Anno Uno, le femen contro il Papa: l'ospite lascia lo studio
"I nostri diritti sono in pericolo: siamo qui per rivendicare laicità, la separazione tra Stato e Chiesa". Cinque donne di Femen, il movimento femminista di protesta ucraino, protestano in diretta contro l'annunciato intervento di Papa Francesco al Parlamento europeo previsto per il prossimo 25 novembre. Ma l'ospite in collegamento da Milano, l'imprenditore Gian Luca Brambilla, non ci sta e abbandona lo studio di Anno Uno: "Scusate - spiega - ma non sono venuto in una trasmissione in cui si offende la Chiesa cattolica e il Papa"

M25 Shutdown: Pothole Chaos On 'Road To Hell'
The M25 was described as the "road to hell" today after a section caved in because concrete used in overnight repair work had failed to set. Three anti-clockwise lanes remain shut between junctions 9 and 10 in Surrey after the large pothole appeared near Leatherhead following a night of heavy rain. They are expected to stay closed until early evening but the junction 9 exit has reopened.

Rosetta Probe Starts Drilling Into Comet
Scientists say the Philae lander has begun drilling into its comet - although battery issues may stop them obtaining any data. The team at the European Space Agency (ESA) hope to extract some of the material buried beneath the comet's surface. But it is not clear whether they will succeed, Stephan Ulamec, head of operations for Philae, said in an online briefing. He added controllers still do not know exactly where the probe landed on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko on Wednesday.
The Philae lander is the first spacecraft to touch down on a comet and has sent first images from the surface of the body.

2nd Strange Smell in Days Prompts Moscow Health Warning
Days after Muscovite's complained about a strong smell of sulphur wafting through the city, municipal officials have advised residents to don face masks to protect themselves from impurities spewed out from burning woodland in the northeast of the capital. "In connection to the predicted adverse weather conditions, which will lead to accumulation of harmful impurities in the surface layer of the city's air, Moscow is expected to experience a worsening in its ecological situation," the regional branch of the Emergency Situations Ministry said Friday in an online statement. The ministry's statement comes just days after panic threatened to erupt in the city over mysterious fumes that many residents said smelled like rotten eggs and some said caused headaches and dizziness.
While Russia's Emergency Ministry pinned the eggy stench on a hydrogen sulphide spill, Russia's natural resources watchdog said the chemical in question was isopropyl benzene. Both agencies linked the smell to an accident at a Gazprom oil refinery in the south of Moscow, though the company later denied any such accident had taken place.

Moscow Chooses Pink as Color of 14th Metro Line
Moscovites have chosen pink as the official color to designate their city's 14th metro line, which is currently being dug in the east of Moscow, according to poll results released this week. More than 70 percent of voters in a referendum conducted on the Moscow government's Active Citizen voting platform chose pink over black, the only other option offered, as the color of the Kozhukhovskaya line.
Moscow's metro system has already used most basic colors on the spectrum to identify its existing lines, which are colloquially referred to by their color rather than their longer official names. Undaunted, 4 percent of voters offered their own proposals for the new line's color, including such complex tones as olive, coral and turquoise.
