It would be a scandal if Boris Johnson scrapped having an ethics adviser – and entirely to form
...
As Conservative MPs compared notes after prime minister’s questions at Wednesday lunchtime, there was cautious optimism among Boris Johnson’s remaining allies that he had weathered the Partygate storm and “moved on” to more favourable territory – battles with the EU over the Northern Ireland protocol and the European Court of Human Rights over sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.
By Wednesday night, such hopes had largely melted away. Christopher Geidt, the prime minister’s ethics adviser, quit his post. “We’re back to Partygate,” groaned one Tory backbencher. “Will he ever shake it off?”
Geidt’s long goodbye, after months of agonising over whether he could serve a PM who shows contempt for standards in public life, will not result in another attempt by Tory MPs to oust Johnson. Nor will a double Tory defeat in next Thursday’s by-elections in Wakefield and Tiverton and Honiton. I’m told the 1922 committee will not change the rules preventing another confidence vote for 12 months until the autumn at the earliest. So Johnson limps on: unable to “move on” as he desperately wants, but with his Tory critics unable to move him out.
The word in Whitehall is that Geidt did not really quit over steel tariffs, as he implied in his resignation letter, but over Johnson’s cavalier approach to the adviser’s role. The steel issue suited Johnson nicely, because the final straw wasn’t about his own behaviour. Whitehall is mystified as to why the PM felt it necessary to consult Geidt over whether extending tariffs on Chinese imports might breach World Trade Organisation rules, since his views had not been sought during previous phases of this dispute or on potential breaches of international law over Brexit.
The reality is that Geidt was observing an unwritten but golden rule for civil servants and other advisers: we must never bring down an elected politician. If Geidt had resigned a few weeks earlier over Partygate, he might just have done so. The Queen’s former private secretary didn’t want to play a part in the PM’s downfall by quitting at the moment of maximum danger.
Sue Gray, the senior civil servant, was also hampered by the golden rule in her Partygate inquiry. “She was never going to make a direct judgment on the PM,” one Whitehall source said. When Alex Allan, Geidt’s predecessor, resigned in 2020, it wasn’t because Johnson declined to sack Priti Patel – a matter for the PM rather than his adviser – but because he did not accept Allan’s ruling that she had breached the ministerial code by bullying Home Office staff.
Geidt’s departure has further soured the relationship between politicians and civil servants. In an unprecedented move, three former cabinet secretaries – Robin Butler, Bob Kerslake and Andrew Turnbull – have since criticised Johnson’s lax approach to standards. “He’s not worthy of the office,” Turnbull said.
In line with the golden rule, he added: “This matter is not going to be solved by ministerial advisers. It’s going to be solved when enough of his backbenchers can summon up the courage to decide that he’s not a man of sufficient integrity that they want as their leader.”
These normally mild-mannered former mandarins are spitting tacks. They also speak for today’s civil servants. Do the old fogeys’ views matter? Yes, because standards do. Most public servants (including the vast majority of today’s ministers and MPs) care about them. Plainly, Johnson does not.
It would be a scandal if, as seems likely, he now scraps the vacant post of ethics adviser. That would solve the difficult problem of finding anyone with credibility prepared to do it.
Although it is obvious the standards system needs to be beefed up rather than weakened, leaving the job vacant would be true to form. Johnson tried save Owen Paterson’s skin when he breached lobbying rules. He has diluted the ministerial code and the independence of the Electoral Commission, which got to the bottom of the Downing Street flat refurb controversy after Johnson withheld crucial information from Geidt.
Johnson should appoint a new adviser on ministerial interests without delay and hand them the power to launch investigations without the PM’s permission. As Geidt told a select committee during his uncomfortable appearance this week: “I am an asset of the prime minister... rather than a free-orbiting adviser.”
The problem is that the PM acts as “judge and jury” over ministers – including him or herself – on whether the code has been breached and on any sanctions. But a PM’s undeniable right to choose their ministers is being abused by Johnson.
The challenge is to create a system strong enough to rein in a rogue PM who laughs off the traditional “good chaps” theory of government, coined by the historian Peter Hennessy, relying on politicians to obey the spirit of the rules. A stronger ethics adviser with greater resources, the power to start investigations without the PM’s permission and to publish the findings on their own account and timescale would reduce a PM’s ability to “mark their own homework”.
