Президент РФ Владимир Путин заявил, что Россия готова к совместной работе с Китаем по переводу безвизового режима между странами на постоянную основу.

Об этом он сказал на встрече с председателем КНР Си Цзиньпином на «полях» саммита Шанхайской организации сотрудничества (ШОС) в Бишкеке.

«Готовы к совместной работе по переводу безвизового режима, если китайская сторона сочтет это возможным и полезным, на постоянную основу», — приводит слова Путина «Интерфакс».

Он добавил, что туристический поток между странами за первое полугодие 2026 года увеличился на 43% благодаря безвизовому режиму.

Китай объявил о введение безвизового режима для россиян в сентябре 2025 года.

В городе Скаржиско-Каменна в центральной части Польши произошел пожар на территории предприятия, которое производит компоненты для беспилотников.

Инцидент произошел ночью в сборочном цехе, когда здание было закрыто и в нем не было людей.

Объект, на котором произошел пожар, принадлежит компании WB Electronics — крупнейшему частному производителю вооружений в стране.

На Западе в последнее время опасаются, что президент РФ Владимир Путин планирует эскалацию в отношении стран НАТО и Евросоюза.

Премьер-министр Индии Нарендра Моди на встрече с президентом России Владимиром Путиным заявил о необходимости прекращения войны в Украине.

Путин и Моди встретились в Бишкеке, где проходит саммит «Шанхайской организации сотрудничества» (ШОС).

«Каждый день войны отбрасывает человечество назад, мы должны работать над прекращением военных действий», — приводит слова Моди телеканал News18.

<…> Мы должны перейти от бесконечной войны к прекращению войны.

«Для нас есть главное условие — мы должны достичь своих целей», — сказал он.

В Белгороде в результате ракетного удара ВСУ по складу Ozon, который был нанесен 30 августа, погиб 16-летний глухой подросток Давид З. Об этом «Осторожно, новости» рассказали его родственники.

По их словам, 30 августа Давид вышел на смену на белгородский склад Ozon.

На склад он устроился для подработки на время летних каникул — подросток учился в девятом классе в спецшколе, так как был глухой.

Пошел на склад.

Вместо с Давидом на складе в тот день работали двое одноклассников, они госпитализированы.

В Средиземном море задержан танкер, который, предположительно, входит в «теневой флот», перевозящий российскую нефть в обход санкций.

Глава европейской дипломатии Кая Каллас сообщила, что военные, входящие в миссию Евросоюза IRINI в Средиземном море, поднялись на борт танкера «Сан» (MV SUN) 30 августа.

Каллас заявила, что это уже шестой подозрительный танкер, который задерживают участники IRINI за последние месяцы.

В начале августа сообщалось, что итальянские военные моряки задержали для проверки танкер Toa Payoh, который, как предполагается, входит в «теневой флот».

Миссия IRINI была создана в 2020 году для контроля соблюдения эмбарго на поставки оружия в Ливию.

Расследование причин миграционного кризиса в Сеуте продолжается, однако в соцсетях появилось множество фейков и дезинформации, заявил премьер-министр Испании Педро Санчес в эфире радио Cadena Ser.

Санчес добавил, что фейки распространялись через сети аккаунтов, «связанные как с Россией, так и с Израилем, а также с ультраправым интернационалом, который всегда использует тему миграции для атак не только на Испанию, но и на Европу».

В начале июля испанский Верховный суд постановил, что мигрантов, задержанных при попытке вплавь добраться до Сеуты или Мелильи (это эксклавы Испании в Северной Африке), нельзя возвращать обратно в упрощенном порядке.

Италия пригрозила приостановкой Шенгенского согл…

Об этом в интервью РБК заявил бывший министр финансов РФ (1997 — 1999 годы) и бывший глава банка «Открытие» Михаил Задорнов.

По его словам, военная экономика в России — «это фантазия чистой воды».

Военная экономика — полный слом работающей системы, под нее нужны свои институты, иные правила игры, которые должны быть закреплены в десятках и сотнях законодательных актов.

