Ursula Von der Leyen clearly spells out Russia's deliberate and confrontational actions here. Whilst Russia is behaving in an aggressive & warlike manner, the EU is a union built on, and for, peace.
We, members of the EU, must listen carefully to what she is saying.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

Press and now incl BBC are up to their necks in corruption, bribery and biased reporting - the press of course have been for decades but they’re now joined by BBC with Johnson appointees running the Corp. Why PMs can appoint heads of BBC is quite shocking- whoever the PMs are.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

So most of Gaza flotilla detainees are being released, including Greta Thunberg but not, apparently, all of the Spanish nationals (?).
