  • Rina Shah
    Rina Shah “Protests in US universities are a display of democracy in action, a welcome sight in an election year marked by concerns of voter apathy chiefly due to Israel's war on Gaza. So when I see a movement like this of students taking peaceful, non-violent action and expressing their concern about the US government backing of Israel, of where our tax money is going, I think that's extremely healthy. These students are out there concerned about America's role in backing Benjamin Netanyahu. On the one hand, we are supplying weapons and funds to do what he wants to do in Gaza, while on the other we are sending humanitarian aid to Gaza. This is the hypocrisy these students are concerned about.” 10 hours ago
  • Thomas Friedman
    Thomas Friedman “But revenge is not a strategy. It is pure insanity that Israel is now more than six months into this war and the Israeli military leadership - and virtually the entire political class - has allowed Netanyahu to continue to pursue a 'total victory' there, including probably soon plunging deep into Rafah, without any exit plan or Arab partner lined up to step in once the war ends. If Israel ends up with an indefinite occupation of both Gaza and the West Bank, it would be a toxic military, economic and moral overstretch that would delight Israel's most dangerous foe, Iran, and repel all its allies in the West and the Arab world.” 10 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Of course, I'm grateful to all of our partners who have helped us with air defence: each air defence system and each air defence missile is literally saving lives. It's important that everything works out as quickly as possible: every new agreement with our partners to strengthen our air defence, every initiative from Ukraine's friends to help us, particularly with finding and supplying Patriot [anti-aircraft missile systems]. Ukraine needs at least seven [Patriot] systems. Our partners have these Patriots. Russian terrorists can see that unfortunately our partners aren't as determined to protect Europe from terror as they are to do so in the Middle East. But [our partners] can give us the air defence systems that we need. We mustn't waste time: we need to signal determination.” 14 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “I saw that Huawei just put out a new laptop that it boasted was AI capable, that uses an Intel chip. I think it demonstrates that what we're focused on is only the most sensitive technology that could pose a threat to our security. We're not focused on cutting off trade, or for that matter containing or holding back China.” 19 hours ago

“Doha is very optimistic about progress in the nuclear talks to achieve peace and stability in the Gulf region. We hope an agreement that satisfies all parties and guarantees Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy will be reached as soon as possible.”

“Carbon neutrality is a trend that cannot be avoided to limit global warming and it has become the top-tier energy policy around the world now. We have to review the nuclear phase-out policy from the perspective of carbon neutrality, and in the case of Korea, nuclear energy is indispensable as a way to achieve net zero. It is meaningless to attack the current government for advocating the nuclear phase-out policy. Instead, we should focus on how to restructure Korea's energy mix to reduce carbon emissions. Climate change seriously threatens biodiversity - a 1.5-degree Celsius rise in average temperature may put some 30 percent of species at risk of extinction. The scale of danger cannot be compared to nuclear accidents. Over 180 countries do not gather together to discuss the danger of nuclear energy, but they do for climate agreement. I am not saying no to a nuclear phase-out, but the fight against climate change and carbon neutrality is the bigger subject on the agenda of energy policy. If we can reach net zero without nuclear energy, it would be great. However, it is virtually impossible without an astronomical amount of money.”

“There are strong fears over nuclear power, but most of them are superstitions. There is only one nuclear accident that led to death - the Chernobyl accident - and divided by the amount of electricity produced, 0.5 people could be killed out of 1 trillion kilowatt-hour, equivalent to the amount generated for 100 years from a nuclear plant, so it is much safer than other energy sources. The study [about the economic viability of Unit 1 of the Wolsong Nuclear Plant] lowered the rate of operation of the unit and presumed the cost of electricity lower than the production cost to reduce the economic feasibility of the nuclear plant. Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] clearly understood that Moon's [Moon Jae-in] nuclear phase-out policy defied existing laws and killed off Korea's top-notch technology in nuclear power generation. Korea has stable supply chains in all stages of making nuclear plants, from design, construction to operation and has won contracts in overseas markets, including the UAE. Korea's nuclear power technology is recognized internationally, but the phase-out plan dampened its export prospects. Korea does not have underground energy resources such as oil and coal. Renewable energy is not very efficient in Korea. Wind power is weak and solar power generation is available only during the day and it costs even more to store the amount for night. They cannot compete with nuclear energy in efficiency.”

“This year, we have significantly increased our agricultural cooperation, reflected by rising Russian agricultural exports to China, and I expect the trend will continue next year. It is most promising in expanding our agricultural investment cooperation. We are able to build large agricultural complexes in Russia, attract Chinese investors and export our produce such as soybeans to China. Our road transport capacity has declined. Now the drivers and loaders from the Russian side are facing stricter virus control measures, so the number of transport trucks is reduced. I have no doubt that next year will see the implementation of major investment and cooperation projects, including energy, natural gas and nuclear energy between our two countries.”
