Retired coal miners in West Virginia have enough to deal with regarding their health without having to cross their fingers and hope their prescription drug coverage hasn’t lapsed.
But that’s exactly what some have had to do recently, which led to retirees and the United Mine Workers of America last week seeking contempt of court rulings against five coal companies owned by Gov. Jim Justice.
Coverage lapses because of late or nonpayment from the companies have left retirees to pay out of pocket for expensive and essential prescription medications, hoping to get reimbursed once things get straightened out on the companies’ end. Unfortunately, it’s not a new problem.
Four retirees and the UMW sued the five companies in 2019 alleging lapses in prescription coverage. The case was settled in March 2021, with an agreement to ensure the coverage was solvent. However, just six weeks later, the plaintiffs alleged that the lapses in coverage were happening again, resulting in a June 2021 court order to comply with the original agreement. Less than two weeks after that order, another filing from the union and the miners alleged that the companies had allowed drug coverage to lapse 10 times in less than nine months.
An attorney for the companies, owned by Justice and operated by his son and daughter, told the Gazette-Mail last week that coverage had been restored but didn’t comment on why it had lapsed. The governor, who has remained involved in his businesses to some degree despite his elected position, also declined to comment.
Really, what could Justice say that would make it right or adequately explain anything? He and his companies have a clear pattern of treating court rulings, agreements and settlements as if they’re crumpled-up notes in a suggestion box, rather than legally binding obligations.
Last week, in a completely unrelated case, the U.S. Department of Justice asked a federal court in Virginia to order 23 coal companies owned by Gov. Justice to comply with a 2-year-old court order requiring $5.13 million in civil penalties for safety violations. Prosecutors allege that the companies had been late on their monthly payments in the cases and failed to pay anything last month.
This is a pattern with Justice that plays out over and over. The governor reaches a legal settlement, then the plaintiffs and the courts spend most of their time trying to enforce it. Justice doesn’t think the rules apply to him in any given situation.
This lack of responsibility ends up hurting others, which is something either the governor or his children don’t seem to get. Justice claims to support West Virginia’s coal industry. It’s certainly in his best financial interest to do so. But can he really claim he cares about the people who do the work when this is how his companies treat them?

Free RATs for Victorians with a disability
Victorians living with a disability will soon be able to receive free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests.
Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed the RATs would be available from Saturday at current testing sites and through Disability Liaison Officers.
Residents will need some evidence of eligibility, such as an NDIS statement, to collect the tests.
Each person will be able to collect up to 20 free RATs at a time.
Australian of the Year and disability advocate Dylan Alcott was part of the announcement, saying the free RATs would help ensure those with a disability could live their lives in a safe way.
The announcement comes as the state recorded 12,314 new COVID-19 cases and four deaths on Thursday.
There are 283 people in hospital with the virus, with 12 in ICU and two on ventilators.

Which bar stool is best?
Whether you have a breakfast bar or a bar height table, the right bar stools bring it all together. Most buyers are searching for comfortable and practical stools that also look great.
Choosing a bar stool of the right height is essential, so don’t get confused with smaller counter stools. Ball & Cast Bar Height Swivel Stools are sturdy with comfortable seats and backs, so they’re ideal for many buyers.
What to know before you buy a bar stool
Height
The average height for a bar stool is 28-30 inches. This measurement is the seat height, rather than the height at the tallest part of the stool if it has a back. Bar height tables and other surfaces measure approximately 42 inches, so stools of this height allow you comfortably tuck yourself in at a counter or high-top table. That said, you will find some bars of a non-standard height, or what you think is a bar height island or breakfast bar might be counter height. There are other stools of better heights for these surfaces. If you aren’t sure of the height of your bar, measure it before buying stools.
Back and arms
Some bar stools are backless, while others have backs and arms or just backs. Many people don’t find backless stools comfortable for long periods. As such, they aren’t ideal if your bar height table or island is your main eating area and you might spend long meal times sitting there. If you choose a stool with arms, check that the arms will fit under your bar top, as it gets annoying if you can’t tuck your stool in all the way.
Style
You’ll find a huge range of stool styles, so consider your existing decor or what style you’re going for if you’re redecorating. No matter how good a bar stool looks, it will appear out of place if it doesn’t fit with your decorative style. For instance, if you choose a rustic stool for a room with a sleek, modern decorative style, it will just look odd. It’s possible to combine different styles within one room, but it requires careful consideration and the styles must make sense together.
What to look for in a quality bar stool
Swivel seat
It’s easier to hop on and off your stool if it has a swivel seat. Attempting to tuck in a tall stool while you’re sitting on it can be tricky.
Color choices
It’s nice to have a range of choices of color and finish so you can find something that works with your existing furniture.
Footrest
Bar stools should have a footrest, so your feet aren’t left dangling uncomfortably. Check the footrest height to check it will be comfortable, especially if you’re particularly short or tall.
How much you can expect to spend on bar stools
You can pay anywhere from $25-$50 for a basic stool to $250-$500 for an elaborate one. They’re often sold in pairs or sets of four, so consider the price per stool rather than the overall price.
Bar stool FAQ
What’s the difference between a counter stool and a bar stool?
A. Average counter height is 36 inches, so counter stools measure roughly 24 to 26 inches to let you comfortably sit at a counter. The standard bar height is 42 inches, so you need a taller 28-30 inch bar stool for sitting at a bar or bar height table. It’s worth noting that breakfast bars and kitchen islands with areas designed for seating may be at either standard counter height or bar height, so measure before buying so you don’t get the wrong type of stool.
Do bar stools have to match your other furniture?
A. They don’t have to match other furniture unless you want them to, but going for a mismatched look is trickier to get right. Say you have a bar table with a mahogany finish, light pine bar stools would look like they were unintentionally mismatched and you hadn’t thought much about your furniture choices. Bar stools with black legs and bright mustard or dark green velvet seats, on the other hand, wouldn’t match a mahogany table but would create a cohesive look that appears well-thought-out. So, consider how your chosen stools will look with the rest of the furniture in the room.

Which Fitbit is best?
Keeping fit is a mammoth task if you don’t know where to start or how to keep track of your workouts. Some mobile devices can do that for you, but they aren’t as reliable as a dedicated gadget on your wrist.
That is where Fitbit comes in, as it has taken many years of research and development to produce the perfect workout partners. The Fitbit Versa 3 is an excellent option if you are looking for a comfortable device with a large color screen.
What to know before you buy a Fitbit
Decide between a fitness tracker and a smartwatch
There is a rather significant difference between a fitness tracker and a smartwatch. While both can tell you how far you’ve run or worked out, a fitness tracker is limited on what it can display on the screen. On the other hand, a smartwatch has a much larger screen to take calls, read messages and emails, and change music through a Bluetooth connection. The built-in functions of a fitness tracker are also less than a smartwatch.
The Fitbit app is for viewing your health and fitness stats
Most of your health data can be viewed on your wrist, but it only shows you a fraction of the available information. To see an in-depth analysis of your routine, how many calories you burned and keep track of it, you must download the Fitbit app. The mobile application is available for iOS and Android phones, and it also allows you to link up with other Fitbit users in your community.
Google owns Fitbit
If you are concerned about your data and private information, it is good to know that technology giant Google owns Fitbit. In 2021, the acquisition was completed, allowing Google to incorporate its WearOS operating system into many Fitbit devices. The substantial financial backing might produce better models, but for those trying to steer clear of Big Tech as much as possible, it could be a deal-breaker.
What to look for in a quality Fitbit
Notifications and making calls
Health stats are important, but you also don’t want to miss urgent phone calls or messages. Depending on which Fitbit you get, you will have the ability to make and answer calls from your wrist. This is great, as you don’t have to take your phone out of your pocket. At a glance, you can also view social media notifications, check up on emails and read a few text messages. Typically, these features are reserved for smartwatches.
Listening and controlling music
Controlling your breathing while running or lifting weights can help you keep a rhythm, but it’s not the only thing that you want to hear. Music can be a great motivator for getting the blood flowing, but you don’t want to stop to change your tunes. A good-quality Fitbit allows you to change the music on a paired mobile phone and earbuds. Some Fitbit models also allow you to listen to offline music when you aren’t connected to the internet.
Medical features for a healthier life
The steps tracking and calorie counting are great, but the best features of a Fitbit are medical-related. Again, it depends on the model, but plenty of Fitbit devices can measure your blood oxygen saturation, skin temperature, heart rate and sleep cycle. These metrics are all critically important for a healthy life.
How much you can expect to spend on a Fitbit
The average price of a Fitbit will depend on whether it is a smartwatch or a fitness tracker. Entry-level models can retail for $100-$150, while devices with more functions and abilities retail for $200-$250.
Fitbit FAQ
Are Fitbit devices waterproof?
A. Yes, the entire range of Fitbit trackers and smartwatches are waterproof, rated for 5ATM, or 164 feet.
Some fitness trackers can measure your blood pressure — what about Fitbit?
A. There are currently no Fitbit devices that can measure your blood pressure. The only blood-related function they have is to measure your blood oxygen levels.
What’s the best Fitbit to buy?
Top Fitbit
What you need to know: This smartwatch is a popular choice for athletes and those who want to see their health status at a glance.
What you’ll love: The Versa 3 has a built-in GPS so you can easily keep track of where you are or how far you have run, hiked or biked. The Active Zone Minutes measures your heart rate to figure out your routine’s effort. It can also measure your blood oxygen levels, use virtual assistants to get quick updates on the news and use the Bluetooth connection to take phone calls.
What you should consider: The Versa 3 recently swapped over to a new band, meaning that older versions aren’t compatible or interchangeable.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top Fitbit for the money
What you need to know: This fitness tracker is much thinner than a smartwatch, making it the perfect device for someone who enjoys a smaller screen.
What you’ll love: Featuring a slim band that won’t get in the way, the Inspire features a heart rate monitor, calorie counter, and tracking of activities such as steps, distance run, and active minutes. In addition, it has a built-in sleep monitor, is waterproof and has a battery that can last for five days.
What you should consider: Some users have indicated that the Inspire can lose battery power faster than other models.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
Fitbit Sense Advanced Smartwatch
What you need to know: For all the bells and whistles, the Sense smartwatch comes very close to being a powerful personal trainer on your wrist.
What you’ll love: Including the usual trackers for hiking, running or exercising, this smartwatch comes with a built-in Electrodermal Activity scanner. This measures your body’s response to stress and keeps track of your skin temperature. It also has a heart scanner for atrial fibrillation, which alerts you to low or high heart rates. The Sense comes with a built-in GPS and a rechargeable battery that lasts for six days. Additionally, it is compatible with virtual assistants.
What you should consider: It is a bit more expensive than most Fitbit models, but it is still great value for what you get.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate will take up legislation Thursday to end normal trade relations with Russia and to ban the importation of its oil, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Wednesday.
Both bills have been bogged down in the Senate, frustrating lawmakers who want to ratchet up the U.S. response as the Ukraine war enters a gruesome new phase.
“It's a big, big deal that we are finally getting them done," Schumer said. “Now, I wish this could have happened sooner, but after weeks of talks with the other side, it's important that we have found a path forward."
It’s been three weeks since the House passed the trade suspension measure that paves the way for President Joe Biden to enact higher tariffs on certain Russian imports. At the time, the legislation was billed as sending a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his allies about the economic isolation Russia will face for invading Ukraine.
The House vote in mid-March came one day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Congress in a virtual speech that “new packages of sanctions are needed constantly every week until the Russian military machine stops."
“They cannot just go kill a bunch of people, destroy cities, kill women and children, and then go back and have business as usual,” Ukrainian-born U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz, a Republican from Indiana, said as the trade bill was debated in the House.
Reports of civilians being tortured and killed in Ukraine, with streets on the outskirts of Kyiv being strewn with corpses, had some lawmakers this week questioning why the Senate had not yet taken action on the bill.
“What I’m telling the senators is that all this foot-dragging in the face of the atrocities that everybody saw this weekend is just really beyond imagination," said Sen. Ron Wyden, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
House lawmakers concurred.
“It sends a message of weakness," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, on the Senate's inaction. “It seemed like a pretty bipartisan, easy thing to do, just like not importing Russia energy, so it's disappointing."
There is overwhelming support for suspending preferential trade treatment for Russia. But Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has objected to speedy consideration of the bill over concerns that its language on who can be sanctioned for human rights abuses is too broad, leaving it ripe for abuse. He blocked a request for a voice vote on the bill, which requires consent from all 100 senators. Schumer opted to let senators work it out rather than chew up floor time to overcome the filibuster.
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said, practically speaking, the impact of the delay on the trade bill is minimal “because there's virtually no trade right now coming in from Russia." Still, he said passage is important.
“Messaging is important here and showing action is important," Cardin said. “You've got the Ukrainians on the battlefield every day. The least we can do is get these bills passed."
Sen. John Thune, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, said the delay in the Senate was hard to explain. But he placed the onus on Schumer.
“I think part of it really is just having leadership in the Senate that is going to manage the floor and is willing to do what it takes to get this thing done," Thune said. “If this had been a priority, I think it would have been done."
Democrats counter that going the route Thune suggested requires dedicating precious floor time for a bill that passed 424-8 in the House.
Rep. Kevin Brady, the ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over trade, said it was important for Schumer to get senators together and get the bill passed.
“We've been watching these atrocities. America needs to weigh in now and stop funding the war," Brady said. “President Zelenskyy asked a month ago for this and here we are — still fussing around."
The House also passed the oil ban about a month ago. The bill would codify restrictions on Russian oil that Biden has already put in place through executive action.
Schumer said Putin needed to be held accountable for what he said were war crimes against Ukraine. He also said Putin was guilty of genocide.
“Formally revoking normal trade relations with Russia is precisely the right thing for the Senate to do because it will land another huge blow to Putin's economy," Schumer said. “It's a key part of any strategy for holding Putin accountable for his savage attacks on innocent civilians."

