All 18 of German Armed Forces Puma Vehicles break down during exercise

Puma in Action – each vehicle comes with own carrier

Germany’s armed forces, the Bundeswehr, has been experiencing serious technical problems with its Puma infantry fighting vehicles, according to a report in Der Spiegel magazine on Saturday.

After a training exercise involving 18 state-of-the-art Puma infantry fighting vehicles, not a single one was left operational, the report said.

The situation has caused a stir in the Defense Ministry because the vehicles are supposed to participate in NATO’s spearhead Very High Readiness Joint Task Force next year.

Is Germany’s military unfit for action?

The German military faced yet another PR disaster on Monday morning after reports emerged over the weekend that a training exercise involving one of its key weapons, the Puma tank, left not a single one operational.

OK, that’s pretty bad, they better hire more cross dressers.

The Netherlands is expected to apologise for slavery, with a speech on Monday by the prime minister and ministerial visits to the Caribbean and Suriname.

Critics complain of insufficient consultation and claim the way it has been pushed through by the Dutch cabinet has a “colonial feel”.

MONTREAL – Negotiators reached a historic deal at a UN biodiversity conference early Monday that would represent the most significant effort to protect the world’s lands and oceans and provide critical financing to save biodiversity in the developing world.

The global framework comes on the day the United Nations Biodiversity Conference, or COP15, is set to end in Montreal. China, which holds the presidency at this conference, released a new draft on Sunday that gave the sometimes contentious talks much-needed momentum.

… The financing has been among the most contentious issues, with delegates from 70 African, South American and Asian countries walking out of negotiations Wednesday. They returned several hours later.

Brazil, speaking for developing countries during the week, said in a statement that a new funding mechanism dedicated to biodiversity should be established and that developed countries provide $100 billion annually in financial grants to emerging economies until 2030.

Defiant students, fearful teachers and an elementary school in disarray: What really happened at Pinecrest Public School?

“The student voice was all that mattered, and basically they silenced the teachers’ voice,” said one former teacher.

An alarming email went out to staff at Pinecrest Public School last June with the subject line: “Students reporting they don’t feel safe!”

The sender was Michael Sternberg, a grade 5 and 6 teacher at Pinecrest. He explained how multiple students that very day told him they felt unsafe at the school. “I am not making this up!” he wrote. “Please help! Someone!”

Homeschool.

Trudeau’s CBC Lauds Trudeau’s Climate Lunatic

Canadian climate minister’s 1st full year in office was one of cred and compromise

It’s not every day the prime minister asks a rebel to join his cabinet, but for Justin Trudeau, it’s been a well-received gamble.

As his first full year in office wraps, activist-turned-politician Steven Guilbeault is in the midst of hosting the world for the UN’s COP15 conference in Montreal, as Canada’s minister of environment and climate change. It’s the most significant biodiversity conference in over a decade.

COP15 comes on the heels of last month’s heavily attended COP27 — the UN conference for climate negotiations hosted by Egypt.
