Long-Term Clinical Benefit and Prolonged Tumor Response Seen With 40.7% Objective Response Rate
No New Safety Signals Observed
Longest Follow-Up of Patients Treated With a KRAS G12C Inhibitor
Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) today announced the presentation of long-term efficacy and safety data from the CodeBreaK 100 Phase 12 trial in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received LUMAKRAS ® (sotorasib)*. The two-year follow-up data will be presented orally as part of a clinical trials plenary session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting on April 10, 2022 . LUMAKRAS is the first and only KRAS G12C inhibitor to-date to show long-term clinical benefit and overall survival in patients with NSCLC harboring the KRAS G12C mutation.
"With regulatory approvals in nearly 40 countries and thousands of patients treated, LUMAKRAS, the only approved KRAS G12C inhibitor, is a transformative targeted therapy for the treatment of patients living with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC," said David M. Reese , M.D., executive vice president of Research and Development at Amgen. "We are pleased with these latest results from the CodeBreaK 100 study, which represent the longest follow-up of patients treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor and confirm rapid, deep and durable responses in patients receiving LUMAKRAS."
In this long-term, two-year analysis of 174 heavily pre-treated patients (172 with baseline measurable lesion(s)), LUMAKRAS demonstrated a centrally confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 40.7%, disease control rate (DCR) of 83.7% and median duration of response (DOR) of 12.3 months. Five patients achieved complete responses and 65 patients achieved partial responses. The results also showed median progression-free survival (PFS) of 6.3 months and overall survival (OS) of 12.5 months with 32.5% of patients still alive at two years. No new safety signals for LUMAKRAS were identified with the long-term follow-up.
"Since the FDA approval almost a year ago, LUMAKRAS has changed the treatment paradigm for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who harbor the KRAS G12C mutation," said Grace Dy , M.D., chief, thoracic oncology, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. "The durable efficacy and positive benefit-risk profile seen in the two-year analysis of CodeBreaK 100 highlight the important role this innovative targeted therapy can offer long-term."
In May 2021 , LUMAKRAS was the first KRAS G12C inhibitor to receive regulatory approval with its approval in the U.S., under accelerated approval. LUMAKRAS is now approved in 39 countries.
*LUMAKRAS is marketed as LUMYKRAS ® (sotorasib) in the European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland .
About LUMAKRAS ® /LUMYKRAS ® (sotorasib)
Amgen took on one of the toughest challenges of the last 40 years in cancer research by developing LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS, a KRAS G12C inhibitor. 1 LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS has demonstrated a positive benefit-risk profile with rapid, deep, and durable anticancer activity in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the KRAS G12C mutation with a once daily oral formulation. 2

To date, over 4,000 patients around the world have received LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS through the clinical development program and commercial use.
In May 2021 , LUMAKRAS was the first KRAS G12C inhibitor to receive regulatory approval with its approval in the U.S., under accelerated approval. LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS is also approved in the European Union, Japan , United Arab Emirates , South Korea and Switzerland and in Australia , Brazil , Canada , and Great Britain under the FDA's Project Orbis. Through Project Orbis, Amgen also has Marketing Authorization Applications (MAAs) for sotorasib in review in Israel and Singapore . Additionally, Amgen has submitted MAAs in Argentina , Colombia , Hong Kong , Kuwait , Malaysia , Mexico , Qatar , Saudi Arabia , Taiwan , Thailand and Turkey .
LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS is also being studied in multiple other solid tumors. 3
About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and the KRAS G12C Mutation
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and it accounts for more deaths worldwide than colon cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. 4 Overall survival rates for NSCLC are improving but remain poor for patients with advanced disease and 5-year survival is only 7% for those with metastatic disease. 5
KRAS G12C is the most common KRAS mutation in NSCLC. 6 About 13% of patients with NSCLC harbor the KRAS G12C mutation. 7 Unmet medical need remains high and treatment options are limited for NSCLC patients with the KRAS G12C mutation whose first-line treatment has failed to work or has stopped working. The outcomes with other approved therapies are suboptimal, with a median progression-free survival of approximately four months following second-line treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC. 8
About CodeBreaK
The CodeBreaK clinical development program for Amgen's drug sotorasib is designed to study patients with an advanced solid tumor with the KRAS G12C mutation and address the longstanding unmet medical need for these cancers.
CodeBreaK 100, the Phase 1 and 2, first-in-human, open-label multicenter study, enrolled patients with KRAS G12C-mutant solid tumors. 9 Eligible patients must have received a prior line of systemic anticancer therapy, consistent with their tumor type and stage of disease. The primary endpoint for the Phase 2 study was centrally assessed objective response rate. The Phase 2 trial in NSCLC enrolled 126 patients, 124 of whom had centrally evaluable lesions by RECIST at baseline. 2 The Phase 2 trial in colorectal cancer (CRC) is fully enrolled and results have been published. 10
CodeBreaK 200, the global Phase 3 randomized active-controlled study comparing sotorasib to docetaxel in KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC completed enrollment of 345 patients. Eligible patients had previously treated, locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival and key secondary endpoints include overall survival, objective response rate, and patient-reported outcomes. 11
Amgen also has several Phase 1b studies investigating sotorasib monotherapy and sotorasib combination therapy across various advanced solid tumors (CodeBreaK 101) open for enrollment. 12 A Phase 2 randomized study will evaluate sotorasib in patients with stage IV KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC in need of first-line treatment (CodeBreaK 201). 13

LUMAKRAS ® (sotorasib) Important U.S. Safety Information
Hepatotoxicity
- LUMAKRAS can cause hepatotoxicity, which may lead to drug-induced liver injury and hepatitis.
- Among 357 patients who received LUMAKRAS in CodeBreaK 100, hepatotoxicity occurred in 1.7% (all grades) and 1.4% (Grade 3). A total of 18% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST); 6% were Grade 3 and 0.6% were Grade 4. In addition to dose interruption or reduction, 5% of patients received corticosteroids for the treatment of hepatotoxicity.
- Monitor liver function tests (ALT, AST and total bilirubin) prior to the start of LUMAKRAS every 3 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, then once a month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase and/or bilirubin elevations.
- Withhold, dose reduce or permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS based on severity of adverse reaction.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis
- LUMAKRAS can cause ILD/pneumonitis that can be fatal. Among 357 patients who received LUMAKRAS in CodeBreaK 100, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 0.8% of patients, all cases were Grade 3 or 4 at onset, and 1 case was fatal. LUMAKRAS was discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 0.6% of patients.
- Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold LUMAKRAS in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements on the outcome, benefits and synergies of collaborations, or potential collaborations, with any other company (including BeiGene, Ltd., Kyowa-Kirin Co., Ltd., or any collaboration to manufacture therapeutic antibodies against COVID-19), the performance of Otezla ® (apremilast) (including anticipated Otezla sales growth and the timing of non-GAAP EPS accretion), the Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc. acquisition, or the Teneobio, Inc. acquisition, as well as estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes, effects of pandemics or other widespread health problems such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business, and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for us to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and we expect similar variability in the future. Even when clinical trials are successful, regulatory authorities may question the sufficiency for approval of the trial endpoints we have selected. We develop product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as we may have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, we or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products, including our devices, after they are on the market.
Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products and global economic conditions. In addition, sales of our products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, our business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. We perform a substantial amount of our commercial manufacturing activities at a few key facilities, including in Puerto Rico , and also depend on third parties for a portion of our manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. An outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as COVID-19, and the public and governmental effort to mitigate against the spread of such disease, could have a significant adverse effect on the supply of materials for our manufacturing activities, the distribution of our products, the commercialization of our product candidates, and our clinical trial operations, and any such events may have a material adverse effect on our product development, product sales, business and results of operations. We rely on collaborations with third parties for the development of some of our product candidates and for the commercialization and sales of some of our commercial products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to many of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of our distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with us. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to collaborate with or acquire other companies, products or technology, and to integrate the operations of companies or to support the products or technology we have acquired, may not be successful. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and our data. Our stock price is volatile and may be affected by a number of events. Our business and operations may be negatively affected by the failure, or perceived failure, of achieving our environmental, social and governance objectives. The effects of global climate change and related natural disasters could negatively affect our business and operations. Global economic conditions may magnify certain risks that affect our business. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock. We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s Civil Guard says it is investigating a businessman in the eastern Valencia region who owned a private taxidermy collection with more than 1,000 stuffed animals, including just over 400 from protected species and at least one specimen of a North African oryx, already extinct.
The collection would fetch 29 million euros ($31.5 million) on the black market, the Civil Guard said Sunday in a statement, adding that its owner could be charged with trafficking and other crimes against the environment.
It said the finding was the largest of protected stuffed specimens in Spain.
Investigating agents found the stuffed animals in two warehouses extending over 50,000 square meters on the outskirts of Bétera, a small town north of the eastern coastal city of Valencia.
Of the 1,090 stuffed animals found, 405 belonged to specimens protected by the CITES convention on wildlife protection.
They included the scimitar oryx, also known as the Sahara oryx, which the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, or IUCN, declared extinct in the wild in 2000, and at least two more species nearly extinct: the addax, or white antelope, originally from the Sahara desert and the Bengal tiger.
The agents also recorded stuffed specimens of cheetah, leopard, lion, lynx, polar bear, snow panther and white rhinoceros, among others, as well as 198 large ivory tusks from elephants.
The Civil Guard said it would investigate whether any documents exist justifying the ownership of the collection.

We’ve reached the final day of the 2021-22 regular season, with every team in the NBA in action Sunday. The 20 teams eligible for the postseason are set, but the seeds are still up in the air. The following teams have already been slotted into seeds.
Eastern Conference
Miami Heat - No. 1 seed
Toronto Raptors - No. 5 seed
Chicago Bulls - No. 6 seed
Western Conference
Phoenix Suns - No. 1 seed
Memphis Grizzlies - No. 2 seed
The eight play-in teams are also set, with the West matchups already determined. It’ll be Timberwolves-Clippers and Pelicans-Spurs. The winner of Timberwolves-Clippers is the No. 7 seed, while the loser will face the winner of Pelicans-Spurs for the No. 8 seed. In the East, it’ll be the Nets, Hawks, Hornets and Cavaliers in some fashion for the play-in games. Here’s a look at the seeding scenarios for every team in Sunday’s games.
East
Milwaukee Bucks - The Bucks can clinch the No. 2 seed with a win or a Celtics loss. If the Bucks lose and the Celtics win, Milwaukee is the No. 3 seed.
Boston Celtics - If the Celtics win, they’ll be either the No. 2 or No. 3 seed depending on the Bucks result. If they lose and the 76ers win, the Celtics will be the No. 4 seed and would play Toronto.
Philadelphia 76ers - The 76ers need to win and have the Celtics lose to grab the No. 3 seed. Otherwise, they’ll be the No. 4 seed and they’ll play Toronto.
Brooklyn Nets - The Nets are the No. 7 if they win or the Cavaliers lose. If Brooklyn loses while Cleveland and Charlotte win, the Nets would be the No. 9 seed. The Nets would be the No. 8 seed if they lose, Cleveland wins and Charlotte loses.
Charlotte Hornets - If Charlotte, Indiana, Milwaukee and Houston win, the Hornets would jump up to No. 7. However, the Hornets are dependent on other results to move up. They could still finish as the No. 10 seed even with a win, meaning they’ll need results in the Nets and Cavaliers games to actually determine their spot.
Cleveland Cavaliers - If the Cavaliers win and Nets lose, Cleveland is No. 7. If the Cavaliers lose, they could slip all the way to No. 10 if both Charlotte and Atlanta win.
Atlanta Hawks - Like the Hornets, the Hawks are dependent on other results to determine their spot. The most likely outcome for them is No. 9, but they could go anywhere from 8-10.

West
Golden State Warriors - The Warriors are the No. 3 seed with either a win over a Mavericks loss. If Dallas wins and Golden State loses, the Warriors would be the No. 4 seed.
Dallas Mavericks - If the Mavericks win and the Warriors lose, they’ll be the No. 3 seed. If the Mavericks lose, they are the No. 4 seed.
Utah Jazz - If the Jazz win, they are the No. 5 seed. If they lose and the Nuggets win, the Jazz are the No. 6 seed.
Denver Nuggets - If the Nuggets win and the Jazz lose, Denver clinches the No. 5 seed. Otherwise, the Nuggets are locked into the No. 6 spot.

The United States of America gained its independence from the British in 1776. But the Empire was so big and so extended in almost any sector of the world, that even two centuries later there were a lot of ways in which you had to deal with them. There were no alternatives. You either signed a contract with the British or you’d have to find other ways of running your business that were not as easy and secure.
Henry Ford wasn’t the kind of man that you could strongarm into something he didn’t like. The man was an international legend, a figure that many looked up to for inspiration or courage. He paid the highest wages in America, established the 8-hour workday, offered discounts to Ford’s employees for things they made, and managed to kickstart the birth of an industrial giant. He also had some controversial views and was almost a declared supporter of the horrific Nazi regime, but that’s not our focus here.
After having to deal with the British for rubber, he decided to source its own. The material was a vital component for tires and wiring. Ramping up production of different vehicles, meant the quantity of rubber bought had to increase. The British weren’t so keen on giving more for the same price. Other suppliers were too far.
That’s why Henry Ford immediately looked for different suppliers and stumbled upon a great idea: the creation of a city in a different country that promoted the American way of life and guaranteed enough raw material sourced and processed locally.
He tried it in the U.S., but it didn’t work. A Republican senator stopped the proceedings and the rubber trees weren’t going to grow as they did in other countries.
Fordlandia in the making
The industrialist set his focus on Brazil after President Henry Roosevelt inspired him to do this. After quick negotiations, he received “Boa Vista” from the state of Para thanks to its governor that went to the U.S. and signed the deal. Ford got 2.5 million acres of land and the only thing they had to give back was 9% of the profits. The authorities even got rid of the taxes on exportation.
The American company didn’t waste any precious time. Work started on-site in 1926. The goal was to create a village at first, which later would’ve been turned into a small city. The official statement was revolving around the idea of creating opportunities for locals and almost nobody admitted they were doing this for money or for independence from the British.
Tragically for Ford, the result was a huge loss.
Henry Ford didn’t know anything about rubber trees, but he put his hopes in various experts that promised him they knew what they were doing. Ships were sent from the U.S. with clothes, tools, and other important stuff. The reports sent back were good. It looked like it was prone to work marvelously.
Errors in the making
The first step was turning the land into a rubber tree plantation, as the Amazon Forest in that specific Brazilian area wasn’t home to many of these important saplings. They cleared the area, but the problem was that accessing the site was a hassle for ships. This meant food was arriving late and nobody took responsibility to change things fast. Moreover, the person responsible for the entire operation didn’t have any agricultural experience.
The first thing they built was a water tower with the Ford branding on it and next to it… The rubber factory! It was set up quite fast after the initial hurdles were cleared. But it was only a big shed. Nothing worked because there was no way of making tires without rubber.
However, people directed their efforts on making Fordlandia a real location in which you could’ve lived happily. A real attempt was made by those that were engaged in this huge operation. Management, however, was close to disastrous. Executives didn’t know anything about running an agricultural business or a city.
Furthermore, a clash of cultures happened. Locals were unfamiliar with American fast-food and Midwest-like housing, while measures like banning alcohol, woman, and sports were considered very unpopular by those employed there, to say the least. In the end, a revolt happened. The Ford bosses were chased away, communication lines were cut, and the entire thing collapsed in a little under a decade with no solution in sight. Brazilian authorities weren't keen on helping either.
The American carmaker abandoned Fordlandia, and Henry Ford never got to see the place on his own. The project was relocated to another Brazilian city, where rubber trees already existed. The money spent there was forever lost. More so, the second attempt failed to meet expectations too. Synthetic rubber was invented, and this discovery made the natural resource not as important.
The American automaker gave up on Brazil, but the city still exists, and people live there even to this day.
Fordlandia was a utopian dream that proved why carmakers need to be extra careful when they make decisions. It also showed that you need qualified people around you if you’d like to succeed in something this big.
Henry Ford wasn’t the kind of man that you could strongarm into something he didn’t like. The man was an international legend, a figure that many looked up to for inspiration or courage. He paid the highest wages in America, established the 8-hour workday, offered discounts to Ford’s employees for things they made, and managed to kickstart the birth of an industrial giant. He also had some controversial views and was almost a declared supporter of the horrific Nazi regime, but that’s not our focus here.
After having to deal with the British for rubber, he decided to source its own. The material was a vital component for tires and wiring. Ramping up production of different vehicles, meant the quantity of rubber bought had to increase. The British weren’t so keen on giving more for the same price. Other suppliers were too far.
That’s why Henry Ford immediately looked for different suppliers and stumbled upon a great idea: the creation of a city in a different country that promoted the American way of life and guaranteed enough raw material sourced and processed locally.
He tried it in the U.S., but it didn’t work. A Republican senator stopped the proceedings and the rubber trees weren’t going to grow as they did in other countries.
Fordlandia in the making
The industrialist set his focus on Brazil after President Henry Roosevelt inspired him to do this. After quick negotiations, he received “Boa Vista” from the state of Para thanks to its governor that went to the U.S. and signed the deal. Ford got 2.5 million acres of land and the only thing they had to give back was 9% of the profits. The authorities even got rid of the taxes on exportation.
The American company didn’t waste any precious time. Work started on-site in 1926. The goal was to create a village at first, which later would’ve been turned into a small city. The official statement was revolving around the idea of creating opportunities for locals and almost nobody admitted they were doing this for money or for independence from the British.
Tragically for Ford, the result was a huge loss.
Henry Ford didn’t know anything about rubber trees, but he put his hopes in various experts that promised him they knew what they were doing. Ships were sent from the U.S. with clothes, tools, and other important stuff. The reports sent back were good. It looked like it was prone to work marvelously.
Errors in the making
The first step was turning the land into a rubber tree plantation, as the Amazon Forest in that specific Brazilian area wasn’t home to many of these important saplings. They cleared the area, but the problem was that accessing the site was a hassle for ships. This meant food was arriving late and nobody took responsibility to change things fast. Moreover, the person responsible for the entire operation didn’t have any agricultural experience.
The first thing they built was a water tower with the Ford branding on it and next to it… The rubber factory! It was set up quite fast after the initial hurdles were cleared. But it was only a big shed. Nothing worked because there was no way of making tires without rubber.

Female suspects can be strip-searched by transgender women who were born male, according to recent police guidance.
The new advice issued by the National Police Chief's Council (NPCC) to British police chiefs advises each force to recognise the new identity of transgender officers from the "moment they transition".
"Thus, once a Transgender colleague has transitioned, they will search persons of the same gender as their own lived gender,' the guidance reads.
If the suspect objects to being searched by a transgender officer, the council says it might be "advisable" to swap to a different cop.
But if refusal is based on discriminatory views, the council says a "non-crime hate incident" should be recorded.
The guidance - which was released quietly in December - was revealed by former superintendent Cathy Larkman, the Mail On Sunday reports.
Mrs Larkman, 54, who served as a police officer for 30 years, says she became worried about recent scandals causing women to lose trust in policing.
One case she mentioned was the tragic murder of Sarah Everard by former Met police officer, Wayne Couzens, who falsely arrested her for breaking Covid restrictions before kidnapping, raping and then killing her.
Before the guidance was published, mum-of-three Mrs Larkman wrote to several policing bodies seeking clarification about whether women have a choice about the sex of the officer searching them.
Under existing laws, strip searches must be carried out by an officer of the same sex.
But Mrs Larkman - supported by the Women's Rights Network - was left stunned when the NPCC shared the guidance with her last week.
She told The Mail on Sunday: "The more I read it, the more shocked I was.
"This is a devastating blow to women's trust in the police. Women are not even an afterthought in this guidance — they are completely non-existent. Everything is geared towards the sensitivities of the officer doing the searching.
"They claim they are trying to be inclusive. But this isn't inclusive of women and it doesn't respect their sex."
She went on to say the guidance shows where the "priorities" of chief officers currently lay - which is not with the concerns of women.
Mrs Larkman claimed the NPCC's discussions about reducing gender-based violence are just filled with "hollow words".
It comes after the Equality and Human Rights Commission ruled that gyms, hospitals and shops are allowed, by law, to offer single-sex services.
And just days later, Boris Johnson waded into the trans-rights row, saying "biological males" should not take part in women's sport and venues should have women-only spaces.
The Prime Minister said that was "as far as my thinking has developed" on trans rights and "seems to me to be sensible", though he acknowledged he may be "in conflict with some others".
He was speaking at a hospital in Hertfordshire on Wednesday after more than 100 organisations pulled out of a major LGBT conference - Safe To Be Me, planned for June - in protest over his failure to include trans conversion therapy in a government ban on the practices.
The PM said he was "sad about the reaction", which came after a partial U-turn in which the government banned all gay conversion therapy,
But he refused to back down, adding he believed women-only spaces should be protected and "biological males" should be excluded from women's sport.
He added he was "very proud" of his record on LGBT issues but "complexities and sensitivities" remain around the ban.

