In mid-September, Russians at War, a documentary by the Russian Canadian filmmaker Anastasia Trofimova, was supposed to be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. At the last minute, after protests from the Ukrainian community and the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the festival first pulled the picture, only to return it to the program a week later.

What made the documentary so controversial was that, although many films have chronicled the devastation caused by Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, including the Oscar-winning 20 Days in Mariupol, Trofimova’s work focused on the invaders. The filmmaker, embedded with a Russian unit for seven months, humanized Moscow’s troops as lost, confused, and disheveled. The men joke, miss their families, and even criticize the Russian government, though they never speak against Putin. A love-on-the-front-lines plot trains the viewer’s sympathy on the soldiers, even while the film avoids any reference to atrocities committed by Russian forces in Ukraine.

So is Russians at War a propaganda film, as its Ukrainian critics argue? Financed in part by the Canada Media Fund and produced in partnership with Ontario’s public broadcaster TVO, Russians at War avoids the trope of “Russian savior liberates ancestral lands from NATO invaders” that is typical of Kremlin propaganda. But all of Trofimova’s previous documentaries, filmed in Syria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Iraq, were made for RT—the Kremlin’s global propaganda network. In an interview with Deadline, Trofimova claimed that she embedded with a Russian unit without any military authorization, and just “stuck around.” In a country where a Wall Street Journal reporter gets sentenced to 16 years for merely handling a piece of paper, an independent filmmaker roaming the front lines, filming military installations, and interviewing soldiers without facing repercussions raises questions. Trofimova did not respond to a request for comment for this article.

One thing that the confused response to Russians at War makes clear is that eight years after the revelation that Moscow attempted to influence a U.S. presidential election, most Westerners still don’t really know how Russian propaganda campaigns work. Americans have become familiar with AI botnets, salaried trolls tweeting in broken English about Texas secession, deranged Russian TV hosts calling for a nuclear strike on New York, and alt-right has-beens. But what to make of a French and Canadian documentary, tucked between Pharrell’s Lego-animated film and a Q&A with Zoe Saldaña, that seems cozy with the Russian military and blurs the line between entertainment and politics?

Here is a clue: The Kremlin’s information war in the West is reminiscent of the one it fought—and won—on the home front. I know this because I was in that earlier war, and, regrettably, I fought on the wrong side.

I began working for Kremlin-linked media during my junior year in college. At the time, the Russian government was apparently hoping that by leveraging high energy prices, it could regain a bit of the influence it had lost after the Cold War. The state called this being an “energy superpower.” In practice, high oil and gas prices abroad translated into more Michelin chefs, German cars, and Italian suits for the select few at home.

In 2005, a close friend introduced me to Konstantin Rykov, known as the godfather of the Russian internet and, later, the man who revolutionized digital propaganda in Russia. In 1998, he launched a website called fuck.ru, which included a provocative magazine and mixed Moscow nightlife, humor, and art. With a blend of pop culture and media savvy, Rykov built an empire of news websites, tabloids, and even online games.

Rykov’s latest endeavor at the time of our meeting was The Bourgeois Journal, a glossy luxury-lifestyle magazine aimed at Russia’s affluent class. He hired me to head up the St. Petersburg bureau, not because of my background in student journalism, but in large part because I grew up in Boston, meaning that I was fluent in English and, apparently, the ways of the West. During my interview (a sushi-and-vodka breakfast), the word Kremlin never came up.

Rykov made the Journal available, for free, only at the most exclusive restaurants, gyms, private clinics, and five-star hotels. Inside, between ads for Richard Mille watches and prime London real estate, were interviews with figures such as Vladimir Medinsky and Alexander Dugin—now the ideologues behind Russia’s war in Ukraine. In a single issue, you could read a review of a restaurant located in a 15th-century building in Maastricht, an essay about the West’s fear of a strong Russia, and a report from Art Basel. The Bourgeois Journal used luxury to mask propaganda aimed at Russia’s elite.

