With little more than a year remaining before Russia’s next presidential elections, Aleksei Navalny, the country’s leading opposition politician, is hitting the campaign trail. Over the coming weeks he will embark on a tour from Siberia to the Black Sea, opening offices and recruiting volunteers. The fact that a Russian court recently ruled him ineligible to run has done little to change his plans. “Dance as if no one can see you, campaign as if you’re already on the ballot,” Mr Navalny quips.

Информационное агентство УНИАНVoice of America: Australian PM: Trump Wasting Time Criticizing Media by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)
U.S. President Donald Trump was wasting his time deriding the media over their coverage of his administration, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Friday, citing the example of British wartime leader Winston Churchill. Trump has repeatedly described media criticism of him as "fake news" since taking office last month, labeling the media as the "opposition party". On Thursday, he dismissed a growing controversy about ties between his aides and Russia as a "ruse" and a "scam" perpetrated by a hostile news media. Turnbull, whose relationship with Trump got off to a rocky start earlier this month, said the 45th American president should stop focusing on the media. "A very great politician, Winston Churchill, once said that politicians complaining about the newspapers is like a sailor complaining about the sea," Turnbull told reporters in New Zealand on Friday. "There is not much point. That is the media we live with and we have to get our message across and we thank you all in the media for your kind attention," he said. Turnbull is speaking from experience as he faces a constant stream of questions from domestic media about his leadership, with opinion polls showing the popularity of his center-right government sinking to its lowest in more than a year. Relations between the United States and Australia hit a low point this month when Trump said on Twitter that a planned refugee swap between the two nations was a "dumb deal". That followed a Washington Post report about an acrimonious telephone call between the two leaders that attracted headlines worldwide. Asked about his dealings with Trump, Turnbull said: "President Trump and I have had several calls now, very constructive calls. It was frank and forthright and it was very valuable." Australia is a staunch U.S. ally and is currently flying combat missions in Syria. It has also said it was open to stepping up its military commitment against the militant Islamic State group. With his promise to put "America First", Trump has also scrapped or promised to renegotiate trade deals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the North American Free Trade Agreement since coming to office, but Turnbull warned against a more protectionist U.S. trade stance. "Protectionism is not the ladder to get you out of the low growth track, it is the shovel to dig it deeper and deeper and deeper," he said.

Pence Heading to Europe to Reassure Alliesby webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence visits Munich and Brussels during the next few days, his first overseas trip since being sworn into office last month. A senior White House foreign policy advisor says the trip is "an opportunity for the vice president to reassure our allies and our partners and also to lay out our U.S. priorities for the transatlantic relationship on behalf of" U.S. President Donald Trump. European leaders have been concerned about the Trump presidency after the U.S. president's repeated expressions of admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump's description of NATO last month as "obsolete." Pence will address the Munich Security Conference Saturday where, the advisor said, Pence is "going to reassure our allies of our commitment to our European partners and the reassurance for the transatlantic alliance." The advisor said Pence will deliver the message that "we are the most secure and most prosperous when both the U.S. and Europe are strong and united." In Munich, Pence will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and several Eastern European leaders. He will also meet with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Iraqi Prime Minister Hiader al-Abadi. In Brussels, Pence will meet with several European Council and NATO leaders, including European Council President Donald Tusk and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
