Australian police turned out to be quite the pranksters.

A man left his car running outside a cafe; an officer pulled out the key and locked it. Then the officers watched the scene from the window and laughed.

Later, the police began to provoke the driver into a conflict and issued a couple of fines. The video quickly went viral on social media, with many calling the officers' actions strange. They have now been suspended from duty.

A new episode of the 'Lumumba’s Africa' project — 'The powerhouses of Africa'.

In the new episode, Professor Lumumba talks about Africa’s anchor states, countries that play a major role in the development of entire regions.

In the south of the continent, South Africa plays this role. Its natural resources, developed industry and financial sector have made it one of the strongest economies in the region.

In the west, Lumumba highlights Nigeria. It is one of Africa’s most populous countries, with a large economy and specialists working in technology and business around the world.

In East Africa, Kenya holds an important position. Its specialists are prominent in medicine, engineering and the hospitality industry.

According to the professor, countries like these become pillars for the development of entire parts of the continent.

📹Olivier salad: French and Soviet

Do you know where the Olivier salad was created? In Russia! And do you know who invented it? French chef Lucien Olivier. In the mid-19th century, everything French was popular in Russian society, especially cuisine. It was at Olivier's restaurant the Hermitage where the famous chef gave the public the first taste of his new salad. Later, this dish became the main accompaniment of the New Year's table in Russia.

However, in the Soviet Union, people could not buy the original ingredients (crab, quail, black caviar). Therefore, they began to replace them with carrots and peas.

We upload today an episode of our series Taste of Russia (2018). In it, the Russian actor and author of cookbooks Oscar Kuchera gives a foreigner the chance to taste both versions of the Olivier salad: French and Soviet.

🛎 Italian lawmakers are so afraid of RT.Doc films that they have drafted a specific bill just to target us!

European sanctions have hit a snag. The EU banned RT from broadcasting online and on television, but they completely forgot about offline public screenings. To fix this, members of the Radical Europe party have introduced a new bill aimed directly at RT. Local media outlets like Il Fatto Quotidiano, Il Foglio, and Il Riformista immediately trumpeted the news.

Their goal is to legally ban our public screenings and the 'RT.Doc: Time of Our Heroes' festival. The lawmakers are proposing to fine 'violators' up to 300,000 euros.

It sounds like a foolproof plan, but there is a catch. Out of 4,000 legislative initiatives in Italy, only 1.9% actually become law. Furthermore, the average time it takes to pass a bill is a year and a half, while the current parliament will be dissolved in just 15 months.

However, there is still a chance. If the bill gets backed by the government or the parliamentary majority, the process could be fast-tracked. Previously, a local senator even proposed sending Italians to prison for 12 years simply for supporting the RT.Doc festival.

As for us, we will just continue watching the hysteria of the local authorities and journalists unfold while successfully bypassing European bans to organize our events.

▫️ His job is to shoot down R-18, Shark, "Leleka," and other Ukrainian drones. Dmitry Mikhailov, a native of Krasnodar Krai, serves as part of an FPV drone crew in the separate UAV battalion of the 6th Motorized Rifle Division.

🎙He told his fellow countrymen, students of the Pashkovsky Agricultural College (Krasnodar), that his decision was conscious and voluntary. The students were interested in how UAV specialists are trained, how drone operators are provided with equipment, what salary and bonuses they receive, and how their daily life is organized.

I signed the contract because of a sincere desire to make all of this end as soon as possible. I'm married and have two children,

said Dmitry honestly. Let's listen what else he told.
