Trudeau condemns France attacks but says free speech has limits

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended free speech on Friday, but added that it was 'not without limits' and should not 'arbitrarily and needlessly hurt' certain communities.
Trudeau said, his country will always defend freedom of expression, in response to a question about the right to show a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed, as France's Charlie Hebdo magazine did.
But he added, that freedom of expression is not without limits, saying we owe it to ourselves to act with respect for others and to seek not to arbitrarily or unnecessarily injure those with whom we are sharing a society and a planet.
Canada's parliament observed a moment of silence on Thursday for the three people stabbed to death earlier in a church in Nice, in southern France, by a Tunisian man who was apprehended.

Speaking virtually at the Jaipur Literary Fest, Malala stressed that minorities need protection in every country, be it Pakistan or India, adding that the issue is not related to religion but to the "exploitation of power" and must be taken seriously. Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist for girls education who miraculously survived a bullet to the head from the militant Taliban in October 2012, said the news of internet shutdown and arrests of activists "protesting peacefully" in India is "worrying" and expressed the hope that the government will make sure that people are heard.

Education budgets have been cut by 65 per cent of low and lower-middle-income countries after the outbreak of the&nbsp;covid-19 pandemic, according to a report by the World Bank. The report has been compiled in collaboration with UNESCO's Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report. It said that the current levels of government spending in low and lower-middle-income countries fall short of those required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In order to understand the short-term impact of the coronavirus pandemic on education budgets, information was collected for a sample of 29 countries across all regions, out of which there were three low-income countries, 14 lower-middle-income countries, 10 upper-middle-income countries and two high-income countries. The sample represented about 54 per cent of the world's school and university-aged population, the report said.

The US House of Representatives has approved a $1.9tn relief plan to help Americans during the Covid pandemic. The package will boost vaccinations and testing, and stabilise the US economy. The cash would be given as emergency financial aid to households, small businesses and state governments. The bill must now go to the Senate for approval. The vote comes in the same week the US passed 500,000 coronavirus-related deaths - the largest figure of any nation in the world. Hailing the approval, President Biden said, he hoped it would receive "quick action" at the Senate. "We have no time to waste. If we act now, decisively, quickly and boldly we can finally get ahead of this virus, we can finally get our economy moving again. And the people in this country have suffered far too much for too long. We need to relieve that suffering," said Biden.

The UK, EU and Canada have also ordered doses, and 500 million doses have also been ordered through the Covax scheme to supply poorer nations.

US President Joe Biden said Friday that Iran should view his decision to authorize US air strikes in Syria as a warning. He stated that Tehran will face consequences for its support of militia groups that threaten US interests or personnel. The Pentagon said the strikes destroyed several buildings in eastern Syria but were not intended to eradicate the militia groups that used them to facilitate attacks inside Iraq. While the administration defended the air strikes as legal and appropriate, several leading Democrats denounced the strikes, which were the first military actions Biden authorized. Democrats said the air strikes were done without authorization from lawmakers.

The United States has announced sanctions and visa bans on on 76 Saudi Arabian citizens over the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Biden administration, however, stopped short of imposing sanctions on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has been named in a US intelligence report. While announcing the 'Khashoggi Ban', US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that extra-terrotorial threats and assaults by Saudi Arabia against activists, dissidents and journalists must end. The US said that 76 sanctioned Saudi citizens have been engaged in threatening dissidents overseas, including Jamal Khashoggi.

A diplomat's job is no walk in the park. And if you are a diplomat in North Korea, even the journey back home cam become too arduous. Eight Russian diplomats and their families &mdash; including a three-year-old girl &mdash; had to use a hand-pushed rail trolley to cross the border from North Korea to return to Russia. Why? Because North Korea has suspended all cross-border trains due to Covid restrictions. Video posted on Russia's foreign ministry's verified Telegram account showed the trolley, laden with suitcases and women, being pushed across a border railway bridge by Third Secretary Vladislav Sorokin, the only man in the group.
