TEAM NEWS

Wales' Joe Ledley was substituted in the second half of their defeat by England after suffering from a tight calf, but he has declared himself fit.

As a result, Chris Coleman is expected to pick the same XI that started the England match.

Victory would secure Wales' spot in the knockout phase, in their first major international tournament since 1958.

Russia's Oleg Shatov is struggling with a groin problem and is doubtful to feature in Toulouse.

With Russia having underperformed thus far, coach Leonid Slutsky may be tempted to make wholesale changes.

"Whilst everybody will look at this game as the be all and end all, whether we progress or not, it's not the end of the journey for this team," Coleman said.

"Our players have done unbelievably well. It's been an eye-opener and hard, of course. It's really intense but it's been enjoyable."

The city with $248 billon beneath its pavement
Under London’s streets lies a hidden gold mine.
It stretches across more than 300,000 square feet under the City, the finance quarter in the heart of Britain’s capital. There, beneath the pavement and commuters of Threadneedle Street, lies a maze of eight Bank of England gold vaults – each stacked with gold bars worth a total sum of around £141 billion ($200 billion).

The most powerful storm to hit Fiji has made landfall on the Pacific nation's main island, Viti Levu.

Cyclone Winston brought winds of over 320 kph (200 mph), torrential rain and waves of up to 12m (40ft).

Flights have been cancelled, evacuation centres activated and a nationwide curfew put in place.

The category five storm - the highest level - is expected to move westwards over the main island overnight Saturday and into Sunday morning.

Before it landed, Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama warned that Fiji was facing "an ordeal of the most grievous kind".

Нашел интересную заметку про принца Джорджа. Да, того самого, чьего появления на всем с таким трепетом и любовью ожидала Великобритания 2 года назад.

Prince George’s Classmates And Teachers Call Him ‘George’ At Nursery School



Prince George is simply called by his first name “George” at his nursery school near his country home in Norfolk. The tot started his preschool at Westacre Montessori in Norfolk in January. He is currently in his sixth week of nursery school.

The third-in-line to the British throne is just another kid in his nursery school. The school does not give him any special treatment by virtue of him being a royal. Like all the other students of his class, George hangs his coat everyday on a peg with his name written on top.

The two-year-old royal is just called “George” among his classmates and teachers, a royal source confirmed. The name is mostly written on his coat-and-backpack peg. Little George’s teachers write it for him on his artwork, said Louise Livingston, who is director of training at the Maria Montessori Institute.

In the first few weeks, George's teachers will have spent a great deal of time going over the rules that govern Montessori learning.

Little George has settled into his nursery environment which he attends part time. In the Montessori school the kids learn to respect others and also the environment, Livingston said. She added that kids learn to say little things like "Good Morning," how to push their chair back under the table so no one else trips over it. Two-year-old George is learning things at school through play activities like how to unroll a mat for activity, where to place it so as it is not in the way of anyone else's activity and how to ask for help when needed.

Meanwhile, his mother Kate Middleton revealed during her engagement at the 75th anniversary of the RAF’s Air Training Corps on Sunday that George wants to join the air cadets like his dad, Prince William. The 34-year-old royal said that George is obsessed with airplanes and she has shown him pictures of Spitfires. Westacre Montessori training head also told that his teachers will definitely show him pictures of airplanes and teach him their names.

A teenage girl in Germany will be allowed to keep a bar of gold worth €16,000 ($18,000; £11,500) found in a lake after the owner could not be identified, police said.
The 16-year-old found the 500g (1lb) gold bar at a depth of about 2m (6.5ft) while swimming near the shore of Bavaria's Koenigssee lake last August.
She handed it into police, who were unable to find the owner.
It is still not clear how the bar ended up in the lake.
A six-month investigation could not identify the owner and, as a result, the teenager will be allowed to keep the gold. The girl has not been identified.

The bar's identity number had been defaced but officials managed to restore it, German media reported.
The find revived rumours of Nazi gold supposedly lost in the lake, near Germany's southern border with Austria, but reports said the find was not connected to the Nazi era.

