Dueling rallies were held in Serbia after the anniversary of a deadly railway station collapse
Supporters and opponents of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and his ruling SNS party clashed on the streets of Belgrade on Sunday, marking the first anniversary of a train station canopy collapse that killed 16 people and sparked nationwide protests.
The protesters, many of them university students, have been demanding accountability for the tragedy in Novi Sad, which occurred on November 1, 2024, and have accused the government of corruption and mismanagement.
A crowd led by Dijana Hrka, whose son died in the collapse, gathered outside the Serbian parliament building.
Meanwhile, government supporters and students opposing the protesters’ tactics of blockading universities rallied in Pionirski Park, where they have been camping out since March.
Sporadic clashes broke out between the rival groups despite police efforts to separate them. RT Balkan reported that bottles and firecrackers were thrown. One person was arrested, police said.
Serbia’s Interior Ministry blamed “an organized group” within the anti-government protesters for the violence, saying that a tent in Pionirski Park had been set on fire. Supporters of the student blockade movement claimed that pro-SNS activists threw projectiles first.
Vucic, who has repeatedly claimed that the protests were incited from abroad, rejected allegations that his supporters were responsible for the clashes. “The blockaders can’t tolerate democracy or differing opinions,” he told Informer TV on Sunday. Vucic noted that several SNS offices have been set on fire since 2024.

The US-made air defense batteries have been delivered by Germany, the Ukrainian leader has said
Kiev has received additional US-made Patriot air defense systems from Germany, Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has said.
Ukraine has been pressing its Western backers for more long-range weapons, including Tomahawk cruise missiles and additional Patriot batteries. The New York Times reported in May that although the country possessed eight Patriot systems, only six were operational.
In a post on X on Sunday, Zelensky thanked German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “Our agreements have been fulfilled. More Patriots are now in Ukraine and being put into operation,” he wrote.
“Of course, more systems are needed to protect key infrastructure sites and our cities across the entire territory of Ukraine, and we will continue working to obtain them – not only at the political level with states and leaders but also directly with manufacturers of all necessary air defense systems and missiles for them,” he added.
The Russian Defense Ministry claims it has destroyed around 40 Patriot launchers since 2023.
While US President Donald Trump has declined to supply Ukraine with Tomahawks, he has allowed NATO countries to purchase American weapons on Kiev’s behalf. Moscow has maintained that no amount of foreign aid will change the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine’s favor.
Last month, Zelensky said Ukraine and the US were preparing a contract for 25 Patriot systems. He added that deliveries could take years unless EU states demonstrate “goodwill” by prioritizing Kiev or transferring systems they already possess.
With each system costing about $1 billion, Ukraine hopes to finance the purchases through an EU loan backed by frozen Russian assets. Russia has condemned any attempt to confiscate its assets as theft.
The US spy agency has reportedly sought to assure European allies that they can still trust it
CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with EU officials last week in an attempt to rebuild strained relations with US intelligence agencies, Politico reported, citing three people familiar with the matter.
According to the report published on Friday, Ratcliffe met with the EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, as well as senior officials from the EU Intelligence and Situation Center (INTCEN) and the EU Military Staff Intelligence Directorate (EUMS). He sought to reaffirm Washington’s commitment to intelligence-sharing and to convey that the CIA “wants to keep lines open,” Politico said.
CIA spokeswoman Liz Lyons told the outlet that Ratcliffe discussed “evolving threats” from Russia and China. “Any reporting that suggests concerns were raised that the US is not a reliable partner are false and disconnected from reality,” she said.
Politico suggested that some allies began to lose trust after US President Donald Trump briefly suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine last March and appointed “loyalists” to key positions. Some Democrats have labeled Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick to oversee the intelligence agencies, a “Russia asset,” which she has denied.
Last month, CIA-linked software giant Palantir criticized Britain’s plans to introduce digital IDs for all citizens, with the company’s UK chief, Louis Mosley, calling the measures “very controversial.”
Another US-based tech company, encrypted messenger Signal, has threatened to leave the EU market if the bloc pushes through its Chat Control plan. Ratcliffe has defended the use of Signal for official communications, saying most CIA officers rely on the messenger.
