MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia’s Victoria state has withdrawn as host of the 2026 Commonwealth Games because of a massive increase in the projected cost of staging the multi-sports event.Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews on Tuesday said his government last year agreed to host the next edition of the quadrennial event “but not at any cost.” He said his government had initially budgeted 2.6 billion Australian dollars ($1.8 billion) to stage the Games in five regional cities but recent estimates put the potential cost as high as 7 billion Australian dollars ($4.8 billion). Andrews told a news conference he’d notified Commonwealth Games organizers of his government’s decision to pull out of the hosting contract.“Today is not about finding fault with those cost estimates,” he said, declining to outline the reasons for the cost blowouts. “Frankly, AU$6-AU$7 billion for a 12-day sporting event, we are not doing that — that does not represent value for money, that is all costs an...

MOSCOW — On a Friday evening after work, Vladimir Yagudayev was halfway through his dinner when he almost choked on his macaroni. His de facto boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had just published an audio message on Telegram threatening to advance on Moscow if Russia’s top military brass was not booted out. “We’d been expecting something to happen, but nothing this brash,” said Yagudayev, a 25-year-old social media manager with blue eyes and a bushy beard, referring to the June 23 mutiny led by the leader of the Wagner mercenary group. “Many of us understood straight away that it would affect us in one way or another,” said Yagudayev, who works at the media holding Patriot, better known as part of what has become known as Prigozhin’s troll farm.Yagudayev and his colleagues weren’t wrong.
