The rest have been cowed into submission, fearful of doing much that could endanger their day-to-day existence. These days many who might have gone to one of his rallies have left the country. The great tragedy for Navalny’s cause though is that it falls largely on deaf ears in Russia. Navalny still manages to get his message out, on social media via his lawyers, and he remains a moral voice in Russia, calling on the Russian people not to be intimidated by the possibility of jail and to do their part, however small, to show their resistance to the war and to the Kremlin. Now both men face decades behind bars, as do so many more who have dared to stand up to the Kremlin. "The biggest gift we could give to Mr Putin and to the Kremlin would be if we all just gave up and ran away." "A Russian politician has to be in Russia, it cannot be any other way," he said. His friend, fellow oppositionist Vladimir Kara-Murza, explained it so well in an interview with Sky News before he too was imprisoned. It is the perennial question - why did he return home to the country which poisoned him, when he knew he faced certain jail time? If Vladimir Putin stays in power, Navalny will not taste freedom for a very long time to come, if he survives at all.īut Navalny knew that, and he came back to Russia anyway. His company, if he has any - and given the long spells in solitary confinement he has already had, that is not a given - will not be savoury.Īnd this is all before the next case against him comes to court, which will be on terrorism charges. Nineteen years in a special regime penal colony, a prison for the very worst offenders. Navalny predicted he would get a ‘Stalinist term’ and that is exactly what happened. "But having handed over to the Spanish, who now take over this commitment, the British team will have returned for a very welcome home for a massive job well done." "But having handed over to the Spanish, who now take over this commitment, the British team will have returned home after a massive job well done." It's an amazing team effort to get these aircraft in the air. "There have been hundreds of personnel involved in this: engineers, administrators, weaponeers, and so on. "The UK has been the lead on airpower on the eastern flank of NATO for the last four months. Things bounce around like mad in the airflow, but once you're plugged in, it fills up your aircraft with fuel very quickly, and massively extends the range of your aircraft. "They make it look easy - but trust me it's not. They'll have used either a British or NATO tanker. "What the typhoons will have done extensively is refiling.
"The NATO assets simply go up and escort them, and make sure they don't get up to mischief in international airspace. They don't use any of the traditional IFF, meaning 'identify: friend or foe?'
"These Russian aircraft fly in international airspace, but they don't talk to anybody. Our military analyst Sean Bell explains why the RAF has been intercepting the aircraft. Those aircraft include fighters, bombers and commercial aircraft. Over the past four months, 140 RAF Expeditionary Air Wing - which are largely typhoon aircraft - have intercepted 50 Russian transport aircraft. It was largest one-year jump since the agency’s record-keeping began, though still below historic highs of the 1990s.The UK Ministry of Defence has released pictures showing RAF jets intercepting Russian planes in the Baltic region. The homicide declines come after an increase in 2020 of 29%, according to FBI data. It’s not everywhere, but it’s been widespread enough that it’s not simple randomness,” he said. He maintains a crime database of murder rates in about 100 cities and has made similar findings. crime rates overall are trending downward after a historic jump during the pandemic, said Jeff Asher, a crime analyst and consultant at AH Datalytics who wasn’t involved in producing the report. While the analysis doesn’t capture the entire country, it’s another piece of evidence that U.S. Of the cities that did post crime data online, 30 included homicide numbers and 20 of those showed declines. Several of the nation’s largest cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, are represented, but researchers didn’t have immediate access to data for others, like Houston and San Diego. The report is based on crime data posed online by police departments in 37 cities of varying sizes around the country.
