Putin’s ‘All Weapons’ Warning Puts Kaliningrad Tensions in Spotlight New

Putin’s ‘All Weapons’ Warning Puts Kaliningrad Tensions in Spotlight

Published 11:49 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1Putin issues warning to West as Russia vows to use ‘all weapons’ to protect Kaliningrad'All this is an escalation', the Russian leader saidRussian President Vladimir Putin has issued a warning to the West as he noted that Moscow is prepared to use 'all weapons' necessary, including nuclear, to defend its regions. The world leader urged that he is 'not threatening anyone', but noted that 'if we come across an aggression, we will have to respond'.His statement comes after tensions between Russia and the West soaring in recent weeks, with a series of incidents raising fresh fears that the war in Ukraine could spill beyond its borders. European officials have accused Moscow of intensifying a campaign of sabotage, cyberattacks and other so-called hybrid operations, while Russian drones and military aircraft have been linked to a number of airspace incidents involving NATO countries.

(Contributor/Getty Images)And now, Russia has issued a warning to NATO, saying it would be prepared to use its entire arsenal, including nuclear weapons, if the exclave were to be isolated from the rest of Russia.During a QnA after Putin’s speech at the annual Valdai Discussion Club meeting in Moscow (October 1), the Russian leader said: "These statements, statements by the western politicians and European politicians about the need and possibility and preparation for the war with Russia in 2029 and 2030."It’s not us saying these words, but we hear it from the other side, constantly."Tensions between the regions have soared in recent months. (VYACHESLAV PROKOFYEV/POOL/AFP via Getty Images)But he further noted: "If it comes to a direct attack on the Russian Federation - in this case we mean Kaliningrad, but may be some other territories as well - of course, naturally, immediately what will be on the agenda is the use of all weapons that we are the disposal of our country."Putin went onto accuse Western governments of taking his comments out of context, and using claims that Russia is threatening nuclear action to divert public attention from what he described as their increasingly aggressive approach towards Moscow and their role in escalating tensions."The citizens of the European countries should be fully aware of that and make the distinction between our position and the position of incumbent governments of their countries," he added.But after pausing for a moment, the Russian president concluded: "I do not think we are going to conduct strikes on the territory of countries procuring weapons for Ukraine, but this is a threat, and we are monitoring it closely."Featured Image Credit: contributor/Getty ImagesTopics: World News, Vladimir Putin, Russia, Europe, News

Christa Pike’s Condition Draws Attention After Failed Lethal Injection New

Christa Pike’s Condition Draws Attention After Failed Lethal Injection

Updated 20:47 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 20:38 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1breakingChrista Pike was scheduled to be executed in Tennessee on 30 SeptemberChrista Pike's lawyers have revealed her condition in an update after she was taken to hospital after surviving two doses of lethal injection on 30 September. Having been injected with two rounds during her scheduled execution, Pike allegedly 'remains critically ill' and is being treated at a hospital in Nashville, Texas, per her legal team. The status update was given in court filings today, per CBS News, which claims she has suffered significant injuries to both arms and requires a ventilator to breathe. The 50-year-old was injected with two doses of pentobarbital during her execution, despite earlier petitions to stop it from going ahead. Advert"We don't have a sense of her prognosis or much update on her health at the moment," her lawyer Randy Spivey previously said at a news conference on Thursday. "But we do know that that she is alive right now." Christa Pike has spent 30 years on death row for the murder of a classmate (Knox County Sheriff's Department)WPLN reporter Catherine Sweeney witnessed the execution attempt, and revealed that Pike was still conscious after the attempt to stop her heart with the injection. "They went through two rounds, and she was still breathing at the end, it was very ragged, she lifted her head up and was looking around at one point," she said. "She said there was a spot that was burning and hurting and asked if that was normal. None of that was normal." In light of the failure, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee said the investigation into Pike's execution 'will be thorough' but 'it's going to take time'. "There are a lot of questions," he said. "The people of our state deserve to have those questions answered, and that's what this investigation is for." Journalists inside the execution chamber have since come out to talk about the 50-year-old's condition in the immediate moments after the drug was administered. For example, she was allegedly heard 'snoring loudly' for up to 40 minutes after being given the 'lethal' drug. The Tennessee Department of Correction has since insisted that they did everything correctly, with a spokesperson claiming: "The Tennessee Department of Correction followed every step of the State's lawful, established execution protocol approved by the Attorney General's Office. "The lethal injection chemical in the protocol has consistently been effective, and the protocol does not allow for additional procedures beyond what was carried out this evening. Christa Pike has been transported to an off-site medical facility." Recently, Donald Trump was asked by White House reporters on whether or not he would push for reforms to capital punishment due to Pike’s situation. That’s when the US leader said: “Well, that was an interesting situation, but you’re going to have to speak to Tennessee about it, whether or not they’re going to go forward. “You know what that was about. That was an execution where the medication didn’t exactly work.” President Trump then said to Ronny Jackson, a Republican congressman and former physician, that he’d need clarification on what happened, as Jackson replied: "I don’t know how that happens. It should be easy to do." "It shouldn’t be very difficult," Trump agreed. Featured Image Credit: Tennessee Department of CorrectionTopics: Crime, US News