It will happen one day. But not under Johnson. The Patel saga, when Johnson sat on Allan’s report for months, and the five-month delay in finding Allan’s successor, suggest he will play for time after Geidt’s departure and do nothing to repair the tarnished image of his premiership.
He won’t care that he is also dragging down his government, party and politics generally. These are lesser priorities than his day-to-day survival. So the vital task of rebuilding public trust in our politicians will fall to his successor.

‘I still have nightmares’: Gymnastics abuse survivor calls for urgent change in wake of Whyte Review
...
A survivor of abuse within gymnastics says she still has nightmares about what happened to her as a child and even now feels “terrified” and “physically sick” when she smells the perfume worn by her coaches.
Former England gymnast Nicole Pavier provided testimony to the Whyte Review into the mistreatment of athletes within the sport, which was published on Thursday.
The Review received over 400 submissions and detailed systemic physical and psychological abuse, which it said centred around British Gymnastics’ prioritising of cash and success over athlete welfare.
In a wide-ranging interview with the PA news agency, Pavier:
• said she had experienced abusive practices at clubs in two completely separate parts of the country
• said she had been forced to continue training on the bars even when her hands were bleeding through her gloves
• revealed she had been the victim of weight-shaming techniques and suffered from an eating disorder, which she did not fully recover from until she was in her early 20s
• expressed a lack of confidence in UK Sport and its chief executive Sally Munday, who she said had been “dismissive” about the extent of the problems within gymnastics
• called for a register to be set up allowing parents to see if coaches had ever been suspended as part of a safeguarding investigation and warned parents were being “set up for a fall” if this did not happen
• said she does not believe the sport is safe for children as things stand
Pavier, who is 26 and now works as a nurse, said nothing in the Whyte Review had come as a shock to her. She started out at the Bristol Hawks club before moving to the Notts Gymnastic Academy.
“When I was very young there was physical abuse,” she told PA, “forcing me to physically do skills I was terrified of doing, and then kind of dropping me from the beam and dragging me back to do the skills, or forcing me to train on stress fractures in my back when I was crying in pain and not being believed.
“I wasn’t tied to the bar but we have these things called straps that are strapped up, and I was on that bar for so long that the blood was coming through my gloves and I was forced to continue.
“I moved away from that club and moved to Nottingham and experienced a lot of psychological abuse there, gaslighting, being made to feel like I was never good enough and then a lot of extreme weight management or weight-shaming techniques.
“By the end of my career, I was medically retired with fractures in my spine and a severe eating disorder. I spent that last year of my career in hospital having operations and also getting treatment for an eating disorder that didn’t really sort itself out until I was 22, 23 years old.
“It still has an impact now and I still have PTSD. I have the nightmares from things that happened to me when I was a child. I have to avoid places.
“I still have weird smell responses to the perfume my coaches wore, it makes me physically sick – like I’m just that terrified still. It has a massive knock-on impact on the rest of your life.”
…
Pavier said she would love to advise parents to allow their children to take part in gymnastics but added: “I don’t think we’re there yet with it being safe.”
She urged British Gymnastics to provide a more open approach on safeguarding and said: “I think there should be some type of sporting register for coaches so that parents at least have the knowledge when they walk into that gym that this coach has been suspended for X amount of time because of these allegations that had to be investigated. We have to protect people a little bit.
“It’s been frustrating. I’ve seen comments on social media saying ‘I’m going to take my child to this club’, which was my old gymnastics club, and someone went ‘oh, there are lots of allegations made last year’ and the response was ‘Oh, well, none of them went to court, so it didn’t happen’. Which is obviously not the case.
“We are potentially setting families up for a fall with them not having the knowledge and the power to make those decisions.”
Pavier agrees with the Review’s finding that some of the abuse was “systemic” and criticised UK Sport chief executive Sally Munday.
“She kind of dismissed this back in 2020 as a few bad apples. Actually what the Whyte Review has shown is what we already knew – that this is systemic,” said Pavier.
“There may need to be changes in leadership there to actually kind of push through change with British Gymnastics.”
She believes a blind eye was turned to the abuse, “because success was being achieved with those techniques”.
Pavier added: “It wasn’t the priority of British Gymnastics to create a culture that was safe for (athletes). They had the financial means to be able to make improvements to safeguarding and they chose not to.”
The Gymnasts For Change group has called for action at government level, including the introduction of mandatory reporting and an independent ombudsman for sport.
