NATO urged to intercept Russian drones after Ukraine attack

NATO should consider intercepting Russian drones in Ukrainian airspace

The attack on the Ukrainian train shows how desperate Putin has become

I don't think NATO has the capacity or capability to actually deal with these kind of threats

The institute is a respected, non-partisan, non-profit body whose analysis is respected. There is a debate in Kiev and European capitals about whether NATO should relax its rules to operate in a buffer zone inside Ukrainian territory. The counterargument is that there is a risk of escalation and direct NATO-Russia confrontation, and not all NATO members would agree. NATO has to act largely through unanimity among 32 members, and the U.S. administration will be very cautious before getting into direct NATO-Russia combat over Ukraine

Data studied by the BBC shows that the number of glide bombs launched at Kramatorsk and Sloviansk has more than doubled over the summer, while civilian wounded have tripled

Russian tactics are to destroy everything they see whenever they approach a settlement

Russia occupies almost 80% of Donbas and wants Ukraine to withdraw from the rest, including Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. American negotiators seem to favour the idea of Ukraine withdrawing, but President Zelensky is refusing to abandon the territory

The level of attacks has definitely increased, with constant fear at night from glide bombs, drones, rockets and missiles

Staying in Kramatorsk means dicing with death, as familiar places and people are destroyed by glide bombs

Losing Kramatorsk and Sloviansk would make it much easier for Russia to advance westward, and a general called it probably the main battle for Ukraine this year and next

This is the biggest public share sale Africa has ever seen, offering around four billion shares at about 525 naira each to raise $1.6 billion and value the company at $47 billion. Dangote wants to encourage ordinary Nigerians to buy into the company and own part of the refinery. Dangote hopes to double processing capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day, spending around $14 billion to make it one of the world's biggest refineries.

Aging cables, pipes, wiring and boilers are being replaced due to fire and water damage risks, and the King and Queen will not return until the ten-year refurbishment completes next March

Canada wants a unique alliance with the EU but is not looking to become a member of the European Union

Carney is looking to enhance cooperation in energy, artificial intelligence, defence and critical mineral supply chains for semiconductors and batteries. The escalating trade war with the United States is causing Canada to strategically pivot to other partners, with the EU being one of them. The EU is rules-bound and full membership requires budget contributions and regulatory compliance, which is not what Carney is looking for. A Canada-EU trade deal signed nine years ago has not been ratified by about ten EU member states, creating hurdles for closer ties

The Pit has 25 Emmy nominations and has been so well received by doctors that lead actor and executive producer Noah Wyle was invited to a medical conference

Doctors feel validated by the show for everything they do and go through every day

Some doctors note that each episode compresses a number of serious trauma cases into an hour that would normally happen over 24 hours or more

He was an awkward, squawky child who wanted to be a writer like Dylan Thomas, funny and detailed. He doesn't mind being known as the man who sexed up Jane Austen, as he was just bringing out the sex and comedy inherent in her work. He is currently adapting Austen's The Watsons and working on a piece about Guy Burgess, focusing on the outrageous comedy and puzzling nature of Burgess's communist convictions. He believes it is crazy to adapt Mansfield Park today without addressing the plantation and slavery, and is writing a postscript to Emma where she dies in childbirth