Proteas closing in on victory after declaration against Bangladesh
The Proteas took three wickets in the final session as they tightened their grip on the second Test against Bangladesh in Gqeberha on Sunday.
Needing 386 to win and with two days in which to do so, the Tigers ended day 3 on 27 for 3 after 9.1 overs.
The hosts declared on 176 for 6, leaving Bangladesh with 412 to win in what would be a record-breaking run chase at St George’s Park. SA, who batted to a first innings 453, had wrapped up the tourists’ tail to limit them to 217 in the second session, a deficit of 236.
When stumps were drawn, captain Mominul Haque was not out on 5 off 22, while Mushfiqur Rahim was yet to face a delivery.
The hosts lost three wickets late in the day, when Mahmudul Hasan Joy (0 off 1) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (7 off 10) fell to the bowling of Keshav Maharaj inside the first five overs. Simon Harmer then dismissed opener Tamim Iqbal, caught by Wiaan Mulder for 13 off 22 balls shortly before stumps.
Earlier, Left arm spinner Taijul Islam led the Bangladesh fightback by taking three wickets as SA declared in the final session.
The Proteas went to tea on 84 for two with a lead of 320 after a 60-run opening stand between Dean Elgar and Sarel Erwee.
Captain Elgar (26 off 29) was bowled trying a reverse sweep before Keegan Petersen (14 off 25) was trapped leg before wicket, the review being upheld by umpire Allahudien Palekar before the tea break, both wickets going to Taijul.
Erwee (41 off 66) chipped Khaled Ahmed straight to captain Mominul Haque, leaving the home side on 90 for 3.
Ryan Rickelton was next to go for 12, caught by captain Mominul Haque of Taijul at short mid-on before Temba Bavuma (30 off 56) was trapped lbw by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, his review turned down by umpire Allahudien Palekar, with SA on 154 for 5.
When Wiaan Mulder (6 off 15) fell, bowled by Mehidy, SA declared.
Taijul ended with 9 for 202 in the match, while Mehidy finished with 3-119.
When play resumed in the morning, Bangladesh mounted a fightback as Yasir Ali and Mushfiqur Rahim produced a 70-run partnership after a light drizzle saw the start delayed by 20 minutes on Sunday morning, before both lost their wickets in the first session.
Ali and Rahim spent 111 together for their sixth-wicket partnership as they continued to frustrate the Proteas attack.
Spinners Harmer and Maharaj cleaned up the visitors' tail, taking the final three wickets for seven runs in 17 minutes after lunch.
Harmer had Islam (5) and Ebadot Hossain (0) caught by Lizaad Williams either side of Maharaj’s dismissal of Mehidy for 11.
Harmer and Mulder ended with figures of 3-39 and 3-25 respectively, while Olivier and Maharaj claimed two wickets apiece.

More crust!
For Sky-Hi News
I’m beginning to think of wind as a four-letter word. The furious winds of this past week have put a sudden end to grooming at Snow Mountain Ranch for the season due to downed trees and forest litter scattered over the trails. Devil’s Thumb is holding out with snowmobile grooming through the end of the weekend. While neither area made it to Easter this year, we give thanks to our local touring centers for seeing us through two years of a pandemic, providing us with a place to go and recreate with relative normalcy. We would love to keep the season going, but understand that skier demand is dwindling as skiers transform into runners, bikers, hikers and other land-based recreationists. Committed skiing enthusiasts will continue to enjoy crusted meadows, perhaps even following the snow up to higher elevations to extend the season further.
Crust season has indeed arrived and has proven to be of quite decent quality! The morning snowpacks have been solid on many days, with supportive snow lingering until the sun is high in the sky. Conditions have varied from corrugated and mildly sun-cupped to satin smooth, with occasional thin fresh snow layers providing a bit of texture to give the edges a little something to bite into, as well as whitening up the surface which ultimately helps it melt just a little slower. In some cases, south-facing aspects have melted out quickly, limiting terrain choices and revealing the thinness and fragility of the veneer of snow that barely covered the sagebrush and ground cover of exposed ridges. Elsewhere, in darkest forest shade, dry powder can still be found in spare amounts, but the sun-splashed and glazed meadow expanses are the main attraction.
The biggest appeal of skiing on the crust is the freedom and sense of adventure found when you’re released from the confines of the trail. Exploration is possible without leaving a trace, without needing a map and led by whim and whimsy. Glassy, flat seas of white might extend as far as the eyes can see up and down the valley. Rolling wind-blown drifts or evenly covered boulders create smooth mounds of various sizes and shapes, providing rounded, sensuous surfaces to slide one’s skis over. Freedom to roam… not to be taken for granted!
This freedom is just the ticket for casual and competitive skiers alike. As much as it is fun, it can be a rejuvenating break from rigorous training. For the competitive skier, crust season can be a psychological respite from developing the mental toughness it takes to be a strong racer. Spring is a time to let the body and mind recover and to recharge the batteries before preparing to start the process of goal-oriented training and skiing all over again.
The 100+ mph winds that ripped through the valley earlier in the week were the strongest recorded in the state, knocking trees over and shutting down power as well as ski lifts. Those winds will undoubtedly have loaded leeward slopes to the east, creating heavy unstable loads along the crest of the Divide as well as in our east-facing corniced cirques up by Berthoud Pass. They will likely need some time and a few cycles of temperature fluctuation to consolidate sufficiently to be considered stable. Beware the wind-slab! Enjoy the snow safely!

AP Cabinet Reshuffle: Kodali Nani to be appointed as chairman of State Development Board
The Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy decided to give various posts to appease those who had served as ministers in the old cabinet. In this context, it seems that Kodali Nani will be appointed as the Chairman of the State Development Board
Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy decided to give various posts to appease those who had served as ministers in the old cabinet. In this context, it seems that Kodali Nani will be appointed as the Chairman of the State Development Board while Malladi Vishnu will be allowed to be the Vice Chairman of the Planning Board.
The government has decided to appoint Narasapuram MLA Mudunuri Prasada Raju as the Chief Whip of the government, Kolagatla Veerabhadraswamy will be appointed as the Deputy Speaker. Due to the lack of representation of Aryans in the current cabinet, it was decided to allow Kolagatla to become the Deputy Speaker.
In the new cabinet, Suresh from the Prakasam district has got the opportunity once again
Although Balineni Srinivasa Reddy and Adimulapu Suresh were the senior ministers in the old cabinet from the district, only one of them was given a chance. Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy himself went to Balineni's home and pacified him.
In the seniors category, Dharmana Prasada Rao and Pinipe Viswarup got the chance. The Chief Minister has already announced that women will be given a niche position and given more priority in the new cabinet. However, those who got the chance to be ministers in the new cabinet will have to wait for a few more hours to find out the portfolios.

A mayoral reception was accorded to national and local officers of the ICA by Mayor of Clonmel, Cllr Michael Murphy, in Town Hall.
The event was attended by ICA National President, Hilda Roche, National Secretary, Joanne Dunphy Allen, National Treasurer, Mary O’Halloran, Chair of National ICA Advisory Committee and President of South Tipperary ICA Federation, Ann Lonergan and South West Regional President June O’Dwyer and federation committee members.
The reception was accorded by Cllr Murphy and attended by Deputy Mayor Cllr John Fitzgerald and councillors Siobhán Ambrose and Richie Molloy.
At the reception, the councillors each spoke about the ICA. The Irish Countrywomen’s Association brings together both rural and urban women and their communities in fellowship and through co-operative effort.
ICA are noted for offering support, friendship, personal development, education and life-long learning.
ICA has due regard for Irish culture and the use of the Irish language in the affairs of Bantracht na Tuaithe.
And, through its advocacy work, networks with many community-based initiatives and facilities located all around Ireland.
The attendees at this occasion were overwhelmed by the Mayoral Reception as they were treated like royalty. “It was a memorable occasion and a highlight of the conference weekend and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mayor Michael Murphy and fellow councillors for according us this great honour,” said Anne Lonergan.
South Tipperary ICA Federation were pleased to be chosen to host the 2022 national spring conference at Clonmel Talbot Hotel, which also housed a wonderful exhibition by the federation, a unique visual collection of memorabilia and crafts from its foundation in 1941.
The exhibition was further enhanced by contributions from Tipperary County Museum.
Local businesses also contributed to its success, with products from The Honey Pot, Hickey’s Bakery, Quirke Pharmacy, Rivecsi, Camida, Blanco-Nino, Annie’s Organic Farm, Tullahay Farm, Kinvara Skincare, Tipperary Tourism Company, Tipperary Food Producers and Inis Fragrances of Ireland.
After a sumptuous meal at the Talbot Hotel, the federation entertained the national executives and presidents and guilds of ICA attending the conference.
The entertainment was provided by Ryan/Cummins Dance Academy, Mick Mackey, seanachái/musician, Carrick-on-Suir and Rathkeevan ICA guilds.
South Tipperary ICA Federation is rich in ICA history even prior to its foundation, including the first ICA Summer School on the slopes of Slievenamon in 1929.
ENTERPRISE
That enterprise led to the foundation of ICA’s “all-year round” Adult-Education College at An Grianán, a beautiful stately home, built in the 18th Century, situated in Termonfeckin in county Louth.
In the early 1920s it was bought by Helen Lentaigne, who allowed the newly constituted Irish Countrywomen’s Association the use of Newtown House as a venue for one of the first ICA Summer Schools during the 1930s.
In July 1945 Mrs Lentaigne sold Newtown House to the Irish Tourist Board, who renovated the premises and opened the house as Tearman Hotel.
The seeds of An Grianán were sown in 1952, when Muriel Gahan of the ICA proposed the idea for a residential college for social and educational purposes to Dr Morris, of the WK Kellogg Foundation of America, through a chance introduction.
It was purchased and entrusted for the benefit of the people of Ireland and in October 1954 it was officially opened by the then President of Ireland, Seán T O’Kelly.
The ICA’s 2022 spring conference was an astounding success.
Presentations were made on Informing the Future of ICA, Climate Action and Sustainability, International Women’s Day, Celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge, tackling domestic, sexual and gender based violence and launching the AID Drive for Ukraine.
A music and movement segment by Dr Steven Byrne, University of Limerick contributed to a fulfilling and informative weekend for all the attending delegates from around the country.
Covid-19 hit a lot of associations to a large extent, curtailing meetings and activities so it was gratifying to hear about the in-person and virtual activities that some guilds still managed to carry out during the easing of Covid restrictions.
Outdoor meet ups for cuppas and chats, Million Stars Project, craft days, organised walks, pitch & putt, golf, drama, trips to An Grianán, odd socks for Downs Syndrome, shoe boxes for team hope, calico dolls for babies, scrubs for nursing homes, wreath making, celebrating Nollaig na mBan, pole walking and gardening.
CREATIVE MEMBERS
It was astounding to hear how creative members had been in spite of the pandemic. An ICA lady does not rest on one’s laurels.
When Covid-19 numbers rose again and a short lockdown occurred more than ever ICA members realised that never before in human history has it been possible to communicate so quickly during a pandemic, social media platforms have been a key piece for the dissemination of information among our membership with conferencing services.
The ICA has successfully been able to hold meetings during restrictions.
However, the virtual meeting was not reaching all members as not all members are computer literate or had the facilities. Federation presidents tried to keep contact with members via telephone.
To be able to hold this conference in person was such a relief to so many ICA members and added to its success.

Beloved bald eagle in Bay View euthanized, showed symptoms of Avian Influenza
By Alex Corradetti
Click here for updates on this story
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (WDJT) — A beloved bald eagle in Bay View with symptoms of Avian Influenza had to be humanely euthanized on Saturday, April 9 by the Wisconsin Humane Society.
Wildlife rescue rehabilitators were called to a Bay View neighborhood Friday afternoon due to reports of a potentially injured or sick bald eagle in the front yard of a residence.
CBS 58 spoke with Tracey Blaszczyk, a Bay View resident who has been watching the eagle with her daughter for the last few weeks.
“We were watching the eagles for a little over a month now, there’s a set of them, a male and a female and they were nesting,” said Blaszczyk.
During their daily observations, Blaszczyk says her daughter saw the eagle had fallen from her nest.
“She saw the eagle sitting on the stairs, part of the neighbor’s house. We started calling DNR, Humane Society.”
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Wisconsin Humane Society arrived on the scene shortly after. They took the eagle under their wing for care, but despite their best efforts, her condition declined rapidly. The Wisconsin Humane Society released the following statement on Saturday:
“According to Wisconsin Humane society, “Since her admission, we’ve been providing supportive care, but despite our best efforts, her condition declined rapidly, and she showed significant neurological problems. We’ve been consulting with veterinary and disease experts since her arrival, and hoped to see signs of improvement today. Unfortunately, she had a severe seizure, went into acute respiratory distress, and could not be saved. She was humanely euthanized. Her symptoms were consistent with HPAI, the highly pathogenic avian influenza, although we can’t confirm that was the cause of her illness until test results come in, which will take several days. We know how passionately the Bay View community cared about the pair of bald eagles nesting in their neighborhood, and we cannot thank our whole community enough for your compassion. We appreciate the counsel from our consulting veterinarian, numerous medical specialists, and officials with the DNR, whom we have been working with closely on this highly transmissible virus. We are mourning the loss of this eagle alongside our community.”
CBS 58 also spoke with Dr. Scott Ford, an Avian Specialist in Wisconsin about Avian Influenza. He says there are certain symptoms of the Avian Influenza to look for in birds.
“Nasal discharge, discharge from the eyes and they may breathe more labored and also neurological symptoms are a part of it which was I think the case with this bald eagle. For pet chicken owners, they may see a drop in egg production and perhaps diarrhea.”
Ford has his own pet chickens and is concerned about how quickly the bird flu is spreading. Ford says pet chicken owners can contact their vet or USDA APHIS if they have concerns about their birds possibly having Avian Influenza.
“They picked up that Canada goose up in Milwaukee and now this bald eagle. I’m sure there will be others as well. It’s pretty serious it’s getting around.”
The news left residents in Bay View distraught, upset that an animal so majestic could be taken from this world so quickly.
“They are so beautiful to watch. To see it become so sick and find out it passed away is so devastating. It’s not very often we get a set of eagles in Milwaukee County, especially in someone’s front yard,” said one Bay View resident.
For now, the male eagle is alive. CBS 58 spotted the bird perched on a high branch of a tree about a block from where his female mate fell from their nest. Experts advise everyone to steer clear of any birds on the ground.
“Give them a wide birth and call the DNR and they’ll respond to it just like they did with this bald eagle.”
The Humane Society is testing the female eagle for the Avian flu. They expect to have those results in the next few days. Avian specialists say to stay at least 300 feet away.

Karnataka Government has passed the Anti-Conversion Bill in the Assembly despite stiff opposition from civil society and political parties. The Bill is expected to be tabled in the upper house to be made into a law. The Anti-Conversion Laws affect Christians, Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis and Women. It restricts the rights of an Indian citizen to choose one’s religion. It violates the equality and freedom of religions in India as per the Indian Constitution. It is discriminatory as well as draconian. The National Solidarity forum initiated a campaign to Repeal Anti-Conversion Laws in India. The appeal is to support the campaign through endorsements on: https://chng.it/gBYcGCPZyV
The National Solidarity Forum (NSF) is a coalition of groups and individuals across India, upholding the principles of secularism, human rights, peace, justice and harmony.

Man suspected of burying mom, sister in backyard arrested
LYONS, Ill. (AP) - A man suspected of concealing the deaths of his mother and sister has been arrested on felony charges nearly a year after their bodies were found buried in the backyard of their suburban Chicago house.
Lyons Police Chief Thomas Herion said Thursday that 45-year-old Michael Lelko will be formally charged with two felony counts of concealment of a death. Herion said Lelko also could face federal charges in connection to his alleged cashing of his mother’s Social Security checks for years after she died.
In August, police discovered the bodies of 79-year-old Jean Lelko and 44-year-old Jennifer Lelko. Both bodies had been buried in plastic tubs that had been sealed with duct tape, according to the Associated Press. Police say Lelko told them his mother died in 2015 and his sister died in 2019.
Herion said charges were not filed for several months because the bodies were not positively identified until this year. Autopsies could not determine the cause of death for either woman.
Herion said Michael Lelko’s 41-year-old brother, John Lelko, remains the subject of an investigation, the AP reports. He could face obstruction charges because he initially told police that his mother and sister were alive and living elsewhere, even though he knew they were both dead.

Which Razer gaming keyboards are best?
A keyboard is one of the most critical components of your computer, but it is equally one of the most exciting. There is a large variety of styles, models and designs from which to choose. Some have extra keys, while others are brightly lit with millions of colors.
Whatever your preference, if you are a gamer, you need a keyboard that can keep up with your playing style. That is why you should have the best Razer gaming keyboard by looking no further than the Razer Huntsman V2.
What to know before you buy a Razer gaming keyboard
Keyboard layout
A keyboard is the most central point to control all the action on the screen. It needs to have all the keys that your game utilizes and additional keys for more functions. Consider what keyboard layout you prefer and whether you want the ability to create your own macros. A full Razer keyboard will also have a numerical keypad and multimedia buttons.
Response time for faster reactions
Every millisecond in a game can mean the difference between winning and losing, you need to have the fastest keyboard response time. This is often referred to as the polling time, and it is the frequency at which the keyboard will check for new key presses. If you play fast-paced games, consider a keyboard with a high polling rate.
Mechanical vs. membrane keyboard
Gaming keyboards generally come in two different types: mechanical keys or membrane keys. This is the key type that determines the travel time of the key press and how quickly the keyboard registers it. Mechanical keys are the loudest and also come in different variations. Consider whether you want a mechanical keyboard or a keyboard that uses the standard membrane mechanism.
What to look for in a quality Razer gaming keyboard
Full color or RGB lighting
Red, green and blue lighting has been incorporated in almost every computer component available. A standard feature in Razer keyboards, the lighting allows you to change the effects on the keys. Many keyboards also allow you to change the color of the individual keys and the color around the keyboard’s edges.
Resting your wrists
Gaming sessions can last for several hours at a time, and your wrists and hands are bound to become tired. A good Razer gaming keyboard will have a wrist rest where you can take some of the strain off. It typically uses sturdy foam and is just high enough so that you don’t put too much effort into keeping your hands in a comfortable position when playing or typing.
Onboard memory
Depending on the Razer gaming keyboard that you get, you will have the ability to program macros switches, additional functions and save the RGB lighting profile. All of that information needs to be stored somewhere, which is usually on the keyboard itself. For this, the onboard memory of a keyboard will determine how much information can be stored. A good Razer gaming keyboard will allow you to create and store dozens of separate profiles to suit the game you are playing.
How much you can expect to spend on a Razer gaming keyboard
The price of a Razer gaming keyboard will generally depend on the model and the keyboard’s capabilities. An entry-level gaming keyboard can retail for $40-$80, while the top gaming keyboards can retail for as much as $200-$400.
Razer gaming keyboard FAQ
Does a Razer gaming keyboard work with Windows and Mac computers?
A. Generally, Razer keyboards are designed to work with Windows-based computers. However, some keyboards do have partial support for Mac computers. The keys are laid out differently than the Mac keyboard, so that is something that you need to keep in mind.
Can you change the keys on a Razer gaming keyboard?
A. Yes, you can. Whether you have Cherry MX or Razer keycaps, you can change them to a different style or mechanical method. Just keep in mind that you can’t put mechanical keycaps on a membrane keyboard.

