Після зупинення операцій з доларами США, євро та гонконзькими доларами на Московській біржі виникли проблеми з турецькою лірою, повідомили російські брокери Найбільший небанківський брокер країни-окупанта, оголосив, що тимчасово зупинив для своїх клієнтів операції з лірами на біржовому ринку. Представник компанії пояснив, що це рішення пов’язане з американськими санкціями проти Національного клірингового центру — ключової розрахункової “дочки” біржі, відповідальної за реєстрацію всіх угод. Через санкції збільшився час введення та виведення валюти, а також розрахунків в угодах з лірою. В російській інвестиційній компанії Фінамі також підтвердили проблеми з лірами, торги якими біржа веде з 2018 року. Керівник управління розвитку клієнтського сервісу компаніїmore

Харківських бандюків «залютинських» арештували на Лазурному узбережжі Франції

On

Угруповання спеціалізувалося на викраденні авто та майнових злочинах на території Лазурного узбережжя Франції. В Україні ж банда до повномасштабного вторгнення “віджимала” бізнес у мешканців Харківської області. Для затримання учасників злочинної групи працівники Департаменту стратегічних розслідувань, Головного слідчого Управління Нацполіції та Французької Жандармерії провели спільні заходи на території обох країн. Лідер та учасники злочинної організації затримані. Після лютого 2022 року учасники злочинної організації “залютинські” переорієнтували свою діяльність за межі країни. До цього сфера їхнього злочинного впливу поширювалася на територію Харківської області – погрозами та насильством вони змушувати осіб переписувати майно або свої частки в бізнесі на криміналітет.

Republicans focus on Harris as talk of replacing Biden intensifies

On

NEW YORK — For years it’s been a Republican scare tactic. A vote to reelect President Joe Biden, the GOP often charges, is really a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. It’s an attack line sometimes tinged with racist and misogynist undertones and often macabre imagery. But after Biden’s dismal performance at last week’s presidential debate, which has sparked Democratic calls for him to step aside, what was once dismissed as a far-right conspiracy — Harris replacing Biden — could now have a chance of coming to pass. And Republicans, including Donald Trump, are ramping up their attacks. Trump and hismore

Trump denies knowledge of Project 2025, allies’ plan to transform US government

On

miami — Donald Trump distanced himself Friday from Project 2025, a massive, proposed overhaul of the federal government drafted by longtime allies and former officials in his administration — days after the head of the think tank responsible for the program suggested there would be a second American Revolution.   “I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump posted on his social media website. “I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but Imore

Texas lawmaker is first Democrat to publicly call for Biden to step down as party’s nominee

On

washington — A House Democratic lawmaker has become the first in the party to publicly call for President Joe Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee for president, citing Biden’s debate performance failing to “effectively defend his many accomplishments.” Representative Lloyd Doggett of Texas said in a statement Tuesday that Biden should “make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw.” “My decision to make these strong reservations public is not done lightly nor does it in any way diminish my respect for all that President Biden has achieved,” Doggett said. “Recognizing that, unlike Trump, President Biden’s first commitment has alwaysmore

Biden appeals to donors concerned about debate performance

On

NEW YORK — U.S. President Joe Biden is looking to recapture his mojo and reassure donors at a Saturday fundraiser that he is fully up to the challenge of beating Donald Trump. The 81-year-old’s troubling performance at the first presidential debate Thursday rattled many Democrats, who see Trump after the January 6, 2021, insurrection as an existential threat to U.S. democracy. Biden’s meandering answers and struggles to respond to Trump prompted The New York Times editorial board to declare Friday that he should exit the race and that staying in would be a “reckless gamble.” Biden and his wife, Jill, plannedmore

Democracy advocates worry Jan. 6 Capitol riot is being forgotten

On

WASHINGTON — In the first presidential debate, Republican Donald Trump skimmed over the January 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol, shifted blame for the violent mob siege and declined repeatedly to state unequivocally that he will accept the results of this year’s White House election. And President Joe Biden, who has said the work of his presidency is to restore the soul of the nation, flubbed and floundered, failing to forcefully confront, contradict and hold Trump, the indicted former president, accountable for the attack on the election — and democracy. It is an extraordinary moment, or lack of one, that ismore

Biden-Trump debate draws 48M TV viewers

On

new york — Roughly 48 million TV viewers tuned in to watch Thursday’s U.S. presidential debate between Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump, according to preliminary Nielsen data. The number suggests the final audience will be about one-third less than the 73 million people who watched the candidates’ first face-off in 2020, and among the three lowest-rated first presidential debates since 1976. The relatively low number compared with past debates in recent election cycles could be indicative of low voter enthusiasm for both candidates. It does not capture the full extent of online viewing, which has grown inmore