In 1915, jazz singer-songwriter Billie Holiday, also known as “Lady Day,” was born in Philadelphia.
In 1922, the Teapot Dome scandal had its beginnings as Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall signed a secret deal to lease U.S. Navy petroleum reserves in Wyoming and California to his friends, oilmen Harry F. Sinclair and Edward L. Doheny, in exchange for cash gifts.
In 1945, during World War II, American planes intercepted and effectively destroyed a Japanese fleet, which included the battleship Yamato, that was headed to Okinawa on a suicide mission.
In 1949, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “South Pacific” opened on Broadway.
In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower held a news conference in which he spoke of the importance of containing the spread of communism in Indochina, saying, “You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly.” (This became known as the “domino theory,” although Eisenhower did not use that term.)
In 1957, shortly after midnight, the last of New York’s electric trolleys completed its final run from Queens to Manhattan.
In 1959, a referendum in Oklahoma repealed the state’s ban on alcoholic beverages.

WASHINGTON — The Senate is expected to confirm Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday, securing her place as the first Black woman on the high court and giving President Joe Biden a bipartisan endorsement for his historic pick.
Three Republican senators have said they will support Jackson, who would replace Justice Stephen Breyer when he retires this summer. While the vote will be far from the overwhelming bipartisan confirmations for Breyer and other justices in decades past, it will still be a significant bipartisan accomplishment for Biden in the narrow 50-50 Senate after GOP senators aggressively worked to paint Jackson as too liberal and soft on crime.
“It will be a joyous day,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as he announced Thursday's vote late Wednesday evening. “Joyous for the senate, joyous for the Supreme Court, joyous for America.”
Schumer said the final vote is expected to happen around 1:45 p.m. EDT, depending on how many members wish to speak on the matter.
Jackson, a 51 year-old federal appeals court judge, would be just the third Black justice, after Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, and the sixth woman. She would join two other women, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, on the liberal side of a 6-3 conservative court. With Justice Amy Coney Barrett sitting at the other end of the bench, four of the nine justices would be women for the first time in history.
After a bruising hearing in which Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee aggressively interrogated Jackson on her sentencing record, three GOP senators came out and said they would support her. The statements from Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Utah Sen. Mitt Romney all said the same thing — they might not always agree with Jackson, but they found her to be enormously well qualified for the job.
Collins and Murkowski both decried the increasingly partisan confirmation process, which Collins called “broken” and Murkowski called “corrosive” and “more detached from reality by the year.”
Biden, a veteran of a more bipartisan Senate, said from the beginning that he wanted support from both parties for his history-making nominee, and he invited Republicans to the White House as he made his decision. It was an attempted reset from three brutal Supreme Court battles during President Donald Trump’s presidency, when Democrats vociferously opposed the nominees, and from the end of President Barack Obama’s, when Republicans blocked Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland from getting a vote.
Before the Senate Judiciary Committee last month, the Jackson said her life was shaped by her parents’ experiences with lawful racial segregation and civil rights laws that were enacted a decade before she was born.
With her parents and family sitting behind her, she told the panel that her “path was clearer” than theirs as a Black American. Jackson attended Harvard University, served as a public defender, worked at a private law firm and was appointed as a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission in addition to her nine years on the federal bench.
“I have been a judge for nearly a decade now, and I take that responsibility and my duty to be independent very seriously,” Jackson said. “I decide cases from a neutral posture. I evaluate the facts, and I interpret and apply the law to the facts of the case before me, without fear or favor, consistent with my judicial oath.”
Once sworn in, Jackson would be the second youngest member of the court after Barrett, 50. She would join a court on which no one is yet 75, the first time that has happened in nearly 30 years.
Jackson’s first term will be marked by cases involving race, both in college admissions and voting rights. She has pledged to sit out the court’s consideration of Harvard’s admissions program since she is a member of its board of overseers. But the court could split off a second case involving a challenge to the University of North Carolina’s admissions process, which might allow her to weigh in on the issue.
Republicans spent the hearings interrogating her sentencing record on the federal bench, including the sentences she handed down in child pornography cases, which they argued were too light. Jackson pushed back on the GOP narrative, declaring that “nothing could be further from the truth” and explaining her reasoning in detail. Democrats said she was in line with other judges in her decisions.
The GOP questioning in the Judiciary committee stuck for many Republicans, though, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said in a floor speech Wednesday that Jackson “never got tough once in this area.”
Democrats criticized the Republicans’ questioning.
“You could try and create a straw man here, but it does not hold,” said New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker at the committee’s vote earlier this week. The panel deadlocked on the nomination 11-11, but the Senate voted to discharge it from committee and moved ahead with her confirmation.
In an impassioned moment during the hearings last month, Booker, who is also Black, told Jackson that he felt emotional watching her testify. He said he saw “my ancestors and yours” in her image.
“But don’t worry, my sister,” Booker said. “Don’t worry. God has got you. And how do I know that? Because you’re here, and I know what it’s taken for you to sit in that seat.”

550-day celebration planned in honour of Thomas Wolsey
- Credit: Warren Page
Cardinal Thomas Wolsey has been known for centuries as the most famous son of Ipswich - and now a year and a half of celebrations are being planned to mark the 550th anniversary of his birth.
Scholars have pored over his role in Henry VIII's divorce negotiations with the Pope in the late 1520s - but his early life in Ipswich is not so well known and the anniversary celebrations starting in March next year are aimed at shining a light on his whole life.
Wolsey 550 is designed as an 18-month festival, running for 550 days to highlight his role in England and in Ipswich itself.
The event is being run by Ipswich Central and board member Terry Hunt is chairing the Wolsey 550 Project.
He said: "There is some confusion over his early life - even his date of birth with people saying it might be 1472 or 1473 but this is the year that most seem to agree on.
"Whatever the date, Wolsey had an unbelievable rise for someone at that time - he was not a noble but he rose to become the most powerful person in the kingdom after the king himself.
"He is described as the son of a butcher. I don't think his father was a butcher as we would know it, he was more important than that - but he wasn't an aristocrat and that makes Wolsey's story of rising to the top so compelling."

Wolsey 550 is applying for Heritage Lottery Fund support for its events which will be aimed at all sectors of society.
Terry Hunt added: "Wolsey’s story has so much importance, not just for Ipswich but to the country as a whole and the world beyond.
"This project will unearth his story which is about ambition, aspiration, the importance of education and the ability of anyone to succeed if they are given the right opportunities.
"An important aspect is that Wolsey was proud of his roots in Ipswich and this initiative can do a great deal for restoring civic pride.”
The project has already attracted widespread support across the town.
Ipswich MP Tom Hunt said: “I applaud the vision that is being developed to mark the 550th anniversary of Cardinal Wolsey. Let's harness the legacy of Wolsey to benefit our town today. There is clearly the possibility of doing this across a number of different areas.
“I met with Terry Hunt and Paul Clement this week to discuss their vision for what could be done to mark the occasion and I was very excited by what I heard. There is great potential in what they’re working towards and they have my full support.
“At its best, the 550th anniversary of Cardinal Wolsey could boost pride in our past whilst at the same time aiding us in addressing some of the town’s present day challenges."
James Fairclough, director at Ipswich Borough Council said: “We are pleased to be working with our partners to mark the 550th anniversary of Cardinal Wolsey’s birth.
"We hope to help secure lottery funding to enable a series of events and activities to be held in 2023 and 2024 that will help boost awareness of Ipswich’s central role in English history, provide activities for local people and visitors and bring economic benefit to the town.”
Wolsey is thought to have been born in a townhouse at the junction of St Peters St and St Nicholas St where Ensors' offices are currently. He is thought to have been baptised in St Nicholas Church.
But it is St Peter's Church near the entrance to the Waterfront that is perhaps most closely associated with him - he sequestered this church to become the chapel of the new college he was building although that was never completed before his fall in 1529-30.
The organisers have submitted an expression of interest in getting HLF funding for the 18-months of events - and depending on how much is awarded will then draw up detailed plans.
However they are determined everyone in the town should feel involved, especially children because Wolsey saw education as vital for everyone.
If the 18-month festival is as successful as they hope they will then apply for further HLF support to develop a permanent Wolsey heritage trail and centre in the Waterfront and Saints area of the town.
This would include turning the land between the last silo on the Waterfront and the Novotel roundabout into a large green area to provide an attractive entrance to the Waterfront. This would also allow people to see Wolsey's Gate better.
And there are hopes of creating a viewing platform on the top of the silo from where visitors could use a tablet to see a virtual image of Wolsey's College.
At that point there would also be the chance to look for a site for a Thomas Wolsey Heritage Centre which could put the area on the map in a similar way to how the discovery of Richard III's body stimulated tourist interest in Leicester a decade ago.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — The young woman from Myanmar and her family now live amid the tall grasses of a riverbank on the Thai border, trapped between a country that does not want them and a country whose military could kill them.
Like thousands of others fleeing mounting violence after a military takeover in Myanmar last February, Hay left her village for neighboring Thailand in search of a safe haven that does not exist. Returning to Myanmar would place her and her family at risk of death. And yet that is precisely what Thai authorities — wary of jeopardizing their relationship with Myanmar’s ruling military — tell them to do at least once a week, she says.
“When they told us to go back, we cried and explained why we can’t go back home,” says Hay, who lives in a flimsy tent on the Moei River, which divides the two countries. The Associated Press is withholding Hay’s full name, along with the full names of other refugees in this story, to protect them from retaliation by authorities. “Sometimes we cross back to the Myanmar side of the river. But I have not returned to the village at all.”
Though international refugee laws forbid the return of people to countries where their lives may be in danger, Thailand has nonetheless sent thousands of people who fled violence by Myanmar’s military back home, according to interviews with refugees, aid groups and Thai authorities themselves. That has left Hay and other Myanmar refugees ricocheting between both sides of the river as the fighting in their home villages rages and briefly recedes.
“It is this game of ping-pong,” says Sally Thompson, executive director of The Border Consortium, which provides aid to Myanmar refugees in Thailand. “You can’t keep going back and forth across the border. You’ve got to be somewhere where it’s stable….And there is absolutely no stability in Myanmar at the moment.”
Since its takeover last year, Myanmar’s military has killed more than 1,700 people, arrested over 13,000 and systematically tortured children, women and men.
Thailand, which is not a signatory to the United Nations Refugee Convention, insists Myanmar’s refugees return home voluntarily. Thailand also insists it has complied with international non-refoulement laws, which dictate that people must not be returned to a country where they would face torture, punishment or harm.
“As the situation on the Myanmar side of the border improved, the Thai authorities facilitated their voluntary return to the Myanmar side,” says Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Tanee Sangrat. “Thailand remains committed and will continue to uphold its long-held humanitarian tradition, including the principle of non-refoulement, in assisting those in need.”
Somchai Kitcharoenrungroj, governor of Thailand’s Tak province, where thousands of people from Myanmar have sought refuge, said many crossed illegally when there was no fighting.
“We had to send them back as the laws said,” Kitcharoenrungroj says. “When they faced the threats and crossed here, we never refused to help them.”
According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Thai government sources estimate around 17,000 Myanmar refugees have sought safety in Thailand since the takeover. But only around 2,000 are currently living in Thailand, said the Thai-Myanmar Border Command Center.
Most of those fleeing clashes between the military and ethnic minority armed groups along the border must wade across the rivers dividing the two countries, belongings and babies balanced atop their shoulders. They are then relegated to living in crowded cattle sheds or rickety tents made of tarpaulin and bamboo.
The moment there is a pause in fighting, refugees and aid groups say, Thai authorities send them back, despite Myanmar’s military taking over villages, burning homes and setting land mines.
“I have seen some of them being forced to get in a car, get off at the river, and cross over to the other side,” says Phoe Thingyan, secretary of Thai aid group the Overseas Irrawaddy Association.
In Myanmar’s border regions, ethnic minority armed groups have been fighting the central government for decades in a bid for greater autonomy, with more clashes after the military takeover. Despite some pauses, witnesses say the fighting there is now the worst it’s been in decades. At times, the gunfire, bombing and fighter jets have been audible from Thailand.
Life along the river is grim and frightening.
“It is not far from the war zone,” says Naw Htoo Htoo, of the ethnic Karen Human Rights Group. “The elderly and children are not comfortable in the makeshift tents….There are illnesses not only caused by the weather, but also by COVID-19.”
On the Thai side of the river, Hay’s tent offers virtually no protection from the sweltering sun, mosquitoes and drenching rains. Food and other supplies are scarce, yet the Thai authorities have refused to allow international aid groups access to the refugees.
The Thai military doesn’t even want to acknowledge the existence of Myanmar refugees in Thailand because that alone could upset Myanmar’s military leaders, says Patrick Phongsathorn, human rights specialist with the Asia-based group Fortify Rights.
“The Thai military is intent on controlling the situation, controlling the narrative, because obviously they have political skin in the game, in what’s happening in Myanmar,” he says. “They are very close with the Myanmar junta authorities.”
Kitcharoenrungroj, the Thai governor, seemed to hint at this: “When the fighting stopped, they had to go back,” he said of the refugees Thailand returned. “Otherwise, it could be a sensitive issue for the relationship between both countries.”
The Thai military declined to comment.
Win, a 23-year-old chemistry student who lives on the Myanmar side of the river, now regularly wades through chest-deep water to retrieve food from the Thai side. Then he wades back to his campsite in Myanmar, where he lives alongside around 300 other refugees.
They are surviving, but only just. What he wants more than anything, he says, is the one thing he cannot have.
“I just want to go home,” he says. “I do not want anything else.”