Like many people working in Russian propaganda at the time, I didn’t agree with the narrative that my publication was spreading. And, as most people in propaganda will tell you, I was simply doing my job. I was there a little over a year—selling ads, reviewing restaurants, and occasionally interviewing a Western celebrity. The tedious essays on Russia’s place in the world were outweighed by the benefits of running a magazine for the rich: private palaces, private parties, and escapes to the Caribbean sun—something that the birthplace of Dostoyevsky had little of.

After the success of The Bourgeois Journal, Rykov launched Russia.ru, the country’s first online television network, in 2007. Here, pro-Kremlin news ran alongside obscene reality shows, attracting nearly 2.5 million viewers a month. The network’s slogan, “Glory to Russia”—now a battle cry in Russia’s war in Ukraine—demonstrated just how seamlessly Rykov blended patriotism with entertainment to reach an enormous audience.

Building on this, Rykov introduced ZaPutina (“For Putin”), a movement designed to help Vladimir Putin secure an unconstitutional third term. The project included an online platform that aggregated news from various sources, including original reporting from its own correspondents; a ZaPutina campaign bus to take Kremlin-loyal bloggers across the country; and attractive women—proto-influencers—who attended press conferences, introducing themselves by name and their outlet (“For Putin”) before asking their questions.

My biggest contribution to Russian propaganda came in 2009. By then, Russia was positioning itself as an inventive, Western-oriented economy. Vladislav Surkov—an adman, a poet, a columnist, and a Kremlin ideologue—dubbed this period one of “managed democracy,” which will likely be remembered as the midpoint between Russia’s post-Soviet anarchy and its modern-day fascism. Political parties were numerous, but all controlled from the Kremlin, as was almost every form of media. Yet the country sought a veneer of freedom. That’s where Honest Monday came in—a prime-time talk show that I co-created, wrote, and co-produced.

Our remit was to reach the sorts of viewers who ignored the in-your-face messaging of broadcast talk shows. Each week, the Kremlin assigned these shows a topic it wanted highlighted, and most would comply in a very blunt fashion: Do this, vote for that, Russia’s great. With a young host and a flashy studio modeled on French TV, Honest Monday took a different approach. Every week, I wrote up a summary of the left, center, and right perspectives on the topic we were given; I also delineated a viewpoint that reflected the Kremlin’s stance on the matter and sketched a justification for why this view was better than the other three. The producers would then scour the country for guests whose views reflected each of the three perspectives. The three speakers—politicians, celebrities, or pundits—had to defend their stance to, say, a factory worker we flew in from Siberia whose experience was relevant to the topic we covered. The debates were real, many of them heated, and with views contradicting the Kremlin’s. Still, the house always won.

Toward the end of our first season, the ratings for Honest Monday dipped, and the Kremlin’s tolerance waned. The network introduced a new director. As I recall, he outlined for us his vision of the show’s future: “When the viewers tune in, the first thing they should do is shit themselves.”

The Kremlin instructed us to take aim at the powerless Russian opposition, and in a matter of weeks, the messaging turned into outright bashing of everything that stood against Putin. I resigned—publicly—by sanctimoniously calling the show’s producers and host “Kremlin shills.” A couple of years later, two people connected with the Russian propaganda machine lured me outside and assaulted me in broad daylight (one of them later tweeted that he was motivated by a personal issue rather than a political one). When I hit the ground, half a mile from the Kremlin, I was finally out of the game.

Perhaps Rykov’s greatest contribution to Russian propaganda remains his cadre of media managers and propagandists, who now grace Kremlin corridors (and U.S. Treasury sanctions lists). One such protégé was Vladimir Tabak. Formerly a producer at Russia.ru, he rose to prominence in 2010, when he organized a now-infamous birthday calendar for Putin, featuring 12 female students posing in lingerie and captioned with quotes like “I love you,” “Who else but you?,” and “You’re only better with age.” The calendar, designed to create buzz and cultivate Putin’s image, dominated the news cycle for weeks. In an interview with the model Naomi Campbell, Putin even commented on how much he liked it. Legend has it that Surkov personally approved the project.

