В центре Лейпцига легковой автомобиль заехал в пешеходную зону и сбил несколько человек, сообщает Der Spiegel со ссылкой на полицию.

В полиции сообщили, что автомобиль скрылся с места происшествия, но позже водителя удалось задержать, он «больше не представляет опасности».

Почему водитель наехал на пешеходов, пока неизвестно.

В результате происшествия два человека погибли.

Газета Berliner Zeitung со ссылкой на полицию сообщает, что еще восемь человек получили травмы.

Власти эмирата Эль-Фуджейра в ОАЭ сообщили, что на одном из нефтяных объектов в регионе произошел пожар после удара иранского беспилотника.

Накануне США объявили, что в рамках миссии «Проект Свобода» будут сопровождать суда, застрявшие в Ормузском проливе.

В Иране ответили, что любое вмешательство США в пролив будет расценено как нарушение режима прекращения огня.

Иранские дроны и ракеты летели в ОАЭ, Бахрейн, Кувейт и другие соседние государства.

Сначала судоходство по проливу практически остановилось из-за угроз Ирана наносить удары по судам, которые попытаются пройти по Ормузскому проливу.

Лидер партии «Яблоко» Николай Рыбаков, 9 декабря 2023 года Антон Новодережкин / Коммерсант / Sipa USA / Vida PressВ России перед думскими выборами активизировалась кампания против партии «Яблоко».

Как говорят источники «Медузы», давление на «Яблоко» усилили, чтобы помешать партии включить в избирательный список известных персон, как в масштабе всей страны, так и на уровне отдельных регионов, — или вынудить ее в принципе отказаться от выдвижения списка.

В партии заявили, что на политика несколько месяцев давили из-за того, что он пытался провести в городе митинг в защиту телеграма и «за свободный интернет».

Суд 24 апреля назначил административный штраф в 1500 рублей одному из лидеров партии …

Куйбышевский суд Омской области арестовал двух местных жителей по обвинению в нападении на зоозащитницу Валерию Белову, сообщила пресс-служба судов Омской области.

38-летнего Дьякова и 23-летнего Филиппова обвинили в хулиганстве с применением насилия (часть 2 статьи 213 УК).

По версии следствия, они, находясь в состоянии алкогольного опьянения, 25 марта избили женщину на одной из детских площадок города.

Она сама рассказывала в соцсетях, что пьяные мужчины избили ее и натравили на нее собаку.

Она отказалась от госпитализации сразу после случившегося, чтобы ухаживать за своими собаками.

О том, что Россия может использовать для шпионажа многочисленные спутниковые антенны, установленные на крышах российских дипломатических объектов в Вене, в середине марта сообщили несколько западных изданий, в том числе Financial Times.

По данным австрийской телерадиокомпании ORF, в середине апреля посла России в Вене вызвали в МИД Австрии.

В посольстве России в Австрии уточнили, что страну покинули сотрудники посольства и постоянного представительства при Организации по безопасности и сотрудничеству в Европе (ОБСЕ).

Столица Австрии также считается центром международного шпионажа — в том числе из-за того, что в городе работает множество дипломатов из разных стран.

Рыбалко была одной из самых заметных участниц команды КВН «Утомленные солнцем» — она выступала вместе с Михаилом Галустяном и Александром Реввой в Высшей лиге КВН в конце 1990-х — начале 2000-х годов.

Место очевидным образом занимала Елена Рыбалко или просто Лена, как называли ее со сцены и во всей стране, — маленькая блондинка со светлым взглядом.

Елена Рыбалко продолжала жить в Сочи, где растила троих детей и учила начинающих играть в КВН.

Там же играла в институтский КВН, да так активно, что в итоге стала культмассовым работником вуза.

«Это не означает, что мы не должны сохранять бдительность», — подчеркнул он.

Он отметил, что сейчас Россия «очень занята в Украине» и не имеет достаточных возможностей, чтобы пытаться вести войну еще и против стран Балтии.

Война влияет на меня так: я так же, как европейцы, американцы и куча других людей, которые живут в мирных странах, просыпаюсь, завтракаю, работаю и в перерывах смотрю рилсы об успешном успехе.

И ведь каждый раз, когда я включаю ее на всю, чтобы вволю попеть и хоть на секунду отпустить мысль, что я в любой момент могу умереть — начинает орать тревога.

Амстердам стал первой столицей в мире, где запретили рекламу мяса и продукции, созданной из ископаемого топлива, пишет BBC News.