France Wants Alliance With Russia, but Divisions Over Assad’s Future a Hurdle
French seek to broaden coalition fighting Islamic State after Paris attacks
PARIS—France’s plan for enlisting Russia into a “grand coalition” alongside the U.S. to combat Islamic State faces a critical stumbling block: disagreement about the future of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
French President François Hollande has long argued that Mr. Assad’s atrocities created Islamic State in the first place. He viewed it as a betrayal when President Barack Obamapulled back in 2013 from planned joint military action against the Damascus regime.
Russia, by contrast, has intervened militarily in Syria with the express goal of shoring up Mr. Assad. Moscow says that without him, the Syrian state would collapse—to the benefit of Islamist extremists.

WASHINGTON POST
A sober Snowden deems life in Russia ‘great’

MOSCOW — Edward Snowden would like everyone – especially his critics – to know that he is happy with life in Russia. Happy, and also sober.

“They talk about Russia like it’s the worst place on earth. Russia's great,” the former NSA contractor told journalist James Bamford during an interview in Moscow for the PBS program "NOVA," which released a transcript of the conversation Thursday.

During the interview, Snowden focused on a speech that former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden had given in which he predicted that Snowden would be depressed and drunk.

“It was funny because he was talking about how I was – everybody in Russia is miserable. Russia is a terrible place,” Snowden recalled, hat-tipping Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman’s coverage of the September 2013 speech. “And I’m going to end up miserable and I’m going to be a drunk and I’m never going to do anything.”

Hayden’s exact prediction during that speech was that Snowden would “end up like most of the rest of the defectors who went to the old Soviet Union: isolated, bored, lonely, depressed – and most of them ended up alcoholics.”

But even after two Russian winters, vodka’s siren song apparently has no sway over Snowden.

“I don’t drink. I’ve never been drunk in my life,” Snowden said.

Snowden has been living in Moscow for more than a year, ever since the Russian government gave him asylum after the U.S. government revoked his passport, leaving him stranded at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport.

Snowden became the subject of an international manhunt after he revealed himself as the source of highly publicized leaks detailing previously unknown U.S. surveillance programs that led to articles in The Washington Post and the British newspaper the Guardian. He is wanted in the United States on theft and espionage charges.

Snowden, who is about six months into his three-year asylum term, has apparently been settling into life in Russia rather well. His exact whereabouts haven’t been publicized, but his girlfriend moved to Russia to be with him in July, according to the recent documentary “Citizenfour."

And Snowden clearly wanted to tell a U.S. audience how much he is enjoying life in Russia, because he was not specifically asked about it during the PBS interview.

Snowden’s opinions about his new home only came up because toward the end of the interview, the producer offered him a cup of coffee.

“I actually only drink water,” Snowden said, before launching into an explanation of how Hayden wrongly predicted that he would end up drunk, sad and alone, and that nobody expected how much he would like Russia.

THE DAILY CURRANT
Russia Shoots Down Santa’s Sleigh Near North Pole

Russia shot down Santa Claus’s sleigh today in international airspace over the Arctic Ocean.
According to local reports, the sleigh was beginning its annual Christmas Eve journey around the world when it was struck by a surface-to-air missile fired from the Russian island of Novaya Zemlya - just a few hundred miles from the North Pole. Santa and nearly all of his reindeer were killed instantly.
Norwegian fisherman soon located the debris field in the frigid waters of the Arctic Ocean. Images of the debris aired on CNN and other international news networks show broken limbs, teddy bears, and gift wrapping strewn throughout the sea.
Although Russia has officially denied involvement in the incident, American intelligence forces say they have proof the missile was fired from a Russian military installation on the island. Several ultra-nationalist politicians in Moscow have praised the downing, which targeted a popular Western celebrity.
“Santa Claus is a symbol of Western decadence and consumerism,” said Alexi Onnatopp, leader of the far-right Golden Bear party,”Whoever killed this fat, corrupt man is a patriot and a hero.”
Today’s events bear striking similarities to the downing of Malaysian Flight 17, which was shot down by pro-Russian rebels in Eastern Ukraine this summer using a similar surface-to-air missile. All 285 passengers and 15 crew were killed aboard that flight travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
Remarkably one reindeer survived today’s blast and is currently being treated for his injuries at a hospital in Norway. Authorities have yet to officially release its name, but sources close to the investigation confirm that it is Rudolph -- the crimson-snouted misfit immortalized in an eponymous 1939 song.
“We were able to rescue him first because of his red nose,” says Lars Sommerhielm, an admiral in the Royal Norwegian Navy, “It stood out amongst the ocean waves. The others we couldn’t get to in time.”
In a speech from the oval office President Obama vowed an appropriate response to the tragedy, which may include tightening sanctions on an already crumbling Russian economy.
“Today Russia has gone too far,”he told reporters,“Vladimir Putin has threatened the hopes and dreams of children around the world. He will be brought to justice.”
A funeral for Mr. Claus has been set for December 28th at the North Pole. President Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande and other international dignitaries are scheduled to attend

