Three Broomfield residents were hospitalized following a house fire on Monday just before 1 a.m.
According to a press release from North Metro Fire District, firefighters responded to a house fire on the 1100 block of Lilac Street in Broomfield, where they saw smoke coming from a two-story home.
All four family members living in the home escaped on their own before the firefighters arrived, but three sustained injuries during the evacuation. The injured family members were transported to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital.
According to NMFD Public Information Officer Sara Farris, the cause was ruled accidental due to an electrically charged wire catching nearby combustible materials on fire.
Firefighters were able to rescue the family’s dog and provided oxygen to the dog before transporting her to a local veterinary hospital for additional care. Two rabbits were also safely rescued.
Because of fire and smoke damage the house is currently uninhabitable. A victim’s advocate has been helping the family with accommodations.

Aflaq was a fierce defender of Arab nationalism and his life revolved around the idea of breaking the shackles of the colonial forces that ruled the Middle East following the partition of the Ottoman Empire.
On April 7, exactly 75 years ago, the Baath Party was founded with an aim to promote pan-Arabism in Syria.
Michel Aflaq is considered to be the father and founder of the Baath (renaissance) ideology, which emerged as a nationalist reaction to the imperialist order in the Middle East.
Born in Damascus in 1910, Aflaq was a member of an Orthodox Christian family, who were traders by profession. After completing his secondary education in French-language schools in Syria, he studied philosophy at Sorbonne University in Paris between 1929 and 1932, where he was influenced by the ideas of the philosopher Henri-Louis Bergson and became interested in Marxism.
In France, he met Salah al-Din al-Bitar, with whom he would later establish the Baath Movement. After returning to Syria, he taught at schools.
The duo founded the Arab Ihya Movement in 1940. They tried to form a party two years later, but the French mandate, which administered Syria, blocked the move. Following this, they changed the movement's name to the Arab Baath Movement.
When Zaki al-Arsuzi joined Aflaq and Bitar in 1947, the movement turned into a political party. Around the same time, the party held its first congress, where Aflaq was elected as the party's spiritual leader and mentor. Al Bitar was elected as its general secretary.
The party's media organ, the "al-Baath" newspaper, was founded in 1948. Due to the defeat in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Aflaq sharply criticised the government of the time and organised protest demonstrations. As a result of these criticisms, he was imprisoned for a time.
Under Hashim al-Atassi's rule, Aflaq was sworn in as education minister and remained in the post until December 1949.
In 1951, Adib Shishakli took over the administration in a coup d'etat. When he seized power, he banned the activities of all political parties. Due to the increasing pressures, Aflaq fled to Lebanon with Salah al-Din al-Bitar and mobilised all opposition parties to oust Shishakli.
In 1953, the Arab Socialist Baath Party was formed in Lebanon, and a year later, Shishakli's rule ended with another coup. Aflaq returned to Syria to participate in new elections, in which the Baath Party won 22 seats in the parliament.
The defeat of the Arab armies in the war with Israel in 1948 increased the anger and intolerance of the people against the mandates and kingdoms. In 1952, the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdel Nasser carried out a coup against King Farouk and seized the government, and then the republican system was declared as the new form of government in the country. Gamal Abdel Nasser became the country's president in 1954.
In 1958, the United Arab Republic of Syria and Egypt was established, and Gamal Abdel Nasser was appointed as its leader. But in 1963, Baathist officers, who received the support of Aflaq, took over the administration in a coup d'etat. The conflicts between military and civilian Baathists began to come to the fore.
As Aflaq lost his party's support in 1965, his close associate Al Bitar was appointed as the prime minister in the new administration. During this period, the military and civil conflicts within the party continued to increase. Pro-military Baathists dismissed those close to civilian Baathists, and civilian Baathists returned the favour. In 1966, Baathist officers under the leadership of Hafez al-Assad and Salah Jadid staged a coup again. Many civilian leaders of the party fled the country.
Aflaq first fled to Beirut with the help of some of his trusted friends in the army, and after a while, he fled from Beirut to Brazil. After the coup in Syria by Assad and Jadid, the Baath Party split in two as the Iraqi and Syrian Baath Parties. Jadid was appointed as the leader of the Syrian Baath Party. Zaki al-Arsuzi was declared as the new mentor of the Baath movement.
However, Iraqi Baathists led by Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr and Saddam Hussein thought of Aflaq as the leader and mentor of the movement. Iraqi Baathists elected Aflaq as the party's general secretary at the congress held in Beirut in 1968. But several conflicts between Aflaq and Bitar came to light, and their paths diverged after this congress. Bitar declared that he ultimately rejected the Baathist ideology.
Aflaq moved to Baghdad after being elected general secretary at the Beirut Congress. The Iraqi Baathists' failure to support the Palestine Liberation Organization and Yasser Arafat caused a rift between Aflaq and Iraq's then Baathist leader, Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr. Aflaq reacted to this situation by leaving Baghdad in 1970 and moved to Beirut. He returned to Iraq before the Lebanese civil war began. After Aflaq and Bitar, Assad and Jadid became the new leaders of Syria. However, the defeat in the Six-Day War caused a rift between Assad and Jadid. On November 13, 1970, Assad staged a coup against Jadid and took the leadership seat.
After returning to Iraq, Aflaq stayed away from politics but continued as the party's general secretary. He devoted most of his time to writing books.
He died on June 23, 1989, in Paris. His body was brought from Paris to Baghdad. Saddam Hussein announced that Aflaq had converted to Islam before he died and took the name Ahmed, but the claim is yet to be ascertained. He was buried with Islamic rituals in the mausoleum built by Hussein.

Tokyo Shares Edge Up After US Gains
Umer Jamshaid Published April 08, 2022 | 12:50 PM
Tokyo, April 8 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Apr, 2022 ) :Tokyo stocks ended higher on Friday, tracking gains on Wall Street as investors searched for new clues, while eyeing US monetary policy moves to address inflation.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 0.36 percent or 97.23 points at 26,985.80, while the broader Topix index added 0.21 percent, or 3.89 points, to 1,896.79.
The Dollar stood at 124.04 Yen in Asian trade, against 123.95 yen in New York late Thursday.
The market enjoyed general support as investors cheered overnight gains on Wall Street where the Dow added 0.3 percent.
But a lack of fresh news deflated the early momentum, and the Nikkei dropped into negative territory shortly before the lunch break while investors searched for opportunities to buy back, analysts said.
"After the early round of buying, the Nikkei was driven down and sent underwater on a sell-on-rally pressure," Okasan Online Securities said.
"The Nikkei rebounded and firmed toward the end of the session," it said.
The Nikkei lacked a clear sense of direction, SMBC Nikko Securities noted.
Among major shares, Nintendo added 1.00 percent to 63,810 yen. Sony Group rose 1.25 percent to 12,195 yen.
Technology firm Advantest rose 0.69 percent to 8,750 yen.
Panasonic lost 0.44 percent to 1,130.0 yen. Toyota fell 3.37 percent to 2,095.5 yen. Uniqlo-operator Fast Retailing edged down 0.02 percent to 60,170 yen.

Leclerc outpaces world champion Verstappen to go fastest in Melbourne
Issued on:
Melbourne (AFP) – Ferrari's Charles Leclerc said Friday there was still work to do despite going quickest in second practice at the Australian Grand Prix ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, with Lewis Hamilton only managing 13th.
Monaco's Leclerc, the early season championship leader, was outpaced by team-mate Carlos Sainz in the first 60-minute run at a revamped Albert Park.
But Leclerc fired an ominous warning in the second session with a leading time of 1min 18.978 secs, with reigning world champion Verstappen 0.245secs behind after a late surge. Sainz went third-fastest.
It is early days in the season, with Melbourne only the third race, but a title tussle between Leclerc and Verstappen is forming nicely.
"A bit of a harder Friday for me. FP1 was a bit tricky, I improved quite a bit in FP2, but there is still quite a bit of work to do," said Leclerc, 24, who won the season-opening race in Bahrain.
"I don't think anybody really put the (perfect) lap together today. We need to keep focusing on ourself. Tomorrow is qualifying and hopefully we have a good day. We need to do another step forward, and let's push."
Verstappen, who won in Saudi Arabia two weeks ago, struggled with handling early on, saying on the team radio: "I'm still having the same issues, mate, I can't turn the car" after straightlining into the Turn 10 chicane.
He headed back to the pits after five laps, but returned to ensure Ferrari and Red Bull were again dominant.
"We were lacking a bit of balance, then I think for the final run, we changed the car around a bit and felt a lot happier," said Verstappen.
"A tiny bit off Ferrari but I do think that we can maybe make it a little bit closer."
Veteran Fernando Alonso, who won at Albert Park 16 years ago, was a surprise fourth after a blistering 1:19.537 in his Alpine, ahead of Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull.
Esteban Ocon in the other Alpine secured sixth with 2019 winner Valtteri Bottas a strong seventh for Alfa Romeo, while both the McLarens made the top 10.
Hamilton struggles again
But seven-time world champion Hamilton continued to toil, as he did at the opening two races.
His Mercedes has had problems with porpoising -– bouncing at high speed -– this season after a radical design overhaul and there are no new upgrades for Melbourne.
Both he and teammate George Russell hit trouble. Russell, who finished 11th, slid through Turn 2 and Hamilton bounced onto gravel at Turn 14.
Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel's return to action after missing Bahrain and Saudi Arabia with Covid also went badly wrong.
After setting some respectable times, the German jumped out of his Aston Martin with 14 minutes of the first practice left as smoke billowed from the back.
"Forget it, it's gone," he said on the radio as the red flags came out and he grabbed a fire extinguisher to deal with the problem.
Once the cars had returned to the pit lane, he was seen driving around the track on a moped to return to the paddock, waving to fans, and was set to visit the stewards later to explain himself.
He failed to appear for the second practice with his team tweeting that his "car will not be ready to run" in a fresh setback for the three-time Melbourne champion.
It was another miserable day for Aston Martin -- who are yet to score a point -- with the red flags out with 10 minutes left after some bodywork flew off Lance Stroll's car. He finished 14th.

Market pulp contract and spot prices have rallied in North America over the past month – with few signs that supply chains were improving and throttled back production at Canadian mills crimping availability. Benchmark northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) effective list prices closed in March at $1,615 per tonne, up $100 per tonne, according to two Fastmarkets’ PPI Pulp & Paper Week (P&PW) surveys.
Southern bleached softwood kraft (SBSK) supplies also dimmed because US producers focused on the robust fluff pulp market, reluctant to spare tonnes of fluff production that are coveted offshore, where prices skyrocketed. Final US SBSK effective list prices rose to $1,580, up $75.
After the year kicked off with unplanned downtime at major Canadian producers such as Canfor Pulp, Paper Excellence, and West Fraser, supply availability was expected to have improved by now. Instead, global supply chain bottlenecks worsened, and railroad operators proved unable to deliver enough railcars to mills, forcing various producers to slow down production.
Pulp buyers unable to get hands on supply
In many cases, producers didn’t announce the downtime even as they ran mills at 20%-30% below capacity and quietly found alternate routes to move pulp to customers such as trucking routes. Sometimes, they simply didn’t ship tonnes to buyers, who then scoured spot markets hoping to find tonnes. Taking that avenue has come at sharply higher prices, though.
“They can announce $100 (hikes) but who cares – we can’t get it. That’s been the problem in March, both in hardwood and softwood. Nobody’s got anything,” said an NBSK buyer contact, alluding to the lack of official price announcements on April business. “Then with all the logistics mess (one producer) just didn’t ship. They didn’t get rail cars so they didn’t ship to us.”
No producer announced a $100 hike on April business in the USA. Instead, the buyer was referring to expectations of NBSK spot market momentum, a factor that’s driven momentum in contract markets.
US NBSK spot market prices rose another $20 per tonne in P&PW’s survey through Mar. 30, bringing the latest spot prices to $930-970 per tonne net delivered to the US East and Midwest. The $20 rise came after a bigger $50 surge in mid-March, so the month-over-month average increase totaled $70, according to P&PW data.
Major producer Domtar announced an $80 per tonne price increase on NBSK and SBSK, effective April 1, but fewer official price hike notices on March and April business has occurred vs prior bull runs. Sources believe that’s because some producers are reluctant to alienate customers with price hike announcements during a time of increasing anger over shipment delays.
One producer contact said on April 1 that he decided not to announce an April price increase, not because of a lack of upwards momentum, but because US spot markets are continuing to rally, which would help sort out how much contract prices rise in April with or without announcements.
March NBSK price matches 2021 high
As it stands, with the March NBSK list closing at $1,615, effective list prices have now matched the all-time high of 2021 – an exceptional rally driven by unplanned mill downtime that topped out at the same list price before reversing in the summer of 2021.
“That $1,615 price was the top end of the market in 2021. I don’t think it’s coincidental they announced that,” another NBSK buyer source recently noted. “The rail issue is really bad. We know trucking is really bad… I’m hopeful we are close to the worst, and things improve.”
One improvement for the North American supply chain is the lock-out at Canadian Pacific (CP) only lasted two days, from Mar. 20-22 before management and Teamsters Canada Rail Union officials agreed to settle a wage and benefits dispute through arbitration. A longer lock-out or strike would’ve threatened mayhem for Canada-to-USA rail car deliveries, sources said (P&PW, Mar. 11, p. 1).
BHK ‘demand is crazy.’ In US BHK markets, effective list prices increased $90/tonne across-the-board, with low supplies leading three key grades to all close at $1,390, according to P&PW. At least two major Brazilian producers have announced $50 hikes on bleached eucalyptus kraft (BEK) in the USA, effective April 1.
“Demand is crazy. Customers are asking for extra volume,” said a BEK producer contact this week. “Logistics is terrible. Vessels are delayed by two weeks on average (and) inland transportation is even worse.”
Unlike Canadian and US mills, Latin American BEK producers are finding very little if any truck availability and when they do find it, the cost is three to four times higher than a year ago, added the BEK producer source whose experience was typical.
Brazilian BEK producers announce $100 increases to China
Suzano and Eldorado separately announced North American list prices of $1,460 and $1,250 in Europe with their $50 increases. Brazilian BEK producers have also announced $100 increases to China but most did not state new list or net price levels. Market participants mostly cited the new April allotments at $780 per tonne net CIF with the $100 hikes.
West Fraser informed customers in China that its April NBSK price would rise to $1,000 per tonne net CIF, and bleached chemi-thermomechanical (BCTMP) prices will increase to $730 per tonne net CIF, effective immediately, market participants told P&PW on March 31.
Vancouver-headquartered West Fraser started offering its new NBSK allotment late last week at $1,000 per tonne net CIF, effective with April orders, contacts said. The firm didn’t announce how much its NBSK rise was month-over-month, but market participants said that the $1,000 net level was up more than $100. By April 1, the firm had already sold out its April allotment at $1,000 net and it’s sold out in China until May business opens, contacts said.
The most aggressive monthly hike in China came from Paper Excellence (PE), which announced to customers that NBSK from its Crofton, BC, pulp mill will increase to $1,050-1,070 net CIF, effective immediately on March 15, sources told P&PW. PE cited exceptionally high inflation, unforeseen developments in global supply chains, and significant cost pressures.
With the most recent prices peaking at $1,000, market participants had mixed reactions on whether NBSK would soar even higher over the next month. Upwards pressure continues because supply chains remain backlogged and maintenance downtime season is coming up fast. Downwards pressures include growing Covid-19 lockdowns and expanding paper mill downtime in China.
“The resurgence of Covid in China, zero tolerance policy of the government, restrictions on inter-provincial movements, lockdowns, reduced operation rates,” are all potential drags, an Asian pulp seller contact said on April 1. “But inventories in both ports and users seem to be low. I started to feel that the pulp price cannot move up any further (but) maybe I’m just too pessimistic.”
Meantime, West Fraser’s new price of $730 per tonne net CIF applies to both softwood and hardwood BCTMP, effective immediately on March 31. The BCTMP hike would be up $80 vs its $650 net CIF price on March business, contacts said. China’s BCTMP market has rallied on unplanned downtime as well as the sharp runs in NBSK and BEK, among other comparable grades.
Canfor Pulp takes more BCTMP downtime
Canfor Pulp announced a minimum six-week extension of BCTMP production curtailment at its Taylor Pulp mill in British Columbia. The firm cited ongoing transportation shortages that have resulted in continued high finished product inventories at the pulp mill. The curtailment extension will further reduce the production of BCTMP by at least 25,000 tonnes, Canfor Pulp said in a release. The mill already lost at least 25,000 tonnes of output from a previous curtailment the firm announced on February 16.
“Unfortunately, the ongoing rail transportation situation has not improved, and we have no choice but to extend the current production curtailment,” said Canfor Pulp VP of operations Kevin Anderson. “We are very disappointed in the ongoing impact this is having on our employees, their families and the community.”

