ALERT Teams of the
Emmergency Situations Inspectorate, police, gendarme, army and border police units
have conducted a series of searching operations in a district on the outskirts
of the city of Galati, south-eastern Romania, after on Friday night a citizen
called the emergency number 112 to report the sound of a big explosion in the
area. The residents last night received alert messages announcing the fall of
dangerous objects from the sky advising them to take cover. The Defence
Ministry on Friday night alerted the Air Policing Service after having detected
a group of drones flying towards the Ukrainian territory close to the Romanian
border and notified the General Inspectorate for Emmergency Situations to
instate the alert measures for the population in the counties of Tulcea and
Galati. According to the Defence Ministry on the night of September 29th the
Russian forces launched a new series of strikes against targets in Ukraine. The
same sources say that the army radars detected a possible breach of the national
airspace. No objects fallen from the sky have been identified yet. The ministry
has been informing the allied structures on situations like these, keeping a
permanent contact with them.




ART Almost 100
works of art by Romania’s famous sculptor Constantin Brancusi are on display as
of today in Timisoara, western Romania, in the most important exhibition
dedicated to this major artist in the past half a century. The exhibition
includes sculptures, photos, archive documents and film footages on display at
the local National Art Museum until late January. The exhibits’ total insured
value stays around half a billion euros. Under the suggestive title, Brancusi,
Romanian sources and universal prospects the exhibition invites the public to
explore the way in which Brancusi managed to cross all geographic, historical,
formal and gender borders in order to ensure that special place unattached to
any artistic current. The exhibition has on view a series of artefacts borrowed
from the National Museum of Modern Art, Pompidou Center, in Paris, the Tate
Gallery in London, the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Art Museum in
Bucharest, the Art Museum in Craiova and some private collections. Among the famous
artefacts visitors can admire in Timisoara, there is the Bird in Space, the
Kiss, Mademoiselle Pogany or Sleeping Muse. The aforementioned exhibition is
part of the programme Timisoara – European Capital of Culture.




RUGBY Romania’s rugby
selection will today meet Scotland in their third World Cup match in France.
Romania has so far lost to world leader, Ireland, and the en-titre champion,
South Africa. Scotland has also lost to South Africa but outperformed Toga and
still stands chances to qualify for the competition’s quarter-finals. Scotland
is presently ranking third in the competition with 5 points, while Romania is
on the last position with no points. However, our players are hoping to outperform
Tonga on October 8th and avoid ending the competition in the last position.
