Russia says it's shot down more than 100 drones Ukraine fired at it
MOSCOW — The Russian Defense Ministry said 110 drones were destroyed in the overnight barrage against seven Russian regions. Many targeted Russia’s border region of Kursk, where 43 drones were reportedly shot down.Social media footage appeared to show air defenses at work over the city of Dzerzhinsk in the Nizhny Novgorod region, close to a factory producing explosives.Local Gov. Gleb Nikitin wrote on social media on Sunday that four fighters had been injured repelling a drone attack over Dzerzhinsk's industrial zone, but did not give further details.Such large-scale aerial attacks are still relatively rare over Russia 2 1/2 years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.A similar attack at the end of September saw Russia’s Ministry of Defense...

Lucy Letby
More babies harmed in care of UK killer nurse, evidence suggests
LONDON — New evidence seen by the BBC suggests more babies in Lucy Letby’s care were harmed – and in one case poisoned with insulin.The former nurse was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others — including trying to kill two with insulin at the Countess of Chester Hospital neonatal unit between June 2015 and June 2016.BBC One's Panorama has seen documents which suggest a third baby may have also been poisoned within hours of Letby taking over the boy’s care.Medical records reveal the infant’s blood sugar level plummeted and lab results indicated he had suspiciously high levels of insulin.Panorama has also discovered that potentially life-threatening incidents involving infants occurred on almost a third of Letby’s 33 shifts while she...

Currently only small planes can take off and land at Nuuk Airport
New airports set to open up Greenland
NUUK, Greenland — A new international airport will soon open in Greenland’s capital Nuuk, allowing larger aircraft to land for the first time — paving the way for direct flights from the US and Europe.It’s the first of three airport projects that officials hope will boost the local economy, by making the Arctic territory more accessible than ever before.Covered by an ice cap and sparsely populated, Greenland is a vast autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.Its capital Nuuk, on the southwestern coast, is a small town of 18,000 residents. Modern apartment blocks and colorful wooden cottages look out over a wide sea fjord.Sitting on a hillside above the city, small 35-seat propeller planes take off and land from a tarmac airstrip. Currently anyone wishing to fly overseas...

Thousands of Georgians join pro-EU march in Tbilisi ahead of next week's elections
TBLISI — Tens of thousands of Georgians have marched through the streets of the capital Tbilisi in a show of support for their country joining the European Union.The rally comes just a week ahead of parliamentary elections, set to take place on 26 October, which are widely seen as a bellwether to determine if Georgia returns to Russia's orbit or continues on its pro-European path."It's the last gathering before the upcoming elections and this is not under any political banner, this is under the banner of the unity for European future of Georgia," said pro-EU protester, Nodar Kharshiladze."That's why it is important and that goes on behind the scene when the government is very actively undermining our European future. So, this is our kind of the answer, plus it...

Anti-tourism protest in the Canary Islands on October 20.
Thousands protest against over-tourism in Canary Islands
MADRID — Around 30,000 people took to the streets of the different cities and towns of the archipelago on Sunday under the banner "The Canary Islands have a limit." In 2023 over 16 million tourists visited and it's likely that number will be higher when 2024 is over. Tourists spent more than 20 billion euros in 2023, but it comes at a price.And whilst the protesters concede that tourism provides crucial jobs, they say most of them are low-skilled and badly paid.As many properties are owned by second homeowners who don't live there all the time, buying a property to live in has become prohibitively expensive — and renting an affordable apartment has long been a struggle.Tourism grew by five percent last year and the protesters say it's too much, as the islands...

Three hours before polls closed in Chisinau, turnout stood at more than 50%
Moldova's EU referendum result hangs in balance
CHISINAU — Moldova's referendum on whether to change its constitution and commit to joining the EU hangs in the balance, with the No and Yes votes neck and neck.With Yes on 49.6% and No on 50.3% — with 97% of the vote counted — it is a result few were expecting, as several recent surveys said the Yes vote would comfortably win.The incumbent pro-EU president Maia Sandu earlier denounced the narrow result as the product of foreign interference in Moldovan politics.She said it was an "unprecedented assault on democracy", referring to widespread allegations that Russia paid people to vote a certain way, which Moscow denies.As well as the referendum on changing the constitution, Moldovans also voted in the country's presidential election on Sunday.The votes were seen as...

Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel spoke to the presser at the end of Thursday's EU summit.
EU leaders endorse migration outsourcing but offer few details
BRUSSELS — The 27 leaders of the European Union gave on Thursday their most explicit endorsement yet of the contentious project of outsourcing migration policy, even if they offered scant details on how the idea would work in practice and how authorities would be able to respect human rights while transferring migrants outside the bloc's borders."New ways to prevent and counter irregular migration should be considered, in line with EU and international law," the leaders said in the conclusions of a one-day summit.Albeit vague, the line effectively acts as the political go-ahead to experiment with established legal norms and come up with "innovative solutions," as some leaders like to call them, to decrease the number of asylum applications, which last year reached...

Police arrested a 13-year-old after shots were fired in this quiet area of Gothenburg last week
Teenage guns for hire: Swedish gangs targeting Israeli interests
GOTHENBURG — The 13-year-old boy should have been in school last Thursday, instead of sitting in a police station in central Gothenburg. But police say he fired shots outside the offices of Israeli tech firm Elbit Systems.“He was basically caught in the act,” said police spokesman August Brandt, who said the shots were being investigated as an “attempted murder and weapons offense”.Kalleback on the outskirts of Gothenburg is a fairly sleepy residential neighborhood with upmarket developments, a supermarket and a few offices.Nobody was hurt and little more is known about why a child might have opened fire on an otherwise quiet Thursday morning, outside an Israeli company that sells defense and homeland security solutions.But this was no isolated incident. In fact there have been...

Ursula Von der Leyen and Giorgia Meloni in Brussels on Wednesday
Migrant deportations to increase, says EU chief
BRUSSELS — EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said the bloc could "draw lessons" from the contested Italian policy of processing migrants offshore in Albania ahead of an EU summit focusing on migration.She made the remarks in a letter to member states ahead of the meeting in Brussels on Thursday and Friday, where she said the European Commission would present a new proposal for legislation to increase deportations of migrants.Von der Leyen - who is just starting a second five-year term as European Commission chief - appears to be responding to pressure on migration from across Europe.In her letter to member states, she said the return rate of irregular migrants from EU countries is currently only about 20% - meaning the vast majority of people who are ordered to...
