Vitaly Shishov's body was found hanged in a park in Kyiv, a day after he failed to return from a jog. Police have opened a murder inquiry.

Police said they were investigating whether he had been killed and his death made to look like suicide.

Oh I'm sure that's totally not the case at all.

And this has nothing to do with the Belarus athlete who asked for asylum - especially when her husband and kid fled to the Ukraine.

Hussein-Ali Montazeri named Raisi as one of the four persons involved in the 1988 executions [...] an alternative estimation suggests that the number exceeded 30,000.[57] Because of the large number, prisoners were loaded into forklift trucks in groups of six and hanged from cranes in half-hour intervals.

The spokesman added: "Solutions could not be found through the existing mechanisms of the protocol. That was why we had set out proposals for significant changes to it.

"There is a huge opportunity to find reasonable, practical solutions to the difficulties facing people and businesses in Northern Ireland, and thereby to put the relationship between the UK and the EU on a better footing.

"We didn't expect the EU to take such a purist or maximalist approach… we've not called for the scrapping of the protocol at this time."

This is like when a guy breaks up with his girlfriend, and she agrees and goes about her life, then he comes crawling back when he hasn’t found anybody else to have sex with and wants to “talk about terms.“

A swaggering warlord with an affinity for booze and hookers — who once allegedly ordered a soldier accused of stealing to be flattened by a tank — has reportedly vowed to lead the fight against the marauding Taliban in Afghanistan.

“This time I will really kill you!” declared Abdul Rashid Dostum, a 67-year-old militia leader and former Afghan vice president who has just returned from medical treatment in Turkey, the Sun reported.

Once they take it, there's no way out for the coalition troops and citizens there.
