The 24,500-square-foot empty parcel is on the sought-after Jumeirah Bay Island, a seahorse-shaped piece of land accessible by bridge from the Dubai mainland. That works out to more than 5,000 di. The runup to the city becoming such a heady real estate market has been fueled by high oil prices, a desire by the world’s rich to park wealth in property and a sense that low-tax, low-crime Dubai is a haven in times of pandemic and war.

"We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor," Fox News also said about Carlson's departure. It is unclear why Carlson is parting ways with the network, but people familiar with the matter told The Los Angeles Times that Fox Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch ordered the host to be fired.

Fox Corporation's stock dropped more than 4% Monday after the announcement.

Five of Sudan’s seven neighbours – Ethiopia, Chad, the Central African Republic, Libya and South Sudan – have faced political upheaval or conflict themselves in recent years. The fighting that erupted between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Saturday in Khartoum has derailed an internationally backed plan for a transition to civilian rule after the 2019 removal of Omar al-Bashir.

The conflict pits General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of Sudan’s ruling council and commander of its army, against the wealthy, one-time militia leader General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti, who is Burhan’s deputy on the council and leader of the irregular RSF forces.

The United States, like other Western powers, was happy to be rid of al-Bashir, who was charged with genocide and war crimes by the International Criminal Court over the Darfur conflict. But critics say Washington was slow to swing behind a transition towards elections. Sudanese hopes for democracy were shattered when al-Burhan and Hemedti staged a coup in 2021. The latest fighting is expected to derail any swift return to civilian rule because neither of the two opponents in Khartoum is showing any readiness for compromise.

Sudan is in a volatile region bordering the Red Sea, the Sahel region and the Horn of Africa. Its strategic location and agricultural wealth have attracted regional power plays, complicating the chances of a successful transition to civilian-led government.

Several of Sudan’s neighbours – including Ethiopia, Chad and South Sudan – have been affected by political upheavals and conflict, and Sudan’s relationship with Ethiopia, in particular, has been strained over issues including disputed farmland along their border. Major geopolitical dimensions are also at play, with Russia, the US, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other powers battling for influence in Sudan.

The side of evil should now be obvious to everyone. The perverts, pedophiles, abortion fanatics, and Chinese communist party officials are all on the same grotesque side. It’s the side of the woke and the queer theorists. It’s the side of the Democrat Party in America and the communist Left all around the world. This is the axis of evil that I call the Rainbow Jihad. The Rainbow Jihad is not trying to purify or improve Christianity. It’s a pagan cult that’s trying to replace the dominant religion of the West. There should be no confusion on that point anymore — least of all from the complacent Christian majority in America whose moral cowardice has led to this crisis in our civilization.

The Nashville killer Audrey Hale was not confused. She knew which side she was fighting for. She murdered Christian children for a reason — the Christians were her enemies. That’s why she left a manifesto rather than a suicide note. The Christian majority in America must come to terms with their adversaries now. There’s a reason that every week there seems to be another iconic brand putting a transvestite or a drag queen in its advertising as if it’s perfectly normal.

There’s a reason that the now famous transvestite Dylan Mulvaney was hosted at the White House by Joe Biden earlier this year. The evil of the Rainbow Jihad starts right at the top in America now. It goes all the way to the White House. The Rainbow Jihad is not an accidental coalition of political groups and cultural forces. There’s a common unity between these people — and the unity is their shared hatred of God. That’s why this evil movement seems to be communist and sexually perverted and Satanic all at the same time.

“I dare you to try and stop me from going into a women’s bathroom. It will be the last mistake you ever make,” he said, issuing a clear threat of violence to anyone who challenges his lifestyle choices. For some reason, this person thinks that the issue of who’s allowed to use certain bathrooms calls for violence. He even states that he is “not afraid to die” for this cause and seemingly all others pertaining to the rights of those in the LGBTQ community.

“This is a call to action and a call to arms to everybody within the United States that are scared, worried, have children that are transgender, lesbian, bi, or gay. This is a call to action. You need to arm up, plain and simple,” said Tara. “Go out, buy a gun, learn how to use it efficiently, through and through. Because, the time to act is now. You need to protect yourself and you need to protect your fellow transgender brothers and sister and theys and thems, you need to protect the rest of us in the LGB community, as I am going to do myself.”

Will the DOJ arrest this trans individual and charge him with a “hate crime”? Will the Southern Poverty Law Center start labeling trans people as a dangerous category that all non-trans individuals should fear? When will this madness of protecting the made-up victim class stop?

