A Moscow court has officially labelled Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot an 'extremist group'.
Founding member Nadya Tolokonnikova, now living in exile, is not phased however:
"When I was tried for the punk prayer, facing seven years in a labor camp, I told the judge and prosecutors that I was still freer than they would ever be," she said in comments sent to AFP. "In today's Russia, telling the truth is extremism. So be it – we're proud extremists, then."
A Russian ship enters UK waters, & uses lasers to antagonise pilots monitoring it. The UK Russian embassy claims the military vessel is merely performing "oceanographic research".
UK Defense Sec believes other designs are afoot:
