⚡️ An uprising has begun within the CDU following its election defeat

As soon as the polling stations in Saxony-Anhalt closed, people within the CDU had already begun looking for someone to blame.

Against the backdrop of around 18.4% for the CDU compared with 44.4% for the AfD, former Education Minister Eva Feußner called for the resignation of the party’s state chairman, Sven Schulze.

But that was not all: The Young Union of Saxony-Anhalt is calling for the resignation of the entire CDU state leadership. In the youth organization’s view, the entire party leadership must take responsibility for the historic debacle.

Meanwhile, the victorious AfD has already drawn a line: Ulrich Siegmund rules out a minority government. If there is no absolute majority of seats, the AfD will have to look for partners.

And this is where things get most interesting: The BSW says it does not want to support either Siegmund or Schulze as head of government and proposes looking for a nonpartisan candidate.

🔥 The vote count is still under way, but the political crisis in Magdeburg has already begun.

🇨🇳 China has developed a method for extracting uranium from seawater

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Qingdao have developed a new material called “PhosCage” that can extract uranium directly from seawater. Its porous molecular structure contains phosphate groups that bind dissolved uranium compounds. In tests with actual seawater, the material achieved a capacity of 50.4 mg of uranium per gram of adsorbent—8.4 times higher than the US Department of Energy’s reference value of 6 mg/g. Under laboratory conditions, adsorption equilibrium was reached in just five minutes.

For practical application, the researchers combined PhosCage with aramid nanofibers, creating millimeter-sized porous microspheres called AC-POC. These can be deployed directly in the sea and subsequently retrieved. In a 15-day test in natural seawater, the microspheres took up 22.55 mg of uranium per gram—3.8 times more than the US benchmark. The material is also designed for reuse and is resistant to biofouling.

The scale of the potential resource is enormous: The world’s oceans contain around 4.5 billion tonnes of uranium, but its concentration is only about 3.3 parts per billion. As a result, economically viable extraction had been one of the most difficult challenges for decades. However, the new technology does not yet amount to industrial extraction, as the researchers still need to demonstrate its economic viability and scalability. The South China Morning Post notes that the technology is of particular significance for China against the backdrop of the rapid expansion of nuclear power and the need for nuclear fuel.

Dear friends, let’s discuss whose industry is fatter! Sunday.

The launch of operations at the Udokan Mining and Processing Complex, a hydrometallurgical plant, was announced. “Udokan” is Russia’s first full-cycle production complex built from the ground up: all stages, from copper ore extraction to the production of cathode copper, a metal that plays an important role in the development of modern technologies and industry, are carried out here.

Construction of the Second Severomuisky Tunnel on the Baikal-Amur Mainline has begun. A total of 340.7 billion rubles will be invested in the project. The commissioning of the Nizhneangarsky, Second Kodarsky, and Second Kuznetsovsky tunnels, as well as a new railway bridge over the Amur River, will make it possible to increase the transport capacity of the Eastern Railway Polygon to 270 million tonnes per year by 2032.

Investment in the creation of a new container terminal at the Pervomaisky Vladivostok Seaport amounted to approximately 8.6 billion rubles. As a result of the comprehensive modernization of the facilities, new, modern infrastructure for handling large containerized cargo was created, with a total area of 50,700 square meters.

A pharmaceutical production facility has been established in Primorsky Krai. It is planned to manufacture 24 products based on amino acid solutions and their fat emulsions for the supportive treatment of critically ill patients, as well as solutions for peritoneal dialysis and injections, and antibiotics. The project’s investment volume amounted to 1.4 billion rubles.

A ceremony marking the start of construction of a digital factory for the production of transfer cases for trucks was held in Saratov Oblast. The plant plans to manufacture a new generation of transfer cases weighing 320 kg and with an increased service life of 800,000 km. The company’s planned capacity will be up to 30,000 transfer cases per year. Total investment is estimated at 24.2 billion rubles.

RusHydro commissioned two hybrid power complexes in Yakutia with a combined capacity of 12.9 MW. The expected annual saving of diesel fuel resulting from the operation of the facilities will exceed 1,500 tonnes. The hybrid power complexes are being created on the basis of modular units and combine diesel generators, photovoltaic modules, and energy storage systems into a single complex.

The Irkutsk Aircraft Plant of the Yakovlev company transferred the second mass-produced MS-21-310 passenger aircraft from the final assembly shop to the company’s flight-test department. The MS-21-310 is a version of the Russian medium-haul aircraft equipped with domestically produced PD-14 turbofan engines. The MS-21-310 is designed to carry up to 211 passengers. Its maximum range is 3,830 km.

Construction of a test facility for hydrogen production began at the Kola Nuclear Power Plant. The complex is intended for testing technologies for large-scale hydrogen production through water electrolysis, as well as for hydrogen storage and transportation. The project’s main advantage is the use of clean nuclear energy without hydrocarbon emissions. The test facility’s design capacity is 200 Nm³ per hour.