- While two of Aymeric Laporte’s last-ditch tackles saved City from going behind
- Raheem Sterling was unfortunate to see his goal disallowed for an offside call
- Virgil van Dijk gave possession away on plenty of occasions but did bloke Jesus
- Thiago provided an exceptional pass to open the hosts up for Diogo Jota’s goal
- Sadio Mane was constant problem in behind and got some joy out of Kyle Walker
- Sportsmail have analysed how the Man City and Liverpool players performed
Sunday's top of the table clash between Manchester City and Liverpool ended in a draw after an exciting game of football at the Etihad Stadium.
Leaders Man City and second-placed Liverpool are still separated by one point after their Premier League showdown on Sunday afternoon.
Sportsmail's Jack Gaughan has rated the players' performances on Sunday afternoon.
Sunday's top of the table clash between Manchester City and Liverpool ended in a draw
MANCHESTER CITY (4-2-3-1)
EDERSON - 6
Swept up as expected with ice in his veins. Home fans panicked when almost losing possession on his line.
KYLE WALKER – 5.5
Won’t want to look back on Sadio Mane’s goal again. Horribly out of position. Had been playing well.
JOHN STONES - 6
Kept it really simple when Jurgen Klopp’s side secured a foothold. Back to basics did the job.
AYMERIC LAPORTE - 7
Seemingly communication issues in the back line but two of Laporte’s last-ditch tackles were vital.
Two of Aymeric Laporte’s last-ditch tackles were vital against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon
JOAO CANCELO – 7
Very difficult to pick up from deep and a constant pest; clever assist for the second goal before half-time.
RODRI - 6.5
Liverpool didn’t allow the Spaniard to see nearly as much of the ball as normal. Few crucial interventions.
BERNARDO SILVA - 7
All-action as always. The Portuguese’s little individual mistakes were in keeping with the breathless encounter.
GABRIEL JESUS – 7.5
Thrown in for the biggest game because of his workrate and then popped up with a first league goal since September.
KEVIN DE BRUYNE – 8
Having a barnstorming few weeks and ran proceedings for spells. Has reached his peak at the right time for City.
Kevin De Bruyne has been on fire as of late and provided City's opening goal against Liverpool
PHIL FODEN - 7
Some moments of staggering quality, particularly when running at pace. Chances never quite dropped or him.
RAHEEM STERLING - 6
Unfortunate to see goal disallowed for a tight offside. Tireless but decision-making occasionally lacked.
Subs
Riyad Mahrez (for Sterling 75)
Jack Grealish (for Jesus 83)
Subs not used: Steffen, Ake, Gundogan, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, McAtee, Lavia
Manager – PEP GUARDIOLA
Raheem Sterling was unfortunate to see his goal disallowed for a tight offside call
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3)
ALISSON - 6
Completed a couple decent stops, although the Brazilian’s distribution was an issue early in the game.
TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD – 6.5
Superb going forward, a hand in both goals, but shoddy defensively to allow Jesus’ goal at the back post.
Trent Alexander-Arnold superb going forward and had a hand in both goals on Sunday
JOEL MATIP – 5.5
Not overly comfortable with the high line he was asked to play. A tough assignment against City’s deep runners.
VIRGIL VAN DIJK - 7
Gave possession away on plenty of occasions but did produce a huge block to spurn Jesus at 2-2.
ANDREW ROBERTSON - 6
Very similar to the other three full backs on show: very good with the ball, not quite so much without it.
JORDAN HENDERSON – 5.5
A peripheral figure in the midfield battle. There were others who made far larger contributions.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was a peripheral figure in the midfield battle
FABINHO - 6.5
Needless foul to give away before the first goal but improved significantly thereafter. Helped Liverpool’s control.
THIAGO – 7
Game-splitting crossfield pass opened the hosts up for Diogo Jota’s goal and tenacious defensively.
MOHAMED SALAH – 7.5
Got through some admirable work going the wrong way and moments of class in the final third.
DIOGO JOTA – 7.5
Major threat in behind and a crucial component of their attempts to stretch the City back four.
SADIO MANE – 7
A constant problem in behind and got some joy out of Walker. Clinical finish just after the break.
Sadio Mane (left) was constant problem in behind and got some joy out of Kyle Walker
Subs
Luis Diaz (for Jota 70) 6
Naby Keita (for Henderson 78)
Roberto Firmino (for Mane 84)
Subs not used: Kelleher, Konate, Milner, Gomez, Jones, Tsimikas
Manager – JURGEN KLOPP
Referee: ANTHONY TAYLOR

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The leader of the Michigan Supreme Court announced Sunday she had tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing cold-like symptoms.
Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack said in a statement that she was tested Saturday and had notified the court’s other justices and other close contacts.
McCormack said she had a negative result on a COVID-19 test on Tuesday ahead the court hearing oral arguments Wednesday.
“As previously noted, I am fully vaccinated, and have had two boosters,” McCormack said.
Court spokesman John Nevin said he knew of no current illnesses among the six other justices and that McCormack planned to follow COVID-19 quarantine guidelines.
McCormack has been a justice on Michigan’s highest court since 2013 and became the chief justice in 2019. She previously was a professor and dean at the University of Michigan Law School.

WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — A trove of paintings and other artwork found in an abandoned barn has turned out to be worth millions.
Notified by a contractor, Waterbury auto mechanic Jared Whipple retrieved the dirt-covered pieces in 2017 from a dumpster containing materials from a barn in Watertown. Whipple later found out they were by Francis Hines, an abstract expressionist who died in 2016 at 96 and had kept his work stored in the barn, Hearst Connecticut Media Group reported.
Hines was renowned for his “wrapping” pieces, in which fabric is wrapped around an object. His art has been compared to that of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who became famous for wrapping installations around Europe, including the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Hines wrapped more than 10 buildings in New York including the Washington Square Arch, JFK Airport and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, art curator and historian Peter Hastings Falk told the news outlet.
People are also reading…
The hundreds of pieces of art retrieved by Whipple included paintings, sculptures and small drawings. Hastings Falk estimated the “wrapped” paintings can be sold at around $22,000 apiece and his drawings at around $4,500.
Whipple showed some of the pieces at a gallery in Waterbury last year, and recently decided to sell some of the art. He is collaborating with Hollis Taggart, a New York City-based gallery, on exhibits in New York and Connecticut in shows beginning next month.
Since finding the treasure trove, Whipple has researched Hines' work and contacted the artist's family, who, he said, have allowed him to keep and sell the art.
“I pulled it out of this dumpster and I fell in love with it," Whipple told the news outlet. “I made a connection with it. My purpose is to get Hines into the history books.”

Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey says Liverpool midfielder Fabinho was “lucky” not to be sent off against Manchester City.
Manchester City and Liverpool ended 2-2, after a fantastic, end to end encounter, which of course, didn’t come without talking points.
Speaking to Caught Offside, Halsey believes Fabinho could have been sent off for a challenge in the second half.
“I think had Anthony Taylor shown Fabinho a red card in that situation, it wouldn’t have been reviewed, it would have stayed a red card. You could say that Fabinho was perhaps lucky to only see a yellow card and not a red,” said Halsey.
The Fabinho challenge was a difficult one for the officials as it was not a clear and obvious error. The VAR officials stuck with the on-field decision from the referee, but Halsey believes it could have easily gone the other way.
“If you look at City’s second goal, Jesus, I think it’s an excellent decision by the assistant referee to keep his flag down,” added Halsey.
Jesus stayed onside by a matter of inches to finish well after an excellent ball from Joao Cancelo, and there should be no questions asked of the officials for that one, as Halsey confirms.
“Sterling’s disallowed goal, clearly offside. You can’t argue about that. Offside is a matter of fact and it’s a fairly easy decision,” said Halsey.
Overall, Halsey believed Anthony Taylor handled the game well, saying: “Anthony has come off that game, and nobody is talking about him.”
If the referee is the talking point of a game, rather than the players, it’s rarely due to positive reviews, but heavy criticism instead. The conversation following the game is centred around the excellent football on display, rather than the referee, which is a compliment to Taylor’s performance in the middle.

Portea may raise up to ₹1,000 cr via IPO
2 min read . Updated: 11 Apr 2022, 12:50 AM ISTThe Bengaluru-based company is likely to file the draft red herring prospectus with Sebi in May
The Bengaluru-based company is likely to file the draft red herring prospectus with Sebi in May
MUMBAI : Portea Medical Pvt. Ltd, India’s largest home healthcare provider, plans to raise around ₹900-1,000 crore through an initial public offering, two people aware of the matter said.
Existing shareholders will sell shares worth ₹700 crore and the company will sell new shares of ₹200 crore, the people said on condition of anonymity.
Portea is likely to file the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in May, one of the people cited above said.
Emailed queries sent to an external spokesperson for the company seeking comment on Friday were not answered.
The Bengaluru-based company offers services, including mother and child care, nutrition and diet consultation, physiotherapy, nursing, lab tests, counselling, elder care for parents and critical care, according to its website.
The proceeds from the public offering will be used to expand its operations.
The company has a presence in cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Ghaziabad, Bengaluru, Ludhiana, Jaipur, Guwahati, Ahmedabad, Vijayawada, Bhubaneshwar and Kochi.
Portea manages more than 120,000 patient visits each month and works with more than 50 hospital partners, 15 pharma companies, and leading insurance companies in India.
The company reported a loss of ₹48,093 as of 31 March 2021, according to documents from VCCEdge.
On the balance sheet, there are trade payables of ₹22 lakh and liabilities of ₹32 lakh. On the receivables side, the company has ₹4 lakh and some cash balances.
Commenting on the company’s financials, a veteran market expert said, “The company’s balance sheet is not in a great shape. The reserves and surplus are in negative. Share capital is minimal while the company is surviving on long-term borrowing of ₹2 crore".
“For the DRHP to be approved, the company will have to file financials for the current year. The unsecured loan is from Healthvista India Pvt. Ltd, its parent firm. Possibly, they are likely to convert their loan into equity. They owe money to MSMEs where they may face litigation, but the filing doesn’t show any litigation," he said.
The company also provides a collection of lab samples and offers medical equipment for sale or on hire, as well as patient assistance programmes for chronic disease management.
“Portea has built its own technology platform to help its providers adhere to standard operating procedures, access diagnostic tools, share information, and manage records for each patient," its website said.

By The Associated Press
It’s almost Easter in Ukraine, where faith, hope and charity are on display at a trio of churches on the far edges of the capital.
Sunday services were held in Bucha even as bodies were being removed from a mass grave in the churchyard. In Makarov, the faithful were moved to tears at the sight of crosses scattered in broken glass. And in Borodyanka, a church was untouched near where Russian attacks ripped open a high-rise. That’s where donations are bringing help to elderly people who stayed while others fled Russian occupation.
Ukrainian authorities said weeks ago that at least 59 spiritual sites were damaged. On the day when Pope Francis called for an Easter truce in Ukraine to make way for a negotiated peace, church visitors invoked God in recalling their survival.
“Each person who was leaving, from any place, Makarov, Bucha, Hostomel or from Andriivka, the neighboring village which was destroyed to the ground; each one, even those who did not know the Lord’s Prayer, he was speaking to God with his own words,” said Alona Parkhomenko in Makarov, where the church exterior was speckled with bullet holes and the priest warned of falling glass.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR:
— US: Russia’s new battlefield commander has history of brutality
— Ukraine digs in to fight Russia’s looming eastern offensive
— Ukraine churches display faith, hope and charity amid wreckage
— Analysis: War, economy could weaken Putin’s place as leader
— Biden, Modi to speak as India avoids hard line on Russia
— Zelenskyy, in AP interview, says he seeks peace despite atrocities

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS:
WASHINGTON — Russia’s newly appointed battlefield commander in Ukraine made his reputation crushing resistance to Syrian President Bashar Assad during that country’s devastating civil war.
Russian forces led by Gen. Alexander Dvornikov destroyed whole cities while dropping barrel bombs that targeted civilians. With Moscow supporting Assad, the war in Syria has killed more than 350,000 people.
Lt. Col. Fares al-Bayoush, a Syrian army defector, said Sunday he expects a similar “scorched-earth” strategy under the commander in Ukraine. Speaking by telephone from Turkey, al-Bayoush said he believes the aim of naming Dvornikov as Ukraine war commander is to cause widespread destruction in many places at once.
“He has very good experience in this policy,” al-Bayoush said. “This commander is a war criminal.”

KYIV, Ukraine — The mayor of Kyiv and his brother said the visit of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to their capital shows who Ukraine’s real friends are at this critical time. But they understand if security concerns keep U.S. President Joe Biden from visiting for now.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko and his brother Wladimir have been professional boxers and now outspoken defenders of Ukraine. Interviewed Sunday on ABC News “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” they said they expect Russia’s military to return and target Kyiv again. And when they do, they said they can’t defend Ukraine with their fists — they need weapons.
Wladimir Klitschko also pleaded for the world to isolate Russia economically, saying “every cent that Russia is getting, they’re using for weapons to kill us.”
Vitali Klitschko said everyone was shocked when the Russians who pushed on Kyiv retreated after killing hundreds of civilians during their occupation. He called it genocide to kill women, children, old people and teenagers for no reason.
To defend Ukraine now, the mayor said, is to defend democracy and peace in Europe.

WILMINGTON, Del. — The White House said President Joe Biden will press Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take a hard line against Russia’s Ukraine invasion. Press Secretary Jen Psaki says the leaders plan a virtual meeting on Monday.
India’s neutral stance in the war has raised concerns in Washington and earned praise from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who lauded India this month for judging “the situation in its entirety, not just in a one-sided way.”
India abstained when the U.N. General Assembly voted Thursday to suspend Russia from its seat on the 47-member Human Rights Council over allegations of war crimes. India continues to purchase Russian energy despite Western pressure to avoid buying Russian oil and gas. And the U.S. has considered sanctions on India for its recent purchase of advanced Russian air defense systems.
Psaki’s statement says Biden will discuss how Russia’s war against Ukraine is destabilizing the global food supply and commodity markets, and the need to strengthen the global economy while ”upholding a free, open, rules-based international order to bolster security, democracy, and prosperity.”

BERLIN — Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday.
The Austria Press Agency reported that Nehammer told reporters in Vienna on Sunday that he plans to make the journey. It follows a trip on Saturday to Kyiv, where he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
APA reported that Nehammer aims to encourage dialogue between Ukraine and Russia and also address “war crimes” in his meeting with Putin.
Austria is a member of the European Union and has backed the 27-nation bloc’s sanctions against Russia, though it so far has opposed cutting off deliveries of Russian gas. The country is militarily neutral and is not a member of NATO.
Nehammer said he was taking the trip on his own initiative, and that he had consulted with the European Union’s top officials. He said that he also informed Zelenskyy and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
___
BERLIN — The U.N. nuclear watchdog said Ukraine said the staff at the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant has been rotated for the first time in three weeks after Russian troops left the area.
The Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed concern about the well-being of the workers since the Russian military took control of the site of the 1986 nuclear disaster at the beginning of the war.
The agency said Ukraine informed it on Sunday that it has now rotated the staff, but the situation remains far from normal. They had to be transported to and from the site by water, with the Pripyat River being the only way for people living in the city of Slavutych to currently reach the plant.
The IAEA said Ukraine has informed it that analytical laboratories for radiation monitoring at the site were destroyed, with analytical instruments “stolen, broken or otherwise disabled.” The automated transmission of radiation monitoring data has been disabled.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — The governor of the region that includes Ukraine’s fourth-largest city, Dnipro, says the airport was hit twice by missile attacks on Sunday. The Ukrainian military command said Russian forces also keep shelling Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, and have kept up their siege of Mariupol, the key southern port city that has been under attack for nearly six weeks.
The Russian Defense Ministry says it’s air-launched missiles hit Ukraine’s S-300 air defense missile systems in two locations, while sea-launched cruise missiles destroyed a Ukrainian unit’s headquarters in the Dnipro region. Neither side’s military claims could be independently verified.
The Pentagon said Russia has a clear advantage in armored forces for its next phase in its war on Ukraine. Press secretary John Kirby said Friday that the Russians spread themselves too thin to take the capital, but now they’re more focused on a smaller region, and still have the vast majority of their combat power. A major effort by Ukrainian defenses and more Western assistance will be needed to push them back.
___
WASHINGTON — A senior U.S. official said Russia has appointed a new commander to oversee its war on Ukraine.
The official speaking on condition of anonymity said Russia has turned to one of its most experienced military officers, Gen. Alexander Dvornikov. U.S. officials say the 60-year-old general has a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other theaters of war.
The White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told CNN on Sunday that “this general will just be another author of crimes and brutality against Ukrainian civilians.” And he said “no appointment of any general can erase the fact that Russia has already faced a strategic failure in Ukraine.”
The new battlefield leadership comes as Russia gears up for what is expected to be a large and more focused push to expand Russian control in the Donbas after failing to conquer the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. Sullivan reiterated support for the Ukrainian government, saying the United States is determined to do all it can to help Ukrainians resist this general and the forces he commands.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s border guard agency says that about 2,200 Ukrainian men of fighting age have been detained so far while trying to leave the country in violation of martial law.
The agency said Sunday that some of them have used forged documents and others tried to bribe border guards to get out of the country.
It said some have been found dead while trying to cross the Carpathian mountains in adverse weather, without specifying the number.
Under martial law, Ukrainian men between 18 and 60 are barred from leaving the country so that they can be called up to fight.
___
WARSAW, Poland — Sirens have sounded in some Polish cities to mark the anniversary of a 2010 plane crash that killed the country’s president, despite protests that their sound would be unnecessarily traumatic for refugees from the war in Ukraine.
The sirens early Sunday were intended to add to the significance and the plaintive character of observances honoring the late President Lech Kaczynski, the first lady and 94 other prominent Poles killed 12 years ago in the crash of the presidential plane in Russia. Kaczynski was the twin of Jaroslaw Kaczynski — the leader of the main governing Law and Justice party.
Provincial governors ignored calls not to use the sirens out of concern for refugees from neighboring Ukraine, traumatized by air raid alarms. Authorities sent text messages to refugees’ phones that the sirens would mean no danger.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian military says Russia has been beefing up its forces and trying to probe Ukrainian defenses.
The Ukrainian military command said Sunday that the Russian troops have continued attempts to break Ukrainian defenses near Izyum, southeast of Kharkiv. It reported that Russia was sending reinforcements to Izyum while continuing the shelling of Kharkiv.
The military added that the Russians also continued their attempts to take control of Mariupol, the Sea of Azov port that has been besieged by Russian forces for nearly 1 ½ months.
After Russia’s attempt to capture Kyiv and other big cities in northeastern Ukraine quickly failed, Ukrainian and Western officials expect Moscow to launch a new offensive in eastern Ukraine, where Russia-backed separatists have fought Ukrainian forces for eight years.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he focused on the need to track down perpetrators of war crimes in a phone call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Zelenskyy said on Twitter that in Sunday’s call “we emphasized that all perpetrators of war crimes must be identified and punished.”
Ukraine has accused Russia of atrocities against civilians in Bucha and other places near Kyiv, where hundreds of slaughtered civilians, many with their hands bound and signs of torture, were found after Russian troops retreated.
Zelenskyy also said he and Scholz “discussed anti-Russian sanctions, defense and financial support for Ukraine.”
___
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has opened Holy Week with a call for an Easter truce in Ukraine to make room for a negotiated peace, highlighting the need for leaders to “make some sacrifices for the good of the people.”
Celebrating Palm Sunday Mass before crowds in St. Peter’s Square for the first time since the pandemic, Pope Francis called for “weapons to be laid down to begin an Easter truce, not to reload weapons and resume fighting, no! A truce to reach peace through real negotiations.”
Francis did not refer directly to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the reference was clear. He has repeatedly denounced the war and the suffering brought to innocent civilians.
___
HELSINKI — Finland says that a shipment of art works from Russian museums has been returned to Russia after it was seized under European Union sanctions against Moscow.
Finland’s customs service said late Saturday that the Foreign Ministry granted a special permit to return the consignment with a total insured value of around 42 million euros ($46 million). It said that trucks carrying the art works from the Hermitage Museum and the Pavlovsk State Museum in St. Petersburg, among others, left Finnish territory on Saturday afternoon.
The shipment was seized at the Vaalimaa border crossing at the beginning of April. The works were en route to Russia after loan to museums in Europe and Japan. Experts say that art works loaned from Russia typically travel overland via Finland.
Russia has demanded the return of all works on loan to “unfriendly” nations that imposed sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine.
___
MOSCOW — The Russian military says it has struck Ukrainian air defense batteries in the country’s south and east.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Sunday that the military used air-launched missiles to hit Ukraine’s S-300 air defense missile systems in Starobohdanivka in the southern Mykolaiv region and at an air base in Chuhuiv in the eastern Kharkiv region.
Konashenkov also said that sea-launched cruise missiles destroyed the headquarters of a Ukrainian military unit near Zvonetske in the Dnipro region.
The Russian military claims couldn’t be independently verified.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk says more civilians are expected to leave Mariupol Sunday in their personal vehicles.
Evacuations are also planned from Berdyansk, Tokmak and Enerhodar in the south and Sieverierodonetsk, Lysychansk, Popasna and Rubizhne in the east.
Mariupol, a strategic port city on the Sea of Azov, has been besieged by Russian forces for nearly 1 ½ months, cut from food, water and power supplies and pummeled by relentless bombardment that has killed at least 5,000, according to local officials.
Ukrainian authorities have urged civilians in the east to evacuate in the face of an imminent Russian offensive. They accused Russia of killing 52 people on Friday at the train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk as they were preparing to evacuate.
___
GENEVA — The U.N. refugee agency says the number of people who have left Ukraine since the beginning of the war has reached 4.5 million.
A regular update Sunday of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees’ online portal on numbers of refugees fleeing Ukraine since Feb. 24 brought the total to some 4.504 million.
About 2.6 million of those fled at least initially to Poland and more than 686,000 to Romania. However, UNHCR notes that there are very few border controls within the European Union and it believes “a large number of people” have moved on from the first country they arrived in.
___
LONDON — Britain’s Ministry of Defense says that Russia’s armed forces are seeking to respond to mounting losses by boosting troop numbers with personnel who had been discharged from military service since 2012.
In an intelligence update on Twitter, the ministry also said Sunday that the Russian military’s efforts to “generate more fighting power” also include trying to recruit from Trans-Dniester, a breakaway region in Moldova that borders Ukraine.
Russia maintains some 1,500 troops in the region, which is not internationally recognized.
___
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told The Associated Press on Saturday that he is committed to seeking peace despite Russian attacks on civilians that have stunned the world.
He said no one wants to negotiate with people who tortured their nation — “as a man, as a father, I understand this very well.” But he said “we don’t want to lose opportunities, if we have them, for a diplomatic solution.”
Zelenskyy said he’s confident Ukrainians would accept peace despite the horrors they have witnessed in the war. But meanwhile, Russian troops are regrouping for an expected surge in fighting in eastern Ukraine, including the besieged port city of Mariupol that Ukrainian defenders are battling to retain.
So Zelenskyy renewed his plea for countries to send more weapons. He says they have to fight for life — not “for dust when there is nothing and no people. That’s why it is important to stop this war.”
___
KYIV, Ukraine — U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, promising so much support that his nation might never be bullied again.
Johnson’s surprise visit included a pledge of 120 armored vehicles and new anti-ship missile systems, part of another 100 million pounds ($130 million) of high-grade military equipment. Johnson also confirmed an additional $500 million in World Bank lending, taking Britain’s total loan guarantee up to $1 billion.
Johnson said Ukraine defied the odds pushing Russian forces “from the gates of Kyiv, achieving the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century.″
The prime minister credits “Zelenskyy’s resolute leadership and the invincible heroism and courage of the Ukrainian people” for thwarting what he calls the “monstrous aims” of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Johnson says Britain and its partners “are going to ratchet up the economic pressure … not just freezing assets in banks and sanctioning oligarchs but moving away from use of Russian hydrocarbons.”
Johnson also described a vision for a future Ukraine so fortified and protected by the equipment, technology and know-how of Britain and its partners that it can never be threatened in the same way again. In the meantime, Johnson said, “there is a huge amount to do to make sure that Ukraine is successful, that Ukraine wins and that Putin must fail.”

