He's also called President Putin "bright," and just this week called him "a worthy adversary."Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

In Episode 45 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg notes with alarm the rapid consolidation of a global detention state, extending across borders and rival power blocs. In the United States, Trump moves toward indefinite detention of undocumented migrants, with horrific rights abuses widespread in the fast-expanding camp system. In China, up to a million Uighurs have been detained in "re-education camps," and are facing such abuses as forced sterilization. As India hypocritically protests China's treatment of the Uighurs, it is also preparing mass detention of its own Muslim population. Russia's Vladimir Putin is similarly preparing mass detention of the Crimean Tatars. In Syria, the Bashar Assad regime has detained hundreds of thousands, and is carrying out a mass extermination of prisoners, almost certainly amounting to genocide. In Libya, countless thousands of desperate migrants have been detained, often by completely unaccountable militias, and an actual slave trade in captured Black African migrants has emerged. Yet Trump exploits the mass internment of the Uighurs to score propaganda points against imperial rival China—and some "leftists" (sic) in the US are so confused as to actually defend China's detention state. International solidarity is urgently needed at this desperate moment to repudiate such divide-and-rule stratagems.

The World Economic Forum is set to hold its annual Davos Summit from January 22 to January 25 in Switzerland. The event will be attended by world leaders, economists, business persons, journalists and political leaders. It will also witness participation of around 3,000 individuals. A wide range of issues are likely to be discussed at the event. There will be a total of 130 participants from India, more than China’s 109. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the opening session of the World Economic Forum last year, becoming the first Indian prime minister in two decades to join the world’s top business leaders in the resort town. However, this year Prime Minister Modi will give the event a miss. US President Donald Trump, who addressed the summit in 2018, will also not be attending this year amid a government shutdown back home. British Prime Minister Theresa May will also give the annual event a miss to focus on Brexit. France's Emmanuel Macron and Russia's Vladimir Putin have also decided to stay away from the summit. Meanwhile, China's economy has grown at its slowest pace in almost three decades last year. Guest - Ajay Dua, Former Secretary, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, A.K.

This is 'The Bible in the News' brought to you again this week by Paul Billington here in Ontario Canada--and like many others in the northern hemisphere, we watch the gradual approach of winter, knowing that keeping warm over the next few months will cost us--we will have to pay the price for the energy we require. And for those living in Europe, that price could be very high. Not that it is just this year--but the winter of 2007-8 as well, followed by that of 2008--9 and so on. The time may well come when the price of keeping warm--the price of energy--could be freedom. As we pointed out on this programme last week, Russia's Vladimir Putin is expanding his control, not only over the former empire of the Soviet Union, but over Western Europe as well--and this he is doing through Germany.
