New UK sanctions on Russia could follow Navalny poisoning revelations

Feb 16, 2026

London [UK], February 16: New sanctions against Moscow could follow from Britain and its allies blaming the Kremlin for poisoning leading Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has suggested.
The UK and its allies on Saturday pinned the blame for Navalny's death on the Russian state, adding he was likely poisoned using a dart frog toxin.
The Foreign Office, and four of the UK's allies - Sweden, France, Germany and the Netherlands - made the announcement two years on from Navalny's death in a Siberian penal colony.
The Russian embassy in London has denied Moscow was involved in Navalny's death and described the announcement as "feeble-mindedness of Western fabulists." Speaking to the BBC's "Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg" programme, the Foreign Secretary hit back at the Russians, insisting the accusation was "deeply serious."

Amid Growing Water Crisis, Chandigarh University Biotechnology Researchers Get Patent for Innovative Device to Kitchen Wastewater Reuse, Save Potable Water

Chandigarh [India], August 29: At a time when 80% of water supplied to households in India is released as wastewater even as over 60 crore people in the country are facing severe water crisis due to extreme groundwater over-extraction, erratic monsoons and rapid urbanisation, a team of Chandigarh University (CU) researchers has conceived and patented an innovative wastewater filtering device designed to provide a two-stage treatment for kitchen wastewater before it enters the drainage system, while also enabling collection of the filtered water for suitable domestic uses including gardening, irrigation and outdoor-area cleaning, thus reducing the demand for fresh potable water.
