Zudem soll die Küstenstadt auch zur Überwindung der Energiekrise beitragen. Finanzminister Hambek blickt bereits optimistisch in diesen Winter. Deutschland hat laut Finanzminister Robert Habeck trotz des fehlenden russischen Gases eine Chance, “gut durch den Winter zu kommen”. Eine Chance – wiederholte der Grünen-Politiker gegenüber Reportern in Lubmin. Denn dafür muss in Deutschland viel gespart werden und es braucht „ein bisschen Glück mit dem Wetter“....

Heute beginnt das Oktoberfest in München – zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Pandemie. Die Ärzte sind entspannt. „Die Corona-Situation ist derzeit gut beherrschbar“, sagte der ehemalige Chefarzt Weigeldt.

More than 5,000 schools nationwide banned student access to books in libraries and classrooms, according to the report compiled by Pen America, a nonprofit organization that advocates for freedom of expression in literature. There has been a “proliferation of organized efforts to support book removal,” the report says, from right-wing politicians in states like Texas, Georgia and Wisconsin to at least 50 groups that have emerged either in person or on Facebook....

The missile hit 300 meters from the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear power plant, also known as the Southern Ukraine Nuclear Plant, according to Ukrainian nuclear power company Energoatom.

With thunderstorms forecast and more mudslides possible into Wednesday, evacuation orders remained in place in parts of the San Bernardino Mountains while a wildfire raging 805 kilometres to the north forced residents to abandon their homes. East of Los Angeles, crews searched street by street for people who might be trapped by mudflows that washed rocks, trees and other debris with astonishing force the day before into Forest Falls, Oak Glen and Yucaipa and left a muddy mess and untold destruction....

Luckily, it’s not that hard to get surround sound these days – although it’ll still cost you a ton. The $550 Arena 9 connects via USB so you don’t have to worry about a specialized sound card, and they have wireless rear satellites that only need to be plugged into power and each other. You don’t need to connect anything to the front speakers. This solves a huge pain point and makes the Arena 9 a much more viable option for the cable averse....

DUBAI, Sept 16 (Reuters) – A young Iranian woman died after falling into a coma after being arrested by morality police enforcing Iran’s strict hijab rules, sparking protests by Iranians on social media and in the streets on Friday. In recent months, Iranian rights activists have urged women to remove their veils in public, a gesture that would risk arrest for defying the Islamic dress code as the country’s hardline leaders crack down on “immoral behavior”....

However, the Palace of Westminster has rarely been so tranquil. As mourners have filed into Westminster Hall to pay their respects to the Queen, a building that would normally be a hotbed of political contests, conspiracies and intrigue has instead become a place of pilgrimage, respect and quiet reflection. While there has been a natural and well-observed suspension of political hostilities, however, MPs across the political divide are under no illusions about the turmoil that will erupt once the Queen’s state funeral is over and the period of mourning ends....

Whitehall sources say there is “a question mark” over how the Prime Minister can overcome a series of legal and parliamentary procedural hurdles to ditching the soft drinks levy. It is unclear what mechanism Truss could use to scrap the sugar tax, which was introduced in 2018 as a result of its inclusion in the Finance Act 2017. She is a staunch critic of government intervention to promote healthier lifestyles and has previously said that “taxes on treats hit those on the lowest incomes” and that the government should not be telling people what to eat....

The 2,000 or so in attendance, led by King Charles and other members of the royal family, observed a two-minute silence mirrored across the UK, before singing the national anthem. State trumpeters from the Household Cavalry played the Last Post after the Archbishop of Canterbury’s eulogy over the Queen’s coffin and the benediction pronounced by the Dean. Lamentations then echoed around the abbey before the coffin was carried outside for the short journey to Wellington Arch, followed by the Royal Family....

Russia is facing calls for an international war crimes tribunal after the discovery of mass graves in Ukraine. It comes as the Ministry of Defense questioned whether Russian front-line forces have “sufficient reserves or sufficient morale” to withstand another coordinated attack in the east of the country. Any significant loss of ground here would “undoubtedly undermine” Vladimir Putin’s strategy for the conflict, experts say. Mr Putin warned on Friday that Ukraine risked provoking “more serious” action from Moscow with its sweeping counter-attack, arguing that “so far we have responded with restraint”....

The strategically important city, which borders the illegally annexed Crimean peninsula, is seen as the ultimate target for southern Ukraine’s counterattack. Russia’s puppet authorities in Kherson earlier this month scrapped plans to hold a mock referendum on annexing the city as Ukraine’s counteroffensive loomed. Around the same time as the Kherson strike, a bomb killed Sergei Gorenko, the LPR’s general prosecutor, in his office along with his deputy. Mykhailo Podolyak, one of Volodymyr Zelensky’s closest aides, said Ukraine was not behind the explosion, instead blaming an internal mafia dispute....

The Food and Drug Administration updated its guidelines this week for Tpoxx, which has been prescribed to tens of thousands of patients infected with the virus. In an online briefing, FDA officials warned that a single molecular change in monkeypox “could have a large effect on the antiviral activity of Tpoxx....
