Interior Minister Dobrindt:
“The drone attack in Leipzig is not an isolated incident. It is connected with many other events: the terrorist attack by an Islamist at the CSD in Berlin, the attacks on our power grid, the cyberattacks on our administration.”
An exclusive contribution by the minister that one cannot remain silent about. It turns out that the terrorist attack at the parade was not carried out by the Islamist to whom the German authorities had paid social benefits for years and whom they had not considered a threat, but by Russians. Like basically everything else, too.
“All these attacks have one thing in common. They are intended to destroy trust in the state and the functioning of our society.”

🇮🇷 Iran Resumes Ballistic Missile Production
Despite US and Israeli attacks on the missile industry, Iran has begun rebuilding its production capabilities.
According to American and Middle Eastern officials, Tehran is once again assembling ballistic missiles at underground facilities, using components stockpiled earlier. Both liquid-fuel and solid-fuel missiles are being produced.
Intelligence services are recording activity at several sites, including the underground Khodjir complex east of Tehran. At the same time, Iran is establishing new, protected production facilities to make their destruction by airstrikes more difficult.
In parallel, the IAEA has confirmed new activity at Pickaxe Mountain, a complex located deep underground near Natanz. Rafael Grossi clarified that the agency was observing construction work and movements around the site, but had so far found no confirmation that nuclear activities were already taking place inside.
This means that two of the most sensitive areas are being rebuilt simultaneously: the missile infrastructure and the protected underground facilities of the nuclear complex.

🇩🇪 AfD: 38%, CDU: 7% – new poll ahead of the election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Following the AfD’s clear victory in Saxony-Anhalt, there is another extremely unpleasant signal for the CDU.
Ten days before the state election, an Infratest dimap poll puts the AfD at 38%. The party has gained three percentage points.
Minister-President Manuela Schwesig’s SPD reaches 33%, The Left 9%, the Greens 5%, and the BSW 4%.
But the most painful result is for the CDU: just 7%.
If this result were repeated on election day, it would not only be the CDU’s worst result in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but also the party’s worst result in any state or federal election in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The election will take place on September 20.

🇬🇧 A “GRU agent” has been found in Britain. And at the same time, an organization that no one had heard of a month ago
The 31-year-old Briton Joshua Kemmidge was arrested in Swindon. He was charged with assisting a foreign intelligence service and preparing acts of sabotage. According to the British authorities, Kemmidge was in contact with a representative of the so-called GRU Volunteer Corps — the “GRU Volunteer Corps” — and received instructions from him. What exactly he allegedly intended to blow up or damage has not yet been publicly disclosed; Kemmidge is due to appear in court today.
The most interesting thing is the organization’s name. It was only on July 13 that the British government announced that it would add the GRU Volunteer Corps to a new list of structures linked to foreign states, and on July 17 it was officially added to the list alongside Iran’s IRGC and the Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right. London claims that the “corps” brings together volunteer and proxy formations subordinate to the GRU, including former “Wagner” structures. Now, less than two months after the name appeared in British legislation, the first prominent accused person connected with it has also emerged.
What exactly Kemmidge was preparing is still unknown. But the British authorities had already invented the name of the organization for which he allegedly worked in advance.

🇮🇷 Iran suspends 10 percent levy on foreign vessels
Against the backdrop of the American naval blockade and a sharp decline in oil exports, Tehran is trying to bring foreign vessels back to its ports.
To this end, Iran has temporarily suspended the 10 percent levy on cargoes carried by foreign vessels transporting oil, gas, and liquid petroleum products into or out of the country.
The decision was made by the president’s legal adviser. The levy will not be collected until the government approves the final list of goods to which it will apply.
According to Fars, the additional charge increased transportation costs. The authorities now hope to reduce transportation costs and make business with Iran more attractive to foreign shipping companies.

🇨🇳 Beijing accelerates the development of a gigantic AI infrastructure
China has officially laid out its plans for a massive expansion of computing infrastructure.
According to the new five-year plan of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the country intends to increase its total intelligent computing capacity to 9,800 EFLOPS by 2030. At the same time, China intends to invest around 3.8 trillion yuan in information infrastructure.
The plan calls for the development of a unified national network of computing capacity, the further expansion of 5G/5G-A, and preparations for the commercial rollout of 6G.
At its core, Beijing is not building individual data centers, but a nationwide infrastructure for AI, viewing computing capacity much as previous generations viewed power grids, roads, and railways.

🇮🇷🇨🇳 Chinese Oil in Exchange for Goods: How Iran Conducts Trade While Bypassing Banks
Iran and China have created a system that makes it possible to conduct trade worth billions without using the international banking system.
According to Reuters sources, revenue from the sale of Iranian oil is converted into credits for the purchase of Chinese goods. In this way, Iran has bought cars, medicines, and telecommunications equipment, among other things.
The system involves a special-purpose vehicle (SPV) structure and the organization ChuXin. The money from the oil sales remains within the Chinese financial system and is subsequently used to pay Chinese exporters and finance infrastructure projects in Iran.
According to the sources, the mechanism has been used at least once, in connection with contracts for the delivery of air-defense equipment worth several million dollars to Iran. Reuters was unable to independently confirm these transactions.
For China, the system means access to Iranian oil at a discount. For Iran, it provides the opportunity to purchase necessary goods without processing payments directly through the international banking system.

