Britain was behind a Hollywood-style plot to spy on Russia by hiding a highly-sophisticated transmitter in a fake rock planted on a Moscow street.
In 2006, Russian television broadcast a film showing shadowy figures placing a rock somewhere in Moscow.

The Russian security service, the FSB, also accused British security services of making covert payments to pro-democracy and human rights groups.

India has said the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) report, which ranks it 28th out of 32 weapon-usable countries, is “misleading” in content and may prompt people to reach the wrong conclusions.
- The political bias in the report is “quite obvious.” It places Australia, which produces only uranium and has no meaningful nuclear facilities, higher up in nuclear safety than India.
However, India — as the NTI report itself states — scores high on most nuclear safety matters in respect of its international obligations.
The sources also point out that India's three-stage programme in fact focusses on technological solutions to safety wherein the nuclear material is secured within reactors as part of the closed fuel cycle.