Residents across the country are being urged to switch off their lights and televisions tonight for the 'Big Power Off'. A campaign has been launched urging people to turn off all electrical items in their homes for ten minutes at 10pm - as long as it is safe.
The move is designed to highlight the cost of living crisis, exacerbated by spiralling energy bills. It has been billed as a "non-partisan action protest" and is trending on Twitter with more than 10,000 tweets.
One Facebook post that has been widely shared reads: "Tonight is the night of the big power-off. The idea is that, if it won't put you at risk, you switch off all of your electrical appliances, lights, or switch off at the breakers for 10 minutes. This short power off will cause an imbalance on the National Grid, where consumption becomes lower than predicted and therefore the electrical supply is too great. To protect the grid, power stations will be temporarily disconnected or issued notices to attenuate their output."

The blackout is planned to last until 10.10pm, at which point people will turn their devices back on - creating a surge in demand. One woman tweeted that she would simply go to bed early and not switch back on at all.
It is likely that the National Grid will attempt to manage demand during the campaign, putting power stations on and offline. Operators are used to coping with falls and surges in demand, for instance, during television programmes watched by millions.
It is not known how many people will take part but "Big Power Off" is trending on Twitter amid the football and more than 10,000 people have tweeted using the hashtag.
One social media user, @SMullenHV, wrote on Twitter: "April 10th at 10pm. Switch off all your electric power for 10 minutes. "This can cause havoc with the grid system. Spain did this and they have reduced energy back to 2019 levels. Even if it's only a gesture, its worth doing something"
Another Twitter account, @MillHillBwy, tweeted: "Sunday 10pm the big power switch off. Stand with the poorest".
The Government is under increasing pressure to help people deal with spiralling energy costs and the cost of living crisis. Its new energy strategy aims to move the UK away from Russian oil and gas in the wake of the nation's invasion of Ukraine.
The blueprint also aims to boost the UK's renewable energy sources and invest in nuclear energy in the UK - but will take years to bear fruit. Millions of households in England, Scotland and Wales could be paying hundreds of pounds more a year for electricity and gas after prices were hiked this month.
The energy price cap has been raised, meaning the maximum price suppliers can charge households is being raised. According to Ofgem, a record increase in global gas prices sees the energy price cap rise by £693 from April.

Microphones on Mars are for the first time revealing the sounds of another planet.
Microphones on NASA's Perseverance rover have recorded soundscapes revealing an audio environment on Mars quite different from that on Earth. In an unprocessed recording taken two days after landing, you’ll hear a faint thump followed by gusty winds blowing on the microphone.
The thump may come from something moving inside the rover, but most of the noise the microphone picks up comes from the wind, says Alex Stott (University of Toulouse), a member of the large international team that published analysis of the Martian recordings published online on April 1st in Nature. The group is using the soundscapes to study Mars, its atmosphere, and their interaction with the rover.
Theorists had modeled the acoustics of the Martian atmosphere before, but measurements to test the models were lacking. It was not for the lack of trying: NASA's Mars Polar Lander carried microphones but crashed in 1999, and the Phoenix Lander carried microphones when it landed successfully in 2008, but technical problems prevented them from working.
Third try’s the charm: The two microphones on Perseverance started working soon after it landed on February 18, 2021. One on the mast of its SuperCam instrument was turned on the day after landing, after the mast was deployed; it sits 2.1 meters above the ground. The second rests a meter above the ground on the Entry, Descent and Landing Camera and was turned on the second day after landing. In those positions, they pick up natural sounds from Martian winds as well as noises from the rover.
Sounds of Mars
The soundscape is sculpted by the propagation of sound waves, which depends on the pressure and composition of the gas they travel through. The air on Mars has a pressure less than 1% that of Earth’s atmosphere and is comprised of some 95% carbon dioxide, so it’s no surprise that sound behaves differently on the two planets. The differences combine to damp down sound waves about 100 times more on Mars than on Earth.
Martian winds are turbulent, generating sound and forming eddies or whirls, which shrink in scale and gradually dissipate their energy, says Stott. The thin atmosphere fosters turbulent convection and rapid pressure variations during the day, but radiative cooling is strong at night, producing stable conditions that inhibit turbulence.
Perseverance can measure the speed of sound as it fires laser pulses to vaporize rock several meters away. The microphones record the ensuing shock waves produced by the laser’s heat as clicks. Clocking the time between laser pulse and click enables scientists to measure the speed of sound, confirming that it’s 240 meters per second (540 mph), slower than the 340 m/s (760 mph) on Earth.
Measurements also show that Martian sound has other odd quirks. One is that the speed of sound jumps about 10 m/s as the sound frequency increases above 240 hertz because of vibrational resonances in the carbon dioxide that makes up most of the Martian air. That difference may seem small, but it's near the center of the audible spectrum and large enough to seem off-key to the human ear. “A similar [jump] happens on Earth, but it happens at higher frequencies and in the stratosphere,” Stott says, so nobody notices.
Sound transmission in Martian air is weaker than on Earth and drops sharply with frequency, so Mars is a quiet place. NASA’s Mars2020 website thus demonstrates the differences by contrasting common terrestrial sounds to models of what they would sound like on Mars. The sound of city traffic, for example, would drop somewhat on Mars, but birdsong would drop to almost nothing.
(Just for fun, you can even record yourself and see what you'd sound like on Mars using those same sound models!)
Sounds of Perseverance
The microphones on Mars also collect data to monitor instrument performance and test rover equipment. To test prospects for generating oxygen on Mars, NASA is running an experiment called MOXIE. “It has a lot of pumps on it,” says Stott, and sounds from the machinery can help engineers on Earth monitor its behavior, like listening to vibrations from a washing machine. The microphones also proved sensitive enough to detect noise from the small experimental helicopter Ingenuity when it became the first aircraft to fly on another planet.
“We use sound as a new way of exploring,” Stott says. Mars represents the first opportunity we’ve had to do so after many tries. It may be a while before we can explore other bodies in our solar system in the same way.
Saturn's largest moon Titan has a nitrogen-methane atmosphere with a ground pressure about 50% higher than Earth's. Ground pressure of the superheated carbon-dioxide atmosphere of Venus is more than 90 times that of Earth. But upcoming missions to these worlds, including Dragonfly to Titan and two orbiters and an atmospheric probe to Venus, will not include microphones just yet.

GUANGZHOU, China, April 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The 131st Canton Fair is set to open this April, and preparatory work for the Fair is well underway.
"Since establishing the New Energy section at the 116th Canton Fair, the development of China's new energy industry is moving at breakneck speed," Alan Liu, Deputy Director General of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Canton Fair, tells the journalist. As China attaches significant importance to clean energy development, unprecedented opportunities are provided for enterprises at home and abroad.
Energy is fundamental for human survival and development. In the early days of the founding of the PRC, the industry developed slowly due to insufficient energy productivity and low production levels. At that time, China needed to import basic commodities for lighting in daily life and furnace coke used in the iron and steel industry.
With rapid development over 70 years, China has grown into the largest energy producer across the globe. From importing energy products to the "dual carbon," goal, from a country short of oil to a "world hydropower kingdom", the Canton Fair has witnessed the extraordinary course of China's energy industry transition.
To reach climate and sustainable development goals, China proposed the targets of peak carbon by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 and made it clear that during the 14th Five Year Plan period, a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system would be built to control the total amount of fossil fuel used and shift to renewable energy. It has become a consensus among Chinese energy companies to focus on advanced technologies and innovation capabilities.
The recent games in Beijing have also become a vivid sample of China's transition toward carbon neutrality. A series of green power supply projects, represented by the Zhangbei VSC-HVDC project, ensured these games were the first to be 100 percent supplied by green power. It is expected to reduce standard coal burning by 128,000 tons and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 320,000 tons. At night, the glittering "Ice Ribbon" has left a deep impression on the global audience.
Alan Liu says, the Canton Fair will encourage and attract more green enterprises to participate, promote the full-scale green development of the exhibition, create a new model of a zero-carbon exhibition hall, set a green benchmark in the exhibition industry, and serve the national "dual carbon" strategy.

Researchers have put forward a second above-normal forecast for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season.
Colorado State University researchers on Thursday predicted 19 named storms, with nine growing into hurricanes, for the season that runs from June 1 to November 30. Four of the hurricanes could have winds topping 111 mph, according to the experts.
“Sea surface temperatures averaged across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic are currently near average, while Caribbean and subtropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are warmer than normal,” the university researchers said in a press release.
“We anticipate an above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean.”
Between 1991 and 2020, the Atlantic averaged 14.4 storms a season, with 7.2 reaching hurricane status and 3.2 a year categorized as major storms. In keeping with an AccuWeather forecast issued last week, the university prediction is based, in part, on a climatological phenomenon known as La Nina, which can limit vertical wind shear in the atmosphere.
AccuWeather has predicted 16 to 20 named storms this year, with six to eight becoming hurricanes. Four to six of the storms could directly impact the U.S., the prediction said. The forecast also gave a “high chance” of a system forming before the June 1 start of the hurricane season.
The past two hurricane seasons have exhausted lists of storm names, with a record 30 named storms in 2020 and 21 named systems in 2021.

Interesting Things to Know
Dirty finances: Crypto money laundering on the rise
By now, you’ve likely heard of bitcoin and other so-called cryptocurrencies. These assets have become hot investment vehicles in recent years, especially amid worries of economic upheaval, inflation, and more. Unfortunately, bitcoin and other currencies are frequently used for criminal activities, and right now, they offer one of the more popular ways to launder money.
Bitcoin, among other cryptocurrencies, has been used to support criminal activities for many years. Why? For one, cryptocurrencies largely exist outside traditional financial networks and government oversight is minimal. And at least with bitcoin, it’s difficult to see who owns and who is spending individual bitcoins. These attributes are great for criminals and money launderers.
Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis found that money laundering via cryptocurrencies increased by about 30 percent in 2021. However, the company also notes that laundering accounts for only about .05 percent of cryptocurrency transactions.
Through money laundering, criminals process ill-gotten money to make it look like legitimate earnings. Government authorities try to track money sourced from illegal activities. If criminals can “clean” the money, it’s much harder for governments to crack down on them. It’s believed that somewhere between $800 billion and $2 trillion is laundered globally, accounting for between 2 to 5 percent of the global GDP.
So, let’s say a criminal makes $1 million illicitly. Simply going out and spending that money might draw too much attention. Instead, they can set up a restaurant, then charge a bunch of fake meals worth $100,000 in total. Next, they take their cash and use it to pay for the fake meals. By doing so, the money looks legitimate, and tracing the funds back to their criminal source would be difficult.
Setting up companies and falsifying sales is one way to launder cash. And now, so is using cryptocurrencies.

Is it a scam? How to know if the IRS is really calling
IRS scams are everywhere, bilking people out of thousands of dollars and fraudulently obtaining their personal information.
Phone scams are big during tax season. The thing to remember is that the real IRS will never:
* Call to demand immediate payment using something like a prepaid debit card, gift card, or wire transfer. If the IRS wants money from you, they will send a letter first. It won’t come as a surprise.
* Threaten you. The IRS will never say they are going to bring police or any other kind of law enforcement personnel to arrest you.
* Demand tax payments without offering you the opportunity to appeal or even ask for details about the demand.
* Call you about a tax refund. They might write to you, but they won’t call you first.
If you receive such a call, note the number and hang up. You can report the scam at treasury.gov/tigta/reportcrime_misconduct.shtml
Interesting Things to Know
Easter jelly beans have a colorful history
They’re as common as eggs at Easter, but no one really knows exactly where the colorful, lovable jelly bean came from.
According to the National Confectioners Association, the jellied center of the sweet bean probably came from a middle eastern candy known as Turkish Delight, which was famous even in Biblical times.
The most modern part of the bean is the shell that gives the jelly bean its famous al dente bite. Today’s jelly bean is a descendent of a 17th-century process used to make the candy coating for Jordan almonds in France. In a panning process, almonds were rocked around a large bowl filled with sugar and syrup until they were coated with a candy shell. Today, machines now do the rocking and rolling.
The shell and the jelly came together in America by 1861, when the earliest known advertisement for the candy appeared. William Schrafft of Boston promoted the jelly bean and advocated sending the beans to Union soldiers at Christmas during the Civil War. By the 1930s the jelly bean had become a staple of Easter celebrations. In fact, about 16 billion beans are sold at Easter alone.
Jelly beans have also become part of the spicy candy trend that began around 2018, according to Candy Store. In 2021, the favorite flavor of the jelly beans was cinnamon. The second favorite flavor was also the most intensely hated: Black licorice — you heard that right. Coming in third was buttered popcorn and fourth was cherry.

What to do if you can’t pay your taxes
Tax day is fast approaching and that means millions of Americans are busy assembling their tax returns. While many Americans look forward to refunds, some will find themselves sending payments to Uncle Sam. And, unfortunately, not everyone will have the money to pay their taxes.
The Internal Revenue Service reports that as of 2020, more than 11 million Americans owed back taxes. With more people relying on the so-called gig economy, earning money by giving rides through platforms like Uber or through making deliveries through Doordash, unpaid tax bills and delinquent payments may rise. That’s because you have to pay taxes on such income, and often, it’s not automatically withheld.
So what do you do if you can’t pay your taxes?
Two tips:
First, don’t panic. While people get sent to jail over tax issues, it’s typically due to tax fraud and serious, willful crimes. Americans can’t be jailed simply because they’re unable to pay their income taxes. But the IRS can make your life difficult, with steep fines, property liens, and seizing your bank accounts.
Second, never ignore the problem. You still want to file your taxes on time even if you can’t make your payments. Not filing your taxes is a crime and you could find yourself in legal trouble for not doing so. You’ll also get hit with late filing fees. In some cases, you can set up monthly payment plans with the IRS. This way, you can pay your taxes in monthly installments. Payment plans will still incur fees and penalties, however.
If you can’t pay your taxes, sometimes you can reach an agreement with the IRS to settle for a lesser amount. This is called “payment in compromise” and the IRS will closely review your income and financial situation before settling.

Longest migration of any creature: The Painted Ladies arrive in late March/April
By mid-to-late March, people in California and along the southern U.S. border should begin to see the world’s most persistent and breathtaking traveler: the Painted Lady butterfly.
The Painted Lady makes the longest known migratory journey of any animal, even longer than its celebrated cousin, the monarch, according to a study published in the Journal of the National Academy of Sciences (June 2021).
Found on every continent except Antarctica and Australia, the abundant Painted Lady makes a striking migration from Africa’s Sahara Desert to the Arctic Circle. Like the monarch, the migration spans generations. At least six generations are required for the butterfly to make the 9,000-mile trek. Similar generational journeys take the butterfly from southern roosts in Mexico to Canada.
But how do these delicate creatures cross such long distances? Scientists say they fly high (up to 2,000 feet) to catch and drift on favorable winds for long distances. In the late 1990s, weather radar in Denver detected a 70-mile wide swarm of these butterflies migrating in the fall — drifting north, not south — on the winds, according to the University of Colorado Boulder Museum of Natural History.
The number of Painted Ladies making the migration varies dramatically, and research has found it depends on the rainfall and the resulting abundance of plants.
This butterfly is abundant because it feeds on lots of plants — up to 300 host plants are known. It is constantly breeding, laying eggs, and flying, with each new generation taking up the trek according to season.

How to attract great volunteers
April is National Volunteer Month. This annual campaign celebrates the contributions of millions of Americans who donate their time and energy to making their communities better places to live.
Most non-profit organizations depend on volunteers to survive. However, finding enthusiastic and dependable people who want to contribute can be a struggle. Here are some strategies that can help.
Define roles and skills
Determine what tasks you need your volunteers to perform. You may require help for an upcoming event or need assistance with aspects of your day-to-day tasks.
You should also think about what abilities you want your volunteers to possess. This may include computer, driving, or construction skills. Knowing what you’re looking for will make finding the right candidates easier.
Designate a coordinator
Assign one or two staff members to oversee the recruitment process. You’ll need someone to make decisions and keep things on track.
Identify potential volunteers
Target your recruitment campaign by determining where your volunteers are most likely to work and go to school. You should also look to your donor list; it consists of people who’ve already shown support.
Choose recruitment tactics
Decide how to get your message to the public. Several online volunteer recruitment platforms connect organizations with volunteers. You can also use social media channels and email campaigns to reach potential candidates. Or send a recruiter to a community event or college campus.
After your volunteer drive is over, review your recruitment strategy to determine what you can do better next time.

Marjorie Taylor Greene reports Jimmy Kimmel to cops over Will Smith joke
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said late Wednesday that she reported comedian Jimmy Kimmel to the U.S. Capitol Police after he joked on air that Will Smith should slap her.
Greene, a Republican from Georgia, said the late-night host’s comment amounted to a “threat of violence.”
On Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel mocked Greene for calling three GOP senators — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, and Mitt Romney of Utah — “pro-pedophile” when they declared they would vote for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation into the Supreme Court.
“Wow, where is Will Smith when you really need him, huh?” Kimmel said, appearing to reference Smith’s slap of comedian Chris Rock onstage at this year’s Oscars.
Greene’s comment referenced a line of questioning by GOP members on the Senate Judiciary Committee about Jackson issuing lenient sentences to sex offenders.
“ABC, this threat of violence against me by @jimmykimmel has been filed with the @CapitolPolice,” Greene tweeted Wednesday.
Kimmel responded on Twitter Wednesday night, writing: “Officer? I would like to report a joke.”

LONDON — Sultry musical “Cabaret” and fantastical literary adaptation “Life of Pi” were among the winners Sunday at British theater’s Olivier Awards, which returned with a live ceremony and a black-tie crowd after a three-year gap imposed by COVID-19.
The celebration of London theater, opera and dance came back to London’s Royal Albert Hall for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic shuttered Britain’s performance venues more than two years ago, weeks before the scheduled 2020 Oliviers show.
Kit Harington, Tom Felton, Emma Corrin and Jonathan Pryce were among the stars who walked the sustainable green carpet, made from reusable grass, before the glitzy, music-filled ceremony.
An intimate production of “Cabaret” that transformed London’s Playhouse Theatre into the Kit Kat Club in 1930s Berlin had 11 nominations for the Oliviers, Britain’s equivalent of Broadway’s Tony Awards. Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley are nominated in musical leading actor categories for their roles as the Emcee and Sally Bowles .
“Cabaret” director Rebecca Frecknall took the directing trophy, and said the war in Ukraine gave John Kander and Fred Ebb’s musical about the collapse of democracy and rise of fascism added poignancy.
“In a way it’s quite sad that every time it’s on it feels like it’s been written for today,” she said.
“Life of Pi,” adapted from Yann Martel’s Booker Prize-winning novel about a boy adrift at sea with a tiger, was named best new play. Hiran Abeysekera was named best actor in a play as title character Pi, while — in a first — the supporting actor prize went to seven performers who collectively play the show’s puppet tiger.
Fred Davis, one of the seven, said it was “a landmark moment for puppetry.”
Redmayne is up for best actor in a musical alongside Olly Dobson for “Back to the Future – The Musical;” Arinzé Kene for “Get Up Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical;” and Robert Lindsay for “Anything Goes.”
Buckley is competing for best actress in a musical against Sutton Foster for “Anything Goes;” Beverley Knight for “The Drifters Girl;” and Stephanie McKeon for “Frozen.”
Knight said the theater community was ready to celebrate after a difficult couple of years.
“We have been bereft of theater for so long, just had nothing. And people only realize the importance of the place that theater and live entertainment played in any society when it was taken away,” she said.
“We bring in multimillions and that’s week in, week out. So we are part of giving the economy buoyancy, but more than that, we feed the nation’s soul,” she added.
The contenders for best new musical are “Back to the Future – The Musical;” “The Drifters Girl;” “Frozen;” “Get Up Stand Up! The Bob Marley Musical;” and “Moulin Rouge!”
The show also paid musical tribute to a theater titan — composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who died last year at 91.
The last Oliviers ceremony, held largely remotely in October 2020, awarded work done before the British government ordered U.K. theaters to shut down in March 2020. Venues began reopening in mid-2021, and shows are largely up and running again, though the number of international visitors, vital to sustaining West End shows, remains well below pre-pandemic levels.
The awards were founded in 1976 and named for the late actor-director Laurence Olivier. Winners in most categories are chosen by a panel of stage professionals and theater-goers.

