UK kill list

UK special forces in Iraq have reportedly been handed a list of 200 British members of terror groups, most notably Daesh, to kill before they attempt to return to Britain. The British daily The Sunday Times says the commando unit known as SAS has been told to “use whatever means possible” to kill or capture the militants who are seen as a threat to the UK security as they might return any time to the country. “A kill list has been drawn up containing the names of hundreds of very bad people. A lot of them are from the UK. The hunt is now on for those who have effectively gone off-the-grid," the newspaper quoted a senior British military source as saying.

No room for Yankees

Honking their car horns and waving white and blue Nicaraguan flags, supporters of Nicaragua’s president take to the streets to celebrate Daniel Ortega’s landslide victory. According to Nicaragua’s Supreme Electoral Council, the leftist president has secured 72.5 percent of the vote. The United States, however, was quick to question the results of the election. The US government's criticism of the recent election in Nicaragua is deeply rooted in decades of animosity between the two countries. Ortega put an end to years of US-backed insurgency in his country back in the early 1980s.

'Cold peacetime'

A new phase of relations between Russia and the European Union: Kremlin is under attack by EU member states over its alleged interference in EU affairs. Bulgaria’s outgoing president has leveled some serious accusations against Russia. “The game of Mr. Putin is to make other countries dependent," he said. The pro-EU Bulgarian diplomat believes that Moscow is trying to weaken Europe and divide it. Is this going to be the new norm between Russia and the European bloc for the new future?
