The Russian Ministry of Defense announced this Tuesday the downing of two Ukrainian drones, one over the Oryol region and the other over Belgorod, both close to the border with Ukraine.. “On September 19 of this year, at 10:30 p.m. Moscow time, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an unmanned aerial vehicle over the Oryol region was stopped,” he said. the ministry on its official Telegram channel. Just over an hour later, Russian authorities reported the neutralization of another drone over the Belgorod region.

In recent weeks, alarms have been raised about the health of the deposed Burmese leader and 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, 78 years old and serving a 27-year prison sentence imposed in an opaque judicial process. after the military coup d'état of 2021.

It was her son, Kim Aris, who warned this Wednesday about the deterioration of his mother's health, who suffers episodes of dizziness and vomiting and cannot eat normally due to gum disease.

“As far as I know, my mother cannot eat because of gum disease and perhaps also because of problems with her wisdom teeth.. In addition, he has suffered episodes of vomiting and dizziness and could not walk at one point,” Aris told Burmese media outlet Khit Thit in English.

Likewise, Aris himself denounced two weeks ago in statements to the British BBC that his mother needed medical treatment for her gum problems and that the military junta in power denied it to her.. With this, he stated that he imagines that the conditions in which his mother is imprisoned “are far from ideal” and recalled that the conditions in Burmese prisons are “horrible.” “What is happening in Burma is horrifying, too many prisoners die in prison,” he said.

In this sense, he denounced the isolation regime to which his mother is subjected, unlike during previous house arrests, in which she could receive visitors and had access to her personal doctor. “Now no one can contact her. They don't allow him to mix with other prisoners,” he lamented.

In July, sources close to the former president indicated that the junta planned to transfer her from prison to house arrest, but it is unknown where she is now.

Sentenced to 33 years in prison

Suu Kyi, who came to power in 2016, was detained on the same day that the military, led by General Min Aung Hlaing, seized power in a coup on February 1, 2021, and has only been seen since. once during a court hearing, while the junta has prohibited his lawyers from speaking to the press.

In the following two years she faced a string of accusations for which she was sentenced to a total of 33 years in prison in a judicial process amidst secrecy, although last month her sentence was reduced to 27 years.

The coup d'état, which put an end to a decade of democratic transition, has plunged Burma (Myanmar) into a deep political, social and economic crisis and has opened a spiral of violence that has exacerbated the guerrilla war that the country has been experiencing since decades ago, with new armed groups formed after the uprising.

According to the latest count by the Association for the Assistance of Political Prisoners (AAPP), a local NGO, 19,238 political prisoners remain detained and 4,092 people have died in the hands of the armed forces since the riot.

A 14-year-old high school student was arrested this Monday in France during a class for a case of harassment against another 15-year-old teenager, local media reported this Tuesday.

The victim, who is in the process of gender transition, does not know her accuser, since they do not even go to the same school. However, the homophobic words and incitement to suicide in an Instagram group of which they are members led the authorities to act after receiving a complaint from the student's father.

The arrest occurred in Alfortville (on the southern outskirts of Paris), with prior authorization from the director of the educational center, according to police sources. The speed of the authorities came after a new suicide of a 15-year-old high school student last September, which caused a great commotion throughout the country.

The family of that young man denounced that their repeated complaints to the regional authorities about the harassment suffered by their son did not receive sufficient case.. At one point she even received warnings that she could be sued for slander.

Given the repetition of complaints of lack of action by the regional educational authorities, the Minister of Education, Gabriel Attal, called last Monday for “an electroshock at all levels” in the fight against bullying.

Although the image gives the scene a certain normality, there is nothing normal around Ukraine right now, and not even Volodymyr Zelensky's first appearance before the UN General Assembly in person since the war began this Tuesday.. The Ukrainian president is half bunkered, and wants to maintain the morale of his allies so that support against Russia does not decline. “Unity can avoid wars,” he began by saying after being applauded by the plenary, before speaking directly about war in its broadest sense.

Zelensky began by remembering World War II, and assured that compared to this “other wars are less scary” and recalled that the 20th century warned the world of the “dangers” of nuclear arsenals.. “The final war will be the one after which we cannot meet in this assembly,” he said, before recalling that Ukraine “got rid of its nuclear arsenal,” something that Russia has not done.. “Nuclear weapons are the scariest,” he said, focusing on Vladimir Putin; “they threaten to use them against all their countries.”

