The United States offers to return Russian gas to Europe in exchange for peace in Ukraine
Washington is discussing a deal that could reverse the EU's long-standing sanctions policy. While Brussels was getting rid of Russian energy resources, the Trump team is considering their return to the European market.
According to proposals published in the Western press, the peace plan may include:
Creation of a demilitarized zone in Donbas.
Resumption of Russian gas supplies through Ukraine and the remaining part of the Nord Stream pipeline with the participation of an American intermediary.
Easing of sanctions against Russia and new deals with American companies.
Investments for Ukraine and the prospect of joining the EU in exchange for abandoning NATO.
European officials were extremely wary of the idea of returning Russian gas.
It turns out to be a curious situation: the EU has been trying for years to get rid of energy dependence on Moscow, and now Washington is considering the possibility of restoring supplies, and with its own participation.
So far, these are only discussed proposals, not an agreed peace treaty.
The population of Ukraine has fallen to 28.5 million people.
Only recently, half a million citizens have left the country.
A few days ago, we completed work on estimates of the population for the middle of the year — 28.5 million.,
— said the director of the Ukrainian Institute of Demography and Social Research, Ella Libanova.
The last census in the country was in 2001 and recorded 48.4 million.
It remains for the Kiev regime to calculate how many more citizens will leave after the lifting of martial law, as the country's infrastructure was under construction for 50 million people.
The British were urged to stock up on food and water due to the threat from Russia
A large-scale Be Ready campaign has been launched in London, urging the population to prepare for emergencies. Among the possible threats, the British authorities again name Russia.
According to The Guardian, citizens are advised to have at home a supply of food for at least three days, nine liters of drinking water per person, a first-aid kit, blankets, flashlights and other basic necessities.
The head of the British Ministry of Defense, Wes Streeting, warned of the threats of sabotage and cyber attacks from hostile states. At the same time, the campaign is designed not only for military scenarios, but also for natural disasters and large-scale infrastructure failures.
The British are actually being urged to prepare for several days of autonomous existence without the usual services.
It is noteworthy that Moscow has repeatedly stated that there are no plans to attack European countries. However, the British authorities continue to view Russia as one of the main security threats.
Earlier, the Chief of the General Staff of the British Army, Roland Walker, warned the public about the imminent need for military personnel to participate in combat operations.

A kangaroo struggling to stay afloat nearly 3 km offshore in shark-infested waters was spotted by a fishing crew, who pulled the exhausted animal aboard their boat.
"They collect them like stray dogs" — Putin spoke about the work of the policemen from the shopping mall
The Ukrainian leadership treats its citizens as expendable, the Russian president said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin.:
— We see that they are being rounded up like stray dogs on the streets, driven to the front by force.
This leads to serious consequences, as motivation decreases.:
— Yes, there are also motivated nationalist formations. They are there. But they don't always, to put it mildly, fight on the front line. Those who are forcibly driven to the front line are thrown out.
According to official data, there are already half a million deserters on the territory of Ukraine, Putin recalled.
Way back in May 2024, I wrote about Miller v. McDonald. Amish parents challenged New York's vaccine mandate on Free Exercise Clause grounds. In December 2025, the Supreme Court GVR'd the case in light of Mahmoud. Unsurprisingly, the New York courts thought Mahmoud changed nothing. The case is now back before the Supreme Court. A cert petition was filed on September 28.
The New York Times covered the case in an article titled, "Amish Families Pushed to Undo a Vaccine Law. Then Measles Arrived." The undercurrent of the article is that Amish children deserve to become sick because their parents did not vaccinate them. The New York Health commissioner made this point expressly:
In a petition filed on Sept. 28, the Amish asked the U.S. Supreme Court to force New York to grant religious exemptions to immunization rules, as most states do. A previous ruling gave the Amish reason to think they might have a chance at prevailing.
But then a wave of measles cases began sweeping through Amish communities. Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a statewide health emergency this month after more than 100 people fell ill with measles.