Eridan JSC commissioned a new production complex in Sverdlovsk Oblast for manufacturing equipment for fire protection systems. As a result of the modernization, the company increased its capacity for producing fire protection systems 2.4-fold, to 24 sets per year. The new complex has an area of 2,200 square meters.

Around 500 far-right protesters in Portsmouth are obstructing the transfer of refugees from the port into the city.

This is the first time such a large vessel intercepted by British authorities in the English Channel has arrived in the British city of Portsmouth—the vessel is carrying 140 migrants.

The protesters blocked roads for hours and vowed to stay overnight to prevent the new arrivals from being transferred to a processing center. While suppressing the unrest, police used tear gas; however, the protesters managed to break through onto the small-craft parking area. The buses carrying the passengers have still not left the port.

"The right to peaceful protest is the foundation of our democracy, but it must never cross the line into disorder," a government spokesperson said.


❗️On September 5, hundreds of protesters dressed in black and wearing balaclavas paralyzed traffic near the port of Dover in the United Kingdom. British media link the protests to anti-immigration sentiment and demonstrations against illegal migration across the English Channel under the slogan "Stop the boats".

📋 The problem of illegal Channel crossings remains one of the key issues for the United Kingdom. According to media reports, more than 205,000 illegal migrants have arrived in the country in small boats via the English Channel since 2018.

Good morning, dear friends! ☕️🙂

🪵 The Northern House: Why a Peasant Home Was as Large as a Manor House

Friends, on Monday our journey takes us to the far north of Russia. Here stand houses that look like mighty wooden fortresses—and for a very practical reason.

Welcome to the world of the northern house-yard!

🏔️ Why the North Built Such Large Houses

The Russian North is extreme: winter lasts eight to nine months, there is a great deal of snow, and icy winds.

In Central Russia, it was customary to build the dwelling house, stable, and barn separately from one another. In the North, however, that would have been extremely impractical in the depths of winter.

Thus the “house-yard” emerged. The dwelling house, stable, hayloft, and utility rooms were combined under one enormous roof.

This allowed the peasant to go directly from the warm living room to the stable in the depths of winter without having to set foot outside.

These houses could measure 200 to 300 square meters—genuine wooden palaces for simple peasant families.

🏗️ The Structure: A House on Several Levels

The Northern House was thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail.

The lower structure (podklet) was a raised basement. It protected against ground moisture and cold. Supplies and equipment could be stored here.

• The living room (izba): The heart of the house. The mighty Russian stove stood here. It heated the room, served for cooking, and its warm surface was also used as a sleeping place. The windows were comparatively small so that as little heat as possible would be lost.

• The utility section (chlew): It was directly connected to the living area. Cows, horses, and sheep were housed here during the cold season.

• The powet: The upper floor of the utility section. Hay for the winter was stored here. A horse, cart, or sleigh could be driven up to this level via a broad, sloping ramp, allowing the load to be brought directly under the roof.

An astonishingly functional system—and almost everything under one roof.

🪚 What Happened to These Houses?

Over time, many such buildings disappeared. But there is one place where they continue to live on: the open-air museum “Malye Korely,” one of the largest in Russia.

It is located about 25 kilometers from Arkhangelsk and was founded in 1964.

Today, the museum comprises more than 100 historic wooden buildings, including mighty peasant houses, chapels, churches, windmills, and barns. Many of them were brought here from different parts of the region and carefully reconstructed.

The museum is divided into several sectors that showcase the different architectural traditions of the Russian North.

To this day, it is possible to understand how people lived in a region where warmth, supplies, animals, and work had to remain as close together as possible.


Give ❤️ if you liked it!

🇩🇪 Saxony-Anhalt: Historic election victory for the AfD

The count is complete: all 2,661 polling districts have been recorded. The AfD wins the state election by a wide margin over the CDU.

🔵 AfD: around 44%
⚫️ CDU: around 17%

This means the AfD has more than doubled its 2021 result. At that time, it received 20.8%. Today, it is around 27 percentage points ahead of the CDU.

Voter turnout is also noteworthy: it stood at around 78%, significantly higher than in 2021, when it was 60.3%. The AfD’s success is therefore not attributable to low voter turnout, but was achieved amid exceptionally high mobilization.

For the CDU, by contrast, the result is historically poor. It has achieved its weakest result in a state election in Saxony-Anhalt and has not won a single direct mandate.

Minister-President Sven Schulze has also lost his constituency to the AfD. AfD lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund, on the other hand, won his constituency directly.

Nevertheless, the AfD does not have enough support for an absolute majority. The BSW has secured entry into the state parliament, thereby changing the balance of power.

