Sudan has suspended the effect of its agreement signed with Russia to build a naval base in the country, Al Arabiya TV reported on Wednesday.
According to the channel, the agreement "signed by Moscow with the previous regime" is suspended "until it is approved by the legislature." Khartoum has already notified Moscow.

Didn't Teresa May threaten Putin that they would be investigating super Rich Russians in the UK for the purposes of putting pressure on them... and he said go right ahead because most of them are there evading Russian tax law anyway.
