London reports the Drake estate, once alleged worth up to billions, is a myth. No crown jewels no hidden wealth exists. American claimants were courted by Hartzell and Corey in a long running fraud pattern dating to 1902. Embassy warnings and lawsuits followed, with many affidavits filed and little progress or payment.

Five Day Week Favored in Ukraine Charkov Plan
The Ukrainian Council of Trade Unions backs a 40 hour five day work week replacing the current six day 36 to 48 hour schedule. Workers would gain 26 annual vacation days, up from 14, as 12 holidays are largely added to time off. The move aids workers but would raise production costs, risking affordability for state industries.
