Russia downs Canada 5-3 to win IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship

The 2011 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships ended in Buffalo, New York with one of the oldest and most heated rivalries in hockey history as Canada and Russia both looked to once again stand a top of the junior hockey world. With Team Canada coming off a silver medal, second place performance a year earlier, wanted to get back to their gold medal winning ways they have in the past. Russia is coming off a sixth place finish a year earlier had hopes of getting back to gold medal glory all while adding another chapter in this historic rivalry.

Russia scored five unanswered goals in the third period as they came back to win 5-3. The win is Russia's fifth gold medal while it's their first since winning back to back gold in 2002-2003. This lose is Canada's second straight silver medal. Canada came up short a year earlier in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan when they lost in over overtime 6-5 to the United States. Canada won three silver medals in a row from 2002-2004.

Canada started out strong as they opened the scoring on a power play when Ryan Ellis scores at 5:02 of the first period to make it 1-0. Late in the first period, Carter Ashton scored to make it 2-0 with 13.5 seconds left. Canada continued the scoring at 6:27 of the second with a goal from Brayden Schenn.

Russia to purchase two warships from France, NATO allies uneasy about sale

Russia is to purchase two Warships from French companies, with the possibility of two additional vessels, in a move that has sparked fears among France's NATO allies. The sale has worried NATO members because of the sophistication of the technology aboard the vessels, who fear arming officials in Moscow with advanced weaponry could be disastrous.

The sale had been agreed in July, but stalled in August after France reconsidered what technology they were prepared to share with Russia. Vladamir Putin, the Prime Minister of Russia, had said they planned to use the technology to build their own warships in the future. The office of President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, said there was potential for two additional ships to be sold to Moscow.

The United States is thought to be uneasy about the sale, along with some of Russia's surrounding states. Mistral class amphibious assault ships, the class of ship being purchased by Russia, contains a 69-bed hospital and can carry sixteen helicopters and a landing force of up to 750 people and four craft.


Warship

A warship is a ship that is built and primarily intended for combat. Warships are usually built in a completely different way than merchant ships. As well as being armed, warships are designed to withstand damage and are usually faster and more maneuverable than merchant ships. Unlike a merchant ship, a warship typically only carries weapons, ammunition and supplies for its own crew (rather than merchant cargo). Warships usually belong to a navy, though they have sometimes been operated by individuals or companies.

In wartime, the distinction between warships armed merchantman|auxiliary warships, such as the Q-ships of the First World War and the armed merchant cruisers of the Second World Warentury or the Japanese Navy during the Second World War.

The Belarusian Prime Minister, Sergei Sidorsky, was sacked by the President, Alexander Lukashenko after a cabinet reshuffle following last week's disputed Presidential election. His successor is Mikhail Myasnikovich, a former Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus back in the 90's.

Sidorsky was the Prime Minister of Belarus since July of 2003 when he was appointed by President Lukashenko. He is Belarus' longest serving Prime Minister, having served over seven years. Before that he was Deputy Prime Minister from 2001 to 2002. His replacement, Mikhail Myasnikovich is a former Deputy Prime Minister from the 90's.

This comes a week after the Presidential election which saw the re-election of the incumbent Alexander Lukashenko who has ruled Belarus since the establishment of the office in 1994. Foreign observers called the election, "fraudulent" and unfair. Following the elections, an estimated 600 people were detained by the government, including 11 Russian nationals.
