For one hour each week, imprisoned Russian dissident Alexey Navalny is allowed to send and receive messages with the outside world. Navalny's hand-written missives are transmitted through his lawyer to his staff in exile in Vilnius, Lithuania, who work to share his calls for action against Russia's war in Ukraine, expose Kremlin corruption and push back on disinformation and propaganda. "He's still very much involved in the functioning of our organization despite being in prison,"Vladimir Ashurkov, executive director of Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, said in an interview with The Hill.  Navalny's messages, written in a distinct voice – described as defiant, sarcastic, witty and still upbeat – are published to tens of millions of followers across social media. A thorn deep in Vladimir Putin's side, Navalny authored the Russian president's profile in Time Magazine's recent list of the 100 most influ

Russia mulls allowing cryptocurrency for international payments - Ifax Russia is considering allowing cryptocurrency to be used for international payments, Interfax news agency quoted a government official as saying on Friday. "The idea of using digital currencies in transactions for international settlements is being actively discussed," Ivan Chebeskov, head of the finance ministry's financial policy department, was quoted as saying. Russian officials are wrestling with how to regulate the country's crypto market and use of digital currencies, with the finance ministry opposed to the central bank's calls for a blanket ban. Discussions have been ongoing for months and though the government expects cryptocurrencies to be legalised as a means of payment sooner or later, no consensus has yet been reached. The finance ministry is discussing adding the latest proposal on international payments to an update

Don Walton It's going to be a new ballgame at the State Capitol in 2023. A new governor and at least 15 new state senators, perhaps as many 16, 17 or 18 depending on current contested bids for higher office.  That's a huge turnover, hovering at one-third of the 49-member Legislature, and it's coupled with changes in perhaps the two most powerful and influential leadership positions, namely Speaker of the Legislature and chairperson of the state budget-writing Appropriations Committee. Eleven senators will be term-limited out of office; two decided to not seek reelection; Sen. Rich Pahls of Omaha died in April; and Speaker Mike Hilgers of Lincoln does not have a Democratic challenger in the general election contest for attorney general after winning the Republican nomination in May.  Three senators who will not be term-l

We expect to see Black Friday deals that discount products, not just give them away . But here we are, a bunch of TV and streaming obsessed folks staring at the same surprising deal. Sling TV is just handing out units of the Chromecast with Google TV. Right now Sling will give you a free Chromecast with Google TV with the purchase of one month of Sling TV (opens in new tab) (starting at $35). That's savings of $50, the entire price of the Chromecast.  Or you could think of it as getting $15 off the regular price of the Chromecast. Either way, it's a great deal, especially if you've never tries Sling before. Already cut the cord, or have Sling, and want the Chromecast at a discount? We've also found a $10 off (that's 20%) sale from Google itself.  If you've never tried Sling TV before, this is the perfect time to give it a spin. Both of our streaming writers (myself and Kelly Woo) chose it as the way we cut the cord, for its affordable price a

On January 25, 1990, a group of terrorists, led by Yasin Malik, fired at Air Force personnel, including a Squadron Leader, Ravi Khanna, who died in the attack, while 22 other personnel were injured. The CBI had filed a chargesheet in the case in 1990 itself. Apart from Malik, others accused in the IAF case include BA Sofi, Mohd Rafiq Pehlu alias Nanaji, Javed Ahmed Mir and Showkat Ahmad Bakshi. At least three of the accused, including JKLF founder Amanullah Khan, the suspected mastermind of the attack, have passed away while four, who were declared absconders by the court on September 17, 1990 are yet to be arrested. But, the case went quiet. Several people believe that the case went inactive because Yasin Malik enjoyed privilege and power for so many years at the expense of the Indian establishment.

SUNAMGANJ: North-east Bangladesh's worst floods in nearly 20 years began receding on Sunday, but rescue workers were struggling to help millions marooned by extreme weather across the region that has killed around 60 people.Floods are a regular menace to millions of people in low-lying Bangladesh and neighbouring northeast India, but many experts say that climate change is increasing the frequency, ferocity and unpredictability. In the past week after heavy rains in India, floodwater breached a major embankment in Bangladesh's Sylhet region, affecting around two million people, swamping dozens of villages and killing at least 10. Arifuzzman Bhuiyan, head of the state-run Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre, told AFP that the floods had hit some 70 percent of Sylhet district and about 60 percent of neighbouring Sunamganj. "It is one of the worst floods in the region," he told AFP. But he said the situation would improve further in the next few days after heavy rai

Polling released on Friday by CNN indicates that Americans generally view the two main political parties as equivalently extreme in their views and policies. It's a finding that's interesting in the context of the recent debate over partisan extremism, prompted by Elon Musk's meme on the subject — but also one that's interesting for the question it raises about the inherent subjectivity of "extreme." If the extreme becomes normal, is it still extreme? Sign up for How To Read This Chart, a weekly data newsletter from Philip Bump Since 2000, CNN and its polling partners (most recently the firm SSRS) have occasionally been asking Americans to evaluate the extent to which either party is either mainstream or extreme. If we pick out the last time the question was asked in years for which data is available, the pattern looks like this. Notice two things. The first is that the trend in perceived extremism for the Democratic Party has been generally upward (after the

You may have been wondering why all of Google's apps have been receiving Material You redesigns while the Google News app remains boring and old school (the current design is still really nice). In recent memory, the "For you" tab has rethought its layout, using Google's bold, new font, and playfully colored headings, but just on mobile. As for the web layout, News has remained almost entirely the same for a long while. In version "gnews_webapk_unit_20200515_RC00" of the Google News Progressive Web App installed from the Google Play Store, we've encountered the beautiful mobile Material You layout on our Chromebooks. In the example above, you can see the tinted blue backdrop, colorful headings, rounded corners for cards, and larger images along with the two-column Full Coverage section. Most notably, the left-hand navigation is now aligned at the top, freeing up loads of space. The weather widget is also across from the "Your briefing" heading

Marc Glendening is the Head of Cultural Affairs at the Institute of Economic Affairs. The decision by the Government, confirmed in the Queen's Speech, to drop its intention to make 'gender-conversion therapy' illegal has, predictably, aroused outrage among those who subscribe to Politically Weaponised Transgenderism (PWT). Principally, Stonewall and its allies. It is utterly incredible to think that a supposedly Conservative  government &

In 1978, a joint congressional resolution established Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week. The first 10 days of May were chosen to coincide with two important milestones in Asian/Pacific American history: the arrival in the United States of the first Japanese immigrants (May 7, 1843) and contributions of Chinese workers to the building of the transcontinental railroad completed May 10, 1869. In 1992, Congress expanded the observance to a monthlong celebration that is now known as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Per a 1997 U.S. Office of Management and Budget directive, the Asian or Pacific Islander racial category was separated into two categories: one being Asian and the other Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander. Thus, this Facts for Features contains a section for each. "This month, we celebrate our fellow Americans from Asian American and Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities and pay tribute to all they have done to help fulfill the p
