Die konservative Gerb-Partei seines Vorgängers Bojko Borissow erreicht rund 25 Prozent. Der Wahlkampf im ärmsten Mitgliedsstaat der EU war geprägt vom Krieg in der Ukraine und der unsicheren Gasversorgung. Bulgarien ist historisch und kulturell eng mit Moskau verbunden. Der Einmarsch in die Ukraine hat das Land mit seinen 6,5 Millionen Einwohnern tief gespalten. Während Borissow versucht, die Beziehungen zur EU, zu Russland und zur Türkei nicht aufs Spiel zu setzen, hat Petkow im Wahlkampf eine klare proeuropäische Haltung eingenommen....

Darcy Sidoruk was 18 in 1982 when he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the shooting death of family friend Yvonne Doucette two years earlier in Dawson Creek. Sidoruk also admitted to shooting 19-year-old James Peet, who picked him up while hitchhiking outside Dawson Creek shortly after Douchette was killed. His 1982 sentencing hearing referred to his long antisocial and criminal past, including charges of assaulting a teacher and a toddler, theft, burglary and, at 14, being the only child to be expelled from every public school in Ft....

Apple unveiled iOS 16, the next iPhone operating system, at the annual WWDC conference this week. The tech giant has promised a host of new features for iOS 16, such as an upgrade to the lock screen and the ability to edit messages you’ve already sent in the Messages app. The new operating system will be available for the iPhone 8 and later, and will likely be released in September along with the much-rumored iPhone 14....

Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace division that developed the Ghaem 100, said the missile would be used to launch Iran’s Nahid satellite for the telecommunications ministry, state media reported. Saturday’s test is likely to alarm Washington, which fears the same long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit could also be used to launch nuclear warheads. Iran regularly denies that it has any such intention....

Alors que les manifestations anti-régime se poursuivent en Iran, l’actrice française Isabelle Adjani appelle lundi 7 novembre franceinfo voilant les femmes du monde à “l’enlever”. Un geste de solidarité avec les femmes iraniennes “qui se font massacrer pour ce geste”, explique l’actrice. “Cette lutte des femmes iraniennes me donne envie d’attendre des femmes qui portent le voile qu’elles l’enlèvent, partout dans le monde, en solidarité avec celles qui sont tuées, massacrées, en faisant ce geste”, justifie-t-elle....

Waving rainbow flags with the words “peace” and “non-violence”, members of trade unions and Catholic associations, scouts, students and a range of social activists demanded an end to the conflicts and a serious international diplomatic initiative to negotiate a solution to the conflict. “Ukrainians are dying, Russians are dying, and there’s no point to it,” said Dr. Cynthia Masini, 56. “We’re sending weapons while our sons and daughters are warm and cozy in their beds, and children there are dying....

England meet Italy here in Milan 439 days after the Euro 2020 final at Wembley brought desperation to the pitch accompanied by bitterness and backlash and with both now seeking to regain lost momentum. The bare facts suggest that England suffered the familiar fate of losing on penalties after a 1-1 draw, disappointment exacerbated by defeat on the pitch and after a 55-year wait to reach a major final. It was a day when what should have been a celebratory occasion was marred by chaotic scenes caused by widespread hooliganism, a lack of crowd control as barriers were stormed by ticketless England fans and after Marcus Rashford was racially abused, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka after missing a penalty in the process....

The committee voted unanimously to compel the former president to appear. “We need to seek the testimony under oath of the central player of January 6,” said Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican, the committee’s vice chairwoman. “We are compelled to seek answers directly from the man who set it all in motion,” he added. “And every American deserves those answers.” Trump will almost certainly fight the subpoena and refuse to testify....

The Colts shocked just about everyone with their decision to hire former center Jeff Saturday as their interim coach after firing Frank Reich on Monday, and Saturday was on that team. Saturday said at a news conference Monday night that shocked would be an “understatement” for his reaction to receiving a call from Colts owner Jim Irsay about the team’s practice. Saturday has no college or NFL coaching experience and worked as an analyst for ESPN before returning to the Colts, but Irsay said he doesn’t see that as a negative....

In addition, there are broader, polarizing debates on abortion, arms control, trans rights and immigration – issues that will dominate this year’s midterm elections. The relentless wave of crises has pushed Biden’s approval rating down to 41%, according to Gallup – lower than Donald Trump during his presidency. The White House itself is said to be in turmoil, with an outpouring of 21 black employees describing a negative work environment, while Biden is said to be “outraged” that his press team continues to issue explanatory statements after lengthy speeches....

Sein Erfolg lag ihm nicht in der Wiege. Vor 25 Jahren drehte die Regisseurin Friedolin Schönwiese mit ihm und den anderen einen kunstvollen Schwarz-Weiß-Kurzfilm: „Es geht“. Sie waren damals Kinder mit einer ungewissen Zukunft, die auf Intensivpflege angewiesen waren. Man sah den Alten mit einem Tonbandgerät spielen, Hagleitner unterhielt sich mit seiner Mutter, sie half ihm beim Sprechen. mitten im Leben Sie sind jetzt in ihren 30ern und haben sich ihren Platz im Leben erkämpft....

A desperate Albanian man tried to stop a coach carrying asylum seekers from leaving the immigration center in Manston. He had discovered his relatives were being held at the site after spotting a photo of his nephew on the front page of the Metro newspaper. After traveling from Oxford this afternoon, he tried to gain access to the premises to find his family. The man, understood to be named Arben Halili, then blocked a coach as he tried to leave the site....

Die Schweizer Einwechselspieler hatten in der Schlussphase viele Möglichkeiten zum Ausgleich. Auch wenn die knappe 0:1-Niederlage der in der Nations League noch sieglosen Spanier in den letzten Spielminuten schmerzte, ging es aufgrund des Spielverlaufs in Ordnung. Die Schweiz lässt wenig zu Von der Selbstüberschätzung, die die Nati nach den Niederlagen gegen Tschechien und Portugal manchmal beschwört, war in Genf allerdings nichts zu spüren. Auch die erstaunliche Spielweise, mit der die Schweiz die Spanier im vergangenen Sommer im Viertelfinale der EM beinahe in die Knie zwang, war nicht zu sehen....