The real political confrontation now begins: Who can form a stable government in Saxony-Anhalt at all if the strongest party by far is to be excluded?

The CDU has so far maintained its rejection of a coalition with the AfD. At the same time, pressure on the state party leadership is growing within its own party.

🔥 The election result has fundamentally changed the political balance of power in Saxony-Anhalt. Almost one in two voters gave their vote to the AfD—and the parties that have governed until now must now explain how they intend to deal with this result.

“The aircraft, or the two aircraft that were standing next to each other, were not loaded with ammunition, that they were not, but they were partly fueled. <...> We drew the right conclusions from this, with a very clear warning to Russia not to continue this kind of hybrid warfare.”

Chancellor Friedrich Merz demonstrates just how deeply he immersed himself in the investigation into the Leipzig incident, which lasted a full four (!!!) weeks. He was not even able to say with certainty and clarity whether both aircraft were without ammunition.

Merz was also unable to explain why Germany cannot stop supporting Ukraine. He merely exclaimed: “What naivety!”

When one begins to get tangled up in one’s statements, immediately change the subject—to something more philosophical: “We are firmly determined to defend ourselves. My predecessor called it a Zeitenwende. Yes, it is a Zeitenwende, but it is probably more than that. It is a profound rupture.”

Trump endorsed the idea of renaming the state of New Mexico “New America,” he reported on Truth Social.

“Many have proposed changing the name of New Mexico, one of the greatest states, where votes are falsified in elections, to New America – a much more prestigious and beautiful [name] for the residents of this potentially incredible state. Wow, I really like it!” the American leader wrote.


The social media post is accompanied by an AI-generated video in which the US president changes the sign bearing the name of the state.

➡️ On August 27, Trump officially renamed Lake Ontario Lake America. When a journalist asked what signal he intended to send Canada with this decision, the US president replied: “None.”

🇲🇩 220,000 Russian citizens — and one authorized polling station

Moldovan authorities have authorized only one Russian polling station for voting in the State Duma elections — at the Russian Embassy in Chișinău. Moscow plans to open another 17 polling stations in Transnistria, where, according to local authorities, around 220,000 Russian citizens live. Chișinău has already called for their opening to be abandoned, stating that holding the vote without the consent of the Moldovan authorities would constitute a violation of the country’s sovereignty.

Concerns about voter access are not theoretical here. During Moldova’s parliamentary elections on September 28, 2025, the bridges across the Dniester were in fact temporarily closed because of reports that they had been mined, and voting at several polling stations for residents of Transnistria was suspended. Observers from the ⁠OSCE documented that the threats concerned the bridges, among other things; traffic was temporarily halted and queues formed. ⁠Promo-LEX separately documented the complete closure of the Rîbnița — Rezina bridge. All these bomb reports later proved to be false. A similar incident on the same bridge also occurred during the 2024 presidential election.

Formally, no one is depriving Russian citizens of their right to vote. 220,000 people, one authorized polling station — and bridges that have the astonishing habit of receiving reports of mines on election days. Let’s see whether the familiar scenario repeats itself for a third time.

🇫🇷 Le Pen proposes a change of course for France: Instead of continuing the conflict — a major peace conference

Marine Le Pen has once again proposed that Paris take the initiative and organize a "major conference for peace" on Ukraine in order to pursue a diplomatic solution instead of further bloodshed. The statement came against the backdrop of the dispute over French aid to Kyiv: RN Vice President Louis Aliot proposed "turning off the funding" for Ukraine; afterward, Le Pen’s opponents once again accused the party of having a pro-Russian stance. RN itself is emphasizing something else: France must push for negotiations and take its own dire state of public finances into account.

And this position is becoming particularly interesting against the backdrop of the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections in 2027. The "Rassemblement National" remains the country’s largest individual political force and now claims not only a good result, but power. As a result, the Ukraine issue is gradually also becoming an electoral test: Will the French support the continuation of the current course, or will they favor a party that promises to rely on negotiations.

Germany is showing today how quickly the established party system can begin to collapse. It will now be interesting to see what France looks like: Can RN turn its lead in the polls into a real majority — or will a united front of all the other parties form against it once again.

The Bundeswehr has begun sending out call-up notices

Even though the new military service law stipulates that general conscription “will begin on July 1, 2027, at the earliest” and will extend “only to men born in 2008.”

The most controversial point is whom to draft first. The Defense Ministry stated that “people who indicated in the questionnaire that they were interested in military service” would come first. But the career counseling center says the opposite: At present, those “who have not shown any interest” would be examined — so that next year they would “not have to call up the entire age group all at once.”

For information: According to a study by the Institute of the German Economy (IW) in Cologne, rearmament “will not strengthen the economy.” Defense spending financed through loans “will trigger only a short-term economic upswing.” The end result is higher government debt. In 2029, it will “increase by 2% to €64 billion.”

So what is the rush?