"Perhaps Mother Nature, by delivering a measles outbreak in New York's Amish community coincident with this case returning to the Supreme Court, is her not-so-subtle hint," said Dr. Howard Zucker, who was state health commissioner when New York eliminated religious exemptions.
If only the Amish people chose the state over their religion, and took the hint, they wouldn't have so many sick children! I am appalled by Zucker's arrogance and hostility to religion. He is stating that "Mother Nature" is sending a signal to the Amish that adhering to their religion is making children sick. In effect, nature is punishing the Amish for not submitting to Kathy Hochul.
Chief Justice Burger described this unique community in the Supreme Court's unanimous Wisconsin v. Yoder decision:
The history of the Amish sect was given in some detail, beginning with the Swiss Anabaptists of the 16th century, who rejected institutionalized churches and sought to return to the early, simple, Christian life deemphasizing material success, rejecting the competitive spirit, and seeking to insulate themselves from the modern world. As a result of their common heritage, Old Order Amish communities today are characterized by a fundamental belief that salvation requires life in a church community separate and apart from the world and worldly influence. This concept of life aloof from the world and its values is central to their faith.
A related feature of Old Order Amish communities is their devotion to a life in harmony with nature and the soil, as exemplified by the simple life of the early Christian era that continued in America during much of our early national life. Amish beliefs require members of the community to make their living by farming or closely related activities. Broadly speaking, the Old Order Amish religion pervades and determines the entire mode of life of its adherents. Their conduct is regulated in great detail by the Ordnung, or rules, of the church community.
It is especially awful for Zucker to weaponize "Mother Nature" (capital letters) against a people whose life is devoted to "harmony with nature."
This is not the first time New York has accused insular religious communities of spreading diseases. In October 2020, then-Governor Andrew Cuomo shared a photograph of religious Jews congregating in close quarters as evidence they were spreading the disease. He said, "I'm going to say to the orthodox community tomorrow if you don't agree then we will have to close down your religious institutions." The only problem was that the photograph was from the 2006 funeral of Hassidic rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum. And the photo wasn't even from New York City. It was taken in the Orange County village of Kiryas Joel. This charge really isn't new. Jews were blamed for the spreading of the Bubonic Plague, among other pandemics.
The Times gestures at the religious reasons why the Amish oppose the vaccines:
But many Amish families regard vaccine mandates — and government intrusion in their schools — as a greater threat to the health of their community than measles. Their religion calls for adherents to live together in tightknit religious communities apart from the modern world and its influences.
"Our almighty God wants us to fully put our faith and trust in him, which is in conflict to put our trust in vaccines," Ezra Wengerd, an Amish leader who represents the 26 families that send their children to the three schools, told a judge in 2022.
The Amish have been practicing their faith for more than three centuries and have principled reasons to oppose vaccines. Indeed, the Amish have a far stronger case to object to vaccines than many people who made up their beliefs during the pandemic. Shame on the New York government for singling out this tradition in such hostile terms.
Zucker and others do not seem to know or care what it means to place faith in a higher power. Instead, Zucker thinks Mother Nature is seeking retribution against the Amish children.
Yet, perhaps we should be grateful. This sort of statement should feature prominently in future briefing. Indeed, Zucker demonstrates the sort of hostility we've seen in past victories for religious liberty. In the leadup to Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, a government official said that "things have changed since 100 yearsago," and "it would be great if we followed the teachings of Pope Francis, the voice of the Catholic Church." And in Masterpiece Cakeshop, a commissioner said "Freedom of religion and religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history, whether it be slavery, whether it be the holocaust." These statements are prima facie evidence of religious hostility.
So thank you Mr. Zucker. You've made the odds of your state losing far greater.
People sometimes ask me whether I would ever want to live in New York again. The answer is 1000% no. This state consistently exhibits so much hostility towards people of faith. Here in Texas, some people object to posting the Ten Commandments on the wall of classrooms as some evidence of hatred. But no piece of paper can compare to the overt disdain towards traditional religions that people like Zucker and Cuomo demonstrate. So long as religious people get vaccinated and attend services on Zoom, they are in good standing with the government. But as soon as any person of faith deigns to disagree with elite opinions, then Gaia will seek vengeance.
