Correspondent: It all started violently and ended just as violently. The question of budget amendments to pay off the external debt initially angered the Duma and almost caused a quarrel between the deputies and the government. And the end result was quite expected. The Duma essentially approved the government proposals. The scandal that broke out at the meeting, oddly enough, did not prevent the deputies from even meeting the allotted time.

Correspondent: Kiev. 2 am. Tent camp. Information has just reached here that today, when the last windows of the tall buildings darken, the police will make another attempt to clear the central street. The camp is on alert. A large baton was even handed to a 5-year-old child, who a week ago came to Kyiv from western Ukraine with his father to guard this territory.

Correspondent: As it should be, in the 21st century the news came from the World Wide Web, from the page of the Russian government.

Correspondent: The appointment took place on New Year’s Eve ≈ December 29th. Most interested parties learned the name of the capital's chief judge from newspapers.

It is not clear how a year later Egorova still became the chairman of the city court.

This is not the first time for Igor Ivanov to visit Egypt. Been here last November and before. But until now he had no time for the famous pyramids.

Correspondent: Palestinian boys on the streets now wear masks worn by Hamas militants during the intifada. The most popular flag after the Palestinian one is the Iraqi one.
