**UkraineGood afternoon and Happy New Year, everyone. From Ukraine, our humanitarian colleagues tell us that attacks intensified during the New Year holiday, causing multiple civilian casualties, including among children and journalists, in several parts of the country. Ukrainian authorities reported more than 50 civilian casualties on 31 December 2022 alone. In the capital, Kyiv, a hotel, residential homes and several education facilities, including a university, were damaged in the latest attacks. Furthermore, two children were injured due to hostilities in Khersonska oblast on 31 December 2022. One of them — a 13-year-old boy — was evacuated to the children's hospital in Kherson, which itself was shelled in the early hours of 1 January, according to the Governor.Intensive fighting also continues in eastern Donetska and Luhanska oblasts, with civilian casualties and civilian infrastructure damage reported on both sides of the front line. Despite continued attacks we, along with our humanitarian partners, continue to deliver support to the people in need in the most impacted communities. On 28 December 2022, an inter-agency convoy delivered food, water, blankets, emergency shelter kits and other supplies from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP) to the front-line towns of Lyman and Sviatohirsk in Donetska oblast. Both communities have been exposed to heavy fighting, which destroyed houses and critical infrastructure and decimated access to basic services. The people who still live in these areas are mostly the elderly and people with limited mobility.**IsraelWe've been asked recently about the new Government in Israel, and we can say the following: The Secretary-General looks forward to continuing to work closely with the new Government of Israel to advance the work of the United Nations. He reiterates the United Nations' commitment to supporting Israelis and Palestinians to achieve a sustainable peace and return to the path towards a negotiated two-State solution, based on relevant United Nations resolutions, international law and prior agreements.**MyanmarWe've been asked for a comment on the sentencing of State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, and I can say that the Secretary-General expresses his deep concern over the final verdicts and sentencing of State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and reiterates his calls for her immediate release and that of President Win Myint and of all arbitrarily detained prisoners in Myanmar. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrines the principles of equality before the law, the presumption of innocence, and the right to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, with all the guarantees necessary for a person's defence.**SyriaIn a statement issued yesterday, UN humanitarian leaders urged Security Council members to preserve the cross-border aid lifeline to north-west Syria, warning that without it, millions of people, especially those displaced for years and multiple times, will not have access to food and shelter. UN Security Council resolution 2642 (2022), which allows for aid to be delivered to north-west Syria from across the Turkish border, is set to expire next week. In 2022, UN agencies and partners delivered aid from across the Turkish border, reaching an average of 2.7 million people every month.**LebanonIn response to questions we have been receiving, we can confirm that on 31 December (2022), the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Maritime Task Force assisted the Lebanese Armed Forces-Navy with a search-and-rescue operation relating to a boat in distress off the northern coast, between Beirut and Tripoli. Despite the challenging conditions, the Maritime Task Force and the Lebanese Navy were able to rescue 232 people although, sadly, one child and a woman died.**ColombiaOver the weekend, we issued a statement in which the Secretary-General welcomed the announcement by the President of Colombia of the six-month ceasefire with armed groups, a development that brings renewed hope for comprehensive peace to the Colombian people as the New Year dawns. The Secretary-General said he trusts that adherence to these commitments will reduce violence and the suffering of conflict-affected communities, while helping to build confidence in ongoing dialogues. We also issued statements on the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and the gas tanker explosion in Bokburg, South Africa.

O texto é o primeiro adotado sobre o país desde golpe militar em 2021 e prevê soltura do presidente Win Myint e conselheira de Estado Aung San Suu Kyi, ganhadora do Nobel da Paz. Uma parceria da Agência Radioweb e da Rádio ONU News.

*) Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi gets 4 year sentence Myanmar's ousted leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and Win Myint were each sentenced to four-years each on charges of incitement and violations of a law on natural disasters. The ruling is the first in a series of cases brought against the former leaders since a military coup on February 1. The coup came after the army, whose allied party lost many seats, claimed massive voting fraud, but independent election observers did not detect any major irregularities. *) Anti-Covid restriction protests turn violent in Brussels Tensions flared in Brussels as anti-lockdown protesters clashed with riot police. Police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstrators, who gathered to oppose compulsory health measures against the pandemic. Belgium also imposed the use of Covid-19 passes for people to access bars and restaurants, as the country struggles to stem the rising number of cases. *) Casualties in northern Iraq as Daesh, Peshmerga fight In northern Iraq, Daesh militants killed four Peshmerga soldiers and a civilian, and wounded six others in an attack to take over a village. The group also captured another village a day after attacking it. The two villages are in a remote territory claimed by both Iraq and the govt in Erbil. *) Thousands rally against France's Eric Zemmour Scuffles broke out between anti-racism activists and supporters of far-right French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour at a rally in Paris. Zemmour, who's been dubbed 'France's Donald Trump', promises a "reconquest" against what he called "decades of decline". The 63-year-old evoked the historic period, when Christian forces drove Muslim rulers from the Iberian peninsula in Spain and Portugal. And finally… *) Pope calls on govts to stop using migrants as pawns Pope Francis is calling on governments to stop using migrants as pawns in international politics. The pontiff is currently on a visit to Lesvos in Greece, where he's meeting with refugees at a migrant camp on the island. The Pope is on a five-day trip across the country, aiming to highlight the struggles of refugees.

En Birmanie, Aung San Suu Kyi fait face à de multiples poursuites par la junte militaire qui l'a renversée lors du coup d'État du 1er février. Avec l'ancien président Win Myint, la lauréate 1991 du prix Nobel de la paix vient d'écoper de deux ans de prison pour incitation à la violence et infraction à la loi contre le Covid-19.  Analyse de la situation avec Olivier Guillard, spécialiste de la Birmanie et de l'Asie du Sud-Est, chercheur au Cerias, un centre de recherche sur l'Asie du Sud de l'université du Québec à Montréal, directeur de l'information du cabinet de conseil Crisis24 (GardaWorld) et auteur du livre Birmanie 2020 : de l'état des lieux aux perspectives (Iris/Dalloz, 2009).

