A roundup of what has happened in the past 24 hours

WORLD

*His dad may think Russia is America’s “number one geopolitical foe,” but Matt Romney, son of the Republican presidential contender, wants to drum up some business opportunities there.

*The editor in chief of Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita has resigned after publishing an article claiming explosives were found at the scene of the 2010 plane crash that killed then Polish President Lech Kaczynski.

*World famous boxer Vitaly Klitschko, whose Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR) won nearly 14 percent of Sunday’s parliamentary vote in Ukraine, threatened on Friday not to recognize the results of the election.

*With cell phone service knocked out and no electricity in many parts of New York City in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, people are waiting in lines to use a relic from the past – the pay phone.

*Attacked for not backing a black president, blasted for supporting the party of business, accused somehow of betraying their own race: Black US Republicans are trapped in a political no-man’s land where they say their voices are not being heard.

RUSSIA

*Migrants in Russia will ask Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin to cancel Sunday’s planned “Russian March,” the head of Russia’s Federation of Migrants Muhammad Amin Majumder told the newspaper Izvestia.

*The Moscow Prosecutor’s Office is checking The Last Temptation of Christ, a 1988 movie by renowned US film director Martin Scorcese, for signs of extremism, the office’s spokesperson said.

BUSINESS

*The final jobs report before the Nov. 6 United States presidential election, released on Friday, shows the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent in October, despite the economy adding more jobs than expected, giving political ammunition to both presidential candidates in the final days of campaigning.

*Scalpers on Russia’s “gray market” have taken advantage of Apple’s decision to delay the Russia release of its new iPad Mini tablet by charging three times the basic price.

SCIENCE