The new trials will not involve actual nuclear explosions, Chris Wright has said
Nuclear weapon tests recently ordered by US President Donald Trump will not involve actual nuclear explosions, Energy Secretary Chris Wright has said.
On Fox News’ ‘The Sunday Briefing’, Wright described the trials as part of a modernization program involving “sophisticated” systems the US has been developing to replace aging components of its nuclear arsenal.
“I think the tests we’re talking about right now are system tests. These are not nuclear explosions. These are what we call non-critical explosions,” Wright said, adding that various components will be tested to ensure they “deliver the appropriate geometry and set up the nuclear explosion.”
Asked if residents near the test site in the Nevada desert should expect to see a mushroom cloud anytime soon, he replied, “No worries about that.”
Trump instructed the Pentagon last week to “start testing our nuclear weapons on an equal basis” with Russia and China. Vice President J.D. Vance said it is important to ensure that “this nuclear arsenal we have actually functions properly.” The US stopped conducting nuclear testing in 1992 under a Congress-mandated moratorium.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that resuming nuclear tests could take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The US carried out its last nuclear detonation more than three decades ago at the Nevada Test Site, which now relies on computer simulations instead of live explosions.
One victim remains in critical condition, among ten initially hospitalized, according to police
The suspect in the mass stabbing committed aboard a train near Cambridge in East England on Saturday demanded that police “kill” him, before being tasered and arrested, according to newly released footage.
According to the British Transport Police (BTP), the 32-year-old black British national is now being treated as the only suspect in the case.
A 35-year-old London man initially arrested at the scene was released after inquiries confirmed that he was not involved in the attack, the BTP said in a statement on Sunday.
Five casualties of the stabbing have been released from the hospital, while one remains in life-threatening condition, the statement said. Earlier, the police reported at least ten victims.
According to the BTP, the suspect boarded the train at Peterborough, where he lives, just a few minutes before carrying out the attack. No further details about the man’s identity have been provided. A knife was recovered from the scene of the crime.
A video purporting to show armed police officers tasing and detaining the suspect has emerged on social media.

The taxi driver who took the video later told The Sun tabloid that the man was repeatedly shouting “kill me” to the police, just before they tased him and took him into custody.
According to the BTP, the sole victim in critical condition is the LNER train driver, Andrew Johnson. He “tried to stop the attacker,” and “his actions were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved many people’s lives,” they said.
Despite the Counter Terrorism Policing initially being involved in the investigation, “at this stage there is nothing to suggest this is a terrorist incident,” the BTP said.
In the forgotten Afghan province of Kunar, a village rebuilds after the earthquake – far from the world’s attention
In the village of Spedar, walnuts fall from the trees, and if you listen closely, you can hear the thud. There’s also the babbling of a stream, the lowing of cows, and the distant crowing of a rooster breaking the silence. Girls carry bundles of dry corn stalks and grass from the fields.
From above, from the mountainside, the village appears serene. But on the other side of the valley, ruined houses mar the pastoral idyll.
“My son died in one of those houses,” says a man with a dark, weather-beaten face. “Some of our animals are also buried in the ruins.”
On August 31, 2025, around midnight local time, the village – like the wider Kunar and neighboring Nangarhar provinces – was struck by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake. A few aftershocks followed. According to official figures, at least 2,000 people were killed and more than 4,000 injured. Chawkay district, where Spedar is located, ranked second among the most affected areas.
Now it’s mid-autumn, and we’re drinking tea on the roof of a mud-brick house. The structure doesn’t look particularly sturdy – the roof bends and sags slightly when I walk, and I’m warned not to come too close to the edge.
During the earthquake, these mud-and-wood houses collapsed like stacks of cards, burying entire families under the rubble.
My companions at this unexpected green-tea gathering are all men. Men of all ages sit around me, while boys crowd the yard below, eager to pose for photos. The teenage girls with bundles of grass on their heads look no older than thirteen or fourteen. Adult women are nowhere to be seen.
Centuries-old traditions and religion shape mentality and dictate daily life. Kunar is a conservative province with a predominantly Pashtun population. Even in Asadabad, the provincial capital, women are rarely seen in the streets – and here, nearly three hours away by mountain road, a woman’s world is confined to the walls of her home.