Although Tabak’s initial endeavor may have seemed playful, his later efforts illustrate just how insidious his propaganda techniques have become. Since 2020, Tabak has led Dialog, a powerful, Kremlin-affiliated organization tasked with controlling and shaping all social-media narratives in the country. If someone uses social media to criticize, say, the mayor of a small town, Dialog knows about it. According to a joint investigation by the independent Russian outlets Meduza, The Bell, and iStories, the organization took on a significant role during the coronavirus pandemic, virtually monopolizing the flow of COVID-related information in Russia by launching the website Stopkoronavirus.rf as the primary source for daily pandemic updates (the investigation report notes that Dialog denies being associated with this site).

At the height of the pandemic, the Kremlin decided to hold a vote on constitutional amendments that would allow Putin to serve two more terms, and Dialog immediately shifted to encouraging people to go to the polls, downplaying COVID-19 concerns. Later, after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Dialog was reportedly tasked with spreading fake news about the war not just in Russia, but in Ukraine. Some of the narratives included Ukrainian soldiers selling their awards on eBay, high-ranking Ukrainian officials owning expensive property in the European Union, and Kyiv ordering the mobilization of women.

Tabak’s organization has become a key player in Russia’s digital warfare abroad, including in its most recent campaign targeting Western audiences. On September 4, the U.S. Justice Department seized numerous internet domains allegedly involved in Russia’s Doppelganger campaign—an influence operation designed to undermine international support for Ukraine and bolster pro-Russian interests. The domains, many of them made to resemble legitimate news outlets, were linked to Russian companies, including Dialog. According to an unsealed affidavit, the goal of the operation was to spread covert Russian propaganda, manipulate voter sentiment, and influence the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Doppelganger appears to be a sophisticated operation that used deepfakes, AI, and cybersquatting (registering domains designed to mimic legitimate websites). But the Kremlin’s real innovations were those it employed in Russia in the 1990s; in the West today, it is simply repeating the same playbook using new technology. Washingtonpost.pm, a fake news website created to spread Russian propaganda, was an evolution of the fake newspapers that circulated in Russia during the ’90s ahead of elections. The purpose of those outlets—made to resemble legitimate media but filled with kompromat, gossip, and propaganda—was to get the right people elected.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian propaganda has churned out absurd and repulsive lies, such as that Ukraine has biolabs where NATO scientists are working on a virus that targets Slavic DNA, and that Zelensky, who is Jewish, presides over a neo-Nazi regime. Yet, in a way, it has become honest with itself—at least for the domestic audience. There’s no longer a need for platforms like Russia.ru or The Journal, because the message is clear: This is who we are, and you’re either with us or against us. And yet, the entertainment aspect didn’t disappear. Rather, it was absorbed into the propaganda machine through the Institute for Internet Development.

Founded in 2015 with Kremlin backing, and currently under the direction of the former Journal producer Alexey Goreslavsky, the IID helps direct state funds toward producing everything from box-office releases to YouTube videos, blogs, and video games. With a yearly budget of more than $200 million, it dwarfs any private film studio or streaming platform in Russia.

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the institute has become the go-to hub for content. Initially, its output was dull and overtly propagandistic, but that has changed. Its catalog now includes 20/22, a TV series about a soldier fighting in Ukraine and his anti-war girlfriend, as well as A Thug’s Word, a 1980s period piece about a street gang, which became the No. 1 show in Russia and surprisingly popular in Ukraine—much to the dismay of the Ukrainian government. A Thug’s Word contains no politics, no war, and no Putin, yet IID—a propaganda organization—considers it its greatest success, because it legitimized the institute in the world of popular entertainment, which it fought so hard to break into.

One reason Russian propaganda is running circles around the West is that the internet was one of the few domains where the Russian state arrived late, forcing it to co-opt those who understood it. RuNet, the Russian segment of the World Wide Web, was created—and run—by people like Rykov: artsy 20-somethings, filled with cynicism, post-Soviet disillusionment, and a cyberpunk mentality. The collapse of the Soviet Union taught them that truth was whatever they wanted it to be, and that survival was the ultimate goal. The advertising executives, philosophy students, and creatives who once made video art, lewd calendars, and scandalous zines are the same minds who in 2016 said, “Let’s make memes about Hillary Clinton,” and in 2024 suggested using AI to flood X with believable comments. In many ways, this confrontation mirrors what’s happening in Ukraine: This time, however, the West is the massive, unwieldy force being outsmarted by a smaller, more tech-savvy adversary.