Manitoba investing $15M to improve long-term care, implement Stevenson Review recommendations
As part of the 2022 budget, the Government of Manitoba is investing more than $15 million to strengthen and enhance its long-term care system.
Premier Heather Stefanson and Long-Term Care Minister Scott Johnston made the pre-budget announcement on Wednesday, saying the initial funding will be used to implement the 17 recommendations in the Stevenson Review – an external independent report following a COVID-19 outbreak at the Maples Long-Term Care Home.
“We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our seniors more than anyone else and tragically we saw those impacts in our long-term care homes, where systemic issues contributed to some seniors losing their lives,” the premier said at a news conference on Wednesday at the Manitoba Legislative Building.
The money will be used to enhance infection prevention and control; support more than 200-full-time equivalent housekeeping staff and the first phase of allied health staffing; and improve information and communication technology.
Manitoba noted that more than $260,000 in additional funding will go to increasing capacity for quality and standards officers, as well as Protection for Persons in Care Office capacity. This will help to support the integration of personal care homes within the broader health system by establishing a liaison to guide stakeholders in developing a better system of communication, planning and collaboration.
Kathy McPhail, who is on the steering committee to ensure the Stevenson recommendations are adopted, said what is so notable about Wednesday’s announcement is that there has never been dedicated infection prevention and control in personal care homes in Manitoba.
“The key piece in this is that there will be dedicated, on-site personal care home infection control practitioners,” she said.
McPhail described this as a “truly red letter day.”
She noted Wednesday’s announcement reflects the monetary aspects of the recommendations in the Stevenson Review.
“A number of the recommendations, of those 17 recommendations, were non-monetary recommendations and there has been extensive work around those and implementation of the majority of those,” she said. “Some are very close to completion and just need the last round of review.”
The Stevenson Review focuses on four themes: resident safety, staffing complements, infectious disease and pandemic preparedness, and communication with families and staff.
In a statement, the Long-Term and Continuing Care Association of Manitoba said it welcomes the initial $15 million investment. The organization looks forward to the implementation of the 17 recommendations in the Stevenson report.
“COVID-19 has shone a light on the challenges in Long Term and Continuing Care,” the statement said.
“I hope we will continue to invest to ensure that we are well prepared for whatever the future holds for Seniors’ Care in MB. Time is of the essence.”

Jill Biden’s Secret Service detail is infiltrated by two FAKE Homeland Security agents who showered security personnel with gifts including a $2,000 assault rifle and penthouse, with four staffers now suspended
- Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 36, were taken into custody on Wednesday for allegedly posing as fake Homeland Security officers
- The goal was apparently to ingratiate themselves with the Secret Service, though it is unclear what they had hoped to gain from that
- Since 2020, charging documents allege, they supplied Secret Service agents with rent-free luxury apartments, high-end electronics and policing equipment
- In one instance, Taherzadeh even allegedly offered a member of First Lady Jill Biden's security detail with a $2,000 assault rifle
- And in another, they supplied an agent with a penthouse apartment valued at more than $40,000 a year
- Four members of the Secret Service have now been placed on leave as the investigation continues
The United States Secret Service has reportedly been infiltrated by two men who posed as Homeland Security agents and showered security personnel - including one who worked on the first lady's security detail - with lavish gifts.
Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 36, were taken into custody as more than a dozen FBI agents charged into a luxury apartment building in Southeast Washington on Wednesday evening.
Photos posted to social media Wednesday night showed FBI crews moving boxes out of their luxury apartment and even bringing in a big box truck to the scene.
Taherzadeh and Ali are accused of posing as members of a fake Department of Homeland Security taskforce investigating gang violence and the January 6 Capitol riot to ingratiate themselves with Secret Service agents, who they supplied with rent-free luxury apartments, high-end electronics and policing equipment.
In one instance, Taherzadeh even allegedly offered a member of First Lady Jill Biden's security detail with a $2,000 assault rifle, as he and Ali also reportedly supplied an agent with a penthouse apartment valued at more than $40,000 a year.
It is unclear what they had hoped to gain from the ruse, and prosecutors say the investigation is ongoing, even as four members of the Secret Service - including the one from the first lady's security detail - have been placed on leave.
In the meantime, Taherzadeh and Ali are being detained and are scheduled to appear in the US District Court in DC on Thursday.
They are charged with impersonating federal law enforcement and obtaining handguns, rifles and other materials to pose as Department of Homeland Security officers.
Arian Taherzadeh, 40, left and right, was one of two men arrested Wednesday for allegedly impersonating Department of Homeland Security officers to infiltrate the Secret Service. He and Haider Ali, 36, allegedly showered the Secret Service officers with gifts
The two suspects also reportedly set up surveillance throughout their apartment building, which is home to many who work for the FBI, Secret Service, Department of Defense and the Navy
One of the Secret Service agents accused of getting gifts from Taherzdeh and Ali worked on First Lady Jill Biden's security detail. That agent, as well as three others, has been placed on leave as an investigation continues. First Lady Jill Biden is pictured here speaking during a commissioning ceremony on April 2
Federal prosecutors claim that Taherzadeh and Ali began posing as Department of Homeland Security officers back in February 2020.
Since then, the two were seen flashing official-looking DHS ID cards and carried Glocks.
At the same time, they began loaning out iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a flat screen television, a generator, a gun case and other policing tools, according to an FBI affidavit filed in the US District Court in DC.
At one point, Taherzadeh even allegedly offered a member of First Lady Jill Biden's security detail a $2,000 assault rifle and loaned out his SUV equipped with emergency light - which he claimed was his 'government vehicle' to the agent's wife, according to the Daily Beast.
In another instance, the suspects allegedly supplied an agent with a penthouse apartment that was rented our for more than $40,000 a year - a tab they claimed was paid for by the Department of Homeland Security.
The duo is also accused of conning an unnamed 'applicant' to join their Homeland Security task force they had invented.
The recruitment process, according to the Daily Beast, included shooting the applicant with an airsoft rifle, supposedly to evaluate their pain tolerance, and have the applicant researching an unnamed person who worked as a contractor for the Department of Defense and the intelligence community.
FBI personnel were seen entering the Crossings Apartments in southeast DC on Wednesday
Federal officials entered Taherzadeh's apartment and began combing through his belongings
Their scam finally started to unravel on March 14, when the U.S. Postal Inspection Service began investigating an assault on a mail carrier at the Crossings Apartments in southeast DC - where Taherzadeh and Ali live along with many who work for the FBI, Secret Service, Department of Defense and the Navy.
Residents of the building told the inspector that Ali and Taherzadeh had identified themselves as DHS investigation special agents who may have witnessed the assault, the Washington Post reports.
Others also reported that Taherzadeh and Ali used several apartments in the building, claiming DHS paid the rent, and used an SUV equipped with emergency lights they identified as 'their official DHS vehicle.'
And when the investigator spoke to the two men, they once again claimed they were 'special police' officers involved in undercover gang-related investigations and probes related to the January 6 Capitol riot.
But later, the FBI indictment says, the investigator learned that the men were in contact with several members of the Secret Service, and provided gifts to them and their families.
It is unclear what tipped the investigator off, but he passed the information along to the DHS’s Inspector General, which triggered an FBI investigation.
In the aftermath, the Washington Post reports, witnesses reported that they saw 'a significant amount of law enforcement paraphernalia, including SWAT vests, a large safe, computers, a high-powered telescope and internal surveillance cameras' in Taherzadeh's apartment.
They also claimed the fake feds set up surveillance in the building, and told other residents they could access their cellphones and personal information at any time.

