Plans for a memorial and garden to remember those who died at Haut du Mont have been unveiled.
Family members of the 10 people who died and those who lost their homes in the explosion in December 2022 have been closely involved in the design and features of the garden which will be built at the site on Pier Road.
Government of Jersey Principal Architect Barry Freeman has been working with the families to incorporate their wishes into the design which will soon be submitted for planning permission.
Among the details the families and former residents suggested are the inclusion of the favourite flowers of those who died and a separate play area for young children.
The garden will feature an area where the names of those who died will be captured on seating and separate quiet places where people can sit, reflect and look at the view across St Aubin’s Bay.
Karlene McGinness, whose mother Kathy died following the explosion, is among the family members whose views have been incorporated into the design.
Speaking on behalf of her family, she said: “We’re really pleased that the plans for the memorial site are now progressing.
“Our mum’s home always had an incredibly welcoming and warm feel, which was reflective of the loving, happy, and caring person that she was. So it’s important to us that the memorial site has personal elements which can reflect the kind of person that she was. There’s clearly been a lot of thought given to making sure the design and details have a personal feel, and we’re pleased with that.
“We hope that once it’s in place, it’ll be a pleasant space where we can go to reflect, remember our mum, and reminisce with our family and her friends about all the good times.
“Our mum loved nothing more than playing with her grandchildren. It will certainly be a place we’ll go with our children to play, talk about all our lovely memories of her, and keep her memory alive.”
Architect Barry Freeman said: “This has been one of the most heartfelt and important things I have worked on in my 33-year career.
“Working so closely with those who lost loved ones and those who lost their homes has been a privilege, and we have done our best to incorporate all their requests into the final plans.
“I hope the memorial and garden will become a place for all Islanders to reflect, remember and heal, whatever they are going through. I also hope it will stand as something that will help future generations to learn lessons that may avoid other tragedies.”

On July 2, young scientists from the State University of Management presented one of the best projects of the forum “Strong Ideas for a New Time” and were invited to a strategic session on the formation of a personnel strategy at the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation.
Head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department of the State University of Management Maxim Pletnev and specialist of the Center for Scientific Research Coordination, graduate student of the State University of Management Nikita Akinshin presented the project “Creation of a flexible, practice-oriented system for training scientific personnel” at the pitch session.
The proposed initiative is aimed at reforming the training programs for scientific and pedagogical personnel in postgraduate studies by ensuring closer interaction between higher education institutions and enterprises in the real sector of the economy.
The key basis of the proposal is the creation of conditions under which this interaction will be beneficial to all participants and will ensure unprecedented growth in scientific and technological development and the importance of science, as well as the status of scientists in Russia.
Based on the successful experience of reorganizing the educational process in the training of scientific and pedagogical personnel in the postgraduate program of the State University of Management, a new approach was proposed that combines management, scientific and industrial competencies.
A special feature of the new generation educational program is the presence of a scientific supervisor with experience in organizations in the real sector of the economy, who himself completed postgraduate studies, has a candidate/doctoral degree and understands the needs of industrial enterprises.
As a result, the project of the SUM scientists entered the top 100 ideas in the direction of the “National Personnel Initiative”.
To develop the idea, the project team was invited to a strategic session on the formation of a personnel strategy at the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation.