Pavier said: “That would be a massive step in making sure athletes are protected and that people in the power positions don’t have an influence over that, so people feel confident to raise concerns and that they will actually be listened to.
“It needs to go to a government level. Because, at the end of the day, we were children and it’s child abuse.”
Blinken: I press Saudis on LGBTQI issues ‘in every conversation’
...
Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he brings up LGBTQI rights with his Saudi counterpart “invariably, in every conversation,” but defends President Joe Biden’s planned July visit to the kingdom — where homosexual acts carry the death penalty.
“There are a lot of different things” that constitute America’s interests in the country, Blinken said.
Speaking at the State Department’s first-ever briefing for LGBTQI reporters, Blinken told POLITICO that “we have real engagement” with Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud when he raises his LGBTQI-themed complaints. But he said human rights are only one part of America’s foreign policy and “everything has to be reflected in what we do.”
It’s hardly the concerted effort to treat the Saudis “like the pariah they are” that Biden promised as a candidate, but Blinken insists that was never the administration’s plan. “We were determined from day one to recalibrate the relationship: not rupture, recalibrate,” he said.
It’s a delicate juggling act for a pro-LGBTQI administration.
The State Department says it has provided financial assistance to around 10,000 LGBTQI human rights defenders via its Global Equality Fund. But in pursuing what Blinken called a “first do no harm” approach to attacks on LGBTQI communities globally, the administration is also vulnerable to criticism that it acts too slowly or quietly in defending those under siege.
That group includes Brittney Griner, the out American basketball player whose imprisonment in Russia on drug smuggling charges has been extended until July 2.
Blinken has now classified Griner as “wrongfully detained” — after a two-month legal process. Her case is part of a broader trend of American citizens being used as political pawns by autocratic regimes.
Asked if foreign leaders point out that LGBTQI rights are under attack in states across America, Blinken admitted, “I, not infrequently, get that response.”
The Saudi death penalty example illustrates that for other LGBTQI communities globally, the stakes are often higher than for those defending, for example, marriage equality in the United States.
Blinken painted a picture of a world polarizing on LGBTQI rights.
There is occasional real progress: “Pride in Lithuania: 17,000 people, that’s remarkable!” he noted, speaking of the recent Baltic Pride parade in Vilnius, and highlighting a successful years-long push to decriminalize homosexuality in Botswana that was supported by the United States.
All that exists against a grim backdrop: one in three countries globally still criminalize homosexuality.
Blinken describes the current backlash against LGBTQI communities as “a deadly serious time,” and frames these attacks as a “canary in the coal mine” for broader human rights and democratic freedoms.
While leaders such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin provide extreme examples of the use of anti-gay ideology, the administration is worried about many other countries. And yet, the State Department remains reluctant to name and shame.
Privately, U.S. diplomats point to Hungary, Poland, Guatemala and Indonesia as examples.
“The last thing we want to do is actually make things worse,” Blinken told POLITICO, arguing that “we have to do it on a case-by-case basis, because every country has a different situation.”
The decision on whether to go public with criticism often depends on feedback from local activists, Blinken said, adding that he insists on American diplomats abroad providing “as much early warning as possible” about new attacks on rights.
In a common Biden administration refrain, Blinken emphasized the importance of coordination with allies: “Coming together can make a big difference: the country in question will take it more seriously.”
That work would be easier if Jessica Stern, the U.S. special envoy to advance the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex persons, had more than three counterparts around the world — in London, Rome and Buenos Aires.
Stern warned that autocratic governments are copying anti-LGBTQI legislation from each other and anti-gender movements are gaining strength — often funded by American private donations.
The Global Philanthropy Project estimates that since 2008, “eleven United States organizations associated with the anti-gender movement funneled at least $1 billion into countries across the globe” — vastly outspending LGBTQI advocacy.
“The anti-gender movement is growing in strength. It’s well networked, and it’s well resourced,” Stern told POLITICO. “Bad ideas are copied. And we’re seeing copycat legislation and a new crop of criminalizing laws that target LGBTQI activists around the world.”
“When you say a law criminalizes me for who I am, it violates my rights. But if you argue for equal protection under the law, you’re attacked as an activist. There’s never a way forward,” she lamented.
Promising to “make sure that [the State Department] actually reflects the full country that we represent,” Blinken described Stern’s role as being able to “walk into my office and walk into any office 24/7,” and “give us that intense focus that we need.”
