Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, said that the current situation in Ukraine should not be seen as Russia taking an “operational pause”, as Russian forces have carried out 34 airstrikes in Ukraine today alone. Source: Zelenskyy in a video address Quote from Zelenskyy: “Last week, there was a lot of talk about the so-called ‘operational pause’ that the occupiers were supposedly doing in Donbass and other regions of Ukraine. The 34 airstrikes carried out by Russian aircraft [on the territory of Ukraine – ed....

Comment The recently opened Russian alternative to McDonald’s — which left the country in May over Russia’s war in Ukraine — is both a fast-food chain and a currency in Moscow’s propaganda campaigns. In a shortage wrought with symbolism, Vkusno i Tochka, which translates as “Tasty and that’s it,” is limiting the sale of fries this summer because it is unable to source enough potatoes, the company told Russian state news agency Tass Friday....

Although pro-Kremlin media often praise the actions of officers and soldiers, they prefer not to highlight the achievements of senior military commanders. “If there was a general that people listened to all the time, someone who was often in the news, he would inevitably become popular. He would take credit for the win. Who knows what this popularity among war supporters could turn into,” a source close to the Kremlin told Meduza, an opposition website....

Vers 10 h samedi, la police de Terrebonne a reçu un appel au sujet d’un homme de 36 ans qui aurait tenu des propos suicidaires et qui était possiblement armé à sa résidence de la Place du Clair-Bois. Selon la Sûreté du Québec, l’homme était seul. La police s’est immédiatement rendue sur les lieux pour vérifier l’état de l’homme et a tenté de le contacter, mais en vain. Le corps de la victime a été retrouvé vers 16 h et transporté en ambulance à l’hôpital, où il a été déclaré mort, a indiqué la police de Terrebonne....

Article écrit par La députée de La France insoumise et présidente de la commission des finances de l’Assemblée nationale fait l’objet d’une enquête pour harcèlement et agressions sexuelles. Sandrine Rousseau prend la parole après que le parquet de Paris a ouvert une enquête pour harcèlement et agressions sexuelles visant Eric Coquerel. L’élu écologiste a estimé, vendredi 15 juillet, sur le plateau des “4 Vérités” de France 2, que la députée La France insoumise “ne peut pas présider les réunions de la commission économique [de l’Assemblée nationale] Ce “retrait” permettrait, selon elle, “de dérouler l’enquête policière totalement indépendante des reportages médiatiques”....

The White House said on Friday that Saudi Arabia has committed to increasing oil production in July and August – a move that will help “significantly stabilize markets”. The commitment from Saudi Arabia came after bilateral meetings between President Biden and administration officials and King Salman bin Abdulaziz al Said and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well as Saudi ministers. “Saudi Arabia is committed to supporting the rebalancing of the global oil market for sustained economic growth,” the White House said....

The head of the Japanese branch of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, often known as the Moonies, confirmed that the mother of suspect Tetsuya Yamagami was a member of the church. But branch president Tomihiro Tanaka declined to comment on suggestions of large donations from Yamagami’s mother that had put the family under severe financial stress, and said gifts to the church from members were voluntary. For decades, the close ties between the Moonies and powerful figures in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party have been a little-discussed open secret in Japanese politics....

Returnal wurde am 30. April 2021 exklusiv für PlayStation 5 veröffentlicht. Der schurkenhafte Third-Person-Shooter ist das bisher ambitionierteste Projekt des Entwicklers Housemarque, der vor etwa einem Jahr von Sony übernommen wurde. Inzwischen mehren sich die Anzeichen für einen bevorstehenden PC-Port. Im Mai erschien ein Spiel mit dem Codenamen Oregon in der inoffiziellen Steam-Datenbank SteamDB. Einige der Lokalisierungszeichenfolgen, die die Namen von Regionen oder Orten im Sci-Fi-Spiel tragen, haben den Rückkehrhafen verraten....

Ab morgen früh wird die letzte wichtigste Verbindung für russisches Erdgas nach Deutschland gekappt. Jährliche Wartungsarbeiten an der Ostseepipeline Nord Stream 1 machen dies notwendig – das hat der Betreiber längst angekündigt. Zehn Tage (bis 21. Juli) sind für die Wartungsarbeiten angesetzt – doch die Bundesregierung befürchtet nun, dass der Reparaturstopp zu einer dauerhaften Stilllegung der Pipeline führen könnte. Macht Putin endgültig Gas? Bundesfinanzminister Robert Habeck Foto: Fabian Sommer/dpa...

How did the novel begin? I was just out of the way, it was summer and I was living in Brooklyn and spending my time in Prospect Park. I would just take a notebook and some books and no electronics at all, and almost all the characters came to me then. It was so hot, sometimes I think it was thermal hallucinations. They arrived with nothing but their most extreme qualities, and so the five-year project before me was to make these eccentric behaviors not only believable but inevitable in these people....

The facts in the report also made it clear that neither existing gun laws, nor the expanded background checks passed by Congress in response to the shooting, would have prevented the gunman, Salvador Ramos, from obtaining the gun he used. Although some of his peers referred to him as a “school shooter,” the gunman had no documented history that would prevent him from purchasing a gun. The Republican-controlled Texas Legislature has so far not considered any legislation to restrict firearms in response to the Uvalde shooting, focusing much of its attention during public hearings on police response and school safety....

BEIJING (AP) — Losing money because of COVID, the U.S. casino giants that helped make Macau the “Las Vegas of Asia” face a new challenge: The tiny Chinese territory wants to reduce its reliance on gambling by paying for construction of theme parks and other attractions. The former Portuguese colony has been left out of business decisions for decades and is now aligned with the official strategy in mainland China, where foreign companies are called upon to help pay for the ruling Communist Party’s development ambitions, profitable or not....

The Vancouver Canucks weren’t as quiet as expected on the first day of free agency. They may not have signed any of the big names, but they did find a mid-sized name, signing Ilya Mikheyev to a four-year deal. Mikheyev’s contract has a cap hit of $4.75 million, which is a bit more than most expected the Canucks to spend. But there’s a lot to like about Mikheyev’s game, and it’s interesting to speculate about where he might fit....

A second image shows them leaning on the hood of a car, with Donovan kissing his on-screen sweetheart on the forehead. Minogue shared the images with her 2....

The military said it targeted an underground Hamas facility for the production of rocket materials in the central Gaza Strip. Palestinians reported several strikes near Gaza City just before 5am. Videos and photos on social media show large fireballs rising after strikes on unspecified targets. “The site targeted was one of the largest and most important sites in the Strip for the production of key materials for missiles by terrorist groups,” the military said, arguing that the strike would significantly delay missile manufacturing....
