As Microsoft’s efforts to close its acquisition of Activision Blizzard continue, the CMA’s review of the deal is perhaps the most important remaining aspect going forward. While the FTC’s rejection of the deal in the US is very notable, Microsoft can seek to counter the FTC in US courts – where the current FTC has lost all similar legal efforts.

Ihor Zhdanov, co-founder of the national Ukrainian Open Policy Foundation, wrote in an op-ed in the Kyiv Post that Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group, and others have coined this current phase of the conflict as the “Bakhmut meat grinder.” It is a reference to the 10-month battle conducted in Verdun, France, during World War I. But instead of additional reservist soldiers infiltrating the area on both sides of the military equation, Zhdanov encourages “another solution” akin to what occurred during the Battle of Stalingrad....

Speaking at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Los Angeles on Friday, the president said that the U.S. knew before the start of the war on February 24 that Vladimir Putin was going “to go in, off the border.” “Nothing like this has happened since World War II,” Biden said, according to the Associated Press. “But I knew we had data” that showed Putin’s intent. “I know a lot of people thought I was maybe exaggerating and Zelensky didn’t want to hear it,” Biden added....

This week has already been dominated by revelations from conversations between the two presidents, with a July phone call between the two men prompting an impeachment investigation into the president.

But when it came to the actual fight, RIbas dominated the cage left, right, and center and gave no chance for Dern to take an upper hand. What happened at UFC Fight Night 161?