China Travel, Easy Go! Shanghai launches all-in-one platform for intl travelers
Xinhua | July 3, 2025
Shanghai on Wednesday launched “Easy Go,” an all-in-one platform to streamline digital services for international visitors, leveraging China’s expanded visa facilitation and instant tax refunds.
The platform, developed by the Foreign Affairs Office of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, the People’s Bank of China Shanghai Head Office, along with other city departments, integrates consumption services and tourism information onto Alipay’s international version, eliminating the need for multiple app downloads and addressing previous language barriers.
Foreign users can register with one click to access 30 mini-programs across the four key areas of dining, transport, sightseeing and shopping. Core functions include food delivery, restaurant recommendations, public transit, ride-hailing, travel advice, ticket booking, luggage storage and tax refund service locations. The service operates primarily in English and offers real-time multilingual translation.
Easy Go also features a “tap for tax refund” function that links to a tax refund map of the city, and provides updated city guides and travel tips. Media and influencer videos promoting Shanghai and China are available on the platform too.
“Easy Go is a very convenient platform because it’s just all in one,” said Clarisse Le Guernic, who comes from France. “Foreign tourists coming to Shanghai, they don’t need to download many different apps, and they can do payment, translation, order food, take shared bikes just with Easy Go.”
As of June, citizens from 55 countries can utilize China’s 240-hour visa-free transit program. The country has also expanded its unilateral visa-free access program, allowing travelers from 47 countries to stay for up to 30 days.
A decision by Washington to halt some shipments of critical weapons to Ukraine prompted warnings by Kyiv on Wednesday that the move would weaken its ability to defend against intensifying airstrikes and battlefield advances.
Ukraine said it had called in the acting U.S. envoy to Kyiv to underline the importance of military aid from Washington continuing, and cautioned that any cut-off would embolden Russia in its war in Ukraine.
The Pentagon’s decision – tied to concerns that U.S. military stockpiles are too low – began in recent days and includes 30 Patriot air defence missiles, which Ukraine relies on to destroy fast-moving ballistic missiles, four people familiar with the decision said on Wednesday.
It also includes nearly 8,500 155mm artillery shells, more than 250 precision GMLRS (mobile rocket artillery) missiles and 142 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles, they said.
“The Ukrainian side emphasised that any delay or procrastination in supporting Ukraine‘s defence capabilities will only encourage the aggressor to continue the war and terror, rather than seek peace,” Ukraine‘s foreign ministry said.
The defence ministry said it had not been officially notified of any halt in U.S. shipments and was seeking clarity from its American counterparts.
A Ukrainian source familiar with the situation said the decision was a “total shock.”
Deputy White House press secretary Anna Kelly said the decision was made “to put America’s interests first” following a Department of Defense review of military support around the world.
“The strength of the United States Armed Forces remains unquestioned — just ask Iran,” she said, referring to U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities last month.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the U.S. needed to take care of its stockpiles but told Fox News that “in the short term, Ukraine cannot do without all the support it can get” when it comes to ammunition and air defence systems.
RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES
Dozens of people have been killed in recent airstrikes on Ukrainian cities and Russian forces, which control about a fifth of Ukraine, have been making gains in the east.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the top Democrat on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the decision risks Ukrainian lives, undermines Washington’s credibility and will make it harder to end the war.
“This sends a message to not just our allies, like Ukraine and our European allies, but it sends a message to our adversaries, to China, to North Korea, to Russia, that our allies can’t count on the United States,” she told WKBK radio in her home state New Hampshire.
Since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January, he has softened Washington’s position towards Russia, seeking a diplomatic solution to the war and raising doubts about future U.S. military support for Kyiv.
Trump said last week he was considering selling more Patriot air defence missiles to Ukraine after meeting President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of the Ukrainian parliament’s national security and defence committee, said the decision to halt shipments was “very unpleasant for us“.
In an email, the Pentagon said it was providing Trump with options to continue military aid to Ukraine in line with the goal of ending the war.
Elbridge Colby, undersecretary of defence for policy, said it was “rigorously examining and adapting its approach…while also preserving U.S. forces’ readiness.”
All weapons aid was briefly stopped in February, with a second, longer halt in March. Washington resumed sending the last of the aid approved under the previous administration, of Democratic President Joe Biden, but no new aid to Ukraine has been announced.
The Kremlin welcomed the news of a halt, saying the conflict would end sooner if fewer arms reached Ukraine.
Kyiv residents expressed alarm at the Pentagon’s decision.
“If we end up in a situation where there’s no air defence left, I will move (out of Kyiv), because my safety is my first concern,” said Oksana Kurochkina, a 35-year-old lawyer.
On the battlefield, a halt in precision munitions would limit the capacity of Ukrainian troops to strike Russian positions farther behind the front line, said Jack Watling, a military analyst at the Royal United Services Institute.
“In short, this decision will cost Ukrainian lives and territory,” he said.

They put it up for sale cultural heritage site, built at the beginning of the last century. This was reported Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Moscow Department of City Property.
The building is located at the address: Kanatchikovskiy proezd, building 7. The future owner of the property will have to rent a plot of land of about one thousand square meters on which the property is located.
“Entrepreneurs will be able to purchase from the city a historic non-residential building built in the early 20th century in the Donskoy District. The cultural heritage site of regional significance, the “Residential Building”, is part of the ensemble of buildings and structures of the Kanatchikovo station (1903-1908, architects A.N. Pomerantsev and P.I. Rashevsky, engineers S.D. Kareisha, A.D. Proskuryakov, P.Ya. Kamenev). The area of the two-story house is almost 340 square meters. The winner of the auction will have to carry out restoration work and adapt it for modern use, which will allow the historical site to be preserved in the future,” said Ekaterina Solovyova.
The Kanatchikovo station was built in the 1910s for the Moscow Ring Railway. The building was made in the Art Nouveau style. The object received its name in honor of a large estate owned by the merchant Kozma Kanatchikov.
Today, the architectural monument may be of interest to investors who are considering the Southern Administrative District as a place for business development. The building is located three minutes’ drive from the Third Transport Ring, next to Gagarin Square.
All information about the real estate objects put up for auction is presented on the capital’s investment portal. You can learn more about them, study the lot documentation and the rules for holding auctions in the section “Moscow Trades”.
“The capital regularly puts real estate up for auction – from small premises for coffee shops to historic mansions. Purchasing objects from the city is convenient and transparent, and most importantly, all the main stages are held online. Applications for participation in the auction for the sale of a historic building in the Donskoy district will be accepted until July 24, and the auction will take place on August 5,” added the head of the capital’s Department of Competition Policy