“Since the beginning of the war, Ukrainian ports have been blocked by Russia, and its attempt to use food shortages as a weapon is clear,” continued the Ukrainian leader, dressed in his now typical green uniform.. “The impact of this is being felt throughout the world,” he assumed, while thanking the support for the Black Sea cereal initiative, an issue that has led to a clash between Kiev and countries such as Poland, Hungary and Slovakia.. “It was necessary for our cereal to be available in the markets,” Zelensky remarked, giving great importance to “food security.”

In a slow tone, Zelensky lamented that “some of our friends in Europe show solidarity on the political scene but at the same time it seems that they are playing by their own rules,” when, he said, what they are really doing is “paving the way for it.” to Moscow. Now, the threat is “even greater” because the Kremlin continues to insist on the “nuclear threat”. For Zelensky, Putin wants to attack the world from different fronts: “The global security architecture does not protect us from radiation risks, nor is there accountability.”

The Ukrainian president also recounted from New York the kidnappings of children as another of the traces of the invasion and wants these minors to “return to their homes” but “time passes” and Zelensky wonders “what is going to happen to them” while They are “indoctrinated in Russia to hate Ukraine”. In this sense, he accused Putin of “spreading hatred” and starting “from time to time a new war”, with the “phagocytation” of Belarus, for example.. The current objective, he said, is to “tear away our land” to use it “against you.”

“The aggressor leaves dust, ashes and ruins”. Zelensky looked at the Assembly listing the effects of the conflict. “We must stop it, we must act together to put an end to the aggressor,” asked the Ukrainian leader and then address all the global challenges that arise.. This is not, for Zelensky, a rivalry between the great powers, but rather the action has to be “for everyone.”. At the same time, the Ukrainian leader once again put his peace plans on the table to “guarantee the full powers of the rules-based order”; Zelensky will present this formula precisely this Wednesday. “It is a global solution, which aims to end all types of weapons that Russia uses.”

These approaches, he argued, should be useful for any territory that may be attacked in the future and he also embarked on preparing a summit specifically for peace.. “I know there are some who want to get some shady deals; let them ask Prighozin what happened to him. “We want everything to be decided openly,” he commented with a much harsher tone.. “We have to be united,” he repeated, before ending his message – shorter than expected – with a resounding “up Ukraine.”

The conflict continues to leave its mark

This speech, furthermore, was given while the war continues its course, slowly but unstoppable.. On Monday night, Ukrainian anti-aircraft defenses shot down 27 of the 30 Shahed kamikaze drones that Russia launched against Ukrainian territory, according to the Ukrainian Air Force on its social networks.

The drones were launched from the territory of the Russian Federation located in the southeast of Ukraine, and intercepted in different oblasts in the south, center and west of the country, added the Air Force, which also reported the firing of an Iskander-M ballistic missile from the occupied Crimean peninsula in the direction of Krivi Rig, southeastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, days ago the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, recalled the obvious: the West – and the world – has to prepare for a long war.

At last it appeared. The United States Armed Forces found this Monday the remains of the Navy F-35 that suffered an accident on Sunday near the military base in Charleston, in the state of South Carolina.. The fighter pilot was unharmed.

The plane was not far. According to authorities, the remains of the F-35B Lightning II were in Williamsburg County, about “two hours northeast” of the base that serves air and naval forces.. They have not said more, because the reasons for the “incident” are still “under investigation,” says the statement issued by the US military.

Disappeared 24 hours after an “mishap”

The events took place on Sunday afternoon. The plane – belonging to one of the training squadrons of the 2nd Marine Air Wing – was missing after suffering an “accident” while carrying out a flight in the state of South Carolina.

The pilot, who has not been identified, managed to eject and descended by parachute. According to a statement from Joint Base Charleston, the soldier is hospitalized and in stable condition.. “The accident is currently under investigation,” said Capt. Joe Leitner, spokesman for the 2nd Marine Air Wing.

“The accident is currently under investigation.”

But the fighter did not crash immediately. The device continued to fly autonomously, which is informally known as the “zombie state.”. It is not known how many minutes it did so, but it eventually fell to the ground, we now know “two hours northeast” of the base.

