Foto: Goran Srdanov/Nova.rs autor: 02. sep. 2026. 17:47 Milica, studentkinja iz Niša, kaže da su oni koji su joj ubacili špijunski softver u telefon imali pristup celom njenom životu, a ne samo aktivnostima u studentskom pokretu, kao i da je ovo napad na sve one čije kontakte ima u telefonu. Oglas “Dobila sam obaveštenje na telefon sredinom avgusta. Prvo sam mislila da je u pitanju generičko obaveštenje ili neka reklama. Tek kada sam pažljivija pogledala shvatila sam da piše da je pokušan špijunski napad na moj telefon i prosledila sam kolegi koji se u Nišu bavi IT-jem. Stupili smo u kontakt sa kolegama iz Beograda i shvatili smo da nije jedina kojoj je to obaveštenje stiglo", objašnjava Milica.U slučaju Milice, kako je rečeno, nije još uvek do kraja utvrđeno šta se i kako desilo i da je proces u toku, prenosi N1.Ona dodaje da je ovaj softver otvorio pristup ka svim njenim privatnim razgovorima. “Tek mi je postalo ozbiljno kad sam došla u Beograd da mi se pregleda telefon. Shvatila sam da su oni tim napadom imali pristup celom mom životu, ne samo studentskim sastancima, već i privatnim razgovorima… Mikrofonu i kameri. Mogli su da upale kameru dok se tuširamo, pričamo privatne stvari. Nije normalno ovo što se dešava”, istakla je ona.Kaže da se i "da su došli i do podataka svih ljudi koji podržavaju studente i koji su sa njima u borbi".“Ovo nije napad samo na studente, već na sve kontakte koje ja imam u telefonu", istakla je.Studentkinja Fakulteta političkih nauka Ela Zeković kazala je da je 14 studenata, članova operativnih timova pokreta, špijunirano naprednim špijunskim softverima i da je sve počelo tako što je kompanija Epl poslala saopštenje korisnicima da su, kako tvrdi, bili meta napada.Iz Šer fondacije istakli su da se period targetiranja špijunskim softverom poklapa se sa periodom održavanja kampanje za lokalne izbore.

Roberto Vannacci provoacă agitație în Italia cu atacurile sale surprinzătoare asupra lui Giorgia Meloni New

Roberto Vannacci provoacă agitație în Italia cu atacurile sale surprinzătoare asupra lui Giorgia Meloni