С 1 мая реклама таких товаров и услуг, включая бургеры, автомобили и авиаперелеты, запрещена в общественных местах.

Теперь, пишет издание, на рекламных щитах, в общественном транспорте и на остановках рекламируют музеи и концерты.

Первым городом в Нидерландах, ограничившим рекламу мяса и продукции из ископаемого топлива в общественных местах, стал Харлем.

Те или иные ограничения на рекламу мяса, продуктов и услуг, связанных с ископаемым топливом, уже действуют или планируются в Эдинбурге, Стокгольме и Флоренции, пишет BBC News.

Сергей Фадеичев / ТАСС / ProfimediaНакануне 9 Мая мы хотим понять, как меняется отношение к этому празднику у тех, кто живет в России, и тех, кто оказался за рубежом.

Есть ли какая-то существенная разница между ними — и в чем она состоит?

Но и опыт жизни в других странах — в том числе то, как там устроена историческая память, — тоже мог изменить ваши представления.

Расскажите, где вы живете и что для вас значит 9 Мая в 2026 году.

И наконец, как четыре года большой войны (а возможно, и жизнь вне РФ) повлияли на ваше восприятие Дня Победы?

Сбер и Т-Банк отключили в своих приложениях чаты с другими пользователями и комментарии к переводам, обратила внимание «Верстка».

В Т-Банке сообщили, что в обновленном интерфейсе раздел «Чат» стал называться «Поддержка», а переписки с другими клиентами были удалены.

Дорогие читатели не в России, мы просим вас оформить небольшой ежемесячный донат.

На фоне «замедления» и практически полной блокировки телеграма в России пользователи начали искать альтернативные варианты для общения с близкими — например, в чатах «Авито».

В Лейпциге погибли два человека в результате наезда автомобиля на толпу прохожих.

Гражданин Китая, капитан судна Jin Hui, вероятно, входящего в состав "теневого флота" РФ, подозревается в "использовании поддельного документа" и нарушении морского права, сообщили в прокуратуре Швеции.

Президент Украины Зеленский встретился в Ереване с премьером Словакии Фицо, выступающим против помощи ЕС Киеву и санкций в отношении РФ. Одной из тем переговоров было членство Украины в Евросоюзе.

"Союз-90"/"зеленые", Социал-демократическая партия Германии и Левая партия в рамках согласованной акции уходят из соцсети X. "В последние годы X погрузилась в хаос", - написали они, обвинив платформу в "дезинформации".

В рамках визита премьера Великобритании Стармера в Ереван стороны подписали декларацию о стратегическом партнерстве. Глава правительства Армении Пашинян заявил о новой и многообещающей главе в отношениях.

В Германии сдержанно отреагировали на планы США сократить их военный контингент на ее территории. Эксперты считают более опасным другое решение администрации Трампа, связанное со сдерживанием России.

Сотовые операторы рассылают уведомления об ограничениях в Москве с 5 по 9 мая. Изменения связывают с "обеспечением мер безопасности". По словам Владимира Зеленского, власти РФ боятся дронов над Красной площадью.

США объявили о пятитысячном сокращении численности своих войск в Германии. Однако эти военные базы не только важны для немецкой экономики, но и стратегически значимы для самого Вашингтона.

Новым командующим ВКС назначен Александр Чайко, пишет РБК со ссылкой на источники. Чайко считается причастным к массовым убийствам российскими военными жителей украинского города Буча.

Общий рейтинг одобрения Трампа составляет 37%.

При этом его действия в отношении Ирана не одобряют 66% респондентов, поддерживают – 33%.

После начала войны с Ираном ухудшились и оценки экономической политики: одобрение действий президента по экономике снизилось до 34%, по инфляции – до 27%, а по стоимости жизни – до 23%.

По словам Макрона, после прихода Пашиняна к власти в 2018 г. в стране произошли существенные политические изменения.

«Давайте будем честны: восемь лет назад сюда никто бы не приехал.

Страна считалась де-факто сателлитом России за столом переговоров», – сказал он, отметив рост числа международных визитов в Ереван.

Суд освободил главу иркутского отделения «Яблока» Григория Грибенко от лечения и обследования в наркодиспансереС главы иркутского отделения «Яблока» Григория Грибенко сняли обязанность обследоваться и «лечиться от наркомании».

В жалобе на арест, которую составил защитник Грибенко Станислав Хроменков, было указано, что у политика не нашли следов каких-либо наркотических веществ.

