This is of course the same Prince William who owns and rents out 600 homes that are making the tenants ill because they're full of black mould and don't meet energy standards, and he refuses to fix the problems as it would be too expensive.

It comes as the taxpayer is funding a £369m renovation of Buckingham Palace and Prince William launches his campaign against homelessness and for “everyone having a right to a safe and stable home”. One tenant said: “The slick PR will stick in the throat of many tenants. He should start by bringing the homes he already owns up to modern standards.”

The meeting, headed by FAO Director General QU Dongyu, was attended by a Venezuelan delegation composed of the Vice-Minister of Plant Agricultural Development and Agroindustry, Tibisay León; the Vice-Minister of Anti-Blockade Policies, William Castillo; the Vice-Minister of Communal Economy, Saúl Osio; the general director of the Office of Integration and International Affairs of the Ministry of People's Power for Productive Agriculture and Lands, Anny Fuentes Ortuño; the community spokesman Johander Pineda, from the Socialist Commune El Maizal, and the Venezuelan ambassador to FAO, Marilyn Di Luca Santaella.

During the meeting, this delegation presented the country's significant advances in agri-food, community and peace diplomacy under the leadership of President Nicolás Maduro.

Vice Minister Tibisay León presented the strategic framework of the Venezuelan agrifood policy, based on the Plan of the Homeland, the Plan of the 7 Transformations and the 13 Productive Engines. Mr. León highlighted the transition towards a territorially-based, communal, resilient and life-centered economic model.

Representing the People's Power, Johander Pineda, spokesman of the Socialist Commune El Maizal, shared the concrete experience of the communes as an example of productive transformation. He explained how they have managed to increase food production, facing adversities and building food sovereignty through self-management and collective planning.

Pineda reiterated that this model is replicated and multiplied throughout the country, evidencing the popular protagonism in the national transformation.

In a significant gesture, Vice Minister William Castillo, on behalf of President Nicolás Maduro, presented QU Dongyu with an official invitation to participate in the World Summit for Peace. This is a space promoted by Venezuela to promote understanding, dialogue and cooperation among the peoples of the world.

The FAO Director General, for his part, expressed his appreciation to President Maduro for the leadership shown in the recovery of the country's agrifood capacities. He also reiterated the support of the multilateral agency to the Venezuelan process of productive transformation, emphasizing sustainability, social inclusion and territorial equity.

Venezuela thus reaffirms its commitment to food sovereignty, where popular power plays a strategic role in development, and active diplomacy for peace, defending the right of peoples to live and produce with dignity.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ratified the annex to the agreement concluded with Cairo on the terms of Egypt’s repayment of the loan to finance the Dabaa nuclear power plant project.

The Dabaa plant is being built by the Russian state-owned company Rosatom in Egypt, in Russian rubles.

On November 19, 2015, Egypt and Russia signed a cooperation agreement to establish the Dabaa nuclear power plant, with an investment cost of US$25 billion, provided by Russia as a soft government loan to Cairo.

The loan agreement with Egypt was concluded on that same day, and according to Russian Deputy Finance Minister Vladimir Kolychev the agreement was amended to switch to repayment in rubles on September 16, 2024, RT reported.

Kolychev said that due to the difficulty of repaying loans in unfavorable currencies, the two parties switched to settling debts in rubles and signed the necessary government protocol in September.

Egypt had fully repaid its debts until the beginning of 2024, he confirmed, adding that all loan installments were now being paid according to the approved schedule.

Dabaa is Egypt’s first nuclear power plant and is being built in the city of Dabaa in Marsa Matrouh Governorate on the Mediterranean coast, 300 km northwest of Cairo.

It will include four Generation 3+ pressurized water reactors with a total capacity of 4,800 megawatts, each with a capacity of 1,200 megawatts.

The first reactor is scheduled to launch in 2028.

Russian nuclear energy giant Rosatom is building the plant using state-of-the-art technology and according to the highest safety and security standards, as confirmed by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Rosatom has a long history of building dozens of nuclear power plants in Russia and around the world.