Immediately after killing Fernando Pereira and blowing up Greenpeace’s flagship the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour, several of the French agents went on a ski holiday in New Zealand’s South Island to celebrate.
Such was the contempt the French had for the Kiwis and the abilities of our police to pursue them. How wrong they were.
A new prologue by former prime minister Helen Clark and a preface by Greenpeace’s Bunny McDiarmid, along with an extensive postscript which bring us up to the present day, underline why the past is not dead; it’s with us right now.
Written by David Robie, editor of Asia Pacific Report, who spent 11 weeks on the final voyage of the Warrior, the book is the most remarkable piece of history I have read this year and one of those rare books that has the power to expand your mind and make your blood boil at the same time. I thought I knew a fair bit about the momentous events surrounding the attack — until I read Eyes of Fire.
Heroes of our age The book covers the history of Greenpeace action — from fighting the dumping of nuclear and other toxic waste in European waters, the Arctic and the Pacific, voyages to link besieged communities across the oceans, through to their epic struggles to halt whaling and save endangered marine colonies from predators.
The Rainbow Warrior’s very last voyage before the bombing was to evacuate the entire population of Rongelap atoll (about 320 people) in the Marshall Islands who had been exposed to US nuclear radiation for decades.
This article is the first of two in which I will explore themes that the book triggered for me.
Neither secret nor intelligent – the French secret intelligence service
Jean-Luc Kister was the DGSE (Direction-générale de la Sécurité extérieure) agent who placed the two bombs that ripped a massive hole in the hull of the Warrior on 10 July 1985. The ship quickly sank, trapping Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira inside.
Former colonel Kister was a member of a large team of elite agents sent to New Zealand. One had also infiltrated Greenpeace months before, some travelled through the country prior to the attack, drinking, rooting New Zealand women and leaving a trail of breadcrumbs that led all the way to the Palais de l’Élysée where François Mitterrand, Socialist President of France, had personally given the order to bomb the famous peace vessel.
Robie aptly calls the French mission “Blundergate”. The stupidity, howling incompetence and moronic lack of a sound strategic rationale behind the attack were only matched by the mendacity, the imperial hauteur and the racist contempt that lies at the heart of French policy in the Pacific to this very day.
Thinking the Kiwi police would be no match for their élan, their savoir-faire and their panache, some of the killers hit the ski slopes to celebrate “Mission Accompli”. Others fled to Norfolk Island aboard a yacht, the Ouvéa.
Tracked there by the New Zealand police it was only with the assistance of our friends and allies, the Australians, that the agents were able to escape. Within days they sank their yacht at sea during a rendezvous with a French nuclear submarine and were evenually able to return to France for medals and promotions.
Two of the agents, however, were not so lucky. As everyone my age will recall, Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, were nabbed after a lightning fast operation by New Zealand police.
With friends and allies like these, who needs enemies? We should recall that the French were our allies at the time. They decided, however, to stop the Rainbow Warrior from leading a flotilla of ships up to Moruroa Atoll in French Polynesia where yet another round of nuclear tests were scheduled. In other words: they bombed a peace ship to keep testing bombs.
By 1995, France had detonated 193 nuclear bombs in the South Pacific.
David Robie sees the bombing as “a desperate attempt by one of the last colonial powers in the Pacific to hang on to the vestiges of empire by blowing up a peace ship so it could continue despoiling Pacific islands for the sake of an independent nuclear force”.
The US, UK and Australia cold-shouldered New Zealand through this period and uttered not a word of condemnation against the French. Within two years we were frog-marched out of the ANZUS alliance with Australia and the US because of our ground-breaking nuclear-free legislation.
It was a blessing and the dawn of a period in which New Zealanders had an intense sense of national pride — a far cry from today when New Zealand politicians are being referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for war crimes associated with the Gaza genocide.
The French State invented the term ‘terrorism’ I studied French History at university in France and did a paper called “La France à la veille de révolution” (France on the eve of revolution). One of the chilling cultural memories is of the period from September 1793 to July 1794, which was known as La Terreur.
At the time the French state literally coined the term “terrorisme” — with the blade of the guillotine dropping on neck after neck as the state tried to consolidate power through terror. But, as Robie points out, quoting law professor Roger S. Clark, we tend to use the term today to refer almost exclusively to non-state actors.
With the US and Israel gunning down starving civilians in Gaza every day, with wave after wave of terror attacks being committed inside Iran and across the Middle East by Mossad, the CIA and MI6, we should amend this erroneous habit.
The DGSE team who attached limpet mines to the Rainbow Warrior did so as psychopathic servants of the French State. Eyes of Fire: “At the time, Prime Minister David Lange described the Rainbow Warrior attack as ‘nothing more than a sordid act of international state-backed terrorism’.”
Don’t get me wrong. I am not “anti-French”. I lived for years in France, had a French girlfriend, studied French history, language and literature. I even had friends in Wellington who worked at the French Embassy.
Curiously when I lived next to Premier House, the official residence of the prime minister, my other next door neighbour was a French agent who specialised in surveillance. Our houses backed onto Premier House. Quelle coïncidence. To his mild consternation I’d greet him with “Salut, mon espion favori.” (Hello, my favourite spy).
What I despise is French colonialism, French racism, and what the French call magouillage. I don’t know a good English word for it . . . it is a mix of shenanigans, duplicity, artful deception to achieve unscrupulous outcomes that can’t be publicly avowed. In brief: what the French attempted in Auckland in 1985.
Robie recounts in detail the lying, smokescreens and roadblocks that everyone from President Mitterrand through to junior officials put in the way of the New Zealand investigators. Mitterrand gave Prime Minister David Lange assurances that the culprits would be brought to justice. The French Embassy in Wellington claimed at the time: “In no way is France involved. The French government doesn’t deal with its opponents in such ways.”
It took years for the bombshell to explode that none other than Mitterrand himself had ordered the terrorist attack on New Zealand and Greenpeace!
We the people of the Pacific We, the people of the Pacific, owe a debt to Greenpeace and all those who were part of the Rainbow Warrior, including author David Robie. We must remember the crime and call it by its name: state terrorism.
The French attempted to escape justice, deny involvement and then welched on the terms of the agreement negotiated with the help of the United Nations secretary-general.
A great way to honour the sacrifice of those who stood up for justice, who stood for peace and a nuclear-free Pacific, and who honoured our own national identity would be to buy David Robie’s excellent book.
I’ll give the last word to former Prime Minister Helen Clark:
“This is the time for New Zealand to link with the many small and middle powers across regions who have a vision for a world characterised by solidarity and peace and which can rise to the occasion to combat the existential challenges it faces — including of nuclear weapons, climate change, and artificial intelligence. If our independent foreign policy is to mean anything in the mid-2020s, it must be based on concerted diplomacy for peace and sustainable development.”
You cannot sink a rainbow.

