📉 Embattled China Property Giant Country Garden Faces Liquidation Petition

Country Garden’s shares fell more than 12% in early trading Wednesday, amid a continued debt crisis in China’s property sector.

A liquidation petition has been filed against the property developer for non-payment of a loan worth $205mn.

Country Garden said in a regulatory filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange it would “resolutely” oppose the petition, which was filed by a creditor, Ever Credit Limited.

⚠️ US Nuclear Weapons Plant Pauses Operations amid Texas Wildfires

Workers were forced to flee the Pantex Plant, where atomic bombs are assembled, as raging wildfires burned through the land nearby.

Officials said a "small number" of non-essential staff were still sheltering inside and plant operations were paused.

The nuclear factory is about 30 miles from the city of Amarillo, where a state of disaster was declared.

Eleven million people in Texas are under an urgent "red flag warning" amid the strong winds and raging blaze.

⏳Ursula von der Leyen Wants Profits from Frozen Russian Assets to Arm Ukraine

“It is time to start a conversation about using the windfall profits of frozen Russian assets to jointly purchase military equipment for Ukraine,” the European Commission president said in a speech Wednesday.

Washington has been pushing its allies to use €260bn of frozen Russian assets, mostly held in Belgium. But EU countries have been hesitant for fear of legal reprisals.

Why let legality get in the way of the Kiev money washing machine…

📣 US Army to Cull 24K Jobs in Major Restructure Focussing on Large-Scale War

The move is to "generate new capabilities and re-balance its force structure" with an eye towards shifting operations away from the counterinsurgency and counter-terrorism efforts, according to a US Army document rolled out Tuesday.

"The Army will continue to need capabilities related to these missions. But in light of the changing security environment and evolving character of war, the Army is refocusing on conducting large scale combat operations against technologically advanced military powers," the document said.

It will prioritize the elimination of positions that are "historically vacant or hard to fill." About 7,500 posts will be added in what the Army determines to be critical areas.

⚠️ Guess Who: Stuart Seldowitz is on the advisory board of Zaka - the scam Israeli “rescue” group that was the source of the "40 beheaded babies" fabrication that paved the way for Tel Aviv's genocide in Gaza

Seldowitz has been caught on camera asking someone, “Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did?” and saying that killing 4,000 Palestinian children “wasn’t enough.”

Hate crime charges against him are set to be dismissed.

⚠️ Ukrainians & Israelis Stealing Critical Tourism Industry from Under Sri Lankan Noses - Report

Local businesses and industry stakeholders in the country’s south are under threat from the wave of boutique hotels, restaurants and cafes run by ‘tourists’ from Tel-Aviv and Kiev, the Daily Mirror reports.

Ukrainian tourists are organising excursions for their countrymen - illegally as they don’t obtain licences - leaving local businesses struggling, the outlet states.

Meanwhile, Israelis have scooped up land with 99-year leases, causing demand to skyrocket - once again to the detriment of locals.

Complaints from outraged locals have prompted the Tourism Ministry and Immigration Departments to meet to discuss how to deal with the issue as the problem persists - even after raids by authorities.