ANDRIIVKA, Kyiv Oblast — Ukraine braced for a climactic battle for control of the besieged country's industrial east, as Russian forces withdrew from the shattered outskirts of Kyiv to regroup and intensify their offensive across the Donbas region, where authorities urged people to evacuate before time runs out.
The mayor of the southern port city of Mariupol said Wednesday that more than 5,000 civilians had been killed there. Meanwhile, in areas north of the capital, Ukrainian officials gathered evidence of Russian atrocities amid telltale signs that Moscow’s troops killed people indiscriminately before retreating over the past several days.
In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the Russian military continued to build up its forces in preparation for a new offensive in the east, where the Kremlin has said its goal is to “liberate” the Donbas, Ukraine’s mostly Russian-speaking industrial heartland. But he said Ukraine, too, was preparing for battle.
“We will fight and we will not retreat,” he said. “We will seek all possible options to defend ourselves until Russia begins to seriously seek peace. This is our land. This is our future. And we won’t give them up.”
Ukrainian authorities urged people living in the Donbas to evacuate immediately.
“Later, people will come under fire,” Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said, “and we won’t be able to do anything to help them.”
A U.S. defense official speaking on condition of anonymity said Russia had completed the pullout of all of its estimated 24,000 or more troops from the Kyiv and Chernihiv areas in the north, sending them into Belarus or Russia to resupply and reorganize, probably to return to the fight in the east.
But a Western official, also speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence estimates, said it will take Russia’s battle-damaged forces as much as a month to regroup for a major push on eastern Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and its Western allies moved to impose new sanctions against the Kremlin over what they branded as war crimes.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boichenko said that of the more than 5,000 civilians killed during weeks of Russian bombardment and street fighting, 210 were children. He said Russian forces bombed hospitals, including one where 50 people burned to death.
Boichenko said more than 90% of the city’s infrastructure has been destroyed. The attacks on the strategic city on the Sea of Azov have cut off food, water, fuel and medicine and pulverized homes and businesses.
British defense officials said 160,000 people remained trapped in the city, which had a prewar population of 430,000. A humanitarian relief convoy accompanied by the Red Cross has been trying for days without success to get into the city.
Capturing Mariupol would allow Russia to secure a continuous land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow seized from Ukraine in 2014.
In the north, Ukrainian authorities said the bodies of least 410 civilians have been found in towns around Kyiv, victims of what Zelenskyy has portrayed as a Russian campaign of murder, rape, dismemberment and torture. Some victims had apparently been shot at close range. Some were found with their hands bound.
In his address Wednesday night, Zelenskyy accused Russia of interfering with an international investigation into possible war crimes by removing corpses and trying to hide other evidence in Bucha, northeast of Kyiv.
“We have information that the Russian troops have changed tactics and are trying to remove the dead people, the dead Ukrainians, from the streets and cellars of territory they occupied,” he said. “This is only an attempt to hide the evidence and nothing more.”
Switching from Ukrainian to Russian, Zelenskyy urged ordinary Russians “to somehow confront the Russian repressive machine” instead of being “equated with the Nazis for the rest of your life.”
He called on Russians to demand an end to the war, “if you have even a little shame about what the Russian military is doing in Ukraine.”
In reaction to the alleged atrocities outside Kyiv, the U.S. announced sanctions against Putin's two adult daughters and said it is toughening penalties against Russian banks. Britain banned investment in Russia and pledged to end its dependence on Russian coal and oil by the end of the year.
The U.S. Senate planned to take up legislation Thursday to end normal trade relations with Russia and to codify President Joe Biden’s executive action banning the importation of Russian oil. The trade suspension would allow Biden to enact higher tariffs on certain Russian imports.
The European Union is also expected to take additional punitive measures, including an embargo on coal.
The Kremlin has insisted its troops have committed no war crimes, charging that the images out of Bucha were staged by the Ukrainians.
More bodies were yet to be collected in Bucha. The Associated Press saw two in a house in a silent neighborhood. From time to time there was the muffled boom of workers clearing the town of mines and other unexploded ordnance.
Workers at a cemetery began to load more than 60 bodies into a grocery shipping truck for transport to a facility for further investigation.
Police said they found at least 20 bodies in the Makariv area west of Kyiv. In the village of Andriivka, residents said the Russians arrived in early March and took locals’ phones. Some people were detained, then released. Others met unknown fates. Some described sheltering for weeks in cellars normally used for storing vegetables.
“First we were scared, now we are hysterical,” said Valentyna Klymenko, 64. She said she, her husband and two neighbors weathered the siege by sleeping on stacks of potatoes covered with a mattress and blankets. “We didn’t cry at first. Now we are crying.”
To the north of the village, in the town of Borodyanka, rescue workers searched through the rubble of apartment blocks, looking for bodies.
Thwarted in their efforts to swiftly take the capital, increasing numbers of Putin’s troops, along with mercenaries, have been reported moving into the Donbas.
Ukrainian forces have been fighting Russia-backed separatists in the Donbas since 2014. Ahead of its Feb. 24 invasion, Moscow recognized the Luhansk and Donetsk regions as independent states.
Also Wednesday, the United States and the United Kingdom boycotted an informal meeting of the Security Council called by Russia to press its baseless claims that the U.S. has biological warfare laboratories in Ukraine. The meeting was the latest of several moves by Russia that have led Western countries to accuse Moscow of using the U.N. as a platform for disinformation to divert attention from the war.
Russia's allegations have previously been debunked. Ukraine does own and operate a network of biological labs that have received funding and research support from the U.S. and are not a secret. The labs are part of a program that aims to reduce the likelihood of deadly outbreaks, whether natural or man-made.
The U.S. efforts date back to work in the 1990s to dismantle the former Soviet Union’s program for weapons of mass destruction.

WATCH: 11-Year-Old Prince Comments On Teachers Strike
A Minneapolis TV station has discovered a clip of Prince at age 11.
Staff at CBS affiliate WCCO were going through archive footage of coverage of a 1970 teachers strike when they spotted a little boy bearing a striking resemblance to the late singer. Wearing a blue jacket, the boy was asked if students supported the teachers.
“Yup,” he replied. “I think they should get a better education too cause, um, and I think they should get some more money cause they work, they be working extra hours for us and all that stuff.”
The boy’s identity was confirmed by Prince’s former schoolmate Terrance Jackson who, WCCO reported, was “speechless and teary.”
Prince died in 2016 of an accidental fentanyl overdose.

THE Valientes begin their tough climb in the VisMin Super Cup when they tangle with the Ormoc OCCI Sheermaster on Thursday at the Zamboanga City Coliseum.
As the third-finisher in the elimination round, Zamboanga's pride needs to beat second-placer Ormoc twice to make the finals.
That would be hard to do as they've lost to the Sheermaster in their first two meetings en route to a 9-5 record.
Home comfort
The Valientes, however, are hoping the Zamboanguenos would come in droves and provide them the inspiration and motivation to stun the Ormocanons (10-3).
The other semifinal pits CPG Bohol (12-1) against MACFI-Basilan (7-6). Like Zamboanga, Basilan needs to beat Bohol twice to enter the finals.
Veteran Reed Juntilla, former MVP of the defunct PBL, and homegrown stars Jonathan Parreno, Gino Jumao-as, Jeff Bernardo and Denver Cadiz, the 5-foot-4 marvel who's easily the most popular player in the eight-team tournament.
Ormoc will be led by former NCAA Rookie MVP Gabby Espinas.
"The fans will be our sixth man," said Valientes coach Joseph Romarate. "Our back-to-back wins over ZamPen and Tubigon Mariners show that we are ready. Although we are the underdogs, we will try our best to beat OCCI."
Regardless of the outcome of their VisMin stint, sportsman Rolando Navarro Jr., representing his mother and team owner Cory Navarro, has promised the Valientes of participation in the ABL tournament set in Bali, Indonesia, starting on April 19.
According to Navarro, lower box tickets are almost sold out.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The mass killing that left six people dead and 12 wounded outside bars just blocks from California’s Capitol last weekend was a gunfight involving at least five shooters from rival gangs, Sacramento police said Wednesday.
Police said they identified at least five gunmen but there may have been more. Only two suspects — both brothers wounded by gunfire — have been arrested in connection with the shooting and, so far, only face firearms charges.
“We’re still working through … who the actual shooters are in the case,” Sgt. Zach Eaton said.
Until Wednesday’s announcement, police had been silent on what led to the shooting that erupted early Sunday as bars were letting out. Rapid-fire bursts of over 100 gunshots echoed through the streets as terrified patrons ran for their lives and others were hit by bullets.
Police said at least two gangs were involved. They declined to provide more details or name the gangs involved or the affiliation of any suspects.
Experts said that if gangs were to blame, it would mark an unusually bloody feud.
In 20 years of researching gangs in Los Angeles, Alex Alonso said he can’t remember a gang-related shooting with such a high body count.
“It’s extremely rare that a gang shooting happened as the way this one is being characterized,” Alonso said. “It’s extremely rare to have that happen in a public place with so many victims.”
Gregory Chris Brown, a criminal justice professor at California State University, Fullerton, said gangs often target rivals in drive-by shootings with fewer victims, though innocent bystanders are sometimes also struck.
The location of the Sacramento shooting – in a bustling area of watering holes near the entertainment district — was incidental to whatever fueled the fight.
“If rival gang members see each other it doesn’t matter if they’re in the Capitol of the United States of America,” Brown said. “If you see a rival gang member and you’re going to attack them, it doesn’t matter where they are.”
The large number of casualties was the result of high-capacity weapons in a crowded area, he said.
Berry Accius, founder of Voice of the Youth who leads gun intervention and prevention programs and offered his services to counsel families who lost loved ones in the shooting, criticized police for characterizing the crime as gang-related, which he said will lead some to “think Black people.”
He said people will see the photos of the Black women and men who were shot, assume they were in a gang and wonder why gang members are downtown.
“That’s the narrative we don’t need at this particular time,” Accius said. “This idea that we’re going to put blame to one demographic of folks and blame them for the violence that ensued.”
Bill Sanders, a criminologist at Cal State LA, said he wanted to see more evidence the shooting was gang-related, a term police often use to drum up support. He said gang shootings are more mundane and most occur in what are considered gang neighborhoods.
“If you looked at a map of gang homicides in the city — or any city — over time, you’d see the same areas lighting up — meaning that’s where they occur. If these guys were white, this wouldn’t be considered gang related — not even for a minute.”
Authorities credited witnesses who contributed nearly 200 videos, photos and other tips with helping the investigation.
Police were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was used in the massacre. It had been converted to a weapon capable of automatic gunfire.
They are also investigating whether a gun one of the brothers, Smiley Martin, 27, brandished in a video was used in the shooting, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official was briefed on the investigation but was not authorized to publicly discuss details and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Martin and his brother were among those wounded in the gunfire that erupted about 2 a.m. Sunday as bars closed and patrons filled the streets.
The Sacramento County coroner identified the three women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men killed were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and De’vazia Turner, 29.
Ten people were wounded in addition to the Martin brothers. At least two remained hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
Smiley Martin faces charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun. He remained hospitalized and it wasn’t clear if he had an attorney who could speak for him.
His brother, Dandrae Martin, 26, was arrested as a “related suspect” and appeared briefly Tuesday in Sacramento Superior Court on a charge of being a convict carrying a loaded gun.
He did not enter a plea and his attorney said she would wait to see if prosecutors brought more serious charges before deciding whether to seek his release.
Both men have criminal records. Smiley Martin was released from prison in February after serving about half of a 10-year prison sentence for beating a girlfriend. He was denied parole last year after prosecutors said he “clearly has little regard for human life,” documents show.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg questioned why the brothers were on the streets.
“Those questions need to be answered and they will be answered over the days ahead,” Steinberg said.
A 31-year-old man seen carrying a handgun immediately after the shooting was arrested Tuesday on a weapons charge. Police said they don’t believe his gun was used in the shooting.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Following a three-week trial, a Delaware judge began hearing closing arguments Wednesday in the Boy Scouts of America bankruptcy case.
Judge Laura Selber Silverstein must decide whether to approve a reorganization plan the BSA negotiated over the past two years. It would compensate tens of thousands of men who say they were sexually abused as children in Scouting, while allowing the Boy Scouts to continue as an ongoing enterprise.
The Boy Scouts, based in Irving, Texas, petitioned for bankruptcy protection in February 2020 in an effort to halt hundreds of individual lawsuits and create a settlement trust for abuse victims.
Although the organization faced 275 lawsuits at the time, more than 82,000 sexual abuse claims have been filed in the bankruptcy case.
The reorganization plan calls for the Boys Scouts, its 250 local councils, and certain insurance companies and troop sponsoring organizations to contribute some $2.6 billion in cash and property into a compensation fund for abuse victims.
In return for those contributions, and the assignment of insurance rights to the compensation fund, those contributing parties would be released from further liability.
The plan faces opposition from several non-settling insurance companies, as well as the U.S. bankruptcy trustee, who acts as a watchdog in Chapter 11 cases to ensure compliance with bankruptcy laws. The insurance companies contend that the procedures for distributing funds to abuse claimants would violate their rights under policies they issued and would allow payment of claims that would not win damages in civil lawsuits.
The trustee, meanwhile, has argued that the proposed liability releases for non-debtor third parties — including the local BSA councils, insurers and troop-sponsoring organizations — violate the due process rights of abuse claimants and are not authorized under the bankruptcy code.
Wednesday’s arguments did not address those issues but instead mostly involved supporters defending the plan as having been developed in “good faith,” and the trust distribution procedures as appropriate. Opponents of the plan will present counterarguments Thursday.
Attorneys for the Boy Scouts began Wednesday by acknowledging why the BSA sought bankruptcy protection and explaining the steps it has taken to improve youth protection measures.
“It’s a tragic part of the past of Scouting…. Our organization is deeply sorry,” BSA attorney Michael Andolina said of decades of child sexual abuse.
The Boys Scouts and its supporters maintain that the judge must make several specific findings for the plan to be confirmed. Among them is that the plan was proposed in good faith, and that the procedures for compensating victims provide for a fair and equitable settlement of their claims. They also are asking the judge to find that the proposed starting claim values for various types of abuse — ranging from penetration to abuse that involves no physical contact — are based on, and consistent with, the BSA’s pre-bankruptcy abuse settlements and litigation results.
But Silverstein pushed back repeatedly on plan supporters, questioning what provisions of the bankruptcy code would apply to the findings they seek. She noted that she is not being asked to approve any specific claim settlement, as is often done in bankruptcies, and suggested that the plan supporters’ arguments instead involve treatment of claims, which is a different issue with a different approval standard.
“There’s no good way to resolve 82,000 claims, … but what’s this trust supposed to do … and why do I have to find that it’s consistent, or fair, or equitable?” she asked.
Silverstein also wondered if she could reject the plan if she thought the BSA’s pre-bankruptcy history of handling abuse claims wasn’t fair or appropriate.
“I don’t know that any one of the settlements that the debtors entered into prepetition were fair,” she said. ”… I have no facts to make a finding like that.”
Under the plan, the Boys Scouts and its roughly 250 local councils would contribute up to $786 million in cash and property and assign certain insurance rights to the victims fund. The BSA’s two largest insurers, Century Indemnity Co. and The Hartford, would contribute $800 million and $787 million, respectively, while other insurers have agreed to contribute about $69 million.
The organization’s former largest troop sponsor, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the Mormon church, would contribute $250 million for abuse claims involving the church. Congregations affiliated with the United Methodist Church have agreed to contribute $30 million.
Abuse claimants also would be allowed to sue insurance companies and local troop-sponsoring organizations, such as churches and civic groups, that do not enter into settlements within one year of the reorganization plan taking effect.
As it presently stands, the compensation fund would total more than $2.6 billion, which would be the largest aggregate sexual abuse settlement in U.S. history. The average recovery per claimant, however, would be significantly less than in other settlements of sex abuse scandals involving large numbers of victims.

