France accuses Ankara of thwarting Libyan truce efforts by ‘breaking arms embargo’
Paris wants talks with NATO allies to discuss Turkey’s increasingly “aggressive” role in Libya, Reuters has quoted a presidential official as saying. Ankara backs the internationally recognized government in Tripoli, and has secured a foothold in Libya by helping to repel an assault on the capital by the Libyan National Army (LNA) of eastern commander Khalifa Haftar.

EU to discuss greater defence cooperation in face of US-China tensions
The call for greater EU defence cooperation comes in a Franco-German joint paper and, although familiar, has been given added urgency by fears in the bloc that the US and China will become locked in a permanent big power confrontation.
The paper, due to be discussed by EU defence ministers on Tuesday and first obtained by Bloomberg News, says defence integration is necessitated by “the return of power competition and confrontation and the ensuing threat to the rules-based international order”.
The memo proposes that the EU’s intelligence arm should produce a classified threat assessment by the end of the year, on the basis of which it can decide on how to enhance its joint capabilities in the future, in areas ranging from peacekeeping to space and cybersecurity.
North Korea 'ready' to send troops into demilitarised zone as leaflets row escalates
The general staff of the Korean People’s Army [KPA] said on Tuesday it had been studying an “action plan” to reenter zones that were demilitarised under a 2018 inter-Korean agreement and “turn the front line into a fortress and further heighten military vigilance against the South”.
“Our army will rapidly and thoroughly implement any decisions and orders of the party and government,” it said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency.
Scientists fear Coalition's push to deregulate environmental approvals will lead to extinction crisis
Scientists have expressed dismay and frustration at Scott Morrison’s latest push to deregulate the environmental approval process for major developments, noting it comes just months after an unprecedented bushfire crisis and during a review of national conservation laws.
In a speech on Monday, the prime minister said he wanted to slash approval times for major projects by moving to a streamlined “single touch” system for state and federal environmental assessments.
Covid-19 pandemic is 'fire drill' for effects of climate crisis, says UN official
“The overall problem is that we are not sustainable in the ways we are living and producing on the planet today,” said Lise Kingo, the executive director of the UN Global Compact, under which businesses sign up to principles of environmental protection and social justice. “The only way forward is to create a world that leaves no one behind.”
She said there were “very, very clear connections” between the Covid-19 and climate crises, and the Black Lives Matter protests around the world, which she said had helped to reveal deep-seated inequalities and “endemic and structural racism”.
“We have seen illustrated to everyone that social inequality issues are part of the sustainable development agenda,” Kingo said.

India says three soldiers killed in Ladakh 'face-off' with China
Three Indian army personnel, including a commanding officer, have been killed in a "violent face-off" with Chinese soldiers in the Himalayan region of Ladakh, an Indian army spokesman has said.
The Chinese military also suffered casualties in the clash, the editor-in-chief of China's Global Times newspaper said on Tuesday. It was the first such confrontation between the two Asian giants since 1975 in which soldiers have died.

LE MONDE
Les Européens jouent le sablier pour tenter de sauver l’accord sur le nucléaire iranien
La France, le Royaume-Uni et l’Allemagne ont proposé à Téhéran au printemps un « paquet intermédiaire » pour contrer les sanctions américaines.
Piotr Smolar, Allan Kaval y Carrie Nooten
Le 14 janvier, les pays de l’E3 ont déclenché le mécanisme de règlement des différends prévu dans le JCPOA, en raison des violations successives par l’Iran de ses engagements depuis le printemps 2019. Mais les Européens ne voient pas ce mécanisme comme une rupture, plutôt une façon de préserver le dialogue. Les échanges avec les diplomates iraniens, perturbés par la crise sanitaire, se poursuivent. Téhéran estime que la proposition européenne pourrait servir de base pour de futures négociations, en cas de défaite de Donald Trump à l’élection présidentielle de novembre. C’est cette éventualité que les « faucons », à Washington, veulent rendre impossible.
Pas de propositions concrètes à l’issue d’un « dialogue stratégique » entre les Etats-Unis et l’Union européenne
Le secrétaire d’Etat américain, Mike Pompeo, a tenu une visioconférence avec ses homologues lundi.
Jean-Pierre Stroobants
Le menu de cet échange très attendu était copieux : les relations conflictuelles avec la Chine, le projet de désengagement militaire américain en Allemagne, le dossier israélo-palestinien, le voisinage oriental avec la situation en Ukraine. En réalité, « le seul message de Pompeo était : unissons-nous et formons une coalition contre Moscou et Pékin », résume un expert du dossier.
En Chine, la « pensée Xi Jinping » ne fait pas l’unanimité
Alors que le vice-président de l’Ecole centrale du Parti communiste compare le président chinois à Karl Marx, des voix minoritaires redoutent de voir la « capacité de penser » être « dévastée ».
Frédéric Lamaîtres
Deux ans après la fameuse modification de la Constitution, en mars 2018, quelques – rares – voix se font entendre pour dénoncer celle-ci. Depuis quelques jours, circule sur les réseaux sociaux l’enregistrement d’une intervention très sévère pour Xi Jinping prononcée par Cai Xia, une ancienne professeure à l’Ecole centrale du Parti à l’occasion, paraît-il, d’« une réunion secrète de notables rouges ».
Les nouvelles sanctions américaines, pression maximale sur la Syrie d’Assad
La loi César adoptée par le Congrès américain sera mise en application le 17 juin. Elle menace de placer le pays, ruiné par la guerre, au bord de l’asphyxie.
Benjamin Barthe
Cette menace de sanctions, dites secondaires ou extraterritoriales, s’applique notamment aux secteurs du pétrole, de l’aéronautique militaire, des finances et de la construction. La législation oblige l’administration américaine à « déterminer si la banque centrale de Syrie se livre au blanchiment d’argent et, dans l’affirmative, à infliger des sanctions à l’institution ». Plus classiquement, la loi appelle aussi à durcir les sanctions contre les « responsables ou complices » d’atteintes aux droits de l’homme en Syrie et à soutenir la collecte de preuves de ces crimes.

