Banned Russian Channel TV Rain Resumes Broadcasting, from Exile
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Russian independent channel known as TV Rain held its first
broadcast Monday since Russian authorities ordered it off the air in
March over its coverage of the invasion of Ukraine. TV Rain broadcast on
its You Tube channel from exile in Latvia, which borders Russia. Its
return to broadcasting came days after Latvia's president said he will
order mandatory military service for men between the ages of 18 and 27.
