Trump says he would like to „take Iran’s oil“ in Financial Times interview

Speaking on Sunday, Trump told the newspaper that his “preference would be to take the oil,” as he weighs whether to seize Iran’s key fuel export hub at Kharg Island. He likened the potential move to the US ambitions to control Venezuela’s oil industry following the capture of its leader Nicolás Maduro in January.

Iran confiscates large number of Starlink satellite systems

The ministry said its operations will continue until the complete discovery of all the satellite terminals, which are all but at the enemy’s disposal.

The ministry said providing and using the illegal Starlink satellite is a “crime” and at war time, those who use it, particularly the enemy’s agents, will receive the harshest punishment.

Jeffrey Epstein sought access to billions in frozen Libyan assets

The documents describe preliminary discussions with international law firms to work on the case on a contingency-fee basis, meaning they would be paid only if they won.

Former officials of British intelligence service MI6 and Israel‘s Mossad expressed willingness to contribute to efforts to identify and recover the assets, according to the documents.

These Trump Supporters, Financiers And Energy Tycoons Could Make Billions From The Venezuela Invasion

(January 8, 2026)

After the U.S. military abducted Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro on Saturday, Wall Street watchers were quick to declare the biggest winner: Paul Singer, the $6.7 billion (net worth) hedge fund manager famous for investing in distressed assets around the world. Amber Energy, a Houston-based startup backed by Elliott, recently prevailed in a U.S. federal court auction to buy Venezuelan oil company Citgo, which owns three refineries in Louisiana, Texas and Illinois, plus a distribution network of 4,000 Citgo gas stations, for $5.9 billion – what many deem to be a steal.

Demolition of UNRWA premises is symbolic of Israel’s attack on the United Nations system: UN expert

This outrageous attack by a UN member State against a UN General Assembly-mandated organisation is unprecedented, dangerous, and should spur the international community into action, especially in view of the Provisional measures of the ICJ in the case brought by South Africa and the recent ICJ opinion, confirming that Israel has no right to interfere with UNRWA’s work.

This attack constitutes a grave violation of the privileges and immunities of the United Nations, and an apparent international crime which adds to the long list that Israel continues to commit in the Palestinian territory it illegally occupies.

These actions are part of Israel‘s genocidal strategy that will not pause of its own volition; it must be stopped through tangible actions from States that must ensure accountability and cut ties with Israel.

I call on the Secretary General to request that the General Assembly convene a special session and consider next steps following these unprecedented attacks on UNRWA and the wider UN.

It is time for the General Assembly to suspend Israel’s credentials, pursuant to Article 6 of the UN Charter, and authorise sanctions and embargoes against Israel, especially on the arms trade.”

Israel demolishes buildings in UN Palestinian agency‘s East Jerusalem compound

(January 20, 2026)

Israel demolished structures inside the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency‘s East Jerusalem compound on Tuesday after seizing the site last year, in an act condemned by the agency as a violation of international law.
Surrounded by Israeli forces, bulldozers razed several large buildings and other smaller structures inside the United Nations Relief and Works Agency compound, where dozens of agency staff once worked.

US Imposes More Venezuela Oil Sanctions on Four Companies and Four Tankers

The US Treasury Department on Wednesday imposed sanctions on four companies and their associated oil tankers for allegedly transporting Venezuelan oil as the Trump administration seeks to escalate its pressure on the country.

The new sanctions come after the US seized two tankers off the coast of Venezuela that were carrying Venezuelan oil, cargo that President Trump has said the US intends to keep, an action that amounts to outright theft.

Behind the Seized Venezuelan Tanker, Cuba’s Secret Lifeline

(December 12, 2025)

President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela and his predecessor, Hugo Chávez, have for decades sent oil to Cuba at highly subsidized prices, providing a crucial resource at low cost to the impoverished island.

In return, the Cuban government over the years has sent tens of thousands of medics, sports instructors and, increasingly, security professionals on assignments to Venezuela. That exchange has assumed special importance as Mr. Maduro has leaned on Cuban bodyguards and counterintelligence officers to protect himself against the U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean

UNRWA Commissioner-General on occupied West Bank: Israeli Authorities Forcibly Enter UN Premises in East Jerusalem

Israel is party to the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the UN. The Convention makes UN premises inviolable – in other words, immune from search and/or seizure – and makes UN property and assets immune from legal process.

The International Court of Justice has also underscored that Israel is obliged to cooperate with UNRWA and other UN agencies.