Extremistul de dreapta Roberto Vannacci a profitat de criza carburanților din Italia pentru a lansa un atac direct împotriva prim-ministrului Giorgia Meloni, contestând politica sa externă pro-Ucraina, în termeni surprinzător de asemănători de cei ai Moscovei, arată Financial Times. Argumentele sale aliniate cu retorica Kremlinului amenință să complice campania de realegere a lui Meloni.Când prețurile la benzină din Italia au atins în această vară cel mai ridicat nivel din ultimii trei ani, extremistul de dreapta Roberto Vannacci și-a întrerupt vacanța la plajă pentru a da vina pe Ucraina. Asociat cu organizația neofascistă „Ordine Nuovo”, fostul atașat militar al Italiei la Moscova a susținut că atacurile cu drone ucrainene asupra rafinăriilor de petrol rusești au făcut ca prețurile la combustibil să „se înalțe până la stele”.„Să nu mai dăm arme și bani Ucrainei”, a propus Vannacci într-un videoclip postat pe rețelele sociale, în care nu a menționat războiul din Iran sau impactul acestuia asupra prețurilor petrolului. „Trebuie doar să avem curajul pe care mulți nu îl au”, mai spunea el.Atacul lui Vannacci a deschis un nou front împotriva prim-ministrului Giorgia Meloni, contestând direct politica sa externă pro-Ucraina, în termeni surprinzător de asemănători de cei ai Moscovei.Argumentele sale aliniate cu cele ale Kremlinului, inclusiv un apel la reluarea afacerilor și a comerțului cu Rusia, amenință să complice campania de realegere a lui Meloni, apelând la curentele profunde de pacifism, nemulțumire economică și afinitate față de Moscova existente în Italia.„Fără Vannacci, aș fi pariat fără ezitare pe realegerea lui Meloni. Cu Vannacci, situația este mult mai complicată și mai greu de prevăzut”, a declarat Giovanni Orsina, șeful catedrei de științe politice de la Universitatea Luiss din Roma. Sondajele din vară arătau că noul partid al lui Vannacci, Futuro Nazionale, lansat anul acesta după ce acesta s-a despărțit de Liga de extremă dreapta a vicepremierului Matteo Salvini, se situa la 7,6%, atrăgând sprijinul alegătorilor care  susținuseră odată coaliția de dreapta a lui Meloni.Ascensiune cu ajutorul RusieiUnii analiști bănuiesc că în spatele ascensiunii lui Vannacci se află influența rusă, mai ales după ce Meloni l-a forțat pe Salvini, care a fost cândva un admirator fervent al lui Vladimir Putin, să se alinieze la poziția ei de susținere a Kievului.„Avem suspiciunea că el este un proiect rus”, a declarat Nona Mikhelidze, cercetătoare principală la Institutul pentru Afaceri Internaționale din Roma.Într-o analiză recentă, Consiliul European pentru Relații Externe (ECFR) l-a numit pe Vannacci „un cal troian al influenței ruse în Italia”. „O Roma influențată de Vannacci ar bloca în mod activ inițiativele de apărare ale UE, ar exercita dreptul de veto asupra sancțiunilor și ar divulga informații sensibile privind coordonarea în materie de securitate”, a afirmat ECFR.Un purtător de cuvânt al partidului „Futuro Nazionale” al lui Vannacci a afirmat că poziția partidului față de Rusia este „foarte clară” și că acesta susține „pacea în Ucraina”, mai degrabă decât un „război inutil”.În manifestul său politic publicat recent, partidul subliniază „importanța redeschiderii canalelor de comunicare cu Federația Rusă” pentru a reduce costurile energetice pentru italieni.De asemenea, afirmă că Italia ar trebui să-și reevalueze toate angajamentele asumate prin tratate internaționale, inclusiv posibilitatea retragerii din NATO. „Niciun subiect sau opțiune nu ar trebui considerat un tabu politic”, susține partidul.Printre celelalte idei extreme ale sale se numără deportările în masă, acordarea unui număr mai mare de voturi în alegeri părinților cu copii mici și promovarea „patriarhatului mediteranean”, care „formează bărbați puternici, capabili să-și stăpânească emoțiile”.Deși multe propuneri vor fi respinse ca fiind bizare, Orsina a afirmat că opiniile lui Vannacci cu privire la Rusia vor găsi probabil un public receptiv.„El exprimă o opinie sau o convingere foarte adânc înrădăcinată și larg răspândită - aceea că Rusia nu reprezintă o problemă, că nu este o amenințare la adresa securității. Acesta este unul dintre motivele pentru care Vannacci este atât de periculos”, a spus Orsina.Afinitatea lui Vannacci pentru Rusia a ieșit la iveală când a fost detașat la Moscova în calitate de atașat militar al Italiei la începutul anului 2021, după o carieră de parașutist în străinătate, inclusiv în Irak și Afganistan.Fostul atașat militar britanic în Rusia, John Foreman, care l-a cunoscut la Moscova, și-l amintește pe Vannacci ca pe un om fermecător care nu considera Rusia o amenințare la adresa securității.