After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, most major Western fast-food chains closed up shop, sold off assets, and exited the Russian market. This was particularly true of the highly visible food sector. Major Western food and drink chains, including McDonald’s, Domino’s Pizza, Starbucks, KFC, Pizza Hut, Hard Rock Cafe, and the Jamie Oliver Group, have all since left Russia. A small cohort of six American fast-food chains decided otherwise. The franchises of Carl’s Jr., Papa John’s, Costa Coffee, Burger King, and TGI Fridays have continued to operate, business as usual. Of these six, Subway and Ca...

New York (AFP) - A 63-year-old man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to US federal terrorism charges for shooting 10 people on the New York subway last year.

Prosecutors said James wore an orange reflective jacket and yellow hardhat to make him look like a subway employee for carrying out his attack. He detonated two smoke canisters and then fired more than 30 times on morning rush hour commuters at the ...
