Was Navalny about to be released just before his death?

Members of the entourage of the late Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny shared that talks were underway for his release in a prisoner swap before his untimely death.

On February 16, Kremlin opponent Alexey Navalny died in an Arctic penal colony, where he was serving a 19-year sentence on charges widely regarded as political.

A Navalny ally reveals that exchange talks were in the final stages. According to sources, Navalny and two US nationals detained in Russia were being considered in this proposed exchange.

This statement raises questions about the presumed composition of the list, given the incarceration of several Americans in Russia under contentious circumstances. It is plausible to consider the presence of Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, accused of espionage, and Michigan security official Paul Whelan, also convicted of espionage.

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his willingness to negotiate, without mentioning any specific names, but apparently alluding to a Russian national detained in Germany and sentenced to life imprisonment since 2019.

No concrete evidence was provided to back up these claims. German authorities have refused to divulge any information about the Russian prisoner held and any possible exchange talks.

Don Lemon gets $24.5M from CNN and will be back… on X

Following his departure from CNN the previous year, Don Lemon is said to have reached a significant agreement with the network. According to TheWrap and Page Six, he would be entitled to $24.5 million, equivalent to his salary for the remaining three and a half years of his contract.

https://twitter.com/PageSix/status/1762446718979695047

Don Lemon’s career at CNN came to an end after controversial comments about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, resulting in the termination of his long association with the network.

Despite his journalistic experience, Lemon made a controversial on-air remark suggesting that Nikki Haley, at 51, was no longer in her prime. The statement drew criticism, forcing Lemon to issue a public apology.

The incident proved decisive, leading to Lemon’s departure from the news channel. Her words also received considerable media coverage. This incident was not the first to create controversy within the CNN team, according to several sources.

Although TheWrap corroborated the settlement figures, CNN publicly disputed them. A CNN spokesperson said the network does not comment on the contractual details of its employees, but said the amount put forward was inaccurate.

Don Lemon’s relationship with CNN ended during a turbulent period for the network, notably with the departure of then CEO Chris Licht. Don was shocked that CNN management did not inform him directly of his dismissal.

Don Lemon is reportedly preparing to make a comeback with his new project, The Don Lemon Show, soon to be launched on Elon Musk’s… X platform! Lemon described the upcoming program as “bigger, bolder and freer”.

He also praised Elon Musk’s X platform as a frontier of free expression.

So he joins Tucker Carlson in this bold direction, to say the least…

Lemon’s fans will be watching closely to see how the show unfolds on Platform X and whether it marks a shift in influence for the journalist whose media voice has been a mainstay for over a decade.

American soldier sets himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy

Aaron Bushnell, from San Antonio, Texas, set himself on fire in a tragic act on Sunday to protest what he calls complicity with genocide. The dramatic event took place in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington.

Police and Secret Service agents intervened at around 1pm to deal with the incident. Witnesses and video footage of the scene claim that Bushnell, dressed in uniform, could be heard shouting “Free Palestine”. Despite the swift intervention of the police, the young airman later died from severe burns.

The Associated Press reported that police sources said Bushnell placed his phone on the ground before turning on his own device to broadcast his message live on Twitch, where he declared, “I will not be complicit in genocide.”

According to an Israeli spokesperson, the embassy was unaware of the aviator’s existence before his death. That said, the protests coincide with Israel’s greatly intensified offensive against Gaza, which has prompted international condemnation and debate over allegations of genocide.

A similar incident of self-immolation occurred in Atlanta a month earlier, when a protester set himself on fire outside the Israeli consulate. Both the protester and a security guard suffered burns during the demonstration.

As the investigation into Aaron Bushnell’s latest act continues, there is much discussion about the need for dialogue to resolve what is now a long-running and highly controversial geopolitical conflict.

Donald Trump wants to deport Prince Harry

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, in a number of headline-grabbing statements recently, has expressed his vehement dislike of Prince Harry and his status… as an immigrant.

