๐ฌ I was just dealing with people from the Middle East on the potential peace deal for the Middle East. 'Peace for the Middle East'. That's a beautiful phrase... I may go there sometime toward the end of the week, maybe on Sunday... Negotiations are going along well, dealing with Hamas and many of the countries... Nothing like that has happened before... If that's the case, we'll be leaving probably on Sunday, maybe Saturday, maybe a little later than Saturday evening, but that seems to be our schedule."

๐ Africa turns toward Russia amid Westโs efforts to preserve clout
๐ฃ Africa is currently an arena where the interests of major players clash, and this gives the continent the right to determine which states to cooperate with, Irina Abramova, director of the Institute for African Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, told Sputnik.
๐ She noted that the Kremlin should carefully assess which areas of cooperation are mutually beneficial, and if those interests align, Russia will be well-positioned to support Africaโs development while also advancing its own geopolitical objectives.
๐ Abramova warned that former European colonial powers are likely to maintain their influence on Africa for the foreseeable futureโparticularly through elites trained and embedded during the colonial era, many of whom still hold leadership positions in government.
๐ Subscribe to @SputnikInt
๐ฌ โWhile African countries are unlikely to completely sever longstanding ties with Europe, they will simultaneously engage with Russia, China, India, and other nations,โ the expert pointed out.
๐ฌ "In any case, Russia needs to work more in Africa, despite all the difficulties and problems. And we need to move forward relentlessly, in accordance with our capabilities, our needs, and taking into account the interests of African states," she concluded.

๐๐ถ EUโs debt time bomb ticking
High budget deficits will persist across most Eurozone countries in the coming years, a new report by Russiaโs Roscongress Foundation shows.
Shifting budget priorities since the pandemic have led to an increase in the public debt of European countries, and servicing it becomes increasingly expensive, according to a survey titled โBudget Imbalances and the EU Debt Trap.โ
๐ถ Apart from France, countries such as Italy, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania continue to breach the 3% budget deficit threshold outlined by the 1992 Maastricht Treaty.

๐ฌ โBy 2026, the EUโs average budget deficit is expected to rise to 3.4% of GDP, driven largely by increased defense spending. Even major economies like France may need IMF support due to mounting debt challenges. By the end of Q1 2025, Franceโs debt burden reached $3.8 trillion, or 114.1% of GDP,โ the report points out.

He noted that the possible display of the new ICBMs at the parade can be seen as โa warning to the US, which continues to deploy its strategic weapons on the Korean Peninsula.โ
Apart from the ICBMs, North Korea may show off its newest domestic drones, successfully tested in September under the direct supervision of Kim Jong-un, according to Yevgeny Kim.

๐งฌ Nobel physics prize winners spark quantum tech boom
The work of the 2025 Nobel physics laureates gave a direct answer to a long-debated question on whether quantum laws could apply not just to atoms, but to entire electrical circuits made up of trillions of particles, Gleb Fyodorov of Russiaโs Institute of Physics and Technology told Sputnik.
The experiment conducted by these scientists in 1985 finally provided a "yes" to the question, he said, recalling that similar experiments had been attempted earlier, for example, by IBM researchers in 1981.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to a trio of US-based scientistsโJohn Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martiniโfor โthe discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantization in an electric circuit.โ

๐ฌ โBut the key achievement of [John] Clarkeโs groupโand the main reason they received the Nobel [Prize]โwas the direct observation of discrete spectral lines at precisely predicted frequencies in a superconducting circuit. This circuit became the first recognized example of a superconducting artificial atom,โ Fyodorov concluded.