BEIJING - Dozens of Chinese firms have built software that uses artificial intelligence to sort data collected on residents, amid high demand from authorities seeking to upgrade their surveillance tools, a Reuters review of government documents shows.
According to more than 50 publicly available documents examined by Reuters, dozens of entities in China have over the past four years bought such software, known as "one person, one file". The technology improves on existing software, which simply collects data but leaves it to people to organise.
“The system has the ability to learn independently and can optimize the accuracy of file creation as the amount of data increases. (Faces that are) partially blocked, masked, or wearing glasses, and low-resolution portraits can also be archived relatively accurately,” according to a tender published in July by the public security department of Henan, China’s third-largest province by population.
Henan's department of public security did not respond to requests for comment about the system and its uses.
The new software improves on Beijing's current approach to surveillance. Although China's existing systems can collect data on individuals, law enforcement and other users have been left to organise it.
Another limitation of current surveillance software is its inability to connect an individual’s personal details to a real-time location except at security checkpoints such as those in airports, according to Jeffrey Ding, a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation.
One person, one file "is a way of sorting information that makes it easier to track individuals," said Mareike Ohlberg, a Berlin-based senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund.
China's Department of Public Security, which oversees regional police authorities, did not respond to a request for comment about one person, one file and its surveillance uses. Besides the police units, 10 bids were opened by Chinese Communist Party bodies responsible for political and legal affairs. China's Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission declined to comment.
The tenders examined by Reuters represent a fraction of such efforts by Chinese police units and Party bodies to upgrade surveillance networks by tapping into the power of big data and AI, according to three industry experts interviewed for this story.
According to government documents, some of the software's users, such as schools, wanted to monitor unfamiliar faces outside their compounds.
The majority, such as police units in southwestern Sichuan province's Ngawa prefecture, mainly populated by Tibetans, ordered it for more explicit security purposes. The Ngawa tender describes the software as being for "maintaining political security, social stability and peace among the people."
Ngawa's department of public security did not respond to requests for comment.
Beijing says its monitoring is crucial to combating crime and has been key to its efforts to fight the spread of COVID-19. Human rights activists such as Human Rights Watch say that the country is building a surveillance state that infringes on privacy and unfairly targets certain groups, such the Uyghur Muslim minority.
The Reuters review shows that local authorities across the country, including in highly populated districts of Beijing and underdeveloped provinces like Gansu, have opened at least 50 tenders in the four years since the first patent application, 32 of which were opened for bidding in 2021. Twenty-two tech companies, including Sensetime, Huawei, Megvii, Cloudwalk, Dahua, and the cloud division of Baidu, now offer such software, according to a Reuters review.
Sensetime declined to comment. Megvii, Cloudwalk, Dahua, and the cloud division of Baidu did not respond to requests for comment.
Huawei said in a statement that a partner had developed the one person, one file application in its smart city platform. The company declined to comment on the patent applications.
"Huawei does not develop or sell applications that target any specific group of people," the company said.
The documents Reuters reviewed span 22 of China's 31 main administrative divisions, and all levels of provincial government, from regional public security departments to Party offices for a single neighbourhood.
The new systems aim to make sense of the giant troves of data such entities collect, using complex algorithms and machine learning to create customised files for individuals, according to the government tenders. The files update themselves automatically as the software sorts data.
A wide range of challenges can complicate implementation, however. Bureaucracy and even cost can create a fragmented and disjointed nationwide network, three AI and surveillance experts told Reuters.
Reuters found announcements for successful bids for more than half of the 50 procurement documents analysed, with values between a few million yuan and close to 200 million yuan.
SYSTEM UPGRADE
China blanketed its cities with surveillance cameras in a 2015-2020 campaign it described as "sharp eyes" and is striving to do the same across rural areas. The development and adoption of the "one person, one file" software began around the same time.
Ohlberg, the researcher, said the earliest mention she had seen of one person, one file was from 2016, in a 200-page surveillance feasibility study by Shawan county in Xinjiang, for acquiring a computer system that could “automatically identify and investigate key persons involved in terrorism and (threatening social) stability.” A Shawan county official declined to comment.
In 2016, China's domestic security chief at the time, Meng Jianzhu, wrote in a state-run journal that big data was the key to finding crime patterns and trends. Two years later, the system was referenced in a speech to industry executives given by Li Ziqing, then-director of the Research Center for Biometrics and Security Technology of the state-run Chinese Academy of Sciences. Li also was chief scientist at AuthenMetric, a Beijing-based facial recognition company. Neither the research centre nor AuthenMetric responded to requests for comment.
"The ultimate core technology of big data’s (application to) security is one person, one file," Li said in the 2018 speech at an AI forum in Shenzhen, according to a transcript of the speech published by local media and shared on AuthenMetric’s WeChat public account.
The Party's Political and Legal Affairs Commission, which Meng led in 2016, declined to comment. Meng could not be reached for comment. Li did not respond to a request for comment.
The industry developed quickly. By 2021, Huawei, Sensetime, and 26 other Chinese tech companies had filed patent applications with the World Intellectual Property Organization for file archiving and image clustering algorithms.
A 2021 Huawei patent application for a "person database partitioning method and device" that mentioned one person, one file said that "as smart cameras become more popular in the future, the number of captured facial images in a city will grow to trillions per year”.
SAFE CITIES
The 50 tenders Reuters analysed give varying amounts of detail on how the software would be used.
Some mentioned "one person, one file" as a single entry on a list of needed items for surveillance systems. Others gave detailed descriptions.
Nine of the tenders indicated the software would be used with facial recognition technology that could, the documents specified, identify whether a passerby was Uyghur, connecting to early warning systems for the police and creating archives of Uyghur faces.
One tender published in February 2020 by a Party organ responsible for an area in the southeastern island province of Hainan, for instance, sought a database of Uyghur and Tibetan residents to facilitate “finding the information of persons involved in terrorism.”
The Hainan authorities did not respond to a request for comment.
More than a dozen tenders mention the need to combat terrorism and “maintain stability”, a catch-all term that human rights activists say is often used to mean repressing dissent.
At least four of the tenders said the software should be able to pull information from the individual's social media accounts. Half of the tenders said the software would be used to compile and analyse personal details such as relatives, social circles, vehicle records, marriage status, and shopping habits.

Hamann cites Ronaldo's age as he questions merits of new Lewandowski contract before slamming Bayern's 'weak leadership'
Robert Lewandowski is seeing a summer transfer away from Bayern Munich speculated on and Dietmar Hamann is not convinced that the Polish striker should be offered a new contract in order to make him stay as 37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has shown at Manchester United that football “gets more difficult with age”.
The prolific Polish striker has plundered 339 goals through 368 appearances for the reigning German champions, with tallies of 40 or more registered in each of the last seven seasons.
He is showing no sign of slowing down, but is also 33 years of age and Hamann is not convinced that extending his deal at the Allianz Arena through to 2025 would be the best option for all concerned – with even all-time greats seeing their powers wane once they pass their mid-30s.
Editors' Picks
- 'New elements'? Mbappe would be making a major mistake staying at PSG without huge changes
- 'I was not a good manager' - How Man City boss Guardiola went from spiky to serene under pressure
- No Ronaldo or Maguire? How Ten Hag's Man Utd might play
- 'I went to the games and then straight to the tattoo shop!' - Football fans and their ink
What has been said?
Former Bayern midfielder Hamann told GOAL and SPOX of extension talk in Bavaria: “There is no reason not to extend with [Manuel] Neuer or [Thomas] Muller.
“With Lewandowski you have to see whether he wants more than two years. Then of course you have to think about it. At the end of the contract he would be nearly 37. You can see with Ronaldo that it gets more difficult with age.”
The ex-Germany international added: “With Muller and Neuer I say, yes, extend them. But of course they can't earn more. You have to make sure that the contracts are made even more performance-related.
“If you have five to six players who earn 20 million euros, you have to claim that you get to the semi-finals in the Champions League. Of course you can be eliminated, but it's always about the process.”
The bigger picture
Bayern are sweating on a place in the last four of the Champions League this season after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Villarreal in the first leg of their quarter-final showdown.
They have also made uncomfortable headlines for briefly having 12 men on the field during a 4-1 Bundesliga win over Freiburg – who have appealed against the outcome of that contest – and Hamann believes a lack of leadership on and off the field is undermining efforts in Munich.
He said of the substitution shambles against Freiburg: “None of the Bavarians have admitted their guilt. They held up the board with the wrong number.
“I don't know what [Marcel] Sabitzer was thinking either. If you go in, of course you only do that when the substituted player has left the field.
“The crowning glory was the self-important quote from Michael Gerlinger, who said: 'We are convinced that the DFB sports court can only come to a decision according to the applicable regulations: The result of our 4:1 victory is retained'. That cannot be beaten in terms of self-importance.
“That is weak leadership. If I make a mistake, I have to admit it to myself. But now to push Freiburg into the corner of unsportsmanlike conduct is bottomless.”
Hamann added on on-field issues for Bayern: “They are far too open at the back. They lack a leader a bit there - one that wins a decisive duel or shows a reaction.
“For me, a leader is someone who makes others better. They don't have one at the back at the moment.
“[Niklas] Sule could do that, but he's not playing at the moment. The four or five players in front of [Joshua] Kimmich are individuals who you can usually always rely on. But when a game goes like it did in Villarreal, you need some impulse from behind.”

Helen Ward: Wales' top scorer ready for her 100th cap
Last updated on .From the section Wales
Helen Ward is honoured at the prospect of becoming the latest member of Wales' 100-cap club, but the country's record scorer is happy to admit she never expected to reach this milestone.
Indeed, for the past few years Ward has worried whether she would even get to finish her career on her own terms.
Unable to play or even train during the efforts to combat coronavirus, Ward feared her career was all but over.
Now she stands on the verge of a fairy-tale finish as Wales chase a first appearance at a major women's tournament.
"Qualifying for a World Cup would mean everything," Ward told BBC Sport Wales. "What else could beat that? It has to be the pinnacle."
The honour of reaching 100 caps
Having made her Wales debut in 2008 - scoring in a win over Luxembourg - Ward's career, like that of team-mates Jess Fishlock, Sophie Ingle and Natasha Harding, has bridged the amateur and professional eras of women's football.
Ward, however, was not playing in the top flight of English football when Covid-19 restrictions came into force, meaning she was unable to play or train for much of the lockdown period, a time when she publicly admitted she was considering retirement.
Now she is only one cap away from reaching 100, but Ward admits she is surprised to still be playing.
"I have had doubts, 100%. Ask Razza [Rhiannon Roberts, Liverpool and Wales defender] how many times I have sat in our room and 'retired' - it would add up to a lot of times.
"Covid was tough. The second big lockdown was a time I considered retiring, but I am so glad I didn't as I know I would have regretted ending my career.
"I am delighted to still be around."
Ward says the current professional environment with the national team is completely different from her earlier days representing Wales.
"It's incomparable," she said. "When I made my debut, Tucks [Adrian Tucker] was manager and he was part time, juggling it with club commitments," Ward said.
"We have always been asking for more, ever since. Each manager who has come in has built on the work of their predecessor and many of us have been playing the whole time.
"That is what I would put a lot of our success down to. We've had some dips and bad moments, but Wales' women's football has been on an upward curve for my whole career."
Playing football after starting a family
Being Wales' top scorer and one of the most selected players in Welsh football history is a giant accolade, but is all the more remarkable given Ward has had two children during her career.
"I never thought I would carry on playing after I started a family, but I'm so glad I did," she said.
"It's tricky because you always have to make sure the kids are looked after first and foremost.
"But the older they've got the more I've appreciated having them around.
"There was a video of a goal I scored at the weekend and I could see my little boy jumping up in the picture.
"I've watched it over and over again to see his reaction more than the goal itself. Those moments are amazing, and something I never thought I do."
Ward had her children at a time where there was no maternity support for players written into contracts, something that only came into the game in England in January 2022.
"It's great professional clubs have to offer that now, it's big... I didn't have any of those benefits.
"But perhaps myself and other mothers still playing now, we've been the ones to drive that and garnered change - it is great.
"My team-mates now can have a family and not worry about their professional future. They can have a family when it is right for them and not when it is right for their football club.
"I've been really fortunate in the way my career's gone and I'm grateful for every step [in the game] I've been able to see."
The ultimate aim
Ward is set to win her 100th cap during this camp, either at home against group leaders France on Friday or in Kazakhstan on Tuesday.
However, personal accolades are far from Ward's ultimate aim, which is to represent Wales at a major tournament. The 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is perhaps the last realistic chance for a player who turns 36 this month.
"We want to get there and compete, that is the aim," Ward added.
"We have been building and we have learned a lot. We have a lot more in us than we believed before - our performances against top teams have been very encouraging.
"The squad is in a really good place now."

Lucknow, April 8 The stage is set for elections to 36 seats of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council, polling for which will take place on Saturday.
The ruling BJP has already unanimously won nine of the 36 council seats.
The results will be declared on April 12.
The BJP had 35 MLCs in the 100-member Council and the nine seats have now taken its tally to 44. The party is only seven short of majority.
The Samajwadi Party has 17 members while the BSP has four and the Congress and BJP allies Apna Dal(S) and Nishad Party have one member each. Two members belong to the teachers' group (non-political) and two are Independent.
The Legislative Council has 37 seats vacant and elections are being held for 36 seats through local bodies.
One seat fell vacant following the death of SP MLC and leader of opposition Ahmad Hassan during the assembly polls.
A senior BJP functionary said: "If the BJP gets a majority in both Houses, passing of bills will be easy and the government will further cement its position in the state legislature."
The BJP has been making a concerted effort to sweep the polls.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has held virtual meetings with party's elected representatives.
He has appealed to MLAs, zila panchayat members, block development council members, mayors, municipal chairpersons, village pradhans and corporators to work for the victory of the BJP's candidates.
All ministers, MLAs and MPs have been asked to reach out to the voters to ensure an impressive victory.
BJP's state organisational secretary Sunil Bansal and his team are keeping a close eye on the day-to-day campaigning for the Council polls.

Salah in Premier League: Stability brings success, Zaki claims
Ex-Egypt attacker Amr Zaki believes Mohamed Salah has had more success than him in the Premier League because of the stability a permanent contract offers.
The now 38-year-old had short loan stints on loan in England with Wigan Athletic and Hull City in 2008/2009 and 2010, respectively.
Editors' Picks
- 'New elements'? Mbappe would be making a major mistake staying at PSG without huge changes
- 'I was not a good manager' - How Man City boss Guardiola went from spiky to serene under pressure
- No Ronaldo or Maguire? How Ten Hag's Man Utd might play
- 'I went to the games and then straight to the tattoo shop!' - Football fans and their ink
While with the former, he scored 10 goals in his first 22 matches before falling out with then-manager Steve Bruce and went on to score just one goal afterward.
At Hull, he did not have much success, and left after making just six appearances.
However, Salah has been a hit at Liverpool, after getting limited playing time at Chelsea who opted to sell him to Roma.
Zaki has now explained why he feels Salah has had continued to have success in the Premier League after he was an instant hit as well.
"I know that my start in the Premier League was stronger than Salah’s start in the same league but the difference is that he had signed a permanent contract and wasn’t on loan like me. This gave him stability, whereas I played for Wigan on loan. Also [Salah] started his career and life in Europe," Zaki told Mehwar TV as quoted by Kingfut.
"The second difference is that Salah went to Europe from Arab Contractors. He didn’t have the fame and money that Al Ahly and Zamalek players get, so he had to fight to prove himself and make a name for himself in Europe.
"You will find many examples of players who went to Europe from outside the ‘big’ teams and were successful and continued their career outside such as El-Mohammady, Ahmed Hassan and Abdelzaher El-Saka.
"The third thing is Salah’s professionalism and the fact that he developed as a player overseas. Players who leave at a young age are given a chance by club presidents to actually succeed even if they’re from Al Ahly or Zamalek because they have not become stars yet.
"I hope that club presidents in Egypt won’t prevent players from going abroad and give them the full opportunity by selling them."
Zaki scored 30 goals for the Pharaohs between 2004 and 2013.

