By Сергiй Дубина Published on 12 November 2026 – 11:48 GMT+1 On Thursday, a Russian serviceman was killed in a car explosion in St Petersburg, Russia.

Román’s solo launch saw him accelerate from zero to 180 km/h in just 2.15 seconds, experiencing forces of up to 4.2 G. He continued rising 100.36 metres after leaving the launcher, setting a Guinness World Record for the greatest height achieved by a human…

The latest paper was presented at a conference hosted by the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), a gathering of 52 cross-party lawmakers from 30 countries that campaigns for a more coordinated response to the Chinese Communist Party. Policymakers raised numerous concerns at the event in The Hague earlier this month — about what they considered security threats of critical infrastructure, trade dependencies and potential risks from a future conflict between China and Taiwan that would disrupt shipping. The Chinese foreign ministry and state media have previously called IPAC an “anti-China” group and accused it of spreading disinformation and interfering in…
