A Canadian couple recently learned that their home was sold by fraudsters without their consent while they were out of town. Experts say theft of this nature is rare, but there has been a notable rise of similar cases in the country's most populous city. Early this year, Toronto police said they wanted the public's help in catching two people who were involved in a complex fraud scheme. The individuals, police said, had used fake identities to pose as owners of a home in the city. They then successfully sold the home, handing over the keys to the unsuspecting new owners. เซกซี่บาคาร่า The real owners of the home, meanwhile, had been out of the country for work since January 2022. The out-of-town couple only learned that their home had been sold without their knowledge months later, after noticing that their mortgage payments had disappeared from their bank accounts. The incident captured the fascination of many in Canada, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area and Vancouver, where real estate is categorised as a national obsession because of its high cost - the average home costs over C$1m ($749,000; £620,000) - and housing scarcity.

Ukraine's army has said Russia fired 36 cruise missiles on Thursday, a day after six apparently radar-reflecting balloons were spotted over Kyiv. The missiles fired from land and sea killed a woman and hit critical infrastructure, officials said. Ukraine noted there had been a change in Russian tactics, in an apparent reference to the balloons above Kyiv. Most of the balloons were shot down, Kyiv's military said, adding that they were being propelled by wind power. Images circulating on social media show an unsophisticated design, with a radar-reflecting, cross-shaped structure trailing under the balloon suspended by a line. บาคาร่า 168 Balloons with reflectors have also been spotted over the eastern region of Dnipropetrovsk in recent days.

Pro-Russian activists in Serbia joined nationalist protesters outside the presidency this week, in the latest indication of rising Russian influence. Chanting "no surrender" and "treason", they threatened to riot if Serbia backed an EU plan to normalise relations with Kosovo. President Alexander Vucic denounced the protesters as "anti-Serbian". บาคาร่า99 th The government said it did not believe Moscow stoked the protests but the war has heightened tensions in Belgrade. Death threats were made towards the president if he signed a deal on Kosovo and three men have been charged with calling for a violent change of Serbia's constitutional order.

Who are the Wagner Group's mercenaries? "Wagner almost certainly now commands 50,000 fighters in Ukraine and has become a key component of the Ukraine campaign," according to the UK Ministry of Defence. เกมบาคาร่า It says the organisation started recruiting in large numbers last year because Russia had trouble finding people for the regular army. About 80% of its troops in Ukraine have been drawn from prisons, according to the US National Security Council. Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it is thought the Wagner Group had only about 5,000 fighters. They were mostly experienced former soldiers - many of them from Russia's elite regiments and special forces.

Over 30,000 mercenaries fighting for the Russian paramilitary Wagner Group have been killed or injured since the Ukraine war began, US officials say. White House spokesman John Kirby said the group had suffered significant losses in recent weeks, with about 9,000 fighters killed in action. บาคาร่าsa Wagner has recruited heavily in Russian prisons, and Mr Kirby said most casualties were untrained convicts. Despite the casualties, Wagner has made gains around the city of Bakhmut. Some of the fiercest fighting of the war has taken place around the eastern city, with Wagner mercenaries heavily involved in Russian efforts to capture it. Ukrainian troops say Wagner fighters had been sent into attacks in large numbers over open ground, and a Ukrainian army spokesperson said Moscow had failed to evacuate wounded and dead soldiers - leading to "places where their bodies are just piled up".

A 23-year-old rapper who grew up in a slum has hit the national spotlight in India after winning one of the country's most popular reality shows. Until a few months ago, MC Stan, who is from the western state of Maharashtra, was popular only among hip-hop and rap fans, who loved his brash rhymes and unapologetic style. dg บาคาร่า But his fanbase has increased by millions after he appeared on the latest season of reality show Bigg Boss, the Indian version of UK's Big Brother - his name has been trending on social media since Sunday, when the show's host, actor Salman Khan, announced he was the winner. Viewers have gushed over Stan's "raw and real personality" while fans have hailed him as the "saviour of hip-hop" in India. His music has found new admirers, including Bollywood star Ranveer Singh and singer Honey Singh, who called Stan the "Indian Lil Wayne".

Mass shootings on the rise There have already been more than 70 mass shootings across the US so far this year, with California experiencing two of the most high-profile in January. Figures from the Gun Violence Archive - a non-profit research database - shows that the number of mass shootings has gone up significantly in recent years. In the last three years there have been more than 600 mass shootings - almost two a day on average. 1688เช็กชี่เกม While the US does not have a single definition for "mass shootings", the Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as an incident in which four or more people are injured or killed. Their figure includes shootings that happen both in homes and in public places.

A man armed with three guns fatally shot his ex-wife and five others during a rampage in a small rural town in the US state of Mississippi, police say. The victims were killed at several locations, including a store and two homes, in Arkabutla, a community of fewer than 300 people. Police have charged a 52-year-old local man with first-degree murder and held him at the county jail. No motive for his attack has yet been identified. 1688บาคาร่า The suspect is believed to have acted alone, said Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves. The rampage began when the gunman entered a petrol station convenience store at around 11:00 local time (17:00 GMT) and shot a man to whom he had no apparent connection, Sheriff Brad Lance said.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was discussing further support for Ukraine which potentially included fighter jets, but the first step was training Ukrainian pilots and the UK is to start doing this on Nato-standard aircraft. The defence secretary dismissed suggestions made by former prime minister Boris Johnson that the UK could provide 100 Typhoon warplanes. Typhoons are made by a coalition of different countries and their permission would be needed before sending them on to Ukraine, he said. 1688เช็กชี่เกม Mr Wallace said he had a duty to ensure the UK and Nato had the aircraft needed for their own defence. The UK's existing commitments, including air policing in the Baltic states and a squadron of Typhoons in Qatar, means there are not many jets left to spare. There are also large practicality issues including the training of pilots - which would take time even for those with combat experience. Around 20 of the oldest Typhoons are due to be retired in 2025.

