Beijing coronavirus outbreak: city raises emergency level and grounds hundreds of flights
China’s capital has raised its emergency level as dozens of new coronavirus cases emerged and residents were barred from any “unessential” travel outside Beijing following a new outbreak of the virus that is yet to be brought under control.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled, schools suspended and all residential compounds ordered to reinstate strict screening after authorities raised the city’s four-tiered Covid emergency response level from three to two on Tuesday evening. All movement in and out of the city will be “strictly controlled”, officials said at the briefing.
Authorities reported 31 new cases of the virus in Beijing as of Tuesday, bringing the total number of infections to 137 over the past six days.
North Korea accuses South of being like a 'mongrel dog' as relations worsen
North Korea has accused South Korea of behaving like a “mongrel dog” bent on confrontation in a state media report that explains the regime’s decision to blow up a liaison office – a move that has significantly raised tensions between the two countries.
As the North’s propaganda machine gained momentum, Kim Yo-jong, the powerful younger sister of the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, continued her verbal assault on the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, saying in a separate statement that previous inter-Korean agreements had failed because Moon had “put his neck into the noose of pro-US flunkyism”.
Shock and anger in India after worst attack on China border in decades
The killings were sparked when a patrol of Indian soldiers unexpectedly encountered Chinese troops in a steep section of the mountainous region they believed the People’s Liberation Army had retreated from, in line with a 6 June disengagement agreement, sources in Delhi said.
The two armies jostled and hand-to-hand fighting broke out – neither side armed in line with decades of tradition supposed to ward off the possibility of escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
Reinforcements from the Indian side were summoned from a post about 4km away and eventually about 600 men were fighting with stones, iron rods and other makeshift weapons in near-total darkness for up to six hours, Indian government sources said, with most deaths on both sides occurring from soldiers falling or being knocked from mountain terrain.

Turkish warplanes attack Kurdish targets in northern Iraq
Turkey's Ministry of Defence says its warplanes have struck Kurdish targets in northern Iraq's Haftanin region on Wednesday, the second such operation launched against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in recent days.
"Our heroic commandos are in Haftanin," the ministry said on Twitter, dubbing the new operation "Claw-Tiger".
North Korea rejects Seoul's overtures, will send troops to border
North Korea said on Wednesday that it would redeploy troops to demilitarised border areas, rejecting South Korea's offer to send special envoys to ease tensions and effectively ending 2018 reconciliation efforts.
The moves, reported by state news agency KCNA, came a day after Pyongyang destroyed the joint liaison office that had been set up in the border town of Kaesong as part of the peace agreements, and drew a strong rebuke from South Korea's presidential office.
US to seek in-person meetings with Iran over prisoner releases
The United States would like a in-person meeting with Iran to discuss prisoner releases and it wants the UN Security Council to impose an indefinite arms embargo on the Islamic Republic, a senior US diplomat said on Tuesday.
The two adversaries disagree on many issues, including US President Donald Trump's decision two years ago to abandon the 2015 Iran nuclear deal under which Tehran limited its nuclear programme in return for economic sanctions relief.
US, Canada and Mexico extend border restrictions for 30 more days
The United States, Canada and Mexico have agreed to extend their restrictions to keep their shared borders closed to non-essential travel until at least July 21 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

US press freedom an illusion, used to mask selfish interests
The Voice of America (VOA)'s two top editors, Amanda Bennett and Sandra Sugawara, resigned on Monday due to concerns over their editorial independence, putting a stop to the months-long clash between the outlet and the White House.
The White House launched extraordinary attacks on the VOA on April 10, saying the federally funded mouthpiece had promoted "Chinese propaganda" in calling Chinese city Wuhan's lockdown a successful model emulated by much of the world in battling COVID-19.
In 2017, Russian television group RT was banned from covering the US Congress due to the alleged Russiagate. In February 2020, amid escalating US-China tensions, the US designated five Chinese media companies as "foreign missions,"

India should curb ‘boycott China’ voices after border clash
Following a fatal physical clash between Chinese and Indian border defense troops in the Galwan Valley region, some extreme anti-China groups and individuals in India have been promoting a China "boycott."
Rational voices in India have repeatedly pointed out that it is unrealistic and self-destructive for Asia's third-largest economy to launch frictions with the largest economy in the region.
According to UNCTAD's World Investment Report 2020 issued on Monday, global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows are forecast to decrease by up to 40 percent in 2020, down from their 2019 $1.54 trillion value, while investment flows to developing countries in Asia could fall up to 45 percent in 2020.
The space for economic cooperation between China and India is vast. Economic and trade cooperation is of great significance to the economic development of both countries, and to overcoming difficulties

