Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has spoken out against the verdict handed to controversial Russian punk band Pussy Riot, saying he believed the time they spent behind bars before and during the trial was punishment enough. "I would not like to substitute the judge, but in my view, the punishment they have already had -- as they have been imprisoned for a considerably long time -- is quite enough for them to think it all over", Medvedev said at a United Russia Party meeting in the Russian city of Penza. "The continuation of their imprisonment seems to me unproductive. A suspended term would be enough, if one takes into account the period they spent under extremely inconvenient prison conditions", he added. Last month, a Moscow court sentenced three members of the feminist punk band to two years each in a medium-security prison on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred. The six months the three women have already spent in pre-trial custody will count as time served towards their sentences. In the verdict, the judge said that band members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich showed flagrant disregard for church parishioners and the fundamentals of the Orthodox faith, with their performance in Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow.

na stunning move, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed the re-election of Barack Obama almost solely because of the issue of climate change. In a piece on the Bloomberg news web site, he said that the destruction caused by hurricane Sandy had led him to his decision. He wrote: The floods and fires that swept through our city left a path of destruction that will require years of recovery and rebuilding work. And in the short term, our subway system remains partially shut down, and many city residents and businesses still have no power. In just 14 months, two hurricanes have forced us to evacuate neighborhoods — something our city government had never done before. If this is a trend, it is simply not sustainable. Our climate is changing. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not be the result of it, the risk that it might be — given this week's devastation — should compel all elected leaders to take immediate action. Bloomberg has up until now been harshly critical of both candidates, refusing to endorse either. Perhaps more surprisingly, Bloomberg very directly castigates Romney for reversing his position on the topic, saying that his previous stances about climate change were driven by free-market, centrist ideas. He digs up a quote from when Romney was governor of Massachusetts, and signed on to a regional cap-and-trade plan to reduce carbon emissions. " "The benefits (of that plan) will be ...

[Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State]: "There needs to be an opposition leadership structure that is dedicated to representing and protecting all Syrians. It is not a secret that many inside Syria are worried about what comes next. They have no love lost for the Assad regime but they worry and rightly so about the future and so there needs to be an opposition that can speak to every segment and every geographic part of Syria." Speaking at a news conference while meeting with the Croatian President Ivo Josipovic, Clinton also said, Syrian opposition talks in Qatar next week should lead to a broader coalition, that would speak out strongly against any extremists' efforts in hijacking the Syrian revolution. [Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State]: "The Arab League sponsored meetings starting in Doha next week will be an important next step... We've made it clear that the SNC can no longer be viewed as the visible leader of the opposition. They can be part of a larger opposition, but that opposition must include people from inside Syria and others who have a legitimate voice that needs to be heard."