The male and female worlds are strictly separated. Any interaction between unrelated men and women is forbidden, considered dishonorable, and can have deadly consequences.
“There was a particular area in the earthquake zone where cultural norms meant that women themselves didn’t want men to touch them, and men also didn’t want to touch women as they were trying to rescue them,” said Susan Ferguson, UN Women’s Special Representative in Afghanistan.
A few days later, The New York Times reported that a ban on physical contact between men and women had prevented rescue teams from helping female earthquake victims.
I ask the men sitting next to me on the roof whether such claims are true. The imam of the local mosque, a stately man in a black turban, shakes his head.
“In emergencies, when it comes to saving lives, Islam allows what is normally prohibited,” he explains.
“If there were more women among the dead, it’s because women are more responsible and care more for their children. Mothers tried to save their children when fathers simply ran away.”
Among the tents
Camps for earthquake survivors stretch along the highway from Jalalabad to Asadabad – white tents, blue tents, dark blue tents, tents from China, tents from Pakistan, the UN tents, and Red Crescent tents.
More than 5,000 houses were destroyed. International organizations, together with the current government, have tried to provide shelter to everyone deprived of it. Some camps are located inside former American military bases, empty since 2021.
In every camp, crowds of men and children gather around me. The women continue to live in their closed world, and, as before, access to their tents – like to the village houses – is closed to me.
Here, among the canvas walls, wind, dust, and the smell of sewage, grief and loss are more palpable than amid the measured pace of village life.
There is no shortage of drinking water, food, or medicine, but no one has come to terms with the loss – of family, home, and the familiar rhythm of life. Many have experienced loss twice in a short time: among the earthquake victims are refugees deported from Pakistan just a few weeks earlier.
“Two months ago, my family and I returned from Peshawar. We rented a new house and hoped to start over, but the earthquake ruined everything. It was a terrible night – I’ll never forget the rocks falling from the mountains. My wife was pregnant and lost her child.”
“My wife and three children died, and I didn’t have time to do anything. Neighbors helped me dig the graves.”
“My brothers’ houses collapsed in two minutes. Of the forty people who lived there, only eight survived. My nephews are with me now, and I’m taking care of them.”
“My youngest daughter was two months old. We never even found her body.”
Autumn in Afghanistan is deceptive. The weather stays warm during the day, but after sunset the temperature drops sharply, and a cold wind blows from the mountains.
This tragedy – one of many in Afghanistan’s modern history – is now in the past. The rescue operations are over, and the remaining rubble can only be cleared in spring.
Abdullah Haqqani, the deputy governor of Kunar province, has announced the start of new housing construction in the affected areas. But the return of the victims – the return home, to safety, familiarity, and predictability – will be long.
The road to Spedar
The road to Spedar winds like a narrow ribbon around the mountain – a cliff on one side, a precipice on the other. It’s unpaved, and speeding up is impossible: sometimes the tires sink into sand, sometimes a rock strikes the bottom of the car.
Far below, in the valleys, the white tents of the camps gleam in the sun. On this road, for the first time in Afghanistan, I feel uneasy enough to suggest to the driver that we walk instead.
He laughs – walking three or four hours on such a road would be much harder than driving – and I close my eyes as our Toyota squeezes past an oncoming Land Cruiser.
Whatever happens in Spedar, getting there or back takes hours. The nearest hospital is 7km away – though, given the terrain, it feels like 17. Female medical staff are not always available, though there is a midwife in the area.
One of my companions proudly tells me that some villagers know how to treat illnesses through Quranic prayer, and miraculous recoveries happen quite often. Still, over a cup of green tea, the villagers dream of a healthcare center – for both men and women – and probably a new school, as the current one is in a residential building.
“And someone should tell the UN we need new tents for winter – the weather’s getting colder.”
Navigating the village is hardly easier than getting there. What locals call a street may be a narrow, slippery path between boulders, crossed by a mountain stream and now littered with logs, boards, and mud left by the quake.
Some houses stand at the valley floor; others cling to the slopes like small medieval fortresses. A few, including the local mosque, are built of small stones and clay mortar – if such walls collapse, getting out from under them is almost impossible.