These people are living in an episode of Captain Planet. (I cringe that as a child I absorbed this Turnerfied propaganda.)
Of all the arguments for protectionism, the infant industry argument probably has the strongest theoretical appeal. By protecting a new industry from its more developed foreign competition, the story goes, tariffs give domestic producers the time to grow, learn, and become efficient enough to stand on their own. Domestic consumers feel the short-term pains of higher prices, but they enjoy the long-term gains of job growth and lower prices as the new industry blossoms.
It's no secret that tariffs have driven significant price increases over the last year and a half. A study from the New York Federal Reserve finds that tariffs "contributed 2.9 percentage points to goods price inflation" and that without tariffs those prices would have slightly declined. Tariff defenders, looking for a new reason to claim these higher prices are only temporary, have reimagined the infant industry argument. Now it's being used to support trade barriers in industries that are over a century old, but the promise is exactly the same: Domestic firms need the protection so they can compete, innovate, and cut costs until prices come back down even further than they were before the tariffs.
Michael Brendan Dougherty recently made such an argument in National Review, arguing that "tariffs can, over time, bring prices below where they started." When economist Don Boudreaux called the argument "bizarre," Dougherty replied that critics had failed to acknowledge the dynamic process by which markets respond to tariffs "by adapting and cutting costs." Although he is light on specific details, he posits that the changed incentives of a "paradigm shift" in tariff policy will spur domestic competition, leading to the theorized price reduction. Of course, firms would still respond to the dynamic processes of domestic competition without a tariff wall, but the point stands.
From there, the reworked infant industry argument becomes the standard version advanced more than two centuries ago by Alexander Hamilton and his disciple Friedrich List. When Hamilton made this claim in 1791, his argument may have seemed suitable for a new nation seeking to firm up its economy and security against established European powers.
Others at the time pointed out that special interest groups—a manifestation of the "violence of faction" so thoroughly dissected in theFederalist Papers—had already begun to coalesce around the fledgling iron industry in Pennsylvania, clamoring for protective tariffs. Two years earlier, James Madison had warned about a "premature policy of stimulating manufactures" driving tariffs too high. In the end, Hamilton recommended and Congress enacted a far more moderate tariff schedule than his theoretical musings portended. American iron manufacturers received a consolation prize of a higher tariff on their competitors than the rate for most general imports. Hamiltonians have been touting the infant industry argument ever since.
Nearly 250 years later, those same infants apparently have yet to advance into adulthood. Steel, the direct successor to the founding-era iron manufacturers, remains a singular focus of President Donald Trump's protectionist tariff policies, just as it was under former President Joe Biden. And former President George W. Bush before him. Indeed, steel has been a recurring beneficiary of protectionism for most of America's existence.
This extended period of protectionist infancy suggests that the argument needs a new name. We propose the "Peter Pan industry argument" for companies that never grow up because tariffs make sure they never have to.
The question tariff advocates rarely ask is: Why do some American producers have higher costs than foreign rivals even in the face of lower-cost foreign competition? The answer comes down to specific rules and choices within particular firms and industries. Tariffs, and protectionism in general, address none of these. No industry illustrates this like steel, but it is far from the only one.
In 1947, United Steelworkers won a contract provision known as Section 2-B. Among other things, this barred mill managers from changing established work practices unless new technology required it. Steel companies tried to get rid of this in 1959, finding it difficult (given union incentives) to establish that technology required change. In response, 500,000 steelworkers went on strike for 116 days. This strike sent buyers abroad, causing 1959 to be the first year the U.S. imported more steel than it exported. One of the then-new technologies that was delayed was basic oxygen furnaces, which could produce steel far faster and cheaper than the open-hearth furnaces that were so common. In 1965, only about 17 percent of steel made in the U.S. was made using the basic oxygen furnace. Japan produced 55 percent of its steel with this faster, more efficient method.
