One of the men, whom we are calling Ivan, claims to have played a role from Russia in Ukrainian drone attacks on strategic bombers and munitions factories on his home soil.

Donald Trump’s personal physician must stay no more than three minutes away from the president at all times, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal. While round-the-clock medical proximity is standard protocol for the commander-in-chief — former White House physician Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman previously noted keeping a doctor and critical care nurse within two minutes of past presidents — the rule highlights the tight boundaries surrounding the oldest elected president in U. S. history. The arrangement, overseen by Navy Captain Dr. Sean Barbabella, comes as Trump receives glowing medical reports and routinely ignores his doctors’ advice, all while under constant emergency-ready care. Barbabella, a 56-year-old military physician who served in Afghanistan prior to his White House post, is responsible for conducting the 80-year-old president’s health evaluations and drafting his public reports.

Students protesting corruption demand PM Edi Rama resign after 13 years, clash with police and burn offices and banks; Brussels warns against excessive force as Rama alleges a foreign-backed drone attack plot and warns Albania's EU bid is at riskThe wave of anti-government protests in Albania, a Balkan country hoping to join the European Union in the coming years, entered its sixth day Sunday, with Prime Minister Edi Rama refusing to resign as protesters demand. Rama insists the demonstrations threaten not his government but Albania's hopes of joining the EU, a move expected to dramatically improve living standards in the country. The protests sweeping Albania since last Tuesday have been led by students angry over what they see as government corruption, a lack of job opportunities and poor education standards. The demonstrations began in the center of the capital, Tirana, but have since spread to other cities. Protesters demanding Rama's resignation have set fire to government buildings and banks, smashed storefront windows and torn up paving stones to throw at police officers.