He has also declared that, if elected again in 2024, he would take no protective measures towards the Duke of Sussex, whom he would like to see deported as quickly as possible.

During his speech at the CPAC Republican convention in Oxon Hills, Maryland, Trump sharply criticized the Biden administration for its treatment of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle since their move to California in 2020. He described what he considers Prince Harry’s betrayal of Queen Elizabeth II as unforgivable , and suggested that the latter had received excessive courtesy from the US.

Trump’s comments come at a time when Prince Harry’s immigration status is under increasing scrutiny following his confession in his book Spare about his past drug use.

Getty Images

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, questioned the legality of Harry’s admission to the U.S. based on current immigration laws. Members of the Department of Homeland Security contradicted this, saying that not all statements in the books are considered fact or sworn evidence.

Simply put, Harry could not be denied access to America because of something in his book.

Getty Images

Trump’s comments aren’t limited to Prince Harry, however… he’s also targeted his wife Meghan Markle in several of his interviews and speeches.

Meghan and Harry must not feel too out of place to be publicly attacked in this way, as they’re used to it in England!

Navalny: Joe Biden imposes major sanctions on Russia

The Biden administration has announced a long list of sanctions against over 500 Russian targets. This is a major escalation in its campaign to counter Russia’s actions, a response to the death of Russian political opposition leader Alexey Navalny, as well as continued military aggression against Ukraine.

These sanctions are the largest taken in a single day since the start of the conflict.

https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1761034993130737667

Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny died in Russian custody in circumstances that have been condemned internationally.

The latest sanctions are also likely to be far-reaching, targeting those involved in Navalny’s conviction, Russia’s financial sector and defense industry. They could even affect entities working against the sanctions. The United States is working to limit the Kremlin’s sources of revenue and weaken its ability to arm its military.

The sanctions are not limited to Russian actors. They also affect third-party entities in countries such as China, Serbia and the United Arab Emirates, which have supplied Russia with materials essential to its war effort. The US Treasury and State Departments have announced a series of trade restrictions. The Commerce Department has imposed additional restrictions on more than 90 entities.

Getty Images

Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has boasted of his country’s resistance to such sanctions, although they have been imposed in the past. U.S. officials recognize the need to adjust their sanctions strategy in order to continue putting pressure on the Russian economy. Treasury officials stress the importance of preventing Russia from accessing critical supply chains for its military production.

While world powers are still discussing the implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Navalny’s death, the EU and UK are also expected to announce sanctions packages to align with US policies.

A first American moon landing in almost 50 years!

Intuitive Machines has achieved a historic feat by successfully landing its Odysseus robotic spacecraft near the Moon’s South Pole. This is the first company to land on the lunar surface and the first American landing in almost 50 years.

Odysseus, mounted on a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle, was launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The robot lander sailed into the deepest parts of space and landed on the moon’s surface at 6:23 pm on Thursday evening.

Getty Images

Odysseus, named after Homer’s Greek hero The Odyssey, landed in the Malapert A crater at the Moon’s south pole. This landing site was not chosen at random, as the area is of scientific interest for its potential to host future human exploration.

NASA has invested $118 million in this historic mission. The instruments will collect valuable data on the Moon’s dust behavior, its terrain and many other areas, and this harvest could help future missions.

Getty Images

This mission is a testament to the capabilities and potential of Intuitive Machines, but it also marks a new stage in partnerships between public and private space agencies. NASA, as Odysseus’ main customer, is delighted with this milestone and looks forward to the many scientific benefits the mission should bring.

In January of this year, Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic failed in its attempt to land an automated spacecraft on the Moon. This failure highlighted the risks and complexities of lunar exploration, despite past successes.

The previous failure makes Intuitive Machines’ success all the more impressive.

Getty Images

Intuitive’s successful soft landing of Odysseus is a key moment in the history of space exploration. It demonstrates a growing commitment to lunar exploration and innovative collaborations that could overcome the obstacles to deep space travel!