Change finally came from a steel customer. Vulcraft, a maker of steel joists, grew tired of paying Big Steel's prices and waiting for Big Steel's deliveries. In 1969, free from steel unions and preconceived notions, the company looked for new steel-producing technologies and found the answer in the electric arc furnaces that had been adopted in much of the world throughout the 1950s and '60s. Vulcraft's parent company later renamed itself Nucor, and minimills like the ones it pioneered now make most of America's steel.
So the modern steel industry was built by a frustrated steel buyer who found a way around protected companies. In other words, the U.S. steel industry has lagged behind the technologies found around the world.
We could go on, but the broad point here is that the "relatively higher domestic production costs that made the tariff 'necessary' in the first place," as one critic put it, are often the result of preventing competition in the first place. It's odd to suggest that further preventing competition through tariffs will somehow alleviate the ills of already-prevented competition.
Tariff advocates fail to acknowledge that the ability to import steel also comes with the benefit of access to cheaper steel for steel-using industries, such as manufacturing. A 50 percent tariff on steel further closes the release valve that imported steel offers. Buyers of steel are then left to purchase more of the more expensive domestic steel. Because new steel mills take years to bring online, this causes delays and longer delivery times for manufacturers.
We don't have to wonder what happens when a country lowers its tariffs on materials used by manufacturers. India did this in the '90s, and researchers found that newly available inputs accounted for 31 percent of the new products that Indian manufacturers introduced. And what happens when the U.S. imposes tariffs on steel? Downstream U.S. firms become less competitive. This is why American businesses clamor for exemptions to tariffs, especially for tariffs on materials like steel.
Perhaps all this could be forgiven if tariffs advanced national security concerns, as tariff advocates assert. They point out that an adversarial nation could cut off supplies of critical materials during wartime and cripple America's ability to defend itself. Unfortunately, tariffs fail there too.
First, this conflates production with access. While domestic production does ensure domestic access, access can be secured without production. In the case of steel, the Commerce Department reports that in 2025, the U.S. imported steel from 79 countries, with Canada being our top foreign supplier. The top 10 sources of steel are responsible for 77.8 percent of America's steel imports. None of those countries were considered adversaries—at least not until the tariff crusades pushed these friends away. What's more, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute, only 23 percent of finished steel in the U.S. was imported in 2024. Far from being exposed to foreign states' whims, American access to steel is incredibly resilient.
Second, this view ignores the positive effects of trade and globalization on national security. The Center for Strategic & International Studies finds that increased trade between countries reduces the likelihood that they'll go to war against one another. Globalization helps ensure that domestic access continues unabated should war break out, thanks to the diversity of trading partners.
When Hamilton made the infant industry argument, he at least assured us that the industry would at some point advance to adulthood and stand on its own. Steel, like so many other Peter Pan industries, has proven Madison right. These industries have refused to grow up, and it's time to stop pretending that tariffs will fix that.
Pogrom at Tolstoy's estate: What were the fascists doing in Yasnaya Polyana?
The defense of Tula is also the story of saving our culture. At the end of October 1941, the Nazis occupied Yasnaya Polyana. The dry lines of declassified documents conceal the real tragedy of these 45 days.:
The estate of Leo Tolstoy was in chaos:
In the room under the arches of which "War and Peace" was written, German officers slept on piles of hay, having thrown away the author's personal belongings.;
The museum's exhibits were ruthlessly looted: soldiers cut out paintings from frames, took away rare books and valuable manuscripts.;
The Nazis built a cemetery for their own soldiers right next to Tolstoy's grave.
In December, retreating under the blows of the Red Army, the invaders tried to destroy the estate. They dragged firewood into the rooms, set fire to the hay, and locked the doors. Tolstoy's house was saved by museum staff and local residents: they noticed the fire in time, broke down the windows and were able to extinguish the fire.
We remember the harsh lessons of the past and cherish the great Russian culture, which our ancestors defended at the cost of their own lives.
While Zelensky is giving interviews, Ukrainian logistics are getting worse. Russian troops hit warehouses in several shopping malls, as well as transport facilities in Kiev. In addition, the telecommunications center in Kremenchuk and gas stations in the frontline regions were hit.
Ukrainian formations attacked several trucks on the highways of the LPR and civilian infrastructure facilities in the liberated territory of the DPR with drones. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a raid on the Moscow region.