В последний месяц в России активно возобновились дискуссии о состоянии экономики, в том числе о необходимости перевести ее «на военные рельсы».

Мэр Москвы Сергей Собянин говорил, что перевод экономики на военные рельсы убьет страну.

Дело только за тем, чтобы Запад согласился на нужный уровень цинизма, и тогда русские раскроются и наконец-то расскажут, чего они на самом деле хотят и на что в действительности согласны.

В то время как российская сторона и в конфиденциальной обстановке продолжает разговаривать штампами собственной пропаганды.

Хозяина Кремля так и не удалось вернуть от исторических лекций к теме дня — надвигающейся войне и попыткам ее предотвратить.

Не только российские дипломаты и официальные эксперты перестали искать точки пересечения и заговорили языком пропаганды.

Путин, похоже, действительно исходил из того, что Трамп готов и в состоянии заставить Украину и своих союзников выполнить условия Москвы.

Если вы живете в Украине, коснулся ли вас лично дефицит продовольствия из-за российских ударов?

В середине августа The Economist сообщал, что в Украине в магазинах появились пустые полки.

То же самое рассказывают собеседники «Медузы» в Украине.

По ее словам, продуктов питания в Украине достаточно, но из-за кризиса логистики производители не всегда успевают вовремя их доставить.

Однако мы в соответствии с кодексом «Медузы» не публикуем сообщения, в которых содержится «язык ненависти», оправдывается убийство мирных людей, выражается прямая поддержка агрессивной войны.

В новом учебном году школы в России сделают больший упор на патриотическое воспитание. В обширном списке мер Ксения Лученко увидела не только изъяны, но и главный посыл, уводящий в мир животных.

Немецкие СМИ пишут, что власти Германии хотят возложить на Россию вину за найденный в аэропорту Лейпцига дрон со взрывчаткой. Обозреватели анализируют, что в связи с этим Берлин намерен предпринять в ответ против Москвы.

Илон Маск говорил Михаилу Федорову, что не против использования ВСУ дронов со Starlink для ударов по России, пишет FT. Но решение об этом, по словам миллиардера, лежит на властях США.

Завод польской оружейной компании WB Electronics в городе Скаржиско-Каменна загорелся в ночь на 31 августа. По данным местных СМИ, камеры видеонаблюдения запечатлели на территории человека в балаклаве.

Си Цзиньпин и Садыр Жапаров подписали в Бишкеке договор о "вечном добрососедстве, дружбе и сотрудничестве". Председатель КНР прибыл в Кыргызстан с государственным визитом и примет участие в саммите ШОС.

Берлин скоро объявит, кто стоит за инцидентом с дроном в аэропорту Лейпцига и каким будет ответ. Расследование еще не завершено. В бундестаге призывают к жестким мерам в адрес РФ, которую подозревают в диверсии.

На закрытом заседании Мосгорсуд подтвердил решение Замоскворецкого суда, приговорившего к семи годам колонии зампредседателя партии "Яблоко" Максима Круглова по делу о "фейках" о российской армии.

На пермячку, оштрафованную по протоколу о «дискредитации» за комментарий о «фашистах», завели дело об оправдании терроризмаВ Центральный окружной военный суд 27 августа поступило уголовное дело об оправдании терроризма в интернете против 58-летней жительницы Перми Маргариты Замориной, заметила «Медиазона».

В сентябре 2025 года Заморину оштрафовали на 30 тысяч рублей по протоколу о «дискредитации» армии за комментарий во «ВКонтакте» к посту уральского этнолога и старовера Вячеслава Печняка, который в январе 2023 года выступил против сноса исторических зданий в Екатеринбурге.

ФСБ задержала двоих крымчан по обвинению в работе на украинскую разведкуСотрудники ФСБ отчитались о задержании двоих крымчан по подозрению в госизмене (статья 275 УК) и незаконном обороте взрывчатки (часть 3 статьи 222.1 УК).

Как добавляют силовики, задержанные — брат и сестра 1968 и 1974 годов рождения.

Утверждается, что крымчане передавали украинской разведке информацию о перемещениях российской техники и объектах Минобороны.