The U.S., European Union and Group of Seven nations are enacting new sanctions on Russia in response to the civilian toll reported in Bucha and elsewhere in Ukraine in recent days.
The U.S. sanctions target Russia's largest banks, families of top Russian officials including Russian President Vladimir Putin's adult children, state-owned entities and any new investment in Russia by U.S. nationals.
"We will document and share information on these atrocities and use all appropriate mechanisms to hold accountable those responsible," the White House said in a statement announcing the new measures.
Sanctions are being enacted on top Russian officials and family members, including Putin's adult children, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's wife and daughter, former President and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The actions of the U.S. include full blocking sanctions on Sberbank and Alfa Bank, freezing any assets "touching the U.S. financial system" and prohibiting Americans from conducting business with them.
A senior administration official briefing reporters Wednesday morning pointed out that this extends beyond assets in dollars: Russia will also be prohibited from making debt payments with funds under U.S. jurisdiction. The administration says this will force Russia "to choose between draining its available funds to make debt payments or default."
President Biden will sign an executive order to ban new investments by Americans in Russia, whether they are in or outside of the U.S. There will also be a prohibition on any American doing transactions with major Russian state-owned entities, which the Treasury Department will detail Thursday.
An energy carve-out remains with these actions. Asked about the effectiveness of sanctions to stop the war, the senior administration official said they are never a standalone solution.
The U.S. announced an additional $100 million in defense aid to Ukraine this week, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to decry the Western response to recent revelations of civilian devastation as lacking.

Singer Ed Sheeran wins ’Shape of You’ copyright dispute
LONDON
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran on April 6 won his copyright trial at London’s High Court after a judge ruled that his hit song “Shape of You” did not lift musical phrases from another track.
Judge Antony Zacaroli said that Sheeran “neither deliberately nor subconsciously” copied a phrase from British grime track, “Oh Why,” when writing the worldwide smash hit.
“Shape of You,” released in 2017, remains the most-streamed song ever on Spotify, with more than three billion streams.
It won Sheeran, 31, a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance. He, along with several others, has a writing credit on the track.
But two other songwriters, Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue, alleged that the song had musical similarities to one they wrote called “Oh Why,” performed under Chokri’s stage-name Sami Switch.
Judge Zacaroli ruled that “there are obvious similarities” between hooks in the two songs, but that there were also “important differences.”
While both hooks drew from the minor pentatonic scale, “there are countless songs in the pop, rock, folk and blues genres where the melody is drawn exclusively” from the same scale, he said.
Zacaroli also said that the two phrases “play very different roles in their respective songs.”
The claimants hook “is the central part of the song” whereas in Sheeran’s hit, it is “something catchy to fill the bar before each repeated phrase ’I’m in love with your body’.”
Sheeran attended court during the 11-day trial, bursting into song and humming musical scales and melodies as he was questioned over how the song was written.
The singer denied he “borrows” ideas from unknown songwriters and told court he “always tried to be completely fair” in crediting contributors.

EXPLAINER: After failed Kyiv blitz, Russia focuses on east
With Russian hopes for storming Kyiv and other major cities in northern Ukraine dashed by stiff resistance, Moscow has refocused its efforts on the country's east, seeking to make gains there and use them to dictate its terms in talks on ending the conflict.
The Russian troops are preparing for a massive offensive in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland known as the Donbas, and the coming weeks could determine the outcome of the war.
A look at the shift in the Russian strategy and its possible consequences.
A STALLED BLITZ
When Russian forces invaded Ukraine from the north, east and south on Feb. 24. President Vladimir Putin counted on a quick victory, similar to its 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.
The Russian troops that pushed into Ukraine from Moscow's ally Belarus quickly reached the outskirts of Kyiv, only 75 kilometers (47 miles) south of the border, but they got bogged down facing Ukrainian defenses.

After the failed attempts to storm the capital and other big cities in the north, Russian forces tried to encircle and pummel them with artillery and airstrikes. The relentless barrages led to massive civilian casualties and damaged infrastructure, but didn't weaken Ukraine's resolve. Ukrainian forces, meanwhile, successfully used artillery and drones against Russian convoys that stretched for dozens of kilometers (miles) along highways outside Kyiv. That created massive logistical problems for the Russians.
A SHIFT IN STRATEGY
On March 29, Russia announced a drastic change in strategy, saying it would scale down military activities around Kyiv and Chernihiv, focusing instead on the "liberation" of Donbas.
A quick withdrawal from areas in the north and northeast followed, with forces pulling back to Belarus and Russia for rest and resupply.
Moscow sought to put a positive spin on what Ukrainian and Western officials described as the failure of the offensive. Russia said the action in the north was intended to tie down and weaken Ukrainian forces there and prevent them from joining troops engaged in the fighting in the east.
REDEPLOYMENT AND REGROUPING
Observers said it could take Russian troops several weeks for the troops to rest, resupply and regroup before they could launch a new attack in the east.
"Many Russian units withdrawing from northern Ukraine are likely to require significant re-equipping and refurbishment before being available to redeploy for operations in eastern Ukraine," a tweet from the British Ministry of Defence said.
Some Western estimates said nearly a quarter of Russian units involved in the fighting had been rendered unfit for further action and would need long reequipment and resupply before being sent back into combat.
"They will be remanned because they have lost a lot of troops in the different units," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said. "They will be rearmed because they have used a lot of ammunition and they will be resupplied ... to launch a new big offensive."
FORTRESS EAST
The separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine, home to a mostly Russian-speaking population, began in 2014 shortly after the annexation of Crimea and has killed over 14,000 people. The fighting has tempered Ukrainian forces, which have gained ample combat experience and built multilayered defenses along the line of contact.
Those efforts paid off at the start of the Russian invasion, preventing the separatist forces and Russian troops from making any significant gains there despite far superior firepower.
From the start of the invasion, Moscow's key goal was to capture the Sea of Azov port of Mariupol to secure a coastal corridor to Crimea. Russian troops have besieged Mariupol for a month, reducing much of the city to rubble with artillery and air raids that killed thousands. So far, however, they have failed to win full control.
RUSSIAN PINCER MOVEMENT
Ukrainian and Western officials say the Russian plan is to encircle tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops in Donbas by moving from Izyum, near Kharkiv in the north, and from Mariupol in the south.
The timing for the offensive depends on how quickly the Russians wrap up the battle for Mariupol and free those forces for the offensive. It also will depend on how much time is needed to resupply and regroup the troops that were pulled back from Kyiv and other areas in the north.
The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said in an analysis that the Russian troops will likely try to advance from Izyum to capture the strategic city of Slovyansk and link up with other Russian forces in Donbas in what it said "will likely prove to be the next pivotal battle of the war in Ukraine."
Stoltenberg warned that such an eastward shift by Russia marks a "crucial phase of the war," saying a further push in eastern and southern Ukraine is expected "to try to take the entire Donbas and to create a land bridge to occupied Crimea."
MOSCOW'S VULNERABILITIES
During an eastern offensive, Russian forces will face the same problems that hampered their attack in the north.
Maintaining supply lines over long distances under constant Ukrainian attacks was a key challenge that eventually doomed the blitz on Kyiv and forced Moscow's retreat. Such an operation in the east could prove just as hard.
The lack of proper cohesion among different forces, the failure to fully suppress Ukrainian air defenses, and the growing popular resistance to the invasion would likely make it difficult for quick Russian gains in the east. As they seek to encircle Ukrainian troops in Donbas, Russian forces could also face attacks on their flanks.
CONDITIONS FOR PEACE
A military success in the east could offer Putin a face-saving exit from the conflict, allowing him to claim that Moscow's main goals were fulfilled. He could argue that Russia has destroyed the bulk of the Ukrainian military, liquidated the "neo-Nazi nationalist" forces and "liberated" Donbas.
Putin´s conditions for peace, however, include a demand for Ukraine to acknowledge Russia´s sovereignty over Crimea and to recognize the independence of the eastern separatists regions, something that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected. Zelenskyy said the issues of Crimea and Donbas could be put on hold, but Moscow wants to make them part of a deal now.
TIME AS A FACTOR
Putin badly needs a quick success in the east to find a way out of the conflict that increasingly looks like a quagmire for Moscow. Time is working against Russia, with each day of war worsening the massive economic damage from Western sanctions and draining its limited resources.
A protracted conflict could force the Kremlin to broadly engage the use of poorly trained conscripts, something it has tried to avoid, claiming that it relies squarely on volunteer soldiers. Sending fresh draftees into battle would be highly unpopular and likely fuel public discontent.
Putin's goal of freeing Ukraine from purported "neo-Nazis" has led some observers to predict that he hopes for quick gains in the east so he can announce a successful end to the campaign by May 9. That's when Russia celebrates its victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, its most important public holiday.

Opinion
Is it time for Jack Riewoldt to follow the Richo model?
Wayne Carey
Two-time AFL premiership captainAfter a meeting with Terry Wallace in early 2008, Matthew Richardson thought his career was just about over. Wallace, then the coach of Richmond, told “Richo” he wanted him to play on a wing to help fast-track the development of a young forward who was showing a bit of promise.
That young forward was Jack Riewoldt.
Richo has said previously he wasn’t all that thrilled with the idea initially, but the alternative was being banished to Coburg.
Remarkably, by the end of that season, Richo had his third All-Australian jumper and almost won the Brownlow Medal. He was the overwhelming sentimental favourite on a rowdy Brownlow night, and only finished two votes behind winner Adam Cooney.
Richo’s incredible athleticism meant he could roam up and down the wing, with enough in the tank to push forward and still kick goals. Now with the Tigers at a new crossroads, could Damien Hardwick go to the same playbook?
In round one, Richmond looked top heavy against the Blues, playing Noah Balta up forward alongside Riewoldt and Tom Lynch, as well as ruckmen Toby Nankervis and Ivan Soldo. It’s an intriguing evolution considering Riewoldt played as the lone tall forward in that 2017 premiership year.
Back then he had the pressure of Dan Butler, Jason Castagna and Daniel Rioli at his feet – and more recently Jack Higgins also played that role. But now Higgins and Butler are gone and Rioli is playing back. Clearly having the three talls contributed to that un-Richmond-like stat of one forward-50 tackle for the entire game against Carlton.
Since then, Riewoldt hasn’t played due to a thumb injury, ensuring Balta has stayed forward and in the short time he’s played there he’s shown he’s worth persisting with. He’s what I’d describe as an old-fashioned centre half-forward. He’ll fly at anything, has a competitiveness to bring the ball to ground and is a good kick. While Balta still needs to work on his forward craft and work out other ways to win the footy, the potential is there and his coach can obviously see it.
But with Riewoldt’s return this weekend, Hardwick’s call to play the three talls in the same forward line this week against the Dogs, as he indicated he would at his press conference on Thursday, is an interesting one. West Coast is about the only team to buck the trend and make it work in recent years. There’s an element of robbing Peter to pay Paul with what you get in terms of marking power, versus losing that trademark pressure.
So how sustainable is that three-pronged attack? The Balta question is probably answered by where the Tigers think they’re at.
By recruiting Robbie Tarrant from North Melbourne, they clearly believed they were still in a premiership window. But at the same time, by heading to the draft as they did, there was also an awareness this will soon be a team in transition, or at the very least one needing regeneration.
It’s probably difficult to say whether the dynasty is over just yet, because there are so many key cogs missing from the Tiger machine. When Alex Rance went down, some questioned whether that was the end, but Dylan Grimes quickly became one of Hardwick’s most important players. He could and still can lock down and intercept.
Last week against the Saints we saw how much his absence is felt, when Max King booted a match-winning four goals after Grimes went off injured. When you add the retirement of David Astbury, who was a solid citizen, and injury to Nick Vlastuin, the Tigers really have been decimated.
Clearly Dustin Martin is another one of those cogs. Players of “Dusty’s” ilk are impossible to replace. But, right now, the Tigers’ problems run much deeper than lacking a few defenders or Dusty. Their entire team defence is breaking down.
Almost as important as Martin, in my eyes, has been the loss of Kane Lambert, who is out indefinitely with a hip injury. Lambert has been a selfless, two-way runner who has allowed guys like Dusty or Shai Bolton to focus on the attacking side of their game. Martin and Bolton can take a game away from you, but pressure is not necessarily their strength and that’s where Lambert played his role to perfection.
Without those cogs, judging the three talls is more difficult.
We’ve only had one game to see whether Riewoldt, Balta and Lynch can work together. If it doesn’t work again on Saturday night, Hardwick has a few options.
As long as Riewoldt is fit, is Balta made to bide his time continuing to play as a swing man or as a second ruckman? Or, as I’ve mentioned, if Balta is the future, can Jack play further up the ground?
In the past five years or so, we’ve seen Jack’s willingness to put the team first by transforming his game from simply kicking goals to providing for those around him. He might not have Richo’s running power, but he’s got more than enough footy smarts and experience to cope with another new role.
Already there’s been one Riewoldt who followed the Richo model – Jack’s cousin Nick finished his career in similar fashion on a wing. Is it now time for another?

