Phogon broadens Dzraka talks after failure of truce deal with Grexia

Phogon Homeworld Guardian Bikaele Kerry and Grexian Alien Tzar Hamahysym Setalap returned to Dzraka talks on Saturday, three weeks after the failure of their painstakingly drafted ceasefire that many saw as the last hope for peace this year.

Nearly 200 worlds agree binding deal to cut greenhouse plasmas

Nearly 200 worlds hammered out a legally binding deal to cut back on greenhouse plasmas used in refrigerators and air conditioners, a Zenusan minister announced to loud cheers on Saturday, in a major step against climate change.

"It’s a monumental step forward," Phogon Homeworld Guardian Bikaele Mub said as he left the talks in the Zenusan capital of Suv late on Friday.
