However, the Vkusno & tochka shop in Moscow’s Pushkin Square is serving burgers, just like it did during its golden days, according to reports from its opening. It’s no longer McDonald’s because the burger giant abandoned the Russian market in the wake of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, ending a three-decade streak that began in 1990. “It was this great symbol of the opening of the Soviet Union to the West,” says Kristy Ironside, an economic historian at McGill University who is working on a book about the fast food company’s experience in the Russian market....

Taro Kono said he would expand his effort to rid the bureaucracy of outdated tools by phasing out records and moving administrative processes online. Kono, who has already made his disdain for fax machines and Hanko personal stamps clear, said businesses were still required to use discs to complete 1,900 government-related processes, such as submitting applications and other documents. “Digital Minister declares war on floppy disks,” he said in an English-language tweet on Wednesday....

Above all there was shock. That’s the word people use again and again when they remember the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in a car crash in Paris 25 years ago this week. The woman who the world watched grow from a shy teenage kindergarten teacher to a glamorous celebrity who comforted AIDS patients and campaigned for the removal of landmines couldn’t die at 36, could she? “I think we have to remind ourselves that she was probably the best-known woman in the English-speaking world, other than perhaps Queen Elizabeth II herself,” said historian Ed Owens....

Edward Turpin allegedly attempted to stab Joan Turpin, also 90, at their home in September last year. He denies attempted murder and an alternative charge of wounding with intent.

Turpin felt he “couldn’t cope anymore” and, at around 1.30am, attacked his wife in Orpington, Kent, before turning the knife on himself, jurors were told....

Von Stefanos Petros Kommt jetzt Bewegung in die Fortsetzung des 9-Euro-Tickets? Finanzminister Christian Lindner (43, FDP) meldete sich am Mittwoch bei Twitter und versprach eine weitere Lösung.

Lindner: “Jetzt sind die Bundesländer dran.” Ist die Finanzierung klar, kann der Preis fixiert werden. Verkehrssenatorin Bettina Jarasch (53, Grüne) schlug schnell zurück: Die Bundesregierung müsse klar sagen, was ein Bruchteil der Förderung bedeute....

In that speech last week, Biden tested the message he is expected to aggressively preach to Democrats this fall. He also showed how his attacks on Trump, and the Republicans who have remained loyal to him, have become markedly more intense as November’s midterm elections approach. “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death of an extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden told a group of Democratic donors at a private home in Maryland before the rally....

Speculation about Smith’s exit from the PGA Tour began soon after he won the Open at St Andrews last month. During post-tournament media duties, the Australian refused to rule out a move to the Saudi-backed LIV program. Rory McIlroy revealed he phoned Smith days later in an attempt to inform the 29-year-old of what he would be leaving behind by accepting LIV’s riches. What happened next undoubtedly represents a blow to the PGA Tour....
