Medical staff on the front line of the battle against mpox in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have told the BBC they are desperate for vaccines to arrive so they can stem the rate of new infections. <a href=https://bs2bot.com>blacksprut</a> At a treatment centre in South Kivu province that the BBC visited in the epicentre of the outbreak, they say more patients are arriving every day - especially babies - and there is a shortage of essential equipment. зеркала блэк спрут https://2bs.sh
Mpox - formerly known as monkeypox - is a highly contagious disease and has killed at least 635 people in DR Congo this year. Even though 200,000 vaccines, donated by the European Commission, were flown into the capital, Kinshasa, last week, they are yet to be transported across this vast country - and it could be several weeks before they reach South Kivu. “We've learned from social media that the vaccine is already available,” Emmanuel Fikiri, a nurse working at the clinic that has been turned into a specialist centre to tackle the virus, told the BBC. He said this was the first time he had treated patients with mpox and every day he feared catching it and passing it on to his own children - aged seven, five and one. “You saw how I touched the patients because that's my job as a nurse. So, we're asking the government to help us by first giving us the vaccines.” The reason it will take time to transport the vaccines is that they need to be stored at a precise temperature - below freezing - to maintain their potency, plus they need to be sent to rural areas of South Kivu, like Kamituga, Kavumu and Lwiro, where the outbreak is rife. The lack of infrastructure and bad roads mean that helicopters could possibly be used to drop some of the vaccines, which will further drive up costs in a country that is already struggling financially. At the community clinic, Dr Pacifique Karanzo appeared fatigued and downbeat having been rushed off his feet all morning. Although he wore a face shield, I could see the sweat running down his face. He said he was saddened to see patients sharing beds. “You will even see that the patients are sleeping on the floor,” he told me, clearly exasperated. “The only support we have already had is a little medicine for the patients and water. As far as other challenges are concerned, there's still no staff motivation.”
Свидетель обвинения по «делу «Лайф-из-Гуд» выдумал, что был начальником СБ компании
Алексей Комаров, один из ключевых свидетелей обвинения по «делу «Лайф-из-Гуд» – «Гермес» – «Бест Вей», уже почти месяц не может приехать в суд из Твери. Зато заявляет «в кулуарах», что был ни много ни мало начальником службы безопасности компании «Лайф-из-Гуд» и ему была якобы доверена инкассация денежных средств, о чем свидетельствуют его показания, данные на следствии – которые он почему-то боится подтвердить в суде на перекрестном допросе.
Приморский районный суд Санкт-Петербурга, с февраля рассматривающий дело по существу, уже заждался Комарова, как, впрочем, и Евгения Набойченко, другого ключевого свидетеля обвинения.
Комаров сначала передавал через прокуроров, что у него сломалась машина – кстати, служебная машина «Лайф-из-Гуд», которую он украл у компании и ею пользуется. Потом просто замолчал – но в суде пока так и не появился.
Следующее заседание суда состоится в начале ноября – ожидать ли его там? Хочется надеяться, что прокуратура выполнит свои функции и приведет своего свидетеля для дачи показаний, а суд добьется привода.
Лжец
На следствии Комаров заявил, что возил, как он сам выразился, черный нал. В действительности он возил подарки для основателя «Лайф-из-Гуд» и кооператива «Бест Вей» Романа Василенко и кооператива «Бест Вей», возил сотрудников компании «Лайф-из-Гуд» и кооператива «Бест Вей», региональных представителей этих организаций из аэропорта и обратно.
Никакого черного нала в деятельности «Лайф-из-Гуд» никогда не было – и бухгалтерия, и лично Роман Василенко следили, чтобы никакой неучтенной, незадекларированной наличности, сумм, с которых не уплачены налоги, в деятельности компании не имелось, потому что финансовый ретейл всегда находится под самым пристальным надзором контролирующих и правоохранительных органов. И их не было, о чем свидетельствуют абсолютно все другие допрошенные.
