Police have found several explosive devices near the Jänschwalde power station in the eastern German state of Brandenburg, according to media reports on Tuesday.

“Evidence is being secured,” a police spokeswoman said. “Bomb disposal experts are on site.”
President Trump is disappointed with Canada.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been urged by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a close ally, to end Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
“Every day spent in war pushes humanity back, and every step taken towards peace fills humanity with new hope and enthusiasm,” Modi said on Monday.
Modi, whose country’s economy depends heavily on discounted oil from Moscow, has made several similar pleas to Putin since he launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Modi? I don’t think Putin cares.
A week ago, in a spirited, resolute and bombastic press conference, Prime Minister Mark Carney framed the tariff war with the U.S. as nothing less than the survival of Canada.
Carney was determined to “protect Canadian sovereignty,” maintain our “independence and sovereignty,” and “not compromise our sovereignty.”
“The new U.S. tariffs are designed to hurt us and divide us,” he said.
Germany’s economy has shown surprising signs of strength lately. Consumer, investor and business confidence has rebounded, factories are taking more orders and growth is the fastest since 2022.
This wasn’t on most economists’ bingo cards for 2026. Beleaguered by high energy costs, cut-throat Chinese competition and swathes of red tape, Germany is perennially called “the sick man of Europe”.
But nobody is quite sure whether the patient is set to climb out of the sick bed. If you want to figure that out, you might be better off consulting a meteorologist rather than an economist.
The Liberals swept a trio of federal byelections on Monday night, adding one more member to the ranks of their majority government and picking up a seat that had been held by the Conservatives since 2018.
The Tories posted a disappointing showing in all three races, but none more than the loss of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, where the party was relegated to a distant third-place finish.
The iconic TV series 7 Up has been slapped with a trigger warning by ITV bosses because it ‘contains outdated attitudes’.
The original episode, from 1964, followed 14 seven-year-olds talking about money, class, school and the future.
The programme returns to them every seven years, and will end this year with 70 Up.
There are moments when excessive nuance ceases to be sophistication and becomes an excuse for moral cowardice. The recent controversy at the CBC over whether journalists should describe the attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism was one of those moments. Nearly 3,000 people were murdered that morning, and civilian aircraft were deliberately hijacked and turned into weapons.
More than 100 children aged 12 or under were referred to the British government’s Forced Marriage Unit between 2021 and 2025, new Home Office figures show.
The figures include 27 children aged five or under.
Dame Jasvinder Sanghera, a campaigner who escaped a forced marriage when she was 14, described the number of very young children as “deeply disturbing.”
She warned that some children could disappear from school because they had been taken away for a forced marriage.
Toronto police say they have issued more than 1,200 tickets for vehicles parked in bike lanes and more than 300 tickets to micro-mobility device riders in a two-week educational blitz.
In a press release Monday, Toronto police announced the results of a two-week city campaign focusing on education for riders of e-scooters, e-bikes and other micro-mobility devices.
The campaign ran from Aug. 10 to Aug. 24
An urban curse.
President Donald Trump knows how to provoke and move markets. But when it comes to beef prices, he may have missed a few briefings on cattle economics.
Last week, Trump authorized an additional 300,000 metric tonnes of lean beef trimmings to enter the United States at the lower, within-quota tariff rate. Beginning September 1, the measure will permit up to 100,000 tonnes a month for 90 days. The imported trimmings will be blended with American beef to produce ground beef. The White House is encouraging suppliers to offer it at a 25% discount.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., thinks the problem Democrats had with immigration was not that they allowed millions of illegals to invade the country, but rather that Democrats’ simply failed to explain to Americans that they should be grateful for living with illegal aliens who apparently make communities safer.
During an interview with the CT Mirror, Murphy claimed that President Donald Trump was trying to solve a “fake problem” of mass migration being a threat to the American people.
Bjorn Rieder wasn’t raised in a religious home or around religious influences, and the last thing he expected was to become religious himself.
In fact, Rieder spent much of his younger life viewing faith with skepticism. He says he even studied religious philosophy at university mainly to argue against religion.
