Greece condemns Turkey’s drilling intentions in Cyprus’ EEZ
Greece on Tuesday condemned Turkey’s announced intention to continue drilling inside Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ), saying it ignores calls by the international community to respect international law.
In a statement posted Sunday on the Turkish Defense Ministry website, the country said its drillships – the Fatih and the Yavuz – and research vessels Barbaros and Orucreis were continuing their activities in the Eastern Mediterranean. It said that the Turkish navy is providing security from both the air and sea.
“We unequivocally condemn Turkey’s newly declared illegal drilling within the EEZ and continental shelf of the Republic of Cyprus; drilling that, in fact, Turkey plans to carry out in fields that have been licensed, via the proper legal procedures, to European energy companies,” the Greek Foreign Ministry said in a statement in English.
“This is yet another provocation that ignores the calls of the EU and the international community for respect of international legality and of the sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus. It also confirms, once again, Turkey’s destabilising role and its standing as the principal violator of international law in the region. We reiterate that repeated and persistent violations of international legality do not produce any legal effects or create accomplished facts,” it said.
“We express our undivided support and complete solidarity with the Republic of Cyprus, and we again call on Turkey to respect international law and desist from actions that undermine security and stability in our common neighbourhood,” it said.

Coronavirus: Commission proposes €3 billion macro-financial assistance package to support ten neighbouring countries
The Commission has adopted a proposal for a €3 billion macro-financial assistance (MFA) package to ten enlargement and neighbourhood partners to help them to limit the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. The proposal comes on top of the ‘Team Europe' strategy, the EU's robust and targeted response to support partner countries' efforts in tackling the coronavirus pandemic. It represents an important demonstration of the EU's solidarity with these countries at a time of unprecedented crisis. The proposal, following a preliminary assessment of financing needs, provides for the MFA funds to be distributed as follows: the Republic of Albania (€180 million), Bosnia and Herzegovina (€250 million), Georgia (€150 million), the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (€200 million), Kosovo (€100 million), the Republic of Moldova (€100 million), Montenegro (€60 million), the Republic of North Macedonia (€160 million), the Republic of Tunisia (€600 million) and Ukraine (€1.2 billion). The MFA funds will be made available for 12 months in the form of loans on highly favourable terms to help these countries cover their immediate, urgent financing needs. Together with the International Monetary Fund's support, the funds can contribute to enhancing macroeconomic stability and creating space to allow resources to be allocated towards protecting citizens and mitigating the coronavirus pandemic's negative socio-economic consequences. This instrument also remains available for other eligible countries experiencing balance-of-payments difficulties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_treasure_voyages
Over the course of the maritime voyages of the early 15th century, Ming China became the pre-eminent naval power by projecting its sea power further to the south and west. There is still much debate about issues such as the actual purpose of the voyages, the size of the ships, the magnitude of the fleet, the routes taken, the nautical charts employed, the countries visited, and the cargo carried.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming%E2%80%93Kotte_War
Straight-away, their dens and hideouts we ravaged,
And made captive that entire country,
Bringing back to our august capital,
Their women, children, families and retainers, leaving not one,
Cleaning out in a single sweep those noxious pests, as if winnowing chaff from grain…
These insignificant worms, deserving to die ten thousand times over, trembling in fear…
Did not even merit the punishment of Heaven.
Thus the august emperor spared their lives,
And they humbly kowtowed, making crude sounds and
Praising the sage-like virtue of the imperial Ming ruler.
— Yang Rong (1515) about the confrontation in Ceylon

Pelosi Statement on Appointment of Executive Director of CARES Act Pandemic Response Accountability Committee
April 27, 2020
Press Release
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the appointment of Robert Westbrooks as Executive Director of Pandemic Response Accountability Committee, one of the panels that Congressional Democrats created in the CARES Act to oversee the federal emergency relief and response for the coronavirus pandemic response:
“Congressional Democrats passed a transformed CARES Act with multiple strong oversight protections to ensure that this historic investment of taxpayer dollars go first and foremost to workers and families in need.
“It is vital that Executive Director Westbrooks exercise his full authority to hold the Administration accountable to the law and ensure that this relief package is used to protect Americans’ lives and livelihoods, not to pad the pockets of corporations and the wealthiest few.
“The Trump Administration must not interfere with Executive Director Westbrooks‘ independence in this critical oversight role.“

New York refused to send nursing home’s COVID-19 patients to nearly empty USNS Comfort
New York health officials were warned in writing that a Brooklyn nursing home where 55 patients have died of coronavirus was overwhelmed — weeks before it began topping the state’s official list of resident COVID-19 deaths, damning emails show.
Cobble Hill Health Center CEO Donny Tuchman sent a desperate email to state Health Department officials on April 9, asking if there was “a way for us to send our suspected covid patients” to the hospital built inside the Javits Convention Center or the US Naval hospital ship Comfort — the under-utilized federal medical facilities on Manhattan’s West Side.
“We don’t have the ability to cohort right now based on staffing and we really want to protect our other patients,” Tuchman wrote in a chain of the emails reviewed by The Post.
He was denied.
