Russia Thanks Trump For Releasing Two Russian Crew From Seized Tanker Even though the Ukraine war is on a trajectory of escalation, which has included Russia launching a hypersonic ballsitic missile overnight on the western city of Lviv, the United States and Moscow are still finding small areas of understanding and cooperation - keeping the window for improved bilateral relations open. Russia-EU relations have spiraled and are essentially broken, but there's yet still at least a glimmer of hope that ties with Washington could soften or even turn around. Russia confirmed Friday that the United States had agreed to free two Russian crew members from a Russian-flagged oil tanker seized earlier this week. The vessel Marinera is alleged to be part of the so-called shadow fleet transporting oil for countries including Venezuela, Russia and Iran - and it was intercepted a day ago by the US in the North Atlantic after escaping the southern Caribbean off Venezuela. It was surprising that the ship was intercepted by US forces despite it being escorted by the Russian Navy at the time. The very bold move ordered by the Trump administration raised fears of a direct US-Russian naval exchange of fire in the Atlantic . Just ahead of the seizure, reports set the scene as follows : The US is carrying out an operation to seize a tanker linked to Venezuelan oil, an official tells CBS, the BBC's US news partner. Previously named Bella 1, its name has been changed to Marinera and it has also reportedly been reflagged from a Guyanese to a Russian vessel. Russia has reportedly deployed a submarine and other vessels to escort an oil tanker - which is also being pursued by US forces - across the Atlantic. But instead of a military showdown on the high seas, there's been rare de-escalation , with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova saying in a fresh statement , "At our request, U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to release two Russian citizens aboard the Marinera tanker...

Clip first posted by partisan outlet Alpha News shows perspective of ICE agent as Good was fatally shot Renee Nicole Good calmly said everything was “fine” and “I’m not mad at you” seconds before an on-duty Immigration Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot her in Minneapolis as she drove away, according to a cellphone video shared Friday by Donald Trump’s White House. The partisan media outlet Alpha News first posted the video on X, a 47-second clip that showed the perspective of the ICE agent – and captured a man’s voice calling Good a “fucking bitch” after she was mortally wounded. It was then shared by the White House’s official Rapid Response X account as well as JD Vance , with the vice-president writing in part that he agreed with the notion that Good’s death was “a tragedy” but accused the media of dishonestly covering the circumstances of her killing.

It seems tech can take a breather and stocks can still gain. So far this year, areas like materials and industrials are far outpacing tech names. And small-caps are doing the best of all.

Google rolled out emoji reactions to personal Gmail accounts a little over two years ago , and I completely forgot about it until now - probably because the option is hidden within a small, smiley face icon beside the Forward button. But now, Google is bringing emoji reactions to all Workspace users by default on February 9th, reminding me of their existence (and all the times I could've replied with a "thumbs-up" instead of a full-blown message). Selecting the inconspicuous smiley face button displays a range of emoji you can use in place of a written response. If your recipient is another Gmail user, they'll see your reaction at the bottom … Read the full story at The Verge.

Photo: VCG Chinese companies are undergoing a strategic sea change in their approach to globalization, pivoting from simple exports to embedding themselves in local markets through deeply rooted operations abroad, a new report from management consultancy Roland Berger says. The Jan. 8 report describes a shift in demand — from merely “going out” to actively “taking root” — as firms recalibrate their international ambitions amid rising geopolitical tensions, trade frictions and domestic growth plateaus.
