В исправительной колонии № 1 во Владикавказе произошел бунт с участием почти 600 заключенных, пишет Baza.

Источник «Интерфакса» заявил о «нескольких» пострадавших в результате беспорядков в колонии.

В апреле 2020 года крупный бунт произошел в колонии Ангарска.

Во ФСИН говорили, что бунт начал один из заключенных, отказавшийся от личного обыска, после чего его поддержали заключенные в ШИЗО.

По версии правозащитников, бунт начался после того, как в колонии избили заключенного, вскрывшего вены в знак протеста против издевательств.

Позднее Макарову пришлось вернуться в Хвалынск, и он стал городским активистом и блогером.

«Хотел сказать им: вы говорите, что в город должны возвращаться молодые специалисты.

В тот же день ему позвонили из полиции и заявили, что на него написали заявление об изнасиловании 15-летней девочки.

Девочка, которую назвали жертвой Макарова, получила справку о том, что не подвергалась насилию.

Об этом в фейсбуке написал ее сын, музыкант Алексей Паперный.

После университета работала в Научно-исследовательском институте по биологическому испытанию химических соединений, где в том числе устраивала творческие вечера.

Позднее Паперная работала в ряде московских театров, сотрудничала со студией Олега Табакова и студией пантомимы в Центральном доме работников искусств (ЦДРИ).

Подпишите петицию с требованием отменить закон об иноагентах!

«Обязанность только у СМИ в законе о СМИ, „Яндекс“ СМИ не является, так что инициативно», — уточнил он.

В пресс-службе «Яндекса», в свою очередь, сообщили «Интерфаксу», что стали маркировать издания именно в соответствии с законом.

10.4 закона «Об информации» мы обязаны выполнять положения о порядке распространения СМИ и маркировки сообщения от изданий, признанных иностранными агентами.

В сентябре более 200 СМИ, некоммерческих, просветительских и благотворительных организаций выпустили петицию с требованием отменить российское законодательство об «иностранных агентах».

Родители несовершеннолетних детей теперь смогут более свободно отменять ранее наложенный собственный запрет на выезд ребенка за границу.

Раньше несогласие на выезд можно было отозвать только в судебном порядке, а теперь для этого достаточно написать заявление в любом подразделении по вопросам миграции на территории России или в дипмиссии РФ за границей.

Помимо этого, теперь один из родителей может установить запрет не на общий выезд за границу, а в конкретную страну на определенный срок.

В МВД выразили уверенность, что такой подход даст родителям больше гибкости «исходя из сложившихся жизненных обстоятельств».

Он продавал телевизоры в московском офисе LG и учил русский язык (а иногда до сих пор хвастает неплохим знанием языка).

Поэтому у Хо Сон-тхэ так много фанатов из России, которых он продолжает радовать в инстаграме.

Вот сейчас актер прибыл во Владивосток и сфотографировался в образе матрешки, установленной на центральной площади города.

Теперь в списке 88 организаций и физлиц.

...Институт иммунологии Федерального медико-биологического агентства (ФМБА) подал заявку на регистрацию препарата от коронавируса «МИР-19», сообщает «Интерфакс» со ссылкой на данные государственного реестра лекарственных средств.

ФМБА подало заявку на регистрацию «МИР-19» в форме лиофилизата, то есть сухого вещества для приготовления раствора.

Производить его планируется на объекте в петербургской Красной Поляне.

ФМБА получило разрешение на клинические исследования лекарства в декабре.

Помимо лекарства ФМБА также разрабатывает свою вакцину против коронавируса.

В августе 2021 г. правительство утвердило концепцию развития водородной энергетики.

Первый этап концепции рассчитан на ближайшие 3,5 года.

Он предполагает создание профильных кластеров и реализацию пилотных проектов по производству и экспорту водорода, а также применение водородных энергоносителей на внутреннем рынке.

На следующих этапах (до 2035 г. и 2050 г.)

планируется создать крупные экспортно ориентированные производства и перейти к серийному применению водородных технологий в различных секторах экономики – от нефтехимии до жилищно-коммунального хозяйства.