Blinken remains worried but upbeat — believing that the backlash experienced by some LGBTQI communities is because of the broad success they have had in speaking out and securing both legal rights and cultural affirmation. “The planet as a whole” he said, “has never been more tolerant by lots of measures.”
“In every corner of darkness, we also find some places of light,” he said.

Литва прекратила транзит подсанкционных грузов в Калининград. В России грозят последствиями
...
Транзит касается длинного списка грузов, подпадающих под санкции Евросоюза. В литовской железнодорожной компании подтвердили агентству Reuters предыдущую информацию губернатора Калининградской области Антона Алиханова, но от дальнейших комментариев отказались. Комментариев от литовского Министерства иностранных дел до сих пор не было.
Алиханов писал, что запрет коснется едва ли не половины грузов, ввозимых в область, в том числе угля, металлов и строительных материалов. В пятницу, 17 июня, группа литовских парламентариев выражала беспокойство, что через территорию страны может перевозиться и зерно из разграбленных хранилищ Украины. При этом в Вильнюсе подчеркивали, что все санкции против России вводятся и применяются на уровне Евросоюза.
"Потенциально это может привести к острому кризису. В российских военных Telegram-каналах обсуждается идея нанесения удара по Литве с целью пробить "сухопутный коридор" от Беларуси в Калининград. Впрочем, Литва, в отличие от Украины, член НАТО. И последствия такого шага могут быть глобальными", - комментирует Telegram-канал "Политика Страны".
Решение Литвы прокомментировал и глава "Роскосмоса" Сергей Рогозин. Он прямо намекнул Литве, что Россия может поставить под сомнение "легитимность" границ Литвы.
"Неотъемлемой частью пакета совместных решений ЕС-РФ-Литвы 2002-2003 годов по гарантированному обеспечению транзита российских грузов и, конечно, граждан Российской Федерации в/из Калининградскую область было встречное обязательство Федерального Собрания Российской Федерации о ратификации Договора о государственной границе с Литовской Республикой. Я это прекрасно помню, поскольку тогда возглавлял Комитет Госдумы по международным делам и и был спецпредставителем президента России на этих переговорах.
Если Брюссель и Вильнюс инициативно и вероломно рушат подписанный ими пакет договоренностей по Калининградскому транзиту, вступивших в силу с 1 июля 2003 года, то в Евросоюзе должны понимать последствие своего суицидного решения для легитимности своей же собственной восточной границы", - написал Рогозин.

Главное из заявления губернатора Калининградской области Антона Алиханова:
*Запрет Литвы на транзит ряда товаров железной дорогой из регионов РФ в Калининградскую область незаконен и является грубейшим нарушением.
*Транзит нефтепродуктов из регионов РФ в Калининградскую область по железной дороге не ограничен до 10 августа;
*Власти Калининградской области будут добиваться, чтобы запрет Литвы на транзит нефтепродуктов в область не действовал и после 10 августа;
*Власти Калининградской области предложат принять меры со стороны РФ, если Литва не отменит ограничения на транзит товаров в регион.
Секретарь Совета безопасности Николай Патрушев - о вероятности военного конфликта с НАТО:
* НАТО используется как инструмент внешней политики, по сути, одной страны. Делается это весьма агрессивно и усугубляет и без того непростую международную обстановку в области безопасности. Одной из ключевых составляющих агрессивной линии США и их союзников стала безоглядная экспансия НАТО. Несмотря на данные нам политические заверения, натовская инфраструктура вплотную приблизилась к российским и белорусским рубежам.
* Очевидно, что НАТО рассматривает Восточно-Европейский регион как наиболее вероятный театр военных действий. Об этом свидетельствуют проведенные в мае в 19 европейских государствах военные учения «Защитник Европы-2022».
* Угрозой считаем последовательные усилия США и их союзников по развалу интеграционных объединений, созданных на постсоветском пространстве: ОДКБ, СНГ и ЕАЭС. Превратить Евразию в полыхающее пространство с противоборствующими государствами, превращенными, подобно Украине, в марионеточные и колониальные страны - долгосрочная цель Запада.
* Как показывает анализ ситуации, количество вызовов в области информационной безопасности неуклонно растет. И такое положение дел связано, прежде всего, с нарастающими устремлениями США и их союзников обеспечить полное доминирование в информационном пространстве, диктовать всему миру собственные правила регулирования сферы использования информационно-коммуникационных технологий, не считаясь с мнением суверенных государств.