Lockdowns in Shanghai and other Chinese cities pose a growing threat to the economy
By Laura He, CNN Business
China’s unwavering commitment to stamping out Covid by locking down big cities such as Shanghai threatens to deal a hefty shock to its vast economy, place more strain on global supply chains and further fuel inflation.
Shanghai — home to China’s leading financial center and some of its largest sea and airports — has been under lockdown for 12 days, and there’s no sign of it ending.
Small businesses have been hit hard, with shops and restaurants being forced to shut down. Tesla, as well as many Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers, are unclear about when they can restart their factories. Meanwhile, port delays are getting worse, and air freight rates are soaring, putting even more pressure on global trade.
The stringent restrictions have dispelled any expectations that the country may relax its zero-tolerance approach towards Covid-19.
“The surging cases in Shanghai convinced top leaders that there is no middle ground between zero-Covid and living with Covid. From now on, snap lockdown could be the prevailing strategy,” said Larry Hu, chief economist for Greater China at Macquarie, in a research report this week.
President Xi Jinping has pledged to “minimize” the economic impact of his Covid policy, but the deteriorating situation in Shanghai — and the extended lockdown — raise tough questions about Beijing’s approach to outbreaks of Omicron, a much more infectious variant of the original virus.
“The Omicron variant is highly infectious, and it has become increasingly challenging for China to reach its ‘zero-Covid’ objectives while most other countries opt for a ‘living with Covid’ approach,” Ting Lu, managing director and chief China economist for Nomura, wrote in a note earlier this week.
He believes that China’s rising cases and escalating lockdowns in Shanghai and several other cities will suppress activity across a wide range of sectors, including in-person services, travel, logistics, construction and some manufacturing.
“The economic costs could be staggering,” Lu said, adding that global investors may be “underestimating” the impact of China’s zero-Covid policy on its economy and the markets.
Businesses hurting
Since last month, full or partial lockdowns have been implemented in about 23 cities, according to latest estimates by Nomura. Those cities have around 193 million residents combined — 13.6% of China’s population — and contribute 23 trillion yuan ($3.6 trillion) worth of GDP — 22% of the country’s economy.
“These figures could significantly underestimate the full impact, as many other cities have been mass testing district by district, and mobility has been significantly restricted in most parts of China,” Lu said.
By Thursday, at least 40 Chinese companies had been forced to suspend operations in Shanghai and other regions, according to stock exchange filings in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing.
Meanwhile, more than 90 Taiwanese companies have reported that their operations in Shanghai and the neighboring city of Kunshan were affected by the lockdowns, including printed circuit board manufacturer Unimicron Technology and top bike maker Giant Manufacturing, according to filings to the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
Growing wounds
The World Bank and some investment banks have recently warned that the damage caused by China’s zero-Covid policy to the economy is growing.
The World Bank on Tuesday slashed China’s 2022 growth forecast, estimating that the world’s second largest economy will now grow at 5% this year, sharply down from last year’s 8.1%. That’s also lower than China’s official target of about 5.5%.
“The continuation of China’s zero-Covid policies in the face of the Omicron variant will hurt economic activity in China and have negative spillovers onto the rest of the region,” the World Bank said in its latest economic update for the East Asia and Pacific region.
Goldman Sachs on Monday maintained its 2022 growth forecast for China at 4.5%, a full point below the official growth target. But the bank pointed out that the latest outbreak and the lockdown in Shanghai are starting to “weigh more heavily” on economic activity in China.
Citi, meanwhile, has said that the Omicron wave could drag down China’s GDP growth by 1 percentage point in the first quarter. A prolonged Omicron wave could deduct between 0.6 and 0.9 percentage point from GDP growth in the second quarter, it estimated in a report this week.
It could get worse
The Shanghai lockdown comes at a time when the country’s economy is already struggling.
Services and manufacturing were both hit hard last month. The Caixin Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for services recorded its sharpest decline since the initial Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan in February 2020.
The Caixin manufacturing PMI also contracted at the quickest pace in two years. The deterioration in economic conditions was also reflected in official PMI data.
April’s data could be even worse, economists warned, as lockdowns continue to hurt domestic demand.
“Following several rounds of lockdowns, many individuals are worn out, unemployed or underemployed, and have drained their savings to a level at which they now have to reduce spending,” said Lu from Nomura.
Spillover effects
The crisis in China is also a problem for the world.
The World Bank labeled China’s slowdown as one of the major shocks facing Asian economies this year, along with the war in Ukraine and rate hikes by the Fed.
The situation in Shanghai, which has the world’s largest container port, has caused shipping delays to worsen, putting more pressure on global supply chains. Although Chinese authorities said the Shanghai port remains operational, industry data showed last week that the number of vessels waiting to load or discharge had skyrocketed to an all-time high.
“Shutdowns affect supply chains from many angles including factory shutdowns, port slowdowns and shortages of truck drivers,” said Zvi Schreiber, CEO of Hong Kong-based freight booking platform Freightos.
It could cause “extra inflationary pressures” on goods imported from China.
Air freight rates are rising too. All passenger flights to Shanghai, one of the world’s busiest airports, have been canceled. Schreiber said air cargo rates between Shanghai and northern Europe shot up 43% last week from the level before the outbreak.
Factory closures in Shanghai and neighboring cities could add to the disruptions to key supply chains for electronics and automotives.
For example, Kunshan-based Unimicron Technology supplies printed circuit boards to customers such as Apple, while Eson Precision is an affiliate of Foxconn, which makes iPhones. Eson Precision also supplies components to Tesla.
“It is very likely that given the severity of the current outbreak in China, electronics and automotive supply chains will experience significant disruption due to supplier outages in the coming 7-10 days,” said Julie Gerdeman, CEO of supply chain analytics firm Everstream.

Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson officially out
AURORA, Colo. — Aurora Police Department Chief Vanessa Wilson is officially out after weeks of speculation she would no longer be the chief at the embattled department.
Aurora City Manager Jim Twombly sent Wilson a termination letter Wednesday and confirmed the decision to “search for new leadership” for the department is effective immediately. Division Chief Chris Juul has been tapped to temporarily oversee operations at APD.
“It is clear that Chief Wilson has prioritized community involvement. However, the police chief also needs to effectively manage the operations of the department, effectively engage with staff, build morale, and validate employee feedback. To provide the level of public safety that our community deserves, a change in leadership must occur,” said City Manager Jim Twombly.
During a press conference in response to the firing, Twombly said the decision came down to two main concerns of overall management and leadership of the department. When asked to provide specific examples, Twombly would not elaborate any further beyond saying attrition at the department was also a factor, and that he had talked with other Aurora officers and reviewed Wilson’s record on his own.
The city management team will immediately work to name an interim chief in the next two to three weeks. The city will also begin a nationwide search for a permanent chief of police for Aurora with the hope of naming a new chief in the next six months.
Twombly confirmed Wilson is entitled to the severance package agreed upon when she was hired, which is 12 months’ pay of $207,358.42 and benefits.
Wilson and her attorneys respond
Wilson’s legal counsel, King and Greisen, said her firing is “without cause” as part of an effort for conservative city council members to diminish Wilson’s credibility.
“These council members have made it clear that they did not support Chief Wilson’s efforts to implement the Court order to reform the police department and eradicate the systemic racism found by the Colorado Attorney General in the wake of the death of Elijah McClain,” a statement from Wilson’s attorneys said.
Her counsel also claimed the City of Aurora and city council have “engaged in a conspiracy to leak misinformation to the media” and responsibility for the department’s “long-standing” problems is falsely being placed on Wilson.
"In reality, Chief Wilson made numerous attempts to have good faith discussions with the City leadership about these issues and repeatedly sought the resources necessary to resolve them from the City Council. City leadership refused these efforts, preferring instead to smear the reputation of a dedicated police officer who has served the Aurora Police Department for over two decades, and courageously agreed to take the helm in one of the City’s most difficult times to bring needed reforms.”
In a statement provided by her attorneys, Wilson said she was thankful for the opportunity and plans to continue working in law enforcement.
“We must all remain dedicated to practices that ensure the safety and well-being of our communities and the fair treatment of all citizens,” the statement from Wilson says. “I am proud of the progress this department has made during the myriad of challenges that we have faced. I hope that the Aurora community understands that the amazing women and men of the Aurora police department care about them and will continue to protect and serve regardless of who leads this agency.”
How Wilson’s firing came about
Wilson’s ouster has been anticipated for two weeks.
On March 23, Denver7 broke that Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson was planning on leaving the department in the coming weeks over concerns regarding her performance leading the department. The following day, Wilson’s attorney Paula Greisen said the chief does not plan to resign or retire, but acknowledged that the city manager did request a meeting to discuss an exit strategy with the chief last week.
And it comes a day after an independent report was released that criticized a backlog of more than 2,500 criminal investigations still awaiting processing by the records department, which a consulting firm hired by the city called a “high-liability matter.”
Among those crimes still awaiting further investigation, according to the report, were allegations involving child sexual abuse, murder and carjacking.Twombly said in a lengthy statement Tuesday the city was already working to address some of the issues but called the preliminary report’s findings “alarming.”
Two members of the city council majority said Tuesday they had concerns over Wilson’s leadership, and the mayor pro tem said the report revealed “a very serious problem and there must be accountability.”
With respect to the backlog, Aurora spokesperson Ryan Luby said as of Tuesday, it was down to 1,252 pending reports – 721 general offense reports and 531 supplementary reports. The firm is still expected to issue a final report.
Twombly said Wednesday that Wilson had requested 10 new positions for the embattled Records Section, but he spoke with other city officials about possibly trying to add somewhere between 0 and 10 new positions. After putting together a team to determine what might be needed to address the backlog, they decided to put out a request for proposal and hired PRI to consult on addressing the backlog.
The Aurora Sentinel reported Tuesday that the author of the PRI Management Group, Ed Claughton, has previously been questioned over his objectivity and his social media posts in which he criticized the Black Lives Matter movement.
Twombly said Wednesday the city “didn’t know about those.”
“We don’t ever check political backgrounds of consultants we hired or what they’ve posted. There’s not a litmus test on whether they are conservative, or Democrats, or whatever,” Twombly said.
PRI said in a statement on Thursday it started the review in January. It said its "staffing study" is still in progress. It also said the study was never "intended to disparage, smear, evaluate, or impact the employment of the Chief of Police."
"Our work is based on fact-finding, objective analysis and was completed as per the requirements of our scope of work in response to a competitive solicitation for these services," the company said in a statement.
"PRI has never had any contact or communication with any City of Aurora elected official. PRI has never had any contact or discussion with any City of Aurora employee regarding the performance of the Chief of Police, and is unequivocally not involved in any effort regarding her termination," the company added.
Mayor Mike Coffman said Wednesday he supported Twombly’s decision.
“I had some concerns as the situation changed in Aurora, and crime became an increasing issue, about her leadership. But my concerns never arose to a level of saying that we ought to replace the police chief,” Coffman said. “However, this report [about the backlogged cases] and the lack of leadership and making sure that process worked effectively, I think, compromised the public safety of our city. I think that was, and is, a monumental failure of leadership.”
But Twombly said Wilson was “not fired because of the records problem.”
“It really comes down to a lack of confidence on my part for her to be able to lead the department,” he said, when pressed by reporters.
Twombly said he was made aware of the March 14 report from PRI Management Group regarding the records backlog, which was obtained by Denver7 on Tuesday and issued to city council on the same day, on March 18, and not sooner, as Wilson’s attorney had claimed Tuesday.
He said the first discussion regarding Wilson’s performance happened “approximately a month ago” and that he felt Wilson was given enough time to turn around the litany of problems the department has faced for years.
Twombly also said while he had “heard rumors” that some city council members wanted to fire him if he did not fire Wilson, he had “never been told that” directly. When pressed if any part of his decision to fire Wilson came to save his own job, Twombly said: “That’s never been a consideration, no.”
City Council member Alison Coombs said Wednesday she felt Wilson's firing "sends the wrong message."
"The message that it sends is that it's time to stop our focus on reform, stop our focus on accountability, and change to a tough-on-crime posture. And it send the message that those two things are mutually exclusive," Coombs said. "It also sends the message that those council members and police union leaders that have been attacking the chief and trying to undermine her credibility are in charge, that whatever city council and city management wants can bee directed by folks that, in my opinion, are often bad actors."
Coombs said she felt it was "irresponsible" to blame Wilson for the backlog, saying she felt Wilson was not given the resources to properly address it. She also said she felt the move undermined the city's credibility.
"We can say we want reform, but when we usher out unceremoniously the chief that's been the face of that reform, I think that sends a message to the community that our commitment goes only as far as will be tolerated by those people that don't want reform, that we're only willing to go so far so fast," she added. "And so I think that makes it difficult to credibly implement the consent decree."
New chief will have to continue reform work
The firing comes as the city has been working to make improvements department-wide.
In September 2021, Attorney General Phil Weiser released a report based on a 14-month investigation saying the Aurora Police Department uses excessive force and racially biased police practices and violates state and federal laws as part of its patterns and practices. Based on the report, Aurora City Council voted to enter into a consent decree to fix issues involving policies, training, record keeping and hiring practices. IntegrAssure, a Florida-based risk management consultancy, was selected in February as the consent decree monitor to provide independent oversight over the department.
However, Twombly said the decision to find a new police chief will have an impact on the city's ability to fulfill the terms of the consent decree, though he said the city has already begun implementing changes as part of their "New Way" plan .
Weiser, in a statement, said the consent decree to improve policing and build trust in Aurora is with the city and “not any one person or agency” and thanked Wilson for her service to the community.
Rep. Jason Crow, the Democrat who represents Aurora, said he was grateful to Wilson for her 23 years of service to the department and work over the past two years.
“The Colorado Attorney General’s Patterns and Practices report made clear that reform is needed and I believe that Chief Wilson’s firing is a setback in that effort,” Crow said. “The next chief must be someone who, like Chief Wilson, is committed to addressing rising crime in the community in a fair and equitable way and in full compliance with the Consent Decree.”
Colorado Democrats from Aurora issued a statement Wednesday saying the firing of Wilson will "set back critical and long overdue efforts" that are currently underway at the department.
"Chief Wilson has been working hard to build a police force that reflects the diversity of our community and hold officers accountable for racially biased actions. Her firing in the middle of these efforts sends a terrible message to the police force and to the community about Aurora's commitment to reforming these practices," the statement says. "We commend Chief Wilson for her steadfast commitment to making our communities safer and rebuilding our community’s trust in our city’s police department."
Christopher Juul, who will be acting chief while the city searches for a permanent chief, is currently a division chief who oversees patrol operations. He joined APD in June 2004 as a lateral officer, then worked his way up to sergeant, then to the lieutenant who oversaw the training academy. In January 2018 he was promoted to captain and was the executive officer over District 1, and he was promoted to commander of District 1 in February 2020.
He was reassigned to be the commander of special operations before he was promoted to division chief in January 2021.
The city said Juul has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Washburn University. He started his police career in Amarillo, Texas, in 1994.
Wilson has been with the Aurora Police Department for 25 years, starting as a patrol officer, then a recruiter before becoming a detective. She was promoted to sergeant in 2006 and to lieutenant in 2009, and in 2012, was appointed the Executive Officer of the Major Investigations Bureau. She was also the first woman to be named division chief within the department in April 2015.
She was selected as interim chief in December 2019 and assumed the role on Jan. 1, 2020 after Chief Nick Metz retired . Wilson acknowledged at the time that she was taking over the department “at a very turbulent time” when the community was "angry” following the in-custody death of Elijah McClain and the handling of Agent Nate Meier’s on-duty intoxicated driving incident .
After a months-long nationwide search, Wilson was officially named the chief of the department in August 2020 as the department was facing even more scrutiny over McClain's death and on the same day it was revealed Aurora officers detained a Black family after mistaking their SUV for a stolen motorcycle from another state.
This is a developing news story and will be updated.

