The Globe and Mail reported earlier this week that after receiving the information, Canadian diplomats received clear instructions from Ottawa on how to proceed: Do not share any of the information with Ukrainian staff members, despite the seemingly dire situation; and don’t help them leave....

Article écrit par Vendredi 5 août, l’interview de Vladimir Poutine avec Recep Tayyip Erdogan à Sotchi, en Russie, s’est terminée. Ils se sont engagés à renforcer la coopération économique entre les deux pays, mais pas un mot sur un éventuel cessez-le-feu en Ukraine.

The permission never came. The 19-month-old died on March 25. “When I lost my daughter, I felt that there was no life in Gaza anymore,” al-Masri said in a trembling voice. “My daughter’s story will happen again and again.” Israel has been granting licenses for what it calls “rescue care” for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which has been under a mutilated Israeli-Egyptian blockade since the Islamic State militant group Hamas seized power in 2007....

Bruno Valiente a les yeux cerclés d’une nuit blanche de feu, une cheville blessée en recherchant « ma brousse préférée en feu » et surtout un cœur lourd. Maire Calce, l’élu est choqué, ce matin, dimanche 31 juillet, par la rapidité du brasier ardent qui a enflammé la nature. “Ce qui me frappe, c’est que cet incendie qui s’est déclenché, ou que nous avons peut-être déclenché volontairement parce qu’il s’est déclaré sous un bosquet sec et caché, planté en bordure du plat 1 du col de la Dona, s’est transformé si vite en un immense désastre....

Senator Lidia Thorpe, an Aboriginal woman of DjabWurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjmara descent, called Queen Elizabeth II a ‘colonial’ queen on Monday during a swearing-in ceremony in which she was to pledge her allegiance to the British monarch.

He reluctantly swore to serve the Queen of Britain, who still remains head of state in some former British colonies, including Australia and Canada....

Hamas remained largely on the sidelines in the fighting in Gaza on Saturday, raising the prospect that the current round of cross-border violence will be limited in both scope and duration. Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh made noncommittal statements, saying Israel bears full responsibility for the latest escalation, without specifying Hamas’s own intentions. One reason could be jobs. Since the last major conflict in Gaza in May last year, Israel has shifted its policy towards Gaza to what officials have described as an effort to keep the peace, offering financial incentives to the 2 million civilians in the coastal enclave and raising the stakes for Hamas if it decides to join the hostilities....