Litter Gitter
The “Litter Gitter” devices installed last May in Clam Bayou have been a huge success in keeping plastics from washing into the Bay. One of the first things I noticed upon moving to the area several years ago was that the small waterways on the bike trail where I walk my dog and ride my bike were choked with litter. Garbage, ranging from plastic bottles and bags to bigger debris like sports equipment, were all being slowly pushed downstream into Clam Bayou and out into Boca Ciega Bay. Litter in the water is unsightly and begins to break down into easily ingestible and harmful micro plastics in the Florida sun. Today, litter that makes its way into the waterways that lead to Boca Ciega Bay is stopped by the garbage traps known as “Litter Gitters” which are cleaned out very regularly. This leaves behind noticeably cleaner waters for both human and animal residents to enjoy. The devices were installed using funds from the Trash Free Waters Grant from the EPA which is a three-year grant. If the time ever comes where our community must pay for upkeep or routine cleaning, this resident will support it whole-heartedly. –Lou Mattar, St. Petersburg
Do or Don’t Say Gay
(Referencing Zack Mills’ comment on our March 24 cover story) What! Of course it says that; the bill contains the terms “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” each twice. Try reading the bill [and] also know that these were never subjects taught in K-3 to begin with; as a parent of school kids you should have known that. This poorly worded and vague bill is simply red meat for the base as a follow up of CRT [critical race theory] and will lead to bullying and attacks. BTW you didn’t mention the support for this bill is slim and support for parents to be able to sue the school board for violation is strongly opposed. –E.C. Burton, via Facebook
Don’t Say Gabber
In opening this week’s edition of The Gabber I noticed the letter in Voices, “Don’t Say ‘Don’t Say Gay’.” Later on I read the article titled “Three’s Company”. After reading this edition of The Gabber, I’ve come to the conclusion that The Gabber should not be accessible to children 5-9 years old. –David Shiner, St Petersburg

Brother of Stuart MacGill's partner is committed to stand trial over the bizarre 'kidnapping' of former cricket star
The brother of cricket legend Stuart Macgill's partner has been committed to stand trial over the retired leg spinner's alleged kidnapping near his Sydney home.
Marino Sotiropoulos, the sibling of MacGill's girlfriend Maria O'Meagher, was charged with a number of offences after the ex-Test star was allegedly bundled into a car in Cremorne on Sydney's lower North Shore on April 14 last year.
MacGill was then allegedly driven 60km to a two hectare property in Bringelly, in the city's south-west, as part of an alleged ransom plot.
Mr Sotiropoulos faced Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday, where prosecutors dropped a charge of participating in a criminal group, the Daily Telegraph reports.
His other charges - take/detain in company with intention to get an advantage, supplying a prohibited drug and stalk/intimidate intending to cause fear/physical harm - were upheld.
Mr Sotiropoulos was also committed to stand trial.
NSW Police will allege in court that Mr Sotiropoulos, 46, confronted MacGill near his home at Cremorne about 8pm on April 14.
Police will allege that during the street confrontation, two other men allegedly appeared and forced MacGill into a car.
He was then allegedly driven to the property where he was allegedly held for an hour, assaulted, threatened with a gun, and asked to hand over money.
MacGill was then allegedly drive to Belmore, in Sydney's southwest, where he was released.
In total, six men, including Mr Sotiropoulos, have been charged over the alleged snatching.
Police have said MacGill was not involved and was 'purely' a victim of crime.
MacGill and Ms O'Meagher formerly ran the popular Aristotle Greek restaurant together in Neutral Bay until it closed in June last year.
There is no suggestion of any involvement by Ms O'Meagher whatsoever.
Mr Sotiropoulos will appear in the District Court next month, when he is due to be arraigned and enter a plea.
MacGIll was allegedly stripped naked and beaten until he blacked out in a decrepit shack by captors who threatened to cut off his fingers if he didn't hand over $150,000 in what police say was a botched cocaine deal that MacGill had nothing to do with.
The leg-spinner told A Current Affair last year he had introduced a man called 'Sonny' to Sotiropoulos at Aristotle's in Neutral Bay, which he ran with Ms O'Meagher.
'We consider ourselves to be the innocent parties in this one. Part of hospitality is making sure the room works. We introduce people to other people all the time,' he told the program.
'We introduce people to other people as a matter of building, generating a bit of heat around the venue and that's pretty much all you need to know.'
When asked how he knew Sonny, MacGill said: 'He was somebody we met through the restaurant and that's all I'm pretty much prepared to say about that.'
Mr Sotiropoulos allegedly tried to supply Sonny with 2kg of cocaine, worth about $660,000, but there was an argument over the payment - which allegedly prompted Mr Sotiropoulos to demand $150,000 in payment from MacGill for introducing them.
'I initially met him when he came in making inquiries about buying a restaurant,' MacGill told police in a statement tendered in court.
'I've known Sonny for about three to four years, he's friends with some of my friends. He would even give me Christmas presents and buy Maria flowers.
'Sonny was also a drug dealer and had said on occasion, 'There'll never be any problems when I'm around'.'
MacGill said he never had anything to do with Sonny's drug dealing and could no longer find him.
The ex-Test star has separately faced his own charges of allegedly verbally abusing a Sydney bar owner in February this year.
MacGill and friend Stephen Kerlin, 54, were charged following an incident outside a Millers Point home in central Sydney last month.
MacGill was charged with intimidation and using offensive language in a public place when he handed himself into Day Street Police Station in central Sydney on February 19.
In March MacGill's lawyer appeared in court to ask for his bail conditions to be varied so that he could contact Kerlin because the former Test star was a person 'with a limited support network'.
'If you've been kidnapped as police allege he was, there is serious trauma, his best mate provided him with emotional support… that is who is getting him through this,' lawyer Joseph Correy told Sydney's Downing Centre court.

Arnaut Danjuma failed to score in Premier League with Bournemouth but now says he is one of the best wingers in the WORLD. Villarreal star grew up idolising Ronaldo, so after Man United scouts watched him sink Bayern, could he be their new star?
- Arnaut Danjuma has scored 14 goals in 30 appearances for Villarreal this term
- Manchester United scouts watched him score against Bayern Munich this week
- He has been compared to Kylian Mbappe and says he is among the best wingers
- Sportsmail looks at if he can be man to lead United's attack under Erik ten Hag
Arnaut Danjuma may not have had the most glittering career to date, but there is no doubt the Dutchman does not suffer from a lack of confidence regardless.
His current successful spell at LaLiga side Villarreal is the latest addition to his CV which also includes stints of varied success at Bournemouth, Club Brugge and NEC Nijmegen.
But there is self-belief from the 25-year-old that he can still reach the very top. 'If we look at what I've done this season it's quite fair and factual to say I'm among the best wingers in the world,' he told The Guardian earlier this week.
Manchester United scouts watched Arnaut Danjuma during his superb display against Bayern
His goal has given Villarreal a chance of reaching the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2006
How factual that truly is would take hours upon hours of statistical analysis but what can be said with confidence immediately is that Danjuma has risen from Bournemouth misfit to a star at Villarreal.
The Yellow Submarines are now in with a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Champions League thanks solely to his eighth-minute goal in the quarter-final first leg against German giants Bayern Munich.
It was his 14th goal in 29 games this season across all competitions, a far cry from the injury-hit player who failed to score for the Cherries in 15 Premier League appearances prior to their relegation in 2020.
He did score 17 goals last season in the Championship before moving to Spain for £21.3million last summer, and he has received no shortage of praise since, including a comparison to a highly-coveted forward in Europe.
His tally of 14 goals this term is a far cry from the player who struggled in the Premier League
'Danjuma is one of the best talents of his generation,' his agent Michael Jarman told Calciomercato last month. 'For me, he belongs to the category of [Kylian] Mbappe, but fate wanted us to know of him only now.
'For the future, everything is possible. In Italy, there are fantastic clubs and, obviously, Danjuma will want to win trophies in his career. But he is so happy at Villarreal and with [Unai] Emery that nothing else matters at the moment.'
Whether he could be tempted away soon remains to be seen, but nevertheless Manchester United scouts watched him in Europe in midweek, which was revealed by Sportsmail.
United are one of a number of European clubs tracking Danjuma's progress, though the 25-year-old winger signed a contract until 2026 last summer and is known to have a £64m buyout clause.
Asked by Sportsmail last year if a return to the English top flight is on the cards for the future, he said: 'I aim for the highest possible [accolades] in my career and play the highest platform of football.
Danjuma scored 17 goals in the Championship for Bournemouth before moving to Spain
'If that means the Champions League I want to prove myself, if that means the Premier League then that will be the Premier League. I came to Villarreal to prove myself again but I'm definitely visualising the next step.'
But with Erik ten Hag close to being appointed as United's next permanent manager, a move would see Danjuma have to acclimatise back to a league where he has struggled previously under a boss who has never managed in England, in a team that perhaps next season will not be ready to take that 'next step' he refers to.
Meanwhile, in Spain he plays under a manager who despite retaining his Premier League critics has already won the Europa League with Villarreal and has managed to develop the Dutchman's game.
'Unai Emery has played a big part in helping me since the beginning so I can't complain about anything,' he told MARCA in February.
He then told The Guardian this week about how the former Arsenal manager convinced him to join, stating: 'We've got Unai Emery as the captain leading the ship and he always comes up with a master plan.
His game has been likened to PSG star Kylian Mbappe (middle) due to his pace and position
'Unai was very clear when he explained how I could learn from him. I knew working under Unai would give me a boost because I could understand the game better.
'He is busy with me on a daily basis and I have a lot of conversations with him about how to better myself. He is a strategy mastermind.'
Such development has also seen Liverpool linked, and comparisons with Paris Saint-Germain star Mbappe due to his pace and ability to attack off the left flank.
Danjuma sees the similarities, telling El Pais last month: 'My physique is like Mbappe's, I don't have a ceiling.' And like the Frenchman, Danjuma does not want to be tied down to a single position, whether it be on the left or through the middle.
'I think I'm best when I'm playing a mixture of the two positions,' he told MARCA. 'The starting XI can be illusive at times, for me it just depends on how Unai wants me to play in a certain game.
'I can play as a winger, a striker or in-between. I think that is something that Unai really liked about my qualities and ability to play in more than one position. In training we work on a lot of movements, whether that be on the left or more as a striker.
Danjuma told Sportsmail earlier this year that his idol is Man United star Cristiano Ronaldo
'My preference is to play on the left and to have the freedom to come inside, I believe that is my best position. However, I know I can play as a striker in two up top, on the wing in a 4-3-3.
'For modern players it is good to have all the attributes and to play in different positions because the higher the quality of the game, the more tools you need to win the game, especially as a modern winger.'
No doubt that is just one of the many things Danjuma has learnt from his idol Cristiano Ronaldo - who he saw score in the flesh and in dramatic fashion when Villarreal played United in the group stages earlier this season.
'I am secretly a fan of Ronaldo!' he told Sportsmail in September. 'He is definitely a player I have always looked up to and I respect him in a lot of ways.
'Cristiano Ronaldo used to be, and still is, an inspiration for me in football, so that shows that I'm doing something good as well. The minute you meet your idols – or your rivals let me say - you're doing something good.'
Now he could be the man brought in to play under expected new United boss Erik ten Hag
All the signs are pointing to him excelling in the game. The jump from Championship to LaLiga has been rapid inside 12 months but he has made an almost seamless transition.
And just like his Portuguese idol, the Dutchman appears meticulous in his work, determined to improve and not simply be satisfied with playing for the Europa League holders.
Born to a Dutch father and a Nigerian mother before moving to Holland when he was four, Danjuma's career can be summarised as unpredictable, but now regular work with coaches on movement, shape and his position in formation are now driving him to what he hopes will be guaranteed success.
PSV Eindhoven's academy were convinced he was not first team material, but try telling Villarreal fans and potential suitors he is not now. It has been an unpredictable career for a player who attempts to demonstrate that same characteristic on the field.
Danjuma has gone on to represent Holland and believes unpredictability is his best asset
Asked about his best quality by El Pais, he said: 'That I am unpredictable. If you can dribble, pass, shoot one-twos and move into spaces, the opponents won't know what to focus on.
'The question is to sharpen your tools and [then] recognise what the game needs.'
He did just that against Bayern Munich, and it is arguable United currently do not possess enough players who respond appropriately to certain game situations.
Perhaps then he could culturally be a good fit at Old Trafford under his compatriot ten Hag, but he may need plenty of convincing he can achieve his domestic and European dreams at a club that has flattered to deceive again this season.

Stars of the West End heralded the return of live theatre after long periods of Covid closures as the Olivier Awards kicked off in London.
The revival of hit musical Cabaret leads the nominations with 11 nods for the production starring Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley, which transformed the West End’s Playhouse Theatre into the Kit Kat Club.
Life Of Pi at Wyndham’s Theatre and the classic musical revival of Anything Goes at the Barbican Theatre both have nine nominations each.
Beverley Knight, who is nominated for best actress in a musical for The Drifters Girl, said it was an “indescribable feeling” to return to the awards after such a difficult period for live theatre.
She told the PA news agency: “We have been bereft of theatre for so long, just had nothing, and people only realise the importance of the place that theatre and live entertainment played in any society when it was taken away.
“Then everyone was like ‘Oh, that’s what they do, that’s why it’s important’. So to be back to celebrate, it is incredible.”
She added: “We bring in multi-millions and that’s week in week out. So we are part of giving the economy buoyancy, but more than that, we feed the nation’s soul.
“How many people struggling with their mental health over the past two years turned to streaming services, whether it be music, or watching films, or documentaries or whatever?
“That’s what we do. That is our job, that’s where we step in. We are a night of escapism for so many people, whilst provoking people, getting them to think and entertaining them.”
West End star Ruthie Henshall added: “It is so wonderful to have all these amazing people in one room, to be able to look each other in the eyes and go ‘Wow, that was two years.’
“It’s incredible to think how many people had to do whatever they had to do to look after their families, because theatre was really left behind.
“There was no help for the theatre and theatre people and so the fact that we are back, we are here, we are celebrating, it is a beautiful thing for me, because I’ve watched people that one minute are on stage playing lead and the next they are driving vans and picking through.”
Anything Goes star Felicity Kendal said the last two years have been particularly difficult for young people starting out in the theatre.
She said: “We got no subsidy and the people, especially the young people who were starting out in the business, lost two years of their life, of their career life, and sometimes had to give up because there was nothing to do.
“A lot of really not-very-well-off actors, early on, they take on other jobs in restaurants but nothing was open.
“So they didn’t even have that and they didn’t have the security of jobs coming up. So it was really tough for us. But we are in showbiz and we just get on with it.”
Choreographer and former Strictly Come Dancing judge Dame Arlene Phillips said seeing theatres closed was “some of the hardest times I’ve been through emotionally”, adding: “It felt like everything was lost.”
She continued: “Performers were suffering, technicians, everybody working in the theatre industry was really suffering, not knowing what steps to take, what their futures would be, it was really hard.
“Also we lived in fear. I sanitised everything, day and night, nothing came into my house, I was afraid to pass people.
“After two years, I took a deep breath and thought I got through it. Until three weeks ago, I got Covid and it slammed me like I cannot even tell you and all I did was watch those two red lines in a state of panic, sheer panic, to go down to one. Now I’m fine and I’m so excited.”
The Olivier Awards are taking place at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Emily Atack has said she is subjected to “relentless and disgusting” rape threats online that have led her to call the police and “question her entire existence at times”.
The Inbetweeners star, 32, who has 1.8 million followers on Instagram, said she is bombarded by around 200 harassing messages on social media a day, including those that threaten her safety.
Atack said she has had to move home four times in the wake of targeted abuse, telling The Sun On Sunday: “They knew where I lived, said what they were going to do to me, even my family.
“I got the police involved.”
She added there is one man who creates new accounts every time she blocks him, telling the paper: “He’s relentless and disgusting — beyond anything you can imagine. Yet he says he’s a married man with children.”
She added: “He sends rape threats, says what he wants to do to me while his wife is in the room, and sends messages saying his children are downstairs in their playroom while he’s pleasuring himself over me.
“These men are exposing themselves to me, doing this, in a more private way, in my direct messages, where I can’t avoid it. It feels shameful.
“It has made me question my entire existence at times, and how men see me.”
Atack says she is now calling on social media companies to clamp down on explicit comments online.
“It is assault and abuse.
“I should have the right to be able to go in there (to her DMs) safely,” she said.
“More needs to be done to protect women.”

It took San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani well into his major league tenure to enjoy a career season.
Trevor Rogers, meanwhile, hopes his stellar rookie season for the Miami Marlins is a sign of good things to come.
Both DeSclafani and Rogers will look to build on their respective success from 2021, when they square off in Sunday’s decisive series finale at San Francisco.
San Francisco earned a wild 6-5, 10-inning victory in Friday’s season opener. Miami responded with a 2-1 win Saturday when the clubs combined for just 10 hits, with each striking out 14 times. Starters Pablo Lopez for Miami and Carlos Rodon, in his Giants’ debut, were both solid, and another pitcher’s duel could be in store for Sunday.
DeSclafani, 31, had just one winning season (2016) in his first six major league campaigns before winding up in San Francisco following one season in Miami and five with the Cincinnati Reds. That proved to be a good move for the veteran right-hander, who went a personal-best 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA while matching a career high with 31 starts.
He was one of four Giants’ pitchers to win at least 10 games last season, which is a reason DeSclafani’s success might have been lost in the mix with the rest of that talented rotation.
“I think it took all of us until after the season to kind of appreciate how good he was over a sustained period of time, and how dependable a major league starter he was for us,” manager Gabe Kapler told the Giants’ official website.
“It wasn’t that we weren’t appreciating it in the moment. Maybe the success that he had flew under the radar. … But, I think there’s a full appreciation for what he did for us now.”
DeSclafani, who broke into the majors with the Marlins in 2014, is 2-2 with a 2.73 ERA in five career starts against them. He allowed a solo homer to Jazz Chisholm Jr. in six innings while not factoring in the decision of a 4-1 loss at Miami last season.
Meanwhile, in his first full major league season, Rogers posted a 7-8 record, but with a sparkling 2.64 ERA and 157 strikeouts in 25 starts to finish second in the 2021 NL Rookie of the Year race. The left-hander isn’t trying to make too much of his season debut, though there naturally are some pretty high expectations following the success he had a year ago, which included an All-Star selection.
“Just go with my game plan. Attack with my strengths and we’ll see what happens from there,” Rogers told Bally Sports Florida. “Ready to get going.”
This will be the first time Rogers faces the Giants, who lost for just the third time in the past 11 home meetings with the Marlins on Saturday. San Francisco’s Thairo Estrada is off to a solid start by going 2-for-6 with a homer through two games.
Miami’s Jacob Stallings and Jesus Aguilar are a combined 3-for-17 on the young season, but, together, have gone 11-for-23 with a homer apiece versus DeSclafani.

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The collapse of 150-year-old Sukhtawa bridge located in Kesla block in Narmadapuram district on Sunday caused traffic jam as vehicles were stranded for the entire day, which caused inconvenience to passengers and transporters.
The routes were diverted via Harda to Betul. Vehicles coming from Bhopal on their way to Nagpur headed to Betul district via Dolaria, Timarni in Harda district, Dhekna village in Narmadapuram district to Chicholi via Bhopal Tirahe, said the superintendent of police Gurukaran Singh.
With the alternate road, the distance between Bhopal to Betul increased by 96 kilometres, he added. Signboards were installed by National Highway, MPRDC and Public Works Department on the routes for convenience of passengers.
Despite administration diverting traffic, the flow remained stagnant and the vehicles had to wait for hours to leave for their destination.
Despite the administration diverting traffic to alternate routes, the flow remained stagnant and the bigger vehicles were still in line waiting for their turn to leave for their destination till filing of the report.
Though the local police had made arrangements for smaller vehicles to cross, the bigger loading vehicles had to wait for hours before they surveyed the load capacity of alternative route.
Truck driver Hanuman Pal said, I had to reach Bhopal from Nagpur to deliver oranges by evening. I was on my way when I came to know about the bridge collapse. I contacted my manager who was aware about the accident.
But since the administration was still surveying the load capacity of the alternative route, I am still not able to leave for my destination, he added. Another truck driver Shadab Khan, who was ferrying a stock of electronics from Bhopal to Nagpur, said, I had to wait for three hours before we were allowed to move. Even after that, it took us another three hours to clear past the area since there was a huge flow of big vehicles and the alternative route could not bear all of us at one go.
Superintendent of police Gurukaran Singh said, The traffic was diverted via Harda to Betul following the accident. We had barricaded the route early at around 4 pm and informed people passing through that route. We had surveyed the alternative routes for their load capacity as there was a huge flow of loading vehicles.
Temporary pathway to be built within a week
Collector Narmadapuram Neeraj Kumar Singh has said that a temporary pathway will be prepared over the river within a week to ensure free flow of traffic until proper arrangements are made. Since the river has dried up to some extent, the vehicles are even opting the river bed as an alternative route to cross.

