Poland promises to send fighter jets to Ukraine – is the ice finally broken?
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
These warplanes would be the first type of aircraft sent by a NATO country to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion.
Polish President Andrzej Duda’s promise was not exactly what Ukraine would have liked most – it is asking for more advanced F-16 fighter jets from the United States – but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi’s chief of staff still welcomed it as “great news coming soon”.
However, some uncertainty remains.

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
President Alberto Fernández was transferred this Tuesday night to a Buenos Aires hospital due to severe back pain.
The head of state was taken to the Otamendi Sanatorium, located in the Recoleta neighborhood, afflicted with “acute lower back pain”, according to what was indicated by the Presidential Medical Unit.
The president will undergo a series of “studies in order to administer a specific treatment,” the doctors said.
The president’s last health episode had been in November last year in Bali, Indonesia, where he had to be treated for erosive gastritis with signs of bleeding, before which the foreign minister, Santiago Cafiero, was in charge of replacing him at the summit of G20 leaders.
Fernández was then transferred to the Sanglah General Hospital in Bali, accompanied by the Indonesian Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin; Argentine doctor Manuel Estigarribia, from the Presidential Medical Unit; and the General Secretaries of the Presidency, Julio Vitobello; and from Press and Communication, Gabriela Cerruti.
In that care center, they performed blood tests and an endoscopy, which determined the gastritis picture, sources from the Presidency indicated at the time.
Lineker is the hero of a case against the British Prime Minister
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Britain’s Conservative government has reiterated that it is up to the BBC to resolve the standoff with former footballer Gary Lineker, who has had his contract as a presenter canceled on the public broadcaster, following criticizing the executive’s immigration plan on Twitter.
“It is not up to him” to decide whether Lineker breached the station’s impartiality rules, which are somewhat different for news staff and other venues, Economics Secretary Jeremy Hunt said in an interview on Sky News.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that he understood that “not everyone will agree” with his controversial plan to deny asylum to migrants who arrive irregularly in the UK in small boats, but that in this case it was “a matter” of the public channel and its provider.
Labor economics spokeswoman Rachel Reeves told Sky News that Lineker’s temporary sacking was “a disproportionate measure” and accused Conservative MPs and ministers of “pressure” the BBC to force it out.
The former Barcelona player’s comment on his “Match of the Day” football program, which he has been presenting since 1999, sparked a wave of solidarity among his colleagues, which led to changes in all sports programs broadcast by the public channel at the weekend.
BBC Director-General Tim Davie apologized for the turmoil, but ruled out a resignation and hoped he might reach an agreement over the use of social networks that would allow Lineker to return to the position he had previously spoken through on controversial issues in the BBC. United kingdom.
