Protesters Invited Inside the White House, Fight Each Other Instead
August 7th (Washington, D.C.) – Protestors outside the White House yesterday found themselves the recipients of a unique proposition when the President of the United States invited them inside to discuss their concerns. Unfortunately for them, a lack of cohesion in the crowd made it appear that the opportunity would slip through their fingers. How this rare opportunity to meet with the President came about and the reverberations from the entire escapade has left the protestors, law enforcement officers, and members of the federal government reeling. Details are still emerging, but this is what we know so far.

Sir Keir Must Present His Credentials
Sir Keir will be meeting President Macron soon. He and his Team will climb the steps of the Elysee Palace to be greeted by Macron. President Macron, from his point of view, will want to familiarise himself, with what could be the UK's next government. The personal chemistry between Macron and Starmer will be important as will be the body language (for you people watchers out there!). Important because Macron and Starmer will need to have a good working relationship, friendship, and similar goals. This will apply when Keir Starmer (as Prime Minister) meets other world leaders.

Starmer Brands Sunak: 'InAction Man'.
Prime Minister's Questions have always been a stormy and bantery affair. Prime Ministers and Opposition Leaders have always said, they want an end, to 'Punch and Judy' politics. This refers to the constant argumentative and confrontational time that occurs between the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. Yet, for every statement, to make this affair more calm and peaceable, it hasn't happened.

Why Belarus Won't Join Russia's War on Ukraine (And Why That's Good) As Russia's invasion of Ukraine flounders, Vladimir Putin has pressured his Belarusian ally to join the fray.

How the kurds became a key player in Syria's war
The Kurds are building their own country called Rojava. That is Rojava, a region in northern Syria that stretches to the border with Turkey. It is home to over a million Kurds, one of the largest ethnic groups in the Middle East. Until a few years ago, it was a rural and forgotten corner of Syria, where the Syrian government denied the Kurds legal status.