В конце декабря 2020 г. руководитель ФМБА Вероника Скворцова заявила о разработке «антидота» от коронавируса «Мир-19».

Препарат основан на применении микроРНК, блокирующих определенные сайты РНК-вируса и те сайты, которые отвечают за копирование молекулы вируса.

Он безопасен для человека, не влияет на человеческий геном и иммунитет, но при этом эффективно «выключает» копирование вируса и предотвращает самые тяжелые формы развития коронавирусной инфекции, рассказывала глава ФМБА.

Ранее ведомство сообщило, что 15 октября около 17:00 по местному времени эсминец Chafee (DDG 90) ВМС США, который уже несколько дней действует в акватории Японского моря, приблизился к территориальным водам Российской Федерации и предпринял попытку пересечения государственной границы.

В начале сентября 2020 г. кипрская газета Politis опубликовала список россиян, которые с 2008 по 2012 г. получили гражданство Кипра в обмен на инвестиции в страну.

По ее сведениям, в письме президента республики Никоса Анастадиаса был указан 141 человек, который в указанный период подал заявление на кипрское гражданство.

Из них 34 заявителя классифицировались как «лица высокого риска», находящиеся под уголовным или административным преследованием или связанные с компаниями, в отношении которых возбуждены дела за нарушения закона.

Крым вошел в состав России по результатам референдума в марте 2014 г.

(«за» проголосовали 96,7% и 95,6% жителей Крыма и Севастополя соответственно).

18 марта того же года власти полуострова подписали с Россией договор о переходе в ее юрисдикцию.

9 октября агентство Reuters сообщило, что США снимут ограничения на въезд для привитых вакцинами, одобренными Управлением по санитарному надзору за качеством пищевых продуктов и медикаментов (FDA) или внесенными в список ВОЗ для экстренного использования.

В список одобренных ВОЗ или американским регулятором препаратов входят вакцины, произведенные компаниями Pfizer и Moderna, а также китайские Sinopharm и Sinovac.

Агентство «Росбалт» было основано в 2001 г. Наталией Черкесовой — супругой бывшего директора Федеральной службы по контролю за оборотом наркотиков и экс-депутата Госдумы Виктора Черкесова.

Поклонская была назначена послом в Кабо-Верде указом президента России Владимира Путина 12 октября.

Комментируя назначение, она рассказала, что рада новой должности.

Экс-депутат отметила, что добивалась этого назначения и считает странным, что кому-то оно может показаться ссылкой.

«Если кто-то думает, что назначение чрезвычайным и полномочным послом России, великой страны, где-либо — это ссылка, то для меня это странно», — заявила она РБК.

Светлана Тихановская — супруга белорусского оппозиционного политика Сергея Тихановского, который был задержан в мае 2020 г., за три месяца до начала президентских выборов.

После его задержания Тихановская официально зарегистрировалась как кандидат в президенты.

В декабре 2020 г. Генпрокуратура Белоруссии возбудила против Тихановской и других членов Координационного совета уголовное дело о создании экстремистского формирования и руководства им.

В марте 2021 г. Генпрокуратура также возбудила в отношении Тихановской уголовное дело о подготовке теракта, а в октябре — о «самовольном присвоении власти».

На данный момент Тихановская покинула страну и находится в Литве.

Власти республики также ограничат маршруты передвижения патрулей представителей ОБСЕ в рамках Специальной мониторинговой миссии.

«Мы прибыли на место происшествия и обнаружили раненого мужчину.

Ему оказали помощь экстренные службы, но, к сожалению, он скончался на месте происшествия», — рассказали в полиции.

Сообщается, что подозреваемому в нападении 25 лет, он был взят под стражу.

Его личность и возможные мотивы преступления пока не известны.

(Reuters) - Teligent Inc on Friday secured court approval to access part of a $12 million loan to fund operations while the generic drugmaker works through its bankruptcy and sale process.

Teligent reported nearly $130 million in debt and blamed its troubles on the combination of manufacturing violations identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the COVID-19 pandemic.