The market average selling price (ASP) has gone up over the last year or two and finding a good entry-level smartphone has become challenging, as a result. There’s another thing that’s changed silently alongside, which is that the amount of bloat or adware inside budget phones has –also— gone up significantly. We know that this helps subsidise these phones, keeping their prices low, but to what end, that’s the question no one seems to be asking. While you take a minute to ponder over that, Motorola has launched a new phone called the G22 in India that wants to break that stereotype.
Not only does this budget phone run Android 12 right out of the gate, but Motorola is also promising an “ad-free, near stock” experience. Moreover, it is one of the very few brands in the market today with a clear-cut support roadmap. The Moto G22 will get 3 years of “assured” security updates. There is no word on the number of major Android OS updates it will be eligible for, but hey, if you think about it, what other brand is giving you that information, anyway?
While it may not seem like a huge deal for the target audience –which is mostly first-time users or probably those looking at their first upgrade or a gifting option for friends and family to embrace the new normal – the combination of latest plus clean software and the guarantee of long-term support is a big differentiator for the Moto G22, one that sets it apart from everything else, and should help Motorola in sales.
To be clear, the Moto G22 is not bloat-free entirely but a couple of third-party apps it does ship with, are easily removable. As for spammy notifications, there are none. It seems Motorola is using a skimmed version of its My UX interface in this phone minus some of the fancier features you get in its pricier phones be it the Moto G71 or the high-end Edge 30 Pro. You do get a couple of quick shortcuts and gestures such as three-finger screenshot but granular personalisation, peek, and attentive display, and all are missing. First-time users are unlikely to miss them, though, so it’s fine.
Complimenting that clean software is a set of good hardware that kind of does justice to the price point that we’re dealing with.
You get a tall 6.5-inch 90Hz IPS LCD display with a 720p resolution and hole punch cut-out at the centre. It could be brighter, and contrast could be richer, but it gets the job done. Under the hood, there is a MediaTek Helio G37 chip paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. This is expandable. Powering the Moto G22 is a 5,000mAh battery with 20W fast charging.
For photography, you get a quad camera setup on the rear with a 50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, and two 2MP cameras, one for macros and another for depth. On the front, it has a 16MP camera.
Motorola says the Moto G22 has a water-repellent design. The phone is made out of plastic and has a flat frame—which is increasingly becoming the norm lately. The Moto G22 may not win many design awards, but it looks original mostly and stands out from peers quite effortlessly. It feels solid in the hands without being overtly thick or heavy. Biometrics are handled by a side-mounted fingerprint reader. The phone will initially be available in Iceberg Blue and Cosmic Black colourways. A third option, called Mint Green, is coming soon.
Motorola G22 first impressions
Motorola G22 price in India is set at Rs 10,999. This is for a version with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. Software is, no doubt, the Moto G22’s trump card but Motorola has also paired it with decent hardware that may not blow your minds away completely but has great potential to change the game. This phone can totally change the way we perceive budget phones today. Watch this space for our full review.

The deputy president will be making his first attempt at the presidency in the August 9 General Election.
Even as Ruto traverses the country to marshal support for his bid, his wife has also joined the campaign terrain to woo the electorate towards her husband's presidential candidature.
Interacting with residents and women of Nanyuki, Laikipia county, on Thursday, April 7, Rachel vouched for a Ruto presidency which she said would accommodate the interests of women.
She was in the county to preside over a function organised by the Joyful Women Organization (JOYWO) of which she is the patron.

President Mnangagwa has today sworn in a three-member tribunal to look into the suitability to hold office of High Court judge Justice Edith Mushore.
Justice Mushore is accused of failing to report for duty for several months.
The tribunal will be chaired by retired judge Justice Maphios Cheda and has legal practitioners Advocate Charles Warara and Ms Yvonne Masvora as members.

Rukmini Iyer’s recipe for slow-cooked lamb leg al pastor with pineapple salsa
Traditionally, you’d use this lovely al pastor marinade for pork, but it also works beautifully with lamb, which looks so festive when it comes as a whole slow-cooked leg to carve at the table.
With new-season lamb now at Ocado, I like to make this one of the first things that goes on the barbecue in spring. The lamb cooks low and slow in the oven before a quick stint on the barbecue for a wonderful smoky flavour, perfect with a fresh pineapple salsa and a pile of tortillas alongside. If you don’t have a barbecue at your disposal, flash the lamb under a hot grill after the initial four-hour cooking time until it gains a little colour on top.
Instantly shop all these ingredients at ocado.com/slowcookedlambleg
Slow-cooked lamb leg al pastor with pineapple salsa
Prep 30 min, then marinate overnight
Cook 4 hr 30 min
Serves 6
For the lamb
2 guajillo chillies
2 ancho chillies
60ml white wine vinegar
100g fresh pineapple
4 cloves garlic
1 small onion, peeled
2 tsp ground cumin
25g achiote paste
2 tsp sea salt flakes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Mexican dried oregano
2.5kg leg of lamb
For the pineapple salsa
1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into very small pieces
1 red onion, very thinly sliced
2 red chillies, very thinly sliced
Big handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped
Toast the chillies in a dry frying pan on a medium heat for two to three minutes on each side until aromatic, then transfer to a bowl of boiling water. Leave them for 10 minutes to soften, then remove the stems. Tip the softened chillies into a small food processor or blender along with the vinegar, pineapple, garlic, onion, cumin, achiote paste, sea salt, olive oil and oregano. Blitz until you have a smooth paste.
Score the lamb leg diagonally on both sides. Rub the marinade all over the lamb and into the cuts, then place in a deep roasting tin and cover with tinfoil. Pop the lamb into the fridge to marinate overnight.
Five hours before you want to serve, preheat the oven to 140C (120C fan)/275F/gas 1. Transfer the lamb in its tin – still covered in tinfoil – into the oven, and cook for four hours, basting with the cooking juices halfway through.
When the lamb has 30 minutes left in the oven, light the coals in your barbecue and let the flames die down. Remove the lamb from the oven and baste again, then place it on the grill rack. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then baste again and flip it over for a final 15 minutes.
While the lamb is on the barbecue, mix the pineapple, sliced red onion, chilli and coriander together, and set aside. Finally, shred the lamb, reserving some of the cooking juices to pour over, and scatter with a little sea salt. Serve with the pineapple salsa, tortillas, hot sauce and sour cream.

George Russell's X-rated rant to Red Bull as Mercedes' issues worsen in Australia
GEORGE RUSSELL finished outside the top 10 in both practice sessions on Friday at the Australian Grand Prix.
What’s gone wrong with Mercedes and can they recover?
George Russell has lashed out at Red Bull as Mercedes' issues worsened in Albert Park. Russell moaned about the Red Bull pair of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez getting in his way during Friday’s first free practice session.
Speaking over team radio, Russell snapped: “These f****** Red Bulls are getting in the way everywhere.” His comment is the first glimpse of Mercedes’ drivers struggling to manage with their under-performing car in 2022.
However, it’s not the first time Russell has got angry with decisions on track, lashing out at former Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas after the pair collided at Imola last year. Cars blocking each other was a common occurrence during both practice sessions on Friday as drivers battled for space on the new layout.
Lewis Hamilton was even summoned to the stewards after he was nearby to a possible infringement between Carlos Sainz and Lance Stroll. Mercedes’ lack of performance was even worse on Friday as the Silver Arrows dropped below several teams in the midfield.

Heading to Melbourne, the team was confident it was the third-fastest car and felt it had a buffer behind them to experiment. But, Russell was only fast enough for 11th on Friday afternoon with team-mate Lewis Hamilton 13th.
The pair appear to be behind the resurging Alpine and McLaren in the weekend’s pecking order while AlphaTauri are also close behind. Meanwhile, Red Bull enjoyed a strong Friday with Verstappen setting the second-fastest lap in FP2.
After the session, Russell conceded the squad were now facing threats from other teams who had plugged the gap between races. He said: “There’s quite a few midfield cars ahead of us, and obviously we’re quite a long way off the pace at the front, so we need to work hard tonight, understand the limitations.

“The car felt alright, didn’t feel too bad, but it was a bit strange – on my soft tyre I just kept on improving and improving. I know a few drivers did that, but it seemed a little bit more extravagant from our side of things.
“We’re definitely porpoising pretty badly in Turn 9. It’s probably the most severe I’ve experienced. But I think it’s just something that we’ll have to deal with for the time being.”

Take a look at the beta version of dw.com. We're not done yet! Your opinion can help us make it better.
Jumping out of helicopters. Saving drowning people. Italy's rescue dogs are unique. Every year, teams of dogs and their humans complete the tough training program at the "SICS" dog school.
Valentina Renzopaoli and her Labrador Ettore plan to stand guard on Italy's beaches for the first time, this summer. Valentina is actually a journalist. But because Ettore grew from a tiny puppy into an unexpectedly huge Labrador, she needed to find something for him to do.
That's how the two ended up in training at "SICS” (Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio), Italy’s premiere dog school. The training is intense. First, Valentina and Ettore practice rescuing bags of stones from a chilly lake near Rome every Sunday.
Under the strict but patient eyes of instructor Roberto Gasbarri, dogs like Ettore learn to place their complete trust in their master or mistress. They learn playfully, without coercion, Roberto explains. Newfoundlands and Labradors, in particular, are ideal rescue dogs, he says. "They stay calm even in stressful situations, and are able to use the water currents perfectly, to find the safest way back to shore."
Animals like these can pull three to five people to safety. Teams from SICS have saved dozens of lives this way. But first up for Valentina Renzopaoli is a swimming test of her own, in April. And in June, the founder of the school, Ferruccio Pilenga, will come in person to give Ettore a second exam. Will dog and mistress reach their goal? The film accompanies Valentina and Ettore through ups and downs, capturing both stressful and beautiful moments.

IPL 2022: DK on cusp of joining MS Dhoni in an elite list during RR-RCB tie (Photo IPL/BCCI) Photograph:( Others )
IPL 2022: While Dinesh Karthik will want to continue in similar stead with the bat in the RCB-RR clash, he is also on the cusp of joining MS Dhoni in an elite list.
Dinesh Karthik has been in splendid form with the bat for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) so far in the IPL 2022 edition. In RCB's season-opener, versus Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings (PBKS), the veteran IPL keeper-batter returned with a blazing 14-ball 32 not out whereas finished a tight run-chase for the side in a low-scoring thriller versus Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) courtesy a vital 7-ball 14*.
While DK will want to continue in similar stead with the bat, he is also only two away from completing 150 dismissals by a wicketkeeper in the IPL. If DK gets to the feat in RCB's clash versus Rajasthan Royals (RR), on Tuesday evening (April 05), he will become only the second keeper to have 150, or more, dismissals up his sleeves, along with Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) MS Dhoni.
Most dismissals by a keeper in IPL:
MS Dhoni - 163 (Catches - 124, Stumpings - 39)
Dinesh Karthik - 148 (Catches - 116, Stumpings - 32)
Robin Uthappa - 90 (Catches - 58, Stumpings - 32)
Wriddhiman Saha - 82 (Catches - 62, Stumpings - 20)
Parthiv Patel - 81 (Catches - 65, Stumpings - 16)

So far, Karthik has played 215 IPL matches, representing the likes of Mumbai Indians (MI), PBKS, RCB (in 2015), KKR, Gujarat Lions (GL) and the Delhi Daredevils (DD) -- now known as Delhi Capitals (DC). He has amassed a total of 4,092 runs, 11th-most, including 19 half-centuries.

Shanghai jumps into group buying to stay fed during COVID lockdown
By Josh Horwitz
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - When Shanghai first went into full COVID-19 lockdown last week, Ping Mai wasn't expecting she'd become her housing compound's unofficial broker for its meat supply.
With her and her neighbours stuck at home and struggling to buy food amid lockdown curbs that have shuttered stores and dramatically reduced the number of couriers, she is among millions that are trying to figure out how to buy fresh supplies on a daily basis.
One popular solution has been community group-buying, which sees residents at the same address band together to bulk buy groceries or meals from suppliers or restaurants, placing single orders that could add up to thousands of dollars.
Restaurants such Yum China's Pizza Hut and hot pot chain Haidilao , which have had to shut their dine-in outlets, have jumped on the bandwagon. The former at one point had offered groups of 10 buyers 120 steaks for 2,900 yuan ($456). The latter has sold packages of eggs, mushrooms and root vegetables priced at 58 yuan with a minimum order of 30 sets.
Offers spread quickly through social media, and once enough buyers sign up and make a payment, vendors will dispatch the order to the complex usually days later, and building security or volunters will then drop off each order door-to-door. Sometimes, residents organise couriers themselves.
Mai recounted to Reuters how she took it upon herself to source meat, and rang several suppliers only to learn they had stopped taking orders.
When one finally said it had stock but had a minimum order of 30 sets priced at 200 yuan each, it sent her into a scramble into chat groups to find 29 other interested parties.
She continues to be on the hunt for more offers for her neighbours, even as she juggles it with her day job.
"Lots of people are busy with work, and lots of people in the building are old. I've got time, so I can help," she said.
However, many residents are concerned that the government could shut the practice down, especially as it tries to stamp out virus transmission.
Shanghai on Friday announced a record 21,000 new cases and a third consecutive day of COVID testing as a lockdown of its 26 million people showed no sign of easing, while other Chinese cities tightened curbs - even in places with no recent infections.
Some Shangahi residents said their neighbourhood committees had sent out messages this week saying they were no longer allowed to do group buying, citing contagion risks and manpower issues. At one housing compound, some residents turned away a truck full of orders made by their neighbours, citing virus risk.
On Friday, an official rumour buster WeChat account, which is backed by China's internet watchdog, denied that the city government planned to ban group-buying.
Still, Loly Chen, a 26-year-old designer, said such rumours were stoking anxiety for people such as her, due to the uncertainty over how long Shanghai's lockdown will last, though she is content to live on instant noodles for now.
"Even though I still have enough food for now, I'm always worrying about running out."

Which Jimmy Choo perfume is best?
Since its founding more than 20 years ago in London, Jimmy Choo has developed a reputation for producing some of the finest shoes, clothing, perfumes and accessories on the market. Hollywood A-listers and heads of state alike have been spotted sporting Jimmy Choo on many occasions.
Jimmy Choo’s philosophy is to give their customers a sense of identity, and nowhere is this core principle more evident than in their perfumes, which are unique, bold and well-made. Whether you’re interested in finding a scent to spritz on each and every day or something to wear to a special occasion like a date night, there’s a Jimmy Choo perfume for you.
Each Jimmy Choo perfume transports the wearer to a different place — the source of inspiration for the scent. However, with so many different Jimmy Choo perfumes to choose from, finding the right one can be a challenge.
What to know before you buy a Jimmy Choo perfume
Perfume concentration
All Jimmy Choo perfumes are one of three concentrations: eau de toilette, eau de parfum or parfum. Each of these titles corresponds to the amount of pure perfume oils contained in each fragrance.
Eau de toilette is the weakest (though most common) of the three and usually contains 10% to 15% pure perfume oils. Eau de parfum contains 15% to 20% perfume oils, which makes it more intense and longer-lasting. Lastly, parfum contains 20% to 40% perfume oils, which makes it the strongest of the three concentrations available.
Bottle size
Unfortunately, all perfume will eventually degrade and lose its integrity. However, because Jimmy Choo is a premium brand, their perfumes will likely last longer than most. Getting the right size ensures that you get the most out of your perfume without risking unnecessary waste. If you don’t plan to use your new fragrance every day, you likely won’t need the largest bottle available, even though they’re cheaper per fluid ounce. There’s nothing worse than spending money on something fancy only to have to throw it out down the line because you didn’t get a chance to use it.
Your fragrance lineup
Before purchasing a new bottle of Jimmy Choo perfume, make sure you take stock of your current fragrance lineup. While you may not already have perfume in your routine, there’s a good chance you use other scented products, such as shampoo, conditioner, soap or body lotion. Go over these products, and determine what fragrance families they belong to. Doing this helps you determine if your new perfume complements your existing routine without clashing.
How much you can expect to spend on a Jimmy Choo perfume
Expect to spend around $30-$40 on travel-size bottles of Jimmy Choo perfume and around $60-$80 for small and medium-size bottles. If you want a large bottle that will last a long time, expect to spend at least $100.
What’s the best Jimmy Choo perfume to buy?
Top Jimmy Choo perfume
Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Eau de Parfum
What you need to know: Inspired by the incredible biodiversity and natural beauty of Asia, this fragrance is floral, youthful and seductive.
What you’ll love: As the play on words name suggests, this perfume is meant to evoke a sense of sensuality in the wearer and those around them. To achieve that goal, this fragrance boasts fruity top notes of mandarin and peach, middle notes of spider lily and jasmine sambac and base notes of vanilla. These ingredients come together to form a sophisticated and bold profile that’s sure to leave a strong impression. To top it all off, this perfume is part of a larger “I Want Choo” line, making it easy to layer and find ancillary products that complement it.
What you should consider: Some wearers report that this fragrance is too sweet, and the spicy base notes don’t come out strongly enough.
Where to buy: Sold by Ulta
Top Jimmy Choo perfume for the money
Jimmy Choo Blossom Eau de Parfum
What you need to know: With a hot pink bottle that says it all, this perfume has a bold, playful scent profile that’s ideal for anyone who likes to party or go to nighttime social events.
What you’ll love: With top notes of citrus cocktail and red berries, this perfume starts off sweet and fruity. The top notes fade into middle notes of sweet peas and rose blossoms before settling into base notes of white musk with a hint of salty sea breeze and sandalwood. Overall, this perfume is exciting and seductive, making it perfect for a night out.