Armagh City enjoys sunniest March since records began
By Barra Best
BBC News NI Weather Presenter
- Published
Armagh City enjoyed its sunniest March since sunshine records began at the Armagh Observatory in 1880.
There were just over 188 hours of sunshine recorded at the site during the month.
That is 85% more sunshine than is normally seen when compared to the average over the past 140 years.
The figure shatters a 128-year-old record at the site after 175 hours of sunshine were recorded in March 1894.
It was also the sunniest March on record across Northern Ireland, with Met Office records going back to 1919.
The sunniest day at the site was on 31 March with 11.6 hours of strong sunshine.
That was also the sunniest March day in Armagh for 78 years - since 1944.
The two sunnier March days are on 29 March 1892 and 29 March 1910, both with 11.7 hours of sunshine.
It was also the driest March at Armagh for 10 years, and the warmest since 2017.

US experts discuss COVID boosters for the fall and beyond
A panel of U.S. vaccine experts was meeting Wednesday to discuss key questions for future COVID-19 booster campaigns. The Food and Drug Administration's vaccine advisers won't make any binding decisions, but they could help shape the government's approach for years to come.
Washington - While many Americans are trying to move on with their lives after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. health officials are debating the best way to use vaccines to stay ahead of the coronavirus.
A panel of U.S. vaccine experts was meeting Wednesday to discuss key questions for future COVID-19 booster campaigns. The Food and Drug Administration's vaccine advisers won't make any binding decisions, but they could help shape the government's approach for years to come.
FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks told reporters last week that it wouldn't be surprising if the agency authorized another booster dose in the fall to protect most Americans against the latest coronavirus mutations. He opened Wednesday's meeting by cautioning that waning vaccine protection, new variants and colder weather later this year could raise the risk of more surges.
"All that taken together makes us conclude that a general discussion of booster vaccination against COVID-19 is warranted at this time so that we can potentially intervene," Marks said.
Some of the key questions for the panel:
HOW SHOULD THE U.S. DECIDE WHEN TO LAUNCH FUTURE ROUNDS OF BOOSTER SHOTS? WHO SHOULD GET THEM?
The panel heard presentations from government health officials and independent researchers that underscored the challenges of predicting what the virus will do.
Trevor Bedford, a disease modeler with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, said a major new strain like omicron could emerge anywhere from every 1.5 years to once a decade, based on currently available data. Given that unpredictability, researchers will need methods to quickly determine whether current vaccines work against emerging variants.
Last week, the FDA authorized an extra Pfizer or Moderna shot for anyone 50 or older and for some younger people with severely weakened immune systems. It's an effort to get ahead of another possible surge.
Only about half of Americans eligible for a third shot have gotten one. And some independent experts disagree about the need for even that additional protection in healthy individuals, due to limited evidence of the benefit or how long it might last.
The FDA has based many booster decisions on data from the Israeli government, which began offering a fourth dose to people 60 and older in January.
Early data on that effort published this week showed that the fourth dose significantly lowered rates of severe disease. But protection against any infection faded fast, with little evidence of a benefit for people who received a fourth dose after several weeks.
The last U.S. wave was driven by the omicron variant. During that surge, two vaccine doses were nearly 80% effective against needing a breathing machine or death - and a booster pushed that protection to 94%, federal scientists have reported.
COVID-19 cases have dropped to low levels in the U.S., but health officials are warily watching an omicron sibling that now accounts for most cases.
WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR UPDATING VACCINES TO ADDRESS NEW VARIANTS?
All the COVID-19 vaccines now used in the U.S. are based on the original coronavirus version that emerged in late 2019. Updating the vaccines will be a complex task, requiring coordination between the FDA, manufacturers and global health authorities.
In response to panel questions, a representative for the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority laid out the narrow window that manufacturers would face to reformulate, study and mass produce an updated vaccine by September.
"If you're not on your way to a clinical trial by the beginning of May I think it's going to be very difficult to have enough product across manufacturers to meet demand," said Robert Johnson, deputy assistant secretary of BARDA.
The timeline for updating annual flu vaccines offers one possible model, and the FDA panel was expected to discuss the strengths and weakness of adopting such an approach.
Twice a year, World Health Organization experts recommend updates to flu vaccines to target emerging strains. The FDA then brings those recommendations to its own vaccine panel, which votes on whether they make sense for the U.S., setting the stage for manufacturers to tweak their shots and begin mass production.
But COVID-19 hasn't yet fallen into a predictable pattern like the flu. And vaccine manufacturers will likely need more time to conduct additional studies of their COVID-19 vaccines, which don't have the same decades-long record of safety and effectiveness as flu shots.

Ronaldo bites back at 'jealous' Rooney amid criticism of Man Utd return from former team-mate
Cristiano Ronaldo has responded to questions being asked of his decision to rejoin Manchester United in the summer of 2021 by branding former team-mate Wayne Rooney, who has suggested that a move was not right for all parties, as “jealous”.
The Red Devils’ all-time leading goalscorer was a guest on Sky Sports during their coverage of Arsenal’s Premier League defeat at Crystal Palace, with the ex-England captain inevitably being asked about the presence at Old Trafford of a man that he once played alongside.
Rooney claimed that Ronaldo is “getting on a bit” and “isn’t the player he was”, with the Portuguese coming in for criticism at times this season as he struggles to provide the level of inspiration that United are crying out for, but an iconic 37-year-old continues to turn a deaf ear to his doubters.

- Barcelona's teenage wizard: 'Pedri Potter' bringing Messi-esque magic back to Camp Nou
What did Rooney say about Ronaldo?
The former United forward, who famously drew a wink from Ronaldo after being sent off for England against Portugal at the 2006 World Cup, told Sky Sports when asked if re-signing a club legend had worked out for the Red Devils: “You’d have to say no, at the minute.
“I think he’s scored goals, he’s scored important goals in the Champions League early on in the season. He scored the hat-trick against Tottenham.
“But I think if you look to the future of the club you would have to go with younger, hungry players to do the best to lift Manchester United over these next two, three years.
“And obviously Cristiano is getting on a bit. He certainly isn’t the player he was when he was in his 20s. And that happens, that’s football. He’s a goal threat but I think the rest of the game they need more, they need young, hungry players.
“I think they’ve got good young players. I think [Jadon] Sancho will be better next year, I think Marcus [Rashford] will be better next year.
“They’ve got good young players, I think Jesse Lingard should be playing for them because he brings energy, he brings quality. Scott McTominay has done well, so they have got some good young players.
“They just have to get that confidence, get them believing they are good players and perform at a better level and then obviously whoever the new manager is he’ll bring his own players in and try to rebuild that group.”
How did Ronaldo respond?
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner responded to a post from Rooney on Instagram by claiming that his former colleague is “two jealous”.
While fingers of blame have been pointed in Ronaldo’s direction this season, as questions are asked of his work rate and supposed leadership skills, he has still hit 18 goals through 32 appearances in all competitions.
He is destined to end the 2021-22 campaign empty-handed, as all avenues to major silverware have been shut off for United, but a top-four finish and Champions League qualification remains there to be shot at.
The Red Devils, who were held to a 1-1 home draw by Leicester in their last outing as Ronaldo missed out through illness, will be back in action on Saturday when taking in a trip to relegation-threatened Everton.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A Chinese coast guard ship last month maneuvered for days near a research vessel deployed by Philippine and Taiwanese scientists to undertake a crucial survey of undersea fault lines west of the northern Philippines, sparking concerns among the scientists on board, officials said Thursday.
The scientists on the R/V Legend, including five Filipinos, proceeded with their research despite the presence of the Chinese coast guard ship in the vicinity of the waters straddling the undersea Manila Trench from March 25 to March 30 off the northwestern Philippine city of Vigan in Ilocos Sur province. The Chinese coast guard’s proximity sparked concerns because the research vessel was towing a survey cable in the sea, a Filipino scientist told The Associated Press.
The ongoing offshore survey — a joint project of the National Institute of Geological Sciences at the University of the Philippines and the National Central University in Taiwan — aims to help map offshore faults and other geologic features that could set off future earthquakes, tsunamis and other potentially catastrophic hazards in the region. The monthlong research is partly funded by the Philippine Department of Science and Technology and will end on April 13.
The Chinese coast guard ship maneuvered about 2 to 3 nautical miles (3 to 5 kilometers) from the R/V Legend for several days, according to Carla Dimalanta of the National Institute of Geological Sciences.
“Its proximity to the research vessel was cause for concern especially when the research vessel was towing a streamer cable for the scientific measurements that were being done,” Dimalanta told The AP in an emailed reply to questions about the incident.
She did not say if the Chinese coast guard ship warned the research vessel that it had illegally entered Chinese territorial waters and should immediately move away, a warning China's coast guard has often issued by radio to foreign ships and vessels cruising near its outposts in the South China Sea, which Beijing claims virtually in its entirety.
China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei have been locked in an increasingly tense territorial standoff in the busy waterway for decades.
The Manila Trench, which runs off the western coast of the main northern Philippine island of Luzon in the fringes of the South China Sea has long been an area of concern because of the potential disaster it could unleash if a major earthquake and tsunami were generated in the busy waterway that borders several countries, including China, Taiwan and the Philippines.
It was not immediately known if the Philippine government has raised its concern over the Chinese coast guard’s movement near the scientific research vessel. Two Filipino officers told The AP without elaborating that the Philippine military was aware of the incident. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of a lack of authority to discuss the issue publicly.
There was no immediate comment from Chinese Embassy officials in Manila.
Late last month, the Philippine coast guard said that Chinese coast guard ships maneuvered dangerously close to its patrol ships at least four times in the vicinity of the disputed Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines over the past year. The movement of the Chinese coast guard ships increased the risk of collision and violated international safety regulations, the Philippine coast guard said then.
In one of those dangerous movements, a Chinese coast guard ship moved just 21 yards (63 feet) from a Philippine coast guard patrol vessel and restricted its maneuvering space in the vicinity of the Scarborough Shoal in a “clear violation” of a 1972 international safety regulation that aims to prevent sea collisions, said the Philippine coast guard, which reported the incidents to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila.
China’s seizure of Scarborough Shoal prompted the Philippines to bring the disputes to international arbitration. In 2016, a U.N.-backed tribunal invalidated most of China’s claims and said it has violated the rights of Filipinos to fish at the shoal.
China dismissed the ruling as a sham and continues to defy it but has allowed Filipino fishermen to return to the shoal under Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who nurtured closer ties with Beijing after taking office in 2016. Despite cozier relations, however, sporadic territorial spats have persisted.
Two weeks ago, U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander Adm. John C. Aquilino told The AP on board a U.S. Navy reconnaissance aircraft that China has fully militarized three of the seven islands it built in the disputed Spratlys archipelago in the South China Sea, arming them with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile systems, laser and jamming equipment and military aircraft in an increasingly aggressive move that threatens all nations operating in the disputed waters.
China responded by saying that its deployment of “necessary national defense facilities on its own territory is a right entitled to every sovereign country and is in line with international law, which is beyond reproach.”

