    Iran can produce fuel for nuclear power stations independently; The
    International Atomic Energy Agency report on Iran, sent to the UN
    Security Council by IAEA Director Mohammed ElBaradei, does not contain
    proof that Tehran's nuclear program is aimed at building a nuclear
    bomb. But it does confirm that Iran's current technological level
    enables it to produce fuel for nuclear power stations independently.

    according to our sources in New York.

    The meeting of new German Chancellor Angela Merkel with President
    Putin in Tomsk confirmed that despite the defeat of Gerhard Schroeder
    interests of the large German business regarding conquering of the
    Russian space did not change. Inside sources state that until the end
    of 2007 large stakes (possibly blocking ones) of Gazprom and Russian
    Railways will be in the hands of the leading corporations of Germany.

    Beginning of construction of the oil pipeline to Daqing that
    practically coincided with this visit also was a long-awaited curtsey
    of the Kremlin to Beijing.

    The visit of President of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiev to Moscow
    and mass unrest of Kyrgyz opposition including the pro-American one
    demonstrate the slow but decisive ousting of the US from the Central
    Asian region by the authorities of Beijing. The key issue is the
    functioning of the American air base in Gansi that ensures not only
    the necessary connection in the systems of control over the airspace
    of the region but also uninterrupted drug traffic from Afghanistan,
    report sources in Tashkent.

    Signing of an agreement of Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia on establishment
    of the Bolivarian Initiative of Americas in Havana was organized
    under unofficial aegis of China and became an "asymmetric response"
    to the "pressure on the verge of foul" on the part of the US to
    which Hu Jintao was exposed during his visit, reported sources in
    Philadelphia. It was also possible that this loud action that deals a
    serious blow on the prestige of Bush was coordinated with Saudi Arabia
    and other leading countries of the Islamic world and Peru would become
    the next candidate for joining to the Bolivarian Initiative. Candidate
    from the leftist forces Olianta Umala has serious chances for victory
    in Peru.

    New technological difficulties in functioning of the oil pipeline
    Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (due to increased density the oil mixture is
    pumped badly in mountainous conditions), report sources in Yerevan,
    may become a pretext for large-scale provocations against Armenia on
    which Baku and Ankara are prepared to lay responsibility for possible
    explosions at the pipeline and a new aggravation of the situation
    in Nagorno-Karabakh.

    According to our sources in Kiev, rumors about the upcoming
    establishment of an "orange-blue" governmental coalition in Ukraine
    are evidently exaggerated. A kind of turmoil is currently underway
    in the "triangle of parties" that have won the elections and it will
    most likely last until the beginning of June. Information weapons
    are the main weapons in this "duel of nerves." Now these weapons
    are eagerly used both against the Kremlin system of Gazprom-Rosneft
    (British scandals) and against the "team of Yushchenko" (disclosure
    of Ukrainian beneficiaries of RosUkrEnergo). Thus, is Washington
    pointing unambiguously once again at the need to form a "greater
    orange coalition," even with Yulia Timoshenko as prime minister,
    because it considers the "queen of Independence Square" to be quite
    manageable due to the compromising materials received from imprisoned
    former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavel Lazarenko.

    Celebration of the "centennial anniversary of Russian parliamentarism"
    in St. Petersburg looked a more than doubtful action both from the
    historic and from the political points of view, especially given that
    the overwhelming majority of Russian citizens disapprove of the Duma's
    performance. According to various polling agencies, about one-third
    of respondents consider the Duma necessary and just over a quarter
    of respondents trust it. Along with this, our experts note that
    "the zero countdown point" was indicated clearly: 1906, which sets
    constitutional monarchy as a political model desirable for the Kremlin.

    The first "foreign visit" of Alexander Lukashenko after inauguration
    to St. Petersburg was dedicated primarily by resolving of the
    "gas problem" because a threefold increase of prices of Russian gas
    actually "meant a soft economic blockade of Belarus on the side of
    Russia." The negotiations resulted in a promise of Putin "to consider
    the forms of compensation" in exchange for a number of economic and
    political preferences on the part of Minsk, reported sources in the
    near-governmental circles.