* Для обеспечения позитивного восприятия населением псевдодемократических ценностей США и их сателлитами проводятся кампании по дискредитации политического руководства стран, ведущих независимую от Вашингтона политику. Для этого используются механизмы манипуляции общественным мнением при помощи подконтрольных средств массовой информации и неправительственных организаций.

По поводу гражданки Паевской (кличка «Тайра»). По нашим данным, состоялся обмен с большим перевесом в нашу пользу, как количественно (по числу наших людей), так и качественно (по тому, кто эти наши люди).
То есть, с украинской стороны мы имеем образцовую медийную перемогу, которая работает здесь и сейчас, но которая протухает за считаные дни. Противник в таких перемогах гроссмейстер, и надо это учитывать как нашей аудитории (и не разгонять образцовую же зраду), так и нашей официальной пропаганде.
Если принято решение молчать и не разглашать детали, для такого решения есть причины. Но законы информационной войны не обмануть: если информацию не даёте вы, ее дает противник. И ваша аудитория идет слушать противника, потому что больше слушать некого.
Так что ждём официальных заявлений, хотя бы на уровне — да, обменяли, да, в нашу пользу, на кого — сказать (пока) не можем.
И люди к вам потянутся.

U.S. officials weigh doubling the number of rocket launchers sent to Ukraine
...
The Pentagon is leaning toward sending four more rocket launchers to Ukraine in the next tranche of military aid, according to two Defense Department officials.
If approved by the White House, the move would double the number of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems sent to the country, as Ukrainian and Russian forces continue their long-range artillery battle in Ukraine’s east.
The U.S. is already sending four of the HIMARS, a mobile rocket launcher, along with precision munitions that can strike targets 48 miles away. The U.K., meanwhile, is sending three units of a similar weapon, the American-made M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System, with a range of 50 miles. Germany also announced this week that it will transfer three M270s to Kyiv.
The Defense Department is still weighing all options and the decision to send four more HIMARS is not yet final, one of the DoD officials said, noting that U.S. contributions to Ukraine’s effort are made in consultation with allies and partners.
The decision will be “based on Ukrainian immediate needs,” the official said.
The two DoD officials asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record. A spokesperson for the Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The administration expects to approve a number of additional HIMARS in the upcoming package, a third U.S. official said, though this person stressed that the next tranche of aid is still being developed at the Pentagon level and the final number could change at the last minute.
“We expect to be transferring more HIMARS and more [guided] rounds soon,” the person said.
Even though the number of HIMARS would be doubled, top Ukrainian officials say they need many more such systems, along with longer-range munitions, to destroy Moscow’s artillery across a battlefield that stretches for hundreds of miles.
“The Russians are 200 kilometers on our land,” Oleksandra “Sasha” Ustinova, a member of Ukraine’s parliament, told POLITICO. “To shoot them there, we need a long range to be used on our territory, because otherwise, it’s just a ping pong game of artillery.”
Ustinova said the four HIMARS already approved won’t be enough. “We asked for 10 times more,” she said.
The internal discussions about sending more HIMARS come as top Ukrainian officials traveled to Washington this week to plead for additional aid to help their forces counter Russia’s steady advance in the Donbas. Ustinova and other officials spent the week meeting with lawmakers as well as administration officials, they said. On Saturday, Russian forces were slowly taking territory in the city of Severodonetsk, one of the last remaining Ukrainian strongholds in the region.
The Lockheed Martin-made rocket systems are a step up from the M777 howitzers — towed artillery with a range of 20 miles — the U.S. has been sending to Ukraine. The first group of 60 Ukrainians have wrapped up training on the HIMARS, and the four systems already approved to be donated will be delivered to the front lines by the end of the month, Gen. Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in Brussels this week.
Top U.S. officials say the new rocket launchers, along with precision munitions, will prove effective in countering Russia’s advancing forces in the Donbas.
“If they use the weapon properly and it’s employed properly, they ought to be able to take out a significant amount of targets,” Milley said. “That will make a difference.”
But Kyiv is asking for more — a lot more. Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is calling on the West to supply 300 rocket launchers, 500 tanks and 1,000 howitzers.
“If Ukraine is not given weapons, heavy weapons, air defense and missile defense today, then we won’t be able to survive this war,” Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar told POLITICO this week.