REUTERS/Andrew KellyOct 15 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration on Friday said it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to block a restrictive Texas law that imposes a near-total ban on abortion after a federal appeals court reinstated the law.

The U.S. Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, to reverse the 5th U.S.

The Justice Department sued Texas over the abortion law last month, arguing that the law impedes women from exercising their constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy as recognized in the Supreme Court's landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

The Supreme Court previously allowed the law to be e…

Five sources with knowledge of what was decided at the meeting said junta chief Min Aung Hlaing would not be invited to the Oct. 26-28 leaders' summit and a non-political figure in Myanmar would be asked to attend instead.

Two sources told Reuters that ASEAN ministers agreed that should the military not accept that arrangement, Myanmar's seat at the summit table would be left vacant.

ASEAN made no official announcement about what was resolved at the meeting and chair Brunei will issue a statement on Saturday.

Myanmar's military spokesman did not answer calls seeking comment.

The joint statement also urged Myanmar to cooperate with Erywan Yusof, ASEAN's special envoy to Myanmar.

LONDON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping will not attend the COP26 climate summit in person, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been told, The Times newspaper reported.

Britain, which hosts the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties, or COP26, in Glasgow on Oct. 31-Nov 12, is seeking to get big power support for a more radical plan to tackle climate change.

"It is now pretty clear that Xi is not going to turn up and the PM has been told that," The Times quoted an unidentified British source as saying.

The Times said British organisers fear that Xi's decision to stay away could be a prelude to China refusing to set new climate change goals amid an e…

Navy/Handout via REUTERSMOSCOW, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Russia said one of its military vessels chased away a U.S. naval destroyer that attempted to violate Russian territorial waters during Russian-Chinese naval drills in the Sea of Japan on Friday, something Washington said was false.

"The statement from the Russian Defense Ministry about the interaction between our two Navy ships is false," the U.S. military statement said.

It was the second time in four months Russia has said it chased a NATO-member warship from its waters.

Britain rejected Moscow's account of that incident, saying at the time its ship was operating lawfully in Ukrainian waters.

Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam said it was important for health workers to get vaccinated and prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.

And if health care workers have to go into quarantine for example, after exposure, the system simply isn't going to be sustainable," she told a briefing.

Retail sales rose 0.7% last month.

Data for August was revised higher to show retail sales increasing 0.9% instead of 0.7% as previously reported.

Consumer prices increased 0.4% on a monthly basis in September suggesting the so-called real retail sales rose 0.3% last month.

Online retail sales rose 0.6%.

Excluding automobiles, gasoline, building materials and food services, retail sales rose 0.8% after increasing 2.6% in August.

Their missed payments could add up to a "forbearance overhang" of more than $15 billion in postponed mortgage payments, or about $14,200 per person, according to Brookings Institution research.

Homeowners facing hardships who signed up for forbearance in later months may still be eligible for additional extensions.

Roughly half of those homeowners have loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The CFPB ramped up scrutiny of mortgage servicers over the matter this spring and in June finalized new protections for homeowners struggling to make mortgage payments due to the pandemic.

About 93% of borrowers in forbearance have at least 10% equity in…

Members of the Food and Drug Administration's vaccine expert panel on Friday unanimously endorsed a booster shot for adult recipients of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine at least two months after the initial dose.Why it matters: The advisory committee raised concern about a dearth of data to support their decision but ultimately decided to support an additional shot.Johnson & Johnson had asked the FDA to approve a booster shot of its one-dose COVID-19 vaccine for people 18 years and older.

A U.S. Capitol Police officer has been indicted on obstruction of justice charges for allegedly helping hide evidence of a participant's involvement in the Jan. 6 riot.Driving the news: Officer Michael A. Riley, 50, is accused of telling the unidentified participant, referred to as "Person 1," in the Jan. 6 riot to delete posts from Facebook, which showed them in the Capitol during the attack.Riley allegedly sent a message to the rioter saying, "Im a capitol police officer who agrees with your political stance [sic]," according to the indictment."Take down the part about being in the building they are currently investigating and everyone who was in the building is going to be charged.