US political elites can fool Americans, but not the world
US Republican Congressman Michael McCaul on Monday released an interim report titled "The origins of the COVID-19 global pandemic, including the roles of the Chinese Communist Party and the World Health Organization."
The report criticized China's alleged concealment of the COVID-19 spread. It also called for "new leadership at the WHO," and an international investigation about the early stages of the COVID-19. It also wants, "concrete reforms to the International Health Regulations."
McCaul's report made three suggestions, including calling for new leadership at the WHO. These suggestions are highly unlikely to be adopted. Due to the "America First" policy, the US has become extremely destructive of the stability of global order it established after World War II. People have seen that US political elites are extremely irresponsible. They have abandoned their own people and international affairs. In the face of the pandemic, US politicians have blamed China and the WHO instead of admitting their own failures. This is typical bullying.
The US' international image is in total decline

China, India are resolving border clashes through diplomatic, military channels: Chinese FM
Chinese experts called the most severe situation China and India have experienced along the border in decades, broke out on Monday between the two countries' border defense troops in the Galwan Valley.
Indian media reported on Tuesday that three Indian soldiers had been killed, citing the Indian Army, but later updated the number to 20.
After the incident, China and India expressed their commitment to resolving the issue through dialogue and maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas. As the world's two largest developing countries, China and India share far more common interests than differences, Zhao said.

PLA J-10 fighter jet’s sorties near Taiwan ‘sign of normalized operation’
Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) warplanes have approached Taiwan island at least three times in just eight days, with the latest being a J-10 fighter jet again entering the island's southwestern "airspace," said Taiwan's defense authority. This shows that this kind of operation by the PLA has become normalized and will put huge pressure on secessionists, analysts said on Wednesday.

Israeli businesses remain eager for Chinese market despite mounting pressure from US
Bilateral business activities between China and Israel have been making progress despite the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting normal communications, and the two sides are looking forward to strengthening cooperation and business expansion in the post COVID-19 period.
The close business ties between China and Israel, particularly in the high-tech sector, won't be dented by the US, business representatives and experts told the Global Times.
During a visit to Israel in May, Pompeo warned Israel against Chinese participation in infrastructure projects, citing "security concerns."
"Over the past few years, he has been labeling Chinese products, investments and personnel as 'security risks' without producing any concrete evidence," the Chinese Embassy in Israel responded in May.

LE MONDE
L’arrivée de soldats américains fait débat en Colombie
Pour la première fois, un contingent de la Brigade d’assistance aux forces de sécurité, la SFAB, est déployé en Amérique latine, officiellement pour aider l’armée colombienne dans la lutte contre la drogue.
Marie Delcas
Que viennent faire en Colombie les soldats américains ? Officiellement, les cinquante-trois militaires de la Brigade d’assistance aux forces de sécurité (SFAB en anglais), une unité américaine d’assistance aux forces locales, arrivés à Bogota le 1er juin, sont là pour prêter main-forte à l’armée colombienne dans le cadre de la coopération entre les deux pays en matière de lutte contre la drogue. L’opposition considère que le déploiement de troupes américaines est illégal et dangereux pour la paix du pays et de la région. D’aucuns craignent que Washington ne préparer une intervention contre le Venezuela voisin. Le débat sur les enjeux de la guerre contre la drogue s’en trouve relancé.
Le programme « Scorpion » pour une guerre robotisée

Menacé de retards, « Scorpion » commence être appliqué concrètement dans les régiments. Les Griffon, blindés connectés transportant les troupes au combat, vont peu à peu remplacer les vieux VAB (véhicules de l’avant blindé).

Face à la colère antiraciste, Donald Trump lance une réforme limitée de la police aux Etats-Unis
Le décret présidentiel inclut l’interdiction des prises controversées d’étranglement, sauf « si la vie d’un policier est en danger ».
Devant des représentants de son gouvernement, de la police et des parlementaires républicains, mais en l’absence notable des proches des victimes, M. Trump a souligné qu’il s’opposait « fermement » aux efforts « radicaux » pour démanteler les services de police, comme celui annoncé à Minneapolis : « Les Américains connaissent la vérité : sans la police, il y a le chaos, sans le droit, il y a l’anarchie, et sans la sécurité, c’est la catastrophe. »

Transgresser les frontières, faire pression sur l’Union européenne avec les réfugiés − comme cela a été fait en mars avec l’envoi de milliers de réfugiés à l’assaut de la frontière grecque −, attiser les tensions en Méditerranée sont autant de menaces d’instabilité qui garantissent sa propre stabilité. Le désengagement américain et l’inertie de la diplomatie européenne lui ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives, celles d’un nouveau partage de la Méditerranée dont il entend bien tirer parti.

Alors qu’il cherchait à identifier un cargo suspecté de transporter des armes vers la Libye, le bâtiment a fait l’objet de trois « illuminations radar » de la part d’un des navires turcs, « un acte extrêmement agressif qui ne peut pas être l’acte d’un allié vis-à-vis d’un navire de l’Otan », commente-t-on au ministère des armées.