But not only does Kyiv want hundreds more rocket launchers, officials are also pleading for longer-range munitions. HIMARS can be outfitted with rockets that can strike targets nearly 200 miles away, but the Biden administration so far has decided not to provide the longest-range munitions for fear of provoking Vladimir Putin into escalating the conflict.
Ukrainian officials say they need the longer-range munitions to gain a critical advantage on a battlefield that now stretches for hundreds of miles.
“The problem is the front line is about 800 miles now,” David Arakhamia, the majority leader of the Ukrainian Parliament and chief negotiator between Russia and Ukraine, told POLITICO. Kyiv needs to be able to destroy Russian air defense systems from hundreds of miles away so that Ukrainian forces can use drones and other weapons without worrying they will be shot down.
The White House fears that Ukraine would use long-range rockets to strike targets inside Russia, but Arakhamia said Kyiv has assured Washington that the weapons will be used only inside Ukraine.
“We are ready to sign any guarantees in written format,” he said, even offering to vote on it in parliament. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov recently wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin making that guarantee, Ustinova said.
Still, the U.S. official said they did not expect the administration to approve long-range projectiles in the upcoming package.
Ustinova said 500 soldiers are dying or wounded on the battlefield each day.
“One of the strategies the foreign partners are looking at is exhausting Putin. I’m sorry, we are exhausting our own people. We are literally losing our people,” she said. “Four HIMARS is nothing.”

Данилов раскритиковал Подоляка за его слова о количестве оружия, которое нужно Украине
...
Секретарь Совета национальной безопасности и обороны Украины Алексей Данилов подверг критике советника главы Офиса президента Михаила Подоляка за его высказывание о том, что Украине требуется 1000 гаубиц, 300 РСЗО и 500 танков.
"Я не понимаю, почему он делает такие заявления. Он представитель Генштаба? Я его видел только на пеньках у Януковича. Не понимаю, с какого испуга он сейчас голос армии. Такие вещи должен говорить Залужный, Шаптала и министр обороны", - сказал Данилов в интервью "Лиге".
Ранее Данилов раскритиковал главу фракции "Слуг народа" Давида Арахамию за озвучивание потерь ВСУ на уровне 500 человек в день.
"Я хочу еще раз обратиться к деятелям, рассказывающим, что у нас ежедневно 200, 300 и более людей на фронте. Некоторые вообще о 1000 заявили… У них нет возможности получить такую информацию... Нужно отвечать за свои слова. И когда речь идет о погибших, такого делать ни в коем случае нельзя. Этим нельзя жонглировать. Это не кегли и не цирк. Это жизнь людей", - заявил Данилов.
Напомним, война в Украине продолжается уже 115-й день. Главные бои с армией РФ идут по-прежнему за Луганскую область - Северодонецк, Лисичанск, трассу Лисичанск-Бахмут. В Донецкой области идут бои в направлении Славянска, Святогорска. Не прекращаются обстрелы украинских городов в тылу.

"Немецкая экономика сделала выбор в пользу трубопроводных поставок газа из России, потому что он был экономически дешевле, чем сжиженный газ из Саудовской Аравии, Катара и ОАЭ, а позднее и из США", - отметила бывший канцлер. "Я верила не в то, что благодаря торговле можно было добиться перемен, а в то, что можно устанавливать связи, тем более с атомной державой", - сказала она.

Biden is 'fine' after falling off his bike in Delaware, White House says
...
(CNN)President Joe Biden is "fine," after falling off his bike Saturday during a ride in a state park near his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, a White House official said.
No medical attention is needed, the official added in a statement released to reporters traveling with the President.
"As the President said, his foot got caught on the pedal while dismounting and he is fine. No medical attention is needed. The President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family," the official said.
Biden took a tumble when he was finishing a bike ride alongside first lady Jill Biden. The President deviated from the group as he biked over to a crowd that had gathered nearby. Biden came to a stop and appeared to get his foot caught on the pedal while trying to dismount.
"I got my foot caught" on the toe cage, Biden told reporters traveling with him later. "I'm good."
US Secret Service agents quickly helped the President up after his fall.
The crowd clapped when the President, who turns 80 in November, got back on his feet. Biden then chatted with the crowd for several minutes, bringing one onlooker over to meet his dog Commander.
Asked by a child in the crowd what it was like to run the country, Biden joked, "Oh, it's like any other job."
"Some parts are easy, some parts are hard," he added.
The Bidens are spending the long weekend at their home in Rehoboth Beach, in part to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary.
