Brussels froze Chinese assets and sanctioned four senior Chinese officials for their role in human rights violations inside China -- the first measure of its kind since the end of the Cold War. 

While President Joe Biden's administration looks forward to diplomatic talks with China and Iran, both regimes have started to build ballistic missile facilities. 

Chinese nuclear-armed ballistic missiles are not only capable of hitting anywhere in the world, but they can also target satellites and space assets in the earth's orbit. Iran, aided by Russian, Chinese, and North Korean technology, can strike western Europe. 

Public opinion in the United Kingdom has turned against Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle after they made racism allegation against the Royal Family. The popularity of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has now dropped to their lowest level ever after their highly-publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey last weekend, the latest YouGov poll shows.

Communist China and the Russian Federation have agreed to build a joint station on the moon. According to the bilateral agreement publicized on Wednesday, they want to create a "complex" of facilities on the moon's surface and its orbit. 

The Israeli government has confirmed Iranian involvement in the massive oil spill that hit its coast last month.

A recent report published by the Israel-based Alma Research and Education Center revealed the Iran-backed Hezbollah is erecting more missile launch sites in the Lebanese capital Beirut.

The missiles aimed at Israel are located in the city's crowded neighborhoods, a tactic to deter the Israeli military from targeting the sites in case of an armed conflict.
