This is in-fighting within the KGB. They said they solved the case in 2 days, with forged documents aplenty. They are known for such shoddy work.

The natural response is to feel sorry for a daughter. Some further reading adds a bit of context. She was just like her father:

Dugin's daughter:
'Ukrainians are not humans. They all deserve to die.'

Claimed that the Ukrainian identity is an artificial concept created by the Nazi West, and only exists in small pockets of West Ukraine.

Called for Azovstal defenders to be put on spikes and to let civilians have their way with them

Called Ukrainian defenders sub-human, and compared them to ISIS.

This is the museum in question.

Word of advice - if you want to see these artifacts together then book a flight to London and visit this museum. They'll be 'lost', under 'repair', or 'loaned' within as they get to Nigeria. I wonder how many of the original 36 will be on display? Single figures?

Let's ignore the fact Russia declared war on a sovereign nation to satisfy our rampant anti-Americanism.

The racist Chinese need to learn to respect the will of the people.

Science/Technology7 Year Old Boy Blamed After Chess Robot Breaks His Finger In Match (video) by TobiAbuja(op): 11:43pm On Jul 24, 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJxS8GmV5hg


A chess-playing robot broke a child's finger during a tournament in Russia last week, with the incident being captured in CCTV footage.

The robot grabbed the seven-year-old boy's finger because it was confused by his overly-quick movements, Russian media outlets reported, quoting the President of the Moscow Chess Federation - who seemingly blamed the child.

'The robot broke the child's finger - this, of course, is bad,' Sergey Lazarev told Russia's TASS news agency, while distancing his organisation from the robot.

The incident occurred at the Moscow Open on July 19. Lazarev said that the federation had rented the robot for the event, which ran from July 13 to 21.

Lazarev said that the machine had been hired for many previous events without incident, saying the boy went to move a piece too quickly after making a move.

'The robot was rented by us, it has been exhibited in many places, for a long time, with specialists. Apparently, the operators overlooked it,' Lazarev said.

'The child made a move, and after that we need to give time for the robot to answer, but the boy hurried , the robot grabbed him. We have nothing to do with the robot.'


Video of the incident was published by the Baza Telegram channel, who said the boy's name was Christopher. Baza said he was among the 30 best chess players in Moscow in the under-nine age group category.

According to The Guardian, Sergey Smagin, vice-president of the Russian Chess Federation, went even further in blaming the boy.

'There are certain safety rules and the child, apparently, violated them. When he made his move, he did not realise he first had to wait,' The Guardian quoted Smagin as saying. 'This is an extremely rare case, the first I can recall.'

Upon grabbing the boy's finger, the mechanical arms freezes in place, trapping the boy who begins to panic. Several people standing around the table rush in to help him, and after a few seconds are able to free him from the robot's grip.

Lazarev said in his statement that the boy was able to return to the tournament the following day in a case, and finished the tournament.

However, he told TASS that the boy's parents had contacted the public prosecutor's office about the incident, and that his organisation had been contacted by Moskomsport - the Department of Sport for the Russian capital.

He offered to help the family 'in any way we can,' and warned that the operators of the robot were going to have to 'think about strengthening protection so that this situation does not happen again.'

Smagin told RIA Novosti that the incident was a 'concidence' and said the robot is 'absolutely safe,' The Guardian reported.

'It has performed at many opens. Apparently, children need to be warned. It happens,' Smagin said - calling the robot 'unique'.

Foreign AffairsRe: Queen's Guard 'watered' Amidst Heatwave (photo) by TobiAbuja(op): 1:03pm On Jul 19, 2022
The Queen's Guard, British Guards, and Queen's Life Guard (called King's Guard and King's Life Guard when the reigning monarch is male) are the names given to contingents of infantry and cavalry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in the United Kingdom. The British Army has regiments of both Horse Guards and Foot Guards predating the English Restoration (1660), and since the reign of King Charles II these regiments have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign's palaces. The Guards are fully operational soldiers.

A picture of a member of Queen Elizabeth II's guard receiving water to drink during the hot weather outside Buckingham Palace in London on Monday is going viral amid the heatwave that has pushed temperatures into the mid-40s Celsius in some regions of Britain.

Much of Europe is baking in a heatwave with wildfires raging across tinder-dry countryside in Portugal, Spain and France.

A first-ever red “extreme heat” warning for parts of England on Monday and Tuesday has been issued by the weather forecaster and a national emergency has been declared for the two days. Britain had recorded its highest ever temperature on July 25, 2019 and it was 38.7 degrees Celsius.

The heatwave has forced the train companies to cancel services and some schools to close, while ministers urged the public to stay at home. London's metro network imposed temporary speed restrictions, meaning it would run a reduced service with journeys taking longer than normal. It urged commuters to stay at home, according to Reuters.

On Sunday, authorities across southern Europe battled to control huge wildfires in these countries, with hundreds of deaths blamed on soaring temperatures that scientists say are consistent with climate change.

Also, Britain's Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has raised the heat health warning to Level 4 for England for Monday and Tuesday, news agency Reuters reported. A Level 4 red alert is defined as a national emergency, and is used when a heatwave "is so severe and/or prolonged that its effects extend outside the health and social care system. At this level, illness and death may occur among the fit and healthy, and not just in high-risk groups."

Unfortunately for her this stage, where fellow MPs vote, is only the first stage. By far the hardest will be when the 100k conservatives members are given a vote, and they are mostly elderly, traditional people who live in rural areas.

Who knows, she may be in a position to get a senior cabinet position though

Nice move how?

Is Southampton FC that might be fighting for relegation next season, a better team than Rangers, champions of the Scottish League and will be in Europe next season?

He has got a bad agent, otherwise the best was for the Agent to negotiate for better pay for Joe.
Most of the teams in the Scottish league couldn't even compete in League One/Two standard in England. There is no competition bar Celtic.

Playing in the biggest league in the world, against world class players, will make all the difference in his development.
