“Philipp Budeikin was found guilty of inciting two girls, 16 and 17, to commit suicide,” the 72.ru online newspaper quoted the judge’s aide Elvira Yakubova as saying.

Budeikin, also known by the moniker “Fox” was detained in November 2016 at his mother’s apartment in the Moscow region.

In May 2017, he pleaded guilty to inciting the suicides of 15 teenagers throughout Russia, but investigators linked him to just two cases.

Budeikin previously said his victims were "biological waste" and that his suicide game was "cleansing society."

A year before, the Russian investigative newspaper Novaya Gazeta reported that more than 130 teenagers had fallen victim to the online phenomenon, which led to a formal investigation.

The online game that incites mostly young people to take their lives spans over 50 days until the victims are instructed to commit suicide to win the game.

The game’s title “Blue Whale” is a reference to how whales sometimes purposefully wash ashore to die.

The contentious issue of steel tariffs was expected to be a difficult topic at the talks, but the two sides did not issue any statements on this.
The US blames Chinese excess capacity for a global steel glut that is hurting US producers, and has threatened to impose tariffs.
US Steel stocks were sharply higher as investors interpreted silence on the issue as an increased likelihood of US action on Chinese steel.
After the market closed, President Donald Trump told a reporter that steel tariffs "could happen", according to Reuters news agency.
Low expectations
Experts thought it was unlikely that the talks would produce any significant agreements on the most thorny issues.
In addition to steel, the US was expected to push Beijing on its subsidies for state-owned enterprises.
China was expected to focus on US refusals to sell Beijing advanced technology products.
It was unclear whether the talks covered US demands for China to put more pressure on North Korea over its nuclear and missile program.
Mr Trump has previously signalled that China might obtain improved trade terms in exchange for help on North Korea.
In May, the US and China reached a trade deal that opens the Chinese market to US credit rating agencies and credit card companies.
China also agreed to lift its ban on US beef imports and accept US shipments of liquefied natural gas.

The country's crude iron ore production jumped 5% from a year ago to 124.7 million tonnes (on a 58–65% Fe content basis tonnage is closer to 25m–30m) in June, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Wednesday. Year to date crude iron ore output is up 9.2%.

Number two producer Rio Tinto said in March 30m tonnes of domestic Chinese capacity had already returned to the market compared to the 140 million that exited over the previous three years.

China's refined copper production was up 12% percent from the same time last year to 768,000 tonnes, the highest rate in 18 months. If this rate of production is sustained 2017 would comfortably outpace last year's total of 8.44m tonnes of refined copper production.

China's smelters working at capacity helps to explain the decline in imports of refined metal. Data released last week showed China imported 2.23 million tonnes of copper in the first half of this year, down 18.4% compared to same period last year.

However, imports of copper concentrate continued to grow from record levels reached last year. June imports came in at 1.4m tonnes, up 4.4% compared to the same month last year, while imports for the first six months totalled 8.3 million tonnes, up 3.6%.

Zinc production was flat at 544,000 tonnes in June and down 1.2% for the first six months of the year, while lead production declined 4% to 437,000 tonnes for the month. For the first six months of the year, lead output is up 5% compared to H1 2016.

Data released on Monday showed Chinese steel output last month rose 5.7% from the year before to a record 73.23 million tonnes, surpassing April's all-time high of 72.78 million tonnes as Shanghai rebar prices hit three-and-half year highs.

Aluminium production jumped 7.4% year-on-year to 2.93 million tonnes in June, exceeding December's record of 2.89 million tonnes.

China is responsible for producing half the world's steel, consume more than 70% of the seaborne iron ore trade and some 45% of world copper output.

Congratulating the President on his election, Ambassador Galt expressed readiness to strengthen bilateral relations as 2017 marks the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the US and Mongolia.

For his part, President Kh.Battulga proposed two certain issues for cooperation. The new President sought the US assistance in bringing back offshore money to Mongolia.

Secondly, the President addressed the issue of export of Mongolian-made knitted and sewn products to the US. He mentioned about a 1992 decision concerning tax-exempt export of knitted and sewn products to the country, saying that Mongolian companies couldn’t use the opportunity that time. The President inquired about possibilities to restart this business.

Ambassador Galt expressed willingness to help Mongolia fight corruption and expose illegal money in offshore regions, and said the issue regarding export will be studied. The Ambassador also informed the President of the US’ interest in working with Mongolia in agriculture and renewable energy spheres, adding that the first projects and programs are being realized. The Millennium Challenge Corporation’s Second Compact Agreement with Mongolia was also mentioned.

The sides discussed means of further solidifying bilateral relationship and possibilities of constructive economic cooperation.

With the decision, excise tax on gasoline with 90 or less octane is now MNT 160 thousand per ton and 90 or more octane is MNT 180 thousand per ton. Gasoline imported through Ereentsav border crossing will be paying MNT 30 thousand, while the diesel fuels will be paying MNT 50 thousand.

Ts.Dashdorj, Minister of Mining and Heavy Industry ordered B.Lkhagva, Head of the Authority for Fair Competition and Consumer Protection, to take actions on sustaining supply, import and retail price of gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as monitoring the implementation.

80 to 90 percent of the total fuel imports pass through Sukhbaatar, Zamiin-Uud and Altanbulag border crossings. When increasing the excise tax, the Government considered it possible for fuel importing entities to not increase retail price.

For instance, the research proved the possibilities for AI-80, AI-92, gasoline and diesel fuel importers to earn 0.5-6 percent net profit without increasing retail price. And can increase them up to 3-9 percent by better management and cutting cost.

The exchange rate of MNT against USD has weakened in the second half of last year, increasing the revenues of importing entities and setting the condition of retail price increase. Therefore, the Government is taking immediate actions and lowered the excise tax to stabilize the prize.

Since the situation has changed now, the Government decided to increase the excise tax without changing the price.

The decision comes amid suspicion that the major German automaker faked emissions test results.

Daimler officials made the announcement on Tuesday. They predict that the recall will cost about 220 million euros, or over 250 million dollars.

Prosecutors searched Daimler's offices in May over the alleged use of a type of software that keeps emissions of harmful substances low during tests.

Local media outlets reported this month that more than 1 million vehicles were affected.

Daimler Chairman Dieter Zetsche said in a statement that the public debate about diesel engines is creating uncertainty among customers.

He said that Daimler has decided to undertake additional measures to reassure drivers of diesel cars and to boost confidence in diesel technology.