The digital station of Maryina Roshcha station on the Big Circle Line of the metro has had its thematic design updated. On the escalator vault, passengers will see summer symbols — a fan, a sun lounger and a glass of refreshing lemonade — and will also receive reminders from the character of the digital stations about the need to wear hats.
Thematic inscriptions and illustrations are displayed by projectors installed in 11 escalator lights.
“Digital stations are a step into the future that significantly increases the level of passenger comfort. At Maryina Roshcha, we have implemented innovative solutions that provide personalized service: digital navigation, a digital Live Communication stand with the chatbot Alexandra, as well as an improved design of turnstiles. On behalf of Sergei Sobyanin, we are creating a modern infrastructure that meets the highest requirements,” said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry
Digital images have become a new channel of communication with passengers. Mini-projectors display information contactlessly, without damaging the materials of the escalator vault. Muscovites and guests of the capital can, for example, find out about the weather in the area of the metro station in real time. You can share your opinion about the new communication technology using QR codes, which are placed on touch navigation steles and the digital stand “Live communication” in the lobby.
Previously, thematic design also appeared on the escalator vault of the digital station before the New Year and on the eve of spring.

A farmer from the Lipetsk region regularly delivers vegetables and fruits to special military operation (SVO) fighters, and also responds to requests for help from residents of border areas.
Vladimir lives with his family in the village of Putyatino. For over 16 years, he has been engaged in agriculture and brings vegetables and fruits to Moscow for sale. His faithful assistants on the farm are his wife and sister. Vladimir’s stall at the weekend fair in the Eastern Administrative District is a real kaleidoscope of gifts of nature: apples, potatoes, carrots, beets, onions and seasonal berries. He also sends all these products to soldiers and residents of border areas.
Organizational issues of sending food products are usually handled by his friend from his native village, it is from her that Vladimir learns what and when needs to be transferred. But there are other cases: when help is needed urgently, people turn to him for assistance directly.
“One day, my fellow countrymen called me because I was at a fair in Moscow at the time: I urgently needed to buy and deliver a stretcher to the border region. Without leaving my work at the counter, I managed to team up with acquaintances and friends, find transport, and by midnight the stretcher was there,” Vladimir said.
At such moments, he admits, you especially clearly understand how important any help is, even if it seems insignificant.
“For me, as a farmer and citizen, it is important not just to pass on something, but to really help, even if it costs me nothing. The most important support is that which allows you to maintain strength, health and fighting spirit. And it is not only food, sometimes it is enough for a soldier to just know that there are people ready to help,” Vladimir shared.
Products are brought to Moscow fairs from more than 40 Russian regions. According to Sergei Sobyanin, since the beginning of 2025, weekend fairs have already been visited two million Human.
Each supplier guarantees the quality and freshness of its products, and specialists State Veterinary Service of Moscow check it before sending it to the shelves. The fair pavilions are provided with all the necessary trade and refrigeration equipment. They are located near metro stations and other crowded places.

About 10 thousand Moscow large and medium-sized enterprises showed a positive financial result for the first quarter of 2025. Their total profit amounted to almost 2.9 trillion rubles. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Moscow Department of Economic Policy and Development.
Profitable organizations include companies that had a positive financial result during this period, i.e., income from their work exceeded expenses. The sample does not include state and municipal institutions, banks, as well as insurance organizations and pension funds.
“Based on the results of the first quarter of 2025, almost 10 thousand enterprises were considered profitable – this is about 70 percent of large and medium-sized companies operating in the capital. They received a profit of 2.9 trillion rubles, which is 9.5 percent more than the result of January – March 2024,” noted Maria Bagreeva.

