Meeting between heads of Russian and US intelligence agencies was "useful," says Lavrov



A meeting between Russian and US intelligence chiefs in November was "useful" but did not produce any "breakthroughs," said Russia's foreign minister on Wednesday.


Sergey Naryshkin, director of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, and William Burns, CIA director, met at the headquarters of Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization in Ankara on November 14.


"They know that we will respond seriously to serious requests: Biden asked Putin for Naryshkin to meet with Burns, and the meeting took place," Sergey Lavrov said during a press conference on the results of Russia’s diplomatic activities in 2022.


"Yes, it was quite serious and useful, although it did not bring any breakthroughs," he said.


"We did not break this dialogue. We have not broken off any of the areas of our cooperation. The USA broke them off," said Lavrov. "We are not going to run after them and say let’s be friends again."

On Tuesday, Naryshkin said that another meeting with Burns was possible, according to Russian state news agency TASS.


Asked whether another such meeting could take place, Naryshkin said "this is possible," adding the time for a new potential meeting would be determined "by agreement" between the parties, according to TASS.

Aya Ueto is Japan's TV commercial queen for the second straight year, according to media research company Nihon Monitor. Ueto, 25, topped the chart by advertising for 13 companies this year. Ueto has been involved in a number of campaigns that have run for more than a year, including those for Softbank's famous Shirato family series in which the paternal figure is played by a white dog, and suit company Aoki. The data suggested that Ueto's high visibility in commercials has made her a familiar face to most of the nation. Actresses held all three of the top positions in the ranking with Saki Aibu, 25, second with appearances in ads for 12 companies this year, and Aoi Miyazaki, 25, coming in third with 11.

Keiko Kitagawa is once again the face that Japanese women want to have

In a survey held by Oricon Japan last month, some 500 Japanese females aged 10 to 50-plus chose the face of the Japanese female celebrity that they want to have the most. Topping the ranking is actress Keiko Kitagawa, who was also the first in last year’s ranking. Here are the top 10 Japanese celebrities whose beauty is most envied among women in Japan. This consecutive win not only marks Kitagawa’s sixth No. 1 place in this ranking that has been running for the 14th time, it is also the first time since 2009 when an actress who is also a mum topped the ranking. That winner 11 years ago was none other than Nanako Matsushima, who is known for starring in the 1998 horror film Ring. Although Kitagawa had just given birth to a girl last September, her beauty remains dazzling as she attended a movie promotion event earlier this month, after her maternity leave. The survey participants have described her looks as “perfect” and “gorgeous”, and even wanted to “live a day with this face”. Had...