The good news is that the Kremlin is a graveyard of talent. In time, every gifted person I knew who went behind its brick walls was devoured by deceit, paranoia, and fear of losing one’s place in the sun. Konstantin Rykov was exceptional at his job, so much so that the Kremlin offered him a seat in the Russian Parliament when he was just 28. He accepted the offer. But being a member of the Duma Committee on Science and High Technologies and the Committee for Support in the Field of Electronic Media wasn’t the same as being the editor of fuck.ru. Despite being involved in some foreign influence operations, Rykov, now 45, hasn’t produced any significant work for Russian audiences since he joined Parliament.

Asked by an audience member in Toronto whether Russia was responsible for the war in Ukraine, Trofimova replied, “I think there are a lot of other factors involved. Yeah, like they are definitely sending troops in to solve whatever grievances there are.” Even if it wasn’t financed by Moscow, Russians at War reminds me of a Rykov production: slick, scandalous, and with a ton of free press. The message the film conveys is that war, not the country that started it, is bad in this scenario. Trofimova seems to portray Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the astonishing scale of the atrocities it has committed there, as something impersonal and inexorable, like a tsunami: We can only accept it and sympathize with the victims, including Russian soldiers.

I stopped working for the Kremlin long before the Russo-Ukrainian war, and whatever I did as the head of a magazine bureau and as a talk-show producer pales in comparison with what some of my former colleagues are doing today. Still, I know that in every bullet flying toward Ukraine—the country where my parents were born—there’s a small part of me. I wonder if Trofimova sees that she’s part of it, too.

FLASH REPORT: Ankama launches American crowdfunding platform 'Kickstarter' to finance the 5th and final season of 'Wakfu' with expected new release date [#K5NewsFMExclusive]

(Written by Andrea Davenport & Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Assistant Station Manager of ONC and Freelance Online Media Reporter of ONC, News Writer & Presenter of OneNETnews)

ROUBAIX, FRANCE -- French entertainment company 'Ankama Animations' is initially set to launch a global crowdfunding campaign for the 5th and final season of Wakfu on 'Kickstarter'. Contrary to earlier beliefs that the 4th season would be the concluding installment, even the spicy webcomic that is not being animated on national French kids' TV, this new season will mark the series' true finale.

An exclusive press release sent through 'K5 News FM: Dumaguete' reveals quotes from Mr. Anthony Roux, the show creator and co-director of the French TV series. The upcoming final season will conclude the adventures of now-married 'Yugo Sharm' the eliatrope and their friends. A teaser video was released on Wednesday afternoon (February 5th, 2025 -- France local time) on YouTube, under the umbrella of 'Alphabet' (Google's parent company) and hints at a mystery as the clock strikes midnight.

Roux has confirmed that the 5th and final season will feature the last 26 new episodes. As previously announced by 'Ankama Showtime' last year in mid-December 2024, this season concludes 16 years of animated adventures with the 'Brotherhood of the Tofu'. During an online press briefing… Ankama's Transmedia Manager "XyaLe7111" told K5 News FM: Dumaguete news team that the storyline will focus on the early days of Yugo Sharm and Amalia Sheran Sharm's marriage, introducing a new narrative arc and a potential new villain, whose identity remains undisclosed.

The final chapter of this French cartoon show eyes up the excitement. Ankama benefits from the support of a French public broadcaster 'France Televisions', but the Kickstarter campaign remains essential to offer a high-quality production. The cost of new episodes is around €UR500,000 or a total budget of €UR13 million (which is approximately PHP30,162,600 or PHP784,227,600 million Philippine pesos).

Thanks to partners and regional aid, 50-60% of the budget is already covered there, while Ankama finances the rest in full. Fan support is therefore crucial to allow the studio to remain artistically independent and preserve the creativity that has made the series successful.