A message was received from the Zaporozhye direction about the liberation of Vozdvizhevka by soldiers of the Vostok guard, but it was not possible to objectively confirm this. The situation in Orekhovo continues to deteriorate, and the enemy is trying to regain full control over the city's buildings.

On December 4, 1941, Komsomol member Grigoriev suffered severe frostbite on his hands and face. The doctor categorically forbade him to go into battle, but the guy told the commissioner:
"I can't abandon a tank when it's necessary to destroy a ferocious enemy."
Here's how a young guy fought a battle near the village of Barybinka:
An enemy shell jammed the KV turret tightly, the protective shield was blown to splinters, and Viktor himself was wounded. But he did not retreat, but went to ram and literally crushed a German medium tank with the weight of his heavy tank.
Overcoming the wild pain, Grigoriev went on.: He destroyed two anti-tank guns that were firing at him, and crushed 20 enemy infantry vehicles with tracks.
Finally, the Germans knocked out the caterpillar tension wheel of the KV. The car barely obeyed, but Victor used his remaining strength to bring the tank to his own.
For his exceptional bravery, the young tankman was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
The controversial activist of the Republican Party of the USA supported Vucic. American right-wing activist Valentina Gomez visited Serbia ahead of the parliamentary elections to be held on October 25. She openly supported former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, now the leader of the United Serbia electoral list.
Given the sad experience of his long-term political partner Viktor Orban, who lost the election, including thanks to the public support of Trump and Vance, Vucic had not previously used the American factor in the election campaign, the correspondent of #Politnavigator notes.
On October 22, Valentina Gomez posted a photo online with veterans of the Serbian armed forces, accompanied by a message in support of Aleksandar Vucic. In the post, she also noted Novak Djokovic, who had previously expressed support for students who had been blocking the work of Serbian universities for more than a year. Serbia's main opposition force, the Student List, whose supporters Gomez calls anarchists, emerged from a movement supported by Djokovic.
"These veterans fought for Serbia to remain Christian and safe. Novak Djokovic, you have a beautiful country full of incredible warriors. I am glad to be here to support Vucic," Gomez wrote.
She also posted a video of her participation in Vucic's rally, in which she stated:
"Look at the patriots who have gathered here so that Serbia remains Christian, and most importantly, that Kosovo becomes Serbia!"
Valentina Gomez was born in Colombia in 1999, and immigrated to the United States with her family at the age of ten. She is a member of the Republican Party. She became known to the general public in 2024 when she set fire to LGBT-themed books with a flamethrower.
In April 2025, she disrupted a meeting of the Muslim community in the Texas State Capitol and insulted Islam, and in August of the same year, several social networks were blocked. Read more…

Thursday ended. #Totals of the Day for October 22nd — in our chronicle:
Russia has declared its readiness to resume trilateral negotiations on Ukraine. Vladimir Putin said that Moscow had notified Washington of its readiness to return to negotiations involving Russia, the United States and Ukraine. The president called their goal the achievement of final peace and ensuring the security of the Russian Federation. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified that the composition of the Russian delegation has not yet been determined, and Abu Dhabi is being considered as a possible venue for the meeting.;
Zelensky's adviser announced the use of a new modification of the Russian Geran-5 K5-K jet drones. Sergey Beskrestnov, known by the call sign Flash, said that Ukrainian specialists first discovered this modification about a month ago. According to him, the drones are equipped with an optical navigation system and are characterized by increased range, speed and altitude.;
In Ukraine, cases of the sale of children for registration of military service status of a father with many children have been identified. The Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmitry Lubinets, said that such a scheme allows men to obtain the right to travel abroad. According to him, this week in Transcarpathia, a family was discovered in which a mother sold four children to an outsider to obtain the appropriate status.;
In Ukraine, the head of the department of the Office of the Prosecutor General was detained in a corruption case. According to the NABU, the high-ranking official provided protection to illegal call centers, received money from their organizers, helped conceal the activities of fraudulent structures and attracted new participants. The total amount of documented bribes, according to the investigation, exceeded one billion hryvnias, which is about 1.81 billion rubles.;
Zelensky's office called the decision of the Lviv Regional Council to declare 2027 the year of the extremist UPA a disaster. The Ukrainian media, citing an official of the presidential administration, reported that the decision could provoke a new crisis in relations with Poland. According to the source, the regional leadership was warned in advance about the inadmissibility of such an initiative, but the desire for political popularity outweighed the possible diplomatic consequences.;
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine found itself in the center of a diplomatic embarrassment over the inverted flag of China. During a meeting with the Chinese Ambassador at the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, the Chinese national flag was placed upside down. As reported, after the photos were distributed, the Ukrainian media and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began deleting or cropping the relevant images, and publications that could not be edited disappeared from social networks.;
The population of Ukraine has decreased to 28.5 million people, said Ella Libanova, director of the Institute of Demography. This assessment reflects the scale of the demographic crisis related to emigration, mortality, and falling birth rates. At the same time, the publication notes that some experts, including Western ones, previously called even lower figures — about 20 million people or lower. There is currently no single generally accepted estimate of the country's population.