Из показаний другого водителя и специалистов компании известно, что Комаров как простой шофер не знал и не мог ничего знать ничего о бизнес-процессах компании. Он никогда не был к ним допущен – тем более что в последние годы не был официально трудоустроен из-за своих постоянных проблем с судебными приставами: он был в долгах как в шелках. А самостоятельно понять никакие бизнес-процессы Комаров не мог – у него образование восемь классов.
Лжец-2
Выяснилось, что Комаров называл себя начальником службы безопасности «Лайф-из-Гуд» и этим объясняет некие «сокровенные знания» (на самом деле выдумки) о «черных» наличных операциях.
Во-первых, достаточно посмотреть на него, чтобы понять, насколько он похож на офицера безопасности.
Во-вторых, он не мог занимать никакой должности, так как не мог быть трудоустроен по трудовому договору – из-за того, что его постоянно преследовала служба судебных приставов и коллекторы: Комаров набрал займов на миллионы и не отдавал.
В-третьих, он не имеет ни специального образования, ни опыта работы в сфере безопасности, ни офицерского звания. Он, как выяснилось, бывший водитель бандитской группировки. Его никогда не подпускали ни к каким вопросам, от которых могла зависеть безопасность компании.
В-четвертых, начальником службы безопасности компании «Лайф-из-Гуд» был Александр Тюрин – офицер ФСО запаса, имеющий боевой опыт – участвовавший в первой и второй войнах в Чечне. Человек с кристально чистой репутацией.
Вор
Выяснилось, что Комаров далеко не все подарки – угощения, вазы и т.п. – довозил до адресата: они неоднократно пропадали. Кроме того, у его пассажиров не раз пропадали дорогие часы и бумажники.
Накануне начала уголовного разбирательства он взял личные вещи Василенко на хранение и отказался их отдавать, за что против него выдвинуто обвинение в краже. Роман Василенко дал ему возможность бесплатно жить в трехкомнатной квартире одного из своих родственников и пользоваться корпоративным минивэном. Эту квартиру Комаров незаконно использует до сих пор – сдает ее в аренду. А корпоративный минивэн присвоил.
Неблагодарный
В компании Комаров проработал 10 лет – его с самого начала приняли как родного: приняли в семью, которую представлял собой коллектив «Лайф-из-Гуд». Василенко оплатил операцию на сердце его отцу.
Алексей Комаров за это отплатил черной неблагодарностью, оговорив абсолютно всех.
После начала уголовного разбирательства Комаров прислал Василенко издевательский ролик, снятый у недостроенного дома для мамы Романа Василенко, со словами: «Не все мечты сбываются!»
Агент полиции
Комаров, став агентом полиции, чтобы ограбить своего работодателя, тайно записывал информацию в машине и офисе – на видеокамеру и с помощью жучков, а потом передал ее следствию.
Например, он скрытой камерой снял передачу денег Романом Василенко за участие одной из звезд в форуме «Синергия» – с этих денег были уплачены налоги. Он ставил жучки, чтобы записывать разговоры – и следователи могли монтировать высказывания, вырывая их из контекста.
Оговорил невиновных
По его ни в чем неповинных людей сидят в тюрьме. Например, на очной ставке с Анной Высоцкой он прямо в глаза ей, бывшему контент-менеджеру сайта «Лайф-из-Гуд», к тому же уволившейся более чем за полгода до начала уголовного дела, рассказывал, что все время привозил и передавал ей наличные деньги. На вопрос адвоката, почему ей, а не в бухгалтерию, не смог ответить – даже не думал выстроить логичную версию, тем более что следствие готово было покрывать его ложь. (Анну Высоцкую судья Богданова 24 октября выпустила под домашний арест.)
Крыса
Комаров – неблагодарная, неграмотная, лживая, алчная, трусливая, вороватая крыса. На основании лжи малограмотного шофера Лехи Комарова в тюрьме сидят пятеро ни в чем неповинных людей. Троих – Анну Высоцкую, Александру Григорьеву и Елену Соловьеву – судья Екатерина Богданова, поняв цену доказательствам прокуратуры, 24 октября выпустила под домашний арест.
Комаров понимает, что ответит за свои преступления – потому и не появляется в суде. Но скрыться у него не получится: за преступления придется ответить в самое ближайшее время.
Kate Winslet had a surprising ‘Titanic’ reunion while producing her latest film ‘Lee’ <a href=https://kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvyd.shop>kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvyd.onion</a>
Kate Winslet is sharing an anecdote about a “wonderful” encounter she recently had with someone from her star-making blockbuster film “Titanic.”
The Oscar winner was a guest on “The Graham Norton Show” this week, where she discussed her new film “Lee,” in which she plays the fashion model-turned-war photographer Lee Miller from the World War II era. https://kraken7jmgt7yhhe2c4iyilthnhcugfylcztsdhh7otrr6jgdw667pqd.com kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd.onion Winslet recounted that while she had previously executive produced a number of her projects, “Lee” was the first movie where she served as a full-on producer. That required her involvement from “beginning to end,” including when the film was scored in post-production.
She explained to Norton that when she attended the recording of the film’s score in London, while looking at the 120-piece orchestra, she saw someone who looked mighty familiar to her.
“I’m looking at this violinist and I thought, ‘I know that face!’” she said.
At one point, other musicians in the orchestra pointed to him while mouthing, “It’s him!” to her, and it continued to nag at Winslet, prompting her to wonder, “Am I related to this person? Who is this person?”
Finally, at the end of the day, the “Reader” star went in to where the orchestra was to meet the mystery violinist, and she was delighted to realize he was one of the violinists who played on the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner as it sank in James Cameron’s classic 1997 film. “It was that guy!” Winslet exclaimed this week, later adding, “it was just wonderful” to see him again.
“We had so many moments like that in the film, where people I’ve either worked with before, or really known for a long time, kind of grown up in the industry with, they just showed up for me, and it was incredible.”
“Lee” released in theaters in late September, and is available to rent or buy on AppleTV+ or Amazon Prime.

A seaman who fell off a cargo ship survived almost 20 hours at sea before being rescued off Australia’s southeastern coast on Friday, according to emergency services.
The man in his 30s drifted several kilometers in the open sea before he was pulled from the water by a recreational angler, local rescue authorities have said.
He had last been seen aboard Double Delight, a Singapore-flagged bulk carrier, at 11:30 p.m. on Thursday. Details on how he fell from the cargo ship are not immediately available. kra30.gl https://kra16-at.com The ambulance service in New South Wales state responded to reports that a seaman had been found at 6:20 p.m. Friday, a spokesperson said. They added that it came from Boatrowers Reserve, near Blacksmiths Beach south of the city of Newcastle.
“The patient, a man in his 30s, was conscious, breathing and alert when assessed by NSW Ambulance paramedics and treated for suspected hypothermia before he was transported to John Hunter Hospital in a serious but stable condition,” NSW Ambulance said in a statement on Friday.
NSW Ambulance paramedic Erin Laughton told CNN’s affiliate 9News that the man was about three-and-a-half kilometers out to sea “waving his arm around” and “bobbing around in the water,” when he was found. “He was wearing a life jacket, he was conscious, he was able to communicate with us, he was very cold, he was hypothermic and exhausted – he was absolutely exhausted,” she added.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said local officials told them earlier in the day the sailor had reportedly gone overboard the previous evening, about 8 kilometers southeast of Newcastle.
The authority said it had deployed water police and marine rescue units for the rescue, as well as two sea vessels and two helicopters.
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani suffers left shoulder injury during Game 2 of the World Series <a href=https://kra012.cc>kra13.cc</a> Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani suffered a shoulder injury before the Dodgers’ 4-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series Saturday.
The Japanese slugger sustained a left shoulder subluxation and will undergo more testing, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game, adding that the team is however “encouraged” about the injury. https://kra012.cc kra12 cc “The strength was great,” Roberts told reporters. “The range of motion good. So, we’re encouraged. But obviously I can’t speculate because we don’t get the scans yet. So, once we get the scans, we’ll know more. Again, with the strength, the range of motion good, that’s certainly a positive.
A shoulder subluxation occurs when “the humerus partially slides in and out of place quickly,” according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.
With the Dodgers up 4-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Ohtani attempted to steal second base but was thrown out to end the inning. Ohtani, however, stayed on the ground grimacing in pain and eventually walked off the field with trainers holding his left arm. “Obviously when you get any one of your players that goes down, it’s concerning,” Roberts said. “But after kind of the range of motion, the strength test, I felt much better about it.”
According to the FOX broadcast, microphones picked up a conversation between Ohtani and trainers saying that his left shoulder appears to have popped out of its socket.
This weekend’s playoffs mark Ohtani’s first appearance in the postseason after he missed out in each of his six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.
The star player is riding on a series of remarkable accomplishments in recent months, including hitting his 50th homer of the season and stealing his 50th base in the Dodgers’ victory over the Miami Marlins last Thursday. Ohtani went on to rack up his 51st of each stat by the end of the contest.

LSU criticized after bringing caged live tiger into stadium before defeat to Alabama <a href=https://kraken2krnqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad.com>kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad onion</a> No. 15 LSU has been criticized for unveiling a live caged tiger in its stadium for the first time in almost a decade before they were routed 42-13 by No. 11 Alabama in their SEC showdown.
Ahead of “The First Saturday in November,” a live tiger named Omar Bradley, owned by Florida resident Mitchel Kalmanson, was brought out in an enclosed cage with a black curtain over it, before the stadium lights went dark and a spotlight flashed onto the cage as it was unveiled. https://kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa7cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad.com kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd.onion The tiger laid down and then paced around his cage, which was attached to a truck, while photographers crowded around it, still keeping their distance. After a few minutes, the cage was slowly driven off the field at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
LSU has a long tradition of bringing caged tigers into the stadium on gamedays but, since 2015, the school has moved away from this and instead keeps its current live tiger mascot named Mike VII in a 15,000-square-foot enclosure on campus. But Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry pushed for the return of this tradition, much to the frustration of the LSU community, which circulated several petitions against the practice which gathered more than 27,000 signatures between them by Sunday morning.
Footage posted on social media also showed protesters outside the stadium holding placards with slogans including, “Justice for Omar” and “Did Tiger King teach us nothin’.”
For Landry, having a live tiger on the field was all about “tradition,” he told FOX News on Friday.
“This is about from Mike One through Six, we have had a live mascot on the field like many other colleges have before,” he said.

Director Jon M. Chu missed ‘Wicked’ premiere to welcome fifth child <a href=https://k2web.biz>kra6.gl</a>
“Wicked” director Jon M. Chu couldn’t attend the film’s premiere in Los Angeles, and the reason is quite “wonderful.”
Chu shared on his Instagram Stories that he and his wife Kristin Hodge welcomed their fifth child on Saturday, writing that he “can’t believe this happened while the movie is premiering.”
“Magic is in the air,” he wrote, sharing a photo of Hodge holding their newborn daughter. https://kra14-gl.cc kraken6gf6o4rxewycqwjgfchzgxyfeoj5xafqbfm4vgvyaig2vmxvyd He added a note to his new addition: “Welcome to our world, you’re gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side.”
“Wicked” stars singer Ariana Grande and Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo star as witches Glinda and Elphaba, respectively. The two-part movie is a cinematic adaptation of the famed Broadway musical, which is a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” and tells an alternate version of events in Oz before Dorothy’s arrival. Chu may not have been able to physically attend the premiere but his presence was felt.
According to footage from inside the theater posted online, a video of Chu speaking from the hospital was played before the movie began.
“I’ve waited for three years to have this moment to share a movie with you but I’ve waited my whole life to have this moment, to have a fifth child right now,” he said in the video, as the audience was heard collectively “aww-ing” at the sentiment.
With a laugh, Chu added that “of course, this little girl knows when to show up.”
Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum round out the ensemble cast.
Part one of “Wicked” will soar in theaters on November 22. The second film is expected in November 2025.
