Traditionally made with lamb or mutton, it may also be made with chicken, turkey, beef, or veal.

Some English food I do miss. by Maria Orlova
[REGNUM] Tetyushi is a popular tourist town on the Volga in Tatarstan. Guests from all over Russia come here to admire the views - there are no problems with this in Tetyushi. However, there are problems with public catering: according to Yandex. Maps, there is only one cafe in the town, Nur. Its rating is 1.6 stars out of 5. Many users are unhappy with the service and the long wait for orders. And it was here that the shawarma was bought, after eating which an 11-year-old girl died.
On July 23, Tetyushi resident Alexey bought shawarma in Nur and treated his daughter to it. A few hours later, the girl began vomiting and had a sharp stomach ache. She was given medicine. Her condition seemed to improve, but the next night the girl felt very bad again. Her parents called an ambulance.
The girl suffered in hospital for five days: first in the Central Regional Hospital of the city of Tetyushi, then in the Children's Regional Clinical Hospital in Kazan. It was not possible to save the child - on July 27, the 11-year-old girl passed away.
"Forensic medical procedures are being carried out, the cause of death is being established. The Tatarstan Ministry of Health expresses condolences to the girl's family and friends," the press release from the Tatarstan Ministry of Health reports.
Food poisoning, dysentery, E. coli, listeria, amoebic dysentery, etc… there are lots of ways that bad food in the Third World kills millions every year. When Mr. Wife travelled in Egypt, India, and parts beyond, he avoided meat and unbottled water, including foods like salads and fruits washed in water. He even brushed his teeth with bottled water. He still got sick from time to time, but not as often and not as badly.
The report also states that the child's body has been sent for examination, which will help determine the cause of death.
The Nur café is currently sealed, and a report has been drawn up against the owner, individual entrepreneur Razikov. The materials on the inspection results have already been submitted to the court. A criminal case has been opened under the article "Provision of services that do not meet safety requirements." "Mo didn't have refrigeration, and neither do we!"
The Telegram channel of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Tatarstan published a video that was filmed inside the Nur cafe: at the entrance there is a sign saying “Sanitary day”, the cafe is closed, and investigators are working inside.
An epidemiological investigation was conducted, including sampling of food products, swabs, and examination of cafe employees.
That which is inspected might be improved. That which is not won’t be.
“Serious violations were identified: failure to comply with sanitary and disinfection regulations, storage and preparation conditions, and personal hygiene rules by staff,” says the official commentary from Rospotrebnadzor in Tatarstan.
In 11 food samples and seven surface swabs, specialists identified coliform bacteria.
User reviews of the establishment on the same Yandex.Maps confirm the conclusions of Rospotrebnadzor.
"The atmosphere there is like in a horror movie. The order was made quickly, in about 5 minutes. I ordered a regular shawarma, it turned out to have small bones and cartilage. The juice had black particles, and there was a fly at the bottom. The price is cheap, the shawarma cost 180 rubles + juice 45 rubles per glass. I do not advise anyone to go here," is one of the typical reviews.
The dead girl's father, Alexey, told journalists from Tatarstan that his daughter had never complained of stomach pains before. However, a few days before the girl's poisoning, her brother had eaten shawarma in this cafe - he was fine.
The shawarma was a few days younger then. Whatever was growing in it hadn’t grown as much.
Officials from the administration of the Tetyushsky municipal district even suggested that the girl could have been poisoned by mushrooms, not shawarma.
In a conversation with the Regnum news agency, Moscow-based general practitioner Tatyana Smolenskaya urges people to wait for the results of pathological examinations, but already now, judging by the nature of the girl’s poisoning, Smolenskaya is leaning towards the shawarma version.
"The fatal role was played by the fact that they called an ambulance too late. Ordinary people, not being doctors, always think that if a person feels better after vomiting, they were given activated carbon, then the danger has passed. But salmonellosis or staph infection continues to develop," the doctor says.
Perhaps, the interlocutor of IA Regnum suggests, the girl had a weakened immune system - at 11 years old, hormonal changes in the body begin, and due to their age, children are especially susceptible to the development of immunopathological reactions.
"Another person would have just had a stomach ache, but here severe intoxication set in. In general, I will remind you once again that shawarma in the heat is a dangerous dish. Especially if the cafe was unsanitary," the doctor comments on the tragedy.
The Tetyushi incident is not the first time this summer that consumers have suffered from shawarma. In mid-July, 17 migrant workers sought medical help with signs of food poisoning after eating shawarma bought at retail outlets in the north of Moscow, on Dmitrovskoye Shosse. All were taken to hospital with a diagnosis of salmonellosis.
In July, it became known that the Russian quality system was preparing to introduce a GOST for shawarma. Roskachestvo representatives conducted inspections of 29 major shawarma brands and only one of them did not record any violations.
In addition, in June in Bashkiria, after almost a year of proceedings, the “shawarma trial” was completed: local entrepreneurs were ordered to pay 800 thousand rubles for moral damages caused to a resident of Salavat after he was poisoned by shawarma in a cafe.
Back in April 2023, a man bought a shawarma and felt unwell shortly after eating it. An ambulance took the victim to the intensive care unit of a city hospital in critical condition. From there, he was discharged with a diagnosis of "severe acute tubulointerstitial nephritis against the background of salmonellosis caused by Salmonella enteritidis, hemodialysis, tracheostomy, tracheal decannulation."
The court partially satisfied the victim's claim. In a conversation with the Regnum news agency, the man said that he had problems with his lungs, and the victim, according to him, had found it more difficult to remember information, which created significant problems for him at work.
In general, doctors offer the main working solution to avoid becoming a victim of shawarma and other fast food: eat it only in trusted places. If there are none, the recipe is even simpler - do not eat at all, wait until you get home.