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Montag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Suu Kyi in Myanmar zu vier Jahren Haft verurteilt Myanmars entmachtete De-facto-Regierungschefin Aung San Suu Kyi ist zu vier Jahren Haft verurteilt worden. Sie sei wegen des Aufrufs zur Gewalt und wegen des Verstoßes gegen Corona-Auflagen schuldig gesprochen worden, teilte ein Sprecher der Militärjunta mit. Der entmachtete Präsident Win Myint müsse wegen der gleichen Anschuldigungen ebenfalls für vier Jahre ins Gefängnis. Journalisten waren zu dem Verfahren vor einem Sondergericht nicht zugelassen. Suu Kyi war im Februar nach dem Militärputsch in Myanmar festgenommen worden, seitdem wurde sie mit zahlreichen Anschuldigungen überzogen. Taliban bauen Hilfsangebote für Missbrauchsopfer ab In Afghanistan bauen die Taliban laut Amnesty International Unterstützungsangebote für Opfer sexueller Gewalt ab. Dadurch gerieten vor allem Frauen, aber auch Helferinnen und Helfer in Gefahr, heißt es in einem Bericht der Menschenrechtsorganisation. Demnach wurde das Netzwerk landesweiter Hilfen zerstört, weil Einrichtungen geschlossen oder von den Taliban übernommen worden seien. Dass sich Frauen in der Öffentlichkeit nur in Begleitung einer männlichen Person bewegen dürfen, erschwere ihre Lage noch. Auch würden Gewalttäter oft aus der Haft entlassen, Opfer hingegen festgenommen, so Amnesty weiter. Rüstungsexporte florieren weiter Trotz der Pandemie und ihrer wirtschaftlichen Folgen hat die internationale Rüstungsindustrie ihre Waffenverkäufe weiter gesteigert. Die 100 führenden Rüstungskonzerne setzten im Corona-Jahr 2020 schwere Waffen und militärische Dienstleistungen im Wert von 531 Milliarden US-Dollar um. Das geht aus einem neuen Bericht des Stockholmer Friedensforschungsinstituts SIPRI hervor. Der größte Akteur auf dem internationalen Rüstungsmarkt bleiben die USA. 41 US-Konzerne verkauften im vergangenen Jahr Rüstungsgüter im Gesamtwert von 285 Milliarden Dollar. Dahinter folgen Rüstungsfirmen aus China. Erste deutsche Ampel-Koalition auf der Zielgeraden Die SPD gibt heute die mit Spannung erwartete Besetzung ihrer Ministerposten in der Ampel-Koalition aus Sozialdemokraten, Grünen und FDP bekannt. Neben dem Kanzleramt übernimmt die SPD die Ministerien für Arbeit und Soziales, Bauen, Gesundheit, Inneres, Verteidigung sowie wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung. Außerdem stellt sie den Kanzleramtsminister. Die Grünen geben als letzte der drei Ampel-Parteien das Ergebnis ihrer Mitgliederbefragung über den Koalitionsvertrag bekannt. Wenn auch die Grünen zustimmen, kann am Mittwoch Olaf Scholz (SPD) zum Bundeskanzler gewählt werden. Gewalt bei Protesten gegen Corona-Maßnahmen in Belgien In Brüssel ist es bei Protesten gegen die von der belgischen Regierung verfügten verschärften Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Corona-Pandemie zu Auseinandersetzungen gekommen. Die Polizei setzte Wasserwerfer und Tränengas gegen Demonstranten ein, die Feuerwerkskörper und Gegenstände auf Polizisten warfen. Laut Polizei beteiligten sich rund 8000 Menschen an dem Demonstrationszug, der zunächst friedlich verlief. Unter den Teilnehmern waren viele Impfgegner. Sie hielten Schilder hoch mit Aufschriften wie "Impfung - nein, danke", "Freiheit" und "Keine Impfung für unsere Kinder". Wahlsieg für Gambias Präsidenten Bei der Präsidentenwahl in Gambia hat Amtsinhaber Adama Barrow einen deutlichen Sieg errungen. Wie die Wahlkommission mitteilte, kam er auf mehr als 53 Prozent der Stimmen. Mit deutlichem Abstand folgt auf Platz zwei Ousainou Darboe mit knapp 28 Prozent der Stimmen. Die Abstimmung gilt als Bewährungsprobe für die erst vier Jahre alte Demokratie in dem kleinen westafrikanischen Staat. Es war die erste Wahl ohne Yahya Jammeh, der lange Jahre diktatorisch als Staatschef geherrscht hatte. Jammeh war 2016 von einer Koalition unter dem jetzigen Präsidenten Barrow gestürzt worden.

*) Biden, Xi try to tamp down tensions at virtual meeting US President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping have traded strong warnings on the future of Taiwan during a virtual meeting held to settle an increasingly volatile relationship. The leaders of the two superpowers agreed on the need to tread carefully amid mounting tensions and intense competition. Biden raised concerns about China's practices in Tibet, Hong Kong and the Xinjiang region and Xi warned of Taiwan "red line", according to statements from both sides after the meeting. *) Myanmar military charges Suu Kyi with fraud over 2020 elections Myanmar's junta has charged ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi with electoral fraud in the 2020 polls that her party won in a landslide. Suu Kyi was accused of "election fraud and lawless actions," state-run newspaper Global New Light of Myanmar reported. Fifteen other officials, including former president Win Myint and the chair of the election commission, face the same charge. *) Russia, Belarus signal willingness to de-escalate migrant crisis Russia and Belarus have both signalled willingness to de-escalate the refugee crisis at the border with Europe after frantic diplomacy by European leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed tensions on the Poland-Belarus border had to be defused, Macron's office said. The same day, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a phone conversation about the refugee crisis and measures to prevent it from escalating. The diplomatic huddles took place after ​​the EU agreed to expand sanctions on Belarus, which Brussels accuses of causing the crisis by flying in refugees and pushing them to cross illegally into Poland. *) UN relief agency for Palestinians is on verge of collapse The UN Relief Agency for Palestinian refugees is holding a donor conference to make up a 100-million dollar shortfall. Budget cuts have pushed the agency close to collapse. The agency helps Palestinian refugees not only in the occupied territories but also in Jordan and Lebanon. And finally... *) US blasts Russia for space missile test that put ISS crew in danger The United States has criticised Russia for conducting a missile strike that blew up one of its own satellites. The strike created more than 1,500 pieces of space junk now "threatening" the seven astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Washington said it was not informed in advance about the test, only the fourth ever to hit a spacecraft from the ground, and will talk to allies about how to respond.

