In Derbent, Dagestan, unidentified perpetrators killed the imam of a local mosque and his relatives. The attackers killed priest Kalimulla Ibragimov, his father and brother.

The attack was carried out at about 6:30 a.m. in "Airport" micro-district. The attackers fired their automatic guns at the Toyota vehicle, in which the men were staying. They died from wounds on the spot, official spokespeople for the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation said.

One of the victims was 49-year-old imam of one of the city mosques, Kalimulla Ibragimov. Two others were his relatives - the father and elder brother, NTV said. The police added that the men were going to the mosque for morning prayers.

"The incident is not the first one of the kind. Attacks against the clergy and religious figures have become a practice that lasts for years, unfortunately. So far, the mechanism to protect these people has not been invented," the Director of the Center for Islamic Studies of the North Caucasus, Ruslan Gireiev, told Pravda.Ru.

"No one knows which way the wind is blowing. They usually blame separatists for such crimes. This means that one doesn't need any investigation. This has been going on for years. No such crime has been solved," said the expert.

In Dagestan, attacks on the clergy occur frequently. On September 15^th, the imam of the mosque of the village of Kadar was killed in the Buinaksk region of Dagestan. Two attackers broke into the house of the priest, shot him dead and escaped.

Sandy continues to batter the US East Coast. A quarter of the New York subway system has been flooded. A frightening picture appeared on Twitter, which showed a shark swimming in a flooded street in a residential area of the city. The super storm has claimed at least 14 lives. The damage from the storm to the U.S. economy may reach $10-20 billion, says RBC.

'The New York City subway system is 108 years old, but it has never faced a disaster as devastating as what we experienced last night,' said Joseph Lhota, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).

'Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on our entire transportation system, in every borough and county of the region. It has brought down trees, ripped out power and inundated tunnels, rail yards and bus depots,' he said.

The tunnels of seven lines of the New York subway have been flooded.  

The hurricane, according to the latest data, has killed 14 people in the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and West Virginia, as well as in Canada's Toronto. A few more people have been hospitalized. In total, the disaster in the Caribbean basin and North America, has killed as many as 70 people.

The rise of the water level in the ocean poses a threat to Oyster Creek nuclear power plant in the state of New Jersey. If the water level continues to rise, it can damage the pumps, which allow water to cool spent nuclear fuel, BBCRussian.com said.

An explosion occurred at an electrical substation in New York, which is in the epicenter of the hurricane. More than 5.5 million Americans have been left without electricity.

On August 13, at the meeting with the leadership of the Presidential Administration and the Government of Yakutia, Yegor Borisov summarized the work of the past week that was filled with important events for the republic.

In July, Yakutsk hosted the 12th International Forum "Roads of Russia - 21st century", organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Transport of Russia and the Federal Road Agency. They discussed the prospects of development of road infrastructure in the country and the adoption of specific solutions. This is an increase in state support for the maintenance of national roads of federal importance - "Lena," "Kolyma," and "Viluy."

After the visit of the Minister of Transport of Russia Maxim Sokolov to Yakutia, and meetings with Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Arkady Dvorkovich, conditions for the construction of a bridge across the Lena were specified. The construction of the bridge will be implemented in two stages. The first stage will enable car travel, the second stage - the railway. In the best case scenario the construction of the first stage will begin in 2013.

Yegor Borisov attended a meeting with the Russian Security Council Secretary in Krasnoyarsk, where he addressed the issues of transport security in the regions of Siberia and the Far East, including the Arctic zone. The head of Yakutia said that Krasnoyarsk at the federal level must implement a comprehensive target program for the development of the Arctic, including its transportation, and not a subprogram, as proposed today by the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia.

The head of Yakutia also attended a meeting led by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in Novosibirsk. The participants discussed issues of regional air transportation. Yegor Borisov spoke about the need for subsidies from the federal budget for preferential categories of citizens living in the Far East.

Yegor Borisov announced the agreements reached during the meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich in Moscow. In addition to the approved construction of the bridge across the Lena river, the most difficult aspects concerning the implementation of the integrated schemes of development of productive forces, Transport and Energy of the Republic, especially the development of the South Yakutian projects, were discussed.

"There is a need to adjust the project to reflect the changes situation in the global markets, in particular, uranium. Some things have to be reviewed. This is an objective picture. However, the projects remain on the agenda, they are supported by the Russian government and all interested parties," said Yegor Borisov.

Summing up the visit to Yakutia of Minister of Agriculture of Russia Nikolai Fyodorov, Yegor Borisov said that his main goal for the country was achieved. "The Minister saw that because of the climatic peculiarities of our country, we cannot meet the uniform federal standards for a number of positions. He confirmed that a uniform approach to all regions in the respective programs will be reconsidered. Plus, he fully shares our opinion that the regions that maintain their agriculture should be adequately supported. The size of federal grants to support the reindeer and horse breeding country will increase significantly. We used to get no more than 100-150 million rubles, this year it will be the 800 million".

A few days ago Youth Educational Forum "SahaSeliger" was completed in Us Khatyn. Yegor Borisov gave a positive estimate to the event, saying that the Forum has established itself as an interesting and useful platform for a dialogue of the talented creative young people of the Far East. "SahaSeliger" is to be held annually.

Valery Shantsev: food logistics center will be created in the Nizhny Novgorod region

The governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region Valery Shantsev discussed construction in the region of a logistic center for food with Sergei Lisovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee for Agriculture and Food Policy. Such centers exist in many countries, for example, in Poland there are 12 of them, and in France - 56. Russia does not have similar structures.

Nizhny Novgorod region is one of the key logistics centers through which traffic flows in many directions. Therefore, the creation of food logistics center in the region is necessary. In addition, the area is conveniently located in relation to the capital and is a powerful central part of Russia for agricultural base.

The development of the economy without such centers today is ineffective. Agricultural producers are experiencing difficulties selling their products. The lack of a developed logistics negatively affects retailers. A Logistics Center will take care of processing, marketing and storage of produce.

Construction of the center will require investments amounting to ten billion rubles. The initial implementation cost in 2013 would amount to two billion rubles. In his blog Shantsev wrote that "the project is very important for the region. This is not just a question of food security, but also a great opportunity to strengthen the link between agriculture and trade. It's no secret that today many farmers experience difficulties with selling their own products - it is a matter of distribution channels, packing of goods, the application of bar codes, etc.

These logistics centers will help farmers to bring their goods to customers. Farmers will bring their produce to the center where the food will be subjected to primary processing, storage and preparation for wholesale sales that will take place in the center. In short, the logistics center is a link between producer and consumer".