По информации ФСБ, брат и сестра были завербованы через неназванный мессенджер.

На видео, которое распространили силовики, задержанные признают свою вину.

16‑летнего подростка из Архангельской области отправили в СИЗО по делу о связи с терроризмом и экстремистских призывахНа 16-летнего подростка из Шенкурского района Архангельской области завели уголовное дело о связи с террористической организацией и призывах к экстремизму в интернете, сообщило местное управление СК.

По версии следствия, с ноября 2025 года несовершеннолетний создал «общедоступный канал» в интернете с видео и «пропагандой идеологии запрещенной организации» — какой именно, в СК не раскрывают.

Также подростку вменили «материалы с видеозаписями», в которых усмотрели экстремистские призывы против «определенной группы лиц».

Следствие не раскрывает имени обвиняемого, однако, судя п…

Да это и не в их власти.

За то, что они хотят видеть политическое представительство своих взглядов, своих потребностей в нормализации жизни, в Государственной думе.

Подобная реакция, на мой взгляд, абсолютно внеисторична, антипатриотична, она лежит в рамках очень дурно понимаемого псевдопатриотизма и даже, скорее, не в этих рамках и не в этом русле, а в русле очень дурно, превратно и эгоистично понимаемых своих ведомственных даже интересов.

И в этом смысле очень символично, что наш герб в виде двуглавого орла всегда смотрит в разные стороны.

Уничтожение этого многообразия как раз и является преступлением против страны и разделением этого царства.

В Петербурге начали судить депортированную из Турции экс‑студентку колледжа полиции Ариадну ЛитвиновуКуйбышевский районный суд Петербурга приступил к рассмотрению по существу дела о повторной «дискредитации» армии (часть 2 статьи 280.3 УК) против депортированной из Турции экс-студентки колледжа полиции Ариадны Литвиновой.

В конце 2025 года обвинение ужесточили.

В конце августа 2025 года Литвинова уехала в Турцию, где у нее живет отец.

Отец Литвиновой рассказал журналистам «Би-би-си», что у его дочери закончился срок законного пребывания в Турции.

До 2023 года Ариадна Литвинова училась в полицейском колледже в Тушине, но ушла из него из-за пропаганды войны, рассказывала она.

В Каменске‑Уральском депутата‑единоросса сняли с местных выборов по иску соперницы от «Новых людей»Синарский районный суд Каменска-Уральского 30 августа отменил единороссу Эдуарду Чешихину регистрацию на выборах в городскую думу по иску кандидатки от «Новых людей», юристки Юлии Майоровой.

Поводом для иска стали три предвыборных баннера Чешихина, которые были размешены с нарушением требований к агитации: даты голосования занимали меньше 3% площади баннера, на них также не было логотипа ЦИК, писал паблик «Инцидент Каменск-Уральский».

Чешихин и Майорова были главными конкурентами на своем округе №5, отмечало сообщество «Типичный Каменск-Уральский» до снятия единоросса с выборов.

Школьников охватила эпидемия плоскостопия — число обращений к врачам подскочило на 40% за последние два года в России. Пацаны, от армии не откосите. Ортопеды говорят, проблема в дешёвой обуви: после ухода зарубежных брендов, выросли заказы кросс на маркетплейсах, где качество бывает так себе. К 10 годам стойкое плоскостопие сохраняется примерно у 4% детей. Среди жителей мегаполисов нарушение находят у 40–60% людей, у студентов — 44,5%. Узкая колодка, неподходящий размер и слишком плоская подошва передают "привет" давлению в ногах. Универсальные дешёвые стельки не спасут.

Кур понесли в МФЦ из-за обязательного учёта домашней птицы. С 1 сентября владельцы личного подсобного хозяйства, у которых больше десяти пернатых (куры, утки, гуси, индейки и т. д., вплоть до страусов), должны зарегистрировать своё поголовье в госсистеме "Хорриот".

Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado is planning to return to the country as soon as possible, according to people with direct knowledge of her plans, a move that could reshape the political landscape as acting President Delcy Rodríguez struggles to respond to the nation’s worst natural disaster in decades.