In the Kickstarter at launch, there are 7 pledge levels to finance the show. Price starts at €UR25 for 'The Final Countdown', then 'Start of a New Era' costs €UR69, following 'Battle for the Eliacube' costs €UR149, 'My Brother, My King' also costs €UR219 and 'Grougaloragran the Eternal' cost €UR399 from levels 1 to 5.

'Far from the World' at Level 6 costs €UR2,500 which is limited to 50 copies and comes with several perks in VIP studio tour, masterclass, preview show for the advance screening of its first 2 new episodes of Wakfu (Season 5 - The Final Season) and a script collection made and signed by the show creator himself.

And lastly, 'I am a Legend' ends at Level 7 with a cost of €UR8,000 and comes with an Animated Credit Scene, your opportunity to take part in voice dubbing a scene of this said French cartoon show, and the illustrated Director's Original by 'Alexandre Ulmann' known as 'Malec', who is a storyboarder and 2nd co-director of the show.

'K5 News FM: Dumaguete' learned that the 5th and final season of 'Wakfu' is expected to be release around 2027 or 2028. A preview will be available on 'France Televisions' and 'Animation Digital Network' platforms, likely sometime before or after the 2028 Summer Olympics in the United States of America (U.S.A.).

As we wait for the final season, Wakfunians can now support the show directly through the American crowdfunding platform 'Kickstarter', with pledge levels ranging from €UR25 to €UR8,000 so that the beloved animated series can end its 16-year run with the creative freedom that made it a fan favorite.

For now, you can watch the best highlights of Season 4 on your own, or if you're new to the French cartoon when you can stream the latest episodes over to the 'france.tv' website, the 'Okoo' mobile app, Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video in France. Kickstarter's crowdfunding platform will be launched globally next Wednesday beginning February 12th. Wakfunian enthusiasts are inviting everyone to carefully consider their contribution levels to help fund the 5th and final season of the show.

Please contribute responsibly and prep your WALLETS READY.

BROADCAST SIGNAL INTRUSION (2021)

This was ok. The year is 1999, the place, Chicago. We meet a dude named James whose wife apparently committed suicide recently, by jumping off a bridge. They never found her body and he is still grieving, naturlich.

He works transferring video tapes of old TV broadcasts to DVDs. One night, whilst transferring a tape, the scene is briefly interrupted by the strange scene of a person wearing a doll-like mask and making weird noises! James is intrigued. He does a little research and discovers that a similar “intrusion” took place later, but the tape with that broadcast is missing from the archive! A coworker tells him that the FCC seized the tape. James eventually finds someone with a copy of the tape, which he gives to James, but at the high price of the only tape player in James’s possession that can play a certain tape of his dead wife. Anyway, this tape shows a weird mannequin jerking about and also that person with the mask, all with strange noises again.

James pokes around on some online BBS boards which leads him to one Dr. Lithgow, who wrote a report for the FCC about the intrusions. The man suggests that there was third intrusion, of a small cable access channel, that took place the day before James’s wife disappeared! Unfortunately, there is no tape of that intrusion. James listens to the earlier recordings and seems to hear a voice saying, “I fixed them. I fixed them all.” He takes pictures of the screens and blows up them and shows Lithgow. “Things like this don’t happen by accident,” James tells him. “There’s always a reason.” Lithgow responds, “Never attribute to conspiracy that which is more appropriately labeled coincidence.”

James is later poking around on the BBS boards, and someone contacts him! Via the computer! James goes to an antiques store and wanders into the basement, where an apparent underworld figure says that he’ll give James the complete government file of the intrusions if he delivers a package for him. James agrees and takes the package to some dude under a bridge. The dude turns out to have been earlier obsessed with the intrusions. The dude rants a bit before running away. Turns out, before each intrusion, a woman disappeared! James returns home, and the file is there at his door. James becomes more convinced than ever that the intrusions are linked to the deaths of women. He calls Lithgow for some reason, but then he sees someone watching him! (He’s spotted the figure a few times before.) He goes to a bar, and the person follows him inside. It’s just some girl who follows people for fun. Her name is Alice. They end up drinking together and get drunk.

