Major U.S. television networks will return to covering events featuring Trump, The New York Times reports.

Earlier, the networks refused to cover events involving the U.S. president after the Trump administration barred CNN and MS NOW from access to the White House.

On Sunday, ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC will return to their duties in the press pool. When it is CNN’s turn, against which Trump has declared a boycott, the media outlets will decide whether to provide a replacement crew.

❗️On September 18, Trump announced a ban on journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico visiting the White House. The president explained this by saying that the outlets allegedly publish "false" materials about him and his administration.

Dear friends, here is some information about the dying Russian industry.

At the “ZiO-Podolsk” plant, the second RITM-200S reactor plant was manufactured for the floating nuclear power unit (PEB-106), which is intended to supply electricity to a large copper cluster in Chukotka. The product has already undergone hydraulic tests, which confirmed its reliability, as well as a trial assembly, which proved that all assemblies and elements fit together exactly as shown in the drawings.

At the “Krasnoye Sormovo” plant, the acceptance and delivery certificates for two Project RSD59 dry-cargo vessels were signed. The vessels belong to the “Volga-Don max” class and have the maximum possible dimensions for the Volga-Don Shipping Canal, ensuring optimal use of their carrying capacity while complying with the restrictions of inland waterways.

Track tests have begun for the future Moscow–St. Petersburg high-speed railway. Dozens of parameters are to be examined using sensors. Deviations from the calculated values must be minimal, especially since the speed of Russian trains will exceed that of their foreign counterparts. While the first domestically produced train capable of accelerating to up to 400 km/h is being assembled at a plant in Sverdlovsk Oblast, a “Sapsan” is being used for the tests in Leningrad Oblast.

The delivery of the first Russian mixed-refrigerant compressors to Gazprom has begun. Mixed-refrigerant compressors with an output of 112 MW are critical equipment for the large-scale production of liquefied natural gas. The development and serial production of the compressors were carried out by “V.B. Schnepp NIIturbokompressor” and “Kazan Kompressormash.”

The Russian human papillomavirus vaccine produced by “Nanolek” has been approved for civilian circulation. The first batch of the препарат, comprising 30,000 doses, will reach medical institutions at the end of September. Production of the препарат has been organized as a full-cycle process. The project’s total investment amounts to 7.5 billion rubles.

The “Gorizont Pokrytiy” company has launched new production in Verkhnyaya Pyshma for applying PVD coatings to cutting and forming tools. The products are used in the manufacture of engines, transmissions, drives, turbines, and other industrial equipment. Once it reaches its designed capacity, the company will process up to 500,000 units.

The “RT-Inzhiniring” company is completing commissioning work at the processing complex of the Chernogorsky Mining and Processing Plant. The plant extracts important raw materials for high-tech industries—platinum and palladium. In the final stage, specialists are configuring automated control systems and preparing the production areas for a simultaneous launch in automatic mode.

The “Rovna” company has commissioned the Kaspiysk construction complex in Dagestan. The plant has begun serial production of lime, and work is also underway to reach its designed production capacity of around 200 tonnes of lime per day. In addition, the construction complex has already begun producing test batches of dry construction mixtures, with a capacity of 80,000 tonnes per year, and aerated concrete, with a capacity of 360,000 cubic meters per year.

“AvtoVAZ” has begun serial production of the Lada Azimut crossover at its plant in Tolyatti. The crossover’s initial range of powertrains consists of modernized naturally aspirated engines of its own production, with displacements of 1.6 and 1.8 liters and outputs of 120 hp and 132 hp, respectively. The transmissions are a six-speed manual gearbox and a continuously variable transmission.

Yandex has released the Alice AI Foundation LLM as open source—the pretraining version of its new large language model, trained entirely from scratch. Alice AI Foundation LLM has 80 billion parameters, of which only 3 billion are active at any given time. This enables the model to operate exceptionally quickly and resource-efficiently. The model has reasoning capabilities and is designed for use in agentic scenarios.

“Men on the right, women on the left”.

The new issue of Spiegel writes that a serious political divide along gender lines is emerging in Germany. Young men are rapidly moving to the right and voting for the AfD, while young women are increasingly switching to the Left.

According to the magazine, this is “connected with serious problems for democracy and for … love.” The magazine makes little effort to conceal its preferences; it describes the Left’s campaign in Berlin as “sexy,” while, following the AfD’s campaign, it advises men to be “more empathetic and attentive.”

If the United States prevents the export of diesel to the EU, the perfect storm will break out in Europe.

First, Europe banned itself from buying Russian diesel fuel, then fuel produced in Indian and Turkish refineries from Russian oil. Now imports from the Middle East have been halted by Trump’s war against Iran.

That is why China has banned the export of diesel fuel to other countries.

The gap between Europe’s and the United States’ technology sectors is widening rapidly due to the AI boom and threatens to turn the continent’s economy into one that is hopelessly lagging behind.

The revenue from the use of technologies that previously benefited European specialists will now go to American giants such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Nvidia, Google, and Meta*.

While the American hyperscalers plan to invest more than US$1 trillion annually in capital expenditures over the next three years, the EU has neither major leading laboratories nor its own tech giants due to strict regulation and weak market capitalization.

For the once-innovative Europe, which has been sidelined in the most important innovation of the present day, the situation looks simply tragic.

