During the press-conference, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov praised the Chinese efforts to settle the crisis in Ukraine, insisting that the only way to find the solution is to appeal to the roots of the conflict.

Lavrov stated that every time Russia takes steps to peacefully resolve the conflict with Ukraine and reaches a certain understanding with the other party, this understanding is undermined by the Ukrainians and their masters. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Joe Biden said he's 'done more for the Palestinian community than anybody.' The US leader made the statement during a visit to Detroit as his campaign team desperately attempts to contain the anger of Arab-American voters.

Russian firebrand Vladimir Zhirinovsky was often likened to a Russian version of Donald Trump, so who better than him to predict the recent assassination attempt on Trump. Eight years ago, in one of his typically effervescent addresses to the Russian Duma, Zhirinovsky predicted that ‘If Trump does something they don’t like, they will kill him like they killed John Kennedy. There would be an accidental killing by some psycho in one of the states.’ He was right, but even he couldn’t have predicted the gunman would have a diversity moment and miss. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

German Interior Ministry has banned a magazine just days after its release of an interview with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. Coincidence? RT has a chance to speak to ‘Compact’ journalist Hansjorg Mueller for his take of the situation.

This is how close he came. A sobering 3D animation constructed from head tracking and ballistics data by TikTok account PointConsciousness shows how a last-second turn and tilt of the head saved Trump from a bullet right through his temporal and occipital lobes. Instead of a hole in his head, he just got the most metal ear-piercing job since Evander Holyfield. In one of modern fate’s most twisted ironies, Trump was saved by turning his head to look at a chart about illegal immigration being out of control thanks to Joe Biden. Meaning, indirectly, Joe Biden just saved Donald Trump’s life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

The Mayor of Paris has taken the plunge, and decided to show her faith in the city’s waterways by swimming in the River Seine, to prove the water is clean enough to host the outdoor swimming events at the upcoming Olympics. Clad in a wetsuit, Anne Hidalgo braved the murky waters, her stunt coming just nine days before the Olympic opening ceremony. She didn’t dive in, however, given that two bikes and a scooter had just been fished out of the water, so better safe than sorry. The cleanliness of Paris’ waterways has long been a source of consternation for officials. In June, unsafe levels of E. coli bacteria were found in the Seine, as well as concerning levels of pollution from Paris’ 19th-century sewage system. What's more, protesters have been actively threatening to poop in the river to protest the Olympics. All this on top of long-running general pollution concerns have led to the Seine not exactly being a number one swimming destination. So - E. coli, human poop and scooters. Will this year’s Olympics include an aquatic obstacle course? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