„Era genul acela de militar italian care crede că nu ar trebui să intrăm în confruntare cu Rusia - că Rusia ar trebui să fie un partener”, a declarat Foreman pentru FT.Vannacci milita cu entuziasm pentru ca Roma să reia cooperarea militară cu Moscova după ce NATO a întrerupt relațiile ca răspuns la anexarea Crimeei de către Rusia în 2014, a adăugat Foreman.Opiniile sociale conservatoare ale lui Vannacci și instinctul său pentru ierarhie l-au făcut, de asemenea, receptiv la Rusia lui Putin.„Este un tip oarecum autoritar. Se poate observa afinitatea pe care o are față de mâna de fier a lui Putin - și de discursul Kremlinului conform căruia Putin a adus disciplină și ordine”, a spus Foreman. Vannacci i-a mulțumit, de asemenea, soției sale românce, Camelia Mihăilescu, cu care este căsătorit de peste 20 de ani, pentru că i-a stârnit interesul față de viața și cultura rusă. Fiica unui ofițer de carieră din armata română lucra ca arhivistă la Academia Militară din București când Vannacci a cunoscut-o în timpul unei călătorii acolo. În 2023, Mihăilescu a declarat pentru un site de știri online din România că perioada petrecută de cuplu și de cele două fiice ale lor la Moscova a fost „una dintre cele mai fantastice” din viața ei.O evaluare greșităÎnainte de invazia Ucrainei, Vannacci era convins că Rusia nu va ataca, în ciuda dovezilor tot mai numeroase privind o concentrare de forțe militare.„A greșit complet în evaluarea sa privind concentrarea de forțe și invazia Ucrainei din 2022”, a spus Foreman. „Afinitatea sa față de Rusia și de regim, lipsa sa de înțelegere a contextului istoric mai larg și, poate, orgoliul și ego-ul său, i-au afectat capacitatea de evaluare”, adaugă acesta.După începerea invaziei, Vannacci i-a spus ambasadorului italian în Rusia, Giorgio Starace, că forțele ruse vor pătrunde în Ucraina „ca un cuțit prin unt” și a prezis că Kievul va capitula rapid.„A supraestimat eficiența și puterea Armatei Roșii și, poate, a subestimat capacitatea ucrainienilor de a rezista”, a spus Starace, amintind de „admirația” lui Vannacci pentru puterea armatei ruse.În mai 2022, Vannacci s-a numărat printre cei 24 de diplomați italieni expulzați din Moscova, după ce Roma a expulzat un grup de diplomați ruși. Ulterior, el a preluat conducerea Institutului de Geografie Militară al Italiei.Apoi, în august 2023, generalul a devenit brusc celebru datorită unei cărți provocatoare, publicată pe cont propriu, intitulată „Lumea cu susul în jos”, care ataca feminismul, homosexualitatea și diversitatea etnică, lăudând în același timp Rusia. A fost demis din funcție și a primit o suspendare de 11 luni, înainte de a părăsi definitiv forțele armate.Însă bestsellerul i-a adus și venituri de 800.000 de euro, după cum a declarat el, și l-a determinat pe Salvini să-l desemneze candidatul principal al Ligii pentru alegerile din 2024 pentru Parlamentul European.Când Vannacci a părăsit Liga în februarie, a lăsat în urmă o atmosferă de amărăciune.„Mă gândeam că ar putea fi o achiziție bună - foarte inteligent, foarte bun la comunicare”, a spus senatorul Ligii Claudio Borghi, care a contribuit la recrutarea lui Vannacci. „Poate că el a considerat că era o modalitate plăcută de a obține un post foarte bine plătit în Parlamentul European”, adaugă acesta.De la tribuna sa din cadrul Parlamentului European, Vannacci a continuat să considere înfrângerea Ucrainei ca fiind inevitabilă, îndemnând Uniunea Europeană să încheie un acord cu Putin și încercând să elimine din documentele parlamentare orice referire la amenințarea pe care o reprezintă Rusia pentru Europa.„Pacea este aproape, la doar un pas distanță”, le-a spus Vannacci colegilor săi europarlamentari anul trecut. „Nu va fi o capitulare în fața lui Putin sau a lui [Donald] Trump, ci o capitulare în fața câmpului de luptă și a realității”, mai spunea el.Pe plan intern, Vannacci susține că problemele economice ale Italiei sunt cauzate parțial din izolarea față de Rusia, care a fost odată cel mai mare furnizor de energie al țării și o piață importantă pentru produsele de lux italiene.