Where to buy: Sold by Ulta and Macy’s
Worth checking out
Jimmy Choo L’Eau Eau de Toilette
What you need to know: If you’re in the market for a radiant, feminine perfume that’s subtle yet memorable, look no further than L’Eau by Jimmy Choo.
What you’ll love: Boasting energetic top notes of hibiscus flower and bergamot, this perfume makes a lively first impression. It has middle notes of nectarine and peony flowers that add to the sweet and fruity scent profile. L’Eau has base notes of musk and cedarwood that allow the sweetness to subtly dissipate without losing its distinctive feminine quality. As with many Jimmy Choo perfumes, L’Eau draws inspiration from traditional Asian recipes as well modern British style, and it strikes a perfect balance between the two.
What you should consider: Some wearers report that this cologne doesn’t last nearly as long as it should, especially in comparison to other Jimmy Choo perfumes.

COVID-19 has been around long enough that we are not even counting the waves anymore, but the virus and the tools we have to fight it keep evolving.
And the guidance seems to change just enough with each surge that it can leave even the most diligent among us feeling lost.
Now, more than two years into the pandemic, some parts of the U.S. are seeing an uptick in cases driven by the BA.2 subvariant.
Dr. Celine Gounder is a senior fellow and editor-at-large for public health at Kaiser Health News and a former adviser to the Biden administration. She runs through the latest thinking on everything from at-home tests to isolation times, contact tracing and why we may be repeating the same mistakes we made with other diseases.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Interview highlights
On whether the rapid at-home tests work for BA.2
The rapid antigen tests do work to pick up omicron. This pattern that you see is really similar across all the variants, which is that there is usually a day or two delay between when you might test positive on a PCR versus when you might test positive on one of these at-home rapid antigen tests. But they do work to pick up an infection.
On the expiration dates listed on rapid at-home tests
I organize my tests in my drawer actually by expiration date, so I'm using the oldest ones first. So that's just a small tip there. But the tests probably are good for much longer than they're labeled for. And that's really a reflection of the fact that early on when they were first developed, we weren't quite sure how long they would be good for. And they probably do last probably, you know, in the order of months longer than what they're labeled to be good for.
On when and how to seek treatment if you test positive
To access treatment, you can go to covid.gov and look up where in your area you can access Paxlovid and monoclonal antibodies, what facilities currently stock them, and how you can go about getting that. If you already have a primary care physician, they can also help you navigate that.
Right now, we have a pretty short supply of treatment. And so we're really trying to target that supply to people in whom it would really have the most benefit. People who are young, healthy, who don't have significant symptoms are probably not going to end up in the hospital regardless. And so that's not the best use of that short supply that we currently have.
On isolation times if you test positive
What we're seeing is that people very often test positive for longer than five days. You have maybe about half of people who are negative by five days, but then the other half are positive out to even 12-14 days. And so I think the way to address that is repeat a test. If you're still positive, really try to stay at home. And if you absolutely cannot stay at home, that's a situation where you really should be masking when you're around other people so that you're not infecting others.
On the current state of contact tracing
Contact tracing efforts have largely been dismantled at this stage. And it's become even harder to do contact tracing now, especially if you're trying to use that as a way to prevent onward infection. And that's because the incubation period for COVID has gotten shorter and shorter with each variant. And so with omicron, the incubation period is only two to three days. And so that makes it really hard to try to track down the person that you might have infected and take measures to prevent on onward infection.
I do think if you have been around people, and may have exposed them, I think it's just polite and good form to inform them so that they know they may want to get tested themselves.
On federal funding for COVID measures drying up and whether this is a normal progression
I guess it depends on what you call normal. Is it how we have addressed other diseases and fallen short? Absolutely, it is repeating those same mistakes. We've run out of money to reimburse providers for offering testing to uninsured patients. But it's not just testing. We've also run out of money to reimburse providers for treating uninsured patients, for vaccinating uninsured patients. And it's really unfortunate that we refuse to learn from previous experiences.
I'm not going to tell Congress what to do here. But I think if our goal is to adapt and live with COVID in a way that this is not impacting our social lives or economic lives, our work, then it will mean doing things differently, doing things better, and I hope we will.

COVID-19 has been around long enough that we are not even counting the waves anymore, but the virus and the tools we have to fight it keep evolving.
And the guidance seems to change just enough with each surge that it can leave even the most diligent among us feeling lost.
Now, more than two years into the pandemic, some parts of the U.S. are seeing an uptick in cases driven by the BA.2 subvariant.
Dr. Celine Gounder is a senior fellow and editor-at-large for public health at Kaiser Health News and a former adviser to the Biden administration. She runs through the latest thinking on everything from at-home tests to isolation times, contact tracing and why we may be repeating the same mistakes we made with other diseases.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Interview highlights
On whether the rapid at-home tests work for BA.2
The rapid antigen tests do work to pick up omicron. This pattern that you see is really similar across all the variants, which is that there is usually a day or two delay between when you might test positive on a PCR versus when you might test positive on one of these at-home rapid antigen tests. But they do work to pick up an infection.
On the expiration dates listed on rapid at-home tests
I organize my tests in my drawer actually by expiration date, so I'm using the oldest ones first. So that's just a small tip there. But the tests probably are good for much longer than they're labeled for. And that's really a reflection of the fact that early on when they were first developed, we weren't quite sure how long they would be good for. And they probably do last probably, you know, in the order of months longer than what they're labeled to be good for.
On when and how to seek treatment if you test positive
To access treatment, you can go to covid.gov and look up where in your area you can access Paxlovid and monoclonal antibodies, what facilities currently stock them, and how you can go about getting that. If you already have a primary care physician, they can also help you navigate that.
Right now, we have a pretty short supply of treatment. And so we're really trying to target that supply to people in whom it would really have the most benefit. People who are young, healthy, who don't have significant symptoms are probably not going to end up in the hospital regardless. And so that's not the best use of that short supply that we currently have.
On isolation times if you test positive
What we're seeing is that people very often test positive for longer than five days. You have maybe about half of people who are negative by five days, but then the other half are positive out to even 12-14 days. And so I think the way to address that is repeat a test. If you're still positive, really try to stay at home. And if you absolutely cannot stay at home, that's a situation where you really should be masking when you're around other people so that you're not infecting others.
On the current state of contact tracing
Contact tracing efforts have largely been dismantled at this stage. And it's become even harder to do contact tracing now, especially if you're trying to use that as a way to prevent onward infection. And that's because the incubation period for COVID has gotten shorter and shorter with each variant. And so with omicron, the incubation period is only two to three days. And so that makes it really hard to try to track down the person that you might have infected and take measures to prevent on onward infection.
I do think if you have been around people, and may have exposed them, I think it's just polite and good form to inform them so that they know they may want to get tested themselves.
On federal funding for COVID measures drying up and whether this is a normal progression
I guess it depends on what you call normal. Is it how we have addressed other diseases and fallen short? Absolutely, it is repeating those same mistakes. We've run out of money to reimburse providers for offering testing to uninsured patients. But it's not just testing. We've also run out of money to reimburse providers for treating uninsured patients, for vaccinating uninsured patients. And it's really unfortunate that we refuse to learn from previous experiences.
I'm not going to tell Congress what to do here. But I think if our goal is to adapt and live with COVID in a way that this is not impacting our social lives or economic lives, our work, then it will mean doing things differently, doing things better, and I hope we will.

Dog owners have been warned that a killer flesh-eating disease is on the rise across the UK according to vets. Multiple cases of Alabama Rot have been reported, raising concerns.
Animal experts are calling on people to keep an eye out for symptoms of the usually fatal cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV), otherwise known as Alabama Rot. Two fresh cases have appeared in Bristol and Devon respectively. The total is now at five nationwide.
David Walker, American, RCVS and EBVS European specialist in small animal internal medicine, who leads the team at Anderson Moores, said: “We’re very sad to confirm two further cases of CRGV." Normally caught from woodland or muddy environments dog owners are being asked to wash their dogs after walks to prevent the spread.

Walker continues: "Unfortunately, we find ourselves at the time of year when cases are most commonly identified." The two new cases bring the total to 284 since the disease was first detected in the UK in 2012.
He said: “We have been at the forefront of research into CRGV for almost a decade and have witnessed first-hand the often-devastating effects of the disease. Treatment largely revolves around intensive management of the sudden onset kidney failure and, sadly, with our current understanding of the disease, is only successful in around 10 per cent of cases.”
Signs of the disease include skin lesions, sore skin and also kidney failure. Within 2-7 days of contracting CRGV there will often be outward signs of kidney failure, including vomiting, reduced hunger and unusual tiredness.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Designer Brands Inc. (NYSE: DBI) (the "Company" and "Designer Brands"), one of North America's largest designers, producers, and retailers of footwear and accessories, today will host an Investor Day at the New York Stock Exchange. At the event, Designer Brands will outline its updated long-range plan to leverage its acute focus on its customers, ability to build unparalleled brands, and initiatives focused on optimizing speed and efficiency to drive anticipated growth.
"At Designer Brands, we have truly taken control of our destiny as we have transformed into a brand builder, marrying our world-class design and sourcing capabilities to our industry leading direct-to-consumer infrastructure. We know our customers like our best friends, and utilize the data, feedback and insights gleaned from our nearly 30 million loyalty members to efficiently design top quality product suited specifically for them and engaging with them in innovative ways across any and all mediums they desire. Our nimble business model and agile team have the ability to pivot with our consumers' preferences and meet them where they want to shop," said Roger Rawlins, Chief Executive Officer of Designer Brands.
"Our Owned Brands are the key driver of growth over the next five years, and we plan to double sales of these brands by fiscal 2026. This growth is complemented by maintaining our relationships with top National Brand partners who utilize our leading omni-channel capabilities in their own DTC efforts in ways unique to DBI. In addition to our updated and differentiated assortment, we are expanding upon our already dominant sourcing and supply chain capabilities, leading to quicker speed to market with new designs and faster delivery times. Designer Brands' mission to inspire self-expression is supported by our integrated organization, and this will meaningfully grow shareholder value over the long-term."
Event Overview
During the event, Designer Brands' management team will provide a deeper look at the Company's differentiated capabilities that will drive growth, demonstrated by the goal to double sales of Owned Brands in all channels and maintain sales in National Brands. In addition, the management team will outline the Company's specific initiatives to meaningfully grow shareholder value.
- Leading with Owned Brands, transformed from a retailer to brand builder
- Knowing our nearly 30 million customers like our best friends, leveraging data analytics from our leading omni-channel platform
- Evolving partnerships with National Brands through value and must have capabilities
- Delivering shareholder value through topline growth, margin expansion and cash generation
Long-Term Financial Outlook
During the Investor Day, Designer Brands will outline a five-year financial roadmap through which the Company expects to deliver significant bottom-line growth, building upon the investments Designer Brands has made over the past several years and the integration work that has been completed resulting in a transformed business. Designer Brands is announcing the following financial targets, which the Company anticipates reaching by fiscal 2026 (fiscal year ending January 30, 2027).
- Revenue of $4 billion
- Gross profit margin of 35%
- Operating margin of 9% improving over 200 basis points
- Target EPS range of $2.75 to $2.85
- Generation of over $1 billion of cash from operating activities over the next five years
We expect that this growth will be driven by doubling our Owned Brand sales, from 19% of the Company's total revenue to nearly one-third, with most of that business happening within our own DTC channels. This growth is highly margin accretive and is expected to drive our operating margin higher over the longer-term.
Updated Fiscal 2022 Financial Outlook
Designer Brands is updating its fiscal 2022 outlook. For the fiscal 2022 full year, EPS is now expected to be in the range of $1.80 to $1.90.

Within the equity segment, all categories saw net inflows. Multi-cap fund category saw the highest net inflow of Rs 9,694 crore, followed by large & mid-cap fund and large cap fund that witnessed over Rs 3,000 crore net infusion each.

Most of what has occurred during pre-trial hearings is blanketed by reporting restrictions, even though the defendants want them lifted
Hong Kong's most prominent democracy activists have disappeared from view as their prosecution under a security law drags into its second year, with lawyers and family members warning the defendants are losing faith in the courts.
The 47 activists make up a swathe of the city's depleted democracy movement, from veteran former lawmakers to young firebrands and community organisers as well as academics and unionists.
Charged with subversion, the majority have been held in custody for more than a year and the few granted bail must adhere to strict speech curbs.

Most of what has occurred during pre-trial hearings is blanketed by reporting restrictions, even though the defendants want them lifted. And their trial is not expected to begin until at least 2023.
"The prosecution and the court are making the defendants invisible in plain sight," legal scholar Eric Lai of Georgetown University told AFP.
Using the national security law Beijing imposed in 2020 following huge democracy protests, authorities targeted the activists for organising an unofficial poll to choose opposition candidates.
Some observers have voiced alarm about how lengthy pre-trial proceedings under the law have generated precedent-setting decisions without public scrutiny.
The hearings, Lai said, have produced "very substantial evaluations that are rarely seen in ordinary criminal cases" including detailed discussions over the security law's stricter bail terms, the admissibility of evidence as well as shifting prosecution charges.
"(Court) procedures should be more open and transparent so the public can see how the court handled the cases and what it did to protect the integrity of trial."

Changing legal landscape
Hong Kong faces scrutiny over whether its internationally respected common law legal system can be maintained as China cracks down on dissent with the security law, which has ensnared some 170 people.
Last month, two of Britain's most senior judges pulled out of sitting on Hong Kong's top court citing the law's impact on freedoms, though nine other foreign judges confirmed they would stay.
The prosecution of the 47 activists is seen as a legal litmus test.
While Hong Kong allows the public to attend pre-trial hearings, reporting is largely limited to names, hearing dates and what a judge rules –- unless that judge lifts restrictions.
The rules are in place to protect a defendant from potential prejudice, especially if a jury may be involved in their trial.

But so far, all national security cases to reach trial stage have been heard by handpicked judges, not juries.
The 47 activists want the reporting restrictions lifted but their requests have been opposed by the prosecution and denied by the courts.
Independent legal scholar Wong Kai-yeung said it was unusual for judges both in Hong Kong and under the English common law to deny such requests.
"Here it was they, the defendants to be put on trial, who actively sought publicity of the proceedings," he told AFP.
"It is their trial. They have the autonomy to make the informed decision to not accept arrangements brought in in the name of their protection."
Frustrated and defeated
Those facing trial are in custody or barred from speaking to the press as part of their bail conditions.
But four barristers with knowledge of the proceedings told AFP that defendants were growing exasperated, believing prosecutors have filed vague charges and are dragging their feet, knowing their actions will not face public scrutiny or backlash.

All requested anonymity to speak freely.
"Some defendants feel they are being played by the court, the prosecution and the whole procedure," said one barrister. "They think it's a sham."
"There has been general distrust of the impartiality of the proceedings," another said. "It's fair to say some defendants do not believe they will get a fair trial in this case."
The barristers themselves also described a sense of frustration with proceedings -– two accused prosecutors of "moving the goalposts" by failing to disclose key evidence and frequently changing the charges.
Hong Kong's Department of Justice said it took "strong exception" to such criticisms.
"Any allegation that the prosecution is 'taking advantage' of the reporting restrictions is based on a misconception of the rationale underlying such restrictions, if not based on malice," it said.
The judiciary said it would not comment on individual cases.
Chan Po-ying, an activist and the wife of former lawmaker Leung Kwok-hung, said the media blackout had "dialled up the pressure" on defendants.

