On Mar. 7, the Royal Navy also began the deployment of a Merlin HM2 equipped with the Crowsnest Airborne Surveillance and Control (ASaC) radar system – seen in pictures in the folded position, to avoid it striking the ground – to an unspecified Middle East location. ZH864 departed RNAS Culdrose as NAVY 012 and traveled south to France for the first leg of its journey.

It was not stated precisely where the Merlin would be stationed, though alongside other assets at RAF Akrotiri would be logical. Together with the Wildcat helicopters, the Merlin – using altitude and mobility in its favor – can provide a more flexible and longer range 360-degree early warning capability compared to the permanent UK operated Type 101 radar head on Mount Olympus or the Giraffe radar systems reportedly deployed at Akrotiri itself.

China's export growth likely quickened in the January-February period, a Reuters poll showed on Monday, suggesting the world's second-largest economy is ​on track to top last year's record $1.2 trillion trade surplus over the course of ‌2026.

As the US-Israel war on Iran began last week and Gaza’s crossings were shut, panic spread through the densely populated enclave, raising fears of a famine returning.

Palestinians rushed to markets to stock up on essentials, as soaring prices and shortages of key items, particularly vegetables, signalled the impact of the closures.

Gaza depends almost entirely on border crossings for the entry of food and essential goods, meaning any sudden closure is quickly reflected in local markets and household budgets.

The relinquishing by the Chavista leadership of economic, political and territorial sovereignty and the overall accommodation by nominally “left” governments across the region to Trump’s threats demonstrate that bourgeois nationalism is, without exception, a counter-revolutionary agency of imperialism.

Can you imagine being the IT guy who got given that assignment? What a bizarre day at work.

New polling shows just under half of Canadians support the idea, but there are costs

Is ISIS 2.0 re-emerging in Syria with tacit Western approval? In this explosive Deep Dive Perspective interview, war journalist Marwa Osman exposes the chaotic reality on the ground, arguing that the US has once again "dropped the Kurds" to further a destabilization agenda.

Marwa Osman is a journalist, political commentator, and university lecturer based in Lebanon. She specializes in Middle Eastern affairs, the Axis of Resistance, and the geopolitics of the Levant.

From the release of ISIS prisoners to the expansion of Israel into Syrian territory, Marwa breaks down the complex web of alliances between Turkey, the US, and local militias. We analyze whether the region is facing a new wave of terror designed to fracture the Axis of Resistance and serve the "Greater Israel" project.

Is Syria being partitioned for oil and gas? What role does Erdogan truly play behind the rhetoric? This episode dissects the geopolitics of the Levant, the suffering of the people, and the resilience of those rebuilding amidst the rubble.

The flight corridors from Europe to Asia are extremely narrowed by the two wars in Ukraine and Iran. However, there is one airline that still benefits from this –.

So far, Lufthansa has been at a disadvantage compared to its competitors from the Persian Gulf. Despite the war in Ukraine, Gulf airlines continued to fly over Russia, allowing them to use shorter routes and save fuel depending on their flight route.

But now crude oil prices are rising, and that too is leading to higher costs for kerosene. Although Lufthansa claims to have largely secured itself through forward transactions for the current year – airlines typically plan kerosene consumption many months in advance and secure it through price contracts. Nevertheless, customers must prepare for rising ticket costs because they have to circumnavigate the restricted airspace, which often leads to higher consumption.

"We don't know how long this effect will last in the Gulf. Whether this is a turning point or just a temporary phenomenon," the Lufthansa CEO said. Nevertheless, the 100-year history of his company also teaches one thing: travel flows are likely to shift only in the short term if the war ends quickly. The Gulf region will certainly remain attractive as a travel destination: "There are people who quickly forget and buy the cheapest ticket again."

Hi all, I’m desperate. This has been draining my brain cells one a time. I know for a fact that it is not an ABS issue, because it runs flawlessly locally and it has never even hitched once. The shit starts when I connect through my cloudflare “.com” domain that I just bought last week thinking it’ll solve all my problems (nope).

Every now and then, the frontend client I use (it doesn’t matter which one I use) just disconnects from my ABS server and things just start spinning for a very long time. Just out of nowhere and half of my books are just ghosts because it can’t reach the sever. It acts as if the ABS server becomes inactive and cloudflare just shuts off its tunnel. It’s like the ABS server stops telling cloudflare “yo, I’m up, give me a pass” but cloudflare doesn’t hear/see it and just disconnects it anyway, if that makes any sense.

Sometimes it comes back, and others I have to go into my Debian server and restart the cloudflared service I have for it, in order for the service to resume. I often go to the web interface and either get a red error message complaining about websocket something something. Then I’d refresh the page and either get thrown into the login screen and get stuck there or get the “oops couldn’t find library……..”.

I’ve literally disabled everything I can on cloudflare dashboard that now probably a child can hack me. lol . I even put my audiobooks server in its own tunnel.

I’m at a point that I’m just gonna give up and deactivate all of this cloudflare shit and go back to tailscale and switching servers between home and out of home.

I’m asking for any suggestions if you’ve ever been through something similar. Searching the internet lead me to doing many things that didn’t even fix it. Don’t even get me started on AI.

Thank you in advance. Let me know if you want any details: Debian Trixie and the latest ABS server. Your average .com cloudflare domain are the things I have.

Edit: one little detail I forgot to mention maybe it could be of help. My phone and the pc are both running through pihole and my own DNS with unbound.

Sweden's Minister for Migration Johan Forssell tells Europe Today that the EU "cannot have another refugee crisis", after the bloc's home affairs ministers gathered to discuss the spiralling conflict in the Middle East.

More madness 😭