Since the beginning of the renovation program, over 70 thousand families have moved from more than 1.2 thousand old houses to new apartments. The new buildings are located in all administrative districts of the capital. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.
“The resettlement of residents under the renovation program began in 2018, when a new building in the east of the capital in the Severnoye Izmailovo district was handed over for settlement. Today, the number of such houses exceeds 380, and over 70 thousand families have moved into new apartments. More than 12.7 thousand of them celebrated housewarming in the Eastern Administrative District, and over 12.4 thousand more in the South-East. In the west and north of the capital, 8.2 thousand families moved into new apartments with finished improved finishing,” said Vladimir Efimov.
For a more comfortable move under the renovation program, the city provides participants with movers and a car free of charge. The service can be ordered on the mos.ru portal as part of the super service “Moving under the renovation program” or from the administrators of the resettlement information centers.
“Of all the families that moved, about 75 percent — more than 53.5 thousand — used the “Moving Assistance” service. In particular, in the southeast of the capital, over 9.6 thousand families ordered movers and a car, in the east — over 9.4 thousand. In the Northern Administrative District, 7.6 thousand families left requests for the transportation of things from an old apartment to a new one,” clarified the Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy
The area around all new buildings is being improved according to the standards of the renovation program: trees and shrubs are being planted in the courtyards, flower beds are being laid out, and children’s and sports grounds are being set up.
In the capital Department of Information Technology noted that general instructions available in the super service will help you prepare for the move “Moving under the renovation program” on the mos.ru portal. With its help, you can find out how the move is organized, get information about the necessary documents for drawing up a contract, and also use links to useful services. If the parameters are configured correctly, instructions for a specific life situation will be available.
Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin reported that this year new housing was received under the renovation program more than 18 thousand Muscovites.
The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses. The Moscow mayor ordered to increase the pace of implementation of the renovation program intwice.
Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes. High rates of housing construction correspond to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.

More than 100 raised platforms will appear at the capital’s tram stops. This will make boarding and disembarking passengers more comfortable.
“This year, specialists from the city’s infrastructure complex will install more than 100 raised platforms at tram stops. They will appear on Budyonny Avenue, Sudostroitelnaya, Borisa Galushkina, Krasnokazarmennaya, Klara Tsetkin, Khalturinskaya, Kalanchevskaya, Timiryazevskaya streets and others. We will equip 94 regular platforms on islands and 13 Vienna-type platforms – with a raised section of the roadway. In addition, it is planned to install waiting pavilions made of impact-resistant glass at all tram stops,” said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement
“Today, Moscow has more than 430 elevated platforms at tram stops. They are located at the same level as the low floor of trams, which makes it easier for people with limited mobility, as well as passengers with strollers and bicycles, to board and disembark. As a result, trips become even more comfortable, safer and faster. We are developing tram infrastructure on the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin,” said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry
The elevated platforms are equipped with ramps and convenient approaches to the tram. This makes boarding and disembarking comfortable for all passengers, including people with limited mobility, people with strollers and bicycles – it is enough to take just one step to get on and off the tram. In addition, thanks to the elevated platforms, the likelihood of road accidents involving pedestrians at tram stops is reduced to a minimum.
To make the streets safer and more beautiful, specialists also bury overhead cable lines, renew the pavement of sidewalks and roadways, install new lighting poles, and carry out landscaping.

Over the past two years, specialists from the capital’s oncopsychological service have conducted more than 22,000 consultations. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
“Along with advanced medical care, we pay special attention to the psychological state of both the patient and his relatives. Internal stability and a positive attitude are an important part of the treatment process, on which, among other things, its effectiveness depends. Facing an oncological diagnosis is always stress, anxiety and worries. That is why two years ago we created the Moscow Oncopsychological Service, which today operates in all outpatient oncological care centers. During this time, specialists have conducted over 22 thousand consultations for patients and their relatives,” said Anastasia Rakova.
In addition, in June of this year, a pilot project to provide psychological support to families with children was launched at the Outpatient Oncology Care Center of the Morozov Children’s Hospital. Oncopsychologists help parents to live through difficult feelings and emotions, explain how to properly communicate with children and support them during treatment. Support for those who have encountered cancer remains one of the key priorities of Moscow’s social policy, which has been implementing its own standard of oncological care for five years now. Psychological rehabilitation begins from the moment a cancer disease is suspected. At all stages of treatment – from diagnosis to the period of remission – the service’s specialists help patients cope with their experiences, accept the situation, prepare for treatment, learn to manage anxiety and physical discomfort.
In outpatient oncology care centers, you can get a consultation with an oncopsychologist without an appointment on the day of your request. In addition, remote formats are also available. Thus, over two thousand consultations have been conducted on the online platform “Psychology for Life” in two years of the service’s operation, and over 1.4 thousand requests for psychological assistance by phone have been received through the “EMIAS. INFO” application in the five months since the launch of the new service. Oncopsychologists promptly contact those who have applied, provide emergency support and, if necessary, invite them to an in-person appointment, an online session or to the “Equal to Equal” support group.
Over 400 meetings have been held within the framework of the Peer-to-Peer support group. More than 1,600 people took part in them. In an atmosphere of trust and complete understanding, patients and their loved ones can discuss their fears and experiences not only with a professional oncopsychologist, but also with those who have already gone through a similar path and overcome the disease. Group members talk about ways to overcome the psychological difficulties they face on the path to recovery. Since December last year, you can also join such meetings online.