"When public attention starts to wane, it could make them feel frustrated and defeated."
Emilia Wong, the partner of detained activist Ventus Lau, said the defendants were "exhausted" and feeling silenced.
"This is what authorities want -- to minimise the defendants' influence."

A fresh campaign is being mounted to re-introduce railway stations to two key areas of Ayrshire.
The call comes from South Scotland Conservative List MSP, Sharon Dowey, who claims the Scottish Government should make it one of their top priorities.
Ms Dowey wants to bring back railway stations to Cumnock and Mauchline.
With ScotRail coming into public ownership at the start of this month, Ms Dowey has teamed up with local Scottish Conservatives candidates Neill Watts and Alyson Simmons to unveil their campaign.
The trio believe new stations would ease road congestion, provide greener alternatives for travel, shorten journey times and bring visitors and investment to the two towns.
Both stations closed in 1965.
Think tank Railfuture Scotland claimed that if Cumnock were to re-open, 200,000 people would use this service annually- while 120,000 people would use the service at Mauchline every year.

Ms Dowey said: “By re-opening these stations, the area would have much stronger public transport links with the rest of Scotland. With ScotRail now under Scottish Government control, there’s no excuse to leave Cumnock or Mauchline without a train station.
“Considering the number of road accidents in East Ayrshire, this new station should also be a priority to encourage commuters to ditch their cars.
“We’ve loads of accidents on the A76, some very recently, and they’re often fatal. If commuters leave their cars for the train, there will be fewer cars on the road and far less traffic build-up.
“Rail services also have to be easily accessible for everyone, not just those in the Central Belt. That’s why me and my Scottish Conservative colleagues in East Ayrshire will be pushing the Scottish Government for this train station at every turn.”
Scottish Conservative candidate for Cumnock and New Cumnock, Neill Watts, said: “I’m determined to reduce traffic congestion in Cumnock. It’s time that Cumnock stops being an afterthought for the SNP. That’s why I’ll be pushing for this train station to be opened as soon as possible now that ScotRail is in public ownership.”
Scottish Conservative candidate for Ballochmyle, Alyson Simmons, said: “Towns like Mauchline are always an afterthought for the Scottish Government, and I’m determined to make sure that this isn’t the case for our railway station.”
Transport Scotland said a public consultation on all their draft Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2) recommendations is running until 15th April and are encouraging anybody with an interest in how they invest in transport infrastructure to “review these and respond to” the consultation.
A spokesperson added: “This long term strategic plan will still allow for responding to local opportunities or needs as they arise.
“There will be opportunities for regional or local rail projects to come forward, subject to a strong business case being developed and suitable funding being available.”

Is Trump's hold on the GOP waning? We’re about to find out.
The former president will see his influence tested in a series of primaries.
A former president who famously claimed he would win so much that his followers would be "sick and tired of winning" faces the prospect of something new within normally friendly terrain: a losing streak.
Starting next month, in states from Georgia and North Carolina to Arizona and Alaska, former President Donald Trump will see his influence tested in a series of high-stakes GOP primaries.
Trump has placed himself in the middle of a wide range of races in which his chosen candidates have struggled or where he is at sharp odds with other prominent Republican voices -- including former Cabinet members, close aides and potential rivals who hope bad calls by Trump prove a point.
"Trump is trying to insert himself in races all across the country where people he's supporting are crazy," Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, told ABC News.
"The primaries are critically important because they are going to determine what the Republican Party looks like," said Hogan, who leaves office at the end of the year and is supporting a series of candidates whom Trump is actively trying to beat. "It will tell us how much Trump's influence has waned or not. Has he been diminished? And what does that foretell about the next election two years later?"
In one recent sign of how little some Republicans now fear Trump's wrath, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu appeared at Washington's Gridiron Club dinner over the weekend and labeled Trump "f---ing crazy." Sununu, who later called his speech "all in fun" and "all a joke," is up for reelection in a state that delivered Trump his first primary win of 2016.
Trump is still widely seen as the loudest and most powerful force in Republican politics. Candidates and potential candidates have been parading to Mar-a-Lago virtually since Trump left office in search of what the former president bills as his "complete and total endorsement."
"There's nothing more powerful in American politics than the endorsement of President Trump," Taylor Budowich, a Trump spokesman, said in a statement. "The MAGA ticket is going to sweep the midterms, as voters everywhere look to restore the policies and leadership of President Trump."
But that outcome is not guaranteed. Trump is putting significant political capital on the line by endorsing and pushing candidates who have pledged fealty to him and to his lies about the last election -- and who could very well lose primaries, according to a range of strategists and some of his highest-profile critics inside the party.
When Trump takes the stage for his next rally Saturday night in North Carolina, top billing will go to a unique group of candidates whose endorsements by Trump have roiled local and national politics.
In the state's open Senate race, Trump was not able to clear the field for Rep. Ted Budd, who was staunchly loyal to Trump through Jan. 6 and beyond. Budd is facing former Gov. Pat McCrory, as well as a Trump-friendly former House member, in a crowded race that could be headed to a runoff after the first round of voting on May 17.
Rep. Madison Cawthorn briefly flirted with running in a different congressional district and more recently lost the support of both of North Carolina's GOP senators after a bizarre interview in which he alleged his colleagues used cocaine and organized orgies.
Trump will also stand beside another 26-year-old House candidate, Bo Hines, a former college football wide receiver and political newcomer who lives two hours away from the newly created district he's running in. With Trump set to visit their part of the state, local pro-Trump activists are scrambling to sink Hines' candidacy, Politico reported Thursday.
"We're all America First people, but we don't need Mr. Trump or anybody else bringing candidates in who don't know nothing about farming, don't know anything about agriculture and the roads here and the needs we have," one local activist told Politico.
Trump's sway will face an indirect but closely watched test May 3 in Ohio, where Trump hasn't endorsed in the highest-profile races but where former Rep. Jim Renacci has campaigned for governor citing his endorsement by Trump in a 2018 race. Public polls have consistently shown incumbent Gov. Mike DeWine leading comfortably, with Renacci sometimes running third in the four-way field.
The highest-profile measure of Trump's influence might come May 24 in Georgia. Trump has made it his mission to bring down Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- conservative Republicans who backed Trump in 2020 but refused his demand to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden.
"Before we can defeat the Democrat socialists and communists," Trump said at a rally in Georgia last month, "we first have to defeat the RINO sellouts and the losers in the primaries this spring."
Trump convinced former Sen. David Perdue to run against Kemp in the GOP primary, a race in which the Democratic candidate will likely be Stacey Abrams. Kemp just wrapped a legislative session filled with conservative victories, and a recent Fox News poll showed him with an 11-point lead over Perdue.
Trump is backing Rep. Jody Hice against Raffensperger. But his "Boot Brad" campaign has had to explain why the congressman posted and then deleted a social media message calling Jan. 6 "our 1776 moment" while the riot at the Capitol was still ongoing. As recently as a few weeks ago, Hice was caught on camera appearing to commit to decertifying the 2020 election if he assumes office.
Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, R-Ga., told ABC that additional Trump losses in Georgia would mark a blow to the former president and his insistence that fighting over a lost election is a winning strategy.
"It will certainly send a message," said Duncan, who chose to leave office at the end of the year instead of enduring a bruising reelection campaign. "It's pretty obvious to all the factions of the Republican Party here in Georgia that Trump's endorsement is transitioning from a tailwind to a headwind."
Trump has chalked up notable victories over perceived political enemies since leaving office. This week, Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., became the fourth impeachment-supporting Republican to announce his retirement rather than face reelection: "4 down and 6 to go," Trump said in a statement.
Trump endorsements still have "unique and tremendous impact," said David McIntosh, president of the conservative Club for Growth. But he added that candidates have to carry their own weight, and the fact that Trump no longer has access to the biggest social-media outlets means outside groups like his have to reinforce endorsements with advertising in ways that were less vital when Trump tweets drove news cycles.
"The candidate has to do their part -- run hard, run a good campaign, message well," said McIntosh, whose group is spending heavily to help Budd and several other Trump-endorsed candidates, as well as some he's not backing. "Then the Trump endorsement is a big thing. It's like wind behind their sails."
But there are signs that Trump is getting nervous about some choices. Last month, with polls showing Rep. Mo Brooks falling behind rivals in the Alabama Senate race, Trump revoked his endorsement.
The former president has chosen not to endorse anyone in a number of upcoming contests in which several Republicans tout how close they are to him. There is no Trump-endorsed candidate running in upcoming Senate races in states including Missouri, Ohio, Arizona and Pennsylvania, a sign to some observers that Trump is afraid of choosing eventual losers.
Trump's initial choice in Pennsylvania dropped out after a child-custody dispute revealed allegations of domestic abuse. He is now staying out despite the fact that the candidates include David McCormick, who is the husband of his former top aide, Dina Powell and who has been endorsed by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas; Trump is also close to other candidates there, including Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Where and how Trump has chosen to get involved has sometimes mystified and frustrated some of his loyalists. Last weekend in Michigan, Trump made fun of how Rep. Peter Meijer's name is pronounced, even though the name is plastered across a prominent chain of Midwestern department stores.
In South Carolina, Trump appears to have taken a special interest in defeating Rep. Nancy Mace, who was a vocal critic of Trump on and immediately following Jan. 6 but has since softened her critiques. Mace's backers include former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley.
Mace responded to that move by filming a short video in front of Trump Tower in New York City where she sang Trump's praises and added a warning: "If you want to lose [this] seat once again in midterm election cycle to Democrats, then my opponent is more than qualified to do just that."
Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and his political operation are supporting Meijer, Mace and Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., putting the possible future speaker on the opposite side of some of Trump's top targets. By contrast, McCarthy has abandoned Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and is working with Trump on behalf of her main opponent in the state's August primary.
Trump's sway and reputation will be tested twice in Alaska this summer. Trump endorsed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin almost immediately after she joined a 48-person field for an open House race last week. The former president is also working to unseat Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, despite her history of surviving even after losing a primary.
Trump also endorsed Idaho's lieutenant governor in her primary against the incumbent Republican governor, after an odd power struggle in which the state's No. 2 executive changed COVID-19 policies when the governor left the state. That leaves Trump at cross-purposes with the Republican Governors Association, which backs its incumbents and is being forced to spend millions to shore up some of them against intraparty attacks.
In Texas, shortly after the first round of primary voting on March 1, Trump bragged that all 33 candidates he endorsed either came out on top or advanced to the next round. He omitted, though, a loss for his chosen candidate in a special House election last summer.
Perhaps his biggest gamble in the state is backing embattled incumbent Attorney General Ken Paxton in his reelection bid. Paxton, a leader in national legal efforts to overturn the election, will face off against Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush -- the only prominent member of the Bush family to embrace Trump -- in a May 24 runoff where both candidates tout their ties to the former president.
Several Republican strategists who spoke with ABC News on condition of anonymity say Trump appears to them to have lost king-making status. While his endorsement alone could vault a candidate to office in previous cycles, his diminished megaphone and focus on relitigating 2020 hurt him when taking on established GOP figures, particularly those who don't define themselves as "never-Trump," they say.
In Maryland, where Hogan is term-limited, Trump has endorsed state Rep. Dan Cox for governor. Cox attended the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington and tweeted that day that then-Vice President Mike Pence was "a traitor."
Hogan has endorsed Kelly Schulz, his former secretary of commerce, whom he thinks stands the strongest chance in their blue-tinged state.
"I'd like to be able to say, you know, we won all these races -- and he lost," Hogan said. "He lost the White House and the Senate and the House and governors' races and state legislative bodies. I wouldn't call that being a winner. And now he's going to lose in 2022 -- another round of losses for him. And so that's something that can help us steer things in a better direction."

CHERNIHIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian leaders predicted more gruesome discoveries would be made in reclaimed cities and towns as Russian soldiers retreat to focus on eastern Ukraine, where officials said a Russian rocket attack on a packed train station used to evacuate civilians killed over 30 people Friday.
Hours after warning that Ukraine’s forces already had found worse scenes of brutality in a settlement north of Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that “thousands” of people were at the station in Kramatorsk, a city in the eastern Donetsk region, when it was hit by a missile.
Zelenskyy accompanied a social media post with photos that showed a train car with smashed windows, abandoned luggage and bodies lying in what looked like an outdoor waiting area. Authorities said the strike wounded more than 100 people.
“The inhuman Russians are not changing their methods. Without the strength or courage to stand up to us on the battlefield, they are cynically destroying the civilian population,” the president said. “This is an evil without limits. And if it is not punished, then it will never stop.”
After failing to take Ukraine’s capital, Russia has shifted its focus to the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking, industrial region in eastern Ukraine where Moscow-backed rebels have been fighting Ukrainian forces for eight years and control some areas.
Ukrainian officials warned residents this week to leave as soon as possible for safer parts of the country and said they and Russia had agreed to establish multiple evacuation routes in the east. Kramatorsk is located in government-controlled territory.
In his nightly video address, Zelenskyy predicted more gruesome discoveries would be made in northern cities and towns the Russians withdrew from the concentrate on eastern Ukraine. He said evidence of civilians killed at close range and dumped on streets in Bucha already had surfaced in a worse way in Borodianka, another settlement outside the capital.
“And what will happen when the world learns the whole truth about what the Russian troops did in Mariupol?” Zelenskyy said late Thursday, referring to the besieged southern port that has seen some of the greatest suffering since Russia invaded Ukraine. “There on every street is what the world saw in Bucha and other towns in the Kyiv region after the departure of the Russian troops. The same cruelty. The same terrible crimes.”
Spurred by reports that Russian forces committed atrocities in areas surrounding the capital, NATO nations agreed to increase their supply of arms after Ukraine’s foreign minister pleaded for weapons from the alliance and other sympathetic countries to help face down an expected offensive in the east.
Bucha Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk said investigators found at least three sites of mass shootings of civilians during the Russian occupation. Most victims died from gunshots, not from shelling, he said, and some corpses with their hands tied were “dumped like firewood” into mass graves, including one at a children’s camp.
Fedoruk said 320 civilians were confirmed dead as of Wednesday, but he expected more as bodies are found in the city that was home to 50,000 people. Only 3,700 remain, he said.
In his nightly address, Zelenskyy said Bucha’s horrors may be only the beginning. In the northern city of Borodianka, just 30 kilometers (20 miles) northwest of Bucha, he warned of even more casualties, saying “there it is much more horrible.”
Ukrainian and several Western leaders have blamed the massacres on Moscow’s troops. The weekly magazine Der Spiegel reported Germany’s foreign intelligence agency intercepted radio messages among Russian soldiers discussing killings of civilians. Russia has falsely claimed that the scenes in Bucha were staged.
A Kremlin spokesman said Thursday that Russia has suffered major troop casualities during its six-week military operation in Ukraine.
“Yes, we have significant losses of troops and it is a huge tragedy for us,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Sky News.
Peskov also hinted the fighting might be over “in the foreseeable future,” telling Sky that Russian troops were “doing their best to bring an end to that operation.”
On Thursday, a day after Russian forces began shelling their village in the southern Mykolaiv region, Sergei Dubovienko, 52, drove north in his small blue Lada with his wife and mother-in-law to Bashtanka, where they sought shelter in a church.
“They started destroying the houses and everything” in Pavlo-Marianovka, he said. “Then the tanks appeared from the forest. We thought that in the morning there would be shelling again, so I decided to leave.”
Hundreds of people have fled villages in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions that are either under attack or occupied by Russian forces.
Marina Morozova and her husband fled from Kherson, the first major city to fall to the Russians.
“They are waiting for a big battle. We saw shells that did not explode. It was horrifying,” she said.
Morozova, 69, said only Russian television and radio was available. The Russians handed out humanitarian aid, she said, and filmed the distribution.
Anxious to keep moving away from Russian troops, the couple and others boarded a van that would take them west. Some will try to leave the country, while others will remain in quieter parts of Ukraine.
The United Nations estimates the war has displaced at least 6.5 million people within the country.
The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, said that more than 4.3 million, half of them children, have left Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion on Feb. 24 and sparked Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II.
The International Organization for Migration estimates more than 12 million people are stranded in areas of Ukraine under attack.
The United Nations’ humanitarian chief told The Associated Press on Thursday that he’s “not optimistic” about securing a cease-fireafter meeting with officials in Kyiv and in Moscow this week, given the lack of trust between the sides. He spoke hours after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Ukraine of backtracking on proposals it had made over Crimea and Ukraine’s military status.
Two top European Union officials and the prime minister of Slovakia traveled to Kyiv on Friday, looking to shore up the EU’s support for Ukraine. Prime Minister Eduard Heger said he, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell have trade and humanitarian aid proposals for Zelenskyy and his government.
Part of that, Heger says is “to offer options for transporting grains, including wheat.” Ukraine is a major world wheat supplier and Russia’s war on Ukraine is creating shortages, notably in the Middle East.
Western nations have stepped up sanctions, and the Group of Seven major world powers warned that they will keep adding measures until Russian troops leave Ukraine.
The U.S. Congress voted Thursday to suspend normal trade relations with Russia and ban the importation of its oil, while the EU approved other new steps, including an embargo on coal imports. The U.N. General Assembly, meanwhile, voted to suspend Russia from the world organization’s leading human rights body.
U.S. President Joe Biden said the U.N. vote demonstrated how “Putin’s war has made Russia an international pariah.” He called the images coming from Bucha “horrifying.”
“The signs of people being raped, tortured, executed — in some cases having their bodies desecrated — are an outrage to our common humanity,” Biden said.