David Amess, a Conservative Party lawmaker in the U.K., was fatally stabbed Friday while meeting with local constituents in a church in eastern England, according to AP.The big picture: Police said a man, 25, was arrested for the stabbing in Leigh-on-Sea and is being held on suspicion of murder. A knife was also recovered at the scene, authorities said.Amess, 69, is the second British MP to be murdered in recent memory.Labor MP Jo Cox was killed when a right-wing extremist shot and stabbed her outside a meeting with constituents in 2016, according to the New York Times.Members of parliament regularly hold meetings, or "surgeries," with constituents, though these can leave lawmakers vulnerab…

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has announced a new bill that would establish an interagency task force to craft a response to China's use of economic measures to further its geopolitical goals.Why it matters: The draft bill represents growing awareness in the U.S. that economic coercion is a cornerstone of the Chinese Communist Party's ability to project authoritarianism beyond its borders.The bill, spearheaded by Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, and Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), also underscores deepening bipartisan agreement that China is America's top foreign policy challenge.Details: The bill lists numerous examples of China'…

The White House will announce Friday plans to lift travel restrictions for fully vaccinated international travelers beginning Nov. 8, a White House official said.Why it matters: The move will allow vaccinated travelers from most countries to visit the U.S. for the first time in more than 18 months. Driving the news: The announcement applies to international air travel and travel across U.S. land borders. Effective Nov. 8, foreign national air travelers must provide proof of being fully vaccinated to be eligible to fly to the U.S. Fully vaccinated travelers will also be required to present a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of travel prior to boarding, per the official.Foreign …

A massive blast tore through a crowded Shiite mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Friday, killing dozens, AP reports.The big picture: It's the second major attack on a Shiite mosque during Friday prayers in a week, and comes as the Taliban contend with a growing security threat from other militant groups.A suicide bombing, claimed by local Islamic State affiliate ISIS-K, killed at least 46 worshippers in the northern city of Kunduz last Friday.The Taliban have vowed to protect the country's Shiite minority, who were persecuted under the militant group's brutal rule in the 1990s.State of play: No group has claimed responsibility for the Kandahar blast, which hit as worshippers …

Data: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; Chart: Jared Whalen/Axios Two inflation indexes out this week, taken together, show how companies’ margins are getting squeezed.Why it matters: Corporate earnings growth, while still historically high, is receding from record second-quarter levels. Margins will be a huge focus during Q3 earnings calls this month.The big picture: Prices that consumers pay for goods and services have been rising this year, but wholesale prices have risen faster, shrinking the rate of profits that some companies make off their revenue.The alternative, of course, is that consumers shoulder all of the rising costs.Details: The Consumer Price Index grew 0.5% in September, wh…

The UN Climate Summit in Glasgow is less than 20 days away, and diplomats have entered a crucial period when expectations are raised or lowered to guard against any blowback that might come from a particular outcome.Driving the news: Officials in the U.S. and abroad are sending clear signals that the odds that COP26 will meet some of its most important goals are diminishing, for a variety of reasons both macro and micro in scale.The latest: U.S. special climate envoy John Kerry raised eyebrows in an AP interview published Thursday when he said there will be "gaps" between the emissions pledges secured at COP26 and the cuts needed to meet the Paris Agreement’s most ambitious temperature targ…

A three-judge panel for the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday denied the Department of Justice's emergency request to suspend Texas' abortion ban, which bars the procedure after a fetal heartbeat is detected, or roughly six weeks — before many people know they are pregnant.Why it matters: The ruling allows the ban to continue to be enforced as the courts consider the law's constitutionality. It's one of the most restrictive bans to be enforced since the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion nationwide in 1973.Medical providers in the state briefly resumed performing abortions last week after a federal judge ruled that the law was unconstitutional, though it was…