Several US officials have told Machado they’re worried her return could cause a confrontation with the current regime and distract from rescue efforts, the people said.

But views are split, and she has received some encouragement from within the Trump administration, they said.

It’s unclear whether the concerns among some Trump aides will delay her plans.

Argentine President Javier Milei ’s cabinet chief resigned Saturday after struggling for months to defuse corruption allegations, becoming the most high-profile departure since the libertarian leader took office.

Manuel Adorni , one of Milei’s most loyal lieutenants, stepped aside amid an ongoing investigation into real estate purchases and luxury travel on a private jet despite earning a government salary.

The US conducted a fresh round of strikes against multiple targets in Iran on Saturday, the military said.

The UK government will commit more than £500 million ($660 million) to transform its elite Commando Force, as it shifts defense spending to focus more on the front line and NATO security.

Defense Secretary Dan Jarvis , who took up the post just weeks ago after predecessor John Healey quit in a row over defense funding, has reworked a long-delayed investment plan to prioritize the army’s rapid-reaction force and strengthen NATO’s deterrence and defense in the Arctic region, known in military terms as the High North, according to a statement on Saturday.

President Donald Trump said he will nominate Lance Schroyer as director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, his first pick to hold the job permanently in his second term.

Trump said in a social-media post on Saturday that Schroyer is a former Oklahoma state trooper and US Marine.

AI has an image problem. And one way to fix it is for top companies to dive headlong into health care.Why it matters: Saving the world with AI-designed cures is better than being blamed for ruining the environment or driving up Americans' utility bills.But even the most advanced AI models can't produce miracle treatments at the moment — and could create serious security risks if they try.That could set up a fraught debate over the next two or three years about the allocation of resources and whether the benefits of throwing vast amounts of computing capacity into medical research outweigh the costs.

The controversial fashion designer John Galliano announced on Monday that an exhibition honoring his work that New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art had scheduled to open for the upcoming spring’s Met Gala is not going to go forward.

The museum’s decision to honor Galliano, who was convicted of a hate crime by a French court in 2011 after a series of racist and antisemitic remarks, had drawn controversy and backlash.

The exhibition, titled John Galliano: Horizons, was announced in early August and was set to have been kicked off by the annual Met Gala.

An international tribunal has ordered India to "observe its obligations" under a water-treaty with Pakistan.

The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague has ordered India to uphold a water-sharing treaty with Pakistan which has led to a recent increase in tensions between the two neighbors.

A flood has devastated communities along the China-Nepal border, but in Tibet the disaster was followed by a digital crackdown.

Satiety as a shield: the art of 'saturated' censorshipThe suppression of the Gyirong Port disaster reflects a broader shift in Beijing's strategy: from mass deletion to "precision surgery" and narrative flooding.

On August 27, a hashtag briefly slipped through the censors and trended on Weibo: "Gyirong Port Reopened Only Half a Year Ago."

In July 2025, Gyirong Port was completely shut down after being devastated by another severe flash flood.

Canada faces new US import penalties after Prime Minister Mark Carney refused to match US tariffs on China.

Other countries are watching as the Trump trade clash turns into a fight over economic sovereignty.

Canada has been quietly praised for refusing to fold under pressure from US President Donald Trump in the long-running fight over trade tariffs.

The government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will extend its suspension of the Schengen free movement agreement with Spain for another 15 days at least, Italian media reported on Monday.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr ’s birthday serenade for his wife might have been a private gesture, but as floodwaters overwhelmed much of Luzon – the country’s largest and most populous island and home to the capital Manila – a viral clip of him singing became a public-relations crisis.

Spanish opposition parties and some human rights groups have accused Rabat of deliberately allowing the mass crossing, an accusation Morocco has denied.

“When people talk and speculate about the participation of Moroccan authorities, ⁠I deny this outright,” Sanchez told radio station SER.

He has maintained his innocence and fought the conviction for more than two decades.

In late July, a Manila court ruled that Tang’s sentence was fully served after factoring in good conduct time a…
