Drone video of the ocean, flown by scientists from Saildrone and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, captured about 360 miles southeast of Bermuda, depicts haunting blue waters and monstrous waves, serenaded by howling winds.

Those released include prisoners of war from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom and Morocco, some of whom had been sentenced to death after being captured in Ukraine and accused of being mercenaries. Russia also freed about 215 Ukrainians, including the five commanders who led a protracted Ukrainian defense of the southern port city of Mariupol earlier this year. In return, Ukraine sent back 55 pro-Moscow Russians and Ukrainians and Viktor Medvedchuk, the leader of a banned pro-Russian party facing treason charges....
Vladimir Putin can call up all the troops he wants, but Russia has no way of getting these new troops the training and weapons they need to fight in Ukraine any time soon. With his invasion of Ukraine faltering badly, the Russian President announced on Wednesday the immediate “partial mobilization” of Russian citizens. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Russian television that the country would call up 300,000 reservists. If they end up facing Ukrainian weapons on the front line, they are likely to become the latest casualties in an invasion launched by Putin more than seven months ago that has seen the Russian military fail in almost every aspect of modern warfare....

The treaty – known as the Kigali Amendment to the 1987 Montreal Protocol – obliges countries to phase out the use of the powerful hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, which are hundreds to thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide in accelerating climate change. The United States became the 137th country to ratify the amendment — and negotiators said the move would encourage other nations to follow suit. The previous Montreal Protocol limited the production of ozone-depleting substances....

Clash en direct ce matin sur LCI. Sandrine Rousseau est partie avant la fin de l’entretien politique. Les journalistes Elisabeth Martichoux et Paul Larrouturou étaient sur le point de terminer leurs questions quand Elisabeth Martichoux a fait une remarque qui n’a pas plu à l’homme politique. L’entretien avait en partie porté sur le cas de Julien Bayou, soupçonné de violences sexuelles sur une militante, et le cas d’Adrien Quatennens qui a reconnu avoir giflé sa femme lors d’une dispute en pleine procédure de divorce....
“Optional Candy” in Niederösterreich Die Vorstandsvorsitzenden der beiden Klubs entgegneten der Oppositionskritik, das Land unternehme zu wenig gegen die Inflation und verwiesen erneut auf Maßnahmen wie die Erhöhung des Heizkostenzuschusses, die Verlängerung der Wohnbeihilfe, die Bezuschussung der Studiengebühren für Familien und das Viele Maßnahmen aus dem OÖ-Plan – einem Post-Corona-Investitionsprogramm – wirken weiter. Dass Niederösterreich einen Rabatt auf den Strompreis gewährt, sieht Mahr als reines „Wunschvergnügen“. Dörfel widerspricht nicht explizit und sagt „Niederösterreich hat ein anderes System“....
C’est une sorte d’épée de Damoclès au-dessus des foyers français. Sous réserve d’un hiver particulièrement tenace et d’un réseau électrique tendu, les Français pourraient sans doute avoir à faire face à des coupures d’électricité. Chez nos voisins suisses, cette solution – de dernier recours – est bel et bien envisagée cet hiver. En France, le gouvernement se refuse à de telles solutions, et souhait se montrer rassurant : “Si chacun prend ses responsabilités, il n’y aura pas de coupures” cet hiver, promettait ainsi la Première ministre Élisabeth Borne, il y a quelques semaines....

Over the summer, CBC Radio’s The House spoke with several MPs in their homes. A common theme that emerged from many of the conversations was the intense level of partisanship and division that sometimes grips Ottawa. This high intensity of partisanship can sometimes erupt into high-pitched debate during Question Period. “We need to do a better job as politicians at calling out this bad behavior; we wouldn’t let a five-year-old say whatever he wants while someone else is talking, so why would we let an adult fight another adult?...