[BBC] South Korea’s president has urged authorities to do more to "eradicate" the country’s digital sex crime epidemic, amid a flood of deepfake pornography targeting young women. Struggling sex workers unite!
Authorities, journalists and social media users recently identified a large number of chat groups where members were creating and sharing sexually explicit "deepfake" images — including some of underage girls.
Deepfakes are generated using artificial intelligence, and often combine the face of a real person with a fake body.
Ah.. The issue is not the p0rn, but that real girls’ faces are being attached to it, ruining their reputations. Nasty.
South Korea’s media regulator is holding an emergency meeting in the wake of the discoveries.
UNDERAGE VICTIMS South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Tuesday instructed authorities to "thoroughly investigate and address these digital sex crimes to eradicate them".
"Recently, deepfake videos targeting an unspecified number of people have been circulating rapidly on social media," President Yoon said at a cabinet meeting.
"The victims are often minors and the perpetrators are mostly teenagers."
The spate of chat groups, linked to individual schools and universities across the country, were discovered on the social media app Telegram over the past week.
Users, mainly teenage students, would upload photos of people they knew — both classmates and teachers — and other users would then turn them into sexually explicit deepfake images.
The discoveries follow the arrest of the Russian-born founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, on Saturday, after it was alleged that child pornography, drug trafficking and fraud were taking place on the encrypted messaging app.

[Regnum] The founder of the Telegram messenger, billionaire Pavel Durov, has been released by a Paris court under judicial supervision;
…a wise decision. Best to handle carefully those who produce electrons by the barrel…
he is prohibited from leaving France. At the same time, he must post a multi-million dollar bail. This was reported by the city prosecutor's office.
The judge imposed judicial control over Durov.
It is noted that the accused was placed "under judicial supervision with the obligation to post bail in the amount of 5 million euros." He must also appear at the police station twice a week, and is prohibited from leaving the territory of France.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, the French Foreign Ministry had complaints about the procedure for obtaining citizenship of the republic by Pavel Durov. He received a French passport in 2021. Durov criticized the moderation in the messenger and refused to cooperate with the European authorities. In addition, he condemned the French authorities for the terrorist attacks in Paris and Saint-Denis in 2015.
On August 24, Durov was detained at Le Bourget Airport in the suburbs of Paris. The city prosecutor's office reported that the messenger founder was charged with 12 crimes, including complicity in the creation of an online platform for the purpose of carrying out illegal financial transactions, and failure to provide information or documents required for wiretapping permitted by law at the request of the competent French authorities.
It is known that the billionaire has met with French President Emmanuel Macron on several occasions. At the time of his arrest, Durov announced a planned dinner with Macron at the Elysee Palace.
Pavel Durov holds citizenship in Russia, the UAE, France and Saint Kitts and Nevis (Caribbean Islands).
France has requested information from Switzerland related to the accusation against Durov of allegedly abusing his son.
In 2023, Irina Bolgar, who claims to be the mother of Durov's three children, filed a lawsuit against him in a Swiss court. She claimed that Durov had physically abused his youngest son five times. The French National Police's juvenile protection service also launched an investigation into Durov.
Pavel Durov, the founder of the popular Telegram messenger, faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of 500 thousand euros for administering an online platform for making illegal transactions. Details of the case were reported by the Paris prosecutor's office.
A preliminary investigation into the case of the Telegram founder in France was opened in February 2024. The investigation was coordinated by OFMIN (Office for the Protection of Minors).
According to updated information, Pavel Durov is accused of ten criminal offenses and misdemeanors. The prosecutor's office brought charges against the billionaire on August 28.
Durov is accused of committing a number of crimes and offences: complicity in the administration of an online platform for conducting illegal transactions by an organised group; failure to provide information or documents upon request from authorised bodies; concealment of crimes as part of an organised criminal group; provision of cryptology services, as well as import of cryptology tools that do not exclusively provide authentication or integrity verification functions without prior notice.
Durov is also accused of distributing an image of a minor that is pornographic in nature; drug trafficking; fraud by an organized group; complicity in the transfer or provision without legal grounds of equipment, tools, programs or data developed or adapted for hacking and access to the functioning of an automated data processing system; and complicity in a criminal community with the purpose of committing crimes.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Pavel Durov was released by a Paris court on August 28 under supervision; he is prohibited from leaving France. He must post a bail of 5 million euros and report to the police station twice a week.
Durov was detained at Le Bourget Airport in the suburbs of Paris on August 24. He allegedly arrived for dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron.