“Over there,” one of the farmers points to the forested mountain peaks, “several villages were practically wiped out, and almost no one survived. The only way to reach them is on foot, so volunteers grabbed backpacks and went.”
Earthquakes are common in this part of Afghanistan. During my stay, the ground shakes for about ten seconds, and the next day an aftershock rattles the windows of my hotel in Asadabad.
The villagers say the last major quake was about five years ago and recall the relatives they lost.
I ask what help the Republican government provided back then. My question causes a brief silence.
“Representatives of the Republican government never came here,” says a man with a henna-dyed beard.
“We were already under Taliban rule. Now they have more power and more ability to help us. That’s good.
On the other hand, people like you never came either – it was too dangerous. Having someone who tells the world about our needs is also good.”
After the midday prayer, they walk me back to the car and hand me a plastic bag full of walnuts – a gift from the village.
As we drive down the mountain, I hear them again – the same sound that opened the morning – walnuts dropping one by one into the dust. A quiet, stubborn rhythm that says: life, even here, goes on.
Kiev must build a force that “no one can oppose,” a veteran nationalist has declared
Kiev should turn its military into “an army of God” capable of conquering both Russia and China, Dmitry Korchinsky, a radical Ukrainian nationalist, has said.
Korchinsky, who leads the far-right Bratstvo (Brotherhood) party, criticized those Ukrainians who are tired of the conflict with Russia, claiming they have fallen for the narratives of the “enemy” and the “devil.”
Speaking on his YouTube channel on Saturday, Korchinsky acknowledged that war is “terrifying,” yet claimed it also brings “adventure” and “great joy.” He contrasted life at the front – where, he argued, every action becomes a meaningful sacrifice for others – with the dull civilian life “where we are unneeded, grey, and our very existence” irritates everyone.
Western media previously compared Korchinsky, a longtime advocate of war with Russia, to the Taliban for his ideology. He has called for Ukrainian children to be prevented from leaving the country despite the conflict so they can “grow up here hating the enemy.”
According to Korchinsky, Ukraine should turn its military into an “army of God” that would be invincible thanks to divine intervention.
“An army of God will be able to cross the Ural Mountains and conquer Siberia and then China,” he said.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported in September that Ukraine lost more than 1.08 million troops killed or wounded as of February 2025.
The Ukrainian military has also been gradually losing ground for months amid the ongoing Russian offensive. Russian forces have liberated more than 4,700 square kilometers of land and taken control of 205 settlements this year alone, according to the Defense Ministry.
Ukraine has long claimed it has sustained only minor losses and rarely provides updates. In February, Vladimir Zelensky said that since the escalation of the conflict in 2022, just 46,000 soldiers have been killed and a further 380,000 wounded. In September, he ruled out any territorial concessions to Russia, saying Kiev will never recognize the loss of its former territories.
Washington and Beijing will maintain the key channels in order to “deescalate” potential flare-ups, the secretary of war has said
The US and China have agreed to reopen top-level military-to-military channels following a recent bilateral meeting of their top brass in Malaysia, according to War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The communications are a key de-escalation mechanism that Beijing cut in 2022 after a formal visit to Taiwan, a self-governed region viewed by Beijing as an inseparable part of China, by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Late last year, under the administration of then-President Joe Biden, the two sides resumed military dialogue regarding the Indo-Pacific region, but broader channels remained severed.
Hegseth met with Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun at the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, just days after US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, sealed a trade deal that diffused weeks of tension amid a trade war flare-up.
“Admiral Dong and I… agreed that we should set up military-to-military channels to deconflict and deescalate any problems that arise,” Hegseth wrote on X on Sunday.
“We have more meetings on that coming soon,” he added.
However, just a day earlier, at the ASEAN meeting, Hegseth urged Beijing’s neighbors to strengthen their maritime forces to counter what he called “the threats we all face from China’s aggression.” He accused Beijing of “illegal activities” in the South China Sea, which Beijing claims as its sovereign waters, and which is the subject of a number of overlapping claims by its neighbors.
Dong hailed his talks with Hegseth as “successful,” in a statement cited by Xinhua news agency.