If it is up to the European Commission, the options open to member states when it comes to deciding not to consider the substance of an asylum request will be expanded in cases in which the person in question can receive protection in another, safe country outside the EU. The government, along with other member states, asked the commission to come up with a proposal which should ensure that fewer people end up coming to the Netherlands and that we get a grip on migration.
It is currently the case that the substance of an asylum application cannot be considered if the asylum seeker in question has a link to another safe country outside the EU. The proposal would legally allow for this also to be the case in situations in which an asylum seeker has already travelled through another safe country, or in which the EU or the Netherlands have agreements in place with a safe country for the asylum procedure to be conducted there.
As Minister van Hijum for Asylum and Migration explains: “The Netherlands argued for this in Brussels, so it’s good that the European Commission has come up with this proposal. It will establish a legal basis for not every asylum application having to be processed in the Netherlands. We’re continuing to work hard in the European context to get a grip on migration and that’s what I’m committed to going forwards.”
Changing the ‘safe third country’ concept will make it easier to decide that an asylum request is not going to be considered because there is another safe country the asylum seeker in question can go to. However, certain conditions do apply. For example, the asylum seeker must actually be able to gain access to that safe country. In addition, international law and the Asylum Procedures Directive set out criteria a country must meet in order to be considered safe. That will continue to be the case.
Moreover, the point of departure is still that anyone seeking asylum should be able to do so safely. However, if agreements exist with a third country, the asylum application will not necessarily have to be processed in the Netherlands or the European Union. In the coming period, the Netherlands is committed to completing the negotiations on this proposal, both with the other member states and the European Parliament, as soon as possible.

Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho attended the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) in Lisbon, Portugal, to promote Hong Kong’s resident-oriented “Well-being design” concepts and strategies.
On Wednesday, Ms Ho began her visit to Lisbon by meeting Secretary of State for Housing in the Ministry of Infrastructure & Housing Patrícia Goncalves Costa, to exchange views on the housing policies of the two places.
Afterwards, Ms Ho attended the IFoU held at the Pavilion of Portugal for the previous World Expo, where she explored the latest trends of housing planning, design and management, community engagement and more with scholars, industry representatives, professional bodies and students from the Mainland, Europe and the US.
In the forum’s plenary session, Ms Ho highlighted that the “Well-being design” guide launched by the Housing Bureau and the Housing Authority last year, serves as a reference for the future design of new public housing estates and the improvement works of existing estates, to create a more comfortable and vibrant living environment for the residents.
She also said that Hong Kong can give full play to the role of being a “super connector” through interactions and exchanges in different places.
The IFoU is organised in different cities each year, and this year’s edition was hosted by the University of Lisbon with the theme of Future Living.
After the forum, Ms Ho had dinner with Ambassador Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to the Portuguese Republic Zhao Bentang, and briefed him on Hong Kong’s latest housing policies and initiatives.

Hamas said on Wednesday it was studying what U.S. President Donald Trump called a “final” ceasefire proposal for Gaza but that Israel must pull out of the enclave, and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas would be eliminated.
Trump said on Tuesday Israel had agreed to the conditions needed to finalise a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas after a meeting between his representatives and Israeli officials.
In a statement, the Palestinian militant group said it was studying new ceasefire offers received from mediators Egypt and Qatar but that it aimed to reach an agreement that would ensure an end to the war and an Israeli pullout from Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the elimination of Hamas in his first public remarks since Trump’s announcement.
“There will not be a Hamas. There will not be a ‘Hamastan’. We’re not going back to that. It’s over,” Netanyahu told a meeting hosted by the Trans-Israel pipeline.
The two sides’ statements reiterated long-held positions, giving no clues as to whether or how a compromise agreement could be reached.
“I hope it would work this time, even if for two months, it would save thousands of innocent lives,” Kamal, a resident of Gaza City, said by phone.
Others questioned whether Trump’s statements would deliver long-term peace.
“We hope he is serious like he was serious during the Israeli-Iranian war when he said the war should stop, and it stopped,” said Adnan Al-Assar, a resident of Khan Younis in Gaza’s south.
There is growing public pressure on Netanyahu to reach a permanent ceasefire and end the nearly two-year-long war, a move opposed by hardline members of his right-wing ruling coalition.
At the same time, U.S. and Israeli strikes on nuclear sites in Iran and ceasefire agreed on in last month’s 12-day Israel-Iran air war have put pressure on Hamas, which is backed by Tehran.
Israeli leaders believe that, with Iran weakened, other countries in the region have an opportunity to forge ties with Israel.
‘SOME POSITIVE SIGNS’
Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Israel was “serious in our will” to reach a hostage deal and ceasefire.
“There are some positive signs. I don’t want to say more than that right now. But our goal is to begin proximity talks as soon as possible,” he said while visiting Estonia.
Of 50 hostages held by Hamas, about 20 are believed to be still alive.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid posted that his party could provide a safety net if any cabinet members opposed a deal, effectively pledging not to back a no-confidence motion in parliament that could topple the government.
At the end of May, Hamas had said it was seeking amendments to a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal. Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, said this was “totally unacceptable.”
That proposal involved a 60-day ceasefire and the release of half the hostages held by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and the remains of other Palestinians; Hamas would release the remaining hostages as part of a deal that guarantees the end of the war.
“Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War,” Trump posted on Tuesday, without specifying the conditions.
A source close to Hamas said its leaders were expected to debate the proposal and seek clarifications from mediators before giving an official response.
Gaza health authorities said Israeli gunfire and military strikes had killed at least 139 Palestinians in northern and southern areas in the past 24 hours, and the Israeli military ordered more evacuations late on Tuesday.
Among those killed was Marwan Al-Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, in an airstrike that has also killed his wife and five children, medics said.
The Israeli military said it had targeted a “key terrorist” from Hamas in the Gaza City area. It said it was reviewing reports of civilian casualties and that the military regretted any harm to “uninvolved individuals” and takes steps to minimise such harm.
Hamas fighters stormed into Israel on October 7, 2023, and killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took 251 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies.
Israel’s subsequent military assault has killed more than 57,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to the Gaza health ministry, displaced almost all the 2.3 million population and caused a humanitarian crisis.
“Thanks to this new opportunity, residents of the entire country can become virtual guests of the zoo at any time. This is especially convenient for those regions of Russia where the time difference with Moscow can be several hours. You can watch the animals’ activity in real time during the day, and in the evening, after the zoo closes, a recording of the daytime broadcast is broadcast. In addition, on zoo.mos.ru you can read interesting facts about the inhabitants of the Moscow Zoo and see photos,” said Boris Frolov, Deputy Head of the Department of Information Technology of the City of Moscow.
A replay of the daytime broadcast is now included on the broadcast pages from 22:00 to 07:30 — during the hours when the Moscow Zoo is closed to visitors. This is especially convenient in cases where it is not possible to watch the animals during the daytime due to personal matters or time zone differences.
The first online broadcasts from the enclosures of the Moscow Zoo appeared in the fall of 2024. Cameras are installed in the exhibition part. During the broadcast, you can see both the outdoor enclosures and the interior space of the pavilions, learn more about the lives of various animals.
Since the broadcasts began, the list of zoo inhabitants that can be admired has increased significantly. Today, everyone can watch representatives of the cat family, different types of bears and pandas, raccoons, honey badgers, meerkats, capybaras, llamas, vicuñas and guanacos, as well as elephants, pygmy hippopotamuses, orangutans and gorillas.

