  • Tonight, our long-range sanctions reached the Moscow region again: for the second time in a week, the Moscow Oil Refinery was hit. Targets in the Rostov region and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine were also hit. A completely fair response to Russian strikes on our cities and communities and another important result of the work of our soldiers on the facilities that provide support for the Russian military machine. Thank you to our Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their joint work - the SBU, SBS, SSO, GUR, and our missile brigade for their accuracy.
      These days, all our partners have noted the accuracy and effectiveness of our middle strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time to end this war, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy.




  • This BBC article is doing an ok job. It’s true that Trump claims that a deal is near. They also point out the history:

    Trump has previously claimed a deal with Iran was close without one materialising.

    […]

    On 20 April, Trump said a deal with Iran would be made “relatively quickly”, and both he and senior administration figures suggested negotiations were progressing in the weeks that followed.

    But on 27 May, after reports the two sides were close to an agreement, Trump said he was “not satisfied” with its terms. Talks have continued since.

    […]

    Hours before the latest comments on an impending deal, Trump had said “the United States will be hitting Iran… very hard tonight” while threatening to seize Kharg Island and other oil infrastructure points “in the not too distant future”.







  • Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that, for the first time, it has authorized the marketing of products through the modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) pathway. The authorizations are for eight Swedish Match USA, Inc. snus smokeless tobacco products sold under the “General” brand name.

    These products had previously been authorized for U.S. sale without modified risk claims by the FDA in 2015 in response to filings of premarket tobacco applications (PMTAs). Today’s action further authorizes the manufacturer to market these specific products with the claim “Using General Snus instead of cigarettes puts you at a lower risk of mouth cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.” The FDA made this authorization after reviewing scientific evidence submitted by the company that supports this claim. In an effort to help prevent youth access and exposure, the agency has also placed stringent advertising and promotion restrictions on the products, including a requirement to restrict advertising to adults. In addition, the products’ packaging and advertising must also bear the warning statements required for all smokeless tobacco products.