There can be no exceptions. To allow this represents a new challenge to international law, one that creates a dangerous precedent anywhere else the UN is present across the world.

Israeli police raid UN refugee agency UNRWA‘s East Jerusalem compound

Israeli authorities entered the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency‘s East Jerusalem offices on Monday and raised Israel‘s flag, in a raid they said was ordered over unpaid taxes but was condemned by the agency as a challenge to international law.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which has been accused of bias by Israel, has not used the building since the start of this year after Israel ordered it to vacate all its premises and cease its operations.

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse

I. BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION

1. On 11 May 2022, the Commission submitted to the Council and the European Parliament a proposal for a Regulation laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse 1 , which aims to oblige online service providers, such as providers of hosting services and interpersonal communications services, to prevent the dissemination of, to detect, report and remove child sexual abuse material (‘CSAM’), to prevent, detect and report the solicitation of children (‘grooming’), and to set up a new decentralised EU agency (the ‘EU Centre’) to support the implementation of the proposed Regulation, together with a network of national Coordinating Authorities and other competent authorities.

(…)

II. MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE PRESIDENCY COMPROMISE TEXT
(…)
f) EU Centre to prevent and combat child sexual abuse (Articles 40-82, Recitals 58-74a):

The EU Centre keeps its core functions by assessing, processing and forwarding reports from the providers, advising and otherwise supporting national authorities, facilitating the cooperation with stakeholders and establishing the databases of indicators to support the voluntary activities of providers using the derogation under Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 and the issuance of blocking and delisting orders.

The tasks of the EU Centre are expanded to assist more strongly in the risk assessment and mitigation process, and to develop or facilitate the development of technologies;

– The strengthening of aspects of prevention is introduced, including the preparation of dedicated national strategies by the Member States and a comprehensive communication and outreach strategy by the EU Centre;

– Clarifications about the cooperation between the EU Centre and Europol are
included;

– The possibility for the cooperation of the EU Centre with other EU agencies and bodies, third countries and international organisations is introduced;

– The Executive Board should not be established. Its tasks are conferred on the Management Board of the EU Centre;

(i) ) Entry into force and application (Article 89, Recital 78a)

– The Presidency text foresees that this Regulation will apply 24 months after its entry into force, some provisions related to reporting, the EU Centre, data collection and transparency reporting after 48 months and the amendment to Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 immediately.

Psychopathische Eliten: Warum sich die Menschheit höchstwahrscheinlich selbst zerstört

(Aubust 5, 2025)

Kemp sieht in diesen „Agenten des Untergangs“ die Ursache für den gegenwärtigen Kurs in Richtung gesellschaftlichen Zusammenbruch. „Das sind die großen, psychopathischen Unternehmen und Konzerne, die globale Katastrophen riskieren“, sagt er. „Atomwaffen, Klimawandel und künstliche Intelligenz werden nur von einer sehr kleinen Zahl verschwiegener, sehr wohlhabender und mächtiger Gruppen wie dem militärisch-industriellen Komplex, Big Tech und der Industrie für fossile Brennstoffe produziert.“

„Der springende Punkt ist, dass es nicht um die gesamte Menschheit geht, die diese Bedrohungen schafft. Es geht nicht um die menschliche Natur. Es geht um kleine Gruppen, die das Schlimmste in uns hervorbringen, die um Profit und Macht konkurrieren und alle [Risiken] vertuschen.“

Niemals zuvor hat der Bundestag eine solche Verschuldung beschlossen, niemals zuvor in so kurzer Zeit und so knapp vor dem Ende seiner Zuständigkeit so weitreichende Entscheidungen gefasst. Aber, das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat es gegen alle Behauptungen von AfD und BSW, von Linken und FDP bestätigt: Dies ist keine Revolution, auch kein Putsch gegen die Demokratie. Dies ist legal.

Das Schuldenpaket ist durch den Bundesrat gegangen. Die Zweidrittelmehrheit im Bundesrat für die Verfassungsänderungen hatte laut Medien lange als unsicher gegolten, weil unklar war, wie die Landesregierungen abstimmen würden, in denen Linkspartei, FDP, Freie Wähler und BSW mitregieren. Am Montag hatte allerdings Bayern ein Ja angekündigt.

Am Morgen teilten dann auch Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Bremen mit, dass sie zustimmen werden. In beiden Ländern gibt es Regierungen aus SPD und LINKE.
