Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

Time magazine's published 'How Ukraine's dam collapse could become the country's 'Chernobyl'

When in fact Ukraine's Chernobyl is Chenobyl

Why didn't they fact check where Chernobyl ACTUALLY WAS before they published it?

It appears to me that modern day journalists as so lazy they don’t bother make sure the information they publish is truthful and/or accurate. In short, they appear to just publish anything that accrues with the world view of their owners (i.e. the richest most powerful people in the world).

The article is actually a very good article and written by a journalist from Ukraine too. It's just an editor's howler with the headline.

American media people seem to make a lot of these mistakes. For example, during the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony apparently the American commentators did not know who Sir Tim Berners-Lee was.

Seems like Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is trying to stage a coup

Some info provided by BBC News live update:

Security in Russia has been tightened following a dramatic escalation of infighting

The head of the Wagner mercenary group is being investigated by security services for inciting mutiny

Yevgeny Prigozhin claims his forces have crossed the border into Russia from Ukraine, but no evidence of this has emerged so far

Earlier, he accused the Russian military of launching a deadly missile strike on his troops on Friday

He said the "evil" in the military leadership must be stopped and vowed to "march for justice", but claimed he was not attempting a military coup

The Kremlin has denied the missile strike and demanded Prigozhin halt "illegal actions"

Vladimir Putin is aware of the situation and is receiving "constant" updates, the Kremlin says

Senior Russian generals have called on Wagner fighters to stand down, saying they are playing "into the enemy's hands"

There is video evidence of areas of Moscow being cordoned off including Kremlin & Presidential Palace & military vehicles on the streets.

The Governor of Russia's Rostov region, which borders Ukraine, has urged citizens to stay indoors.

Google News has been blocked in Russia, earlier, Russia's state-run Channel 1 interrupted regular programming to broadcast an "emergency news bulletin".

The announcement recapped earlier official statements about Prigozhin and Wagner and said that Prigozhin's video of the alleged strike was fake and that the defence ministry denied attacking Wagner.

The emergency announcement also said that FSB - Russia's domestic intelligence agency - had launched a criminal case against Prigozhin and that President Putin was being kept informed.

Update: Though not confirmed by any major media outlets footage all over social media appears to show that Wagner mercenaries have taken the Southern Military District building in the city of Rostov-on-Don

Wow Wagner gone Rogue

apparently heading towards moscow

You have to ask is Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin a better alternative to Putin.
