The British Government wants New House of Commons to Vote on Brexit on Friday

On Friday, the British government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson will present the Brexit agreement negotiated with the European Union to the new parliament.   Possibly it will be voted on the same day in the Lower House. Besides, Johnson wants to introduce legislation that makes it impossible to extend the transition period between the Brexit date and the actual separation of the United Kingdom and the EU. The UK and the EU have to reach a new trade agreement in that short period of eleven months, an almost impossible task. Today the British House of Commons and its new members resume work after last week's elections. The 650 MPs - including 365 Torys from the Boris Johnson Conservative party - reconfirmed Lindsay Hoyle as chairman. The new legislature will resume on Thursday. T...

Hong Kong Violence Breaks Out again in Shopping Centres

After three weeks of shelter, protests in Hong Kong have once again collided between protesters and riot police. The new protests were held in and around shopping centres.   This time the protests took place mainly around shopping centres, which are already visited during this period in the run-up to Christmas. Black-clad and masked activists gathered in different shopping malls, calling for slogans for more democracy and freedom. They barred access to stores.   In some places, the protest led to vandalism. Some branches of a restaurant chain were destroyed. The chain became the target of protest after the owner's daughter had criticised the protest movement in Hong Kong. The riot police used tear gas and pepper spray. Under the cheers of passers-by, she made a few arrests ...

US Test Rocket again from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California

The US has conducted another rocket test. The projectile was fired Thursday from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the US Department of Defense confirmed.   The test feeds the fear that a new arms race between the great powers America and Russia will start. Washington cancelled the INF treaty at the beginning of August in which a ban on testing with (nuclear) medium-range missiles with a range between 500 and 5500 kilometres was agreed. That agreement was signed in 1987 by American and Soviet leaders Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev. According to the US, Russia had not complied with that prohibition for some time by testing with the SSC-8 system with projectiles that could travel more than 2000 kilometres. It was the second time since the treaty was cancelled that t...

Drug Deaths Soar to the Highest Level on Record in America

Drug Deaths Soar to the Highest Level on Record in America. In 2018 alone, 72,000 Americans died after an overdose of drugs — a record year.   The situation is so difficult that the life expectancy of the Americans has fallen two years in succession. Our correspondent in the US Björn Soenens and video journalist Daan Wallis made this documentary about the drug crisis.

Why is the Protest Escalating in Hong Kong and China Preparing for a Raid?

Why is the Protest Escalating in Hong Kong and China Preparing for a Raid? The protest in Hong Kong is becoming increasingly grim, although the controversial extradition law to China was already put in the fridge last month.   Today the demonstrators succeeded in paralyzing the busy Hong Kong international airport. But what do they want? And how long will Beijing continue to watch from the sidelines? The unrest in Hong Kong began on 9 June with the first mass demonstration against a controversial extradition law. That would make it possible to extradite suspects from Hong Kong to China, where the Communist Party controls the court. Hong Kong has been part of China again since 1997 but still has its legal system. Hundreds of thousands of people came to the streets, many young peopl...