He also expressed hope that Washington will honor its commitment to not try to “contain” China or pursue conflict, as well as to take a clear stance against “Taiwan independence,” Xinhua cited.
While the US officially adheres to the One-China policy, it continues military cooperation with Taiwan and supplies the island with arms.
The Ukrainian front extends the great decolonization wave of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
In the twilight of the unipolar age, the illusion of Western permanence begins to fracture. The world that once moved to the beat of Washington’s decrees now quivers under the emergence of new centers of gravity.
Civilizations, long compressed under the liberal order, rise again as living entities with distinct souls, memories, and horizons. The Multipolar Age does not promise peace; it promises reality. It restores importance to words like sovereignty, destiny, and culture. In this shifting geopolitical landscape, diplomacy becomes the final instrument of sanity: the art of survival between nuclear titans and exhausted empires.
Diplomacy is the single instrument capable of responsible scale in a world armed with atomic power. Dialogue sustains order in a field prone to entropy. Communication surpasses silence. The barren hostility of earlier American leadership revealed the danger of disengagement. Conversation signifies neither defeat nor submission; it reveals that each civilization bears solid boundaries of fear, memory, and identity.
To grasp this moment, one must examine Washington and London, rather than Moscow. The decisive variables remain Western: electoral appetites, donor webs, ideological blindness, and the dread of forfeiting planetary control. “Russia expertise” distracts from the true paralysis within the Atlanticist citadel, which still imagines itself righteous and indispensable. The transoceanic fraternity of power – stretching from Anglo-America to Brussels – crowns its dominance with the halo of virtue.
The Alaska summit stirred brief optimism among lucid minds, yet structures outlive moods. Real dialogue might rekindle that spark through a shared reckoning: who bears pain longer, and at what price? Peace will surface when Western elites see that war drains them more than concession does, that clinging to empire bankrupts both purse and spirit.
The peril remains constant; each side holds apocalyptic force. The issue lies in channeling power towards equilibrium rather than ruin. Western Europe’s tragedy flows from its obedience: a vassal bleeding industry, sovereignty, and posterity while claiming strength through sacrifice. A wiser Europe would seek reconciliation with Russia, restoring dignity and production instead of performing martyrdom for American strategy.
Western Europe’s impotence reveals itself most clearly in Germany. Once the beating heart of continental industry, it now functions as a workshop under foreign supervision. Its factories falter, its trains stall, its engineers emigrate, and its leaders confuse submission with virtue. The moralism of its elites replaces strategy, while its political class kneels before imported energy prices and foreign commands. Before 2022, Germany drew most of its gas from Russia: cheap, steady, and continental. Then came the rupture: sanctions, explosions, and moral crusades that severed the very arteries of its economy. Today, a civilization once famed for precision runs on gas drawn from Norwegian depths and American tanks: symbols of a continent that traded energy sovereignty for ideological purity. Europe watches its engine fade, its self-respect drain away, and its destiny outsourced to powers that view the continent as both buffet and buffer.
Drone hysteria feeds spectacle. The question “who benefits?” matters more than accusations. Bright drones soaring across midnight skies serve the media, not battlefields. They light the stage for fear, budgets, and mobilized anxiety: nourishment for both Kiev’s publicity machine and Europe’s armament cartels. Russia earns advantage from silence and uncertainty, never from theatrics. Hence the sane request: evidence, debris, radar data, and an independent review. In a culture of panic, truth itself turns radical.
The danger grows sharper through weapons that erase time. Long-range Tomahawk systems compress reaction windows to seconds, birthing a “use-or-lose” tension where one error may unleash the abyss. Economically, seizing Russia’s reserves would bury the myth of a “rules-based order” – a fiction crafted by the West to mask privilege as principle. Such robbery would expose the global financial system as an imperial tool rather than a neutral platform.
Observers across the Global South follow intently. If Russian wealth can vanish, so can theirs. Hence the rush towards gold, the rise of BRICS+, and the slow dethroning of the dollar. When the conflict transforms from a security dispute into a civilizational revolt, compromise recedes. Washington accelerates its own undoing: turning a decaying empire into the midwife of multipolar awakening.