Doria Ragland's 70th Birthday: A Solo Celebration Amidst Family Drama New

Doria Ragland's 70th Birthday: A Solo Celebration Amidst Family Drama

Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, appeared to have a relaxing birthday apart from both her daughter and son-in-law, Prince Harry.The social worker turned 70 years old on Wednesday, and was spotted in California. Ragland looked comfortable in a simple white t-shirt and pajama pants, with her hair up in a bun, in pics obtained by Page Six.She pulled a few weeds on her property and collected her mail, as she took a casual walk outside.Ragland celebrated her milestone birthday as Markle, Harry and their two children — Prince Archie, 7 and Princess Lilibet, 4 — moved back to the UK last week. Meghan Markle’s mom, Doria Ragland, celebrated her 70th birthday in California Wednesday. Pedro Colo for CA PostThe social worker looked comfortable in a white v-neck t-shirt and pajama pants. Pedro Colo for CA PostTMZ reported last month that Ragland — who’s maintained a close relationship with her grandchildren — plans to remain in California, as she’s active within her yoga community on the West Coast and isn’t ready to temporarily leave her life or friends behind. Markle, 45, and Harry, 41, made the shocking decision to go back to his home country six years after they announced they were stepping away from their duties as “senior” members of the royal family and moving to the US, in a move dubbed “Megxit.”The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quietly moved out of their $14 million Montecito, California, mansion where they’d been living since 2020 without much fanfare — and without ever fully integrating themselves into the wealthy community — their neighbors told the Daily Mail.Ragland pulled some weeds in her garden. Pedro Colo for CA PostShe also appeared to collect her mail. Pedro Colo for CA PostPage Six spoke to the couple’s Montecito neighbors last month, and one insider noted that they “couldn’t be more thrilled” with their decision to move back to the UK.Another neighbor bluntly told us, “Good riddance!”They added, “The town is exhausted by them, the entitlement and the never-ending drama.”Meanwhile, we’re told Markle and Harry’s move is making their potential UK neighbors wary.Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield exclusively told Page Six that the “chattering class” of the North Cotswolds — where Markle and Harry are reportedly house hunting — are “not overly excited.”Ragland, Harry and Markle (pictured here in May 2023) have remained close, but TMZ reported last week that Ragland does not want to leave her life in California behind to move to the UK. Getty Images Ms. Foundation for WomenThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex (pictured here in November 2017) arrived back in the UK last week, six years after they shockingly announced they were stepping back as senior members of the royal family and moving to the US. AFP via Getty Images“The Cotswolds can be incredibly welcoming to high-profile people because there’s an unwritten agreement: ‘You don’t make a spectacle of yourself, and neither will we,” Schofield explained.She added, “There’s a sense of, ‘Please don’t bring the circus here.’ These people are used to celebrities. Harry and Meghan are different because wherever they go, the headlines tend to follow.”But Markle appears to be taking the chatter in stride. Her brand, As Ever, promoted their new sparkling wine on Instagram Tuesday with a pointed message.“A new chapter to celebrate,” the company wrote on Instagram alongside two photos of the Reserve Brut bottle.

Maru Campos en el ojo del huracán tras faltar al informe de Sheinbaum

La gobernadora de Chihuahua, Maru Campos, explicó los motivos de su inasistencia al segundo informe de la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum, luego de que su ausencia generara diversas reacciones. La mandataria estatal señaló que, tras las acusaciones formuladas en su contra y las circunstancias derivadas de su labor gubernamental, optó por permanecer en la entidad para atender actividades de su agenda oficial.Asimismo, indicó que tomó la decisión en un acto de prudencia y reiteró su disposición para mantener la colaboración institucional con el Gobierno Federal. Campos destacó que su actuación se encuentra orientada a la representación de los ciudadanos de Chihuahua.Posicionamiento de Maru Campos“Entiendo que fui la única gobernadora que no asistió y eso ha generado especulaciones. Al respecto les digo que uno sabe bien cuándo una invitación es por compromiso y cuándo por consideración.Después de las acusaciones que se han formulado en mi contra, después de la ofensiva que se emprendió por cumplir con mis responsabilidades de gobierno, no me pude sentir invitada por consideración.Y sí, efectivamente, en acto de prudencia, por consideración a la propia presidenta incluso, decidí no asistir y atender agenda aquí en el estado. A muchos mi presencia iba a resultar incómoda.En los tiempos que corren de polarización que se siembra desde el poder, no podemos esperar actos auténticamente republicanos. Y yo no me represento a mí, sino a los chihuahuenses.Reitero siempre mi disposición de colaboración con el Gobierno Federal, por el bien de los chihuahuenses”.