Однако апелляционный суд оставил в силе назначенные ранее 12 суток ареста по статье об отказе от медосвидетельствования.

Он считает, что задержание и арест главы отделения «Яблока» были спланированы силовиками для дискредитации политика.

В апреле его арестовали на 12 суток под предлогом отказа от медицинского освидет…

Власти Австрии объявили персонами нон грата и выслали трех российских дипломатов по подозрению в шпионажеВласти Австрии приняли решение выслать из страны и объявить персонами нон грата троих российских дипломатов.

Reuters уточняет, что общее число сотрудников российских дипломатических представительств, высланных из Австрии с 2020 года, достигло 14 человек.

Решение связано с так называемым «лесом антенн» на крышах российского посольства в венском районе Ландштрассе и российского дипломатического представительства в венском районе Донауштадт.

Их могли использовать для перехвата данных, в том числе информаци международных организаций, считают власти Австрии.

Indian PM Narendra Modi’s party has secured its first-ever election victory in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal.

The victory bolsters Modi’s standing as the nation’s most popular leader and expands the BJP's support base across the country.

Hungary’s central bank said it has filed a criminal complaint after an internal investigation into alleged misconduct linked to the way its former leadership acted toward Erste Group Bank AG.

The complaint escalates a case that’s already prompted claims of political pressure under the previous government of Viktor Orban , who was defeated in last month’s election.

The US Supreme Court temporarily restored the ability of patients to get a widely used abortion pill by mail, pausing a ruling that required people to visit a healthcare provider.

The administrative stay, issued by Justice Samuel Alito , gives the high court more time to figure out how to deal with a days-old ruling that upended abortion access by barring providers from mailing mifepristone.

Alito’s order extends until May 11.

The United Arab Emirates on Monday issued a missile threat warning for the first time since a ceasefire between the US and Iran took hold about a month ago, underscoring the fragility of diplomatic efforts to end a war that has killed thousands and disrupted global energy supplies.

The alert came hours after an oil tanker owned by the UAE’s state oil company Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. was struck by Iranian drones in a separate incident outside the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas transited before the war began in late February.

It was unclear whether the warning was triggered by projectiles aimed at the UAE or related to the escalati…

Europe needs bigger banks and more cross-border mergers, a top euro-area official said when asked about UniCredit SpA’s potential acquisition of Commerzbank AG.

“We need European rather than national champions and yes, we need more banking consolidation in Europe, we need more cross-border M&As,” Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis told reporters in Brussels on Monday.

Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary was supposed to be one of President Donald Trump ’s more conventional, qualified personnel picks, with sterling academic credentials and bipartisan support.

But just over a year into his tenure, those inside the agency that regulates roughly one-fifth of consumer spending in the US describe a culture rocked by staff clashes, leadership turmoil, industry backlash and an embattled, paranoid leader.

Outside, drug companies say they’ve been blindsided by setbacks.

Austria expelled three Russian diplomats suspected of espionage after investigators linked their activities to an apparent expansion of signals-intelligence capabilities at Russian embassy buildings in Vienna.

The move brings the number of Russian envoys forced to leave the Austrian capital to 14 over the past four years, the Foreign Ministry said in an emailed statement.

Public broadcaster ORF first reported the expulsions.

The US says a Navy ship was not hit by Iranian missiles then forced to retreat near the Gulf of Oman.

Meanwhile, the White House says the US will escort any stranded ships trying to go through the Strait of Hormuz.

Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall has the latest.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called on US allies and on China to join an American operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz even as he claimed the nation has total control of the vital waterway for the global oil trade.

“Let’s see if China — let’s see them step up with some diplomacy and get the Iranians to open the strait,” Bessent said Monday on Fox News.

“Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism, and China has been buying 90% of their energy, so they are funding the largest state sponsor of terrorism.”

German Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil continued to push for a European Union windfall tax to cushion the fallout from the energy price spike for households and companies.

“It’s an important issue that I will address once again today: the question of the windfall profits tax,” he told reporters on Monday.

“I know that there is currently no majority support for this in Brussels, but it is precisely in Brussels that it is worth persisting in the face of resistance.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney ’s government unveiled measures worth C$1.5 billion ($1.1 billion) to help Canadian firms hurt by the Trump administration’s changes to US tariffs on imports containing steel, aluminum and copper.

The change in early April put a 25% surcharge on the total value of products that contain these metals.

Previously, the US applied a 50% tariff only to the actual metal content inside the products, but importers complained that regime was too complicated in practice.