This autumn it will be 20 years since one of the most recognizable theaters in the capital moved to its permanent home at 2 Frolov Lane. Six years ago, construction began on the second stage of the building on Myasnitskaya Street, and soon it acquired its now familiar appearance, and the central entrance was located within walking distance from the Chistye Prudy metro station. Kultura Moskvy visited the theater on a tour, during which it learned the specifics of its architecture, the secret of the seats in the large hall, and the role of Anatoly Efros in the life of Alexander Kalyagin.
Anatoly Efros – 100
First of all, we head to the ship’s captain’s bridge – to the office of the artistic director of the Moscow Et Cetera Theatre, People’s Artist of the RSFSR, laureate of the USSR State Prizes Alexander Kalyagin. The film crew had to wait for an audience due to a protracted staff meeting: Monday is a hard day, everyone needs to be heard, valuable instructions given and charged up for the new work week.
Aleksandr Aleksandrovich greets you very warmly, in a homely way, offering tea and smiling softly at questions and curiosity. And there is much to look at: just sitting next to a legend of Soviet theater and cinema is already a great honor, but the office, like a museum, is full of interesting exhibits. There is a globe, and numerous books, statues, a clock, and on the walls are memorable photographs and playbills.
The enchanted gaze stops at a large black-and-white poster of the festival in memory of Anatoly Efros in St. Petersburg, which took place in April 1993. Then a question arises about the teachers and mentors of Alexander Kalyagin, among whom Anatoly Vasilyevich occupies a special place. “This is a long conversation. Because every time I talk about Efros, some kind of wave sincerely rises in me. From smiles to tears, from some visions of his performances to funerals,” the master shares. Alexander Alexandrovich dreamed of playing in the productions of the famous director and was able to realize this cherished desire in two of his performances in the early 1980s on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater: “And what a company we had in “Tartuffe”! Every actor is an entire era. And Stanislav Lyubshin, and Anastasia Vertinskaya, and Nina Gulyaeva, and Yuri Bogatyrev. Everything, everything that is needed.” In those years, another equally famous and honored master served there, whose figure also had a strong influence on the future founder of the Et Cetera theater – Oleg Efremov, an outstanding teacher and an extraordinary personality. “He was so charming, believe me, he had a magical effect on everyone,” Alexander Kalyagin recalls about him.
We talked about contemporary theatre, directorial discoveries, and the different thinking of today’s directors. And then we went to the foyer to see an exhibition dedicated to Anatoly Efros, who would have turned 100 on July 3.
After the museum exhibition, Timofey Dunayev, an actor of the theater, gave a short excursion into history: “Et Cetera was founded in 1992 by graduates of the Moscow Art Theater School, course of Alexander Alexandrovich Kalyagin. On February 2, 1993, the first performance of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s play “Uncle Vanya” was performed with Vasily Lanovoy and Vladimir Simonov in the leading roles on the stage of the Pushkin Theater. And then we moved to the space on Novy Arbat (building 11), where, in fact, we settled for several years. And the construction of this building began here, on Myasnitskaya Street.”
Alexander Kalyagin worked on each stage of construction, participated directly in the development of the project, influencing the architecture of the building, as well as its interior and exterior content. The style is based on postmodernism, but in general, eclecticism – a mixture of different trends – dominates the philosophy of the theater, its interior and exterior. According to Timofey Dunayev, the repertoire also includes completely different performances both in form and meaning – from classical works like Boris Godunov directed by Peter Stein to more modern interpretations – Duck Hunt and Mandate by Vladimir Pankov, the current artistic director of the Moscow State Theater “Lenkom Mark Zakharov”.
Classicism, baroque, rococo can be seen everywhere: in the decoration, stucco, design, including the entrance to the large hall. It amazes not only with its capacity (528 seats!), but also, first of all, with its inevitably eye-catching chairs. “They are absolutely unique,” comments Timofey Dunayev, “made at a Milan furniture factory specifically for the Et Cetera theater. There are 11 types of chairs, for which sketches were developed, reviewed, and personally approved by Alexander Alexandrovich. They imitate the types of chairs that stood in different auditoriums of famous theaters at different times: in the “Comédie Française,” “Palais Royal,” in London, Spain. Such is the mystery. That is, people enter the hall — and immediately there is a certain theatricality, a mystery.”
The mysteries don’t end there, however. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the right and left sides of the mezzanine are decorated in different styles, and the central box is offset to the right relative to the center (if you look at it from the stage). The same goes for the aisles – they’re quite unusual.
The hall itself seems to reproduce a quote from William Shakespeare’s play: “All the world’s a stage, and the women and the men all players; each with his own entrance and exit, and each playing more than one part.” In this way, Et Cetera invites the audience to play a little, to feel part of the magic that the actors, directors and technical team create for them. The effect is enhanced by the boxes, each of which is named after a certain dramatic character. “There is Tartuffe’s box from Moliere’s play of the same name. There is Mitrofanushka’s box – for us, this is “The Minor”. That is, when you buy a ticket, you do not have the right side, the third box, but, let’s say, Ariel’s box from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, ” explains Timofey Dunayev. And the central box is named after the hero of Samuel Beckett’s most famous play, whom all the other characters endlessly discuss, but he never appears. Tickets are not sold for it – it stands empty, waiting for Godot.
Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera…
Having stopped by the Efrosovsky Hall on the way and admired the spiral staircase, we set off together with Dmitry Mozgov, deputy artistic director of the Moscow Et Cetera Theatre for creative issues, to another performance space. Chamber performances and poetry evenings are held in the small hall, a laboratory is held where young directors, playwrights, actors try to find a new language, to feel out a new aesthetic. “And sometimes we have very interesting discoveries on the small stages of our theatre,” Dmitry Mozgov shares.
The Et Cetera Theatre actively participates in the cultural life of Moscow and various city events: recently one of the performances was shown in Zaryadye Park, and the May “Night at the Museum” was also celebrated brightly. Creative evenings and meetings are held here, and any viewer, while studying the intricate decoration of the building, will be able to find something interesting: a unique chandelier (and not just one), a stage that is one of the three Moscow leaders in technical capabilities, luxurious backstage areas, temporary exhibitions and high-profile premieres. Alexander Kalyagin, the heart and soul of the theatre, is invisibly present everywhere, and sometimes he appears very obviously and not only on stage: here and there you can see life-size figures of the master, with whom viewers willingly take pictures.
On the first floor, where the museum is located, you can read the words of Alexander Alexandrovich, ornately written on a rectangular plaque: “Et Cetera in Latin – and so on, and so forth, and so forth… It seems to me a wonderful name for a theater. The essence of its aspirations is to unite different schools and different artists, in a word, et cetera…” This season is coming to an end, but there will certainly be a continuation in the next one – see you at the theater!