10 civilians killed in strikes in eastern Ukraine - governor
Weekend bombardments in eastern Ukraine killed 10 civilians and wounded 11 others around Kharkiv, the region's governor said.
Saturday's bombardments hit four towns around and to the southeast of Kharkiv, Oleg Synegubov posted on Telegram, adding that one of those killed was a child.
"In the course of the day, the occupiers bombarded the civil infrastructure at Balakliya, Pesochin, Zolochiv and Dergachi," he added.
"At the current time we know of 10 people killed, including a child, and 11 wounded."
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, had a population of around 1.5 million before the offensive.
EU to discuss new Russia sanctions
EU foreign ministers are to discuss Monday a sixth round of sanctions on Moscow.
Although the sanctions that would hurt Russia the most -- an EU boycott of its oil and gas exports -- are not on the table formally, European Union diplomats do acknowledge there are discussions about them.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly called for such EU embargoes, but the bloc remains divided over a ban on Russian gas and oil imports.
Death toll from Kramatorsk missile strike rises to 57
The death toll from a missile strike on the train station in Ukraine's Kramatorsk has risen to 57 people, Donetsk region governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
Kyrylenko said 109 people were wounded in the attack, which Ukraine has blamed on Russia. Moscow has denied responsibility, saying the missile was Ukrainian.
Austrian leader to meet Putin in Moscow
Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday, he said, adding he hoped to help build bridges between Russia and Ukraine and stop the "war of aggression".
Nehammer's meeting would be the first face-to-face encounter between Putin and a European Union leader since Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, triggering a broad Western effort to isolate Moscow.
"I'm going to meet Vladimir #Putin in Moscow tomorro w," Nehammer wrote on Twitter.

Over 1,200 bodies found in Kiev region so far - prosecutor
Ukraine's prosecutor general Iryna Venediktova said 1,222 bodies have been found in the region around the capital Kiev so far.
"We have actually now, only for this morning, 1,222 dead people only in Kiev region," Venediktova said in an interview with Britain's Sky News.
UN: More than 4.5M Ukrainians flee conflict
More than 4.5 million Ukrainian refugees have fled their country since the Russian offensive on February 24, according to the United Nations refugee agency.
The UNHCR said there were 4,503,954 Ukrainian refugees on Sunday. That was 62,291 more than the previous day.
Europe has not seen such a flood of refugees since World War II.
Ninety percent of those who have fled Ukraine are women and children, as the Ukrainian authorities do not allow men of military age to leave.
Ukraine braces for 'important battles'
Ukraine is preparing for "important battles" against Moscow's forces in the east of the country, officials in Kiev said.
Evacuations continued from Kramatorsk, in eastern Ukraine, where a missile strike on Friday killed 52 people at a railway station, while an airport in the central city of Dnipro was completely destroyed in fresh shelling Sunday.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy again condemned atrocities against civilians, and after speaking with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said they agreed "that all perpetrators of war crimes must be identified and punished".
Pope urges Easter ceasefire
Pope Francis has called for an Easter ceasefire in Ukraine to pave the way for peace through "real negotiation".
"Let the Easter truce begin. But not to provide more weapons and pick up the combat again -- no! -- a truce that will lead to peace, through real negotiation," he told a public mass at Saint Peter's Square.
The pontiff denounced a conflict where "defenceless civilians" suffered "heinous massacres and atrocious cruelty".
But Russia's Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, a key Putin ally, issued his own appeal against Russia's "enemies".
Ukraine says Russians stole lethal substances from Chernobyl
Russian forces who occupied the Chernobyl nuclear plant stole radioactive substances from research laboratories that could potentially kill them, Ukraine's State Agency for Managing the Exclusion Zone said.
Moscow's forces seized the defunct power plant on the first day of their offensive on Ukraine on February 24. They occupied the highly radioactive zone for over a month, before retreating on March 31.
The agency said on Facebook that Russian soldiers pillaged two laboratories in the area.
It said the Russians entered a storage area of the Ecocentre research base and stole 133 highly radioactive substances.
US official: Russia appoints new commander for Ukraine attack
Russia has turned to Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, 60, one of Russia’s most experienced military officers and — according to US officials — a general with a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other war theatres.
The senior official who identified the new commander was not authorized to be identified and spoke on condition of anonymity.
But the White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said “no appointment of any general can erase the fact that Russia has already faced a strategic failure in Ukraine.”
Pro-Russian protesters in Germany outnumbered by Ukraine supporters
Around 600 pro-Russian protesters in a 350-car motorcade set off on a demonstration in Hanover in the north of Germany on Sunday, where there was also a counter-demonstration of around 700 people supporting Ukraine in the city centre, local police said.
The motorcade, flying Russian and also a few German flags, is protesting against discrimination in Germany towards Russians following the Ukraine attack.
Police said fences had been put up to separate the pro-Russian protesters from the counter-demonstration and they added that the protests had been peaceful so far.
Ukraine reports 5,600 'war crime' cases as shelling continues
Ukraine's prosecutor general has said her team documented 5,600 cases of "war crimes" perpetrated by the Russian government and its leading figures.
Speaking to British broadcaster Sky, Iryna Venediktova said the main case names over 500 people, including "top" Russian military personnel, politicians and "propaganda agents".
She added Vladimir Putin was a "main war criminal of the 21st century", but in accordance with international law, as long as the Russian president is in power he enjoys diplomatic immunity and cannot be persecuted unless the initiative is taken by the International Criminal Court.
Shelling in Ukraine's Luhansk, Dnipro regions wounds one
Russian forces have fired shells into Ukraine's Luhansk and Dnipro regions hitting several buildings, wounding one person and causing a fire, officials said.
A school and a high-rise apartment building were shelled in the city of Sievierodonetsk in separatist-controlled Luhansk, the region's governor said.
In the central city of Dnipro, one person was wounded when a building was hit. The shelling sparked a fire that was eventually put out, regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko said in a post.
Ukraine agrees nine humanitarian corridors from the east
Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk has said that Kiev agreed on the use of nine humanitarian corridors to help people escape heavy fighting in the east of the country, including in private cars from Mariupol.
"All the routes for the humanitarian corridors in the Luhansk region will work as long as there is a ceasefire by the occupying Russian troops," Vereshchuk said in a statement on her Telegram channel.
More than 170 'children died' due to Russia's attacks on Ukraine
Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, 177 children have died and 336 have been injured, according to the Ukrainian Office of the Prosecutor General.
Children in the Donetsk, Kiev, and Kharkiv regions have been the most affected in the country, the office said in a statement. As a result of daily bombings and shelling, 938 educational institutions were damaged, with 87 of them completely destroyed.
More than 4.49 million Ukrainians have also fled to other countries, with millions more internally displaced, according to the UN refugee agency.

Ukraine: Russian troops running low on medicine
A spokesperson for the Ukrainian army has said Russian troops were running out of medicine and medical personnel, while they struggled to deal with an influx of injured soldiers.
Oleksandr Shputun, the spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said Russia had established field hospitals in parts of the Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
He also said Russian forces were continuing to attack major Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv, Izyum and Mariupol.
Russian forces 'destroy' Ukrainian military convoy
Russian attack helicopters have destroyed a convoy of Ukraine's armoured vehicles and anti-aircraft warfare, the news agency Interfax has reported, citing Russia's defence ministry.
"Attack helicopters KA-52 ... destroyed weapons and military equipment of the armed forces of Ukraine," the agency cited the ministry as saying in a statement.
Ukrainian military officials were not immediately available for comment. The report was not immediately verified.
Russia confirms prisoner exchange with Ukraine
Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatiana Moskalkova has confirmed that Russia and Ukraine carried out a prisoner exchange on Saturday.
Moskalkova said that among those exchanged to Russia, there were four employees of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom and soldiers.
"Early this morning they landed on the Russian soil," Moskalkova said in an online post.
UK PM Johnson praises 'spirit' of Ukraine rail workers
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has praised the resilience of Ukrainian rail workers in the conflict with Russia when he took the train from Poland to Kiev to meet President Volodmyr Zelenskyy.
"I gather you are called the 'iron people'," the British leader said in a video address that was posted on Facebook on Sunday by Ukrainian railways spokesman Oleksandr Shevchenko.
Ukrainian trains have played a key role in evacuating civilians from conflict zones, while being targeted by shooting and shelling.
Ukraine: At least 19,300 Russian troops killed
At least 19,300 Russian soldiers have so far been killed in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military has said.
Ukrainian forces have destroyed 152 Russian aircraft, 137 helicopters, 112 unmanned aerial vehicles, 722 tanks, 1,911 armoured vehicles and 342 artillery systems, according to the Ukrainian General Staff’s latest update.
The Russians have also lost 108 multiple rocket launcher systems, 1,384 vehicles, 76 fuel tanks, 55 anti-aircraft systems and seven boats, the military said.
In the bitter-cold early days of Russia's assault on Ukraine, Russian troops struggled to find shelter and warmth.

Thousands flee east Ukraine as Kiev readies for ‘big battles’
Ukraine has been preparing for "big battles" against Moscow's forces in the east of the country, as thousands of civilians flee in fear of imminent Russian attacks.
"Ukraine is ready for big battles. Ukraine must win them, including in the Donbass. And once that happens, Ukraine will have a more powerful negotiating position," Zelenskyy's adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak said on national television, as quoted by the Interfax news agency.
Evacuations resumed on Saturday from Kramatorsk, in eastern Ukraine, where a missile strike killed 52 people at a railway station a day earlier, as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson became the latest Western leader to visit Kiev.
Shelling hits school apartment building in Ukraine's Sievierodonetsk
A school and a high-rise apartment building have been shelled early on Sunday in the city of Sievierodonetsk in the besieged Ukrainian region of Luhansk.
"Fortunately, no casualties," the governor, Serhiy Gaidai, wrote on Telegram.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
Protest in Chile against Russia's attacks
Dozens of protesters have gathered in front of the Russian embassy in Chile’s capital of Santiago to denounce Russia's attacks on Ukraine.

Some protesters lay down on the ground and clutched stuffed animals to honor child victims of the attacks. A large banner read, “Stand with Ukraine.”
Russia: Over 704,000 people evacuated from ‘dangerous areas’ in Ukraine

Zelenskyy: Ukraine does not have time to wait
Ukraine's president reiterated his call for full embargo on Russian oil and gas, saying “Ukraine does not have time to wait.”
In his address amid the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed the need for the introduction of “more painful restrictions” on Russian cash flows.
“Ukraine does not have time to wait. Freedom does not have time to wait. When tyranny launches aggression against everything that keeps peace in Europe, action must be taken immediately. It is necessary to act in a principled fashion,” he said. “And the oil embargo should be the first step. At the level of all democracies, the whole civilised world. Then Russia will feel it. Then it will be an argument for them - to seek peace, to stop pointless violence.”
Ukraine bans all imports from Russia
Ukraine has banned all imports from Russia, one of its key trading partners before the conflict with annual imports valued at about $6 billion, and called on other countries to follow and impose harsher economic sanctions on Moscow.
"Today we officially announced a complete termination of trade in goods with the aggressor state," Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko wrote on her Facebook page.
"From now on, no Russian Federation's products will be able to be imported into the territory of our state."
Civilians lined up for food after Russia's retreat
Civilians remaining in Bucha lined up for food donated by the local church in the battered Kiev suburb where Ukrainian forces and journalists reported evidence of "war crimes" after Russian soldiers withdrew.
Volunteer Petro Denysyuk told that he and fellow church friends started providing food, with a wide array of basic foodstuffs and hot meals.
“We have gathered together with the youth from our church and prepared food for the needy,” Denysyuk said. “We prepared pilaf, boiled eggs, prepared meat, sausages, noodles.”
Ukrainian soccer club Shakhtar starts 'peace-themed' tour
Wearing the names of heavily bombarded cities on its jerseys, Ukrainian soccer club Shakhtar Donetsk opened a series of charity games on a government-backed “Global Tour for Peace” with a 1-0 loss at Greek league leader Olympiakos on Saturday.
The tour aims to raise money for Ukraine's military in the fight against Russia, and also help Ukrainian refugees displaced by the conflict.

A group of bat viruses related to SARS-CoV-2 can also infect human cells but uses a different and unknown entryway. While researchers are still honing in on how these viruses infect cells, the findings could help in the development of new vaccines that prevent coronaviruses from causing another pandemic.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) pacer Trent Boult was bang on money right from the first ball as he sent back Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) opener, KL Rahul, for his second golden duck of the IPL 2022 season.
RR batted first and set a target of 166 for the LSG team. At the halfway mark, it looked impossible but Shimron Hetmyer and Ravichandran Ashwin built an excellent partnership for the 5th wicket before the latter tactically retired hurt.
LSG needed a good start to chase the total down but they were jolted on the very first ball of the innings. Boult, known for his swinging prowess with the new ball, brought one back into Rahul who failed to account for the movement.
Watch Trent Boult dismiss Rahul here:

Luis Severino isn’t the same person who last made a start here at Yankee Stadium. Since September 2019, Severino has been through major surgery, a bunch of nagging injuries and a journey to become a better, more sustainable pitcher.
“And I have two more kids now too,” Severino said with a laugh Friday morning.
He’s a more mature pitcher, who understands his body and arsenal and how to use it.
After pitching just 27.2 innings over the last three seasons, Severino made his first start at Yankee Stadium — since Sept. 22, 2019 — Saturday afternoon. It was a big moment for him personally, being back on the big stage after a long journey through injuries. It was also a big moment for the Yankees, who chose not to spend on free agent pitching this winter with the idea he’d be the big addition.
Saturday was a big relief for the Yankees when Severino gave them three solid innings and the big bats of Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo carried them to a 4-2 win over the Red Sox at the Stadium.
They won their first two games of the lockout-delayed 2022 season, just the second time they’ve done that since 2011 and the first since 2018.
That was back when Severino was the ace of this staff.
In 2018, he finished in the top-10 in Cy Young voting. The next spring, he signed a four-year, $40 million extension — which runs through this year, with a club option for $15 million with a $2.75 million buyout after this season.
Considering the brilliance he flashed in the first part of the 2018 season, that was a very team-friendly deal. But just weeks after he signed that deal, Severino was shut down with a shoulder issue which turned out to be a lat tear that kept him out of the big leagues for five months. He pitched in the postseason of 2019, felt tightness in his forearm and needed Tommy John surgery in March 2020. He missed the entire COVID-abbreviated 2020 season and his return in 2021 was delayed by a groin injury and then shoulder tightness.
He’s dropped down to the Yankees No. 2 with the addition of Gerrit Cole, but Severino is showing he is still a very effective pitcher.
He allowed a two-run home run to Alex Verdugo over his three innings Saturday. The Red Sox got five hits off him, but he did not walk a batter and struck out five. Rizzo’s two-run shot, his second home run in as many games this season, took Severino off the hook. Staton’s homer, his second in as many games and his sixth straight against the Red Sox, got the Yankees their 4-2 win.
For a first step back, after a lockout-shortened spring training and for his first big league start in over 900 days, it was a positive one. His velocity was solid all day, topping out at 100, and he threw 65 pitches, both indicators of a healthy arm. He got five swings and misses, showing his stuff is playing.
“Not even the velocity you know. I think the adrenaline got me to (100). I wasn’t trying to throw 100,” Severino said after the game. “Like I said in my last spring training I was just trying to make pitches and I think I made good pitches. High velo, I think that’s part of my game, but now I am making really good pitches.”
For Aaron Boone, who knows pitching will be at a premium this season and who saw Cole get hit pretty hard the day before, it’s a relief.
“I felt like he settled in pretty quick in this game,” the Yankee manager said. “Just the one mistake in the second inning with Verdugo, but you always want a guy, especially if he hasn’t started in a long time, to get settled. And I thought he did that in pretty short order there in the first.”
Severino returned to the mound Saturday a different pitcher and maybe a better one. He’s certainly wiser for the journey he’s been on.
“My last start here, when I was healthy here I used to get here and spend five minutes in the gym and go out after. Right now I have to spend an hour getting ready,” Severino said. “But since my last start here I have got a lot of different pitches. I throw a little cutter now. That was working. I got two different breaking balls, like a short one and then a big one. And my changeup has been moving different than before. I got a little sink movement on it. So I’m thinking if I can bring all those pieces together in one day I think I can be successful.”

Stepping out. Jada Pinkett Smith was photographed on the red carpet for the first time since her husband, Will Smith, slapped Chris Rock at the 94th annual Academy Awards.
“Big shout out to @shondarhimes for helping the dreams of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy to become a reality,” the Red Table Talk cohost, 50, captioned a Sunday, April 10, Instagram snap alongside Shonda Rhimes and Debbie Allen.
The trio were on hand to celebrate the grand opening of the Rhimes Performing Arts Center. The Los Angeles-based arts venue, named for the 52-year-old Grey’s Anatomy creator, will host Allen’s eponymous Debbie Allen Dance Academy. The 25,000-square-foot facility offers two stories of classrooms, studios and a theater per a Gensler description. (Rhimes and Allen both executive produce Grey’s Anatomy and Rhimes’ Shondaland conceived Allen’s Dance Dreams: Hot Chocolate Nutcracker documentary for Netflix.)
Pinkett Smith, who has been close friends with the 72-year-old Fame actress through the years, donned a gold, strapless gown for the red carpet.
“@therealdebbieallen said wrap it all in gold and come let the kids fill your soul,” the Maryland native gushed via Instagram on Saturday, April 9, before walking the red carpet. “Congrats Debbie on the opening of your Debbie Allen Dance Academy @officialdadance! You are the legacy that so many other legacies will stand upon. Thank you for ALL that you do.”
Pinkett Smith’s Saturday appearance marked the first time she was photographed since the Oscars last month. At the time, the 57-year-old Saturday Night Live alum joked that Pinkett Smith — whom he costarred with in the Madagascar movies — could star in a potential G.I. Jane sequel due to her shaved head. Pinkett Smith, who struggles with alopecia, rolled her eyes during the broadcast before her husband — whom she wed in 1997 — smacked Rock across the face.
The King Richard star, 53, has since issued a public apology and resigned from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Earlier this week, the Academy announced that they have banned Smith from future Oscars events for 10 years.
Since the incident, Smith’s family — including Pinkett Smith — have stuck by him.
“They stick together through thick and thin,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month of the “unbreakable” couple. “They have been through a lot together and this is just another battle for them.”
A second insider told Us that the Hey Humans cofounder was not angry with her spouse, though wished he had not slapped Rock. The insider noted: “It was in the heat of the moment and it was him overreacting. He knows that, she knows that. They’re in agreement that he overreacted.”

The year is 2008 and ‘Mamma Mia!’, starring big names such as Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan alongside fresh faces such as Amanda Seyfrield, hit theaters. While the film didn’t receive good reviews, 14 years later is considered a chick flick campy classic and audiences have loved it ever since.
‘Mamma Mia!’ became the fifth highest grossing film of that year, with $609,841,637, which made Universal consider making a sequel and it came out in 2018. The second film was also a success in the box office, grossing over $400 million worldwide, and received better reviews.
Co-creator Judy Craymer said in June 2020 that she was ready to start developing a third film until the start of the pandemic. “I think that someday there will be another (Mamma Mia!) movie because it is supposed to be a trilogy,” she revealed. Now, actor Dominic Cooper is talking about the possibility.
Dominic Cooper says he would be down for Mamma Mia 3 but there no plans yet
Cooper, 43, is currently promoting his latest project, the drama series ‘That Dirty Black Bag’, and in an interview with Collider he talked about where things stand for a third Mamma Mia movie. And it seems like the possibility is there but there’s nothing concrete.
When asked if he ever wondered if Mamma Mia 3 was still happening, he said he feels he’s “always doing that” and he explained he wrote a producer about it. “I was relieved to hear they’d (ABBA) written a new album,” he said, “I did send out a text to the producer, immediately when that album got good reviews and I’d heard a couple of the songs I’d heard.”
“But who knows? I don’t know. The last one took 10 years to come around. In 10 years’ time, I don’t know what I’m gonna look like, so I don’t know whether anyone would do that in 10 years’ time, if I’m still around,”he added. So, it doesn’t seem like the third movie of Mamma Mia is happening soon.