T-Boz's Health Struggle: The Sickle Cell Crisis Behind Missed TLC Shows New

T-Boz's Health Struggle: The Sickle Cell Crisis Behind Missed TLC Shows

TLC member Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins’ manager has offered an update on her health after she missed multiple tour dates with Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue. “Tionne recently experienced a sickle cell crisis that required hospitalization, and she is currently recovering and regaining her strength,” TLC rep Christal Jordan told USA Today on Wednesday, September 2. “ T-Boz, 56, was absent from several TLC concert dates over the past week, leading to bandmate Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas performing the group’s songs solo. (The third original member of TLC, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, was killed in a car crash in April 2002.) A viral video shot during TLC’s show at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, featured Chilli addressing T-Boz’s absence. “I'm going to ask each and every one of you to help me hold her down tonight,” an emotional Chilli, 55, says in the clip. TLC’s manager subsequently praised fans for their “overwhelming” support for T-Boz in light of her recent health problem. “Hearing audiences sing her parts, lift her up in prayer, and surround TLC with so much love has meant more than we can express,” Jordan said. “Sickle cell is a serious illness, so we ask everyone to please keep the prayers coming as Tionne continues to recover. We are immensely grateful for the love and support. T-Boz was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia as a child. Pet the Mayo Clinic, sickle cell anemia impacts the shape of red blood cells as they carry oxygen to the rest of the body. “When you have sickle cell, your red blood cells get stuck on their way around your veins, causing blockages and stopping the oxygen from getting to your vital organs,” the singer wrote in her 2017 memoir, A Sick Life. “Where there’s a lack of oxygen, you can go into a crisis, an attack of severe pain, sometimes located only in a certain spot and sometimes all over your body. Often, it’s hard to breathe or walk or even do something as basic as holding a pen. A crisis can happen without any warning. Just, bam! You’re in the hospital again.” Prior to this latest health scare, TLC cancelled a show at the New York State Fair in Syracuse in August 2024 around 30 minutes before it was supposed to begin. “Shortly after arriving in Syracuse, Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins experienced sudden and severe nausea, vomiting and intense abdominal cramps,” a statement from the group read. “She was immediately seen by a doctor and subsequently taken to the hospital for further evaluation.” T-Boz offered an update on her condition when doctors later diagnosed her with a “severe abdominal blockage.” “I’m on The Mend!!! This Was Just One Of Those Unexpected Things That I Had No Control Over,” she wrote via Instagram on August 24, 2024. “I Look Forward To Making It Up 2 You All … And Hopefully I’ll Get Out Of The Hospital Soon!!! As Soon As Tomorrow If All Goes Well!!! Thank You For Understanding… Blessings Always, T.” TLC’s It’s Iconic Tour with Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue is currently set to wrap up on October 11, 2026, in Concord, California.

Ezra Frech Aims to Transform Perceptions on 'Dancing With the Stars' New

Ezra Frech Aims to Transform Perceptions on 'Dancing With the Stars'

Paralympian Ezra Frech’s reasons for competing on Dancing With the Stars are personal and powerful. “This is my purpose. I want to change the way the world sees disability,” Frech, 21, exclusively shared with Us on Wednesday, September 2, after the full cast for season 35 was revealed on Good Morning America. “I literally feel like I was put on this earth for that reason, and I've attempted to do it through track and field my whole life, and then now I get the opportunity to hopefully do that through dance.” Frech — who was born with congenital limb differences, leading to the amputation of his left leg at the age of 3 — previously won two gold medals at the 2024 Summer Paralympics. When not competing in high jump, long jump and sprinting events, the University of Southern California grad is serving as a motivational speaker and disability advocate. “I am leaning in 100 percent,” Frech shared about his journey into the ballroom. “I want to make my community proud, and hopefully, we can do something special this season.” While it’s too soon for Frech and his DWTS partner, Daniella Karagach, to finalize a team name, the pair are already displaying great chemistry as they prepare to perform their first dance in front of judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. “I feel like we're pretty compatible,” Frech shared from New York City. “She’s already big sis.” Karagach, 33, added, “I'm protector energy. I'm bringing that mother protector energy.” While some in the competition like Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr. may have some prior dance experience, Frech admitted his athletic skills are primarily from a track field. When asked if DWTS is harder than competing in the Paralympics, Frech didn’t hesitate in his answer. “Definitely Dancing with the Stars. The Paralympics and track and field. I grew up doing this since I was 8 years old,” he explained. “It's my bread and butter, and now I'm throwing all that to the back burner for a couple months and gonna try to do everything I can to become a ballroom dancer.” Fortunately, he has a coach who is already impressed. “You're getting there,” Karagach said. “It's only been a week, and you're really getting there.” Dancing With the Stars season 35 kicks off with a two-night premiere on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET.
