Sacha Baron Cohen apologizes to Kazakhs for Borat for the first time The actor said that Borat originally had nothing to do with Kazakhstan. The character was initially conceived as an Albanian, with other options, including Moldova, considered later. When the project moved to HBO, Cohen chose Kazakhstan because international audiences knew little about the country. The actor admitted that the Kazakh embassy’s complaint at the beginning of the project was entirely justified. “I’m very sorry. I apologize to you. I can’t imitate your accent. I don’t know how you speak. You don’t look anything like Borat!” Cohen said.

Russia launches Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile from the Sea of Okhotsk The missile was launched from the nuclear-powered submarine Generalissimo Suvorov. Russia's Defense Ministry claims that its warheads successfully reached the designated target area at the test range. The Generalissimo Suvorov is part of Russia's Pacific Fleet and can carry up to 16 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles, which can be equipped with nuclear warheads. Similar tests have been conducted before, including from the same submarine. Officially, the launch was part of routine combat training.
