President Assad quietly takes charge of the Arab League Summit

Arabic channels highlight the re-entry of Syria to the AL Club.

The weekly news round-up at UK Column. Below are the topics I covered:

1. Syria back at the Arab League Summit - President Assad speech.

Full speech with English subtitles:

2. The monstrous US Embassy in Beirut - 43 acres of prime land overlooking Beirut in a country where 80% of the 6 million population can’t afford to eat. This project was budgeted to need $ 1 billion in 2015 and will far exceed this expectation. This is not about diplomacy, it is a military, intelligence complex bordering Syria.

3. Secret talks between US and Damascus to ascertain whereabouts of so-called US journalist Austin Tice allegedly kidnapped in Darayya (south of Damascus) in 2014. Journalist or high level CIA operative? FBI offered $1 million reward for information in 2018.

4. Turkish elections - is the West preparing for an Erdogan victory in the second round on May 28th?

5. ‘How death outlives war’ - the reverberating impact of the post 9/11 wars on human health. Latest report from the Watson Institute.

6. I comment on the latest UK regime propaganda about “Muslims” in Crimea.
