      The UK is bracing itself for more cold weather, with a ‘snow bomb’ reportedly set to arrive on UK shores over the next few weeks. We’ve had snow in parts of the UK over the past few days, and if forecasts are to be believed there’s a whole lot set to arrive off the Atlantic Ocean soon. WX Charts is a site that publishes models of long-term weather forecasts, looking ahead to the conditions we can expect weeks and months in advance.

      Sadiq Khan suffers a major blow as London borough refuses to install ‘unfair’ ULEZ cameras

      Croydon Council will “do everything it can” to resist the rollout of Transport for London (TfL) traffic cameras as the Ultra-low Emission Zone is expanded to cover the whole of London, the borough’s mayor has said. It comes as the South London council has joined with other outer London boroughs to explore what legal action it could take against Transport for London’s £12.50 daily charge for some drivers. In a statement, Mayor of Croydon Jason Perry said: “I have been clear from the start that Croydon Council strongly opposes Sadiq Khan’s plan to expand the Ultra-Low Emission Zone. “Khan’s plan will not only force hundreds of Croydon residents to pay £12.50 a day just to drive their car, but his own studies show…

      Kremlin stays silent on missile systems seen on Moscow rooftops

      Images on social media appear to show Pantsir-S1 mobile anti-aircraft systems installed in locations around Moscow.

      US designates Russian Wagner mercenary force a crime organisation

      The Wagner Group has an estimated 50,000 fighters in Ukraine, 80 percent of them drawn from Russian prisons. The United States has designated Russia’s Wagner mercenary group as a “transnational criminal organisation”, piling pressure on the private army that has recruited tens of thousands of Russian prisoners to fight in Ukraine.

      AUCKLAND: New Zealand’s former Covid-19 response minister Chris Hipkins will replace Jacinda Ardern as prime minister after receiving the only nomination from fellow MPs, the ruling Labour Party said Saturday.

      Zionist group uses US anti-terrorism laws to sue Palestinian activists

      One of the world’s oldest Zionist organisations with close ties to the Israeli government, the Jewish National Fund (JNF), is using American anti-terrorism laws to sue a major Palestinian rights group in the US over its support for the international boycott movement. The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a coalition of groups seeking to end the decades-long occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank, said the lawsuit is a part of a broader, Israeli-led strategy to harass organisations critical of the oppression of the Palestinians. The JNF and a group of American Israelis are seeking damages from the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights over its support of the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement, led by Palestinians to mobilise non-violent international pressure on Israel.…

      Republicans may throw a spanner in US military aid to Ukraine, CIA chief tells Zelenskyy

       In a meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week, CIA Director William J Burns told the war-torn country’s leader that US military aid may not come through as easily in the coming months. Burns travelled secretly to Ukraine, according a Washington Post report. He “emphasised the urgency of the moment on the battlefield and acknowledged that at some point assistance would be harder to come by”, the Post reported. Republicans, who won majority in the US House of Representatives in the 2022 mid-terms, have repeatedly asked for more scrutiny on the aid going to Ukraine. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, in October before the mid-terms, had said that Ukraine won’t get a “blank cheque” any more under a Republican majority. This comes against the…

      India has criticised a BBC documentary on prime minister Narendra Modi’s role in the 2002 religious riots in Gujarat that killed over 1,000 people – most of them Muslims – while he was chief minister of the state.
