The last Russian language TV channel in Latvia is closing due to not making enough money to stay on the air.

The owners of the only local Russian-language channel TV5 in Latvia have decided to close it because of unprofitability.

As the owner of TV5 - MTG TV Latvia, the Russian-language television market in Latvia is extremely saturated, production costs are very high local product.

Channel had to compete with products from Russia retransmitted without receiving any support from the state. Therefore, TV5 has worked for years with losses, and from the beginning of April 2016 will cease broadcasting.

"TV5 15 years to create quality information content, we appreciate the work of the whole team TV5. Closing the channel - a painful decision, but in order to reduce the losses it was necessary," - said the head of the MTG TV Latvia Baiba Zuzena.

TV5 is among the five most popular channel among the Russian-speaking audience in Latvia, giving place relayed from Russia products (Channel One, RTR, NTV, Ren), correspondent Bi-bi-si Oksana Antonenko.

TV5 is the only fully Russian-language channel of the local production. The individual russkoyazychnye blocks exist on other channels.

Latvian politicians have repeatedly talked about the need to develop local broadcasting in Russian as a counterweight may not always high-quality information products produced in Russia.

It is illegal to smoke in public places in Romania.

http://www.romania-insider.com/law-that-bans-smoking-in-public-places-in-romania-closer-to-entering-into-force/164102/

quote:

Romania�s President Klaus Iohannis promulgated on Friday, January 29, the law that bans smoking in all enclosed public spaces. Thus, the new rules get closer to entering into force. The law will apply 45 days after its publication in the Official Gazette.

The President has signed the decree two days after the Romanian Constitutional Court�s judges ruled that the law is constitutional.

The law bans smoking in all enclosed public spaces, but there are two exceptions, however: smoking is allowed in maximum security prison cells in and special rooms in transit areas within airports.

Those who don�t respect the law risk fines of up to RON 500 (for individuals) and even RON 10,000 (for companies). The restaurants, bars, and clubs that break the rules also risk having their operating licenses suspended.

Well, let's hope that winning an election by appeal to xenophobia and stupidity won't work in the US as well as it did here.
Zeman is a "president of the people". Meaning he's got no voters with more than six braincells.

A few days ago Zakharchenko suddenly open up and admitted that his militants burned Ukrainian village tannery, was located in the mining district, Donetsk region.
Now, we found out a number of other interesting circumstances of the story. There was a video in 2014, from which it became clear that the village tannery destroyed militants DRG "Ryazan", composed almost entirely of Russian mercenaries. Moreover, after the destruction of the village of nearly all who had to do with it, he suffered pechatlnaya fate. Russian journalist Andrei Stenin who filmed the destruction of villages in the video, was burned in his own car in a month. DRG Ryazan was killed off June 3, 2015 in Marinka, during the unsuccessful attack on Ukrainian products. A commander of the DRG "Ryazan" Edward Gilazov died in August 2015 under mysterious circumstances. His colleagues write that his fighters had stopped Zakharchenko because Gilazov Strelkova was a man.
That's the curse of the village tannery.

Journalist Paul Shokotko published on the Internet evidence as Russian mercenaries killed peaceful Ukrainian village tannery (Donetsk region) in July 2014.

The video, filmed by Russian journalist Andrei Stenin militants so-called DRGs "Ryazan", consisting mainly of Russian citizens who talk about how and why were the Donbas. According to the "militias" are under the impression the news of Russian TV come to "protect local grandmothers from the Nazis."

"There are career officers who come from Russia, who fought, but we are few. There are mercenaries, who are fighting for their country, "- said one of the mercenaries at the camera.

The most important thing - the journalist recorded the shelling of the village tannery, next to which the summer of 2014 were part of the APU.

"That's how our minomёtchiki before the attack, the purpose of which - the displacement of Ukrainian troops from the area along the Russian border. The very forces that are blocking our corridors, killing civilians on the territory of Russia ", - says the journalist happens.

The "militia" recognized that the main problem of the war - the reluctance of the locals to take up arms.

"The bad news is that too few people are talking (in the" militia "- Ed.), Who must hold a weapon. And they just sit around and waving their pens: we supposedly with you! And he is standing with a mug of beer. They think that Russia will do everything for them, "- said the mercenary personnel and a Russian officer named" Altai ".

Interestingly, almost all the people related to the destruction of the village tannery and shoot video of it later died. Russian journalist Andrei Stenin was found dead in a burnt car in a month after the shooting. DRG "Ryazan" suffered significant losses during the unsuccessful attack Marinka 3 June 2015, when according to various estimates killed 35 to 60 militants. Commander Edward DRG Ryazan Gilazov died under mysterious circumstances in August 2015. In social networks Gilazova colleagues expressed the opinion that their commander was eliminated militants Zakharchenko for unreliability, as it is considered a person of Igor Strelkov.

In memory of Gilazove his associates assembled a short video. Russian fighter fought in Ukraine since the early days of the conflict in Slavyansk.

Earlier, the leader of the Donetsk Alexander Zakharchenko militants confessed that burned the village tanneries located in the mining district of Donetsk region near the border with Russia.

Yakunin was reportedly were well regarded in Putin's inner circle until very recently. It seems like he's getting the shaft now. They are bringing in corruption/tax evasion charges so it's possible he'll have to flee the country.