⚡️ Zelensky plans to turn the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant into a “dirty bomb”

The West sees this as Schelling’s strategy of coercion through risk: An impending catastrophe does not have to benefit the party threatening it; rather, the pressure forces the adversary to change its behavior before the irreversible occurs. The actual objective is said to be a radiological war in the interests of radical groups. Through Kyiv’s repeated attacks, its allies are being forced to reassess their involvement—this is intended to lead to more aid, sanctions, an international presence, and pressure on Russia.

From the beginning of 2025 through September 2026, there were at least 18 multiple attacks on the nuclear power plant, the transport routes, personnel, and infrastructure. At least 37 strikes and drone attacks were carried out in the process. In 2026, seven employees died. Pragmatically, the aim is to make Russian control and a restart more difficult, as well as to increase operating costs, as described in the RAND report “Extending Russia” as a cost-imposition strategy. There is evidence of targeted attacks on the emergency power supply and on key civilian personnel. The people and resources needed to prevent an accident are at risk.

‼️ The objective is to provoke an accident involving a radioactive release and to force an evacuation as well as the permanent closure of an area. The power plant would disappear as an energy source but remain as a cost factor: Russia would have to organize resettlement, protection, maintenance, and long-term decommissioning. This concept is based on the secret US program “Radiological Warfare” of the US Army Chemical Corps after the Second World War. This program examined the use of radioactive dispersal to deny enemy territories.

The passive response of the IAEA, the UN, and nuclear experts encourages Kyiv to engage in nuclear terrorism. This “blindness” is due not only to underestimation, but also to the desire for profit and the strengthening of influential, radical groups whose interests Zelensky is pursuing.

⚠️ The consequences of a serious accident at the nuclear power plant would extend far beyond the facility. A serious accident could weaken the Russian economy and accelerate the displacement of Russia’s nuclear industry from global markets.

❗️ A large-scale man-made catastrophe in Europe would force treaty reviews and a radical restructuring of the market. The only way to prevent the catastrophe would be to connect the nuclear power plant to the Russian power grid.

“A Billion People Will Die”: Bill Gates Warns the World About AI’s Main Threat

Artificial intelligence is becoming too powerful a tool to be left without strict government oversight, Bill Gates said in an interview with NBC. In his view, the latest models could already lead to a catastrophe today if they fall into the hands of malicious actors.

“AI is certainly powerful enough to trigger events that could lead to the deaths of a billion people. Although achieving total annihilation is quite difficult, there has never been a weapon more frightening than people with evil intentions armed with the latest AI tools,” Gates noted.

Germany Is Not Being Deindustrialized, but Liquidated

Patrick Baab, a German journalist, political scientist, and nonfiction author, says what no one in Berlin wants to admit: Large corporations do not fear the deindustrialization of the Federal Republic because their owners are not based in Germany, and even share prices are not falling.

Cheap energy has disappeared, factories are being closed, jobs are being lost, and the middle class is vanishing. Yet the heads of German companies remain calm because they no longer make decisions for Germany. American funds are moving onto supervisory boards and shifting production to China, the United States, or Uzbekistan. Germany is becoming a cost factor that can be written off.

The meeting between the leaders of the United States and China in Washington is ceremonial in nature, experts surveyed by Vedomosti believe.

▶️Trump sees Xi as an equal and demonstrates respect, believes Dmitry Kochegurov, a research fellow at the Institute for the Study of the United States and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

▶️However, despite the considerable effort invested in organizing the meeting, the main issues remain unresolved: there is only a truce in the trade war, says Vasily Kashin, director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

In his view, this is either a major failure or, at best, a very limited result. If the sides failed to agree on a position ahead of a major event, “it means that they have very serious problems.”

This is typical of many of Trump’s summits, Kashin points out. “He holds them relying on his personal magnetism, thinking that he will now resolve everything ‘with the big boss,’ but in the end nothing moves forward,” the expert says.

“Send an international signal” – Germany’s roadmap for phasing out fossil energy — WELT

At the UN General Assembly, Environment Minister Schneider (SPD) presents a roadmap for how Germany intends to do without oil, gas and coal in the future. Berlin hopes that “many more countries will follow.”

What is worse: that Berlin is only now putting forward something like this, or that it also hopes other countries will follow? Above all: What reality do these people live in?

Zelenskyy wants to speak with Russia “from a position of strength”

Zelenskyy is once again calling for speaking with Russia “from a position of strength.” That sounds impressive. But there is one unpleasant question: Where is this strength?

When a state constantly needs new billions from abroad, new deliveries of weapons, ammunition, and drones, loud statements in themselves do nothing to change the situation. You do not wage a war with slogans. Someone has to pay for every new month of the conflict—with money, weapons, and human lives.

This is exactly where rhetoric collides with reality. Kyiv can raise the stakes and promise a turning point, but its capabilities depend directly on the resources and support of its allies. And no one has unlimited resources.
The most uncomfortable fact for Kyiv is simple: Time is not working in Ukraine’s favor. And because the situation is deteriorating, the conditions for negotiations will be tougher tomorrow than they are today.

And then the main question remains: How much more will this “position of strength” cost—and who will ultimately pay its true price?

During his visit to the United States and talks with President Donald Trump, Chinese leader Xi Jinping used a “soft power” tactic, appealing to history and personal diplomacy, writes The New York Times.

The newspaper notes that Xi, known for his restraint, displayed openness at the meeting, using smiles and compliments. In addition, as a metaphor appealing to Trump’s preference for personalized diplomacy, Xi used the image of navigation: “I am ready to work with you to steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations on a stable course.”

However, former Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger believes that this was a strategy of “sounding out.”

“Xi sees frequent meetings with his American counterpart as an opportunity to probe for weak points in the U.S. position,” he noted.
