North Korea denies supplying weapons to Russia
SEOUL — North Korea says it has never sold weapons to Russia and has no plans to do so, following US reports that Moscow was turning to Pyongyang to replenish stockpiles.US officials had said Russia was in the process of purchasing rockets and artillery shells from North Korea.They said such moves, along with alleged purchases of Iranian weapons, showed Western sanctions were impeding Russia's efforts in the Ukraine war.Moscow denied the reports at the time.Any arms movement between the two countries would be in violation of United Nations sanctions.On Thursday, in a statement carried by North Korean state media KCNA, an unnamed official at North Korea's defence ministry said: "We have never exported weapons or ammunition to Russia before and we will not plan to export...

NATO chief condemns Putin’s speech on mobilization as ‘dangerous’
BRUSSELS — NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg Wednesday condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement on mobilization as “dangerous and reckless nuclear rhetoric.”“The speech is an escalation, but it is not a surprise. Therefore, we have been prepared. We will stay calm and continue to provide support to Ukraine,” he said in a statement in New York at the margins of the UNGA.“The speech of President Putin demonstrates that the war is not going according to President Putin’s plans,” the NATO chief noted.“It’s not new as he has done it many times before.

Putin declares partial military mobilization to bolster Russia's war effort
MOSCOW — Russia will enforce a partial mobilization of its citizens to further support the war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin said in a much-expected pre-recorded speech on Wednesday morning.The mobilization, effective immediately, will affect army reserves and those who had previously served in Russia's armed forces."We are talking about partial mobilization, that is, only citizens who are currently in the reserve will be subject to conscription, and above all, those who served in the armed forces and have a certain military speciality and relevant experience," Putin stressed.Russia is believed to have up to 2 million reservists, but only a fraction receive refresher training regularly. The partial mobilization decree might see some 300,000 former active units called...

Social media is at the forefront of ‘climate deception’, Harvard report reveals
BRUSSELS — Car brands, airlines and fossil fuel companies are using social media to greenwash their reputations, according to a new investigation from Harvard University.The report, commissioned by Greenpeace, says its findings show how companies in Europe exploit people’s concerns about the environment to spread disinformation online.“Social media is the new frontier of climate deception and delay,” says Geoffrey Supran, lead author of the study.The history of science researcher says that while Europe was experiencing its hottest summer on record, “some of the companies most responsible for global heating stayed silent on social media about the climate crisis.”He adds that they instead used language and imagery to position themselves as “green, innovative, charitable...

Right-wing Italy party suspends election candidate for praising Hitler
ROME — The Brothers of Italy party, which looks set to win the country’s general elections on 25 September, has suspended one of its candidates on Tuesday after he was found to have praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler in online posts.Brothers of Italy traces its roots back to a neo-fascist group set up after World War II - the Italian Social Movement, MSI - but its leader Giorgia Meloni, expected to be Italy's next prime minister, has looked to distance herself from the far-right and says her party is a moderate conservative force.Meloni herself can be seen in an interview with French television from 1996 describing Mussolini as a “good politician”.Critics, however, accuse the party of harboring neo-fascists among its ranks - indeed, two of Mussolini’s descendants are among...

Italy readies itself for a snap general election
ROME — Italy is readying itself for a snap general election on Sunday, Sept. 25. Italy’s upcoming set of general elections was originally slated for next spring. So why have politicians been battling this summer’s torrid temperatures to campaign for votes?It was sparked by the resignation of Prime Minister Mario Draghi on July 21 and the collapse of his big-tent coalition government, which included leftist, right-wing and centrist parties.Draghi came to power after another coalition — headed by the lawyer Giuseppe Conte — collapsed in January 2021.Draghi has been acclaimed by analysts and commentators around the world for spearheading Italy’s post-COVID economic recovery in 2021, which led to its selection as “Country of the Year” by The Economist — a jarring contrast...