PORTLAND, Oregon — On Wednesday, a group of Harriet Tubman Middle School students staged a walkout in support of social studies teacher, Bryan Chu. They said Portland Public Schools put Chu on leave effective Monday.
School staff members told KGW the district is investigating Chu for a number of reasons, including disruptions made during school board meetings and for coaching students into opposing the I-5 expansion near the school.
District officials would not confirm Chu’s leave or the reasons behind it, citing privacy rules. By email, a district spokesperson said, "We also take the conduct of our professionals very seriously, and we expect a certain level of decorum in classrooms and in public."
Eighth grader Sonja Seidman is in Chu's social studies class and participated in the walkout. She said one thing Chu has taught students is how to stand up for what they believe in.
“He was like, ‘Well you know, if we ever have a walkout, there's these signs in the cafeteria and you can just take them off the walls,’” said Seidman. “And so we did that.”
Seidman said Chu had also led class discussions on ODOT’s planned expansion of I-5 near the school, something he's protested outside of work hours. The district is planning to move Harriet Tubman Middle School because of the expansion.
“He was like, ‘Do you think writing letters to the PPS board' — he was like, 'that would be great, do you guys want to do that?’” said Seidman. “And we were like, yes!”
Seidman said other than Chu providing them with board members' email addresses, students who wrote the letters did so of their own free will. She has her own theory for why Chu is on leave.
“PPS feels threatened because Mr. Chu was helping us advocate for the school and the community and he was the only one doing that,” said Seidman.
Chu has a history of speaking out against the school district. In February, he was part of a group that interrupted a school board meeting. He accused the superintendent of lying about replacing teachers' HEPA filters and also swore.
During a 2017 board meeting, Chu criticized the district over its framework for middle school curriculum saying, "PPS, aka mostly BS, this is the crazy-making that has become mostly synonymous with PPS.”
And in a 2018 guest opinion published in The Oregonian, Chu called the district “white supremacist” and “patriarchal,” among other things.
For now, Mr. Chu's classes go on without him, led by a substitute teacher. While Chu's future with the district is unclear, Seidman said she knows what she wants.
“We as students value Mr. Chu so much,” said Seidman. “We really need him in our school to thrive, fully.”

International travel which have been all but impossible during the prolonged pandemic are to become easier, starting in May. The government announced a plan to gradually increase the number of international flights every month to reach 50% of the pre-pandemic level by the year’s end.
[Pkg]
Despite the pandemic, in 2021, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines enjoyed greater revenues and profits than the previous year. Their performances were attributed to increased freight transport, the result of converting 16 and 7 passenger planes to cargo aircraft respectively. Now the carriers review reverting them back to passenger planes... since the government decided to slowly restore the number of international flights, which now rests at a mere 9% of pre-pandemic level.
[Soundbite] Jeon Hae-cheol(Minister of the Interior and Safety) : "As other countries keep loosening disease control measures, Koreans’ overseas travels are expected to increase as well. So the government plans to increase the number of international flights from May."
The restoration of international flights will take place in three stages. In May and June, flights per week will be increased by 100 and the number of hourly arrivals at Incheon International Airport up to 20 planes. Local airports in Jeju and Gimpo, which closed international flights two years ago, will reopen them. Starting in July, 300 more flights will be operated per week. And up to 30 arrivals will be allowed per hour. The target is to reach more than 50% of the pre-pandemic flight level by November. For complete normalization, COVID-19 must become endemic.
[Soundbite] (Korean Air Official) : "We will provide enough seats to accommodate the government’s flight increase plan."
However, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport pointed out, this plan could change depending on the disease control situation at home and abroad.

Most breweries keep their patios front and center, where people can see them and envy the people who sit there during Colorado's three (and a half) seasons of great patio weather. Bruz Beers, on the other hand, offers more of a secret oasis at its Bruz Off Fax location in Capitol Hill. Tucked away at garden level, the patio serves as a courtyard between a couple of other businesses, though it has plenty of space where you can imbibe the brewery's big Belgian beers, and also supplies some quiet respite near the hectic intersection of Colfax Avenue and York Street.

China's Hongqi electric luxury cars enter Israeli market
JERUSALEM, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Chinese automaker FAW Car has started selling Hongqi electric luxury cars in Israel, the Israeli car import dealership Samelet Group said Wednesday.
Hongqi, meaning "red flag" in the Chinese langugae, is China's iconic car brand established in 1958 and has been used as the vehicle for parades at national celebrations.
The first model offered in Israel is the Hongqi E-HS9, a full-size smart electric SUV with a length of 5.209 meters and a wheelbase of 3.11 meters.
It comes in two versions, a standard range of 460 km equipped with an 84-kWh battery, and a long range of 510 km with a 99-kWh battery.
"This is a vehicle that has never been seen before in the Israeli car market and largely also in the world," Samelet CEO Shay Feldman said.
FAW Group, parent of FAW Car, is one of China's oldest and largest automotive manufacturers. It was founded in 1953 and is headquartered in China's northern city of Changchun, Jilin Province.

'K9 is Spiderman, your guardian angel... he is GOD!': Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas showers Karim Benzema with praise after his hat-trick at Chelsea leaves them on the brink of the Champions League semi-finals
- Karim Benzema's hat-trick gave Real Madrid a 3-1 win at Chelsea on Wednesday
- The French forward scored two headers in the space of three first-half minutes
- He then capitalised on an Edouard Mendy mistake to add a third for the visitors
- Real legend Iker Casillas took to Twitter to wax lyrical about Benzema's heroics
- Casillas dubbed the striker 'Spiderman' and 'God' amongst other compliments
Iker Casillas dubbed Karim Benzema 'Spiderman' and 'God' after his hat-trick earned Real Madrid a 3-1 win away at Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Real have one foot in the last four thanks to Benzema's heroics at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, which saw him produce a couple of exquisite first-half headers to fire them into an early 2-0 lead.
Chelsea restored hope of a comeback when Kai Havertz turned home a header of his own five minutes before half-time, yet one minute after the restart Benzema capitalised on a mistake by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to restore the visitors' two-goal advantage.

It was a glorious night for Los Blancos and Benzema in west London, and after the victory Casillas took to Twitter to shower the latter in praise.
The iconic ex-Madrid goalkeeper wrote on Twitter: 'K9 is Spiderman. K9 is Wolverine. K9 is that building doorman. K9 is your best friend. K9 is your grandmother. K9 is the president of the United States. K9 is the instructor you do your parachute jump with. K9 is your guardian angel. K9 is God!'
Benzema is enjoying his finest season in a Madrid shirt at the age of 34, with Wednesday's hat-trick taking his tally to an astonishing 37 goals in 36 appearances.
He also boasts hat-tricks in successive Champions League matches after netting three goals in their previous win over Paris Saint-Germain in the last-16.

It was a glorious night for Real and Benzema, who Casillas showered in praise after the win
Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti was full of praise for Benzema after his latest treble, insisting he is 'getting better every day - just like a fine wine'.
'He's more of a leader every day, he feels more and more important in this team and this squad. And I think that's what makes the difference,' Ancelotti added.
'He has so much more personality, he knows he's a very important player for us and he's an example for everyone.
'I think the most important thing was the bravery that the players showed. The key was that we brought the ball out from the back very well, we were able to get between the lines and Vinicius and Karim Benzema were very dangerous. Both of them linked up very well.'
Ancelotti wasn't the only Madrid figure to wax lyrical about Benzema, with Luka Modric posting a picture of his team-mate on Twitter and writing: 'What a player!'
Los Blancos fans also stayed long after the final whistle in SW6 to serenade their hat-trick hero, who has left them in sight of a second successive semi-final appearance.

Ukraine has requested
India for supply of more medicines and their delivery would begin soon, External Affairs Minister
S Jaishankar informed
Lok Sabha on Wednesday. Responding to a discussion on the situation in Ukraine,
Jaishankar said the ground situation in that country calls for urgent humanitarian relief and pointed out that India has already provided 90 tonnes of relief material.
"Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko called me a few days ago to request for supply of more medicines. The House will be glad to know that this is underway and delivery should start very soon," he said.
He said India will work with the international community and partner countries to mitigate the economic hardships that are resulting from this conflict.
"Obviously, our focus is to soften its impact on our own economy. But equally, there are partners who are going through very tough times. Coordinating on lowering energy prices is one collective initiative. In the case of a neighbour like Sri Lanka, we are even supplying fuel and food on credit," he said.
Noting that food security is another major concern, Jaishankar said India has been approached for the supply of wheat and sugar by many countries and it is responding positively.
"The House will be glad to know that whether it is basmati rice, non-basmati rice, sugar, wheat, our exports in the last quarter have gone up very, very substantially," he said.
"We have delivered for the world in terms of vaccines. We did it earlier for medicines. So, I would like to assure the House, through you, that we will also step forward where global demands for food grains and other materials are concerned, and we will do it in a manner that is helpful to the global economy, which will not take undue advantage of countries in distress," Jaishankar said.
Underlining that there are issues like the supply of edible oil, Jaishankar said commercial diplomacy has to find additional sources to address this disruption.
"There could be more such examples in the days to come. I would like to apprise this House that whether it is the supply of lentils, edible oils, or the requirement of raw materials for fertilisers, we are really looking today in different ways at global markets, from Mercosur to Kazakhstan, Tanzania, Australia, and Canada, to see how we can lighten the burden for the common people in India as a result of this crisis," he said.
On
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's query as to whether India is considering Rupee-Rouble trade mechanism, Jaishankar said the
Finance Ministry is examining the issue and will take a call on it.
"Our effort today is to stabilise economic transactions between India and Russia because it is very important for us. Russia is a very important partner in a variety of areas. I think, all members understand that," he said.
"So, at the moment, there is an Inter-Ministerial Group which is led by the Finance Ministry seeing how the payments issue can be best addressed. There are experiences from the past which are relevant in this regard. But, I think, this is quite honestly an issue where the Finance Minister would, finally, have to take a call," he said.

Turkish court halts Khashoggi trial, transfers it to S.Arabia
By Ali Kucukgocmen
ISTANBUL, April 7 (Reuters) - A Turkish court decided on Thursday to halt the trial of Saudi suspects over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and transfer it to Saudi Arabia, a ruling that drew condemnation from rights groups and comes as Ankara mends ties with Riyadh.
The decision was expected after the prosecutor called last week for the trial in absentia of 26 Saudi suspects to be transferred from Istanbul to Riyadh. The justice minister later endorsed the request.
Khashoggi's killing at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul four years ago raised a global outcry and put pressure on Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Turkish officials said they believe Khashoggi, a prominent critic of the crown prince, was killed and his body dismembered in an operation which President Tayyip Erdogan said had been ordered at the "highest levels" of the Saudi government.
The judge's ruling marks a turnaround in the trial that began in 2020.
"Making the decision to halt (the trial) is against the law... because the acquittal ruling about the defendants in Saudi Arabia has been finalised," said Gokmen Baspinar, a lawyer representing Hatice Cengiz, the murdered journalist's fiancée.
"The fact that the trial is being transferred to a country where there is no justice is an example of irresponsibility against the Turkish people," he said.
The Saudi government media office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A U.S. intelligence report released a year ago said Prince Mohammed had approved the operation to kill or capture Khashoggi, but the Saudi government denied any involvement by the crown prince and rejected the report's findings.
The killing and subsequent accusations strained ties between the two Sunni Muslim regional powers and led to an unofficial Saudi boycott of Turkish goods, which cut Ankara's exports to Riyadh by 90%.
But with Turkey keen for investment to boost its economy, Ankara has sought over the last year to heal the rift with Riyadh.
Erdogan said last month Turkey was continuing a "positive dialogue" with Saudi Arabia and wants to take concrete steps to improve ties. The respective foreign ministers held talks two weeks ago and agreed to improve ties, Ankara said.
Ahead of the ruling, Human Rights Watch had warned that transferring of the trial to Riyadh would block justice.
It "would end any possibility of justice for (Khashoggi), and would reinforce Saudi authorities' apparent belief that they can get away with murder", said Michael Page, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.

