According to Sky News, two Russian military cargo planes landed at Tehran airport early on August 20 carrying cash, a US Javelin anti-tank missile, a Stinger anti-aircraft missile and a British NLAW anti-tank missile. Missiles destined for Ukraine “fell into Russian hands” and could be used by the Iranians for reverse engineering, the source said. “It seems that Iran also wants to profit from the war by getting from the Russians western capabilities that will be useful to them in the future,” they said....

The Arctic Fox II reported finding water off the west coast of Vancouver Island in August 2020. With its main engine shut down, the crew prepared to abandon ship.

The report said the captain and a crew member went into the ocean after that. The crew member inflated the raft and got in, but the other two men did not make it and their bodies were later recovered in their immersion suits only partially....

Graeme Sloan | Sipa via AP Images Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried said on Wednesday that the cryptocurrency exchange became “overconfident” and “careless” as it grew into a $32 billion juggernaut. “I was on the cover of every magazine and FTX was the darling of Silicon Valley,” he tweeted on Wednesday. His comments come just days after FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy at the end of a disastrous week....

Nummernschilder können so teuer sein wie ein Luxusauto. Mit solchen Versteigerungen verdienen die Kantone gutes Geld. Für manche ist es eine einfache Zahlenfolge auf einem Stück Blech. Für andere ist es ein Statussymbol – das i-Tüpfelchen auf einem schönen oder teuren Auto. Besonders beliebt sind Nummernschilder mit niedrigen Nummern oder Schnapsnummern. Das Schild «ZH 888» wurde am Mittwochnachmittag auf der Website des Strassenverkehrsamtes Zürich für 194’000 Franken verkauft. In den letzten Jahren werden in verschiedenen Kantonen teilweise hohe Beträge für begehrte Schilder bezahlt....

For using the word “invasion,” Ms. Braverman was excommunicated. Her critics were given plenty of space, particularly by the BBC, to attack her “inflammatory language”. Obviously, word choice on sensitive issues matters, but if official power suppresses the truth, that in itself is inflammatory. Was the word “invasion” wrong? Talking about invasion does not necessarily mean insulting the invader. We know that Julius Caesar invaded Britain 2,000 years ago (landing on much the same beaches as the smugglers now choose)....