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky foresees a travel spike at year's end as workers cash in a flood of use-it-or-lose-it paid time off.Driving the news: "We're going to be entering ... a new golden age of travel, where suddenly people ... have a record accrual of PTO and they've been landlocked," Chesky told me during a wide-ranging interview for "Axios on HBO." Chesky shared exclusive Airbnb polling of 7,500 consumers in five big markets — U.S., Mexico, U.K., France, Australia — from Sept. 20-26.The most interesting finding: Around half of people are in danger of losing PTO by year's end.A data point on flexible work: 64% of people polled by Airbnb said they're interested in living away from the comp…

The outcry over Congress' latest proposal to regulate tech companies' algorithms shows how difficult it is for lawmakers and platforms alike to deal with online content moderation.Why it matters: The new bill is backed by the leadership of a powerful committee with jurisdiction over the issue, giving it more momentum than some previous legislative attempts to revamp online platforms' legal protections.What's happening: Scholars, organizations backed by tech companies, and a digital rights group weighed in Thursday to oppose the Justice Against Malicious Algorithms Act, sponsored by House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone (D-N.J.)."This bill is well-intentioned, but it's a t…

There are those speculating whether Fed chair Jerome Powell gets another term. Then there are those speculating with real money on the line.Why it matters: The explosion in retail trading is one sign of the flush consumer's betting fervor. The amped up rush to wager on political outcomes — like who's next to lead the Fed — is another.Here’s an indicator that interest in political betting has heated up: Per data provided to Axios by PredictIt, cumulative trading activity for the next Fed chair is double what it was the last time there was a similar market on the political trading platform. That was in 2017, when then-Fed chair Janet Yellen was up for renomination. (At this point then, Powell…

A new White House report says climate change poses "systemic risks" to the U.S. financial system — framing that top aides emphasized to promote wide-ranging moves weaving climate risk into many agencies' new policies and regulations.The big picture: The report asserts that "U.S. financial markets and institutions face systemic risks from climate change." Senior officials called the conclusion significant."That term, systemic risk, carries a lot of weight," Bharat Ramamurti, deputy director at the National Economic Council, told reporters Thursday night.“Its inclusion in this roadmap reflects our belief that because many financial models and investment portfolios still rely on out of date as…

Democrats' most significant attempt to rein in health care costs in the private market— specifically prescription drug costs — is increasingly likely to fail.Why it matters: U.S. health care costs have ballooned over the last few decades. But there's fierce industry resistance to allowing the government to step in and regulate private market prices. Plenty of lawmakers hate the idea as well.

The partially mutilated remains of a man buried by the AD79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius at Herculaneum, the ancient Roman town close to Pompeii, have been discovered in what Italy’s culture minister described as a “sensational” find.

Archaeologists said the man, believed to have been aged between 40 and 45, was killed just steps away from the sea as he tried to flee the eruption.

“The last moments here were instantaneous, but terrible,” Francesco Sirano, the director of Herculaneum archaeological park, told Ansa.

British and Irish survivors of the 2015 terrorist attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris have told a court how they played dead on the ground in a river of blood to avoid being shot, or crawled across the floor between bodies as gunmen murdered concertgoers one by one.

When Steve Bruce emerges from the St James’ Park tunnel on Sunday he will quite possibly feel a bit like an unwanted top-table wedding guest.

After all Newcastle were supposed to have sacked Bruce and appointed a more glamorous replacement by now.

Staged over Zoom, they can tend to be flat and unenlightening but Bruce’s address from Newcastle’s training ground on Friday proved a notably sparky exception.

“I’m not going to give up, I’m quietly confident we’ll get a result against Spurs.

“That’s an awful question, that’s awful to say that I’m just hanging on waiting for my compensation,” Bruce retorted.

David Amess was making contact with his constituents – physically present, personally attentive, intimately available – when he was killed in his Essex constituency on Friday afternoon.

The MPs’ constituency surgery is one of the least examined institutions of British politics partly because so much of what happens there is confidential.

MPs from all factions in all parties will be united in shock and grief at the death of David Amess.

They will also feel the cold shiver of vulnerability, since many of them will have received abuse and threats online and in person.

