If you look up at the sky during the night, you will see the third and last supermoon of the year.

The distance between the Moon and the Earth varies between 400,000 kilometers and 359,000 kilometers. That’s because the moon’s orbit is oval.

Russia will stop gas supplies to Austria starting Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the Austrian energy company OMV.
The announcement comes at the same time as Austria announced that the gas network is no longer dependent on Russian supplies.
European media have reported that Austria, although it still buys 80 percent of its fossil gas from Russia, has secured enough reserves and other suppliers to see it through the coming winter regardless of the Russian flow.
“We have been informed” by the Russian energy giant Gazprom that deliveries are ending, says the OMV spokesperson on Friday according to AFP.
The Ukraine war has meant that the EU has tried to cut off its energy relations with Russia, but a lot of fossil fuels are still bought in.

He believes it is organized crime.

Protesters have stormed the government building in the Russian-backed breakaway region of Abkhazia in Georgia today, Reuters reports.
The background to this is an unpopular investment agreement with Moscow that would mean Russia gaining more control in the region. The protesters worry about the consequences the agreement will have on the real estate market.
Opposition politicians also demanded that the self-proclaimed president resign.
According to the news agency, the protesters drove in a truck and smashed the metal gates surrounding the capital’s parliament. People also climbed in through the windows.
Eight people had to be taken to hospital.
Abkhazia has declared independence, but only a few states support this – including Russia. Georgia and the rest of the world see Abkhazia as Georgian territory.
One person has been injured when a wall from a truck bed fell over his foot, the police write on their website.

He was then taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment.
