#russia #putin #ukraine - I witnessed Putin’s corrupt rise to power – THIS is how to end his mafia state and win Ukraine war: The Sun

1 November 2026

When American attorney Jamison Firestone landed in Moscow in August 1991, Soviet tanks were rolling into the streets. What followed was a 30-year front-row seat to the collapse of the USSR, the rise of violent mafia protection rackets, and Vladimir Putin's systematic transformation of Russia into a state-run criminal syndicate. In this explosive interview, Firestone reveals what life was really like inside 1990s Moscow—from hiring Afghan war veterans with AK-47s to raid his own office, to partnering with Bill Browder and Sergei Magnitsky to expose the largest tax fraud in Russian history. He breaks down the brutal reality of Putin’s show trials, the torture and murder of Sergei Magnitsky, the inside story of working with Alexei Navalny, and the high-stakes legal battle currently underway to seize $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank reserves to fund reparations for Ukraine. Jamison Firestone is an international human rights lawyer, anti-corruption campaigner, and author of Rule of Lies: My Wild Ride Through Chaos, Corruption, and Murder in Putin's Russia.

#f1 #formula1 #braziliangp - How Norris Conquered the Elements! | Brazil Grand Prix 2026: Autosport

9 November 2026

Absolute Chaos dominated the Brazilian Grand Prix, with McLaren's Lando Norris proving sublime in the mixed conditions, and Mercedes matching Williams' Constructor's championship record. After a poor start, Lando held his nerve to fight back and eventually take the win from Max Verstappen, who started 21st, and fought his way to 2nd, followed by teammate Isack Hadjar. Ferrari was seemingly nowhere, unable to switch on the tyres in the changeable conditions, culminating in a 5 second penalty for Charles Leclerc after contact with Liam Lawson, Jake Boxall-Legge explains.

#f1 #formula1 #braziliangp`- Could George Have Taken Pole? | Brazil Grand Prix 2026: Autosport

8 November 2026

It was interesting and chaotic qualifying from Interlagos in Brazil, with McLaren's Lando Norris taking pole from a very irate George Russell. With many surprises, it was easily one of the most entertaining qualifying sessions of the season. Some of the standout performances include Liam Lawson starting from 3rd, thanks to some penalties, and Nico Hulkenberg starting 4th in the Audi. Another incredible performance came from Fernando Alonso, who claimed into Q3, taking full advantage of the rain and chaos, with Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton not completing qualifying, due to penalties relegating them to the back of the grid regardless of performance, as Jake Boxall-Legge explains. #F1 #Formula1
