The Editorial Board of the WSJ says the vote in the German parliament 586 in favor and 100 opposing for sending heavy weapons to Ukraine brings Germany and the US, Britain and France closer in efforts to turn back the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The resolution of support for Ukraine clearly states the German parliamentary position says WSJ- efforts for a ceasefire that will be agreed to by Ukraine and western allies. The Scholz government is asked in the resolution to support "all efforts by the a Ukrainian government to reach a ceasefire in direct negotiations with the Russian leadership." It also states "it must be clear that there can be no negotiations over the heads of the Ukrainians." WSJ says it hopes chancellor Scholz listens to the German parliament with 586 out of 686 calling for efforts to turn back the invasion in coordination with allied efforts.

Mexican president Lopez Obrador overhauled the way the Mexican government buys pharmaceutical supplies to avoid being overcharged by suppliers. This has led to some shortages.The government says this has led to significant savings. It says the government paid out 58% more for medicines and acquired 38% less in medical supplies under the previous arrangements. The Mexican government first handed purchases of all drugs to the Finance Ministry and then in mid 2020 to a UN agency, the UN Office for Project Services which will handle purchases till 2024.
The UN agency says it secured 97% of the supplies but only 44% of the medicine has reached hospitals across Mexico, according to Insabi the agency set up by president Lobrador to provide access to medical care to people without social security. This is because of logistical problems.

Energy tax cuts that would save Germans 900 euros a year are a good idea says this WSJ editorial opinion, and something the US should consider. One of the taxes energy levy EEG added 3.72 cents per kilowatt hour to household electricity bills is a tax started 20 years ago. The EEG is being phased out. Other tax changes in Germany to help households tackle inflation are the increase in tax allowance making the first 10,347 euros of annual income tax free.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
