LONDON –

Russia’s overheating economy is on the cusp of serious cooling, as huge fiscal stimulus, soaring interest rates, stubbornly high inflation and Western sanctions take their toll, but after three years of war, Washington may just have thrown Moscow a lifeline.

U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing for a quick deal to end the war in Ukraine, alarming Washington’s European allies by leaving them and Ukraine out of initial talks with Russia and blaming Ukraine for Russia’s 2022 invasion, political gifts for Moscow that could also bring strong economic benefits.

Washington’s push comes as Moscow faces two undesirable options, according to Oleg Vyugin, former deputy chairman of Russia’s central bank.

Partners in crime paused robbery spree to get hitched: feds
February 24, 2025
An accused modern-day Bonnie and Clyde allegedly carried out a string of armed robberies across California — only pausing to get hitched in Las Vegas, according to authorities. North Hollywood lovebirds Antonio Lamar Bland, 36, and Abigail Luckey, 49, were charged in a federal grand jury indictment for an “armed robbery spree” of 12 stores last year — ironically getting arrested on Valentine’s Day, a week after getting hitched, prosecutors said. U.S. Department of Justice A couple have been indicted on charges for allegedly robbing 12 stores in across Southern California and pausing to get hitched along the way. U.S. Department of Justice In the robberies, Bland and another man charged alongside them — 23-year-old Ronnie Tucker — would storm the businesses while Luckey waited outside as their getaway driver, the indictment alleges. The two men wore masks and hooded sweatshirts while holding up clerks at gunpoint and demanding they empty their cash registers — while also stealing bsynaders’ wallets and cellphones, the indictment said. Ronnie Tucker assisted Bland in allegedly entering stores and demanding employees to… Read the full article here […]

Who could replace Zelensky if he resigns in war deal? From boxer Klitschko to ‘Iron General’ & millionaire Putin stooge
February 24, 2025
VOLODYMYR Zelensky’s potential successors could be preparing their campaigns to be the leader of Ukraine. After Donald Trump slammed him as a “dictator”, the brave president said on Sunday he would step down if Ukraine could join Nato – thereby securing its defence. That’s left ambitious Ukrainians rubbing their hands at the thought of being taking the top job – but who could fill the very large shoes left by Zelensky? Vitali Klitschko – Heavyweight champion Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko visits the site of a Russian missile strikeCredit: Reuters Former heavyweight boxing world champion Vitali Klitschko is the current mayor of Kyiv.

Japanese banks to rethink security measures for safe-deposit boxes
February 24, 2025
Japan’s biggest banks and regional lenders are tightening controls on the management of safe-deposit boxes after a string of thefts involving bank employees rocked public confidence. The incidents have intensified scrutiny of a segment already grappling with weak demand and thin margins. The latest blow came last Tuesday when Mizuho Bank publicly disclosed that a former employee had stolen assets worth tens of millions of yen from two customers’ safe-deposit boxes in 2019. While the theft had been reported to the Financial Services Agency (FSA) at the time, Mizuho Bank had kept the incident under wraps. The bank has since tightened internal controls, revising procedures for how secondary keys are managed, according to spokesperson Naohiro Takahashi. Read the full article here […]

Pharmacies Facing ‘Financial Cliff Edge’ Due to Looming Tax Hikes, Industry Leaders Say
February 24, 2025
The National Pharmacy Association said that unless the government provides certainty on funding, it will recommend members take collective action. The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) has said pharmacies face a “financial cliff edge” due to rising taxes announced in the Autumn Budget. The NPA said on Monday that the increase to employer National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and the minimum wage means that pharmacies face £250 million in unplanned costs. Nick Kaye, chairman of the NPA, said: “Pharmacies face a financial cliff edge at the beginning of April, with a triple whammy of rising National Insurance, National Living Wage and business rates all arriving at once. “At the moment, they still have no certainty if any of these costs will be met by the Government, despite assurances for other parts of the health system including our GP colleagues.” Kaye added that community pharmacies have been closing “in record numbers,” and that those which are left “are currently hanging on by their fingernails.” The body, which represents 6,000 independent community pharmacies across the UK, said that without urgent clarity from the government on financial support, their… […]

February 24, 2025
Pope Francis continues to be hospitalized in critical condition for a complex respiratory infection, including double pneumonia and bronchitis and is currently resting after receiving high-flow oxygen treatment. “The night went well; the Pope slept and is resting,” the Holy See Press Office said in a statement published Monday. Francis, the 88-year-old pope who was elected in 2013, had been in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital for the past 10 days for treatment of bronchitis, which he had been dealing with for a week prior to his hospitalization. However, his condition worsened after severe breathing difficulties were reported Saturday morning, NPR reported. On Sunday, the pope’s medical team noted he had also shown signs of “mild” kidney failure, but the Vatican asserted that was under control. Francis was also diagnosed with thrombocytopenia, a condition characterized by a low count of the platelets in blood that help to form clots. According to the Holy See Press Office, the pope was given blood transfusions to help “bring up his hemoglobin levels.” The pope carried on with some of his duties despite his ongoing illness. According to the Vatican, the pope still attended… Read the full article here […]