« Secondary Infektion » : une vaste mais inefficace campagne de manipulation du Web venue de Russie
Des chercheurs lèvent le voile sur une campagne de propagande en ligne, menée entre 2014 et 2020 dans divers pays occidentaux, qui épouse parfaitement les intérêts stratégiques russes.
Martin Untersinger
Malgré tout, au cours de cette enquête, les chercheurs ont été intrigués par une caractéristique majeure de « Secondary Infektion » : malgré la longueur de l’opération et les importants moyens qui y ont été consacrés, cette dernière n’a eu quasiment « aucun impact mesurable ». Très peu d’articles ont été massivement relayés ou consultés. Les quelques vidéos postées n’étaient visionnées qu’une poignée de fois et lorsque ses opérateurs tentaient de propager leurs contenus sur les réseaux sociaux, les mécanismes de modération les en empêchaient souvent.

Venezuela: Top court suspends leaders of key opposition parties
Venezuelan Supreme Court has suspended the leadership of two political parties ahead of parliamentary elections expected this year. It has replaced them with politicians seen as allies of President Nicolas Maduro.
The court suspended and replaced the board of directors for the Justice First party a day after the same move against the Democratic Action, one of the nation's oldest and largest parties. It was part of a "necessary restructuring process," the court said in rulings posted on Facebook.
Justice First is a key ally of Guaido's party Popular Will, which seeks to oust Maduro as president.

Opinion: Let's topple statues to decolonize
Nor does toppling colonial statues erase history. Rather, it is a political protest against the celebration of a common history or present, where one side is still suffering the consequences of that history.
Removing these symbols, however, can deconstruct racism. People who argue to protect symbols of a racist historical past prevent the future from being better.
Colonial, racist or slavery-era triggers are a visible barrier to decolonization and reconciliation, because they embed white supremacy in public spaces.
The questions of whether colonial statues must fall or street names change is not a matter of history alone. They are key in the process of reckoning with ongoing injustice to work toward decolonizing the future.

'21st century apartheid': Israel's West Bank annexation plan denounced by UN experts (Middle East Eye)
Almost 50 UN human rights experts have condemned Israel's plan to annex large parts of the occupied West Bank, calling it a vision of "21st Century apartheid."
In a joint statement released on Tuesday, the 47 independent experts said Israel's occupation of the West Bank had been the source of "profound human rights violations" against the Palestinians, chiefly the denial of the right of self-determination.

Turkey eyes Libya military bases for lasting presence in Mediterranean: Source (Al Arabiya)
Turkey and Libya’s UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) are discussing possible Turkish use of two military bases in the North African country, a Turkish source said on Monday, with a view to a lasting Turkish presence in the south Mediterranean.
A more permanent air and naval presence in Libya could reinforce Turkey’s growing influence in the region, including in Syria, and boost its claims to offshore oil and gas resources. Turkey has also flagged possible energy and construction deals with Tripoli once the fighting ends.

Escandalosos correos comprometen a Macri y Peña en el armado de causas
Un compendio de 18 correos electrónicos hallados en la secretaría privada de la Agencia Federal de Inteligencia (AFI) ofrece una especie de foto de la llamada “mesa judicial” que operó durante el gobierno de Cambiemos para desplegar su influencia en causas judiciales, además de poner y sacar jueces/zas y fiscales/as a gusto. Basta con ver los nombres de los destinatarios que eran convocados a reunirse, aunque quizá una de las sorpresas mayores es quién y adónde convocaba, porque las invitaciones provenían del ex jefe de gabinete, Marcos Peña –a veces con una tarjeta adjunta inclusive– que reunía a todos en su despacho. Y porque en algunos casos se anunciaba especialmente la presencia del expresidente Mauricio Macri en el cónclave. El fiscal Ramiro González pedirá el material para incorporarlo al expediente donde investiga si el grupo en cuestión cometió delitos, según informaron allegados al caso.

Bolsonaro aplica una ley de la dictadura por un dibujo que lo vincula al nazismo
Jair Bolsonaro emprendió una nueva cruzada: esta vez contra un dibujante, a quien le quiere aplicar una ley de la dictadura. Se trata de Renato Aroeira, quien según el gobierno del ultraderechista, habría violado el artículo 26 de la Ley de Seguridad Nacional aprobada en 1983 en tiempos de Joao Figueiredo, el último dictador de Brasil. Ese artículo condena expresamente los delitos de "calumnia" o "difamación" en los casos del presidente de la República, del Senado, de la Cámara de Diputados o del Supremo Tribunal Federal y establece una pena de uno a cuatro años de prisión.
Aroeira dibujó a Bolsonaro con un tarro pintura haciendo una intervención sobre la Cruz Roja. El Bolsonaro de la caricatura agrega unos trazos negros en las puntas de la cruz, resignificando el símbolo universal de la salud que, entonces, semeja una esvástica. "¿Vamos a invadir otro?", se pregunta el presidente de extrema derecha en la viñeta. El dibujo lleva como título: "Crimen continuado".
