Inspectors set to visit Russian-controlled nuclear plant amidst increased shelling by Ukraine
As renewed shelling intensified fears about a nuclear accident at the Zaporizhzhia power plant, Ukrainian authorities stepped up emergency drills Saturday and rushed to hand out potassium iodide, a drug that can protect people from radiation-induced thyroid cancer, to tens of thousands of people living near the facility. Comment: Ukraine are practicing a nuclear fall out drill for a catastrophe that their shelling would cause. In a country still haunted by the memory of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, officials urged the public not to panic even as complex negotiations to allow for a team of scientists from the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit the Russian-controlled plant in southeastern Ukraine took on added urgency. The agency, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, has assembled a team of experts to travel to Zaporizhzhia — Europe's largest nuclear power station — as early as this week.

Sweden reveals complication in NATO talks between Turkey and PKK
Turkey has repeatedly raised the issue of photos of Swedish MPs waving PKK flags, Stockholm's foreign minister said Talks with Turkey on Sweden's accession to NATO have become more difficult, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde said on Saturday. This is due to photos having emerged in July showing several left-wing Swedish parliamentarians posing with flags of a Kurdish organization Ankara considers terrorist. In June, following a series of intense negotiations, Turkey agreed to formally back the accession of Stockholm and Helsinki to the US-led military bloc on the condition that they crack down on groups that Ankara has designated terrorist organizations. Among them are Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) activists who sought asylum in the two Nordic states, and followers of the exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen. Deliberations on how to implement the agreement, which was signed during the NATO summit in Madrid, are still ongoing.

FDA to release latest COVID booster shots BEFORE human testing is complete
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to approve new COVID-19 booster shots this week — before the vaccines are tested on humans, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal. The new boosters are similar to the COVID vaccines currently available in the US with minor modifications that protect recipients from the latest version of the Omicron variant. Instead of waiting for data from testing in humans, the agency will use data from trials in mice — as well as the real-world evidence of the safety of currently available COVID vaccines and test results from earlier iterations of boosters targeting older strains — to evaluate the newest boosters, FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said.

Interview with a Montenegrin writer - World War II continues in Donbass
Having gained independence, Ukraine began to work against itself, against its historical memory, severing its own cultural and spiritual roots. Philosopher and writer from Montenegro Milutin Mićović is a frequent guest in Russia, a participant in international literary forums. He is convinced that Russian culture, despite any historical cataclysms, has preserved the connection with the people's memory and the ability to revive. Today Milutin Mićović reflects on what, in his view, is the historical meaning of the current events in Ukraine. He also shared his observations about how the tragic rift that emerged in the once united Slavic nation is assessed in the Balkan states. Rossa Primavera News Agency: Milutin, please tell us, what is your personal attitude to the ongoing events in Ukraine? Milutin Mićović: It has turned out that the conflict in Ukraine is multilayered. Many people, both in the East and in the West, are already saying that there is a battle between the collective...

'A vile, cruel crime': How Darya Dugina, daughter of philosopher Aleksandr, died and what it means for Russia
Russia was shocked by the brutal murder and the FSB believes Ukraine is responsible. Last weekend, a brutal murder stunned Russia. A young woman got into her car and drove home after a busy day at a literature and musical festival. She was on the highway when a bomb went off and her SUV caught fire. She died at the scene. Darya Dugina's devastated father, who was in a friend's car right beside his daughter's, watched as the rescue services extracted the burned body from the wreck. The attack immediately became a matter of national importance. Leaders of political parties and top Russian officials attended her funeral, while the president posthumously decorated her with a state award. RT explains why the death of Dugina may become a symbol of Russia's external political struggle, and what the Kremlin will do next.

Eye movements in REM sleep mimic gazes in the dream world
When our eyes move during REM sleep, we're gazing at things in the dream world our brains have created, according to a new study by researchers at UC San Francisco. The findings shed light not only into how we dream, but also into how our imaginations work. REM sleep - named for the rapid eye movements associated with it - has been known since the 1950s to be the phase of sleep when dreams occur. But the purpose of the eye movements has remained a matter of much mystery and debate. "We showed that these eye movements aren't random. They're coordinated with what's happening in the virtual dream world of the mouse," said Massimo Scanziani, PhD, senior author on the study, which appears in the Aug. 25, 2022, issue of Science. "This work gives us a glimpse into the ongoing cognitive processes in the sleeping brain and at the same time solves a puzzle that's triggered the curiosity of scientists for decades," he said.

Deadly protests as powerful Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr says he's quitting politics
An influential Shiite cleric announced Monday he would resign from Iraqi politics, prompting hundreds of his angry followers to storm the government palace and sparking violent clashes with security forces in which at least three protesters were killed. Medical officials said at least 15 protesters were wounded by gunfire and a dozen more were injured by tear gas and physical altercations with riot police in the protests that followed the announcement by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Iraq's military announced a nation-wide curfew and the caretaker premier suspended Cabinet sessions in response to the violence. Iraq's government has been deadlocked since al-Sadr's party won the largest share of seats in October parliamentary elections, but not enough to secure a majority government. His refusal to negotiate with his Iran-backed Shiite rivals and subsequent exit from the talks has catapulted the country into political uncertainty and volatility amid intensifying intra-Shiite...

Ozzy Osbourne moving back to England due to high crime in US
The iconic Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon are returning home to England after two decades in the United States because he doesn't want to "die in America." The couple cite "crazy" gun violence, high taxes and political strife keeping Americans divided as reasons for leaving their Beverly Hills home to a large estate in Buckinghamshire. "Everything's f*cking ridiculous there. I'm fed up with people getting killed every day," said Osbourne in an interview for the Guardian. "God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert... It's fucking crazy." "And I don't want to die in America. I don't want to be buried in f*cking Forest Lawn," he said of the LA cemetery where celebrities are buried. "I'm English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we've got to go and live in Timbuktu, I'll go."

Chaos erupts in Iraq as al-Sadr supporters storm Green Zone after he quits calling for dissolution of parliament
Iraq's powerful Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr has announced he is quitting political life and closing his political offices in a move that inflamed tensions and prompted protests by his supporters. Gunfire rang out in the Green Zone of the capital Baghdad and security forces launched tear gas canisters on Monday to disperse al-Sadr supporters converging on the area. At least 10 people have been killed, the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies reported. Al-Sadr's statement, published on Twitter, came after months of protests by supporters backing his call for new elections and for the dissolution of the Iraqi parliament, which has seen 10 months of deadlock - representing the longest Iraq has gone without a government.