A digital euro, if implemented, would fundamentally rejig the way assets and liabilities are managed on the central bank balance sheet with the aim of making payments more inclusive and efficient. But the move brings implications for financial stability and privacy amid limited engagement with ordinary people. The adoption of the euro, by contrast, was preceded by years of often heated, and ultimately healthy, political discussion. Debate surrounding the pros and cons of adopting a central bank digital currency (CBDC) has so far been largely confined to technocratic or academic circles.

In recent months, the opacity and lack of public involvement have been noticed by many on the political fringes. Celebrities like Russell Brand, comedian turned socio-political commentator with millions of followers on YouTube, have increasingly been making CBDCs a focal point of their coverage. In a recent video, Brand argued they pave the way for “globalist decrees coming on down from up high, avoiding democracy." That sort of discourse has convinced central bankers of the public relations challenge ahead of them if they are ever to achieve widespread public acceptance of the idea.

A survey of 2,500 adults in the UK for POLITICO by Redfield & Wilton Strategies in 2021 found only 24 percent believe a digital pound could bring more benefits than harm. The ECB has also found in its own research that payment privacy is a chief concern among eurozone citizens. “The digital euro project may have profound implications for society and the economy," said Spanish Green MEP Ernest Urtasun. "It cannot be left to central banks and private companies."

Disinterest may be growing as the company said new EVs are 37 percent more expensive than petrol and diesel cars and there are now fewer new electric models between in lower prices ranges than there were in 2022. The UK has already announced a 2030 target to ban new petrol and diesel car sales.

Well, how does this story reconcile with that narrative? According to Reuters reporting, the EU is telling all member states they must take massive shipments of grain and excessive grain commodities into their country even if it collapses the market price. Poland and Hungary said they don’t want the excessive harvest outputs; the EU is telling them they must take them.

Funny how that global famine narrative now disappears under the weight of excessive commodity outputs from Ukraine. Farming output going well in Ukraine. Weirdest war outcome ever. Old narrative “Russia is starving the world”… New narrative “Excessive Ukraine harvests must be accepted”… Any questions?

The conflict between General Mohammad Fattah al-Burhan’s Sudanese Armed Forces, or SAF, and General Mohamed Mamdan Dagalo – known as “Hemedti” – and his Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, involves tens of thousands of fighters and has intensified inside the capital Khartoum in recent days, drawing international concern. The rival generals are fighting for control after a military coup deposed the country’s prime minister 18 months ago.

The Biden administration announced Thursday afternoon that the Defense Department will deploy military capabilities to the region – likely at its existing base in Djibouti, at least in part – to prepare to evacuate the US Embassy in Khartoum if violence there escalates, though it did not explicitly state the location of potential operations.

Leading Republicans in Congress expressed concern about the rise in violence and the need for the administration to respond militarily to protect Americans, while also slamming Biden’s contentious history of similar operations – chiefly his catastrophic decision to withdraw fully from Afghanistan. “We cannot afford another botched evacuation,” Senator James Rich of Idaho and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina said in a joint statement moments after the announcement of the military deployment.

Sir Jon Cunliffe said that it will become harder to spend physical money in coming years owing to the rise of online shopping and contactless payments. He added that it is therefore essential for Threadneedle Street to press ahead with developing an electronic version of sterling – the so-called digital pound – which can underpin future confidence in the financial system.

Speaking at the Innovate Finance Global Summit on Monday, Sir Jon said: “Cash is likely to decline further and cash itself will become less useable in everyday transactions, for example if internet commerce grows and if merchants increasingly accept only digital payment.”

The United States as well, is dramatically expanding its military presence in the vicinity of the People’s Republic, amassing its armed forces throughout the first island chain off China’s coast – from Japan via Taiwan to the Philippines – and turning Australia into a sort of rear base of operations for launching eventual attacks on China. Even military bases on small islands in the Pacific are being expanded to secure supplies from the USA for combat in eastern Asia. At the same time, the Bundeswehr is expanding its exercises throughout the entire region.

According to the new strategy Japan needs to develop the capability to carry out “effective counter-strikes against the opponent’s territory.” Japan is thus planning to procure various missiles from abroad or develop them itself. Tokyo wants to improve the radius of its own anti-ship missile and procure American Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of around 1,600 kilometers. The military budget – which, due to self-imposed restrictions initiated in 1976, has remained at one percent of its GDP – will now be increased to two percent.

In 2021, the frigate Bayern visited Palau and Guam, while on its Asia-Pacific cruise. Currently the Bundeswehr is expanding its maneuvers in the Asia-Pacific region. Pertaining to the rapidly escalating conflict between the United States and China, which is becoming increasingly violent, a senior general of the US military recently declared: “My gut tells me will fight in 2025.”