WATCH: Man pulled from raging river after attempted rescue of dog caught in current
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KCAL/KCBS) – A good Samaritan is recounting his attempt to rescue a stranger’s dog from a river in California.
Dustin Leming, an iron worker, dropped 14 feet into the Los Angeles River to rescue a dog trapped in the raging current during a rain storm.
He risked his own life to save a stranger’s dog.
“Oh, that dog was scared,” he said.
The heroic effort left Leming in need of his own rescue.
“They did have to rescue me, and thank God they did,” he said.
As rescue helicopters circled above his home last week, Leming and his mom ran to the river out back and saw Scooby struggling to keep his furry head above the water.
When Leming saw the canine, he couldn’t help himself. He said he wanted to be a veterinarian so it was second nature to help an animal in need.
“I told her, I said ‘Look mom, that dog’s in the river. I’m going to the river. I’m gonna save that dog,’” he said. “And she goes, ‘You better not Dustin’ and I told her, ‘Look, I’m going in.”
But first, Leming had to run ahead of the dog.
“I think it was about a mile and a half down where I finally caught up to him,” Leming said.
When he finally got into the waist high water and got his arms around Scooby, the terrified German Shepherd sunk its teeth into his arms.
“That current, that current is stronger than you think,” Leming said.
He said it became too hard to hold on to the dog, and Scooby wiggled out of his arms and was eventually carried away by the current.
“I was like ‘Oh man, if that dog dies, I’m gonna be so sad,’” Leming said.
It was fortunately not a lost cause, and Scooby survived. The dog floated down the river to a shallow spot where rescue crews eventually got him to safety.
The next day, Scooby’s owner got to thank Leming for his attempted rescue.
“Thank you so much for all the love out there and support,” she said.
Leming said he’s just glad Scooby made it back home. He said there was no way the dog was going to drown on his watch.
“Everybody got their phones out and wanted to take videos but not take action,” Leming said. “I tried to help him out.”

PHOENIX (AP) — The San Diego Padres scratched starting pitcher Blake Snell from the lineup just before game time on Sunday.
The 2018 AL Cy Young winner went through his usual warm up before the game but right-hander Nabil Crismatt came out to the mound for the first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Padres said Snell didn't start because of “left adductor tightness.”
It's the first bad news for a Padres rotation that's been brilliant through the first three games. Yu Darvish and Sean Manaea threw 13 innings of no-hit baseball on back-to-back days and Joe Musgrove was solid on Saturday, giving up two runs over six innings.

As Sunday draws to a close in Kyiv and in Moscow, here are the key developments of the day:
A new Russian general has been tapped to take over the faltering invasion of Ukraine, a U.S. official has told NPR. Alexander Dvornikov, 60, was previously in charge of the southern section of the war. It comes as Russia is expected to open a new offensive in the country's east after pulling forces out of the Kyiv region.
A large military convoy that stretched at least eight miles was seen traveling through northeastern Ukraine. The imagery collected by the company Maxar Technologies on Friday shows hundreds of military vehicles. A researcher with the Institute for the Study of War says the convoy consists of Russian forces.
Ukraine's top prosecutor says she's uncovered 5,600 cases of alleged war crimes and has a list of 500 suspects. In an interview with Sky News, Iryna Venediktova said authorities had ample evidence to back up their claims. "Almost every region in Ukraine was bombed," she said. "We have a lot of concrete facts in every region, in every city."
NATO is planning to shore up the military might along its eastern flank to guard against any future Russian aggression. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced the move in an interview with the Telegraph. The current small "tripwire" military presence will be replaced with a force strong enough to repel a Russian invasion.
The U.K. says Russia, prompted by "mounting losses," is looking to add to the ranks of its military with people discharged from military service since 2012. The British Ministry of Defence also claims Moscow is attempting to recruit fighters from the "unrecognised Transnistria region of Moldova."
In-depth
This is what the devastated Ukrainian town of Borodyanka looks like after Russian troops withdrew.
From Nuremberg to Darfur, history has seen some war criminals brought to trial.
Some Ukrainian families with ties to the U.S. are still struggling to reach the country as they flee the violence at home.

President Biden, Indian Prime Minister scheduled to speak as US presses for hard line on Russia
Video above: Biden calls for war crimes trial against Putin
President Joe Biden is set to speak with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday as he presses world leaders to take a hard line against Russia's Ukraine invasion.
India's neutral stance in the war has raised concerns in Washington and earned praise from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who lauded India this month for judging “the situation in its entirety, not just in a one-sided way.”
Most recently, India abstained when the U.N. General Assembly voted Thursday to suspend Russia from its seat on the 47-member Human Rights Council over allegations that Russian soldiers in Ukraine engaged in rights violations that the U.S. and Ukraine have called war crimes.
The vote was 93-24 with 58 abstentions.
In the virtual meeting, Biden will talk about the consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine “and mitigating its destabilizing impact on global food supply and commodity markets,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement Sunday.
They'll discuss “strengthening the global economy, and upholding a free, open, rules-based international order to bolster security, democracy, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific," she said.
India continues to purchase Russian energy supplies, despite pressure from Western countries to avoid buying Russian oil and gas. The U.S. has also considered sanctions on India for its recent purchase of advanced Russian air defense systems.
Last month, the state-run Indian Oil Corp. bought 3 million barrels of crude from Russia to secure its needs, resisting entreaties from the West to avoid such purchases. India isn’t alone in buying Russian energy, however. Several European allies such as Germany have continued to do so, despite public pressure to end these contracts.
Indian media reports said Russia was offering a discount on oil purchases of 20% below global benchmark prices.
Iraq is India’s top supplier, with a 27% share. Saudi Arabia is second at around 17%, followed by the United Arab Emirates with 13% and the U.S. at 9%, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Biden and Modi last spoke in March.

BRISBANE • After retiring from professional tennis last month, former world No. 1 Ashleigh Barty is set to open a new chapter in her life with the release of a series of children's books later this year.
The Australian, who decided to call time on her tennis career at the age of 25, told News Corp yesterday that she will release a six-book series titled Little Ash, with many stories based on her real-life experiences and her family.
The book will be published by HarperCollins and is scheduled to hit shelves in July.
"This project has been so much fun and something I have always wanted to do. Lucy was my North Star," the three-time Grand Slam winner said, referring to her five-year-old niece.
"She is the perfect age to understand stories and storylines and read chapter books.
"I just love the fact she tells me what she thinks and what she feels and how she feels when she is reading a book.
"Being able to read it to her will be great and to go up to readings to kids in rural areas is something I want to be really hands-on with."
A second book project, a memoir of her life and sporting journey, will be released by the same publisher in November.
"At 25, it's not super regular that something like this happens but it is a very exciting project," she said.
"Looking back and talking about it has brought me so much joy and heartache and pain, but I think it will be a very good read."
Barty, who won the Australian Open in January, added she had no regrets about her shock decision to retire at the peak of her career with US$23.8 million (S$32.4 million) in earnings.
"I am just so happy - I didn't need any reassurance but I have still felt that reassurance that I made the right decision," she said.
"I have spent so much time with my beautiful family and my nieces and nephew and you could not wipe the smile off my face the last few weeks. It's been awesome."

Tiger’s Masters: No fairytale ending but still inspiring
By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP Sports Writer
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods has closed out the worst Masters performance of his professional career. His second straight 78 left him at 13-over for the tournament. Still, Woods considers this one of his greatest achievements in golf. He played in his first real tournament since a car wreck 14 months ago left him with horrific leg injuries. Woods started out with an electrifying 71, but he had nothing left in the tank for the weekend. Woods is looking forward to getting back in the gym and building strength in his shattered right leg. He didn’t say where he’s planning to play next.

Aljamain Sterling Becomes Undisputed Champion at UFC 273
Last night at UFC 273, Aljamain Sterling crowned himself the undisputed UFC bantamweight champion. And he did it his way, capitalizing on a superior grappling arsenal to overcome fierce rival Petr Yan.
“This time, I did it the way I always wanted,” said Sterling. “I’ve felt like a champion for a long time, but this put a stamp on it.”
Returning after a 13-month absence from the sport, Sterling (21-3) defeated Yan by split decision in their bantamweight unification title fight. Conquering an opponent as talented as Yan (16-3) was particularly meaningful, especially considering that it was Yan who knocked Sterling out in their last fight with an intentional illegal knee to the head.
A whole host of significant problems ensued for the 32-year-old Sterling, who was forced to contemplate retirement after surgery to repair nerve damage in his neck that had accumulated over the course of his career.
“At the end of the day, I’m just really happy,” Sterling said, shedding tears of joy as he spoke. “There were times when it was very disheartening. I felt like s---. There wasn’t any improvement or recovery. But I trusted my doctors and put the brakes on my training. I did the physical therapy. Thankfully, the nerves started to reconnect, and I finally started to have some gains.”
After Sterling won the bantamweight title by disqualification in March 2021, unfinished business remained with Yan. Their issues hit a climax in the 273 co-main event, where Sterling wore down Yan over the course of the fight with relentless wrestling. Even when Yan was able to land shots, Sterling stayed disciplined and never deviated from his plan of attack.
“I knew I needed to make this a grappling fight and keep him guessing,” Sterling said. “If I stopped shooting, it would have been an open season for him to turn this into a striking match and stand up and trade. I could have done that, but I didn’t want to let him fight where he was strongest. I wanted to keep him guessing. That was the key to victory.”
This fight will forever be defined by Sterling’s dominance in the second and third rounds. Sterling took the fight to the mat and controlled Yan’s back, putting the MMA star from Russia in as vulnerable a position as he has ever encountered in his career.
More than seven minutes of ground control in those two rounds gave Sterling a decisive advantage, allowing him to ultimately score the split decision victory despite a very strong fourth and fifth from Yan.
“One round at a time, that’s what I kept telling myself,” Sterling said. “When I got through the third round, I got a little ahead of myself and saw the finish line before I should have. I felt so safe on the ground defensively that I let him back into the fight, but I was able to persevere through the fourth and fifth.”
Naturally, when it comes to Sterling and Yan, there was still a modicum of controversy involved in the decision. Speaking through a translator in his post-fight interview, Yan expressed frustration over the judges’ scoring, feeling robbed and wanting a rematch.

After five grueling rounds, the decision went to the judges’ scorecards. Sterling was flooded with a wide range of emotions as soon as he heard ring announcer Bruce Buffer declare that one of the judges awarded the fight to Yan.
“I thought I was cruising to a decision,” said Sterling. “To hear he won a scorecard, that was baffling. I thought I had a 10-8 round in the second and possibly the third. I couldn’t see how this man won this fight on any scorecard.
“It is what is what is, but I just wish we could get some clarity from the judges so we, as athletes, would know what we need to do better. That would allow us to adjust during the fight. But Yan’s a tough competitor and former champion for a reason. I’m glad I was able to get it done in those first three rounds.”
Carried to victory by a fighting spirit that was developed back home in Long Island, Sterling was honored to win the fight in front of his mother. This was her first time watching her son in the UFC, and she picked a perfect night to attend.
“She actually called me Thursday night right before I was about to start my weight cut to say she wanted to come,” Sterling said. “It was out of the blue, but we got her here and I’m grateful she was able to experience everything. It meant a lot that she could see it.
“We’re blue collar, we find a way to preserve. My path hasn’t been easy, but that’s Strong Island-Long Island. And I’m so proud to do it through wrestling. I’ve been wrestling since the 10th grade. It teaches you about adversity and a lot about life, how to adjust perspective and grinding it out. Even last time when it wasn’t going well against Yan, I was ready to go out on my shield. Wrestling is all about never giving up and succeeding through the work you put in behind the scenes, and that’s what happened here.”
After solving Yan and putting their rivalry in the rear view, Sterling can now celebrate his lifetime pursuit of excellence. But only briefly, as he knows that new challenges await, beginning with former champion T.J. Dillashaw.
“It’s been a long road and a long, long 13 months,” Sterling said. “I’m blessed to be back here doing what I love and chasing my dream.
“Next is T.J., then maybe José Aldo and Dominick Cruz. It’s time to keep climbing. I want to write my name in UFC history.”

American midfielder Gio Reyna will miss the rest of the Bundesliga season.
The 19-year-old sustained a muscle and tendon injury just after kickoff of Borussia Dortmund's game against Stuttgart on Friday night, and he left the field in tears in the second minute.
Dortmund said Sunday that Reyna will not play during the rest of the season, which ends on May 15. The 2022-23 season starts Aug. 5.
The 19-year-old, a son of former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna and women's national team player Danielle Egan, was limited to 10 league matches and 439 minutes this season, making six starts.
He injured his right hamstring in the United States’ opening World Cup qualifier at El Salvador on Sept. 2. He didn’t return to the field until Feb. 6, then in his third game back hurt a leg and was out until March 13.
Reyna played his first full match since summer for Dortmund on March 20, reported back to the U.S. team and made three second-half appearances in World Cup qualifiers from March 24-30 for a total of 106 minutes.
He played the final 17 minutes at RB Leipzig on April 2, then got hurt Friday.
Reyna has four goals in 12 international appearances.
U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter will gather his players for exhibitions on June 1 and 5 followed by CONCACAF Nations League matches against Grenada on June 11 and at El Salvador three days later.
The U.S. is planning friendlies for Sept. 23 and 27 ahead of its World Cup opener against Scotland, Wales or Ukraine on Nov. 21.

Eller scores, Capitals beat Bruins for 3rd consecutive win
WASHINGTON (AP) - Lars Eller got comfortable back at center, and the Washington Capitals seem to have found a groove after a bump in the road.
Returning to his natural position after two games on the wing, Eller scored the go-ahead goal and assisted on another Sunday to help the Capitals beat the Boston Bruins 4-2 and extend their winning streak to three.
Eller was only back at center because Nicklas Backstrom was scratched for what the team called "body maintenance," and he made the most of it by putting Washington ahead with 12:42 left and setting up Tom Wilson's 23rd goal of the season.
"It felt very satisfying, of course, netting a couple of big goals with Tom and (linemate Anthony Mantha)," Eller said. "We had a good game going, feeling good on the puck and really happy with how we played."
With Eller as an important part of the rotation, Washington's penalty kill was a perfect 4 of 4 against Boston's power play.
"The guys were buzzing," said goaltender Vitek Vanecek, who had to make only three of his 30 saves short-handed. "They were blocking shots. Boston tried some passes, and we broke them up, so that was huge. That´s what we need at this time."

The Capitals are also getting more than what they need from Wilson, who has four goals in six games and reached 50 points in a season for the first time in his career. John Carlson also scored his third goal in as many games and Alex Ovechkin sealed it with an empty-netter.
Ovechkin's goal was his 45th of the season and 775th of his NHL career. His ninth empty-net goal tied Pavel Bure's single-season record.
After beating the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, the Capitals are inching closer to their biggest rivals and could soon pass them for third in the Metropolitan Division - which would mean avoiding the Eastern Conference-leading Florida Panthers in the first round. Washington's three-game streak followed back-to-back deflating losses at home.
"We don´t have any room to lay off the gas," Carlson said. "We´re in a tight race. We know that if we played like we were (playing) down the stretch here, our season´s going to be really short."
Boston, which is also jockeying for playoff positioning in the East, lost defenseman Matt Grzelcyk to an upper-body injury in the first period. He attempted to hit Washington´s Garnet Hathaway about eight minutes into the game and appeared to injure his left arm or shoulder.
Coach Bruce Cassidy called Grzelcyk's departure "a big, big, big factor in the game, in our inability to transition very well."
The banged-up Bruins were already playing without top right winger David Pastrnak and trade deadline acquisition Hampus Lindholm because of injuries. They got goals from Curtis Lazar and Erik Haula and a handful of highlight-reel saves from Linus Ullmark among his 27, but the continuation of power-play woes meant the end of their two-game winning streak.
Boston finished its four-game road trip 0 of 16 on the power play.
"We´ve had some issues where there´s stuff we´ll continue to try to coach into our group," Cassidy said. "But at some point, the execution will turn because they´re good players and they have produced on the power play."
NOTES: Conor Sheary returned to Washington's lineup after a one-game absence because of illness. ... Josh Brown replaced Connor Clifton on defense for Boston. ... The Capitals held a moment of silence for former Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who was killed Saturday in an auto accident.

Bruins: Open a three-game homestand Tuesday night against the St. Louis Blues in a rematch of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final.

The colors of spring florals welcomed attendees to the inaugural Northshore Arts In Bloom show.
Held April 1-2, the show was greeted with enthusiasm and widespread support, according to the planners who welcomed large crowds to the activities that were part of the event that was spread out over several venues in historic downtown Hammond.
Visitors who attended the opening event of the weekend, the Patrons’ Party held at the Columbia Theater, were drawn to three huge floral arrangements in the theater’s entrance foyer that were prepared by professional florists.
On display in the adjacent gallery were several dozen floral arrangements that were created by designers who were asked to interpret paintings through floral arrangements. Each competitor was assigned a different painting that was borrowed from private collectors.
Pat Graves, of the Northshore Arts Foundation and the leader of the Arts In Bloom event, said, “It was most gratifying to see the huge number of visitors who chose to come to the opening event. This was our inaugural event and we just did not know how the public would embrace a festival based on a floral theme. Many who came said that they had never seen a flower arrangement show before and they just kept saying over and over again just how beautiful the arrangements were.”
“We were well organized and we worked very hard for weeks to put the festival together," Graves said. "When we set out to bring the Arts In Bloom event to Hammond, we just knew that there were many talented floral designers on the north shore and we wanted to give them the opportunity to show their creativity and dedication to the art of flower arranging.”
She said, “What a show like Arts in Bloom does is demonstrate that there is more to flowers than a corsage or flowers in a vase. What we had here were the kinds of arrangements that are seen at debutante parties, corporate events and even the White House. Our show put the spotlight on the beauty of floral arranging.”
Arts in Bloom was about more than just the floral arrangements on display at the Columbia Theater. Across the street at the Hammond Regional Arts Center was a special exhibit featuring works of art from New Orleans artists. On display were examples of paintings that reflected a wide range of artistic talent.
On Saturday, the Arts in Bloom event continued with the displays open to the public at the Columbia Theater and the arts center. At the same time, a special Art and Flower Market was held at the Hammond Downtown Development District’s Farmers Market also located in downtown Hammond.
In addition to the regular booths that usually fill the market, visitors could peruse about 30 more booths, many featuring plants, flowers and homegrown vegetables. Among the stops of interest at the market was a booth manned by personnel from the Fleur de Lis Tea Company, an Amite farm that is now growing tea commercially. David Barron, who started the tea farm last year, said while growing tea is a new endeavor in Louisiana, the crop holds promise. “We think that tea as a cash crop has great potential. We will know in a few years just how successful we might be. We are working with plant experts at LSU to develop tea as a crop and it is very encouraging,” Barron said.
A colorful stop at the market was a bicycle-drawn cart where Sheryl Davis and Sandy Noto were selling tulips and other flowers. The duo, representing Yellow Van Farms, said flowers are being grown on the farm for local and regional florists and for people who wish to purchase bouquets and decorative flower arrangements.
Also busy was Mckailee Karling, who was selling baskets of strawberries grown by Heather Dale Robertson at the Jon-Dale Farms in Ponchatoula. She said she had no trouble selling her strawberries and she had already sold dozens of boxes of the sweet treats that were once the agricultural mainstay of the area.
At the nearby Reimers Auditorium, professionals in the area of landscaping, horticulture and flowers offered lectures on the subjects during the day Saturday as part of Plants In Bloom.
On Saturday afternoon, play readings were offered at the Reimers Theater.
Summing up the flurry of activities connected with Arts In Bloom, Lacy Landrum, Hammond administrator, said, “The flower arrangement show was visually stunning … just beautiful. It demonstrated just how much creativity we have in this area. All of the activities added up to a very special weekend in our city. I feel sure that Hammond will be the envy of other cities when they hear about the success of our Arts In Bloom event.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Mark Kotsay had a game ball on his desk and an Oakland Athletics uniform that reeked of beer in the hamper. Kotsay needed to change into shorts after his players sprayed him with suds for winning his first game as a big league manager.
In what could be a long season in Oakland, which is in rebuilding mode again, Kotsay will take the celebrations when they come.
“I haven’t had one of those since my rookie year,” he said of the alcohol shower.
Billy McKinney homered and Daulton Jefferies and four relievers combined on a three-hitter to lead the A’s past the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Sunday and avert a three-game sweep.
A’s catcher Austin Allen gave Kotsay the celebratory game ball.
“Kots is awesome. He’s like having another player out there,” Allen said. “He’s just leading the ship. His energy and everything is amazing. We all couldn’t be happier for him to be our manager and to get his first win for him.”
Kotsay, 46, was promoted from third base coach to manager and replaced Bob Melvin.
The A’s shut down a Phillies offense that scored 13 runs in the first two games of the series. The Phillies’ only two hits through the first five innings came from backups Garrett Stubbs and Johan Camargo.
Jean Segura hit his second homer off the season for the Phillies in the ninth off Lou Trivino.
Jefferies (1-0) tossed two-hit ball over five scoreless innings before he was yanked after he issued a leadoff walk in the sixth. Sam Moll, Domingo Acevedo and Kirby Snead tossed three shutout innings.
A’s pitchers threw eight or fewer pitches in four innings.
“I didn’t really have a problem with that because I felt we hit a number of balls hard,” Phillies manager Joe Girardi said.
Tony Kemp’s two-RBI single in the ninth that made it 4-0 sent most of what was left of 33,507 fans headed toward the exits on a chilly, windy day at the ballpark.
Elvis Andrus hit a one-out double off Bailey Falter (0-1) and scored on Seth Brown’s bloop single to left in the sixth that gave Oakland its first lead of the season.
McKinney, who became the 1,000th player in Oakland A’s history on Friday, hit a solo shot to right off Falter in the seventh. The 1,000-player milestone marks major history for the A’s in Oakland — even more than in Philadelphia. The A’s are in their 55th season in Oakland after playing 54 years in Philadelphia, from 1901-1954 (the A’s spent 13 years in Kansas City).
Phillies starter Zach Eflin, acquired from the Dodgers in 2014 in the Jimmy Rollins trade, made his first start since July 16 against Miami. He was scratched from his next scheduled start because of what the Phillies said was tendinitis in his right knee. The injury turned out worse than expected for the right-hander: Eflin had surgery in September to repair a tear in his right patellar tendon.
“It’s just one of those scenarios where I just have to remind myself what I’ve been though this offseason,” Eflin said. “It felt nice to get the training wheels off and move out there with no limitations.”
Eflin still needs time to build arm strength and return to form but was solid over 68 pitches and four shutout innings. He escaped his only jam in the third inning when he loaded the bases with no outs. Andrus lined one back to Eflin that he caught and whirled around to double Christian Pache off second. He retired Sean Murphy on a popup to keep the game scoreless.
SO FRESH, SO CLEAN
“I did shower for you guys.” — Kotsay to the media after a delay for his postgame news conference.
HEAVEN SENT
Girardi and the Phillies might have a little help from above this season.
Well, at least from Girardi’s top shelf inside the manager’s office, where a Sister Jean bobblehead keeps watch. Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt has become the face of Loyola Chicago during the NCAA Tournament, and her figurine is part of Girardi’s collection as an inside joke.
Girardi played at Northwestern and remained close with his catching coach, Bob Behrns, who didn’t exactly pick Loyola to win it all.
“Bobby didn’t believe in the power of Sister Jean,” Girardi said with a laugh.
Behrns told him, “C’mon, there’s other Catholic and Christian schools playing in this.”
Girardi’s retort, “Sister Jean’s got like a hundred years on them.”
Girardi turned to an inside source to have fun at Behrns’ expense. Girardi asked his old coach’s son, Loyola sports information director Bill Behrns, for two bobbleheads — one for Girardi and his office and another “just to rub it in” and send to the former catching coach.
UP NEXT
The A’s head to Tampa Bay for the next four games of a 10-game road trip. They will send RHP Paul Blackburn (1-4, 5.87 ERA in 2021) to the mound on Monday against Rays RHP Luis Patino (5-3, 4.31 in 2021).
The Phillies welcome a more traditional rival and open a three-game set against the New York Mets. The Phillies send LHP Ranger Suarez (8-5, 1.36 ERA in 2021) to the mound against New York RHP Taijuan Walker (7-11, 4.47 ERA in 2021).

