Lepší premiér Petr Fiala? Má mediální obraz politického eunucha. Nebo čivavy! Komentátor Vyoral roztrhal vizi Šafrova časopisu na cucky

PÁTEČNÍ ZÚČTOVÁNÍ TOMÁŠE VYORALA Titulní stránka časopisu Pavla Šafra Revue Forum nabídla čtenářům „lepšího premiéra“. Tím není nikdo jiný než předseda ODS Petr Fiala. Redakce ho porovnala se současným ministerským předsedou Andrejem Babišem a ten bez překvapení vůbec neprošel. Komentátor Tomáš Vyoral se ale vysmál představě, že by v čele vlády stanul právě Fiala. Proč? Zde jsou jeho poznatky.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Calls Trump a ‘Clown’ in Friday Prayers Sermon

(TEHRAN, Iran) — Iran’s supreme leader said President Donald Trump is a “clown” who only pretends to support the Iranian people, as he addressed Friday prayers in Tehran for the first time since 2012.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says Trump will “push a poisonous dagger” into the nation’s back. He said the outpouring of grief at the funeral for Iran’s top general, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike earlier this month, shows that Iranians support the Islamic Republic.

Khamenei said America had “cowardly” killed the most effective commander in the fight against the Islamic State group when it killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad.

In response, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting U.S. troops in Iraq, without causing serious injuries. As Iran’s Revolutionary Guard braced for an American counterattack that never came, it mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian jetliner shortly after it took off from Tehran’s international airport, killing all 176 passengers o..

11 U.S. Service Members Were Treated for Concussion Symptoms After Iranian Missile Attack

Eleven U.S. soldiers were treated for concussion symptoms following the Iranian missile attack on Iraqi military bases housing American troops, the U.S. military said.

“While no U.S. service members were killed in the Jan. 8 Iranian attack on Al Asad Air base, several were treated for concussion symptoms from the blast and are still being assessed,” U.S. Central Command spokesperson Capt. Bill Urban said in a statement. “As a standard procedure, all personnel in the vicinity of a blast are screened for traumatic brain injury, and if deemed appropriate are transported to a higher level of care.”

Eight service members were transported from the Al Asad Air Base to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, and three were taken to Camp Arifjan in Kuwait for screenings “out of an abundance of caution,” Urban said. The soldiers are expected to return to Iraq after being screened.

The missile attack on Jan. 8 was retaliation for an American drone strike near Baghdad that killed top Iran..

Loutky v mediálních radách. Prostě nechci. Maxipes Minář u Emmy v DVTV

Moderátorka Emma Smetana v internetové televizi DVTV přivítala předsedu spolku Milion chvilek pro demokracii Mikuláše Mináře. A host neváhal používat silná slova. Varoval před „nepřijatelným uchvácením úřadu ombudsmana“ Helenou Válkovou, udeřil na „politické loutky“, které v mediálních radách posilují vliv mocných. Babišovi vzkázal, že se ve své roli premiéra buď spolku Milion chvilek bojí, nebo dobře ví, že pravda není na jeho straně. Prozradil také, jak by měly dopadnout příští volby.

Lednový převrat Vladimira Putina. Velká šachová partie. Znalkyně Ruska radí, co teď sledovat

ROZHOVOR Jako velkou šachovou partii Vladimira Putina hodnotí znalkyně Ruska a autorka úspěšné knihy o režimu současného prezidenta Veronika Sušová Salminen nejnovější návrhy na změnu ústavy. Putin se podle ní snaží nově nastavit ústavní procesy v zemi. Neočekává ale, že by se opakoval scénář jeho nástupu před dvaceti lety.

Stanislav Křeček o poměrech na ombudsmanství za Šabatové. Kauza na Válkovou nebyla náhoda, měli z ní obavy

ROZHOVOR „Já se přece neucházím o práci pokrývače, řidiče autobusu nebo člena lehkoatletického týmu na olympijské hry,“ říká horký kandidát na ombudsmana Stanislav Křeček. I přesto, že se s bývalou ombudsmankou Annou Šabatovou na některých tématech neshodl, váží si jí pro celoživotní postoje. Ale výroky jako, že veřejnost je připravena na sňatky osob stejného pohlaví, s tím mají prý málo společného. V rozhovoru pro ParlamentníListy.cz přiznal, že se mu současně nelíbí mediální lynč, který se kolem Válkové rozpoutal. Všechny kroky a konání je podle Křečka třeba posuzovat v kontextu doby, ve které k nim došlo, a neposuzovat to nynějším pohledem.

China’s Birthrate Sank to Lowest Level on Record Last Year

China’s birthrate dropped to the lowest level since at least 1949 last year and the labor force continued to shrink, in the latest sign of slowing growth prospects for the world’s second-largest economy.

The number of births per 1,000 people declined to 10.48, the lowest level on record according to National Bureau of Statistics data going back to when the Communist Party took power. China’s working-age population — those aged 16 to 59 — declined by 890,000, the figures released Friday showed. The number of newborns in 2019 fell to 14.65 million, a decrease of 580,000 from the year before.

China has struggled to arrest the country’s declining birthrate for years, easing its stringent one-child policy in 2013 and allowing each family to have two children in 2016. Still, top leaders have resisted calls to fully lift restrictions on the number of babies each family can have even as the birthrate in 2018 has dropped to lows unseen since the turmoil of Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward.

Bangladesh Says Regularly Submerged Silt Island Now Ready for Rohingya

(DHAKA, Bangladesh) — A Bangladeshi island regularly submerged by monsoon rains is ready to house 100,000 Rohingya refugees, but no date has been announced to relocate people from the crowded and squalid camps where they’ve lived for years, officials said Thursday.

Flood protection embankments, houses, hospitals and mosques have been built on Bhasan Char, or floating island, in the Bay of Bengal, officials said.

“Bhasan Char is ready for habitation. Everything has been put in place,” Bangladesh refugee, relief and repatriation commissioner Mahbub Alam Talukder told The Associated Press.

The island is built to accommodate 100,000 people, just a fraction of the million Rohingya Muslims who have fled waves of violent persecution in their native Myanmar.

About 700,000 people came after August 2017, when the military in Buddhist-majority Myanmar began a harsh crackdown against Rohingya in response to an attack by insurgents. Global rights groups and the U.N. called the campaign ethnic c..

Ukrainian Prime Minister Resigns After Recordings Capture Him Criticizing Zelensky

(KYIV, Ukraine) — Ukraine’s prime minister submitted his resignation Friday, days after he was caught on tape saying the country’s president knows nothing about the economy.

In a Facebook post, Oleksiy Honcharuk said that he had given his resignation to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

“I took this post to implement the president’s program. He is an example of transparency and decency to me,” he said.

“However, in order to dispel any doubts about our respect and trust for the president, I have written a resignation letter and submitted it to the president for introduction to parliament,” Honcharuk’s statement read.

Earlier this week an audio recording surfaced in which Honcharuk appeared to make disparaging comments about Zelenskiy’s understanding of economics. He called Zelenskiy “a layman” in economics and said the president should be better educated about the national currency.

Honcharuk said that the recording was a compilation of “fragments of recorded government meetings” and ..
