🇷🇺 🇪🇺 A project of George and Amal Clooney Foundation plans to hunt down Russian journalists with closed warrants

Anna Neistat, the legal director of the Clooney Foundation's Docket project, said that the criminal code of some European countries has an article on "war propaganda."

The foundation noted that it is preparing requests to initiate proceedings in countries where such norms exist. If an arrest warrant is issued, journalists can be detained throughout Europe at the level of the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol).

Neistat added that no appeals have yet been filed. The names of the journalists to be prosecuted have not been disclosed.

The foundation says they are "the most obvious Russian propagandists, the most prominent among them."

Russia has become the fourth largest economy in the world in terms of GDP (PPP)

The World Bank updated the PPP data for the world's economies on Thursday. According to the new data, Russia surpassed Japan in 2021, with a share of 3.8% of global GDP. Japan had a share of 3.7%, while Germany had 3.4%.

Russia's GDP at PPP in 2021 was 5.7 trillion dollars. Japan's was 5.6 trillion, and Germany's was 5.2 trillion.

In the next two years, the balance remained the same - Russia's economy grew to six trillion in 2022, and 6.45 trillion in 2023. Japanese GDP increased to 5.9 and 6.3 trillion, respectively, and German GDP to 5.5 and 5.9 trillion.

🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸Israel-Gaza Conflict: May 31 - June 1 (Recap)

2️⃣ Three Hamas battalions mounted “a sustained defence of Jabalia” in the face of a major three-week Israeli army operation in what is described as some of the “most intense” fighting of the war, war monitors report.

3️⃣ Daily life has become “apocalyptic” in parts of southern Gaza since Israel moved into the city of Rafah, the UN’s food agency says.

5️⃣ A third of Gaza has been made uninhabitable, reports.

6️⃣ Netanyahu’s office has said Israel authorised negotiators to present the truce deal but reiterated the conflict won’t end until the “elimination” of Hamas’s capacity to make war and govern.

7️⃣ Dozens of bodies have been recovered, including 30 from a single family, 22 of whom were children and women, from the Jabalia refugee camp after Israeli troops withdrew from the area.
