🇯🇵 Some 150 Japanese residents file lawsuit to halt Fukushima water release, reports say
The lawsuit, filed with the Fukushima District Court against the Japanese government and the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (TEPCO), claims that the release of treated water undermines citizens' right to live safely and threatens the operation of local fisheries, a Japanese news agency reported.
The suit claims that the provisions of the 2015 document have been violated, and that the government and TEPCO are obligated to solve the problem of radioactive water accumulation at the plant in another way that does not have a significant negative impact on the environment. The plaintiffs also seek to revoke the approval granted by Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority in May and July of this year to proceed with the water discharge plan.

Scott Ritter: Ukrainian counteroffensive’s last, desperate push
Recent Ukrainian attacks in against the villages of Rabotino and Verbovoe will only lead to further attrition of Kiev’s forces, Scott Ritter, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector, told Sputnik's New Rules podcast.
Ukraine is gaining ground in its counteroffensive started in June, claimed NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday, addressing lawmakers at the European Parliament. Does that mean Ukraine has finally achieved a breakthrough after nearly four months and heavy casualties?
🗣"To answer that question, we have to know what the goals and objectives of the current phase of the Ukrainian counteroffensive are," Scott Ritter, a military analyst and former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, told Sputnik.

🇷🇺SJ-100: the entirely domestically-built Russian airliner
Western sanctions did not stop the development of the Russian aircraft industry. A demonstration of Russia's technological independence is the first flight of the SJ-100 short-haul aircraft, which is an updated version of the Sukhoi Superjet-100, but with Russian-produced components replacing imported ones.

#SputnikInfographic 📊 How Russian grain exports changed
Despite Western sanctions, Russian grain exports have been growing. Over the year, Russia has increased the amount of grain supplied to other countries, reaching the 60 mln tons point, according to the data published by the Russian Ministry of Agriculture.
While the West goes insane declaring a global food crisis while simultaneously imposing unlawful sanctions on one of the main global food exporters, Russia has been enhancing bilateral ties with nations across the globe, developing new trade routes, and working for mutual benefit.
Check out Sputnik's infographic to learn more about the largest grain exporter in the world.

Russia has information on plans to blow up Black Sea gas pipelines
🗣 "Ships patrolling routes of the TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines, have been under attack... [Russian forces] started patrolling these parts of the Black Sea because we have information that there are plans to blow up the pipelines as Nord Stream has been blown up," Lavrov said at an event in the Russian embassy in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka.
The minister also addressed the demands for Russia to allow grain exports via the Black Sea, saying that the country would not allow transit through the humanitarian corridors which are being used to carry out attacks on Russian ships, both military and civilian.

🗣️ On the level of corruption in the US:
“What about US corruption? I mean, you see a Congress that frankly is incredibly corrupt. The Congress people are lining their own pockets a lot of times from the defense industry that they're funding through these wars... We've spent, I think the latest calculation I saw, something like $8 trillion on war since 2000. $8 trillion, can you imagine the human needs that could have been satisfied with that money?“ labor attorney, human rights activist and author Daniel Kovalik told Sputnik.

🗣️ On why the use of depleted uranium brings up great concerns about nuclear contamination in Ukraine:
“When you fire depleted uranium munitions, sometimes they are pyro ferric, they catch fire themselves, but on contact they can also catch fire, and it also pulverizes the uranium into microscopic dust. So it's kind of the perfect storm of hazard. You've got toxic heavy metal, you've got radioactivity that can be contaminated with much higher level radioactivity from high-level radioactive waste,” Kevin Kamps, Radioactive Waste Watchdog at Beyond Nuclear, told Sputnik.
