Russian authorities said Saturday that 26 people died this week after consuming a hazardous home-brewed spirit in the Orenburg region bordering Kazakhstan.
The regional ministry told the state-owned news agency RIA that the death toll was up from the nine deaths reported on Thursday.
Another 28 people are suffering from symptoms of alcohol poisoning and some are reportedly in a coma.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Taliban on Saturday ruled out cooperation with the United States to contain extremist groups in Afghanistan, staking out an uncompromising position on a key issue ahead of the first direct talks between the former foes since America withdrew from the country in August.
Senior Taliban officials and U.S. representatives are to meet Saturday and Sunday in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Officials from both sides have said issues include reining in extremist groups and the evacuation of foreign citizens and Afghans from the country. The Taliban have signaled flexibility on evacuations.

Four in ten French say they would like to see immigration numbers reduced to zero, according to a poll released this week as all leading French presidential candidates adopt tough migration policies.
The poll, conducted by the CSA Institute for CNews, was released on Thursday and states that 41 per cent of those who took part in the poll were in favour of stopping all immigration to France, both illegal and legal immigration.
OTTAWA — Conservative MP Michael Chong says the party is still studying the government’s new mandatory vaccine policy before taking a position on the issue.
In an interview on CTV’s Question Period airing Sunday, Chong said the measure, announced last week, which requires “core” federal public servants to attest to being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 29, is vast and requires thorough review.
Free community college is one of the perks being sought in a massive federal reconciliation bill under consideration before Congress, and the expenditure would allow illegal immigrants to attend community college for free as well.
“… The Appeal Court said that courts should give a “generous gateway” for admitting evidence about the effect of anti-Black racism on an offender, but the specific sentencing framework for Indigenous offenders does not apply to Black offenders.
Evidence about “social context” such as experiences with anti-Black racism doesn’t impact the seriousness of an offence, but a “generous gateway” should be provided for using it to mitigate personal responsibility, the court said.”
This is Dindunuffin as “social context”
A four-year fight by U.S. whistleblower Chelsea Manning for permission to come to Canada will continue until at least next year, after her immigration hearing ended Friday not with a decision, but a lengthy timetable for more legal arguments.
The defeated Conservative MP now tasked with determining where his party’s federal election campaign went wrong says he intends to “hit the ground running” within the week — and his work will include a review of leader Erin O’Toole’s campaign performance.
“I’ve already reached out to people within the party, outside the party. I’ve already started to arrange some interviews for next week and I intend to start travelling within the next couple of weeks,” James Cumming told CBC’s The House this week.
No question, the sphincter relaxant was the campaign’s salvation.
Erin O’Toole will reliably renounce, walk back, toss under a bus any policy or person as deemed necessary. That’s consistency you can count on.
The US government spent $85 billion on the Afghan military, only to see it surrender to the Taliban without a fight. Now the son of a former defense minister is spending millions to buy a luxury mansion with a view of Los Angeles.
A man by the name of Daoud Wardak recently bought the Trousdale Estates property in Beverly Hills for $20.9 million, Yahoo News reported, citing real estate records. He was described as an “ethnic Pashtun refugee” born in 1977, with public records showing him as president of AD Capital Group, based in Miami, Florida.
Whatever concern Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expresses now about inflation rising at an annual rate of 4.1% in August — the biggest increase in 18 years — he already told us his real view about inflation in July, upon learning that the annualized increase that month was 3.7%.
China’s President Xi Jinping has said that “reunification” with Taiwan “must be fulfilled”, as heightened tensions over the island continue.
Mr Xi said unification should be achieved peacefully, but warned that the Chinese people had a “glorious tradition” of opposing separatism.
In response, Taiwan said its future lay in the hands of its people.
Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state, while China views it as a breakaway province.
A Burlington man, who made up a story about being an Islamic State executioner, has seen the rare terrorism-hoax charges he faced dropped, after his stories became the focus of major media reports, capturing worldwide attention and creating a political storm in Canada.
Justice Donald McLeod accepted the Crown’s decision to withdraw terrorism-hoax charges laid against 26-year-old Shehroze Chaudhry in a Brampton court Friday.
The charges were withdrawn after it was found the accused had made up claims to have fought for Islamic State and he posed little threat to the public.
There are at least three levels of crazy here:
1. She was suspended from school for not wearing a mask.
2. She was arrested and jailed for it.
3. THEY PUT THE ENTIRE SCHOOL ON LOCKDOWN.
And all this in the reddest red state. https://t.co/rwJ7xRM341