Trump says US cutting troops in Germany over NATO spending
US President Donald Trump has announced a reduction in American troops stationed in Germany. He faulted Berlin for failing to meet its NATO spending obligations and accused it of treating the US "unfairly" on trade.
Germany, he said, is not meeting its commitment to spend 2% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on defense as required by the NATO alliance. Member nations had pledged to reach the 2% threshold by 2024. Germany has said it hopes to reach the target by 2031.
"US troops...are not there to defend Germany. They are there to defend the trans-Atlantic security. They are also there to project American power in Africa, in Asia," Haber said at a virtual event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations.

VOA is viewed as pro-China
Voice of America (VOA) Director Amanda Bennett and Deputy Director Sandy Sugawara both announced their resignations on Monday. The reason is believed to be that the White House accused VOA of propaganda for China. It is so ironic that VOA can even be accused of being Beijing's mouthpiece in Washington.

EU’s Plan B – more strategic autonomy
It should be noted that the US-Germany conflict is a part of the broader conflict between Europe and the US. In the past few years, the Trump administration has ignored the interests and concerns of its European allies. As a consequence, European countries have lost their confidence in the US. They have also questioned the value and future of the transatlantic alliance.
The US treats Europe as an economic competitor rather than a strategic partner. It imposes tariffs on EU steel and aluminum products exported to the US.
The focus of the US strategy has shifted to Asia-Pacific region. It means the US is having less sensitivity to European concerns and interests.
The security interests of Europe are mainly in its surrounding areas. In this regard, the US has become the biggest disruptor of European interests.
The UK has left the EU, and the US has lost its biggest partner in influencing Europe. What's more, Europe has begun to seriously prepare for a Plan B - enhancing its strategic autonomy.

La Corte ordenó la detención de militantes bolsonaristas por "actos antidemocráticos"
En lo que constituye un nuevo golpe a la batalla del presidente Jair Bolsonaro contra los poderes legislativo y judicial, la Corte Suprema de Brasil ordenó la detención de seis militantes fascistas acusados de haber liderado manifestaciones antidemocráticas. Las movilizaciones, que seguian consignas como el cierre de la Corte y el Congreso, o el pedido de intervencion militar, fueron convocadas bajo el amparo del propio mandatario. Entre los detenidos se encuentra Sara Winter, una activista que llegó a la ultraderecha tras dejar el feminismo y que se reconoce como líder del grupo autodenominado 300 de Brasil (en referencia a los espartanos de la película dirigida por Zack Snyder), integrado por una treintena de activistas armados que el pasado fin de semana invadieron una de las terrazas del Congreso y dispararon fuegos artificiales contra la sede de la Corte Suprema. El domingo, la Policía Civil de Brasilia ya había detenido a otro reconocido militante bolsonarista, Renan Sena, que fue identificado como uno de los miembros del grupo que atacó la sede del Tribunal Supremo.

El foco de los debates se trasladó a otro frente medular: la conformación del nuevo Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) y las elecciones legislativas que tendrán lugar este año. Renovar el poder electoral era uno de los pedidos de todo el arco opositor, y, finalmente, el cambio de autoridades tuvo lugar.
La forma en la cual fue decidido el nombramiento de los nuevos rectores fue asunto de disputa durante meses y desacuerdos actuales. Según la Constitución, los integrantes del CNE deben ser designados por la Asamblea Nacional (AN) con el voto de las dos terceras partes de sus miembros. Sin embargo, desde el mes de enero existen en Venezuela una AN presidida por Luis Parra y otra que Juan Guaidó afirma continuar presidiendo.
