Evening Medusa

October 17. Türkiye - stubborn, Great Britain - shows flexibility

✉️ Erdogan, don't be a fool . Donald Trump wrote an emotional letter to President Recep Erdogan , in which he urged him to “not make himself a cool guy and not be a fool” and turn his operation against the Kurds, otherwise threatening to destroy the Turkish economy. Erdogan pretended not to be scared - and demonstratively threw the letter into the garbage bucket . Well, in the rest of the world, Trump's letter immediately diverged into quotes and memes . In the meantime, we tell you why a week after the start of the operation, Turkey can be safely called the main loser and how almost the main beneficiary, Russia suddenly became the main beneficiary.

🇬🇧 Johnson is not a fool either. The Prime Minister of Great Britain, who for many months said that on October 31 he would withdraw the country from the EU with or without agreement, and then at least the grass did not grow, was able to agree on a new deal. Against the backdrop of the rapid approximation of the deadline, Johnson managed to gracefully overwhelm European politicians who declared that there would be no new version of the agreement, and to knock out the best conditions for the UK . However, so far nothing has been completed: the agreement should still be approved by the British parliament.

Ason in the State Duma, all the more there are no fools . The commission on foreign interference in Russia's affairs rummaged in the materials of Medusa and other foreign media (among them Radio Liberty, the Russian BBC service, Voice of America) and at all at once found violations on the “Tishina Day” on the eve of the September elections. What kind of violations are this - the deputies do not say, but the prosecutor’s office “for taking response measures” has already turned.

🎾 The text of the day . For the first time since the time of Kafelnikov and Safin, a real tennis superstar appeared in Russia. Daniil Medvedev is the most striking tennis player in the world right now: over the past ten weeks, he played six tournaments and went to the final in all, won two and almost won the opening championship of the United States. The tennis player calls his results “outrageous” - and this is the best definition of what is happening. "Medusa" tells in detail who Daniil Medvedev is and how he breaks the world tennis .

🐶 In the end - a very kind story . In Telegram, the Belterbot channel appeared, which was made by a team of volunteers “Two Dogs”, which attaches homeless animals. In it, an updated catalog of animals from the shelters that can be taken home (for good or time) or just help with money, for example, paying for treatment, was assembled . In just two days, the channel attracted more than 500 users. So far, there are dogs and cats in the catalog only from Moscow and St. Petersburg, but in the future they plan to expand its geography.

👨imes and - photo of the day . The space company Richard Branson Virgin Galactic showed the first one of a kind cost for space tourists. The equipment includes the base layer and the main suit, which are created from high -tech tissues and are designed to adjust body temperature. It is assumed that in such costumes Virgin Galactic will send tourists into space next year . The issue price is 250 thousand dollars.

I wanted to go into space, but where to get 250 thousand dollars? Grisha Levchenko