Europe will consider all retaliatory options should US President Donald Trump follow through on his threat to raise tariffs on cars and trucks from the European Union to 25%, the bloc’s finance ministers said.

But, if possible, it would like to stick with an existing US-EU trade deal.

Some of the US’s closest allies including Canada and the UK are warning that the international system of security and trade championed by western powers for more than 70 years is broken beyond repair — and that it’s up to Europe to fashion a new global order.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney , who earlier this year warned that the rules-based order was dead, implored dozens of leaders meeting in Armenia on Monday not to submit to a more “transactional, insular and brutal world.”

The European Commission is set to propose granting about €4 billion ($4.7 billion) more of free emission permits to the industries covered by the bloc’s carbon market, addressing concerns by some governments and manufacturers over the region’s declining competitiveness.

The commission, the European Union’s regulatory arm, will opt to employ a methodology that allows more flexibility when calculating benchmarks that determine the number of free allowances to be allocated in 2026-2030, according to a document shared with member states and seen by Bloomberg News.

Today: The keys to the midterms, Rudy Giuliani hospitalized, and the US to guide ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Supreme Court says rules that allow patients to get the abortion pill mifepristone through the mail can stay the same for at least a week.

The U.S. military said it helped two merchant ships transit the Strait of Hormuz, and the United Arab Emirates said it was fending off Iranian missiles and drones.

Many of the changes Trump wants to make to the White House and the city are facing legal challenges. Some are reversible, while others could reshape the nation's capital for generations to come.

The United States will launch an effort on Monday to "guide" stranded ships from the Iran-gripped Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said, as two ships around the strait reported attacks.

President Trump was fed up with the "no deal, no war" stalemate in Iran. The operation he ordered to change that dynamic could ultimately lead back to war."The president wants action. He doesn't want to sit still. He wants pressure. He wants a deal," a senior U.S. official told Axios.

At the last minute, he opted for a more cautious approach, at least initially.Driving the news: Starting Monday, the U.S. Navy will help U.S.-flagged and other commercial ships cross the strait by advising them on how to avoid mines and standing ready to intervene if Iran atta…

A fully closed Strait of Hormuz was long seen as unthinkable — and unmanageable if it happened — based on past modeling and interviews with energy experts.Why it matters: That conventional wisdom underscores just how unprecedented today's closure is — and how little playbook exists for what could come next.The intrigue: In at least two major exercises assessing potential oil disruptions — one in 2007 and another in 2022 — energy experts considered a full shutdown of the strait but ultimately didn't model it in their planning.In both cases, they judged it either too unlikely or too large in scale to meaningfully plan around."The idea was laughed out of the room," said Sam Ori, who worked on …

President Trump said the U.S. Navy will start escorting ships from foreign countries through the Strait of Hormuz from Monday and warned that if Iran tries to disrupt the process the American military will use force. Why it matters: This move that Trump called "Project Freedom" is the most significant step by his administration to try and reopen the key strait since Iran shut it down early in the war. While Trump claims the move is "humanitarian," it is a clear U.S. challenge to Tehran's effort to control the strait. An Iranian military response could spark a confrontation or even an escalation back to war. What he's saying: Trump wrote on Truth Social that countries from around that are no…

Having watched Wu deliver a succession of big breaks to pull clear at 10-7 overnight, Murphy emphatically roared back into contention in the best-of-35-frames final on Monday afternoon.

Roberto de Zerbi's Spurs look like a revived outfit after claiming their second straight win - a 2-1 victory at Champions League-chasing Aston Villa.

Having been coached by three managers - Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor and now De Zerbi - with strongly opposing styles this season, Spurs seem to be coming together despite the short time their new boss has had with them.

With renewed confidence paired with tactical principles that have simplified his players' decision-making process, Spurs' squad and fans will be quietly optimistic things have changed for the better and they can avoid the drop.

And De Zerbi deserves much of the credit given the way he has set up his team.

Mourinho and Benfica will surely view this season as a missed opportunity - although an invincible campaign would be some solace.

They could even finish third given they are only three points ahead of Sporting, who have a game in hand and a superior goal difference.

Portuguese sports publication A Bola, external said Benfica had "gifted" rivals Porto 12 points, after letting a lead slip in six of their 10 draws.

The United States has transferred 22 crew members from the Iranian container ship, the Touska, to Pakistan, in what Islamabad describes as a “confidence-building measure” during tension in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Touska, a small container ship operated by the sanctioned Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), was boarded near Iran’s Chabahar port.
