France's Marine Le Pen Acquitted in Case Over Violating Hate Speech Laws

We are witnessing one of the most dramatic and confusing times in recent history, with the Trump administration seemingly attempting a radical transformation in the US, even as it adopts Netanyahu's foreign policy in the Middle East, seems to be squaring up to challenge China, and is drifting on Russia.

On the topic of Russia, PMI suggests a strong start to the year, though we don't have full statistics for January. Meanwhile despite difficult weather conditions the Russian offensive presses forward, and Zelensky grows ever more eccentric and reckless in what he says.

The EU meanwhile appears clueless and a recent book published in the UK says that Starmer is just a cut out, mocked by his own staff, and is not actually in charge. Reform UK has taken the lead in UK opinion polls, and I am hearing stories about an unreported AfD surge.

So lots to talk about......