Wuhan Institute of Virology,  Belarus Air-force just forced down a civilian jet,  Israel and Palestine ...plus that Rhett Palmer thing ============= Retired US Diplomat to 5 different nations  David Hunter shares his knowledge, passion, interest, and experience. Today's Agenda 1)  Belarus:  The Belarus Air-force just forced down a civilian jet,  owned by Irish company RyanAir.  European governments are calling it a State Hijacking.  On board was a 26 yr old Belarus political dissident and journalist named Roman Protase-Vich.  He was hauled off the plane and arrested in Minsk, Belarus.    Can a state legally use Military Jets to bring down a dissident? 2)  Israel and Palestine:  US Sec of State Tony Blinken was in Jerusalem yesterday meeting w/ all parties to the dispute over recent Gaza rocket attacks.  He stated in a press conference that the US is committed to a two-state solution to provide independent states for Jewish and Israeli citizens. Is this a change from the Trump Administration policy?3) Wuhan Institute of Virology: The WIV  is a ultra high level bio-safety lab in Wuhan, China, where the COVID outbreak first occurred.  The Chinese have since Jan 2020 vigorously denied that the lab might have been the source of the original outbreak.  But Wall Street Journal this week issued a series of articles suggesting that the lab leak idea may be more than just a 'conspiracy theory'.  What do you think?  4)   Burma/ Myanmar:  The leader of the political opposition Aung San Suu Kyi, appeared in court along w/ President Win Myint.  She had not been seen since the military coup took place on Feb 1st, which overthrew her as State Counselor/Prime Minister.  The coup was motivated by Ms. Suu Kyi's strong showing in the recent election where she won over 80 percent of votes, which would have given her another 5 yr term.  Instead, she is looking at a 2 yr prison term.  What's going on?Turning Your Dream Smile Into Reality We are proud of the service we provide at Planes Dental Arts.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - As the Myanmar coup heads towards completing two months, the European Union imposed sanctions on 10 of Myanmar's military leaders, this week. Two giant military conglomerates were also blacklisted by the 27 member bloc. The decision, in line with sanctions imposed by the USA, and the UK, will include asset freezes and visa bans and is likely to impact the Tatmadaw's treasury. The country's military has arrested several elected leaders including President Win Myint and Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, calling the last election results fraudulent.  Syria is preparing to hold its second presidential elections since a civil war broke out in the country in 2011. The previous election held in 2014 had seen president Bashar al-Assad win an overwhelming 92% of votes. However, the country's opposition along with the USA and the EU had dismissed the elections as undemocratic and illegitimate. Since then, aided by Russian military interventions and declining western influence in the region, Mr Assad has been able to amass unparalleled power and is expected to win another term in May.  The Bank of England and the Treasury has announced a task force to explore the possibility of a central bank digital currency. The announcement comes a day after British finance minister Rishi Sunak told the Bank to look at the case for a new 'Britcoin', aimed at tackling some of the challenges posed by cryptocurrencies. The task force would be jointly led by the Bank's deputy governor for financial stability, Sir Jon Cunliffe, and the Treasury's director general of financial services, Katharine Braddick.  About egomonk: Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedInegomonk is a global intelligence platform delivering asymmetric outcomes by bringing organizations closer to the communities they want to serve and the leaders they wish to influence.