The Guardian

The Guardian view on Russia’s economic turmoil: a good time to talk to Vladimir Putin

With the fall of the rouble, the Russian president is cornered. Creative western diplomacy must prevent him from pulling his country further into nationalism and military adventures

Financial crises of the kind now hitting Russia are not new, but they are always spectacular. They usually involve a currency in freefall, stocks knocked sideways and panicky central bankers jacking up interest rates and spending millions to shore up their currency. So far, so familiar: Russians themselves went through something very similar just over 15 years ago. The rest of the ballet normally goes like this: businesses begin pulling back their operations (as Apple has shut down its Russian online store); the central bank keeps burning through its war chest (which in Moscow’s case is huge: it’s spent $90bn so far this year, and has over $400bn spare); then there is talk of a bank run, or of the government imposing capital controls. All of this is running to the script. But were this any other country, there would be one more act to come: market participants would be counting down the days until the IMF was called in. The twist here is that it is almost impossible to imagine Vladimir Putin begging Washington to come to his aid.

One thing is for certain: the consequences of Russia’s economic rut will be felt beyond its borders. Even if Russia has long since ceased to be the Soviet superpower, it does retain both a nuclear arsenal that compares to that of the US and considerable international reach. Mr Putin has put great effort into reminding the world of this, and not only through inflammatory speeches. Military aggression against Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea this year brought Russia’s assertiveness to a spectacular climax. The Kremlin embarked on a policy that amounted to disrupting Europe’s post-cold-war order, complete with the scrambling of military jets over Nato skies.

Whether a cornered Mr Putin will become more mellow or, on the contrary, resort to still more provocations is anyone’s guess. An upcoming press conference will be scrutinised for answers. Initial indications are that the regime is gearing up public opinion to withstand economic hardships, with much exaltation of the nation’s history of resisting the onslaught of external foes. But nevertheless, it is clear that Mr Putin’s domestic narrative for the last 15 years – the strongman stepping on democratic rights in return for higher living standards – is now at risk of being shattered. The cronyism and the lack of modernisation that have characterised his rule are coming back to haunt him, as both the oil price and the rouble crash.

Some in the west will now calculate that the wounded bear should be wounded some more so that he relents. It is not hard to see the case. The September ceasefire in Ukraine exists only on paper, because there has been no Russian military withdrawal. Brash behaviour could backfire on Mr Putin. His reaction to sanctions – an embargo on European food – has only contributed to higher domestic inflation. Also, Russia can ill afford to threaten anyone with cutting off gas supplies, when it so desperately needs foreign currency revenues just now. On the Middle East, Russia would risk more than it could gain by going confrontational. After all, Mr Putin can only be satisfied with current US policies on Iraq and Syria, seeing as they don’t contradict his strategic aim of keeping Bashar al-Assad in power. Nor is there is any desire in Moscow to kill off the international talks over Iran’s nuclear programme, which are aimed at preventing proliferation.

Yet instead of hastily concluding that it would cost nothing to treat a financially weak Russia as a complete pariah, the time may have come for a burst of diplomatic creativity. The crisis in Russia provides the west with the best possible circumstances for combining smart pressure with new openings for dialogue. Pressure is important if one wants to be taken seriously by a Russian regime that has made great use of western hesitation. So there should be no lifting of sanctions as long as the conflict in Ukraine festers on. But dialogue is equally crucial.

Any talks must be open-eyed, and must not compromise on values that form the core of Europe’s architecture, as Russia tries to assert some regional influence. Reaching out to Mr Putin would deprive him of the possibility of claiming he has no other option but to pull Russia further into insular nationalism and military adventurism. It is precisely when the bear is down that more effort should be put into communicating with him.