The active summer season continues in Moscow. When the weather permits, many residents of the capital choose to relax on city sites with open-air swimming pools. During the first weeks, about 30 thousand people visited the pools at the Moscow Seasons festival sites and in parks.
Swimming pools in Moscow parks have become a point of attraction for city residents and visitors to the capital. They are suitable for both individual and family recreation. Special small pools provide the opportunity to visit with children from three years old (when accompanied by adults). Young guests can practice swimming skills in a safe environment.
Swimming pools at festival venues in residential areas are also popular. One of the main innovations of this season was the pergolas installed at the following addresses: Pererva Street, Building 52 and Klyuchevaya Street, Building 22 (not far from the Alma-Atinskaya metro station).
Pergolas are modern suspended structures created for outdoor recreation in any weather. These are integral modular systems that cover the area both from above and from the sides, thereby protecting from rain and wind and at the same time not interfering with free movement. Pergolas are joined together and do not block passages, which ensures comfort and safety even with a large flow of guests. The structures are also equipped with heating and lighting systems, which allows you to relax here even in bad weather or in the evening.
The Moscow Seasons venues and parks feature modern heated and filtered pools, which help maintain the water temperature at a comfortable level and, thanks to modern technology, guarantee its cleanliness and safety – all of which attracts both adults and children.
In addition, 19 sites are equipped with two pools at once: a large bowl with a depth of 1.4 meters and a small one with a depth of 0.6 meters. The total capacity of such complexes is up to 108 people at a time.
For the convenience of guests, a clear and flexible schedule of visits is provided, which allows you to choose a suitable time – from morning to evening, on weekdays and weekends. Every day there are four sessions: the first – from 09:00 to 10:30, the second – from 11:00 to 14:00, the third – from 14:30 to 17:30 and the fourth – from 18:00 to 21:00.
The price of the ticket at all sites already includes the use of sun loungers, umbrellas, showers, toilets, tables and storage lockers. In addition, there are bars with soft drinks and snacks.
The Moscow Seasons festival cycle continues to create new opportunities for comfortable leisure within the city. Summer outdoor pools have become an excellent alternative to recreation outside the city, especially on weekdays.
Project “Summer in Moscow”— the main event of the season. It brings together the most vibrant events of the capital. Every day, charity, cultural and sports events are held in all districts of the city, most of which are free. “Summer in Moscow” is being held for the second time, and the new season will be more eventful: new, original and colorful festivals and events will be added to the traditional ones.
