    “A person has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of the Ukrainian top politician Andriy Parubiy in Lviv, according to Volodymyr Zelensky. In a statement on X, the president writes that he has been informed by the Minister of the Interior and the head of the security service.

    ‘I have instructed that the available information should be presented to the public,’ the statement says.

    Zelensky thanks the country’s law enforcement authorities and says that the investigation into the fatal shooting is still ongoing.”

    But he had been denied it because he no longer had a role that justified personal protection. The decision has been criticized by the mayor of Dnipro and Parubiy’s friend Boris Filatov. He accuses the authorities of not protecting Parubiy because he is an opposition figure. …”

    “Russian President Vladimir Putin says that the ‘agreements’ reached with US President Donald Trump in Alaska open the way for peace in Ukraine, reports Reuters.

    The statement comes in connection with Putin’s visit to China where the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has organized a summit. Yesterday, he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Indian President Narendra Modi, and other Asian leaders.

    ‘We appreciate the efforts and proposals from China and India aimed at facilitating the resolution of the ‘Ukrainian crisis.’ I also want to mention that the agreements reached at the latest meeting between Russia and the USA in Alaska contribute to this goal,’ says Putin.”

    “75 percent of Ukrainians believe that the country should only agree to a ceasefire if the US and Europe provide security guarantees. This is shown in a recent opinion poll according to Ukrainska Pravda.

    19 percent believe that Ukraine should not agree to a ceasefire under any circumstances, and three percent believe it is time for an unconditional ceasefire. Three percent had no answer.

    The most important security guarantee the respondents want from allied countries is weapons and money for the Ukrainian army. Next on the list is that allies commit to military intervention if Russia attacks again, followed by international patrols in the air and at sea.”

    The US Economy

    Survey: Fed expected to fall in line with Trump – “will become a puppet”

    “Financial markets have not fully priced in the risks that Donald Trump’s attacks on the Federal Reserve could entail. Economists warn about this in a survey by the Financial Times, flagging concerns such as higher inflation and a decreased belief in the US’s ability to manage its national debt.

    94 economists based in Europe and the US participated in the survey. Throughout the responses, there is a concern raised that the president’s pressures could lead to a permanent shift in the central bank, where the labor market and lower costs for the government apparatus are prioritized as Jerome Powell’s term expires next year.

    – The Fed will become a puppet to the government, says Christiane Baumeister, economist at the University of Notre Dame.

    52 percent of respondents believe that the Fed will change direction next year.”

        The one who is not completely negative towards Trump can see a pattern where the US government is trying to increase state revenues and reduce state expenditures. That is commendable. But msm media agencies like Omni are constantly negative towards Trump.

    I wonder if they have considered that many people use VPN services, which means that their IP address can appear to be from any country despite being in Sweden?

    “As part of the efforts to combat benefit fraud, the Swedish Public Employment Service has started tracking the IP addresses of the unemployed, writes DN. The purpose is to detect individuals who have registered as unemployed but appear to be located abroad.

    – We are talking about individuals who are abroad when they should be in Sweden looking for work or participating in labor market policy programs, says Andreas Malmgren, business controller at the Swedish Public Employment Service, to the newspaper.

    So far, the agency has managed to identify 4,000 individuals using this method, but none of them have been contacted yet.”

      1. MXT

        The IP ranges that VPN services use in data centers, etc. are often publicly registered, and there are also IP lists where VPN services are listed.

        At the same time, many people use VPNs to pretend they are, for example, at home in the USA to access their content in streaming services like Netflix, etc. One way to prevent this for those services is to try to find out if the user is using VPN services. 

        Many VPN services therefore try to hide that they are behind the IP numbers they use. There are various methods, such as rotating and changing addresses frequently so that lists, etc. are not up to date. Other ways include masking themselves by buying into other networks with different owners. 

        It’s a bit of an ongoing battle.

        I think it makes sense for the employment agency to increase controls to counteract fraud, but I hope they are aware that it may not be as simple as they might think.

        It also applies in the other direction. It’s easy for someone in another country to use a VPN service and choose to use servers located in Sweden.

        1. 205

          “It also applies the other way around. Easy for someone in another country to use a VPN service and choose to use servers located in Sweden.”

          Exactly. 😐

          Plus, you actually get to travel abroad even if you are unemployed.
          After all, you can actually apply for jobs abroad.

          But this example is probably more for those who have made a system out of it.

          2. MXT

            Well, let’s hope they have checked the IP numbers over a longer period of time.
            If they can see that it’s the same IP address every time for a year and then check where it belongs, for example, if they find a Spanish ISP, then they can be pretty sure.

    Russia says the quiet part out loud — war in Ukraine to continue, more mass bombings of cities. “Today we will clarify the tasks of the troop groups in the directions for the autumn period,” Valery Gerasimov said.

    Gerasimov also said that “targeted massive fire strikes continue,” referring to the regular mass missile and drone attacks that Russia launches against Ukrainian cities.

    Many probably thought that the new Model Y would boost sales but it doesn’t seem to have helped. Quite the opposite.

    “Tesla continues to struggle in Sweden, according to fresh statistics from Mobility Sweden.

    In August, the company’s sales plummeted by 84 percent compared to the previous year. In total, 210 cars were sold, compared to 1,348 last year. The sales of the new Model Y also disappointed, dropping by a staggering 87 percent during the period.

    At the same time, the total car sales saw a slight increase in August compared to last year. A total of 20,168 cars were newly registered, which is 6 percent more than last year.”

    Seems like I was right in my suspicions that Israel is not interested in any peace.

    “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said no to even voting on the latest ceasefire proposal in Gaza, when the security cabinet met overnight into Monday. Sources tell Haaretz.

    “Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir wanted, according to the sources, to bring up the proposal for discussion and a vote. Even the far-right Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wanted to vote on it, but so that it could then be formally rejected.

    However, Netanyahu is said to have flatly refused to even discuss the proposal, arguing that it is not relevant. Instead, the meeting focused almost exclusively on the operation to take control of Gaza City.

    The proposal has been put forward by the mediators and constitutes a framework for a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages.”

    🤬 Crimea is on the brink of an environmental disaster due to heat and drought. Lakes on the peninsula are drying up en masse. Some have already completely disappeared. All microorganisms in the salt lakes have died, which changes the ecosystem. Drinking water supplies are also being depleted.

    Several Crimean salt lakes have turned into branches of the Dead Sea this year – mineralization has reached record levels. Almost all living creatures that inhabited the water have disappeared. The most famous lake in Crimea, Sasyk-Sivash, has significantly shallowed (pictured).

    In a protocol sent out to employees, it is stated that the children are considered to have too much butter on their sandwiches. Educators are instructed to portion out Bregott for the children. A maximum of one topping per sandwich is allowed.

    – The children get half a slice of cheese or half a thin slice of turkey on the sandwich and eat a maximum of two slices of bread, one soft and one hard per day, yet it seems to be too much, says an educator to the newspaper.
