Marsalek has been out of reach of European authorities for years, and the Global Reporters Network was also unable to contact him for comment. “The Russian secret services like causing havoc and chaos and disruption,” Ed Arnold, senior associate fellow at Royal United Services Institute think tank, told the Global Reporters Network. “But even if they don’t cause it, they are more than happy to exploit it and make political disagreements or fissures worse.” He said Marsalek might have been “overplaying his hand” by emphasizing his role in the downfall of Kurz, adding: “If you want to make a name for yourself…

A rare double waterspout formed over the Italian island of Capri on Saturday, stretching across its iconic Faraglioni rock formations. The two swirling columns emerged from heavy clouds hovering over the island, creating a striking natural spectacle. Waterspouts are relatively common over the Mediterranean in late summer and autumn, when cooler air moves over warmer waters. Capri is one of Italy’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting an estimated three million visitors each year. The Faraglioni rock formations are among the island’s best-known attractions, although many tourism businesses close during the winter months, leaving the island largely to its residents.
“In recent weeks, Europeans have made their voices heard, expressing to the American mediator that no discussion concerning the future of the continent can disregard our expectations and demands,” Barrot told RTL. European Commission spokesperson Paula Pinho said Friday the EU executive didn’t yet have details to share, but added that “it’s obviously up to the European Union to decide on matters which affect its security and on matters which are of its competence.” The EU has scrambled to agree on who should represent it at the peace talks and who, if anyone, should be in contact with Russian President…
The US military said on Saturday that its forces had “disabled” a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman after its civilian crew “ignored repeated warnings” and made a number of attempts to “violate” the naval blockade of Iran. “A U.S. military aircraft fired precision munitions at the stern of St. Kitts-flagged M/V Huda, disabling the ship after CENTCOM forces directed the crew to abandon targeted spaces. The cargo vessel tried to depart regional waters after visiting an Iranian port,” US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement, adding that it was continuing to “strictly enforce” the blockade against Iran.…

Britain’s energy industry says the agreement could help bring down electricity prices in the U.K. — a cost-of-living priority for Prime Minister Andy Burnham. Energy UK, the industry’s representative body, says that being outside the electricity market will create “additional costs of up to £10bn this Parliament through higher energy bills and lower Treasury revenues.” The same EU diplomat quoted above, from a country supportive of a swift agreement, said the financial contribution required to rejoin the market would amount to “investing” in market access. “A larger electricity market will ultimately lead to lower electricity prices in the U.K. And…