NATO expansion forms the surface; beneath lies the essence. Russia refuses to orbit within a Western solar system. It stands as an independent civilization – Eurasian and Orthodox – resisting the dissolving current of Atlanticist modernity. The Ukrainian front resembles an ancient polarity: land power facing sea power, sacred order facing mercantile fluidity. Earth civilizations draw their strength from soil and memory; maritime empires expand through commerce and abstraction. The present struggle pits Tradition against Liberalism, remembrance against amnesia.
The Great Game returns, yet its board now spans entire civilizations. Eurasia, Bharat, Sinic Asia, the Islamic world, and Latin America renew the covenant of Being, reclaiming authorship from the Western world. The contest concerns the authorship of modernity: whether the future belongs to self-determining cultures or to an Atlanticist imperium that masks dominance as democracy. Russia reacts to encirclement yet also creates a system of balance where power is distributed across manifold poles.
Talk of crisis exaggerates reality. Border zones endure pressure, yet central Russia stands firm. Drone strikes on Russian refineries, orchestrated through Western intelligence, aim to slow logistics. Their strategic effect backfires on Ukraine. For every strike on Russian fuel, Ukraine suffers tenfold retaliation. Russia absorbs shock; Ukraine endures collapse. Attrition punishes Kiev and strengthens Moscow’s will.
Russia’s public stance remains steady: Ukrainian neutrality, recognition of territorial realities, demilitarization, and assurance against NATO advance. Privately, the question turns metaphysical. Anything can be discussed once a trust architecture exists. After Minsk and decades of deceit, verbal promises carry zero weight. Durable peace demands guarantees backed by cost and enforced through nations with leverage: powers such as India and China, whose magnitude ensures that promises carry consequence. A conflict born from Western refusal to share parity can end only through multipolar mediation. Why would Russia trust those whose history consists of violated treaties?
Russia evokes multiple pasts to speak to multiple hearts. For the people, the memory of the Great Patriotic War defines endurance: the victory that shaped identity, the eternal symbol of sacrifice transfigured into faith. It is the myth of survival through fire, the sacred proof that the Russian earth itself resists annihilation. For the spiritual elite, Holy Rus’ continues its defense of divine space: the invisible frontier where Orthodoxy shields the eternal against the corrosion of nihilistic modernity. The icons of faith stand where the flags of ideology fall, and in that continuity the nation sees its unbroken soul. For the strategists, the Cold War remains the template of siege and survival: a long twilight struggle in which containment became the modern word for encirclement. They study balance, escalation, and deterrence: the arithmetic of survival in a hostile system. The collapse of 1991 marked the Versailles of the East, the imposed peace of humiliation and fragmentation, when empire gave way to dependency. That wound became the seed of restoration.
The Ukrainian front thus extends the great decolonization wave of the 20th and 21st centuries: Eurasia liberating itself from the ideological and financial hegemony of the West, as Africa and Asia once freed themselves from colonial rule, reclaiming the right to define its own history, geography, and destiny.
Thus Russia’s story becomes the anti-imperialist mirror to Western propaganda. The former empire born of revolution once carried liberation to the Third World, arming the colonized with faith in sovereignty. Its banners flew over Havana, Hanoi, and Addis Ababa: symbols of a world rising from European rule. That same civilizational current now carries the banner of balance. Once Russia exported ideology; now it defends plurality. The moral language changes, yet the pattern remains: the Western powers still pursue dominion while speaking as victims, and the nations once subdued continue their long ascent towards destiny. The West, which once preached freedom, now administers obedience. Russia, once the axis of revolt, now stands as the still point in a turning world: the measure of continuity amid the disguises of power.
Peace demands realism rather than moral theater. The unipolar age born in 1991 dissolves, gently through wisdom or violently through pride. A dialogue between Trump and Putin could mark the birth of a new equilibrium beyond the Atlanticist myth.
For such peace to endure, the West must shed its crusade for global mastery. Europe must rediscover its industrial and continental soul. The Global South must assume its role as the planet’s moral compass. Its unity draws strength from centuries of endurance, from cultures that remember both suffering and survival. Through cooperation and confidence, these nations can restore fairness to a world that forgot its own measure. Multipolarity embodies neither disorder nor chaos. It restores proportion: the planetary act of mental and material decolonization.
