One of the German diplomats who snickered when then-President Donald Trump said Germany would “become totally dependent on Russian energy” didn’t respond to a question on whether his views have changed as rising energy costs amidst the war in Ukraine seem to prove Trump right. Trump made the remarks during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in Sept. 2018. Trump said during the same speech: “Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation.” At the time, Germany and the United States disagreed strongly about the construction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline…

An FBI official who has been accused of blocking an investigation into President Joe Biden’s son stepped down this month, lawyers representing the official confirmed to The Epoch Times on Aug. 31. Timothy Thibault “voluntarily retired” and “was not fired, not forced to retire, and not asked to retire,” lawyers with Morrison & Foerster LLP said in an emailed statement. Thibault, an assistant special agent in charge at the FBI’s Washington Field Office, was “escorted” out of the office on Aug. 26, the Washington Times reported. Thibault was “walked out of the FBI,” CBS reported. Both outlets cited anonymous officials. Thibault turned in his security…

The federal authorities had staged a “photo op” with the newly disclosed photograph showing documents with classified markings at former President Donald Trump’s Florida resort, alleged ex-White House aide Kash Patel. The image, captured on Aug. 8 during the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, showed six documents labeled as “top secret” and several marked as “secret” spread across the carpet in Trump’s home. “Certain of the documents had colored cover sheets indicating their classification status,” said lawyers for the Justice Department (DOJ) in a brief filed on Aug. 30, in which they urged against granting Trump’s motion for a special master; a neutral outsider who would…

BRUSSELS—Amazon and Alphabet unit Google criticized Microsoft’s cloud computing changes on Tuesday, saying they limit competition and discourage customers from switching to rival cloud service providers. The U.S. software giant on Monday announced amended licensing deals and other changes that will take effect on Oct. 1 and which they say will make it easier for cloud service providers to compete. Amazon, Google, Alibaba, and Microsoft’s own cloud services will be excluded from the deals. Microsoft’s move came after smaller European Union competitors took their grievances about its cloud service practices to EU antitrust regulators, which subsequently quizzed market players on the…

Jürgen Klopp described Liverpool’s 98th‑minute winner against Newcastle as “the perfect response” to the time-wasting at Anfield after Fabio Carvalho’s late strike sparked a furious confrontation between the opposition benches. Liverpool overturned Alexander Isak’s debut goal for Newcastle through Roberto Firmino and the substitute Carvalho, who scored in the third minute of time added on to five minutes of stoppage time. The additional time was added after treatment to the Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope and time-wasting by Joelinton, leaving Klopp to rejoice in the timing of a dramatic victory. “I enjoyed the win but we should have played more football,”…

The UK’s official public inquiry into Covid-19 will begin scrutinising how Boris Johnson and his government handled the pandemic, it has been announced. The delayed investigation has been broken into modules, with teams investigating and commissioning research on different issues. The second module will have a particular focus on early 2020 and the decisions taken by Johnson and the cabinet, as well as decisions taken in the devolved institutions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. “My team and I will establish what was understood about Covid-19 at the time, what information was available in each of the four UK nations and how…

The Liberal Democrats are scrambling to select a candidate for Tory MP Michael Gove’s seat in Surrey amid speculation that the senior figure is considering stepping down from parliament. Sir Ed Davey’s party has set a selection deadline of this week in the “blue wall” south-east constituency of Surrey Heath in preparation for the former minister’s possible departure. A Lib Dem source told The Independent that several local party figures had heard Gove could be ready to quit if his rival Liz Truss becomes leader and his favoured candidate Rishi Sunak misses out. But a Tory source denied that Mr Gove was mulling a departure from the Commons –…

As the second half leaked away and Chelsea haplessly chased a late equalising goal, Thomas Tuchel started pulling the levers. On came Christian Pulisic, then Armando Broja. Raheem Sterling continued to plug away on the left, Hakim Ziyech on the right, Mason Mount in the centre. Kai Havertz and Ruben Loftus-Cheek had already made way. Still there are those in the Chelsea hierarchy who reckon that somehow the solution to their current incontinence is a lack of attackers. There were plenty of excuses for Chelsea to grasp at. There always are, if you want to find them. The absences of Reece James…

Russia halted gas supplies via a major pipeline to Europe on Wednesday, citing a need for maintenance on its only remaining compressor. The outage on Nord Stream 1 meant no gas would flow to Germany until 3 September, said Gazprom, the Russian state energy company. The Nord Stream 1 operator’s website showed zero flow in the pipeline. Unlike July’s 10-day maintenance of Nord Stream 1, the upcoming work was announced less than two weeks in advance and is being carried out by Gazprom, not Nord Stream AG, focusing on the last operating turbine at the station. Moscow, which slashed supply via Nord Stream 1 to…

After the death of her husband at the hand of what she believes to be hospital COVID-19 treatment protocols, Joanne Eyerly’s life was uprooted in grief and confusion. She had to sell most of her belongings and their home in Oregon to move to Ohio, where today she scrambles to put the pieces together. Of one thing Eyerly said she is certain: “They euthanized him,” she told The Epoch Times. “I know that they did.” Greg Eyerly was admitted to the hospital on Sept. 22, 2021. Eyerly was not allowed to stay with her husband, so she stayed in communication through text.…