Donald Trump has again indicated that he intends to run for President again in 2024.
The former leader also said he regretted not taking part in the storming of the US Capitol during last year’s uprising.
Trump said US law enforcement was responsible for his absence from the Capitol riots.
On Jan. 6, 2021, Trump addressed supporters in Washington and about 15 minutes later urged supporters to march to the Capitol to denounce the “brazen and outrageous election theft.”
The march ended fatally – five people died and over 140 police officers were injured.

In a lengthy interview with The Washington Post, published Thursday, April 7, Trump hinted at, but did not confirm, his presidential candidacy in 2024, citing uncertainty surrounding his health.
In the Blockbuster interview, Trump insisted he “didn’t want to comment on running in the 2024 election,” but promised people would be “happy” with his decision when it’s announced, given the political landscape the US is “a little boring” at the moment.
Addressing the issue of health, he told the outlet: “You always have to talk about health. You look like you’re in good health, but tomorrow you’ll get a letter from a doctor saying come back to me [and] that’s not good if they use the word ‘again’.”
The Republican also insisted he was determined to join his supporters in the Capitol riots, but was told by Secret Service agents he was “not allowed to.”

“The Secret Service said I couldn’t go,” he said, adding, “I would have gone there in a minute.”
The newly released interview comes days after Trump appeared to accept that he had in fact been defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
It took Trump several months to admit defeat after losing to Biden, and even then he has continued to make false claims that he is the real winner and, without any evidence, claimed that he was the victim of widespread voter fraud.
But during The Atlantic’s panel interview with a panel of presidential historians, released Monday (April 4), Trump said he “didn’t win the election,” suggesting he’s finally ready to move on.
The comments came as Trump spoke about his tough stance on foreign leaders, ranked a number of countries by who was “happiest” to see him out of office, singled out South Korean President Moon Jae-in and said he would have the country charged more for US military aid.
He said: “By not winning the election [Moon Jae-in] was the happiest person – I’d say okay, China was – no, Iran was the happiest.
“[Moon] would pay $5 billion, $5 billion a year. But when I didn’t win the election, he had to be the happiest – I’d probably rank South Korea third or fourth happiest.

Woman wins $10M lottery prize after being ‘pushed’ into buying scratch-off ticket
LOS ANGELES (Gray News) - A woman in Southern California is ‘accidentally’ $10 million richer thanks to some help pushing a button at a California Lottery Scratchers vending machine.
According to lottery officials, California resident LaQuedra Edwards was at a Los Angeles-area Vons grocery store in November 2021 when she put $40 into the Scratchers machine.
Edwards said when she was deciding which games to play, “some rude person” bumped into her. The impact then pushed her into choosing the wrong selection on the machine, a $30 200X Scratchers ticket.
“He just bumped into me, didn’t say a thing, and just walked out the door,” Edwards said.
Edwards told lottery officials that she wasn’t planning on playing that game and was initially irritated because the ticket took most of her lottery budget.
However, Edwards said she was not upset for long as she started scratching the $30 ticket once back in her car and discovered she’d just won the game’s top prize of $10 million.
“I didn’t really believe it at first, but I got on the freeway and kept looking down at [the ticket], and I almost crashed my car,” Edwards said. “I pulled over, looked at it again, scanned it with my [California Lottery mobile] app, and I kept thinking this can’t be right.”
According to lottery officials, Edwards plans to use the prize money to purchase a home and start a nonprofit organization.
“I’m still in shock. All I remember saying once I found out how much I just won was, ‘I’m rich!” Edwards said.
Lottery officials said the Vons store where Edwards bought the Scratcher received $50,000 for selling the winning ticket.

India came up with a clinical performance to subdue South Korea 3-0 and storm into the semifinals of the FIH Hockey Women's Junior World Cup 2021 at the North West University grounds on Friday.
Playing as a cohesive unit and maintaining their structure throughout the quarterfinal clash, the Indian girls dominated two-time champions Korea, who played well in defence but lacked the creative spark upfront to overcome the Indian defence.
Mumtaz Khan (10th minute), Lalrindiki (14th min) and Sangita Kumari scored the goals for India who now will meet the winner of the quarterfinal clash between three-time champions, the Netherlands, and hosts South Africa later in the day.
This is the second time that India have reached the semifinals in the FIH Hockey Women's Junior World Cup. In the 2013 edition, India had reached the last-4 before eventually settling for a bronze medal.
India started well and scored twice in the first quarter via Mumtaz Khan, who deflected in a penalty corner attempt in the 10th minute, and through forward Lalrindiki, who tapped in a rebound off a shot by Lalremsiami from near the goalmouth in the 14th minute.
They continued to dominate the second quarter too but could not add any more goals to the score. Mumtaz, Lalremsiami Beauty Dung Dung and Sangita missed some great opportunities to score. While Mumtaz and Lalremsiami shot just wide, Sangita and Beauty were thwarted by the defenders as they went into the half-time break leading 2-0.
India, coached by Erik Wonink, continued in the same manner in the third quarter and Lalremsiami, and Beauty Dung Dung were thwarted in their attempts.
However, Sangita made it 3-0 when she shot home a disguised short pass by Beauty to get past the Korean goalkeeper and a defender.
India could have made it 4-0 in the fourth quarter but Sangita Kumari struck the upright from a narrow-angle after making a good run into the circle.
Overall, the Indian girls enjoyed 56 per cent possession as compared to 44 by the Koreans and created three penalty corners, scoring off one, while their opponents had just one, of which they shot wide. India made 28 circle penetrations as compared to 10 by Korea and unleashed 15 shots at the goal as compared to just four by their opponents.
All in all, the stats reflect the true ebb and flow of the match as Salima Tete's India set themselves up for a shot at the title.

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Heropanti 2' which will release in theatres on April 29, 2022.
Fans are excited to watch Nawazuddin portray a unique character who will be different from all the other characters he has played so far.
Nawazuddin is seen playing Laila, a ruthless don who has a feminine side to him. His character is unpredictable and quirky.
When asked about the biggest challenge he had to face while perfecting the gait of the character, which had to depict the power of a don while retaining feminine elegance, the star said, "I incorporated the [traits of] the character in my real life. Laila's walk and the feminine touch [in his manners] were prominently visible in my gestures”.
The actor, who is popularly known for getting into the skin of his character before reaching the sets, followed a similar schedule for Ahmed Khan's directorial venture.
Adding more, Siddiqui says, "Many asked me about the change in my body language, and told me that my walk is different from my usual style. Many thought I am displaying feminine qualities. That's how engrossed I was in Laila's role. I dropped the mannerisms after the shoot was completed."
'Heropanti 2' sees Tiger Shroff's Babloo lock horns with Siddiqui's Laila in a bid to stop cyber crimes across the world. Written by Rajat Arora and directed by Ahmed Khan, the movie is all set to take us on an expedition. The music is given by AR Rahman.

LATEST: TPLF agrees to humanitarian truce
UPDATED March 25, 2022
BBC
Rebel forces fighting in northern Ethiopia have agreed to a government offer of a truce to allow aid deliveries to reach millions of people in urgent need of assistance…
The TPLF rebels said they would respect the ceasefire as long as aid deliveries resume “within reasonable time”
In its statement on Thursday, the government said that the truce was “indefinite” and “effective immediately”, but added that it would only improve the lives of people in the north of the country if the move was reciprocated.
It called on the Tigrayan forces to “stop further aggression and withdraw from areas they have occupied in neighbouring regions”.
In response, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) said it “will do everything it can do to make sure this cessation of hostilities is a success”.

Ethiopia Declares ‘Humanitarian Truce’ in Tigray to Allow Aid
Associated Press
March 24, 2022
Ethiopia’s government on Thursday announced what it called an “indefinite humanitarian truce” in its war-ravaged Tigray region, saying the action was necessary to allow unimpeded relief supplies into the area.
“The government calls upon the donor community to redouble their generous contributions to alleviate the situation and reiterates its commitment to work in collaboration with relevant organizations to expedite the provision of humanitarian assistance to those in need,” authorities said in a statement issued by the Government Communication Service.
The government statement said Tigray’s forces must reciprocate the truce for the humanitarian situation to improve in the region.
It urged fighters loyal to Tigray’s fugitive leaders “to desist from all acts of further aggression and withdraw from areas they have occupied in neighboring regions…”
Although the war has subsided in several places, notably within the Tigray and Amhara regions, concerns remain in the northeastern Afar region.
Aid into the Tigray region has been severely limited under what the United Nations described as a “de facto humanitarian blockade.”

Casualty spoilers follow.
In this Saturday's (April 9) instalment of Casualty, Marty Kirkby and Adi Kapadia's relationship will hit an enormous speed bump.
This all starts with a drunken Marty turning up to Adi's flat, only not to be allowed inside.
He vents to nurse Robyn about it, but they're soon interrupted when teenager Jude gets dropped off at the hospital, unconscious after seemingly taking the drug GBL with alcohol while out on the town.

Jude's mum Rebecca eventually shows up, bringing a change of clothes that surprise Marty and misgendering the teen.
It comes to light that Rebecca insists on keeping Jude's gender identity a secret from her dad Joseph, a local pastor, and believes it's just a phase she's passing through.
The day after, Adi attempts to share some important news with Marty, but Jude's reappearance at the ED distracts him.
Marty is then reminded of his own experience coming out to his dad and decides to leave his number with Jude for whenever she needs a sounding board.
Meanwhile, Adi tells Jessica that he's going to let Marty know about his imminent parenthood, however, things spin into chaos when she experiences sudden pains.

The diagnosis is placenta previa, which occurs when the baby's placenta covers mum's cervix, often resulting in severe bleeding throughout pregnancy and delivery.
Marty comes to check on Jessica and Adi, when the latter finally reveals the truth: he's the father, with Jessica acting as his surrogate.
As you'd expect, this secret hurts Marty, while Adi goes on to admit that they could be in different stages of their lives. Can the couple come back from this?

Today sees the launch of Fybogel’s first-ever Cubicle Confessional, stopping off in London, Northampton and Liverpool over three days this month.
The ‘touring toilet cubicle’ will give members of the public the opportunity to talk to a gut heath expert, in a bid to help us all talk more confidently about our poo problems.
76% of adults surveyed agreed that ‘there is a “poo taboo” and people are generally embarrassed talking about their bowel movements’.
New research commissioned by Fybogel found that UK adults admit to suffering from digestive symptoms such as trapped wind, excess gas and bloating (77%), constipation (44%), stomach-ache or stomach cramps (77%) and blood in faeces (15%).
Almost half (49%) of those surveyed however admitted they have ignored their digestive symptoms at some point in their lives. 36% also said they never sought advice from a medical professional even though 55% said if they were to talk to anyone about digestive health, they would be most comfortable talking to a doctor.
Over half (58%) also admitted their digestive health has a direct impact on their mental health. 52% of those surveyed said they couldn’t sleep and lacked energy because of their digestive symptoms and 19% said they didn’t think anything can be done about it.
Fybogel is on a mission to break the poo taboo. Fybogel wants to get us talking more about our bowel habits to stop unnecessary suffering and disruption to our lives, all because we think the poo taboo is embarrassing (50%), unattractive (46%) and it’s something we have been taught is rude to talk about (36%)
The Fybogel Cubicle Confessional will provide the UK public with a fun, engaging and comfortable way to start ‘the poo chat’, with the expertise of Guts UK, the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system.
The ‘poop’-up toilet confessional will visit three UK cities with some of the highest cost rates of admission to hospital for constipation.

With 34% of those surveyed saying they either don’t think the frequency of their bowel movement is normal, or they aren’t sure, and a further 24% having ‘no idea’ what to look out for in an ‘unhealthy’ poo, it would suggest that the nation’s digestive health knowledge is lacking.
Symptoms that most concern the UK public when it comes to our digestive health:
• Blood in the faeces (56%)
• Diarrhoea (47%)
• Stomach cramps (42%)
• Stomach-ache (40%)
• Constipation (39%)
Marguerite de Durfort, Senior Brand Manager, Fybogel says: “We know for so many the embarrassment that comes with ‘the poo chat’ can limit our understanding of our digestive system and stop us receiving the treatment we might need. Fybogel wants to help stop UK consumers from suffering in silence and work towards breaking the ‘poo taboo’.
With 55% of the public feeling most comfortable talking about their bowel movements with a doctor, we hope that people across our three locations can utilise our cubicle confessional to gain advice from a healthcare professional for their symptoms, leading them to feel more open to discussing these issues and more comfortable about working towards finding a solution.”
Julie Harrington, CEO at Guts UK Charity says: “There’s a real taboo surrounding poo. When discussing toilet habits, we tend to make the subject humorous, to make the conversation more comfortable and less serious. But your poo is an indication of your health in many ways. It’s important to look at your poo, know what is your ‘normal‘, and talk to your doctor about anything unusual for you.
Guts UK’s research2 found that 58% of people agreed that those with digestive condition or symptoms are embarrassed about their symptoms or condition. This leads to 51% of people delaying seeking advice for six months or longer, and that can lead to unnecessary suffering, or putting off potential ‘red flag’ symptoms.
Our guts have been undervalued and misunderstood for decades. It’s time we gave the guts the attention they deserve. Guts UK hopes the travelling Cubicle Confessional will take the UK one step closer to getting to grips with guts.”
Visit Fybogel’s Cubicle Confessional to help banish your fear of the poo taboo and get advice from Guts UK Charity.

Colorado now legally bars anyone previously convicted of any of 110 different felony crimes from possessing a gun, under a new law signed Thursday by Gov. Jared Polis.
The enactment of this law, HB22-1257, is the latest chapter in a multiyear legislative process to determine which people with previous felony convictions should face state prosecution for gun possession, and which can legally possess firearms.
There are about 600 different felony crimes in Colorado. Until recently, anyone who’d been convicted of any of those crimes was eligible to face additional charges if caught possessing a gun.
That changed under a 2021 state law, SB21-271, which required that only those with certain prior felony convictions were subject to state prosecution for gun possession. A list of 600-plus crimes was whittled down to only those few dozen crimes that fall under the Victim Rights Act — murder, sexual assault, incest, child abuse, stalking and witness intimidation, among others.
After SB21-271 was signed last year, lawmakers and law enforcement officials had second thoughts about a number of provisions in that massive piece of legislation. Among their top concerns was expanding the list of people who could be prosecuted in the state for gun possession.
Enter HB22-1257, a bipartisan effort to add prior conviction of several dozen more crimes — including arson, inciting a riot, hostage-taking and aggravated animal cruelty — to the list of things that disqualify someone, in the state’s view, from possessing a gun.
Bills that touch on firearms in any way almost never have bipartisan sponsorship and almost never pass with bipartisan support. HB22-1257 was sponsored by Sen. Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs and Rep. Matt Soper of Delta, both Republicans, and Sen. Julie Gonzales of Denver and Rep. Mike Weissman of Aurora, both Democrats. Their bill sailed through the state Senate and faced a mostly party-line vote in the state House.
“What was passed last year, the list was incredibly narrow. What we included here in 1257 are really horrible (crimes) — terrorism is one, aggravated cruelty to animals,” Soper said before the bill signing. “These are individuals who’ve proven they can’t be trusted in society with a weapon.”
Added his cosponsor, Weissman, “I think that now there is a better balance between a lot of different things: desire to not use criminal consequences too broadly, the desire to promote public safety, the desire for there to be criminal consequences for those who threaten public safety, and Second Amendment rights.”
HB22-1257 went into effect immediately after Polis signed it.
Federal law still prohibits gun possession by people with previous felony convictions, so Colorado can’t promise them immunity from being prosecuted on those grounds. But it’s rare, officials said, that federal law enforcement takes interest in the issue of simple gun possession by someone with a previous felony conviction.
While the legislature can’t control what federal prosecutors do, its mandate to state prosecutors is expected to apply to the vast majority of cases in this area, in Colorado.

