Руководство ультраправой партии «Альтернатива для Германии» начало подготовку к переговорам о возобновлении поставок российского газа в Германию, пишет Reuters со ссылкой на два источника.

Как ожидается, в ней примут участие сопредседатели АдГ Алиса Вайдель и Тино Хрупалла и глава Российского фонда прямых инвестиций Кирилл Дмитриев.

В Германии любые попытки перезапустить «Северный поток» будут встречены сопротивлением, пишет агентство.

Тем не менее в АдГ рассчитывают, что переговоры помогут продемонстрировать избирателям ее компетентность в вопросах внешней политики и неспособность правительства решить проблему высоких цен на энергоносители.

По версии ведомства, режиссер сотрудничал с другими «иноагентами» и «нежелательными» организациями, а также распространял «недостоверную информацию» о политике властей РФ.

Кроме него в список «иноагентов» попали:политик Павел Иванов;блогер Ержан Тургумбай;журналист Михаил Шевелев;проект «Анархист-35».

В то же время из реестра исключены ООО «Алая буква» и ООО «Институт нейрокогнитивных исследований» — в связи с их ликвидацией.

В России начались выборы в Госдуму.

Вот что о них нужно знатьЭто первое переизбрание парламента с начала войны.

Власти пытались уничтожить всякое пространство для протеста.

Но оно все равно есть

В Кировской области выборы депутата регионального Заксобрания по одномандатному округу № 25 перенесли на 2027 год из-за того, что в бюллетене не оказалось сразу двух зарегистрированных кандидатов.

В бюллетене нет кандидатов от КПРФ и «Партии пенсионеров» Эдуарда Пластина и Ивана Пискунова.

В местном отделении КПРФ заявили, что кандидатов «забыли вписать».

После консультаций с ЦИК и представителями партий было решено прекратить голосование и провести новые выборы в сентябре 2027 года, когда в регионе будут выбирать губернатора и депутатов городской думы.

«Была проведена большая работа с жителями, а в итоге их лишили возможности проголосовать.

Как проходят выборыВыборы в берлинский парламент и в районные собрания депутатов проходят раз в пять лет.

Предыдущие состоялись в сентябре 2021 года, но на них было зафиксировано такое количество технических и организационных , что в 2023-м их провели заново.

Правом голоса на выборах в парламент обладают граждане Германии, которые непрерывно живут в Берлине на протяжении как минимум трех месяцев до проведения выборов.

Оппоненты христианских демократов потребовали его немедленной отставки, и в июле под давлением общественности он отказался от участия в парламентских выборах из-за допущенных им «ошибок в коммуникации».

Ирландия и Европейская служба внешних связей предложили оставить российского бизнесмена Алишера Усманова в санкционном списке, но разморозить его активы и разрешить ему въезд в Евросоюз, рассказали Financial Times европейские дипломаты.

Однако в этот раз продлить его на шесть месяцев не удалось из-за разногласий по поводу ограничений в отношении Усманова.

При этом другие европейские государства скептически относятся к идее использовать санкции ЕС для достижения целей конкретной страны.

Эти партнеры — Турция, Азербайджан и Узбекистан (Усманов там родился), которые еще в марте лоббировали исключение бизнесмена из санкционного списка.

Financial Times утверждает, что Париж вступился за Усманова…

Премьер-министр Словакии Роберт Фицо, который накануне говорил, что собирается посетить Украину, на саммит не приехал.

Также ожидается, что в саммите примут участие около 550 представителей бизнеса, а по его итогам будут подписаны инвестиционные и торговые соглашения на миллиард евро, сообщил Зеленский.

Администрация президента США Дональда Трампа рассматривает возможность заключения бизнес-сделок с Россией еще до окончания войны в Украине, рассказали The New York Times два источника, близких к переговорам.

Это могло бы продемонстрировать, что США серьезно настроены на «перезагрузку» отношений с Россией, пояснил один из собеседников издания.

Год назад на переговорах в Анкоридже обсуждались возможные энергетические проекты, но еще до встречи Трамп заявил, что не станет «заниматься бизнесом, пока мы не прекратим войну».

Бывший дипломат Евросоюза в Киеве Балаш Ярабик заявил газете, что США, судя по всему, «рассматривают возможность более существенных уступок России».

The US conducted a fresh round of attacks on multiple targets in Iran, while the Islamic Republic launched strikes against eight key American military infrastructure sites in the Middle East, as both sides accused each other of violating a ceasefire that underpins peace talks.

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.

