⚡Germany has left a loophole to renew ties with Russia. Politico writes that Germany and some other NATO members did not want the 1997 Russia-NATO Act to be repealed. According to the document, the Russian Federation and the alliance strengthen trust through consultations and cooperation. After the start of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO declared that the treaty was no longer applicable to the alliance. As a practical matter, the act is no longer in effect, according to Politico. But legally the treaty remains in force due to “Germany’s desire to maintain a minimum framework for a possible return to normal relations with Russia” - FRWL reports

⚡The Turkish Parliament's Committee on Public Notices has officially submitted a request to their country's relevant authorities concerning Armenia's Metsamor nuclear power plant, citing safety concerns. In response to this application, Turkey has appealed to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), demanding the cessation of operations at the Metsamor nuclear power plant. This demand is grounded in the plant's close proximity to the Turkish-Armenian border (16 km) and its location in a seismic zone. Both the IAEA and the European Union have confirmed that allegedly the power plant's safety standards appear to fall short of contemporary technical requirements, with ongoing efforts to implement safety measures.

⚡Indigenous people in Venezuela with Venezuelan Army personnel chanting “Essequibo is ours”. Venezuelans who turned out to vote in a referendum on the status of a disputed oil-rich territory long controlled by Guyana have overwhelmingly backed Venezuela's territorial claim. More than 95% approved establishing a new Venezuelan state in the territory known as Essequibo. The 159,500-sq-km (61,600-square-mile) region makes up two thirds of the total of the land currently controlled by Guyana. The referendum came at a time of heightened tension between Guyana and Venezuela after the 2015 discovery of oil in the waters off Essequibo's coast by US oil giant ExxonMobil. Tensions increased further in September this year, when Guyana held an auction at which oil companies bid for exploration licences in Essequibo waters.