Revisiting the Words of Ukrainian Poets Ilya Kaminsky and Halyna Kruk During Russian Invasion
April 10, 2022
Poetry is a vital means of communicating feelings, and the voices of Ukrainian poets like Ilya Kaminsky and Halyna Kruk have become resonant as Ukraine experiences conflict in the wake of Russia’s invasion.
Powerful Poetics
Many Ukrainian poets have been referenced or cited in the weeks since Russia’s invasion of the country. Many artists living in the Ukraine have sparked support and solidarity, combatting a long history of Ukrainian artists and poets being silenced. During the Soviet Union’s rise to power in the 1920s, many Ukrainian poets died under mysterious circumstances, according to an article by Myroslav Laiuk for Literary Hub. Others were placed into concentration camps or beaten to death. This violence continued until the 1980s when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Through these trials, Ukrainian poets never lost their voices. Testaments of love, loss, war and moments of peace echo through their words. There is joy and sadness in the work of those poets and their voices echo in the contemporary poems of Ukraine.
Kaminsky is perhaps one of Ukraine’s most prolific contemporary poets. His poem “We Lived Happily During The War” has been widely circulated in the current climate of relations between Russia and Ukraine. Kaminsky writes, “in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, / our great country of money, we (forgive us) / lived happily during the war.”
The poem tells of the intricacies and conflict of war, focusing on those who choose to be complacent while others have their homes and lives taken around them. This rings true in foreign developed countries, standing in stark contrast to the resolve that the Ukrainian people have shown during Russia’s invasion.
Poetry as Resistance
Another notable poet is Kruk. Born in Lviv, Ukraine, Kruk is a poet concerned with emotional and striking depictions of war and history. In “Bomb Shelter,” Kruk writes, “How many people will be trampled at the last bomb shelter? / I can’t begin to imagine how God will make a choice … / One in ten thousand? / One in a million? / And what about arithmetical errors?”
The poem is a conversation between a teacher and her students about what will happen if there is another war and children must evacuate to a bomb shelter that is too large for their number. Kruk’s lyrical and straightforward writing style lends itself to a hauntingly plausible image. She depicts the possible casualties and fears of warfare with unsettling grace.
Ukrainian poetry is different from what scholars and casual poetry readers might be used to. It is poetic in form and style, but its subject matter is not a monument to everything lovely and ethereal. Instead, it provides a reflection of a different experience — one that is resilient and not always sweet. While there are beautiful poems of love, life and quiet moments, to ignore the messages of war and suffering chronicled by these poets is to devalue art that isn’t idealistic or roseate in its depictions of life.

Grant banking on increased coffee production to boost prices
President of the Jamaica Coffee Exporters Association, Norman Grant, is expressing confidence that prices will improve as producers push to increase supply.
Grant says he is banking on the current increasing demand for Jamaican coffee, led by the premium Blue Mountain Coffee.
He says the association, in partnership with the Jamaica Agricultural Commodities Regulatory Authority (JACRA), have engaged in a process with the government to look into the expansion of planting.
He says they have asked the government to pump $1 billion into the planting of coffee over the next five years.
Grant says this will increase production from its current level of 270,000 boxes to 450,000 boxes.
According to him, this will increase revenues from US$17 million per annum to US$25 million.
“It will also lead to import substitution, increasing the production of coffee in our non-Blue Mountain areas for local consumption. If this programme gets off the ground, over a period of 10 years, we could see the Jamaican coffee industry generating US$100M per annum,” Grant stated.
He commended Agriculture Minister Pearnel Charles Jnr. for encouraging the industry so far and being open to the project.
“It is a project that we must get off the ground, it is a game-changer for the coffee industry, and we will keep on driving it to make sure that happens.”
Grant was speaking recently at the Ueshima Coffee Company Coffee Quality Competition held at Devon House in St Andrew.
According to him, increased production of Jamaican coffee would boost farmers’ incomes by US$1.5 billion.
“We are producing 270,000 boxes now and if we were able to produce 320,000 to 350,000 boxes in this crop, we would have sold it and, therefore, it is impatient of debate that we need to be consistent with increasing production,” he said.
He congratulated the farmers for participating in the UCC Coffee Quality Competition and lauded the Japanese Ueshima Coffee Company for continuing to support the venture that is now celebrating six years.

Armed robbery suspect backs out after tables turned at Houston car dealership
HOUSTON - Officials need your help finding a suspect who got more than he bargained for when he tried to rob a car dealership at gunpoint.
Surveillance footage provided by the Houston Police Department shows at least two men driving up to a car dealership on March 2022 in the 7300 block of Gulf Freeway in southeast Houston.
From there, an employee told police one of the men walked up to him asking if he could test drive a car. The employee walked into the office, with the alleged suspect following behind.
Officials say as the employee sat on his chair, he noticed the man pulling up his shirt, which was also caught on camera, showing the man reaching for a gun.
However, that's when we're told the employee grabbed his gun, which is not shown in the frame but does show the suspected robber smiling and saying, "no," before walking out of the office.

The second man, who remained in the car, a Black Mercedes with temporary license plates, fled from the parking lot after seeing the suspect make a run for it.
(Photo courtesy of Houston Police Department)
Officials have described both suspects as Black men, but only the robbery suspect as 5'7 to 5'9, weighing between 250 pounds, between 28 and 40-years-old, wearing a gray hoodie and black pants.

If you have any information on the suspects involved in this attempted robbery, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. Any information that could help lead to an arrest may result in a cash reward of up to $5,000.

PDSA pet advice - Rabbit dental care – how to look after bunny teeth
Dental care is an essential part of our daily lives but, while we are all used to brushing and flossing our own pearly whites, tooth care for our bunnies needs special consideration.
PDSA vet nurse Nina Downing said good dental care is essential for all pets but rabbits need special attention when it comes to caring for their teeth.
“Our bouncing bunnies can be prone to painful dental issues, sadly made worse in many cases by selective breeding and not feeding enough hay. Rabbits need hay – it is the most important part of their diet. Not only is it well-balanced and full of fibre, it’s really important for keeping rabbit teeth healthy – a poor diet can contribute to dental disease in bunnies.
“Unlike human teeth, theirs grow constantly throughout their life, so they need to spend a lot of time nibbling and chewing to wear them down. If your rabbits’ teeth don’t get constant wear through grazing, they’ll start to overgrow.
“So it’s vital you keep your rabbit supplied with plenty of good quality feeding hay. We’re working with Burgess Pet Care to promote the welfare needs of rabbits and small animals, and recommend feeding Burgess Excel Feeding Hay with Dandelion and Marigold, while also allowing them to graze on growing grass in their run.
“You can also give them fresh vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and bell peppers, along with just one tablespoon of rabbit nuggets per day, two if they’re a large breed.”
It’s not always easy to examine your rabbits’ mouths – in most cases, we can only see front teeth. If they are overgrown or growing in a strange direction, it’s likely that the teeth further back are also growing oddly and will be causing problems and pain. Have your rabbits’ teeth routinely checked by your vet a few times a year.
“Rabbits instinctively hide pain and discomfort, so unfortunately dental disease can often go unnoticed for a long time. Early warning signs that your bunny may be suffering include dropping food while they’re eating, drooling or being wet around the mouth.
“You may also notice weight loss, teeth grinding, a bumpy jawline, reduced appetite, diarrhoea, a change in behaviour or a build-up of caecotrophs (sticky poos) around their bottom.
“Rabbits that have been bred to have a flatter face shape with a shorter nose and jaw have less space in the mouth, so the teeth become misaligned, preventing them from being worn down when chewing.”

ASK OUR EXPERT
PDSA Vet Nurse Nina Downing answers all your pet questions
Dear PDSA Vet, my dog had five puppies about a week ago but one of them is much smaller than the others. He keeps getting pushed out of the way and I’m not sure if he’s getting enough to eat. Should I do anything to intervene? Elsa
Dear Elsa, the first thing to do is to weigh the puppies each day to make sure they’re gaining weight. If the puppy isn’t gaining weight as he’s being pushed out, you may need to move the other pups to one side so he can feed first.
But, if he’s too weak to do this, you may need to hand rear him – speak with your vet for advice on bottle feeding. Hand rearing puppies is a big commitment. In the first couple of weeks of life, pups need to feed every two to three hours.
Dear PDSA Vet, I have just brought home my first hamster. Every time I try to get her out of her cage, she goes back down her tunnel or runs away from me as fast as she can. Why is she doing this and is there anything that can prevent her from running away? Michael
Dear Michael, your hamster needs time to settle into her new home and get used to you – running away is an instinctive behaviour that helps to keep hamsters safe in the wild.
Approach her calmly and gently, never from above, and avoid waking her up during the day as hamsters are nocturnal.
Offer her favourite food from your hand so that she learns to associate you with something nice.
Then, when she seems happy to approach you, try gently scooping her up from beneath her in your open palms, remembering to always hold her near a surface in case she falls.
Dear PDSA Vet, My big grey cat Pascal is ten and he’s always been quite heavy, which I think is due to his breed. But recently he seems to have lost a lot of weight – is there something wrong with him? Callie
Dear Callie, there are a number of medical conditions that could be causing your precious puss to lose weight despite a healthy appetite so you should take him to a vet to find out what is wrong.
Certain diseases, such as diabetes, kidney disease and hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss, and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as increased appetite or thirst, or increased need to urinate.
Many of these health problems can be improved with the right treatment, so I’d always recommend visiting your vet to identify the root cause and discuss how you can help your furry friend feel better.

Dear PDSA Vet, My five-year-old dog has recently developed a lump on her face, but it doesn’t seem to cause her any pain. What should I do? Layla
Dear Layla,
Even if she doesn’t appear to be in any pain or discomfort, it’s a good idea to take your pooch to the vet to have the lump checked. They can give her a full examination to determine whether the swelling is a cause for concern – it could be anything from a skin tag, wart, cyst, or the development of an abscess. It may be that your vet concludes that the lump is nothing to worry about, but it’s best to be on the safe side. It’s always a good idea to keep a log of any changes you notice in the lump, you can even track it over time by taking regular photos.

Israel and West Bank on edge after more bloodshed
Hours later, a Palestinian woman armed with a knife was shot dead after she slightly wounded a paramilitary border policeman in Hebron, outside the Tomb of the Patriarchs, which Muslims call al-Ibrahimi mosque, Israeli security officials said. Israeli forces have been on high alert following attacks by three members of Israel's Arab minority and two Palestinians from the West Bank that have killed 14 people in Israel since late March.
Israeli forces killed two Palestinian women on Sunday after one ran towards troops and the other stabbed a soldier in separate incidents in the occupied West Bank, Israeli security officials said. With violence surging after a string of deadly Arab attacks in Israel, a Palestinian man was killed by Israeli soldiers during what local residents said were confrontations with stone-throwers near the West Bank town of Bethlehem, the Palestinian health ministry announced.
The Israeli military said troops shot a Palestinian throwing petrol bombs towards an Israeli vehicle. The bloodshed has coincided with the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, when Israeli-Palestinian violence has erupted in the past and, last May, spiralled into an 11-day war between Gaza militants and Israel.
In Bethlehem, no weapon was found on the body of a Palestinian woman who was shot and killed after she ignored soldiers' calls and warning fire to stop running towards them, the Israeli military said, adding it had begun an investigation. Hours later, a Palestinian woman armed with a knife was shot dead after she slightly wounded a paramilitary border policeman in Hebron, outside the Tomb of the Patriarchs, which Muslims call al-Ibrahimi mosque, Israeli security officials said.
Israeli forces have been on high alert following attacks by three members of Israel's Arab minority and two Palestinians from the West Bank that have killed 14 people in Israel since late March. More than 20 Palestinians, many of them armed militants, have been killed by Israeli forces since January, while Palestinians have reported a rise in violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
Hussein al-Sheikh, a senior Palestinian official, said Israel's expansion of settlements on occupied land Palestinians want for a state and visits by far-right Israelis to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem have led to escalation. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has said Arab assailants were "trying to destroy us" and were "moved by hatred of Jews and of the State of Israel".
Israeli forces have been mounting raids in and around the West Bank city of Jenin, a militant stronghold, to try to thwart what Bennett has called "a new wave of terrorism".

Florida man accused of punching boy with cognitive disability unconscious
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - A Florida man was arrested after allegedly beating up a 17-year-old boy who has a cognitive disability because he was texting the man's younger sister, according to the Volusia County charging affidavit.
That boy was taken to the hospital with cuts to his face, chin, and jaw, requiring surgery, according to the report.
Jihad M. Morales, 21, was arrested and booked into jail on one count of aggravated child abuse. He declined to talk to deputies.
According to the affidavit, the 17-year-old boy met the 13-year-old at the school bus stop, and eventually the two began exchanging messages via text and social media. The boy's mom reportedly told the girl that her son had the mental capacity of a nine-year-old, the report said.
The report did not disclose the context of the messages being sent.
Jidah Moreales mug shot. Via Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Weeks later, Morales, identified as the girl's brother, allegedly walked up to the boy as he was walking to the bus stop and "punched [him] in the face with his right hand," causing the boy to fall down and lose consciousness. Morales allegedly continued to punch the boy until he lost consciousness.
He allegedly told the boy, "this is for talking to my sister," according to the report.
Investigators said the victim’s injuries were so severe that he was transferred from Advent Health Bert Fish Hospital to Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital.
Court records show this is Jihad’s third arrest as an adult. Deputies said Morales has two previous felony convictions related to possession of a firearm by a delinquent and possession of synthetic cannabinoids.
Morales is now out of jail on a $25,000 bond.

The eight-mile Kremlin convoy on road to war: Satellite images show column of Russian armoured vehicles heading for key battles in eastern Ukraine
- Eight mile convoy heads to eastern Ukraine where decisive battles are expected
- Russian commanders 'believe the Donbas represents best chance of success'
- The Kremlin is seeking a victory there to justify its 'special military operation'
These chilling satellite images show hundreds of Russian armoured vehicles heading for a major confrontation with Ukrainian troops which could decide the outcome of the war.
The grainy pictures show a column of trucks, some towing artillery, stretching for more than eight miles through Russian-held territory.
The convoy is heading towards eastern Ukraine where decisive battles are expected.
Tens of thousands of Russian troops are heading to the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk – known collectively as the Donbas.
The Kremlin is seeking a victory there to justify its 'special military operation', which has failed to capture any major cities. According to Western officials, Russian commanders believe the Donbas represents their best chance of success.
The convoy was photographed moving through the town of Velykyi Burluk, near the city of Kharkiv, on Friday
They have retreated from other areas, including around Ukraine's capital city Kyiv, to focus their efforts there. But Ukrainian forces are determined to push them back.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak said last night: 'Ukraine is ready for big battles. Ukraine must win them, including the Donbas. And once that happens, Ukraine will have a more powerful negotiating positions.'
Mr Podolyak suggested the fighting could continue for a further three weeks. After that he said he expected presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin to meet to agree a negotiated settlement.
Satellite imagery firm Maxar Technologies shared the images yesterday. The convoy was photographed moving through the town of Velykyi Burluk, near the city of Kharkiv, on Friday.

The President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF), Mr. Igoche Mark, has called on Basketball players group, under the aegis of Concerned Progressive Ballers (CPB), to observe maximum restraint, and call off their plan to hit the streets of Abuja this week.
According to Mr. Mark, the NBBF was reliably informed by impeccable sources, that the players have vowed to stage a massive protest in Abuja, to bring to the attention of the Federal Government, and People of Abuja, what they described as, “clandestine moves” by Youth and Sports Development Minister, Mr. Sunday Dare, to foist Engr. Musa Kida on them as NBBF President.
In a swift reaction to the above, the NBBF in statement signed by its President, Mr. Mark cautioned the agitated players to exercise restrain, in digesting the rumours, concerning the Sports Ministry stance in the NBBF leadership impasse, which has now gone viral.
He described the report of the Sports Ministry preference for Engr. Kida as fake news, while noting that he remains the authentic NBBF President, as he was overwhelmingly voted into office, on January 31, 2022 in Abuja, by all key Stakeholders of Nigerian Basketball, in compliance with the guidelines, made available by the Sports Ministry.
“I want to plead with our players planning the protest or showdown with the Sports Ministry over the rumour or perceived bias in handling the post election crisis in the NBBF, to please exercise restraint and stay calm. As I speak, there has been no official communication from the Sports Ministry nullifying the election held at MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja where I and other members of our Board were elected. We followed the Ministry’s guidelines just like other federation boards that emerged in September, 2021. The report that the Sports Minister has nullified the elections of January 31, 2022 in Abuja is therefore baseless, a figment of the imagination of those circulating the rumor, or put simply *fake news*.
Mr. Mark went on to stress that the NBBF Board with him at the helm, will always prioritize the welfare, of players, home and abroad, and he has consequently directed the Players Rep in the Board, Mr. Stanely Gumut to meet with the aggrieved players on Monday with a view to listening to their grievances, offer them the true position of things, and ultimately pacify the aggitated ones among them.

Departing Labour MP Louisa Wall has said she was surprised and disappointed to be told by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern that she would never be a Cabinet minister.
Wall told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking that politics was more complicated than whether someone was competent or not.
"It is about the confidence somebody has in you, particularly in leadership, and unfortunately, I wasn't in the category that was provided with that privilege to sit around the Cabinet table," said Wall.
"I think there are some personalities that can work together and some that can't, at the end of the day I accepted the coach's call and then you just get on with the job."

Advertise with NZME.Wall also believed that Ardern had made it clear she did not want her in caucus.
This morning, Ardern told TVNZ's Breakfast that it would not serve anyone well to discuss why she didn't want Wall to be a part of her Cabinet.
Ardern acknowledged that there were many other talented MPs that had not made it into those roles.
"That doesn't mean that they haven't played an important part in our team," said Ardern.
While disappointing, the absence of a Cabinet role meant Wall had time to focus on other work, Wall said.
"If I had to choose, I would choose having all the legislation I have been involved with in the past because I do really think it has benefited New Zealand and changed the lives of many New Zealanders and I couldn't have been prouder to be involved in that," said Wall.
"I didn't go into Parliament with a particular role – I went in to use my role to better New Zealanders' lives and to make a contribution."
Ardern was also focusing on the work Wall had contributed to the Labour Party over her 14 years of service.

Advertise with NZME."She's had a number of really significant bills - I'm proud to have supported all of them," said Ardern.
"They will leave a legacy and that's what I'd like to focus on at this point in her career, as well as the challenge - the next role she is taking on, which I think will also be a benefit to all of us."
Wall will deliver her valedictory speech on Thursday, before Parliament breaks for Easter.
Her resignation takes effect on May 1 - she will take a new role with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade as a Pacific ambassador for gender equality, as well as a wider role promoting LGBTQI rights.
