...just as the Russian economy was plunging, there was a protest of a few thousand people in Vladivostok and subsequent rallies that brought out a few hundred people. But the latest rallies are larger, the reasons behind them more diverse and the calls for Putin's resignation more fervent. The Prime Minister's popularity has started to suffer. In the week after Kaliningrad, Putin's approval ratings, as measured by state-run pollster VTsIOM, fell to their lowest level in almost four years...

And it was to more than a bit of confusion that Reid hours later threw out the deal...
Traffic in northern Tehran was incredibly clear on the 31st anniversary of the country's Islamic revolution. A trip that usually takes an hour and a half was traversed in 30 minutes. The districts in the area were the source of some of the more fervent anti-government protesters after the country's disputed presidential election in June. But apparently, many residents - who are among the city's more affluent - took advantage of the beginning of a five-day holiday to book trips to tourist destinations such as Dubai, Istanbul or Iranian towns on the shores of the Caspian...
