As part of a bilateral agreement, several shipments have made their way to the South American country since the end of March.

A total of 69 tons of medicines and health supplies sent from the People's Republic of China arrived Monday in Venezuela, adding up to the previous 200 tons that have been sent in the past.

The first similar shipment the Bolivarian Republic received from China, sent on March 29, consisting of 65 tons of medicine - while this delivery was mislabeled as 'military' support to the Government of the Bolivarian Republic. On May 13 and 16, respectively 71 and 64 more tons were sent.

"Obstinate, deaf and contemptuous": Macron failed 'personally' in EU election - Official

The second place of the alliance backing French President Emmanuel Macron in the European Parliament election is a "personal defeat" for the French leader, Thierry Mariani, the number three on the list of the winning National Rally (RN), told Sputnik.

"During three months the government has used all the administrative resources to win this election ... We are very satisfied with the result that puts us on top. And even if the gap is small, it's a personal defeat for the president who engaged completely in this election", Mariani said.

Mariani stressed that a president who got so invested in the election campaign but failed to come first should "drive conclusions by either stepping down... or by organizing another legislative election, or at least by changing his politics."

Serbian troops on high alert after Kosovo's forces raid Serb-populated regions

Serbia ordered its troops to full alert on May 28 after heavily armed Kosovo police had entered Serb-populated regions of the former Serbian province and made several arrests in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija (northern Kosovo).

Serbia's state TV reported that shots were heard and tear gas was used as Kosovo's special police "burst into" one of the villages with armored vehicles early in the morning. The Kosovo force involved in the tension reportedly includes at least 73 vehicles.

The region involved in the tensions is located on the contact line between the area controlled by Serbia and Kosovo forces. It is 90 percent populated by Serbs, who refuse to be part of the self-proclamed Republic of Kosovo.

The municipality of Zubin Potok is reportedly one of the places of tensions. Locals are reportedly building a kind of barricades to prevent Kosovo forces vehicles from moving through the area.

Comment: Al Jazeera reports:

President Hashim Thaci called on the ethnic Serb minority to remain calm and support the police, saying the fight against organised crime would speed up the country's process towards integration with the West.

"Those involved in illegal activities will go behind bars," he wrote on his Facebook page, adding that the police operation was not targeting ethnicities.

Kosovo authorities said at least two policemen were injured during the action.

Serbian government official Marko Djuric said the Kosovo police action is designed to intimidate and expel Serbs from Kosovo and presents "not only a threat to stability but the most direct threat to peace".

Any Serbian armed incursion in Kosovo would mean a direct clash with NATO peacekeepers there.

State TV also reported that a meeting of the country's top security body is under way following the tensions. The report said Vucic will speak in parliament later on Tuesday about the developments.

Serbia lost control over Kosovo after a NATO intervention in 1999 that stopped a bloody Serb crackdown against Kosovo Albanian separatists and civilians.

Serbia does not recognise Kosovo's 2008 declaration of independence.

On Monday, Vucic warned of renewed clashes in Kosovo if a negotiated "compromise" solution for Serbia's predominantly ethnic Albanian former province is not found soon.

This picture, provided by Syria’s official news agency SANA, shows medical equipment recovered from a field hospital belonging to the so-called civil defense group White Helmets, which Syrian government forces discovered in the town of Qal'at al-Madiq, western Syria, on May 27, 2019.

Damascus and Moscow have repeatedly accused the White Helmets, a self-styled humanitarian rescue group, of staging several provocations involving chemical weapons to justify potential foreign interventions and the presence of foreign forces in Syria.

The Syrian Army has found medical equipment supplies, some of them German-made, in a field hospital thought to belong to the White Helmets, SANA reports.

The Syrian news agency cited unnamed local sources as saying that the discovery was made in the western Hama province town of Qal'at al-Madiq earlier on Monday.

Comment: Throughout the Western-led war on Syria evidence has emerged repeatedly that an inexcusable quantity of weapons and medical supplies used by the terrorists have come from sources in the West and Israel:

Chinese President Xi Jinping (L) is shown around the offices of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd by Ren Zhengfei, president of Huawei, in London, Britain October 21, 2015

Huawei's founder has said that US President Donald Trump's crackdown on the Chinese telecom giant is due to it being more advanced than its competitors, adding that he would not welcome a tit-for-tat against Apple.

Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of Huawei, told Bloomberg in an interview on Sunday that he would be strongly opposed to targeting Apple in retaliation against Washington's onslaught on his own company, despite Apple being Huawei's main competitor in the smartphone market.

"Apple is my teacher, it advanced in front of us. As a student, why should I oppose my teacher? I would never do it," Ren said, adding that he doubts that Beijing would drag the US company into the ongoing trade row.

Russia & China are beating US in the 'nuclear race'

While nuclear power plants in the US are retiring as they face stiff cost competition from cheap and abundant natural gas, America has also been struggling to keep its leadership on the global nuclear power market.

The United States must protect its longstanding leadership on nuclear energy globally, Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) wrote in an op-ed to CNBC.

The US lawmakers believe that reviving nuclear energy in the US and developing new and advanced reactors will raise the share of clean energy generation in America on the one hand, and reestablish US leadership on the global market, on the other.

Journalist at Israel's Haaretz newspaper, Gideon Levy poses in his home on 12 August, 2014 in the coastal Israeli city of Tel Aviv

The voice is clear, a slight Hebrew accent can be detected when Gideon Levy speaks English. He is precise and concise, showing off maybe some "chutzpah", but his way of saying things is direct. Does this make Gideon Levy annoying? Certainly not. On the contrary, kindly and patiently he explains what is at stake here.

Some call Gideon Levy Israel's conscience, others would rather insult him. Levy is a whistleblower. He would probably hate to be described as such. He is a journalist, and now a columnist at Israeli English daily Haaretz. He is also a board member there. Every week, his columns contradict the nationalist and religious ideology of those in power.

AG Barr will 'consult' with intelligence over 'Russiagate' declassifications prompting MSM panic attack

Mon, 27 May 2019 20:46 UTC

US Attorney General William Barr is expected to seek advice from the intelligence community on how best to declassify data regarding what prompted the Russiagate probe - a prospect that has caused some panic among its proponents.

The attorney general will "do everything" to protect sensitive intelligence data and would thus take suggestions from US intelligence officials as he plans to go on with the investigation of "corruption at the FBI and the DOJ," White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, told NBC's Meet the Press.

"We expect that the attorney general will consult with them on matters that he needs that guidance and advice from them," she said. "Certainly they work in lock step on a number of things. I don't see this to be any different."

Farage's Emphatic Victory in European Election Spells Doom For Both Tories And Corbyn

Desperate spin notwithstanding, the tsunami created by Nigel Farage's six-week old Brexit Party may sweep away centuries-old parties which may now begin to split into their constituent parts.

But first a word about Farage. As a populist politician he is perfectly evolved. Cheerful, possessed of only the ordinary vices, personable, a communicator of genius. He is neither a philosopher nor an ideologue but gripped by one iron-clad obsession - British withdrawal from the European Union.

Single-mindedly pursued for a quarter of a century, this obsession has changed the course of history in a way not matched since Mr Churchill in the summer of 1940, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair not excepted.

I have privately criticized him for prematurely departing the stage when Brexit was won after the 2016 referendum - but in fact his timing has been perfect. He gave the ruling elites, conspiring to wreck Brexit and defy the voters, just enough rope. And now they have hanged themselves.

Austrian Chancellor Kurz loses no-confidence vote Amid Video Scandal

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz attends a session of the Parliament in Vienna, Austria May 27, 2019

Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen will now have to appoint a chancellor able to gain parliament's support until the next general election.

Austrian lawmakers from the Social Democrats and the right-wing Freedom Party have passed a motion of no confidence in the government of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, while Kurz's Austrian People's Party (OVP) and liberal NEOS party voted against the motion.

"The National Assembly has withdrawn its confidence from the entire government for the first time in the Second Republic", the parliament's Twitter account read.

Comment: Lending credence to the possibility of a set-up to damage Kurz politically, SOTT political analyst Niall Bradley comments:

In the context of what has been taking place in Vienna over the last 10 days, Austria's result was bizarre: Chancellor Kurz's conservatives came first, and Vice-Chancellor Strache's Freedom Party third, as they did in Austria's national election in 2017 - but both men have in the meantime been booted out of government following a highly suspicious 'scandal'. Outgoing EU European Commission president Juncker might say that this is no less than "stupid nationalists in love with their countries" deserve.

And why did he need to be gotten rid of?