James wakes up the next morning and Alice is still there, watching the intrusion tapes. She notes that there is a phone number in Morse code in the tapes! They call the number, and they hear strange noises! Later, James gets a call from the strange obsessed dude from earlier. He meets the dude in the alley behind his building, and the dude slices his own throat! Alice watches and freaks out. The pair drive away and end up at a motel. Alice calls someone and informs James that the phone number is “registered to a storage unit in Peoria. If we leave now we can get there by noon.” They go to the storage unit place and talk their way into the little storage locker, which has a table, upon which are a telephone and an answering machine, with the tape of the strange noises. The owner of the facility gives them the name (Steven) and address (a PO box) of the person who rented the unit.

Now they drive to Joliet, also in northern Illinois and wait outside the post office. Whilst they sit in the car James eventually tells Alice about his dead wife, but then Steven shows up! They follow him back to his truck and tell him that they’ve been to his storage unit. He tells him to follow him, and they drive to his suburban house. Ominous music plays. They enter the basement. Steven explains that as a young man he became interested in hacking and phreaking and things like that. Eventually, he learned the techniques for interrupting signal broadcasts, and a bunch of rich kids enlisted his help to create the intrusions in question. While he speaks, weird noises come from the floor above. Steven created the phone number to give people a chance to find him, but no one ever showed up, until now. James then asks about the missing women. Steven denies any knowledge of that, but he does suggest that there is a third tape! The scary noises from above continue, and James and Alice run away.

Back at the hotel, Alice seems satisfied with Steven’s story, but James remains skeptical. He wants that third tape. He wakes up the next morning, and Alice is gone! Along with the tapes! He drives, alone, back to Chicago and discovers that his apartment has been tossed! His tape of his wife is missing, but he finds another tape. He pops this into this VCR. It’s a recording of a cable access channel show of his wife dancing, but that is interrupted with more scenes of the weird mannequin. It’s the third intrusion! Someone rips off its mask to reveal the devices underneath. James calls Lithgow again, who says that no one archived old cable access shows, “and only someone with a vested interest would record one. So you tell me, James, does a third tape exist?”

James studies the new images and sees an outdoor scene. He uses this to find a rural location and a house. He enters and pokes around, and he finds Alice’s baseball cap! Then someone enters the house. It’s a dude with a scar on his hand, much like the hand in the video tape. James overpowers the man and threatens him sufficiently so that he agrees to show James the set of the intrusion scenes. They are in an out building, now disassembled. James finds the mask in a box. They rebuild the set and James ties the man to a chair and points a video recorder at him. “When will my dad be here?” the man asks. James puts the mask on the man and demands that he reads a confession, both to creating the intrusions and killing the women. The man is pathetic figure, but James promises him that he’ll be at peace soon, and the man’s voice grows more powerful as he finishes the confession.

We next see James filling a grave, because he has presumably killed the man. He drives away from the house just as the phone starts to ring. As he’s driving away in the dark, the radio becomes distorted, and female figure walks into the road. James runs over her! He goes to look at the woman, and she is a mannequin. She looks at James and goes into spasms and begins to spurt blood everywhere. The end.

This movie was…mostly okay! There were a couple of obvious influences here. First, we had the classic “I Feel Fantastic” Youtube video of 2009, also featuring a creepy singing mannequin. Second, we had the “Max Headroom” signal intrusions of 1987 in the Chicago area, which are still unsolved. Mix it all together and you end up with a decently creepy and moody story about one man’s descent into obsession and/or madness. Was the conspiracy an invention of his imagination, a desperate attempt to find some meaning in his wife’s disappearance? Or was he actually the very killer? (Why else would he have had the third tape?) The acting was solid, and the intrusion images were weird and well-done. The sound design was effective, especially during the scene with Steven. There were parts where the plot dragged, and I’m sure plenty of people found the ambiguous ending unsatisfying, which is a valid complaint. The movie doesn’t rise to “good” because, apart from the intrusion images, nothing really stands out. The idea here is interesting, but the film we see doesn’t really meet the expectations of the grand guignol mystery it promises.

