В Париже собрались мировые лидеры, чтобы отметить 100-летие со дня окончания Первой мировой войны

В Париже, в воскресенье, собрались мировые лидеры, чтобы отметить День перемирия - событие, которому в этом году исполняется ровно сто лет со дня окончания Первой мировой войны.

Первая мировая война или Великая война, как ее иногда называют, продолжалась с 28 июля 1914 года по 11 ноября 1918 года. В боевых действиях принимали участие 70 миллионов военнослужащих, в том числе 60 миллионов европейцев, делая ее одной из крупнейших войн в истории. По некоторым оценкам, в результате войны погибли девять миллионов солдат и семь миллионов гражданских лиц, в то же время одним из факторов повлиявших на эти данные это ряд геноцидов и эпидемия гриппа 1918 года, которая вызвала от 50 до 100 миллионов смертей во всем мире. Военные потери усугублялись новыми технологическими и промышленными разработками и тактическим тупиком, вызванным изнурительной траншейной войной. Это был один из самых смертоносных конфликтов в истории, который привел к крупным политическим переменам, в том числе к революции 1917-1923 годов, во многих вовлеченных в войну странах. Неразрешенное соперничество в конце конфликта способствовало началу Второй мировой войны около двадцати лет спустя.

Среди тех, кто участвует в праздновании во Франции, организованном президентом Франции Эмануэлем Макроном, были лидеры Британии, Германии, России, Турции и Соединенных Штатов. В Париже также присутствуют президент Грузии Георгий Маргвелашвили и премьер-министр Армении Никол Пашинян

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people. "Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
