Skylar, a senior year student at Kent State University and member of Liberty Hangouts, said those protesting the event were misinformed. The event was merely supporting the right to bear arms and had no links to neo-Nazism or white supremacy. When speaking to the press, Kaitlin Bennett accused protesters of being «delusional» and not knowing what they were protesting.

Borzhko admitted that some of the academy's graduates serve in the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU). However, he pointed out that they take positions «that correspond to our training programmes.» Borzhko also remarked that the reports claiming that locals in Chepiga's home village of Berezovka recognised him on CCTV images from Salisbury seem to be «journalistic fakery.» «It was all made up.

The dispute had prevented the country's accession to the EU and NATO, which is why voters are being asked «Do you support EU and NATO membership by accepting the agreement between Republic of Macedonia and Republic of Greece?». Macedonia: PM urges parliament to pass name deal despite low turnout 2018-10-01 00:51 Macedonian Prime Minster Zoran Zaev called on parliament to «respect the democratic» of the people or face fresh elections at a press conference in Skopje after polls closed in Sunday's name change referendum. Electoral authorities said turnout was below the 50 per cent threshold needed to be valid, but despite the results, Zaev said that vote showed the democratic will of Macedonian citizens. He called on MPs to approve the name change in parliament. If that fails, Zaev threatened fresh elections. According to preliminary results, turnout was only 36,27 per cent. Out of this number 91 per cent voted YES in the referendum, accepting the name change from The Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia (FYROM) to Northern Macedonia. The referendum was designed to end a long-running dispute with Greece. Athens believes its northern neighbour's name is a territorial claim on the Greek region of Macedonia. The issue had prevented the country's accession to the EU and NATO.

Bulletproof backpack for high-school students goes on sale in US 2018-10-01 04:04 With almost 30 school shootings in the United States in 2018 alone, one entrepreneur decided to take action and create a bulletproof backpack for students. Matt Materazo, the CEO and founder of Gladiator Solutions, showed off the PakProtect at his home in Danville, California, on Sunday. The idea for the new product sprang from the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, which killed 17 people. Materazo's son asked his father whether he could do anything to help. Naturally, the response was to insert an armour plate weighing only 1lb (450g) into a backpack. Thus, PakProtect was born. After a presentation of the product, the inventor had a couple of high-school students demonstrate how the product could be used in a run, hide and fight situation involving an active shooter. Materazo is not limiting the product to school students either. He is targeting the office environment, which has experienced a number of mass shootings in recent months.
