From Pravda about Tymoshenko (via twitter)
Гурген Григорян: Тимошенко еще не сказала последнего слова
Заместитель главного редактора газеты "Неделя" Гурген Григорян в интервью корреспонденту Pravda.Ru рассказал о расстановке сил во властных кругах Украины.
Ближайшие соратники Тимошенко переметнулись в партию Порошенко, они считают, что он сейчас сильный, при власти. Одни хотят сохранить свои должности, другие — свой бизнес. Внутреннее противоречие между ними есть, и чем оно закончится, еще неизвестно.
Gurgen Grigoryan: Tymoshenko has not said the last word
Deputy editor of the newspaper "Week" Gurgen Grigoryan in an interview with Pravda.Ru spoke about the balance of power in government circles of Ukraine.
- Can we say that now in the Ukrainian government, there are several groups that, despite the war in the south-east of the country, are in a state of active warfare?
- I believe that, despite the fact that most Ukrainian politicians are united in a common theme of the Russian enemy, an external enemy, talking about it and Poroshenko and Yatseniuk, Tymoshenko and Kolomoysky, inside they have a clan struggle. The closest allies of Tymoshenko's gone over to the party Poroshenko, they believe that he is now strong in power. Some want to keep their jobs, while others - your business. Internal contradiction between them is, and how it will end remains to be seen.
I think that Tymoshenko has not yet said its last word, especially as it has already formed an alliance, or soon will conclude with Kolomoiskiy, which is the first opponent Poroshenko.

Kazakhstan MP responds to Vladimir Putin's statement on lack of statehood in Kazakhstan
Maulen Ashimbayev, Chairman of the Majilis Committee for International Affairs, Defense and Security, has commented on the much-talked-about statement on Kazakhstan’s statehood made by President Vladimir Putin of Russia, Tengrinews reports. In his Q and A session on August 29 Russia's Putin praised President Nazarbayev for creating a state "in a territory that had never had a state before" and maintained that "the Kazakhs had no statehood" before. This statement raised a rumble among the population of the neighbouring Kazakhstan that felt that their history was being misinterpreted. “I believe it is incorrect to assert that there had been no statehood at Kazakhstan's territory. Maybe the statement was taken out of the context in which it occurred. Maybe it was an impromptu statement, rather than a carefully prepared one. However, I believe it is wrong to say there was no statehood in Kazakhstan”, Mr. Ashimbayev told the journalists before the joint sitting of the Parliament today.
“We are all aware our statehood goes back to centuries ago. The roots of the statehood go back to the era of the Great Turk State. After that we were part of the Golden Horde, which was followed by periods of individual Kazakh khans. All these were distinct milestones of the statehood in Kazakhstan’s territory. Therefore we cannot agree that Kazakhstan had no statehood,” he said. At the same time he warned against overly dramatising the situation. “The political situation is rather emotionally charged over the developments in Ukraine. Some phrases might have been taken out of context,” he added.

Other 12 victims in the scandal of Rotherham
Twelve more victims have come forward with allegations of child sexual abuse in Rotherham, police have said. South Yorkshire Chief Constable David Crompton said the dozen had reported the claims since a damning report was published last week into a child sex exploitation scandal in the town. The Jay Report criticised the failure of both Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire Police to respond to the abuse of 1,400 young people between 1997 and 2013. The report detailed harrowing examples of girls from the town - many of them in local authority care - who were raped, trafficked and threatened with extreme violence.

Sotloff killed by IS
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29038217An Islamic State video has appeared which purports to show the beheading of Steven Sotloff, a US journalist being held hostage by the militants. Mr Sotloff, 31, disappeared in Syria in 2013. He appeared at the end of a video last month which showed fellow US journalist James Foley being killed. After Mr Foley's death, Mr Sotloff's mother appealed to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to save her son's life. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said US officials were checking the reports. The US has recently carried out dozens of air strikes against IS targets in Iraq. BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says the apparent beheading is a way for IS to get back at the US for its actions.The video shows a masked figure together with Mr Sotloff, who is dressed in an orange jumpsuit. The masked man describes the act he is about to commit as retribution for the US air strikes. "I'm back, Obama, and I'm back because of your arrogant foreign policy towards the Islamic State... despite our serious warnings," the fighter said.

Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador: Increased activity
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-29030304
Seismologists in Ecuador say the Tungurahua volcano is showing increased activity. About 40 explosions were registered on Monday and even though their intensity diminished, experts have not ruled out a renewed sudden increase. An ash cloud up to 3km (1.8 miles) in height has been rising from the volcano over the past few days. Tungurahua, which had been dormant until 1999, lies 135km (85 miles) south-east of the capital, Quito.

Russian sex Geckos 'died together in space but weren't mummified'
Autopsies performed on Russia's infamous sex geckos indicate that they died en masse about two days prior to their return to earth, leading scientist Sergei Savelyev said Tuesday. Russian news reports had claimed earlier that the geckos were found frozen and "mummified," a claim resolutely denied by Savelyev, the man in charge of the experiment. Their mission was simple: have sex in order to facilitate research on the effects of microgravity on reproduction.
They were launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan nearly two months ago to carry out a 60-day mission. But citing the mission's apparent success, Russia's space agency Roscosmos announced last week that the crew would return home after only 44 days in orbit. Sadly, the entire crew of sex geckos was found dead on arrival in Orenburg on Monday. Savelyev told reporters that autopsies were expected to be conducted on the entire five-gecko crew by the end of Tuesday.

Man Throws Stone at Woman for Not Standing for Russian National Anthem
A beachgoer in southern Russia has faced a backlash of online criticism for reportedly throwing a stone at a woman for failing to stand for the national anthem. The incident supposedly took place at a bar in the Black Sea resort of Anapa when a DJ asked for "all those who love their homeland to stand up [for the anthem] and throw stones at those who don't," according to an account posted on Facebook by the woman's sister, Natalya Zakharova.
As the woman remained seated, she was approached by a middle-aged man who hurled verbal abuse and threw a stone at her, said Zakharova, who uploaded pictures of the alleged offender with the words: "I attach photos of the bastard."

Exchange Rate Volatility Won't Deter Russia From Floating Ruble
As the ruble weakens to record levels against the dollar and euro, Russia's Central Bank is preparing to let it float free, likely leading to a short-term inflation hike and further devaluing the currency, financial analysts said Tuesday.
In the long run, however, the removal of currency controls will lead to a healthier economy that favors sustained investment rather than speculative trading, they said. An economic slump and six months of crisis in Ukraine have caused the ruble to devalue sharply. At 7 p.m. on Tuesday the ruble was trading at 37.45 to the dollar, just short of the record of 37.5 to the dollar it reached on Monday. The Russian currency was at 42.7 rubles to the dual-currency euro-dollar basket the Central Bank uses to monitor the ruble's value, close to the 43.3 ruble historical maximum set in March. The Central Bank said it would start buying currency to support the ruble if it weakened to 44.4 rubles to the basket.

Terrore a Jesi per uomo con machete
Era stato arrestato poco tempo fa per avere preso a testate un carabiniere, ma era subito tornato in libertà O.P., il ventiseienne bloccato ieri sera dagli uomini dell'Arma e dalla polizia dopo che si era aggirato per circa un'ora nel centro storico di Jesi, minacciando i passanti con due machete rubati in un'armeria.

L'uomo è stato infine bloccato e arrestato grazie anche al coraggio del cap.
