Terrorist attacks in Catalonia. 14 dead, more than 100 wounded

The attack in Barcelona occurred in the evening of August 17, but events developed all night.

How Navalny deceived Life

This is an incredible story. Navalny went with his wife to France on the occasion of her birthday. Life inflated from this a great story and announced a award of 50 thousand rubles for a video with Navalny on vacation.

Through a friend , they sent the video “Life” and received 10 thousand rubles (although they promised 50!). The proceeds are transferred to the Navalny campaign; So the head of Life Aram Gabrelyanov sponsored a policy that he cannot stand.

Schwarzenegger strikes the ultra -right

In the United States, in the wake of a fierce discussion around the ultra -right, which began with the mass march of nationalists , the former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger made a soulful speech . As a person born in Austria in 1947, he talked about how it was - to grow among the former Nazis.

I was born in Austria in 1947 - shortly after the Second World War. I grew up among broken men - men who returned from the war with stuffed shrapnel and with a sense of guilt; Men who went along the wrong path and followed the ideology that was doomed to failure. I can tell you that these ghosts, which you now honor as idols, spent the rest of their lives ashamed. And now they are all in hell.

I know that you were not born with such anticipated views. No one is born with them. And the truth is that it is never too late to make a choice. It’s not too late to learn, change, understand that each person is equally valuable.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the authorities do not prohibit the march of the memory of Rudolf Hesse .