[Daily Mail, where Amica gets its news] Cities America are spraying chemicals through their streets in response to a rise in several deadly mosquito-borne illnesses, in an unprecedented move.
Massachusetts, New York, Texas and California are among the states deploying pesticides to repel the increasingly disease-ridden insects.
The decision comes on the heels of an onslaught of mosquito-borne illnesses throughout the US, including West Nile Virus, which hospitalized White House Covid doctor Anthony Fauci this month, 'Triple E', a brain-swelling disease that has killed two Americans so far this year, and 'sloth fever', a disease transmitted from sloths to mosquitos.
Officials are spraying the streets at night when people are less likely to be outside to reduce residents' exposure to the chemicals, which can be harmful to breathe in or ingest. The doses will also be 'ultra-low volume'.
Other areas have taken equally drastic measures, including imposing curfews to limit people's exposure to mosquito bites.
A number of Americans have died from mosquito-borne illnesses this year, including a New Hampshire man who died from EEE earlier this month. It was the state's first human case in 10 years.
In Massachusetts, towns in southern Worcester County and Plymouth County have taken an aggressive approach to fighting mosquito-borne illness this month after an 80 year old man from Worcester County caught EEE - the state's first human case since 2020.
EEE is a rare but serious virus that spreads to humans via infected mosquito bites. It causes swelling in the brain, and roughly 30 percent of infected people do not survive.
To curb the spread of this virus, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health will spray the pesticide Anvil 10+10 from trucks and planes overnight, starting shortly after dusk and ending in the early morning.
In addition to pesticide spraying, officials in Oxford, MA instated a voluntary curfew urging residents to stay inside after 6p.m. to avoid mosquito bites.
And in Plymouth, MA, officials have ordered parks to close from dusk until dawn when mosquitos are most active.
Meanwhile, New York City, Arlington, and San Jose will be battling a different disease: West Nile Virus. WNV is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental US.
In most cases, the virus causes no symptoms or mild flu-like symptoms. But roughly one in 150 cases turn severe and life-threatening, causing swelling of the brain, the membranes surrounding the brain or the spinal cord.
In New York City, there have been six severe cases of West Nile Virus this year. None of them were fatal, but the city has moved to spray pesticides in parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn to reduce the risk.

The city's Department of Health is using trucks to spray the pesticides Anvil 10+10, Duet or MERUS 3 overnight.
Texas has reported 37 cases West Nile Virus in 2024 - more than any other US state. One of these cases was fatal.
Recently, three mosquitos in the city of Arlington tested positive for the virus, prompting city officials to schedule overnight pesticide spraying in select locations.
In select areas throughout Arlington, contractors will spray a pesticide called Aqua-Reslin, which kills adult mosquitos.
In Santa Clara County, California, a resident died of West Nile Virus earlier this month, and another was hospitalized. West-Nile-positive mosquitos have also been detected in San Jose and the surrounding area.
The pesticides used for this treatment are Zenivex E4 and Merus 3.0 - both of which are highly effective mosquito-control treatments.
All four of these cities will spray pesticides at 'ultra-low volume,' which means they will not pose significant health risks to residents and no one will have to relocate during the treatment.
Officials have also schedule spraying at night when people are less likely to be outside to reduce residents' exposure to these chemicals.
Some data suggests that the risk of mosquito-borne illness is rising in the US as rising global temps allow infected mosquitos to expand their range.
Cases of Dengue Fever, for example, increased over 800 percent in the US between 2021 and 2022, according to Vector Disease Control International.
In most cases, mosquito-borne illnesses are not fatal. But they can make an infected person very sick.
As cases of mosquito-borne illnesses rise in the US, cities may have to spray pesticides more frequently.
But there are things you can do to protect yourself from mosquito bites and reduce your risk of disease.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends wearing loose-fitting clothes that cover your skin, applying insect repellant, and putting screens on windows and doors to prevent them from getting inside.