One of the most advanced and expensive fighters in the world

Known for its sharp, aerodynamic body, the F-35 is among the most advanced fighters in the world. Its manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, said in a statement: “We are aware of the mishap involving a Marine Corps F-35B from Beaufort and are grateful that the pilot ejected safely.. “We are supporting the government's investigation.”

The plane's transponder was not working “for some reason we have not yet determined”

The truth is that the military authorities have not known his whereabouts for nearly 24 hours.. The reason is that the plane's transponder, which normally helps locate it, was not working “for some reason we have not yet determined,” said Jeremy Huggins, a spokesman for Joint Base Charleston.

For this reason, those responsible for the base published a message on social networks asking for the help of citizens to locate it.. “Emergency response teams are still trying to locate the F-35.. “The public is asked to cooperate with military and civilian authorities as the effort continues,” they said.

How much did the accident cost?

“The plane is stealthy, so it has different coatings and designs that make it harder to detect than a normal plane,” Huggins explained.. The spokesperson declined to specify the nature of the exercise the pilot was participating in at the time of the incident.

The extent of damage to the fighter is unclear, but the F-35 is one of the most expensive aircraft in the world.. The Washington Post tells that when an F-35 crashed for the first time in 2018, the accident was initially classified as “Class A”. That grade refers to a cost of $2 million or more in damage, complete destruction of the aircraft, or permanent total incapacity of the crew.

The US Armed Forces. This Monday they found the remains of an F-35 fighter that suffered an accident near a military base in Charleston, in the state of South Carolina.

Military officials, along with local authorities, located the remains about “two hours northeast” of the base, which serves air and naval forces, according to authorities in a statement.

The reasons for the “incident” with the F-35 fighter are still “under investigation,” the statement said, and the authorities did not provide more details to “preserve the integrity” of the investigations.

Military authorities reported the F-35 fighter jet missing Sunday afternoon after the pilot had to eject from the aircraft and was transferred to a local medical center.

The person piloting the fighter ejected “safely” from the aircraft on Sunday afternoon, when authorities reported the incident and reported the aircraft missing.

The pilot was taken to a local hospital that same day and is in “stable” condition, authorities reported at the time.

The plane, an F-35B Lightning II jet, was stationed at an air base in Beaufort, also in South Carolina, and was part of a squadron tasked with training pilots.

In the war to occupy first place – that of whoever has the largest (the ship) – China and the United States work tirelessly to become great naval powers. With this objective, the ferocious sea monster of the East was born, CNS Fuijian, China's third aircraft carrier, which consolidates the country as the second naval power in the world, behind the Americans, which currently have 11 aircraft carriers in service.

Baptized with the name 'enemy'

Historical tensions between China and Taiwan have named this new creation – the Fujian aircraft carrier – after the province closest to Taiwan.

In fact, Taiwanese authorities have accused Beijing of using “realistic training and maneuvers on its coasts, to reinforce its preparation against Taiwan, which demonstrate its efforts to intimidate them.”

The aircraft carrier, which began construction in 2018, still needs to pass different tests to comprehensively test its overall capabilities.. With 80,000 tons of ship, an electromagnetic aircraft launcher and more than 300 meters in length, the Fujian will be able to detect cruise missiles beyond the range of radars, as well as distinguish and direct its own fighters, both in defensive and offensive roles.. In addition, it is estimated that it will be able to transport between 48 and 60 airplanes, helicopters and drones.

“Compared to its predecessors, the Fujian is much larger and heavier and has a larger flight deck and smaller superstructure.. Those differences mean it will be able to carry more aircraft and fuel and will be able to deploy and recover more fighter jets on operations.. Its greater load capacity also means that the ship can sail further, operate longer and have greater combat power,” highlighted an article on the Ministry of Defense website in June.

Poland remains shocked by the drama discovered in the town of Czerniki, where a father and his daughter have been sent to prison accused of alleged murder and incest after authorities found the bodies of three newborn babies in the basement of the home they shared. born in a state of decomposition.

Upon her return from vacation, the workers were surprised to see the tremendous physical change of the young woman now detained, who returned to her job much thinner and also constantly tired, so they insisted that she sit down and rest.
