The prime minister and Leader of the Opposition exchanged personal blows as they discussed Nadhim Zahawi's tax affairs. Rishi Sunak began "I know he reads from these prepared sheets, but he should listen to what I actually say". Keir Starmer retaliated, "we all know why the prime minister was reluctant to ask his party chairman questions about family finances and task avoidance". Report by Wardl.

Australia to Remove , British Monarchs , From Future Bank Notes.
Associated Press reports that Australia
made the announcement on February 2.
Australia's central bank said that
the new five dollar bill would feature an
Indigenous design that will replace King Charles III.
However, AP reports that the king will continue
to appear on coins that currently bear
the image of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Australia's five dollar bill was
the nation's last remaining bank note to still
feature the likeness of the British monarch.
According to Australia's Reserve Bank,
the decision came after consultation
with the center-left Labor Party government. .
AP reports that opponents of
the move claim it was
politically motivated.
According to the central bank, the new five dollar bill will replace the portrait of the queen, who died last year, with an image that honors, “the culture and history of the First Australians.”.
The monarch will still be on the coins,
but the $5 note will say more about our
history and our heritage and our
country, and I see that as a good thing, Jim Chalmers, Australian Treasurer, via Associated Press.
In 1999, Australians voted in a referendum proposed
by the Labor government to keep the British
monarch as Australia's head of state.
AP reports that Queen Elizabeth II appeared
on at least 33 different currencies,
more than any other monarch, at one time.

Putin told Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he was open to dialogue with Ukraine if Kyiv accepts territories occupied by Moscow as Russian; Funeral of ex-Pope Benedict XVI held, coffin taken to be buried; UK’s Prince Harry alleges brother William attacked him: Report; Russia sends more Arctic oil to China and India after sanctions by EU and G7 nations.
#VladimirPutin #RussiaUkraineWar #PopeBenedictXVI
Trade sources and data revealed that Russia is sending more crude oil produced in the Arctic region to China and India, and at steeper discounts. This comes after Europe put heavy sanctions on Russian supplies last month. As per reports, Arctic grades Arco, Arco/Novy Port and Varandey do not usually come to the East. But reportedly they are now doing supplying further afield after the European Union, G7 nations and Australia introduced a price cap on Russian oil in December, on top of an EU embargo on Russian crude by sea.

Western Sanctions Are, Paying Off As Russian Oil , Revenues Fall.
According to the International Energy Agency,
Russian oil revenues fell in November despite a boost
in production to just below levels prior to the Ukraine invasion.
'The Guardian' reports that the falling revenue
is a sign that Western sanctions and other efforts
to cut off Russia's income have been successful. .
'The Guardian' reports that the falling revenue
is a sign that Western sanctions and other efforts

In November, the IEA estimated
that Russia earned just
$15.8 billion from oil sales. .
That is the second-lowest monthly
earnings Russia has reported this year
after bringing in just $14.7 billion in September.
The dipping revenue report comes despite Russia
increasing its export of crude oil to 8.1 million
barrels per day, its highest level since April.
In December, the EU and G7 introduced
a $60-a-barrel price cap on Russian oil.
On December 14, the price
of non-Russian oil had climbed
to about $81 a barrel.
President Vladimir Putin has said the cap will
not have a significant impact on Russia’s economy
but could harm the international energy market.

by surging inflation, the full impact
of embargoes on Russian crude and
product supplies remains to be seen, International Energy Agency, via 'Newsweek'.
