why does the url https://rt.com change to https://rt-english.com when I click the "Enter" button.
It looks to me like the RT's URL was hacked yesterday. I received a warning from Firefox urging me to go back because of suspected for malware found when I attempted to log into RT. I backed off as suggested. I have successfully logged into RT hundreds of times using without any problem, using my Firefox bookmark. The Firefox warning told me that the suspected malware was due to the fact that https was missing in the address, which is highly irregular for the RT website. The details of the address in the bookmark is https:///www.rt.com, yet when I clicked the enter button, the https had disappeared. RT streams news on Rumble and I successfully used it instead of the RT website.
Later in the day I found information that the RT website could now be used. I tried it using my bookmark. RT opened but there ere changes in the appearance on the page. There was big new banner at the top of the page announcing that I was on RT English. All the images except one were missing and I was unable to access RT news streaming. Today I again checking the bookmark address I have used for a lng time. Today I find the Firefox URL still gives me https://www.rt.com but when I press the enter button the address now changes to https://rt-english.com. When I manually asked Firefox to open rt-english.com, Firefox told me that address does not exist.
This is the best I can do to explain the problem I am encountering, and I need help to resolve the issue. Perhaps other Firefox users have run into the problem and would be grateful for help from Firefox. I am a using Firefox and it is an excellent browser. Thanks for all your good work.

They have some problems since big part of Yandex infrastructure has been transferred to a cloud.
This is not our issue, please reach out to RT.
Thanks, I sensed the problem was related to malware; since Firefox warned me about having found something suspicious and even added that it was highly unlikely that RT would expose it's website to a url that does not use https:// Is a time coming soon when only an internet programmer will be able to use the internet.
RT must be aware of the issues that are cropping up due to their transfer to Yandex infrastructure and I hope will sort it out.
I find it hard to rule out malware, knowing how schizophrenic about Russia the western elite has become. RT has them shaking in their boots and there is nothing that would make them happier than using any means to shutdown access according to their interjpretation of what they pretend is RT's propaganda. This present issue would not be the only time they have tried.
No, they just didn't manage to rotate their server certificates on time, and caused downtime to its own services. (Whether the international version was connected to the outage isn't obvious, but after they resolved their server trust global traffic started getting the international version nonetheless.)
No conspiracy. Simple maintenance. Somebody made a boo boo.