El 1 de febrero, el Ejército tomó el poder en Birmania y puso fin a diez años de transición democrática en el país asiático. Ese día estaba prevista la constitución del Parlamento que salió de las elecciones del pasado noviembre, pero los militares detuvieron a la líder birmana y –controvertida– premio Nobel de la Paz, Aung San Suu Kyi. También arrestaron al presidente del país, Win Myint, y otros miembros de su partido, la Liga Nacional para la Democracia, y declararon el estado de emergencia durante un año. Desde entonces se han sucedido las protestas e intensificado la represión contra los manifestantes que rechazan el golpe de Estado: ya hay centenares de muertos por la violencia de las fuerzas de seguridad y miles de personas están detenidas. De todo ello hablamos con Macarena Vidal, corresponsal de El País en China; Ignasi Calbó, subjefe de la misión de Médicos Sin Fronteras en Birmania, y Maribel Izcue, periodista y cofundadora de 5W. Un podcast de Raül Flores y Núria Jar.

Il bilancio del colpo di Stato in Birmania è quello di una guerra dimenticata dall'occhio delle telecamere dei media internazionali: oltre 400 morti, un numero ancoraimprecisato di feriti, e decine di migliaia di incarcerati e non processati. Solo sabato, il giorno più nero della mattanza birmana, l'esercito e la polizia hanno ucciso 114 manifestanti inermi e gli agenti hanno pure sparato contro chi partecipava al loro funerale. Sono stati uccisi bambini di 5 anni, ragazzi di 13, donne, vecchi. Le forze golpiste annientano sul campo ogni tipo di posizione politica e civile. Tutto era nato poco dopo le elezioni legislative del 2020 che avevano visto prevalere la Lega nazionale per la democrazia. Il Partito dell'Unione della Solidarietà e dello Sviluppo, vicino all'esercito, ha conquistato solo poche decine di seggi. Così le forze militari hanno ribaltato le elezioni con la forza e la violenza. Il 26 gennaio 2021, il generale Min Aung Hlaing, capo delle forze armate, ha contestato i risultati del ballottaggio e ne ha chiesto la verificaLa Commissione elettorale si è rifiutata e l'esercito è entrato in azione. Arrestati Il consigliere di Stato Aung San Suu Kyi, il presidente Win Myint e altri leader del partito al governo. Poi ogni corteo e anche pur timido presidio dell'opposizione è stato stroncato con le armi.Non sono bastati gli appelli di Joe Biden, dei leader europei, delle associazioni umanitarie per isolare il regime golpista. L'inadeguatezza di certa diplomazia e l'assolutaininfluenza del ruolo dell'Onu hanno fatto il resto. Un esempio? In risposta al colpo di Stato, il Consiglio di sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite ha tenuto una riunione di emergenza, in cui è stata proposta una risoluzione redatta dai britannici che sollecitava il "ripristino della democrazia" in Myanmar, condannava l'azione dei militari e chiedeva di rilasciare i detenuti. Alla fine la dichiarazione non è stata rilasciata a causa del mancato sostegno di tutti i 15 membri del consiglio. Cina e Russia, in quanto membri permanenti delconsiglio e quindi con potere di veto, hanno rifiutato di appoggiare la dichiarazione. Cosa si attende ancora? Un olocausto birmano?

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Despite a military government threatening protestors thousands continued to flood streets in Myanmar, demanding the release of all civilian leaders including Ang San Suu Kyi, a month after she was detained. Myanmar has flared up in protests since February 1st after the country's military or Tatmadaw detained all civilian leaders including President Win Myint and leader of the National League for Democracy Aung San Suu Kyi. Last week, the United States imposed sanctions on two members of the military junta. Lieutenant General Moe Myint Tun and General Maung Maung Kyaw, and warned of more action if the military leader failed to restore the country's civilian government.  Despite increasing rivalry between Asian giants China and India, Beijing was New Delhi's biggest trading partner for the year 2020, according to figures recently released by the Indian Commerce Ministry. Last year, the two Asian neighbours engaged in a tense military standoff at the Indo-China border in Ladakh for months with both sides suffering casualties. They countries agreed to disengage troops recently after at least nine rounds of talks. The military standoff also coincided with a decision by New Delhi to ban over 200 Chinese applications, including popular video-sharing app TikTok, and popular battle royale game PUBG mobile.  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's meeting with US President Joe Biden last week set the tone for several key areas of partnership between the two countries, including climate change but no major discussions on the Keystone XL pipeline was recorded. The US President had earlier put a hold on cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline, a 1,179-mile long pipeline running from the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Nebraska citing climate concerns. The decision has however sparked renewed interest in shipping Canadian oil-sands crude by rail to the USA, and bilateral partnerships between companies operating in the two countries can be expected in the near future leading to an increase in Canadian crude exports.  About egomonk: Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedInegomonk is a global intelligence platform delivering asymmetric outcomes by bringing organizations closer to the communities they want to serve and the leaders they wish to influence.

