Joe Biden “It's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I am working on a deal to end the fighting and build a lasting and durable peace. Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problem. It's about channeling anger, frustration and heartbreak to find a solution. It's about doing what you believe is right, even when it's hard and lonely.” 8 hours ago
Sylvain Ekenge “An attempted coup d'etat has been put down by the defence and security forces. The attempt involved foreigners and Congolese. These foreigners and Congolese have been put out of action, including their leader.” 11 hours ago
Martin Griffiths “When very, very experienced humanitarian aid workers, who have been in all kinds of places around the world for decades, when they go to Gaza - to help, to serve, to work - it is traumatising for them. So, God help what it must be for the people of Gaza. It is really difficult and it's getting worse daily. We meet with Israelis daily through COGAT, the committee set up for this purpose. We have many detailed discussions with them about security, about the movement of our trucks and convoys, about the priorities for fuel, but the fact of the matter is, we are not in a position to provide proper aid to the people of Gaza. Right now, it's not ever been quite as difficult as it is today. Much more can be done and ideally, obviously and hopefully this [Israeli military] operation needs to stop.” 11 hours ago

“The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] should accept responsibility for power outages on May 13 and 17, and July 27. The outages tested the confidence of Taiwanese enterprises and inconvenienced the public. The government's dependence on coal-fired power plants has harmed public health and taken the nation further from the international effort to fight climate change. The government did not improve the economy, livelihoods or environmental sustainability - failures for which any politician except Su [Taiwan Premier - Su Tseng-chang] would have resigned. The public knows how little credibility Su has to cast aspersions.”