Zaposleni u Hitnoj tvrde: SNS skup ili premeštaj na drugo mesto

Među njima su oni koji rade na određeno, a koji bi, kako kažu za Nova.rs, mogli da izgube mogućnost stalnog zaposlenja ukoliko ne prihvate da odu na skup. Oglas Pritisci na zaposlene u državnim firmama nisu novina kada je reč o SNS skupovima, ali sada ne zaobilaze ni zaposlene u zdravstvenim ustanovama.Proteklih dana u Hitnoj pomoći od pojedinih radnika, kako oni kažu, nadležni su zahtevali da se u subotu pojave na SNS skupu u Areni.“Pozivi za odlazak na skup dolaze od pojedinih osoba na rukovodećim pozicijama. Oni, međutim, nisu pozvali sve zaposlene, već uglavnom one koji rade na određeno vreme. U pitanju su indirektni pritisci. Oni se dešavaju u kontekstu odlaska na skup pominju se predstojeći konkursi za stalno zaposlenje, što kolege vide kao oblik pritiska.

Ipak ima i onih koji osećaju da moraju da odu jer se plaše da će ostati bez posla, a mnogi to sebi ne mogu da priušte", navodi naš sagovornik.Premeštaj ili SNS skupOsim što im je sugerisano da možda neće dobiti stalni posao, delu zaposlenih predočeno je da bi “za kaznu” mogli da završe na drugom radnom mestu.“Ljudi su uplašeni da će ih prebaciti na drugo mesto ili u ekipe sa kojima do sada nisu radili, na pozicijama na kojima i ne žele da rade, što je takođe vid pritiska”, kažu u Hitnoj pomoći.O pritiscima koje trpe zaposleni povodom odlaska na SNS skup u Beogradsku arenu, pokušali smo da dobijemo komentar i odgovore od direktora Zavoda za hitnu medicinsku pomoć dr Gorana Čolakovića. Na naš poziv odgovorio je da je "na sastanku", nakon čega smo mu poslali više poruka sa decidnim objašnjenjem teme koju radimo, ali se on nije oglasio do objavljivanja ovog teksta.

Michael Goessling’s DNA Discovery Led Him to Rock Legend Michael McDonald New

Michael Goessling’s DNA Discovery Led Him to Rock Legend Michael McDonald

Updated 20:31 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 16:23 2 Oct 2026 GMT+1His father has won five Grammy awardsA 59-year-old man discovered by chance that his biological father was part of a band that has sold more than 48 million records.Michael Goessling was put up for adoption when he was still just an infant, and said that while he 'always knew' that he had been adopted, he was curious about the identity of his biological parents.Goessling, from St. Louis, Missouri, told KMOV: “I had a wonderful childhood." Of his adoptive parents Paul and Kay, he said: "I could not have handpicked two finer folks to raise me.”But his curiosity was further piqued when he received a notification that a half-brother he wasn't even aware of had taken a 23andMe DNA test.AdvertIt led him to discover that his biological father was none other than five-time Grammy Award-winning musician Michael McDonald.McDonald is the lead singer of Californian rock band the Doobie Brothers, who scored number one hits in the US in the 1970s with 'What a Fool Believes' and 'Black Water'.Michael Goessling (left) with Michael McDonald (KMOV)Goessling told CNN: "I was a crazy Doobie Brothers fan and people remember me singing along to ‘China Grove’ and listening to their music like ‘Black Water’ back in the day. I was always a bit of a music nut and it’s starting to make sense nowadays.”KMOV reported that both McDonald and Goessling’s mother were 14 years old when he was conceived, meaning he was put up for adoption. They have remained friends over the years.Goessling was soon able to connect with his birth mother, meeting her in person, and then spoke to his biological father by phone, asking what he did for work, being told that he was a musician and was touring in St Louis that very summer.The 58-year-old recalled how he eventually dropped the inevitable question, saying: “And then I finally said, ‘Are you Michael McDonald?’” Goessling said. “And he said, ‘Yeah, I’m afraid so.’”Goessling said it was pure coincidence that they share the same first name, saying: “I was unnamed, so it was my mom, Kay, who named me."McDonald has also opened up about finding out what had happened to his son, and paid tribute to Paul and Kay, who adopted Goessling.“I always carried that guilt with me, but just to know that he was okay and that he had a good life, and a life certainly that I wouldn’t have been able to afford him at that time in my life, was a great reward," said McDonald."The real rock stars in this story for us are his adoptive parents, who really gave Michael everything a child needs in terms of love and security.”Father and son were able to meet in person (Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Songwriters Hall Of Fame)After speaking over the phone at first, the father and son were reunited in person.“He just put his arms out, just gave me a big old bear hug and told me he loved me, and I told him the same,” said Goessling.Recalling the moment, McDonald said: “It was a wonderful, wonderful experience to see Michael and get to meet my son after all these years thinking about him."As if that wasn't enough of a huge revelation for both men, McDonald also found out that he is a grandfather.“Yeah, that’s still sinking in for me. What a gift,” McDonald said. “My daughter-in-law is just the daughter-in-law you’d hope for as a parent. And the kids are two of the greatest kids you’d ever meet. I’m just so proud of them.”McDonald is known for his membership of the Doobie Brothers, and was also a member of Steely Dan.Featured Image Credit: KMOVTopics: US News, Music, Celebrity
