The winter has had less precipitation than normal in Southern Europe. Northern Italy is one of the areas already affected by drought and poor access to drinking water, reports Ekot.

Earlier today, the Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, called on the United States to stop “hostile” overflights near the Russian border, according to AFP.

– We will continue to fly and operate wherever international law applies, says Austin during the press conference.

US Defense Chief Mark Milley was also present and took questions from journalists.

When asked whether the incident should be considered an act of war, as well as whether it was carried out on purpose, Milley answers:

– We know that the interception was intentional. We know that the aggressive behavior was intentional. We also know that it was very unprofessional and very unsafe. The actual contact between the Russian fighter jet and our drone, the physical contact between the two, is not certain yet, he says, adding:

– It remains to be seen.

Billy escaped at lunchtime from his enclosure in Alingsås by kicking up a rock against a fence where he then took refuge.

A 25-year-old man was shot dead and another young man was badly shot in Söderhamn last year. Now three men in their 20s have been charged with murder and attempted murder, reports say SVT News Gävleborg.

According to the indictment, two of the men must have fired the shots, but all three must have been at the crime scene.

The prosecutor believes that the shooting death must have been planned by three other men who are now charged with incitement to murder. Before the crime, they must have, among other things, test-fired weapons in a room, which can be linked to one of the suspects.

– It has great similarities to a gang murder, says prosecutor Christer Sammens, to the channel.

Another six people are charged on suspicion of involvement in the fatal shooting. Among other things, for aggravated protection of a criminal, aggravated weapons offense and being labeled as an aggravated drug offence.