The good in women traveling freely to Saudi Arabia without male companions
Before the advent of Ramadan, Saudi Arabia announced that women over the age of eighteen would now be allowed to enter both Mecca and Medina to perform religious rites without a male chaperone. The news was met with celebrations from Muslim women once barred from performing Hajj and ‘Umra because they didn’t meet the legal statute of either being over fifty or traveling with a male relative. Several Muslim women plan to visit the holiest shrines unfettered by male companionship.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
This move comes after several actions that aim to advance women’s rights inside the Kingdom. Moreover, the Kingdom has been exerting multiple efforts to modernize its image and provide a more open and tolerant understanding of Islam to overcome the past rigidity of Wahhabism that once reigned the land. This latest step proves the dedication of the current Saudi regime to a modernist plan that isn’t merely exemplified on the secular/cultural front but, most importantly, on the religious one.
Saudi Arabia is central to the Muslim world. We pray five times a day and orient ourselves to Mecca regardless of where we are. Saudi sets the Muslim calendar since it hosts Muslims during Hajj and ‘Umra. Whether one is Sunni or Shia, we all circle the Kaaba seeking refuge from the world’s cruelty in the proximity of his abode. The centrality of Saudi Arabia is indisputable and not merely based on geographical privilege but in various aspects.
As an Egyptian, Saudi Arabia holds a special place for me, and I believe for many Arabs as well. The kinship between Saudis and Egyptians is evident on the governmental and popular levels. I remember as a young girl when Saudi opened its doors for Egyptians to participate in its economic boom after the discovery of oil. Almost no family in Egypt had some relatives living in Saudi during the eighties.
Families would move to Saudi and return to Egypt on their annual vacations loaded with luxuries that were scarce to nonexistent for us. They also came back saturated with a strict interpretation of Islam. The word Haram, meaning forbidden, would get thrown around in family gatherings to label innocuous actions that those family members used to do before. Going to the beach was haram for girls, listening to music; haram, dancing; haram, innocent mingling between the sexes; haram and love; haram.
As a young girl, I was baffled by the number of innocent pleasures that I was supposed to forsake to be a good Muslim girl according to this Islam. I kept asking myself; if Islam was a complete religion during the Prophet’s lifetime, how could all these actions, once considered acceptable, become forbidden suddenly?
I didn’t understand that there were different types of Islam, and I was being told that I should comply with the injunctions that forbid more than allowing me to be a good Muslim. And the changes were present not only in my extended family, but there was a wave of changes washing over the streets of Egypt and especially in major cities. Women were starting to embrace a more conservative attire congruent with an Islam that ensures women’s presence is perfectly concealed, hidden in plain sight.
It filled me with dread when, as an eleven-year-old girl performing ‘Umra with my family, I went to the mall to get ice cream in between prayers and found two strange men following me. The men started shouting at me, “cover your face, woman! Fix your hijab, woman!” I wanted to tell them I was not a woman yet. I couldn’t cover my mouth and eat ice cream simultaneously, but I couldn’t. I fixed my veil and hurried out of their sight and away from their shouting.
Those men were part of a special force that ensured compliance with visible Islamic law. Those men will no longer be found on Saudi streets and in Saudi malls. Those men exemplified a bygone era of Islam that I hope I will never see revived. Now women can plan their trips to Saudi, go for ice cream in between prayers and enjoy all-female companionship without being compelled to hide who they are. Women can go to Saudi alone, and we all should be celebrating.

Community leaders in Berks are reacting to the historic vote to put the first black woman on the Supreme Court.
69 News spoke to a local NAACP leader, who's also an historian, about what this means.
"This is another glass ceiling broken. I don't necessarily look at little girls I look at young ladies in college right now trying to decide maybe what field to go into. Young ladies in the law field," said Berks Chapter NAACP Leader Wynton Butler.
The chapter plans to hold a special event at Alvernia's CollegeTowne in downtown Reading when Jackson is officially sworn in.

A CLONAKILTY woman, who walked to Rome with her harp ‘Sean’ on her back four years ago, is going one better next month with plans to walk all the way to Jerusalem.
Dutch/Canadian Anja Bakker, has even set up a Go FundMe page to fund her mammoth pilgrimage (between 6,000km and 8,000km) and it means she will have completed the holy trinity of pilgrimages, having previously walked from West Cork to Santiago de Compostela (2,500km) in 2010 and to Rome (3,500km) in 2018. She is undertaking the pilgrimage in the spirit of medieval bardic harpers who undertook the same journey and played their harp to people along the route.
The 52-year-old said she is eager to hit the road again after being curtailed by the pandemic for the past two years.
‘The more I wait, the older I get, so I’ve got to go now and I’ve made it to Santiago and Rome in the past so hopefully I can reach Jerusalem in a year,’ said Anja.
‘It’s going to be a longer and more difficult journey, crossing even more countries, including trekking across mainland Europe and into Turkey. So I decided to set up a GoFundMe page to make sure I’m safe and healthy and don’t run out of resources along the way. I may need €50 a day and also need to get insurance and it’s important that I look after myself.’
Anja expects that she and Sean (in all his 26-string glory) will be on the road for just over a year, and as well as playing to as many people along the route as she possibly can, she’ll also be posting live updates of her epic journey.
‘I’ll have Sean – who weighs 10kg – a hammock, a sleeping bag and a bivy bag on my backpack so I will be walking between 10 to 16 miles a day with 20kg on my back. The last time it took me five months and a week to get to Rome.’
And she was amazed with the generosity of people that she met along that pilgrimage.
‘People put me up and I did a lot of couch-surfing in France, Italy and Switzerland,’ she recalled.
‘I was interviewed on local BBC stations when crossing through the UK and I generally found that people wanted to help me. I even had a bunch of RAF women put me up when they heard what I was doing.’
Anja sets out on her pilgrimage with Sean from Clonakilty on Saturday April 2nd and will be taking in several West Cork places including Drimoleague, Dunmanway and Gougane Barra before leaving the country.

Mikaela Mayer smitten with UK boxing fans and can’t wait to return for big money fights and Primark bargains
MIKAELA MAYER wants a UK return for big-money fights, world title belts and Primark bargains.
The 31-year-old super-featherweight world champion visited Cardiff and London last month while doing a commentary shift for Sky Sports.
And - after Saturday’s defence against Jennifer Han in her California home - the 16-0 bombshell fancies a British comeback so she can thrill our dedicated boxing fans and fill her wardrobe with deals.
Mayer told SunSport: “I loved my trip to the UK, I only managed one pint of beer because I was so busy but I plan to get back soon to fight one of your champions.
“British boxing fans are some of the best in the world, it feels like boxing is your No1 sport whereas in the States boxing is fighting for attention with American football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey and even Hollywood.
“I want to become undisputed at super-featherweight but it’s proving annoyingly difficult to get the other two champions to face me so I will not hang around and if there are bigger fights out there, at higher weights, then I am ready to go and get them.
“If that’s the winner of Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano or Chantelle Cameron then great.
“It’ll give me an excuse to come back and raid Primark again as I bought some great stuff over there and we don’t have them in America so I can kill two birds with one stone.”
Ireland’s undisputed lightweight queen Taylor defends her titles against SEVEN-weight champ Serrano on April 30 in New York.
And Northampton’s Cameron has two of the four major super-lightweight world titles.
Mayer is watching both closely as she considers her next step after the breakout November win over Maiva Hamadouche.

She said: “I have bought my ticket for Taylor vs Serrano and will be ringside.
“I would love to fight the winner of that. I have the perfect body type to be able to go up a few weight classes. I want to be undisputed in my division but I will not sit around and wait.
“It feels like we are in a golden age of female boxing, we have a lot of great champions and - importantly - most of these girls want to make the biggest and best fights.”
Not many boxers would boast about their Primark penchant but Mayer is different from the label-loving cliche fighter on Instagram flashing the cash.
“I do not own a single designer item - of anything,” she said proudly.
“No designer shoes, watch, belt, purse, handbag, anything.
“I invest my money in assets that I know will grow, I buy properties and stocks. I am not ‘that type’ at all.
“I have learned how to invest and value my money properly. If I was a male fighter I would have millions by now but I still wouldn’t have blown through it all.
“I earn my money the hardest way so there is no chance of me blowing any of it.”
Watch Mayer vs Han on Sky Sports in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The Fabricant, a digital fashion house with an ambition to build the “wardrobe of the metaverse,” said it has secured $14 million in a Series A funding round.
Among new investors in the Amsterdam-based firm are Ashton Kutcher and Guy Oseary’s Sound Ventures, Red DAO and Koji Capital.
The Fabricant said the new funding, led by Greenfield One, would support and expand its “co-creation and NFT platform” dubbed The Fabricant Studio.
“The company’s ultimate mission is to build a decentralized fashion house that will dress the population of the metaverse and create a more equitable, creative and sustainable fashion industry,” the company said in a release. “The Fabricant Studio allows anyone to create, trade and wear digital-only garments.”
It estimates that by 2025, 100 million people will be metaverse-ready and clad in digital garments, and it touts The Fabricant platform as a place “where anyone can become a digital fashion creator and participate in the digital fashion economy.”
Established in 2018, The Fabricant creates digital couture NFT collectibles for the 3D digital fashion space. To date, it has worked with brands including Adidas, Off-White, Napapijri, Puma and Peak Performance.
The Series A round includes “renewed participation from previous investors including 4impact, Slingshot Ventures and Borski Fund.”
Other contributors to the A round include Stefano Rosso, son of Diesel and OTB founder Renzo Rosso, a member of the OTB board, and chief executive officer of Brave Virtual Xperience, a new company created to help brands across its portfolio develop projects, products and initiatives intended for the metaverse.
The Fabricant also noted that Epic Games recently awarded it a mega-grant open to digital creators for projects utilizing its Unreal Engine software.
“Within virtual environments, we are likely going to have multiple digital reflections of our physical self,” said Jascha Samadi, partner of Greenfield One, one of the new investors. “The Fabricant Studio allows any creator to become their own fashion designer in the metaverse. Paired with Web3 technology, digital fashion becomes unique, tradable and accessible for the masses.”
Samadi added that the team behind The Fabricant “identified this paradigm of user-generated fashion very early on, long before NFTs caught mainstream attention.”

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — A DHL cargo jet has broken in half after sliding off the runway while landing at San Jose’s international airport.
The crash Thursday shut down the airport, but the two crewmen aboard were reported uninjured.
The fire department says the Boeing 757 had taken off from Juan Santamaría Airport just west of the capital but decided to return after detecting a failure in the hydraulic system. Officials say that upon landing the aircraft skidded, turned and broke in two, exposing its cargo.
A spokesman for cargo carrier DHL says both pilots were unharmed but one was being undergoing a medical check as a precaution.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A 26-year-old woman was charged Thursday night after police said she stole merchandise from a Nashville children’s clothing retailer and a high-end retail store multiple times.
According to warrants, on February 22, Angela Simpson walked into the Gucci store located at 2126 Abbott Martin Road at The Mall at Green Hills and took three purses totaling $10,900. Then weeks later, on March 18 around 6:41 p.m., police said Simpson went back to the same Gucci store and took 11 purses valued at $21,580.
Hours before that, on March 18 at 4:10 p.m., the warrants said Simpson stole $2,000 worth of merchandise from Carter’s located at 8149 Sawyer Brown Road at One Bellevue Place. About two weeks later, officials say Simpson went back to the same Carter’s store and stole merchandise valued at about $3,000.
In each theft, police said Simpson passed all points of sale and walked out of the stores without paying. However, a witness was able to reportedly provide police with Simson’s vehicle VIN number.
Officers said they tracked down Simpson’s vehicle at her Hermitage home and identified her through video surveillance collected.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union has imposed sanctions on two adult daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of a new package of measures targeting Russia’s economy, businessmen and oligarchs in retaliation for the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, according to two EU officials.
The EU included Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova in its updated list of individuals facing an assets freeze and travel ban. The two EU officials from different EU member countries spoke Friday on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the updated list of individuals and entities sanctioned has not been published yet.
The move from the European bloc follows a similar move two days earlier by the United States.
In the wake of evidence of torture and killings emerging from war zones outside Kyiv, the EU decided to impose a fifth package of measures.
“These latest sanctions were adopted following the atrocities committed by Russian armed forces in Bucha and other places under Russian occupation,” said Josep Borrell, the EU’s top diplomat. “The aim of our sanctions is to stop the reckless, inhuman and aggressive behavior of the Russian troops and make clear to the decision makers in the Kremlin that their illegal aggression comes at a heavy cost.”
In addition to sanctions on individuals and members of their families, oligarchs and high-ranking Kremlin officials, the 27-nation bloc also formally approved Friday an embargo on coal imports starting in August, as well as a full transaction ban on four key Russian banks representing 23% of market share in the Russian banking sector.
Also, vessels registered under the Russian flag are now prohibited to access EU ports, with an exception for agricultural and food products, humanitarian aid and energy.
This is the first time that EU sanctions target Russia’s lucrative energy industry over its war in Ukraine. According to the EU council, imports of coal into the region are currently worth 8 billion euros per year.
The EU has already started working on additional sanctions, including on oil imports.
EU officials said the impact of the bloc’s sanctions so far over the first four weeks shows that imports into the 27 nations from Russia dropped off by 9% in terms of value, and over 20% in terms of volume. Trade from the EU to Russia has fallen by three quarters.

If you’re wondering how to get Ankha to move to your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons, we’ve got all the details you need, as well as tips to raise your friendship level.
There are hundreds of adorable villagers that can move to your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons and they’ll usually appear entirely at random. But what if there’s a specific character you want to move in?
One popular villager is Ankha, the “snooty cat villager” who takes inspiration from Egyptian royalty. If you want her to move to your island, there are a few different methods you can try, which we’ll explain below.

Who is Ankha in Animal Crossing New Horizons?
Ankha is described as a “snooty cat villager” in the Animal Crossing franchise. She’s appeared in every game except Animal Forest and Wild World, and over time she’s become quite a popular villager.
Her name is based on the ankh, the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that means ‘life’, and her appearance is inspired by the famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra.
How to get Ankha to move to your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons
There are three ways to get Ankha to move to your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons:
- Visit other islands and convince her to move when you find her.
- Purchase her Amiibo Card and she will instantly move to your island.
- Wait for her to arrive at your island’s campsite and convince her to stay.
The only guaranteed method is to purchase Ankha’s Amiibo Card and scan it into the game. Her card only appeared in Series 2 of the Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards collection, so make sure you get the correct set.

This could be time-consuming (and expensive!) though, as cards are sold at random in sealed packs of three. You might have better luck purchasing her Amiibo Card second-hand from a website like eBay.

The alternative methods are to visit other islands and hope you find Ankha or wait for her to visit your island’s campsite. This could take months, though, as there are hundreds of villagers to cycle through.
How to increase friendship with Ankha in Animal Crossing
Ankha has the ‘Snooty’ personality trait, so she’s not the easiest villager to become good friends with. She will get along well with Cranky and Normal villagers, but will clash with Lazy and Jock villagers.
Advertisement
One of the best ways to increase your friendship with Ankha is to give her presents that are Historical in nature, as these are her favorite. Anything that’s yellow is good too, as that’s her favorite color.
Some other facts worth considering are that Ankha’s favorite song is K.K. Bazaar and her birthday takes place on September 22.
That’s everything you need to know about Ankha in Animal Crossing New Horizons! Check out some other guides below:
