🤡 Peskov claims there are no political prisoners in Russia
“Russia categorically denies having political prisoners, so the issue of their release in exchange for easing sanctions was not discussed,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
There are more than 5,000 people in Russia being persecuted for political reasons, of whom at least 1,400 have been recognized by human rights defenders as prisoners of conscience.

🇬🇧🇪🇺 UK’s PM says rejoining the EU is BACK on the table
Andy Burnham told his party conference that Brexit has "done more harm than good."
He's launching a review of Britain's relationship with Europe, with options ranging from staying as is, to joining a customs union or the single market, to going "all the way" and rejoining.
That's a big U-turn from Labour's 2024 manifesto, which ruled out all 3.
Any new policy would go into Labour's next election manifesto, and that election could be 3 years away.
There's also no guarantee Brussels would give Britain whatever deal it asks for.
Britain spent 4 years getting out of the EU, and might now spend the next 3 debating how to get back in.

Russian team reinvents drone engine — and cuts costs by 25%
The approach is straightforward — swap out some metal components for high-temperature polymer composites, then add homegrown electronic fuel injection.
🔸 Hybrid construction uses injection molding and printing for less-loaded parts, while highly loaded components remain metal
🔸 Developers say the engine's cost share can drop from 30–40% to under 15%, potentially cutting total UAV production costs by ~15–25%
🔸 The electronic fuel injection system integrates with the flight controller, saving 10–40% fuel depending on mode
If the claimed cost and reliability gains hold at scale, cheaper, lighter powerplants could mean more payload, longer range — and far wider adoption.
Manchester City have been found guilty on all 115 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇶🇦 SURPRISE! The U.S., and Iran made little progress this week during Qatari mediation, with both sides consistently contradicting each other.
Sources say the deadlock raises the chance of renewed fighting; U.S. officials think Trump may resume major combat after the midterms.
Qatar’s Ali al-Thawadi met Iran’s Abbas Araghchi in New York to discuss a two-page plan on the U.S. blockade and nuclear concessions, then met with Jared Kushner and briefly with JD Vance in Washington.
Morning U.S. briefings called talks “positive” and said Trump might offer sanctions relief. Hours later, Trump posted that he offered nothing.
Talks remain stuck… Iran wants a return to the June deal first.
RINSE and REPEAT!
