  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 55 seconds ago
  • Eric Adams
    Eric Adams “We cannot allow what should be a lawful protest to turn into a violent spectacle that saves and serves no purpose. There's no place for acts of hate in our city. I want to continue to commend the professionalism of the police department and to thank Columbia University. It was a tough decision, we understood that. But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion.” 8 hours ago
  • Sergei Shoigu
    Sergei Shoigu “To maintain the required pace of the offensive … it is necessary to increase the volume and quality of weapons and military equipment supplied to the troops, primarily weapons.” 8 hours ago

“Often, the heads of different departments and companies attend one meeting in the morning about enhancing dynamic zero, and then in the afternoon a meeting about economic growth. The tensions are within Xi's own model for governing the country. The tensions really arise from him.”

“Both inside the Party and outside the Party, people are anxious about the centralisation of power around Xi [Xi Jinping]. I think we can read the increasing prominence of Li in that context. I think there are more people trying to signal their anxiety of Xi Jinping's centralisation of power and the potential future by supporting Li Keqiang in some way. It would be a mistake to think that Li is now able to counterbalance Xi, who has spent his first two terms in office building up personal power at the expense of his premier. I think Xi is probably making a tactical retreat on economics, so letting Li shoulder the economic troubles, if things go wrong then you've got the premier to blame, and if it goes right then it's to the benefit of Xi, and it eases some of the internal pressure.”

“After lionising Xi [Xi Jinping] for many months, the president was absent from the front page of the People's Daily newspaper five times in May - just below the unofficial threshold that something may be afoot. Li [Li Keqiang], by contrast, has been slightly more visible as state media shared a transcript of his economic summit on social media, further intensifying speculation. From late April through May, corresponding to new questions over the handling of COVID in Shanghai and pressures on the economy, the signals have to some extent been mixed. It has no longer been all Xi all of the time. This has led to speculation that perhaps Xi is facing headwinds within the Party over his handling of the crisis - and that this might be an opportunity for Li, who may have very different ideas about where to go with the economy.”
