Car bomb kills Russian-appointed official in eastern Ukraine

A car bomb has killed a Moscow-installed official in Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region, local authorities said on Monday.
The local branch of Russia's Investigative Committee said the deputy head of a state-run education agency was killed when "an unidentified device detonated in a car."

Russia claimed to have annexed the Luhansk region in September 2022, alongside neighboring Donetsk and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions in southern Ukraine.
Five things to know about Turkey's historic local elections
Turkey's local elections on Sunday dealt the biggest blow in more than two decades to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling AKP party.
Here are five things to know about the poll that turned into a debacle for the country's veteran leader.
More than a local poll
By throwing all his energy into campaigning for his party's candidates for mayors, Erdogan gave the election a national resonance and made it a de facto referendum on him and his party.
This held especially true in Istanbul, the country's megapolis and economic powerhouse where Erdogan got his own political start and that he badly wanted to recapture from the opposition.
The voters' answer was clear – the ruling party not only failed to wrest back control of Istanbul and the capital Ankara from the opposition, but lost ground in the country's other major cities, including in the conservative Anatolia region, which had been considered an AKP stronghold.
"The biggest election defeat of Erdogan's career", is how Berk Esen, a political scientist at Sabanci University, described the election, in which the main opposition CHP party scored "its best result since 1977".

Outrage in Spain as video shows Madrid police ‘violence’ on unarmed black men
Leftwing parties call for government action after footage of incident in Lavapiés spread on social media
Leftwing parties in Spain are demanding explanations after a video appeared to show a pair of police officers using violent force on two unarmed black men in a central Madrid neighbourhood.
The video, shot on Friday in Lavapiés, appears to show one of the men on the ground and immobilised by a police officer who seemingly has him in a chokehold. A second police officer appears to then strike the immobilised man twice with a baton before grabbing and punching another man standing nearby.