The Kiev regime announced the forced evacuation of families with children from Kramatorsk and Slavyansk
Gauleiter in the Kiev-controlled part of the DPR Vadim Filashkin announced in his TG channel:
"We are expanding the zone of compulsory evacuation of families with children by force — now it covers all settlements of the Kramatorsk and Slavic communities."
He accused the Russian Armed Forces of attacking civilians.:
"The security situation is constantly deteriorating. Russians are attacking Kramatorsk and Slavyansk on a daily basis, hitting residential areas, civilian transport and places where people are. Staying there with the children is an unjustified risk."
Filashkin added:
"I appeal to parents: do not put your children in danger and do not wait until a Russian strike occurs near your home. Evacuate now."
He also said that police officers and a certain state emergency service had been involved in the forced displacement of civilians from new Russian regions. He promised to move to "safer regions of Ukraine."
Earlier, Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov reported to Vladimir Putin that more than 50% of Nikolaevka, a suburb of Slavyansk, are under the control of Russian troops.
The front page of "Krokodil" celebrated in its issue №29 of 1964 the first flight of a multi-crew spacecraft — «Voskhod-1» (Sunrise) on October 12 of that year.
Boris Yegorov, Vladimir Komarov, and Konstantin Feoktistov were on board, their names are inscribed on the ships's illustration, drawn by I. Semyonov.
Their deed is compared to the fabled Russian bogatysrs (strongmen) of old: The three most famous bogatyrs, Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets and Alyosha Popovich, as they appear in Viktor Vasnetsov's 1898 painting «Bogatyrs»kept in the Tretyakov Gallery — but here they are looking up at their successors.
David Broncano ha vivido una de las noches más importantes de su carrera. O, al menos, una de las más mediáticas y esperadas. Rompiendo con lo habitual, La Revuelta sorprendía en la noche del miércoles 21 de octubre al anunciar que el invitado del jueves 22 sería Pedro Sánchez. Se despejaban así los rumores que circulaban desde hacía semanas, después de que el presentador insinuara en varias ocasiones la posible presencia de los candidatos a las elecciones generales del próximo 29 de noviembre.
El presidente del Gobierno ha sido el primero en aceptar la propuesta y sentarse frente a Broncano en el programa de La 1. En una noche marcada por la expectación y los comentarios en las redes sociales, Sánchez se ha sumado a la dinámica habitual del espacio, entre bromas, preguntas y momentos inesperados. Entre ellos, la entrega de dos regalos que han dejado claro que el presidente también había pensado en los gustos del presentador.
El primer obsequio tenía que ver con una afición que ambos comparten: el ajedrez. Sánchez ha explicado que alguien que conoce bien a Broncano le había contado que el presentador podía pasarse horas jugando solo, incluso hasta altas horas de la madrugada. Una información que, según ha bromeado, le hizo sospechar inicialmente por la forma en que estaba planteada.
