Russian President Vladimir Putin’s disastrous war against Ukraine is faltering. Now, there is a new general in charge – with a reputation for brutality. After Ukraine recently recaptured more territory than the Russian military has captured in the past six months, the Russian Defense Ministry last Saturday named Sergei Surovykin as its new commander-in-chief for war operations. Notably, he previously played a key role in Russia’s operations in Syria – in which Russian warplanes caused widespread destruction in rebel-held areas – as the Supreme Commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces....

Although Latifi entered the Formula 1 grid on the back of his second result in the Formula 2 championship, his time with Williams was anything but successful. Often running at the back of the field, the Canadian has scored just seven points in 55 starts with pundits almost constantly questioning his future. The final straw was the Italian Grand Prix when Latifi, still without a point this season, was beaten by debutant Nyck de Vries, the latter crossing the line in ninth place....

While Transport Minister Omar Alhambra said Wednesday that no final decision has been made, sources told CBC News the government is likely to end all measures soon, pending Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approval. The measures expire on September 30. “We’re constantly assessing the situation and making decisions based on information,” Algabra said on the way to a meeting of the Liberal Caucus. Cathy Pudlewski said she had such a terrible experience after being called for a random test that she could only compare it to “almost harassment....

In January this year, an undersea volcano in Tonga caused a massive eruption, the largest so far this century. The mixing of hot volcanic material and cool ocean water created an explosion that sent an atmospheric shock wave across the planet and caused a tsunami that devastated local communities and reached as far as Japan. The only portion of the crater rim that extended above water shrank in size and split into two islands....

There was speculation that Johnson’s successor also disliked the phrase, which was adopted by Churchill in one of his most important post-war speeches in 1946. But last night Downing Street sources said Mrs Truss was relaxed about using the phrase and had even used it during her leadership bid. In a speech as foreign secretary last year, Ms Truss stressed that Britain’s relationship with the US was “special but not exclusive”, stressing that “there are other allies”....

Canadians who post videos to the platforms risk becoming “collateral damage” to the federal online streaming bill, TikTok Canada has warned. The video hosting app’s director of public policy told a Senate committee Wednesday afternoon that Bill C-11 will hurt digital creators by subjecting them to “onerous regulation.” Steve de Eyre, director of public policy and government affairs at TikTok Canada, called on the Senate to “take a sober second look at this bill” and its real impact on digital-first creators....

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned Russia’s “falling and failing” president on Wednesday, joining a chorus of global outrage aimed at Vladimir Putin’s panicked escalation of the war in Ukraine. Trudeau was wrapping up two days at the United Nations when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking to the General Assembly via video, called on the international body to punish and isolate his country’s torturer. The seven-month war dominated UN discussions during the prime minister’s visit, overshadowing an agenda largely focused on Trudeau’s traditional priorities of climate change, biodiversity and international development....

Virginie Calmels jette l’éponge. Dans Le Journal du dimanche du 2 octobre, l’ancienne numéro deux des Républicains (LR) dit qu’elle se retire de sa candidature à la tête du parti, dénonçant un scrutin “partial”. Le 29 août, l’Autorité suprême LR avait rejeté la candidature de Mme Calmels, arguant qu’elle n’était pas à jour des cotisations du 22 juillet. La décision a depuis été annulée par la justice, mais une autre difficulté est alors apparue, Virginie Calmels demandant un report des dates du scrutin, prévues les 3 et 4 décembre pour le premier tour, afin d’avoir le temps de faire campagne....

Buddy cards are standby tickets that an airline gives employees as a perk to share with family and friends. The passes are free, but users have to pay the taxes. On Thursday, the Calgary-based airline asked them to stop using employee friend cards in this way, saying they have other established programs to support charities and refugees....

According to a new paper published Monday in the journal PNAS, the international team of scientists suggests that there are 20.4 billion ants roaming our planet right now. That’s 20,000,000,000,000,000 of these six-legged insects that you catch pollinating plants, scatter seeds like little gardeners and drool over a toasted bagel. “We further estimate that the world’s ants collectively account for about 12 megatons of dry carbon,” said Wong, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia’s School of Biological Sciences....

But I never got my site.” Marshall is one of the residents of southwestern Ontario who claim they have been denied services and money from Comer....

At the behest of prosecutors who had revealed new evidence, District Court Judge Melissa Phinn ordered Syed’s conviction vacated as she approved the release of the now 41-year-old, who has spent more than two decades behind bars. There were gasps and applause in the packed courtroom as the judge announced her decision. Phinn ruled that the state breached its legal obligation to share evidence that could have strengthened Syed’s defense....

Users have found that when they activate these apps and use the device’s rear camera, the camera view shakes on the screen and the phone makes cracking and rattling noises. In the patch notes, Apple said the update fixes an issue where the “[c]amera may vibrate and cause blurry photos when shooting with some third-party apps on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.” The company did not specify the reason behind this, but it is possible that the apps do not pair well with the optical image stabilization system of the device, which causes the noises....
