USA vs Russia & China: The Coldest War Threatens

The world powers urgently need to work together. After all, Russia and the US are now talking to each other. It is difficult to say whether this will help in the Ukraine conflict.

At the beginning of 2022, a look at the "world muddle" 

Two trouble spots, Ukraine and Taiwan, could turn out to be preludes to war. Vladimir Putin's Russia Nostalgically suffers not only from the collapse of the Soviet Union, but from the collapse of the Petrine Empire; The Kremlin rulers opposed the exaggerated expansion of NATO's sphere of influence with an equally exaggerated national Russian imperial policy.

China makes its authoritarian capitalism the foundation of a global claim to power. The United States, torn internally since Donald Trump and not since the civil war, and robbed of its constitutional and social stability and thus also its ability to shape global politics by destructive forces, has lost its reliability.

Europe's unity, however, is riddled with crippling diversity of national goals, interests, and even values.

End Of The Soviet Union: The Soviet Legacy

The Soviet Union has been history for 30 years. But thought patterns and political claims have remained - the Russia-Ukraine conflict shows this in the most glaring way.

After the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Kravchuk, and the Belarusian parliamentary chairman Stanislav Shushkevich agreed on the end of the USSR on December 8, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as President of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991.

China shows a glimpse of Wuhan's controversial laboratory

Chinese state media have glimpsed a laboratory that has been the center of various conspiracy theories about the corona virus, while China is trying to disprove claims that the center caused the global epidemic.

Ever since the corona virus came to light, China's Wuhan Institute of Virology has been the victim of various conspiracy theories.

US President Donald Trump and other US officials have repeatedly indicated that the corona virus may have leaked from the laboratory or was deliberately made in the same laboratory.

Scenes aired on Chinese CCTV are said to be the first time footage from inside the laboratory has been released. The footage shows the P4 Lab, which has been working on the most dangerous Class 4 virus since 2017.

The footage did not provide any information on how the laboratory works. Only the other side of the glass shows the situation inside the laboratory and the security protocol is the reason behind not taking the camera inside the laboratory.

"There were no accidents or leaks in the laboratory and no human infections,"

said Yuan Zeming, director of the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory, according to AFP.

The virus spread in the area from a nearby laboratory. As soon as people find out about the situation and know about the laboratory, these rumors will slowly die down.

Scientists say the virus, which was discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan, spread from bats to other animals and from there to humans.

Chinese officials said at the start of the outbreak that the virus may have spread from a market in Wuhan where live and wild animals are sold, but no further confirmation has been reported.

The conspiracy theory that the virus was created in a laboratory has been on the Internet for months, and has since been debated by President Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Australia and the United States have also called for an investigation into the outbreak.

The World Health Organization is sending a representative to China this weekend to launch an investigation into the virus.

Al Azhar approves to beat the wives "without breaking any bones" and unleashes the controversy

Wives can be beaten as long as no bones are broken as a result of the beating. The declarations of the great Imam of Al Azhar, Ahmed el Tayeb, sheltering a gender violence that is still a taboo enclosed within the walls of Egyptian homes has unleashed the umpteenth debate that splashes the most prestigious institution of Sunni Islam.

The Tayeb uttered his words during a television program he directed during the holy month of Ramadan. "The remedy that the Koran offered is to strike in a symbolic way with the purpose of reforming but without causing harm, harm or pain," the religious leader argued before his viewers. "The texts of the Koran and the provisions of Islamic legislation are valid at all times and in all places," he stressed.

The head of an institution based in Cairo, which claims to be the beacon of Sunni Islam, based his words on some verses of "the surah of women" of the Koran. " Men are in charge of women by virtue of the preference that Allah has given to some over others (...) There will be those who are straight, obedient and keep, when they do not see, what Allah commands to keep. But those whose rebellion you fear, admonish them, do not sleep with them, beat them, but if they obey you, do not seek any means against them, "says the verse.

According to El Tayeb, the action of a man to beat his spouse " has some rules and limits ". "You must not break a bone, or cause damage to an organ or limb of your body, or strike it with the hand on your face or leave it wounded or cause psychological harm." The objective is to hit him in a symbolic way with the Swak [ a small stick of wood used in ancient times to clean teeth ] or the brush of our time," said the great imam.

His verbiage has raised dust adding to the criticism that Al Azhar receives, in the eye of the hurricane by the school curriculum in the wide network of educational centers that he administers in the most populated country in the Arab world. "The opinion of the sheik allowing the man to beat his wife is his main ideology and his speech is recorded in video and audio, " condemned MP Mohamed Abu Hamed.

The fatwa (Islamic edict) of El Tayeb has also met with those who argue that the Koran allows and enshrines gender violence. An opinion held by the Egyptian television presenter Islam al Behiri, a reformer sentenced to prison for insulting the religion that was pardoned by President Abdelfatah al Sisi at the end of 2016. The theologian alleges that the first scholars misunderstood the terms of the Qur'an and disregarded the context and the real meaning of the said ayah.

Other religious, on the other hand, have ratified the position of El Tayeb. "One night the Prophet Muhammad went to tombs of present -day Saudi Arabia. One of his wives, Aisha, by pure jealousy pursued to find out what place he was going. Once there, she returned before not to arouse any suspicion. The prophet knew it and, when asked, he punched him in the chest, "he recalls in statements to THE WORLD Ahmed al Azhari, an Egyptian sheikh. "The objective of hitting the woman is to punish her and discipline her , not to hurt her," he insists.

Cornered by the controversy, Al Azhar has tried to retreat. In a statement released by the media, the institution indicates that " mistreated women have become one of the causes of psychological damage that is reflected negatively in the family." "The intellectual of Mecca, Ibn Atta, is among those who refused to beat his wife and considered that it did not contravene what the Koran says," the note adds.

In the text, the sheikh shows his willingness to open "the debate among scientists" about gender violence. "I hope to be able to live to see legislation in our Arab and Islamic world that criminalizes the mistreatment", affirms El Tayeb trying to reduce the controversy. It is not the first time that Al Azhar is involved in similar controversies. The most liberal sectors accuse him of trying to stop the increasing rate of divorce through sheikhs that advise women to resist for the sake of the family unit.

Sexist violence is a taboo of long shadow in the conservative Egyptian society. There are not even statistics on reported cases or deaths among the walls of homes. It is one of the reasons used to explain the increase in divorces. Half of the new marriages end in rupture. In Egypt, with 100 million souls, a new divorce is formalized every two and a half minutes.

"The main causes of these figures are gender violence and abandonment, violence is the most dramatic reason, husbands assault their spouses," Mahasen Saber, a woman who runs a radio that offers a voice to divorced. "We get many testimonies from women who denounce the blows of her husband and the reaction of their own family, that the only advice they provide is to put up with it."

Violence within the marriage is not a new issue. It is a recurring query for Dar el Ifta, an official Egyptian body responsible for publishing religious edicts. On its website, the consultations are dispatched with an argument similar to the one that fueled the controversy: "The academics unanimously agreed that hitting does not intend to harm the wife or insult her." It is permissible, but not mandatory, in cases where that such conduct is not an insult to the spouse or does not harm her but simply shows the dissatisfaction of the husband and his anger for having neglected his duties. " In such circumstances, Dar el Ifta advises a light hit "without leaving a signal" with a "toothbrush or anything else that is not a tool to lift".
