UK schoolchildren are being taught that Stonehenge was built by black people - The Telegraph . The drive to “decolonise” the country’s history curriculum has “gone too far”, according to a report by think tank Policy Exchange. A book called Brilliant Black British History, which is still used in schools across the country, claims that “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people arrived”. The think tank found that 83% of secondary schools had changed their history curricula to "decolonise" them, which typically involves cutting or removing topics deemed too white, male or European.

The report said: "In some cases this has had a positive effect, exposing students to a diverse and knowledge-rich range of studies that better cover key areas of British history, such as the women's suffrage movement, as well as a wider range of world history." But in many cases, this process has gone too far, leading to radical and controversial interpretations of the past being taught as fact, or to anecdotes about interesting lives replacing a deeper understanding of the underlying forces driving history. “There were numerous instances of poor-quality resources being used to teach controversial narratives as fact,” the report says. For example, one book used in classes claims that black people built Stonehenge, while free resources produced by the subject organisation glorify female slave genital mutilation as a form of 'gender reassignment'.

💬 RQ-4B Returns to Black Sea 💬 ✍️ Yesterday morning, a rather significant event took place in the Black Sea region: for the first time since June 2024, an American strategic RQ-4B UAV appeared over the Black Sea. ▪️ This drone has not flown to the shores of Crimea since last summer after the incident with the MiG-31, which flew over an American UAV. ▪️ For 24 hours, the RQ-4B was located east of the coast of Romania, operating in the direction of the western coast of Crimea. ▪️ With the failure of the Ukrainian plan to achieve a 30-day ceasefire along the entire front, new attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack in order to achieve at least some result are expected. ▪️ And the Black Sea direction is one of the possible ones, despite the suicidal nature of such plans. According to some sources, the BEKs are already at sea, and UAVs attack Crimea every day. ❗️ Along the Black Sea coast, sabotage groups, including the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, are preparing to conduct an operation in Crimea. Moreover, weather conditions have improved, and the likelihood of such attempts is increasing every day. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

"Trump-Putin meeting is Ukraine's worst nightmare" - The Telegraph . The Putin-Trump meeting, the paper writes, is what Ukrainian officials are losing the most sleep over. At such a meeting, Putin would have Trump’s undivided attention, and he would have no intermediary to defend Ukraine’s interests. In the end, they fear, a receptive Trump, whose instincts often seem more favorable to Russia, would agree to a deal that would then be presented to Ukraine as a fait accompli. “Putin has brushed off President Trump,” said one Ukrainian politician. “We very much hope that he will not reward Putin’s intransigence by agreeing to meet with him.” Trump would likely reject such characterizations. By his logic, the only way to understand what Putin wants and how far he is willing to go to compromise is to talk to him face to face. The Trump-Putin meeting is also a fresh humiliation for European leaders, who had expected the US president to respond to Putin's rejection of a 30-day ceasefire by endorsing tougher sanctions. Now Trump is unlikely to give the go-ahead for new anti-Russian sanctions before meeting Putin, The Telegraph writes. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