Florida's Attorney General is investigating at least 160 cases of price gouging as the state reels from two hurricanes.

Ashley Moody's rapid response team has received hundreds of complaints of overcharging as some companies allegedly try to cash in on people's desperation, and the team is visiting people to gather information, Florida's WFLA TV station reported.

It said the top three counties that reported price hikes after hurricane Helene are Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas, three adjoining counties in southwest Florida. Saint Petersburg is in Pinellas and Tampa is in Hillsborough.

Anna Maria Fiallos, investigator with Pinellas County consumer protection, told the station: "There's a lot of devastation and unfortunately in any situation, even in a disaster, there's bad actors that will take advantage of it. That's why we rely on our residents of Pinellas County to be alert and let us know, so we can go out and do what we can to protect them."

Newsweek has contacted Florida's Attorney General's office for comment.

At a Wednesday briefing with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris warned that the federal government would intervene to stop companies exploiting hurricane victims.

"To any company that—or individual that might use this crisis to exploit people who are desperate for help through illegal fraud or price gouging—whether it be at the gas pump, the airport, or the hotel counter—know that we are monitoring these behaviors and the situation on the ground very closely and anyone taking advantage of consumers will be held accountable," she said.

Hurricane Milton made landfall late on Wednesday and killed over a dozen people. Nearly two million Floridians were still without power on Friday. Helene killed an estimated 230 people in late September.

United Airlines strongly denied it had jacked up prices as people hurried to flee Hurricane Milton and said a viral online photograph of its fares was inaccurate.

"United capped Florida fares on Sunday," it told Forbes via email. "Since then, the average price for a one way, economy class ticket to our hubs from affected Florida markets was below $500."

It also said it added 18 extra Florida flights.

Alan Rubin, cohead of the Severe Weather Emergency Recovery Team at the Blank Rome law firm told Newsweek that companies cannot suddenly increase prices for roof repair or debris removal after a hurricane.

"There is a standard rate for most of the services that need to be rendered, for example, debris removal, roof repair, and other standard cleanup services that are provided by either private or state contractors," he said.

"Price gouging is a particularly egregious activity that state and local municipalities view as being unacceptable and will be treated as such," he said.

Blank Rome, which has over 600 attorneys in offices throughout the U.S, has had a severe weather team in place for several decades.

Rubin said attorneys general in every state where there is a natural disaster "immediately issue a statement that indicates any price gouging or any attempt to charge more than the going rates prior to the storm will be considered an attempt to price gouge, and that is illegal in any of the states that have been affected by Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton."

"Additionally, prior to impending natural disasters, all gubernatorial offices must ensure that no services being rendered are considered over the normal rates," he added.

How Does AT&T Compare to Other Major Telecom Providers?

When choosing a telecom provider, options matter. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are the big names. How does AT&T compare? Let's look at a few things. First, coverage is key. AT&T has strong nationwide coverage. In cities, it works well. In rural areas, it might struggle a bit. Verizon often has the best rural coverage. But AT&T holds its own in most places. If you live in a city, AT&T is a solid choice. But if you travel to remote areas, Verizon could be better.

Price is another factor. AT&T is not the cheapest. They offer different plans, but they cost more than some rivals. T-Mobile is known for lower prices. But with AT&T, you get what you pay for. They have a good network, fast speeds, and reliable service. Plus, AT&T offers bundles with internet and TV. This can save you money if you want more than just mobile service. Some people might find AT&T's higher prices worth it.

Customer service is the last point. AT&T has mixed reviews here. Some people have had good experiences. Others, not so much. They do offer support online, by phone, and in stores. But waiting times can be long. In contrast, T-Mobile is known for friendly and quick service. Verizon also has good customer service, but it can be pricey. With AT&T, your experience might vary. It's best to check reviews and ask around.

SUSTAINABLE LIVING - MODERN LIVING AND WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH KNITTING?

Everything in balance...

So recently, due to the worldwide pandemic, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. (It’s over a year later and we are still feeling the effects.) I thought this was a wonderful opportunity to work on some knitting designs I’ve had in the works for a while and prepare for the annual winter craft and trade show I usually attend, however, nothing ever entirely goes as you plan. KNITTER’S WRIST IS A REAL THING! I sprained my wrist at the beginning of April and couldn’t knit anything for almost two months. What’s a knitter to do?

