Dud Russian general dies after ‘long illness’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:16:52 GMT

Russian General Gennady Zhidko, who was ousted after briefly commanding the Kremlin’s troops in Ukraine, died in Moscow on Wednesday aged 57 after a “long illness,” a regional leader announced Wednesday.Zhidko led Russian troops invading Ukraine from May 2022 until he was pushed out last summer for “for failures during military operations,” the BBC reported at the time. The commander was eventually replaced by Sergey Surovikin, also known as “General Armageddon.” Surovikin — allegedly an ally of Wagner chief and mutineer Yevgeny Prigozhin — was later also removed from military leadership and is now under house arrest. The EU, the U.S. and the U.K. had sanctioned Zhidko for his role in the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, where he deployed troops — including minors — to wage Russia’s war of aggression. Zhidko is the second Russian general to die this week. On Tuesday, Gennady Lopyrev died in jail of an unspecified illness, a pr...

Socialist wins key Spanish parliament vote that could pave way for new center-left government

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:16:52 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s newly elected Parliament voted Thursday by a majority to elect a Socialist candidate as chamber speaker, breathing some life into acting Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez´s aspirations of forming another leftist government. The crucial vote was won by Francina Armengol with 178 votes in the 350-lower house of parliament, against 139 for the main conservative Popular Party’s candidate.It was the first parliamentary vote since inconclusive national elections on July 23 left no group with an easy path to form government. Parties on the left and right have almost an equal number of seats. It remains to be seen if Sánchez can round up the same support should he be called on by the king to try to form a government. If not, a new election could be around the corner.The parliament was also to vote on eight members of the speaker’s presiding council, a body that sets the agenda for parliamentary sessions. Armengol won with the support of 14 votes from two sep...

He was 88.His family said in a statement to the BBC on Thursday that Parkinson died “peacefully at home last night” after a brief illness.After training and working as a journalist, Parkinson got his big television break in 1971 when the BBC offered him his own eponymous talk show.

Over four animated interviews with the great heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali, Parkinson knew he had met his match. “I’m not going to argue with you,” Parky told him during one animat...