David Amess was making the human connection between the institutions of democracy and the people who are represented there.

The Biden administration said Friday it will turn next to the US supreme court its attempt to halt a Texas law that has banned most abortions since September.

The move by the justice department comes after an appeals court on Thursday night left in place the law known as Senate Bill 8, which bans abortions once fetal cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks.

Justice department spokesman Anthony Coley says the federal government will ask the supreme court to reverse that decision.

The Texas law is the nation’s biggest curb to abortion in nearly 50 years.

Last month, the supreme court allowed the law to take effect but did so without ruling on whether it is constitutional.

Attorneys for Cruz told circuit judge Elizabeth Scherer that he will plead guilty Wednesday to 17 counts of first-degree murder in the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school.

Cruz will also plead guilty to 17 counts of attempted first-degree murder.

He was not initially present during the hearing, but later entered the Broward county courtroom to plead guilty to attacking a jail guard nine months after the shooting.

The decision by Cruz and his attorneys to plead guilty came unexpectedly.

The shooting led to a state law that requires all Florida public schools to have an armed guard on campus during class hours.

The UK, the US and the EU are embarking on a frantic round of climate diplomacy in a last-ditch attempt to bring key countries into a deal on greenhouse gas emissions before the Cop26 climate summit.

Three thousand Spanish fans had travelled to Liverpool, despite the fact schools had shut down in Madrid.

Perhaps the real issue with Anfield and those 37 deaths, the problem with how it feels, is that sense of an absence of care.

One suggestion: Atlético will play at Anfield again next month, two years on from that Pandemic Day fixture.

It would seem like a nice thing to offer some kind of tribute on the night for those who were placed in danger last time around, the 37 in Liverpool, the 41 in Cheltenham.

For now all we have is a government report, and the sense of just another note of loss in the fog.

When Blair took over in 1994, Labour faced an exhausted Conservative party whose Commons majority was dwindling to zero.

The Labour party of the mid-1990s was truly sick of losing, and ready to do whatever it took to win.

Blair joked at the time that this may have been the only reason so many Labour members voted for him.

But that argument has not been settled in today’s Labour party.

Power was “the object of the exercise”, Starmer said – a statement of the obvious that no Tory leader has ever needed to make.

China’s real estate market has been called the most important sector in the world economy.

Real estate busts can be as painful as the preceding booms were exuberant.

About a fifth of China’s housing units now lie vacant, often because they are too expensive for the population, 40% of whom earn barely 1,000 yuan (£115) a month.

We do not know how well China will manage to wean itself off real estate construction and services, but it will not be easy or painless.

There will be important consequences for China’s economy, possibly its leadership, and the way China projects its influence abroad.

Patrick Vieira admits he must put personal emotions to one side when Crystal Palace face his former club Arsenal on Monday.

Vieira spent nine years at Arsenal as a player, winning three Premier League titles under Arsène Wenger and captaining the Invincibles team in 2003-04.

Having begun his coaching career at Manchester City, the former France midfielder is preparing to return to Arsenal for the first time since taking over at Palace in the summer.

This is the club where I played my best football so obviously going back will be emotional.

“He is somebody who understood when he was playing that going into a managerial area was something he wanted to do,” Vieira said.

14:41Joe Biden’s administration on Friday issued a report warning that the climate crisis “poses serious and systemic risks to the US economy and financial system”.

The 40-page report, issued as the crucial Cop26 global climate talks are due to begin in Scotland at the end of the month, sets out steps for action as “climate impacts are already affecting American jobs, homes, families’ hard-earned savings, and businesses”.

The report lays out what the White House calls government-wide plans to protect the economy with steps that potentially alter the mortgage process, stock market disclosures, retirement plans, federal procurement and government budgeting.

German aid organizations that could alleviate the suffering are facing massive hurdles.

Looming over all these developments is the upcoming winter, which aid organizations fear will make the situation even worse.

Even if the aid organizations are eventually able to have international staff on the ground again, there is a problem of liquidity.