On the morning of 1 February 2021, democratically elected members of Myanmar's ruling party, the National League for Democracy, were deposed by the Tatmadaw—Myanmar's military. The Tatmadaw proclaimed a year-long State of Emergency, declared power had been vested in Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Min Aung Hlaing and declared the results of the November 2020 general election invalid. President Win Myint and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi were detained, along with ministers, their deputies and members of Parliament, and other prominent political leaders and activists. The people of Myanmar responded with a country-wide (and creative) Civil Disobedience Movement, uniting all religions and ethnic groups against the military regime. The military in turn have responded with violence and bloodshed. MiMi spoke to an anonymous restaurateur in Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar, about dealing with the devastating effects of both a pandemic and a coup.

Myanmar's new military government has blocked access to Facebook as resistance to Monday's coup surged amid calls for civil disobedience to protest the ousting of the elected civilian government and its leader Aung San Suu Kyi.Facebook is especially popular in Myanmar and the ousted government had commonly made public announcements on the social media site.Internet users said the disruption began late Wednesday night, and mobile service provider Telenor Myanmar confirmed in a statement that mobile operators and internet service providers in Myanmar had received a directive from the communications ministry to temporarily block Facebook.Telenor Myanmar, which is part of the Norwegian Telenor Group, said it would comply, though was concerned the order was a breach of human rights."Telecom providers in Myanmar have been ordered to temporarily block Facebook. We urge authorities to restore connectivity so that people in Myanmar can communicate with family and friends and access important information," said a Facebook spokesperson.The political party ousted in Monday's coup and other activists in Myanmar have called for a campaign of civil disobedience to oppose the takeover. In the vanguard are medical personnel, who have declared they won't work for the military government and who are highly respected for their work during the coronavirus pandemic that is taxing the country's dangerously inadequate health system.For a second night Wednesday, residents in Yangon engaged in "noise protests," with people banging pots and pans and honking car horns under cover of darkness. And the recent protests have revived a song closely associated with the failed 1988 uprising against military dictatorship. Myanmar was under military rule for five decades after a 1962 coup, and Suu Kyi's five years as leader is its most democratic period.Videos posted on social media showed medical personnel especially turned out to sing the song "Kabar Makyay Bu" — or "We Won't Be Satisfied Until the End of the World" — which is sung to the tune of "Dust in the Wind," a 1977 song by the U.S. rock group Kansas.The protest movement seemed to have gotten a boost from the government's treatment of the highly popular Suu Kyi, who was detained along with other government leaders on Monday. Her party said Wednesday she was being charged with possessing illegally imported walkie-talkies — believed to be used by her bodyguards — that were found in her house in the capital Naypyitaw,The charge would allow her to legally be kept in custody until at least Feb. 15. The ousted President Win Myint is being held on a separate charge. Suu Kyi is believed to remain under house arrest at her residence, where she was kept after the army detained her.The charge against Suu Kyi carried a penalty of up to three years in prison.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Moments before Mynamar resumed its parliament session yesterday for the first time since its elections in November last year, president Win Myint and state councillor and de facto leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi was detained by state military officials, who later declared a year-long emergency in the country. Myanmar has been battling autocracy ever since it formally gained independence in 1948.  Almost 5,000 people have been arrested in various parts of Russia for protesting against the arrest of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who was detained by state police after landing in Moscow on January 17th. Navalny's wife Yulia has, however, been released after briefly being detained. More violence is expected in the country today as a large section of Russian citizens heed to calls from Navalny's team. The United Arab Emirates has decided to amend its citizenship policies to allow citizenship benefits to select group of foreigners. The move is in variation with the UAE's citizenship policies that seldom allow naturalizations due to the number of benefits the country provides for its citizens.
