The Nord Stream sabotage
Spiegel: Everything points to the Nord Stream sabotage being linked to Ukraine
People working to investigate the sabotage against the Nord Stream in the Baltic Sea have found clues and evidence that are "extremely politically sensitive", write German Der Spiegel and ZDF in a long investigative article.
In the review, it is written that all the evidence points to people from Ukraine being behind the act against the gas pipeline. From the German Prosecutor's Chamber it is officially said that they do not yet know enough to single out Kyiv as responsible for the attack, but in closed rooms the tone is said to be different.
German investigators within the prosecutor's office, the police and the National Criminal Investigation Department have hardly any doubts left about what happened. According to sources, the suspected perpetrators were in Ukraine both before and after the explosion. There is also technical evidence that points to Ukraine. In addition, a Ukrainian man is singled out as the one who rented the yacht Andromeda, which is believed to have been used to carry out the sabotage.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has consistently dismissed all accusations that Ukraine was behind the act.

The military coup in Niger
The military gives the ambassador 48 hours to leave
On Friday, the new military leadership in Niger gave the French ambassador 48 hours to leave the country. The justification is that Sylvain Itté refused to appear at a meeting with the coup plotters as well as "other actions by the French government contrary to the interests of Niger", writes Le Monde.
France rejects the demand.
"The coup plotters do not have the authority to make this request. The assessment of the ambassador is made solely from the legitimately elected Nigerian authorities," writes the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to AFP.

Estonian Prime Minister: "Not planning to resign"
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has no plans to resign, she writes in a statement to the Estonian public service company ERR on Friday evening.
"As prime minister, I have stood and will continue to stand for the freedom of Ukraine and Estonia," she writes.
The opposition has called for Kalla's resignation after it emerged that her husband's transport company continued to do business in Russia after the outbreak of war. The husband has apologized and assured that Kallas did not know about the scheme.
"My husband and I don't talk about work at home," Kallas writes to ER

The forest fires in Hawaii
Over 100 people are removed from the list of missing persons
Over 100 people missing after the fires on Maui have come forward. This after the authorities in Hawaii on Thursday released a list of missing people with 388 names, writes the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
- We are still looking for hundreds of people and we will not stop until we find them, says FBI agent Steven Merrill, who is the head of the division in Honolulu.
The list is the first that the FBI has released since the fires started on August 8, writes the Washington Post. Maui Police Chief John Pelletier understands that many will be saddened when they find relatives on the list. At the same time, the authorities must do everything they can to identify the missing, he says.
So far, the official death toll is 115 people.