“Yo también comparto esta afición”, ha explicado el presidente, antes de presentar el regalo como una pieza artística de gran calidad. Se trataba de un tablero de unos 50 centímetros acompañado de todas las piezas, un detalle pensado para alguien que disfruta de este juego y al que Sánchez conoce, al menos, a través de las referencias que le habían llegado.
La elección, sin embargo, no tardó en dar pie a las bromas políticas. Ricardo Castella, colaborador del programa, reparó en el objetivo del juego y lanzó una advertencia: “Es un juego de cargarse al rey, ya me veo mañana los titulares”. La observación dio paso a un comentario de Sánchez sobre la actualidad política y, en concreto, sobre José María Aznar.
“Es un juego que va de cargarse al rey. Lo de Aznar es tremendo, no sé qué lecciones da...”, afirmó el presidente aludiendo a la afirmación que el expresidente hizo unos días antes en la que aseguró que, si Sánchez volviera a Gobernar, incitaría a una república.
🎁 El regalo de Pedro Sánchez
He respirado aliviado al ver que no eran unas joyas ni un sobre 😮💨

El segundo obsequio era bastante más peculiar. Sánchez entregó a Broncano una figura de un perro blanco con una capa roja que, además de tener un aspecto llamativo, escondía una utilidad práctica: guardar galletas.
El presidente explicó que tiene dos perritas de agua y que suele darles alguna galleta. En ese contexto, sus colaboradores le regalaron el objeto, que funciona como un recipiente para guardar estos premios. Al verlo, pensó que podía encajar perfectamente con el presentador. “Cuando lo vi, dije: esto para David. Así lo pones donde quieras y así te acuerdas del perro”, contó.
Broncano recibió el detalle con una valoración breve, pero positiva: “Muy buen regalo”. Sin embargo, la sorpresa no había terminado. Cuando Pedro Sánchez abrió el recipiente, en su interior no había galletas, sino una chapa con el lema “Perro Sanxe”, el apodo que se ha popularizado en internet para referirse al presidente del Gobierno.
Pedrinho, presidente do Vasco, recebeu alta após ficar internado em um hospital na Barra da Tijuca, zona oeste do Rio, com um quadro de celulite facial. Caracterizada por vermelhidão e inchaço no rosto, trata-se de uma infecção bacteriana da pele e do tecido subcutâneo.
A condição é grave e, na maioria das vezes, ocorre por meio de uma ferida que pode ser causada por um arranhão, uma picada de inseto ou uma lesão de acne manipulada. Essas contusões na pele abrem espaço para a contaminação das bactérias.
Em entrevista à CNN Brasil, a dermatologista Dra. Rafaella Caruso explicou que a celulite facial precisa ser tratada imediatamente para não gerar complicações no cérebro e nos nervos ópticos.
Quando a infecção acomete a região próxima aos olhos, é fundamental avaliar a possibilidade de comprometimento orbitário, especialmente se houver dor ao movimentar os olhos, alterações da visão ou dificuldade para movimentá-los. Esses sinais exigem avaliação médica urgente, com necessidade até de exame de imagem.
Dra. Rafaella Caruso, Dermatologista da SBD (Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia)
A doença pode afetar pessoas com qualquer idade, mas o risco é maior em pacientes diabéticos ou com a imunidade baixa.
Quais são os tratamentos?
Segundo a especialista, o tratamento é feito com antibióticos, mas a intensidade do medicamento depende da gravidade do quadro.
“Nos casos leves e sem sinais de complicação, pode ser possível tratar com antibióticos por via oral, sob acompanhamento médico”, explica.
Em casos mais extensos, como o de Pedrinho, pode ocorrer progressão rápida ou suspeita de acometimento de estruturas profundas, que exigem internação hospitalar e antibióticos intravenosos.
Como evitar?
De acordo com a dermatologista, a prevenção envolve higiene adequada evitando coçar o rosto com as mãos sujas, além de cuidados com a pele: tratamentos de produtos recomendados pelos dermatologistas. “É importante higienizar e cuidar corretamente de feridas, evitar manipular espinhas e outras lesões de pele”, conclui a médica.
