Землетрясение магнитудой более 7,0 зафиксировано на юге Японии.

Российские фронтовые ​бомбардировщики Су-24 и боевой вертолет пролетели над американским эсминцем «Дональд Кук», находящимся сейчас в Балтийском море. Об этом сообщил телеканал CNN.

По информации Reuters, Су-24 прошел на сверхмалой высоте, «оставив след на воде». Полет бомбардировщика сопровождался семью проходами вертолета Ка-27, делавшего снимки корабля с близкого расстояния. Об этом агентству сообщил источник в Минобороны США, пожелавший остаться анонимным.

Опасные сближения, по информации CNN, зафиксировали в международных водах 10 и 12 апреля. Один из этих инцидентов сорвал взлет польского вертолета, который в этот момент готовился подняться с вертолетной площадки эсминца в воздух, добавляет The Wall Street Journal.

Iranian vessels carrying the country’s crude are restricted from entering ports in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, according to a circular sent by a shipping insurance company to its members in February.

The notice said ships that have called to Iran as one of its last three ports of entry will also require approval from the Saudi and Bahraini authorities before entering their waters. Shipbrokers and traders have relayed the same messages since.

 Iranian oil executives have expressed their concern about the message circulating in the market, saying it is only adding to problems they face in selling their crude.

 Saudi Aramco, the state oil company, and The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri) did not respond to requests for comment.

Let’s see what was happening in DB last year:

— April 2014 – Deutsche Bank is forced to increase its capital by 1.5 billion EUR by (organy nadzoru)

— May 2014 – DB is selling 8 billion EUR of assets with 30% rebate to maintain liquidity. Losing cash flow and money is the quickest way to bankruptcy.

— March 2015 – DB fails stress tests. Even Belgian DEXIA who days afterwards was insolvent did pass.

— April 2015 – DB has to pay 2.5 billion USD settlement after LIBOR manipulation scandal investigation comes to conclusion (conspiracy theory about markets manipulation anyone?)

— May 2015 – Authority of one of the DB chairman — Anshu Jain — were broadened to unsurpassed levels, this happens only in the dire conditions of deep crisis.

— 5 June 2015 – Greece falls behind on its payments to the IMF, this has consequences for the DB.

— 6 June 2015 (day after) – Two chairmen – Jain and Fitshen – resign of their post. It is clear situation of abandoning already sinking ship. Jain’s resignation is postponed till end of June while Fitshen agreed to stay till the end of May 2016.

— 9 June 2015 – Rating agency Standard & Poor’s lowers DB rating to BBB+ (lower than the Lehman’s rating on the day of its bankruptcy and only 3 levels higher than ‘junk bonds’).
