TOKYO: Japan strongly condemned the attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia and reiterated its call on them to refrain from escalating the situation both inside and outside Yemen. “The Houthis’ continued military attacks have resulted in numerous casualties, including among civilians.

Trump on Xi and China: People say he spies on us but we spy on him too. We are good at it also. We get along. The fact we get along is a good thing. We do well with China now.
Trump: If China wanted to come in and open a plant to build their cars here, I would be okay with it. Japan does it. But they hire our people. The big thing is they hire our people. In fact, they use our people.

NEW DELHI, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The BRICS group of countries has agreed on a joint declaration, which is unlikely to name any country but will condemn unilateral war by any country, four sources told Reuters on Saturday.

Zelensky: There is no army like Ukraine’s in Europe right now. Of course, for now — Europe is developing and will receive information, technologies, and experience from us through partnership. But there is no such army anywhere in Europe.

Zelensky: This is a very costly process for the Russian Federation. Of course, it is costly for Ukraine as well. War is expensive, but Russia is losing a huge number of people, completely disproportionate, certainly compared with Ukrainian losses.
Zelensky: Ukraine is capable of responding to Russia’s operations — any operation. Russia knows that if they strike — and they are preparing to strike our energy system in winter — Russia will receive the same in return. If they create blackouts for us, we will try to respond in a worthy way.

Russia attacks have targeted cargo vessels, steel plants and industrial facilities across Ukraine.
Zelensky: Ukraine can provide no less security in the future than Europe provides Ukraine today — through our experience and military technologies. Ukraine is not asking someone to allow it to become a member of the EU. The EU understands the necessity of Ukraine being in the EU on equal terms, because Ukraine brings its own type of investment into the EU — investment into the security of the European Union. I am glad that Ukraine’s status has changed: from being a country asking for help, t
Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops killed four residents of the Donetsk region, and five more people were wounded.

Ukraine's largest corruption scandal in years came to light last year with a wave of arrests, sanctions, and a political shakeup. New revelations over the past few weeks suggest that produced little result. Last November, Ukraine’s anti-corruption authorities' Operation Midas uncovered a $100 million money-laundering and bribery scheme that implicated high-ranking officials and associates close to President Volodymyr Zelensky, largely through state-owned energy company Energoatom. At the cente
The number of people injured in Odesa region as a result of a combined missile-and-drone attack has risen to 28, including two children – a five-month-old infant and a 17-year-old youth, Head of the Regional Military Administration Oleh Kiper said.

Iran praises Houthi victory along strategic Red Sea coast as ‘divine triumph’ Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has congratulated Yemen’s Houthis following reports of them seizing the entire Red Sea coastline of the country. The advance was described by IRGC spokesman Sardar Mohebi as a “divine triumph” and the culmination of years of resistance by the group. The Houthis’ advance represents a “divine triumph and the fruit of years of steadfastness in the most difficult of battlefi
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Gaza: If every country in Europe were willing to take 20,000 or 30,000 Gazans, this whole story would be over. But there is European hypocrisy here, and of course Egyptian hypocrisy. There are no countries willing to absorb them in large numbers. Ultimately, two million Nazis who for generations have been educated in deep antisemitic hatred of Israel cannot live there.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: If a war ends on the same lines where it began, what price did the enemy pay? What would deter him from fighting again? The dead don’t interest them. You can say, "We killed 50,000 terrorists in Gaza" — it doesn’t interest them. They aren’t like us, where the sanctity of life has value. In my view, the basic principle is this: if you start a war against me, if you win, you gain. If you lose, you lose territory.

A young Malagasy woman was stopped at Madagascar’s Ivato International Airport last month as she prepared to travel to China for a proposed marriage, according to local media reports citing police.

Zelensky: Very often Ukraine is pushed toward different arrangements so that Russia can be satisfied that Ukraine will never be in NATO. We don’t know whether Ukraine will be in NATO or not. Of course, we will fight tooth and nail to secure the strongest possible security guarantees for Ukraine by the end of the war. Because the main thing is to end the war and to have guarantees that this war will not begin again.