There will be no immediate transfer of UK fighter jets to Ukraine, the defence secretary has said. Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky renewed his call for fighter jets during a visit to the UK on Wednesday - his first since the Russian invasion. บาคาร่า350 Ben Wallace told the BBC that supplying aircraft to use in the conflict would potentially take months. The defence secretary said the UK was instead focused on using alternative provision of air cover to Ukraine. Mr Wallace did not completely rule out sending aircraft to Ukraine, but said air support and supporting moving troops could be achieved by using long-range missiles and drones.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky spent much of the past week touring European capitals, appealing to leaders to send his country fighter jets. บาคาร่าเว็บตรง At the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukraine was believed to have around 120 combat capable aircraft - mainly consisting of aging Soviet-era MiG-29s and Su-27s. But officials say they need up to 200 jets to match Moscow's air-power - which is thought to be five or six times greater than Kyiv's. Mr Zelensky is primarily seeking US-made F-16s. First built in the 1970s, the jet can travel at twice the speed of sound and can engage targets in the air or on the ground. While now eclipsed by the more modern F-35, it remains widely in use. Experts say modern fighters like the F-16 would help Ukraine strike behind Russian lines.

Few people know Vladimir Putin quite as well as Alexander Lukashenko does. The authoritarian leader of Belarus is a firm Kremlin ally and backer of what Mr Putin refers to as the "special military operation" - what most of the world calls Russia's war in Ukraine. sagaming Since his full-scale invasion of Ukraine a year ago, Mr Putin hasn't sat down with Western journalists. But today in Minsk, Mr Lukashenko took questions from a small group of foreign media, including the BBC. "Last year you allowed your country to be used as a staging ground for Russia's invasion," I reminded Mr Lukashenko. "Are you prepared to do so again?" "Yes, I'm ready," he replied. "I'm ready to provide [territory] again. I'm also ready to wage war, alongside the Russians, from the territory of Belarus. But only if someone - even a single soldier - enters our territory from there (Ukraine) with weapons to kill my people."

A small military town in Sweden's frozen north is on course to produce Europe's first commercial green steel. Giant diggers and excavators are powering through layers of mud, ice and snow at the site of a new steel plant just outside Boden, 900 km (559 miles) north of Stockholm. เซ็กซี่เกม At 09:00, the sun has only just risen and the temperature is -8C. Some of the workers are wearing three or four jackets, and have switched on the heated seats in their vehicles. Steel is usually made in blast furnaces. Fed with coking coal and iron ore, they emit large quantities of carbon dioxide and contribute to global warming. The production of steel is responsible for around 7% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. But in Boden, the new plant will use hydrogen technology, designed to cut emissions by as much as 95%.

With only a bonfire for light and warmth on a bitter winter's night, an extended family sits at the roadside waiting for a miracle. It's not coming. บาคาร่าจีคลับ They've been here for nine days and nights but their loved ones have not been found. This personal grief is being played out in the rubble of one of the most desirable streets money can buy here. "This is one of the most luxurious residential areas in Gaziantep," says musician Yunus Emre, whose cousin and his family of four are missing. "The wealthiest live here. Those flats are sold for millions."

What if we put a giant model shark in a sparkly rainbow swimsuit? Like many great ideas, the pitch for Progress Shark - a recent Australian viral sensation - was equal parts "ridiculous" and "brilliant". The Australian Museum wanted to create a vivid and unique sign to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors to Sydney as the city hosts the month-long World Pride festival from Friday. And - somewhat serendipitously - they already had a 10m great white, or white shark, displayed in front of the museum, on one of the city's busiest intersections. บาคาร่า 77 "We went: 'Right, well how about we just cover it in a rainbow?'" says Amanda Farrar, head of the museum's pride committee. The result, its creators say, is a queer celebration - a bold, colourful, and tasselled homage to lycra.

China has had an unusually busy and bizarre week. On Monday - as the saga over the alleged spy balloon dragged into its 11th day - a fresh spat erupted between Beijing and Manila. This one was over lasers. บาคาร่า 99 The Philippines accused China of using a "military grade" laser light on a Philippine coastguard boat. It said the incident had happened on 6 February when the boat was attempting to take supplies to the Sierra Madre, a vessel that is used as a Filipino naval outpost in the South China Sea; and that a Chinese vessel intercepted the Filipino coast guard boat, blocked its way and used a laser device to temporarily blind the crew. It's not clear what sort of device the Chinese crew used or how powerful it was, but laser weapons designed to damage eyesight are banned under UN convention. The incident has been quickly condemned by a host of countries including the United States, Australia, Japan and Germany.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has ruled out giving up any of his country's territory in a potential peace deal with Russia. In a BBC interview to mark a year since Russia's full-scale invasion, he warned conceding land would mean Russia could "keep coming back", while Western weapons would bring peace closer. Mr Zelensky also said a predicted spring offensive had already begun. "Russian attacks are already happening from several directions," he said. บาคาร่า dg He does, however, believe Ukraine's forces can keep resisting Russia's advance until they are able to launch a counter-offensive - although he repeated his calls for more military aid from the West.

For East Palestine residents John and Lisa Hamner, life as they knew it came to a screeching, flaming halt at 8:55 pm on 3 February. It was that day that a toxin-laden train derailed just metres from their successful garbage truck business, which they had grown from five customers to more than 7,000 over an 18-year period in and around this close-knit Ohio town. "It's totally wrecked our life," he told the BBC, choking back tears in the parking lot of his business, where the stench of chemicals and sulphur from the derailment remains powerful. บาคาร่า168 vip "I'm at the point now where I want out of here," he added.