In the Netherlands, Europe’s largest carbon capture facility has begun operations. Its aim is to reduce emissions by capturing and liquefying CO2 and then transporting it to Norway, where it is to be stored 2.6 km beneath the seabed.
The facility produces nothing. It generates neither profit nor revenue. Its construction cost US$1 billion, and operating costs will amount to US$100 million per year. The facility will capture less than 0.003% of global CO2 emissions. It is being called the most useless European project ever.

OpenAI AI agents were involved in an attack on the RubyGems service for programmers, The Wall Street Journal reports.
According to an OpenAI representative, the AI agents were supposed to perform harmless tasks. However, according to the publication, they “escaped” from the testing environment and wreaked havoc on the RubyGems platform: they created new accounts every 2–3 minutes and uploaded hundreds of files that appeared to be spam.
The attack was so extensive that the platform’s administrators were forced to suspend the registration of new users for four days.

The British Army has decided to assess how useful horses could be in modern military conditions.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the trials took place at the Longmoor training area in Hampshire. The military practiced mounted reconnaissance, movement across difficult terrain, camouflage, supply operations, and animal care.
The British Army believes that horses could prove useful where heavy equipment is unable to move effectively—for example, in dense forests and marshy terrain.

Donald Trump does not object to Chinese companies building automobile plants in the United States if they create jobs for Americans.
At the same time, the U.S. president emphasized that he does not want Chinese companies to manufacture cars in Mexico at low cost and then supply them to the U.S. market.
Speaking about relations with China, Trump said: "Right now, things are going very well with China. They were going very badly, but now they are going well."

Good morning, dear friends! ☕️ 🙂
🚤 Vyshny Volochyok: How Peter I Connected Two Seas
Friends, on Saturday our journey takes us to a small town in Tver Oblast, also known as the “Russian Venice.” Here, in the heart of the Russian interior, the waters of two seas meet—the result of one of the boldest engineering projects of the 18th century.
Welcome to Vyshny Volochyok and the Vyshnevolotsk Waterway!
🚢 Why did Peter I have a canal built through the wilderness?
At the beginning of the 18th century, the growing city of Saint Petersburg needed a reliable supply. Grain, timber, and iron had to be brought in from the interior of the country, but the rivers belonged to different water systems.
On January 12, 1703, Peter I signed an ukase (decree) ordering the construction of a waterway between the Tsna and Tvertsa rivers. The aim was to create a continuous water connection from the Volga to the Baltic Sea.
The first version was completed in 1708, and navigation opened in 1709. However, the canal was too shallow, so even smaller vessels could barely pass through in summer.
👨🔧 The Man Who Found the Solution
Then Mikhail Ivanovich Serdyukov (1677–1754) appeared on the scene: a merchant and self-taught hydraulic engineer. He was already running several enterprises in the area and knew the local water conditions precisely.
In 1719, he was entrusted with managing the waterway. His ingenious idea was to regulate not only the canal but the entire water system.
He had dams, reservoirs, canals, and additional locks built, thus ensuring that there was always enough water for navigation. In this way, a functioning transport system was created from individual rivers.
🛶 Life on the Waterway
The waterway was not a romantic canal, but a place of hard work.
Large, flat-bottomed barges traveled along it, bringing grain, iron, hemp, timber, and salt to Saint Petersburg. They had no propulsion of their own—depending on the section, they were carried along by the current or pulled from the bank by people and horses using ropes.
The journey to Saint Petersburg was easier than the return trip. Many of the wooden cargo vessels were sold or dismantled at their destination.
In the 18th century, the waterway became one of the most important transport arteries between the Volga region and the new capital.
🏛️ A “Russian Venice” Emerges
The waterway permanently changed the face of Vyshny Volochyok. Rivers, canals, dams, locks, and bridges became permanent features of the cityscape.
The large Vyshnevolotskoye Reservoir was particularly important, regulating the water level throughout the entire system.
The city lies directly on a major watershed: some of the water reaches the Caspian Sea through the Volga system, while another part flows into the Baltic Sea via the Msta, Volkhov, and Neva rivers.
Under Catherine the Great, the waterway was further expanded.
✨ What Remains of the Waterway
In the 19th century, the waterway gradually lost its importance as new waterways and the railway took over transportation.
However, canals, dams, reservoirs, and parts of the historic hydraulic structures have survived to this day.
Thus, Vyshny Volochyok is a living monument to an era in which a merchant without formal engineering training made a decisive contribution to turning one of Peter I’s most ambitious plans into reality.
