Leader of Poland’s ruling Law and Justice Party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, promised that work on a canal running across the Baltic Spit (or Vistula Spit, as it is called in Poland) to connect the port city of Elblag with the Baltic Sea would start soon, despite Russia’s protests that it might harm the environment.
The politician said the project is important for the county’s independence and sovereignty, because right now vessels have to sail through Russia’s territorial waters to get to Elblag. Kaczynski pledged that work would get underway in a month’s time. Replying to a question about Moscow’s opposition to the project, he said Russia had always been against it, but Poland was not going to abandon its plans.

A class-action lawsuit was filed in Illinois against a fast food restaurant chain of the Wendy’s franchise. The suit accuses the company of violating state laws for the way the business stores its employees’ fingerprints, ZDNet reported.
The complaint alleges that the practice of using a biometric scan of employees’ fingerprints to clock when they arrive at Wendy’s for work, when they leave, and when they use the Point-Of-Sale and cash register systems, is a violation of the state Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) law. Wendy’s fails to inform employees in writing of the specific purpose and length of time for keeping fingerprints collected, stored, and used, as required by the BIPA.
The suit also suggests the company never obtained a signature from employees giving consent to obtain and handle fingerprints.
The suit also expressed that Wendy’s doesn’t provide how long it stores the fingerprints data including for its former employees.
Plaintiffs are further requesting that Wendy’s disclose whether or not the company “sold, leased, traded, or otherwise profited from Plaintiffs’ and the Class’s biometric identifiers or biometric information,” and if Wendy’s or NCR (the company Wendy’s uses) have ever used any of their data and any subsequent class filers’ fingerprints to track or monitor them in any way shape or form.

Within two weeks Russia will deliver to Damascus an S-300 air defense system, previously suspended on a request by Israel. It comes as part of response to the downing of a Russian Il-20 plane amid an Israeli air raid on Syria.
Moscow accused Tel Aviv of failing to inform Russia about its impending attack on targets in Syria, which resulted in a downing of the Russian electronic warfare aircraft by Syrian return fire.