A host of industry players, policy wonks and businesses are grappling with the question of how to regulate AI in a trustworthy manner.Inside the White House, it's mostly business as usual.Why it matters: The industry's mad dash is the product of an ad hoc regulatory apparatus and a general consensus that swift action from Washington is unlikely in the near term.State of play: AI CEOs have been grappling with how to test advanced AI and work with Beijing on safety standards, while the White House favors a solution where the industry finds ways to police itself.That means the race is on to decide who will be anointed as third-party evaluators of AI systems and controls as the companies await …

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) is staring at a scary political environment for Republicans and claiming to see something very different: a path to 225 seats.Why it matters: Republican leaders insist they can retain the majority, but only if they drive their voters to the polls by manufacturing the kind of voter enthusiasm Democrats are generating organically."If we make it a contrast election, we win," Scalise told Axios in an interview Thursday."We could get to 225. It would be a good night for us if we did, but it's possible," he said. "235 is not," he said.

Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel has travelled to Barcelona as some of Europe's biggest clubs continue to vie for his signature.

The 15-year-old has told United he wants to cancel his registration with immediate effect.

BBC Sport reported on Thursday that Real Madrid have a firm interest in the forward, and Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain and Barcelona are also known to be keen.

It is understood Gabriel left the UK on Thursday and went to France, but is now in Barcelona.

If United hold on to the Londoner's registration, it would stop him moving to another English club until the end of the season.

The release includes incidents dating back to 1952, including footage filmed near Tremonton, Utah, by US Navy Chief Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse, who reported seeing and filming a group of bright airborne objects.

Submitted to the US Air Force shortly afterwards, the footage later became one of the visual cases reviewed by Project Blue Book, the Air Force's UFO investigation programme, which ran from 1952 to 1969.

However, the film's limited detail and lack of fixed reference points meant investigators could not reach a definitive conclusion.

After US President Donald Trump called for UFO files to be released in an executive order earlier this year, the Pentagon has declassified hund…

The actress Stephanie Cole, known for roles in Tenko, Open All Hours and Doc Martin, has died aged 84.

Or maybe it is just a sign that Tuchel wants his side to become more unpredictable in their search for success.

"We are maybe not the most economical team to play football but this is maybe also a characteristic of the Premier League.

The Premier League is not a very economical league, you have to play.

Tuchel refuted assertions his decision to recall Palmer and Alexander-Arnold was an admission he'd got his World Cup squad wrong.

England host World Cup winners Spain at Wembley on Saturday, 26 September then travel to the Czech Republic (Tuesday, 29 September) and Croatia (Saturday, 3 October) before the Czechs visit on Tuesday, 6 October.

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick says it would be "ridiculous" to start thinking how long he has left in the job after "two or three" bad results.

United supporters responded to the midweek setback with boos and by chanting against their team.

"In terms of future and ownership and how long I've got in the job, that's totally not in my thinking.

Carrick accepted issues at Old Trafford are frequently amplified, so they look to be bigger than they actually are.

Despite this, he loves his job - and the club he served with such distinction as a player, and began his coaching career.

First, the US supreme court rejected his effort to restrict mail-in ballots ahead of the midterm elections.

“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court,” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform.

It is a view constantly reinforced by his cartoonishly loyal cabinet, from defence secretary Pete Hegseth to attorney general Todd Blanche, who was previously Trump’s personal lawyer.

Trump has become accustomed to snuffing out the first sparks of dissent among Republicans in Congress before the flames of rebellion can spread.

This is the entry point for where it’s going to be: a sour grapes moment in Trump’s political career.”

A Swedish teenager known as Chai has been sentenced to more than 10 years in jail for attempted murder, rape and aggravated assault – crimes committed via the internet, including against a teenage girl in Australia.

The teenager was between 15 and 17 when the offences were committed.

Chai was convicted of two counts of attempted murder against a young person in Germany, and multiple sexual and violent offences against the Australian teenager, among other offences.

The court also found that it was possible for someone to be convicted of violent offences even where they were committed remotely via the internet.

“These are young people recruiting other young people,” Bjørn Ihler, the founder o…

Buckingham Palace has issued a rare, and strong, rebuttal to claims made in Earl Spencer’s memoir Swan Song.

A bitter inquest is under way among Yemen’s anti-Houthi forces as to how what was being billed as a decisive assault on Sana’a, the Houthi-controlled capital, suddenly collapsed into a military rout.

Efforts are now being made to reorganise the anti-Houthi forces representing the UN-recognised Yemeni government in order to capture the Kahbob mountains, a strategic point from which to restrict Houthi forces moving closer to the crucial Bab al-Mandab strait.

Saleh’s National Resistance Forces have said they made a necessary tactical retreat.

Saleh has said he is now forming the “Tihami Resistance”, a group that was entirely independent of Yemen national forces.

As Bungay Stanier puts it in his book The Advice Trap, giving advice is not bad; it’s when advice is your default response to every situation or arrives too quickly that it can become a problem.

According to her, the most important thing for parents to know when giving advice to children and teenagers is not to shame.

Other research suggests that responsive, empathetic advice is more likely to increase trust (as opposed to prescriptive advice, which can undermine it).

Today, people can always ask a chatbot for advice, but it doesn’t know us like we know one another.

“ChatGPT can give good advice, with references and extra reading, faster than a person, and without personal entanglement.

But ministers said that the report into the incident still left questions unanswered, saying they needed “to urgently understand why this issue was not discovered and fixed before it caused chaos”.

The transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, said the industry regulator the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) would now “check their findings” and investigate Nats’ plans.

However, Rolfe said the incident was unrelated to the previous failures and dismissed speculation that it was caused by military intervention.

The restrictions were in place for six hours and it took more than two days for the backlog of passenger disruption to be cleared, with hundreds of thousands of passengers’ travel plans disru…

U.S. Central Command said the "powerful" strikes were in response to Iranian attacks on ships transiting the vital waterway and would "impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping."

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the US-Iran memorandum of understanding was "entirely performance-based," warning that Tehran would see benefits only if it showed "good behavior."

"I was very disappointed with NATO," Mr. Trump said, sitting next to Mr. Erdogan at the Turkish leader's vast presidential palace.

"It's a chemistry that works between us," Mr. Trump said.

In a potentially major boost for Mr. Erdogan, Mr. Trump said Washington would consider selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, after booting it out of the programme in 2019 over Ankara's purchase of a Russian system.

The attack took place in a remote area of Ziarat district in Balochistan province, police said, without providing further details.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the latest attack, though suspicion is likely to fall on the outlawed Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).

The BLA claimed responsibility for a weekend suicide attack on a security post in the coastal town of Jiwani, though the government has neither confirmed nor denied the claim.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi blamed the latest attack on what he described as Indian-backed militants.

A preliminary report on Friday blamed a millisecond-software defect for the cancellation of over 2,000 flights in and out of the United Kingdom last week.

NATS, formerly known as National Air Traffic Services, said on Friday that the glitch on September 8 was behind the mayhem at British airports and beyond, rather than any human failings – as many had speculated at the time.

It said a software defect in the National Airspace System, which allocates codes so air traffic controllers can identify flights on radar, was behind the decision to axe the flights.

The move affected hundreds of thousands of travellers.

“This happened in the space of a millisecond,” the report said.

When the presidents of the United States and China meet in Washington, the world will be watching to see whether their two countries can make good on their agreement to work towards “constructive strategic stability”.

In the first part of a series, Mark Magnier looks at expectations in the US for the summit.

“How are we going to get anything done if we can’t even agree on the basic logistics,” said a person involved in planning.

“The Chinese are … not thrilled with it.

But as a result, we have ever-shrinking expectations for the visit, and the Chinese are OK with that too.”

Alibaba Group Holding’s research arm, Damo Academy, has open-sourced an artificial intelligence model capable of identifying nearly 150 abdominal conditions – including cancers – by reading computed tomography (CT) scans, marking the latest step in the firm’s growing medical AI efforts.

The vision-language model, called Damo Radar, was designed to analyse contrast-enhanced CT scans covering 18 abdominal organs and identify a broad range of diseases and other abnormalities, such as malignant tumours, the institute said on Friday.

The model was trained using CT scans paired with clinical reports.

Foreign domestic carers brought to Hong Kong to look after elderly residents under a proposed government pilot scheme would receive 10 to 20 per cent more pay than existing helpers, the labour minister has said.

Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun Yuk-han on Friday revealed additional details about the arrangement for foreign domestic carers, as the government also released a comprehensive report outlining strategies for an ageing society.

The report listed 73 measures spanning 11 areas, many of which were revealed in the policy address earlier this week.

“The rapid development of the ageing population has an immense impact on the economy and different areas of society, and both chal…

Chinese AI researcher “Joy” waited more than seven months to hear that his visa application for Germany had been rejected.

The 30-year-old had been offered a postdoctoral position at a German technical university but the rejection letter said there was an Ausweisungsinteresse, or public interest in denying him entry.

Citing Section 53 of Germany’s Residence Act, the letter said that for applications involving “study, research and similar employment”, particular attention had to be paid to the possibility that knowledge acquired in Germany could be misused in ways that harmed protected legal interests or other significant German interests.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, confirmed that the pipeline was shut as a precaution following an attack last week but did not disclose the extent of the damage, the number of affected pumping stations or a timetable for restart…

A formal peace deal between Beijing and Taipei should be signed to build trust before discussions on post-reunification political arrangements, a prominent Taiwanese political scientist has argued at a security conference in Beijing.

Chang Ya-chung, who heads the Taiwan-based Sun Yat-sen School advocacy group, said the “one country, two systems” formula, which has been applied to Hong Kong and Macau, had so far failed to resonate in Taiwanese society.

The catastrophic danger posed to cities by nuclear weapons is nothing new.

Putting major urban areas at risk across generations is, in fact, the point of these weapons of terror.