I binge watched Netflix for about a week and then I became very bored. I needed something to do after my son went to bed other than watch TV. I saw an advertisement on Facebook for some online courses through a website based out of the UK, that after a bit of research, I found was quite reputable and so my quest for knowledge to end my boredom began.

Among the many courses I decided to sign up for, some to help further my career, others that were just for fun, I found one that I was just plain curious about, Sustainable Living.

Now I am sure you are wondering what this has to do with knitting... a lot actually. As knitters we get to choose the kind of yarn we use to knit with. So why not choose a few items that are a bit healthier for the environment. Wool over acrylic yarn is a great start especially if you buy from a smaller business that is certified organic and ethical. They are out there and yes they are a bit more expensive than buying from a big box store but I’m okay paying a little more for quality and a healthier environment. O-Wool is an amazing brand of wool yarn (it is in the name) that is based out of the United States and luckily for me, ships to Canada for a very reasonable price. If you are interested in learning more about this company and their amazing 100% merino and cotton/wool blend yarns please go to www.o-wool.com for more details.

Another simple change that is easy to make might be looking into using wooden knitting needles instead of metal ones. However, if you love your metal needles and don’t want to give them up, buying vintage knitting needles from a secondhand store instead of new would also be a great alternative. I’ve found that they even make wooden yarn needles now which I find very interesting to work with.

These are just a few little things you can do but if we all start thinking about the little things and making small changes in our everyday lives eventually bigger changes will follow.

#OneNETnewsInvestigates: Former American TV personality and veteran supermodel 'Tyra Banks' caught binging on McDonald's Cheeseburgers that shocks its unhealthy fast-food habit

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- Ex-television star and host of America's Next Top Model 'Tyra Lynne Banks', was recently caught red-handed for her fast-food binging habits that left Aussie netizens and fans in a state of shock and dismay. The veteran supermodel, who has been living in 'Sydney, Australia' for more than a year, was recently spotted at the Australian McDonald's drive-thru, which raised feminine eyebrows about her poor eating habits.

At the age of 51 today, she has maintained a low-key life, operating her new business venture in the ice cream company called "Smize & Dream". Having experienced the glamorous life, Tyra has moved to a relaxed life in Australia, socializing with locals as much as she can and enjoying simple things in general.

But it was her recent trip to a local McDonald's drive-thru in Sydney that caught everyone's attention online. Tyra was spotted in a white Honda Accord rental car, wearing casual wear, a black tank top and track pants with "Smize & Dream" written on them. Her blonde hair was tied back under a black headband without using their make-up. She was in the car park enjoying a classic cheeseburger for AUD5 (PHP184) deep in thought. Enjoying the best seller on the menu.

Photos of Tyra Banks, the ultimate beauty and health icon eating fast-food have sent the internet into a frenzy about unhealthy eating habits. Social media was on fire with backlash as fans were outraged, asking if Tyra's relaxed attitude and food choice were a sign of stress or emotionally dejected. Others came to her defense saying she has the right to eat whatever she wants without any judgment points.

Tyra's relocation to Australia was a drastic change from her previous life in the United States. She has embraced the Indigenous culture in good faith, frequently spotted foreign shopping retailers at now-defunct KMart, Target and currently common local supermarkets like 'Coles' and 'Woolworths'. Tyra has relished the easy-going Australian way of life, spending her days walking around the mall, going to the movies, and treating herself to soothing foot massages.

Despite the recent fast-food debacle, Tyra is still committed to her business world. Her ice cream business "Smize & Dream", is opening its very first store in Darling Harbour around mid-2025. Tyra has worked diligently in the background establishing her brand in Australia while making sure that she is getting enough time with her family and personal life.

The cheeseburger scandal may have caused a few raised eyebrows, but it also goes to prove a simple point: even supermodels are human and deserve the occasional indulgence. As Tyra Banks sets up shop in Australia, fans will be well aware of her in every move.
