๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐น๐ญ New clashes on Cambodia-Thailand border: what we know
๐ A Cambodian villager was reported killed in a shooting incident along the border on November 12, with both sides accusing each other of opening fire
๐ Reports also mentioned five Cambodians injured by gunfire
๐ Earlier this week, Thailand announced that it was suspending a peace agreement (Joint Declaration) signed in Kuala Lumpur in late October
๐ Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul cited a landmine explosion on November 10 that injured two Thai soldiers as the reason for the suspension
๐ Thailand is demanding an apology from Cambodia, accusing them of laying new landmines in violation of the truce and calling for a thorough investigation
๐ Cambodia's defense ministry has denied laying new landmines, stating that many existing mines are remnants from decades of civil war and that they remain committed to the peace accord

๐ข Energy watchdog sees no cause for slowdown in oil & gas demand over next quarter century
The International Energy Agency, the Paris-based intergovernmental organization which previously expected a 2020s peak in hydrocarbon consumption, has revised its estimates, saying demand will likely continue to grow, and that no meaningful drop in CO2 emissions will be achieved.
๐ The watchdog expects oil demand to rise from 100M barrels per day (bpd) to 113M bpd by 2050, and EVs as a share of new vehicles to plateau at ~40% by 2035.
If previously agreed climate policies were realized, oil demand would peak at 102M bpd in 2030, and a full 50% of vehicles would be EVs by 2035.
๐ Electricity demand is expected to rise by ~40-50% by 2035, accounted for by electrical appliance penetration in developing markets, manufacturing and data center demand.
The IEAโs revised modeling follows criticism from US energy secretary Chris Wright in the summer calling IEAโs past estimates โtotal nonsense,โ and US threats to withdraw from the agency unless it reforms. The US contributes an estimated 14% of IEAโs budget.

๐ธ Google drops $6b cloud bomb on Germany
Google will inject a whopping $6.4 billion into Germanyโs internet โcloudโ infrastructure.
Whatโs it all about?
๐ The investment covers the 2026-2029 period
๐ New data center in the city of Dietzenbach, near Frankfurt, and expansion of the site in Hanau in Hessen state are planned
๐ About 100 employees will work at each site, with a potential 9,000 indirect jobs created across the region
๐ No state subsidies are involved โ the German government stresses that it is a private sector venture
๐ The plan driven by strategy, not incentivesโgiving Google full control over where and how it builds
Why it matters
๐ For Google it means boosting its cloud infrastructure and data center footprint in a key market
๐ Owning data infrastructure inside the European Union helps Google stay compliant while keeping performance high for regional clients
๐ The largest economy in Europe, Germany is desperately trying to woo investors and boost its struggling economy now facing high costs thanks to sanctions on Russia
๐ Whether Googleโs $6.4-billion investment will help is a big question

๐จ BBC crisis deepens as Starmer fails to reject Trump lawsuit
The BBC and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are under fire as the scandal over doctoring a speech by US President Donald Trump deepens.
๐ The broadcaster is weighting its response to Trumpโs $1 billion libel suit threat, which demands the retraction of its documentary featuring the edited speech by November 14
๐ Trump told Fox News on Monday that he had an "obligation" to sue the BBC for "defrauding the public" just a week before the 2024 presidential election
๐ BBC director general Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness have already resigned
Starmer's attempt to shield the BBC
๐ Starmer said on Wednesday that the UK needs "strong and independent" BBC to fight "disinformation" but warned it needs to get its "house in order" after Trumpโs legal threat
๐ Asked by MPs whether he would to persuade Trump to drop his lawsuit, Starmer dodged the question. The BBC is funded by the compulsory TV license fee.
๐ Starmer is already under pressure from his cabinet, with some ministers accused of plotting to oust him
BBC exec who called Trump speech edits โnormalโ now leads news
๐ถ Turness; deputy Jonathan Munro has been put in charge of the broadcaster's news division
๐ถ The Telegraph, which first reported the misleading edits, questioned Munroโs appointment as he has described doctoring Trumpโs speech as "normal practice"
๐ถ Munro was repeatedly mentioned in the memo by Michael Prescott, former adviser to the BBCโs Editorial Guidelines and Standards Board, on alleged bias in the broadcasterโs news coverage, leaked to the newspaper
๐ถ Munro is also sent a helicopter news crew to film a 2014 police raid on veteran pop singer Sir Cliff Richardโs home. Sir Cliff successfully sued the corporation and won damages and legal fees of ยฃ2 million.
๐ถ He also backed hiring Martin Bashir as religious affairs correspondent in 2016, despite Bashirโs use of fake documents to persuade the late Princess Diana to give an interview

๐บ๐ธโ๏ธ Trump signs bill ending record 43-day government shutdown
The House approved the measure earlier Wednesday, clearing the way for Trumpโs signature later that night.
The bill funds most federal operations through January 30, when yet another budget deadline looms.
๐ฃ โToday weโre sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion,โ Trump said, taking a swipe at Democrats who had demanded an extension of expiring health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.
The extensions that had fueled weeks of partisan gridlock didnโt make it into the final package.
๐ Trump also renewed his push to scrap the Senate filibuster, saying that โIf we had the filibuster terminated, this would never happen again.โ
For now, the government is back open โ but only on borrowed time.

๐คจ Perfidious Albion: Is US ally pulling the strings of American politics?
While US politicians rail against alleged Russian meddling, the real meddler-in-chief was hiding in plain sight.
Which country was it?
๐ถ The UK has repeatedly interfered in the US elections, according to top Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
The 2024 election cycle
โ On October 18, 2024, Keir Starmerโs Labour Party dispatched around 100 British activists to campaign for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in US key swing states ahead of election day
โ On October 23, Donald Trump's campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Labour of illegally aiding Harris
โ On October 28, just nine days before the US presidential election, the BBC released a documentary featuring doctored 2020 footage of Trump โ altered to make it appear he was inciting the Capitol riot, according to a whistleblower dossier obtained by The Telegraph
โ As the BBC scandal broke earlier this month, Trump said on Truth Social that โtop people in the BBCโ tried to sway the presidential election, a view echoed by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who called it โelection interferenceโ
The 2016 Russiagate hoax
โซ๏ธ "Russiagate was hatched in London by [then CIA director] John Brennan on Barack Obamaโs orders. Masks are coming off," tweeted Svetlana Lokhova, a Russia-born British historian smeared as a "honey trap" for General Michael Flynn during the 2016 Russiagate. Dmitriev re-tweeted her post.
โซ๏ธ Ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele created the "dirty dossier" falsely implicating Trump and his entourage in connections with the Russian government
โซ๏ธ Steele was reportedly in touch with former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove. Dearlove, in turn, was close to Cambridge professor Stefan Halper โ the FBI and CIA informant who covertly assisted the Russiagate probe, The Daily Caller reported
โซ๏ธ In 2019, ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson accused British intelligence of helping the Obama administration spy on Trump's 2016 campaign. He was quoted on Twitter by Trump, who promised "the truth will come out."