Mayor Wu Targets All-Electric School Bus Fleet By 2030
Mayor Michelle Wu announced Wednesday that she was making progress on one of her campaign promises by procuring 20 electric school buses for the Boston Public School system as a first step towards electrifying the city’s fleet of 739 yellow school buses by 2030.
According to a press release from the Mayor’s office, Boston Public Schools (BPS) will by 20 electric buses within the next 8 to 10 months, using funds from the school system’s operating budget and from the American Rescue Plan Act. These first buses will initially replace older diesel-burning buses in the school system’s fleet.
In a parallel initiative, BPS will also launch a new vocational program focused on electric vehicle maintenance at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School.
“Not only are we working to electrify our school buses and municipal fleet for cleaner air throughout our neighborhoods, but these workforce development pipelines connected to electric vehicles will help support career pathways into the green economy,” said Mayor Wu in a press release announcing the two programs.
The City of Boston estimates that its 739 school buses produce about 11 percent of the City’s municipal emissions. Since 2016, BPS has been replacing older diesel buses with propane-fueled buses, which produce less air pollution. But new electric buses will eliminate tailpipe emissions altogether to improve air quality and reduce noise pollution around the city’s schools.
School buses have been identified as a promising use for battery-powered engines because they are typically used for short trips and can be recharged in the middle of the school day, whereas electric transit buses must have adequate battery capacity to operate for much longer periods.
A December 2021 report for the California Air Resources Board estimated that there were approximately 1,700 electric school buses that had been funded, ordered, or deployed by the start of the 2021 school year – a tiny fraction of the 500,000 school buses operating in the United States.
But that fraction is expected to grow quickly. The “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” that was enacted in November 2021 included a $5 billion line-item to support decarbonizing the nation’s school bus fleets.

Amazon have made their Kindle Paperwhite even more user-friendly with the 2021 edition.
The company hadn’t brought out a new version of the device since 2018, and the new e-reader boasts a bigger screen, USB-C charging and an impressive 10-week battery life.
The 2021 Kindle Paperwhite – which has retained the IPX8 waterproofing and Audible compatibility that were welcome additions to the 2018 version – has a 6.8in display screen and, although slightly heavier, is also thinner.
Night readers will love the warmer colour temperatures that can go from a gentle glow to intense orange, but a noticeable lack of blue light to help users drop off easier, and there’s also 17 LEDs, making for a brighter screen than the five found in the 2018 model.
The processor is 20% quicker and boots up noticeably more speedily, while scrolling between pages is instantaneous.
The only downside to the device is the lack of headphone jack, meaning those want to use the audiobook versions of their favourite titles will have to rely on Bluetooth headphones, though the integration of Audible is a bonus, particularly as it’s so easy to switch between that and the printed word, with the Kindle always keeping your place.

WASHINGTON — The high price of food at the grocery store may have you wondering what is going on at America's farms?
When you ask farmers if anything can be done to make their lives easier, one answer emerges quite frequently. And that is regarding the right to repair.
WHY SOME FARMERS DON'T BUY NEW
To call Sean Kayne a farmer wouldn't be quite right. While he owns dozens of acres near Providence, Rhode Island, he doesn't farm as a career. He grows food as a hobby. In fact, his day job focuses on computers and auto safety.
“I consider myself a part-time farmer,” Kayne said with a smile.
Sean, however, is experiencing something that is impacting the biggest farms and farmers in our country. Sean doesn’t want newer pieces of farm equipment because they are full of computer chips and software.
Those machines, he says, have become too complicated and costly to repair.
"I know that if something goes down on it, I can fix it," Kayne said as he pointed to his older pieces of farm equipment.
BIG ISSUE IN RURAL AMERICA
The issue of who has the right to repair farm equipment is a big issue in rural America right now. Many of the largest sellers of farm equipment say their own technicians and repairmen need to do it.
The topic brought Jared Wilson to Washington recently for National Agriculture Week. He’s a fifth-generation farmer from Butler, Missouri and unlike Sean, he needs the newer machines with the updated software to run his farm.
When his machine goes offline, delays are created waiting for specific technicians. Local, independent technicians are often not allowed access let alone the farmer.
"John Deere is the only company that can fix my equipment," Wilson said.
Delays on the farm, Wilson says, can mean higher food prices and even an increase in taxpayer-funded aid to farmers.
THE PUSH IN CONGRESS
Some in Congress are recognizing this as an issue and have proposed legislation to force companies to start sharing their technology. A separate legal fight has begun too.
President Biden has signed executive orders asking agencies to address the issue. If you’re wondering why the world's largest tractor companies don't want farmers fixing their own machines, the answer is on John Deere’s website.
“Doing so creates risks related to safe operation of the machine,” a recent post reads.
However, within the last few weeks executives at John Deere announced a plan to start sharing more software information, beginning in May. Additional access is expected next year as well.
Back at Sean’s farm that’s still not enough for him to go out and buy something new.
"You get into the electronic stuff and you get into a different animal," Kayne said.

Cumbria University and Imperial College London to open Carlisle school
- Published
A new school to train doctors for North West England has been announced.
The University of Cumbria and Imperial College London said their joint medical school in Carlisle should open in autumn 2025.
It would train 50 students a year at Carlisle Citadels, Cumbria University's proposed new campus.
A spokeswoman said it is being placed in an area of England where recruitment and retention of medical staff is a significant challenge.
The school would also aim to develop research programmes in areas such as health and social inequalities, according to Cumbria University's vice chancellor Professor Julie Mennell.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said the partnership between the universities would "train more doctors in the North West", adding: "Our doctors have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to care for us and our loved ones, and it is this dedication that is inspiring the next generation."
Professor Alice Gast, president of Imperial College London, said: "This exciting new partnership presents an incredible opportunity to combine the resources and expertise of both our institutions to educate the doctors that are needed for Cumbria and the North West of England.
"Our shared vision is to also develop a range of local research programmes in these demographically different areas."
Professor Brian Webster-Henderson, deputy vice chancellor for health, environment and innovation at the University of Cumbria's lead on this strategic initiative said: "The new school's location will have the dual benefit of opening up more opportunities to study medicine in the North West, and provide a steady stream of trained doctors for the region."
An Imperial College London spokeswoman said by the time the students qualify they would be "embedded into the local integrated care system, encouraging them to continue living and working in the region after graduation".

National Insurance rise: How will it affect companies in Scotland?
By Connor Gillies
BBC Scotland consumer affairs correspondent
- Published
Another day, another rise. Employers and workers have been getting to grips with a contentious increase in National Insurance payments as a new tax year begins.
Both businesses and employees are feeling fatigued at the financial stress, with almost everyone seeing their contributions going up.
A small business I visited in South Ayrshire told me the NI rise compounded an already troubling time with energy and other costs soaring.
The employer - 'These small changes make a massive difference'
Scott Weir is founder and chief executive of Pillow Partners - a short-term lettings agency based in Dundonald, South Ayrshire.
He said energy bills for its offices were going to "at least double", while employees were "anxious" about rising fuel costs.
He anticipates payroll costs going up with the rise in National Insurance - a third of his staff are in the higher-rate tax bands - and to help them cope with inflation at more than 6%.
"These small changes make a massive difference when it comes to payroll and additional taxes. We just need to be safe," he said.
Mr Weir said he had been planning to go from 28 staff members to 50 by the end of the year.
"We had already started some recruitment and had some really good candidates lined up but some can't come because of the travel costs.
"We are going to recruit at least one person less each month over the next few months.
"We need to look at increasing their wages in line with inflation and the minimum wage is also going up as well - all these things are happening in the same month."
Employees pay National Insurance on their wages and employers pay extra contributions for staff.
Employees, businesses and the self-employed will all pay an extra 1.25p in the pound.
In September, the government announced the rise in contributions from 6 April.
So now, employees will pay contributions on earnings above £9,880 a year. From July, it will be paid on earnings above £12,570 a year.
Cost onslaught
Taken together, the changes - which affect everyone in the UK - mean that over the next 12 months, anyone earning less than about £34,000 a year will pay less in NI than the previous year, while those earning more than £34,000 will see their payments rise.
That will mean some of the lowest paid will see a few hundred pounds back in their pockets.
The UK government said the additional money would go into helping health and social care changes in England and that additional cash would flow to Scotland to be spent by Scottish ministers.
But there's a growing fear that companies who just about survived the pandemic will end up closing as the cost onslaught continues to pile up.
As a business linked to tourism, Mr Weir said it had been "totally dead" over the last two years.
"We have been waiting to jump back into action and employed lots of new staff over the last few months but now we can't expand as fast as we could have," he said.
"As we came out of lockdown there was a real sense of excitement but now things have started to slow down again and people are being very cautious with their money."
The employee - 'Do we really need the heating on?'
Jonny Griffen, 31, recently joined Pillow Partners as a community engagement manager.
He said it was too early to assess the impact of the change to National Insurance but he was already preparing to make sacrifices.
"When you add it on top of the rising fuel costs, gas and electric, council tax, it is just another added expense, isn't it? All these things are going up at the same time so the biggest challenge is budgeting everything.
"Everyone has a certain standard of living and I wouldn't say mine is particularly glamorous. I don't jet off to exotic countries every month and I am not decked out in the nicest clothes.
"We'll probably be thinking 'do we really need the heating on at this time of night, or at this time of the morning?' Hopefully we get a good summer so people who have to make hard choices are not going to be cold.
"Obviously nobody wants these rises but at the same time there is no denying what has happened in the last two years.
"I don't envy the people who have to make the decisions - it is a difficult one - but was it really necessary right now? I would say probably not."

Khashoggi: Anger as Turkish court halts murder trial
- Published
The trial in Turkey of 26 Saudi nationals accused over the notorious murder of dissident Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in 2018 has been halted.
A judge said the case would now be handed over to Saudi Arabia, which had refused to extradite the suspects.
Khashoggi's fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, said she would fight on.
The Washington Post journalist was killed inside the Saudi consulate after being lured there. His murder by Saudi agents sparked worldwide outrage.
A Saudi court convicted eight unnamed people over the murder in 2019.
Thursday's ruling comes after Turkey's justice minister agreed to a prosecutor's request to stop the trial on the grounds that it was impeded by the absence of the defendants. The prosecutor said Saudi judicial authorities had promised to evaluate the accusations against them.
The move however has been lambasted as a whitewash by human rights campaigners.
Amnesty International's Turkey official Milena Buyum said it was an "appalling and clearly political decision".
Back inside the court. Agreed to transfer the case to the Saudi authorities - in one sentence, just like that. Didn’t even bother to state the lawyers’ requests are rejected. Appalling and clearly political decision. #justiceforJamal
— Milena Büyüm (@MilenaBuyum) April 7, 2022
Outside the court, Ms Cengiz, Khashoggi's fiancee, told journalists she would appeal, AFP news agency reported.
"My fight for justice for Jamal is not over. The courts might have decided that they can ignore the truth about his case, but I will not stop and I will not be quiet about it. We all know who is guilty of Jamal's murder and it is now more important than ever that I keep going.” pic.twitter.com/x98ZImDRzf
— Hatice Cengiz / خديجة (@mercan_resifi) April 7, 2022
The development comes as Turkey seeks to repair its relations with Saudi Arabia.
Ties between the two regional powers deteriorated significantly following the murder and led to an unofficial Saudi boycott of Turkish exports.
Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018, where he had gone to get papers needed to marry his fiancee.
Then-UN special rapporteur Agnes Callamard concluded that he was "brutally slain" inside the building by a 15-strong team of Saudi agents sent from Riyadh, and that his body was dismembered. She made that judgement after listening to purported audio recordings of conversations inside the consulate made by Turkish intelligence.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan alleged that Khashoggi was "killed in cold blood by a death squad" sent from Riyadh, and said it had "been established that his murder was premeditated".
US intelligence agencies concluded that the crown prince, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, had approved an operation to capture or kill Khashoggi.
The prince denied playing any role and Saudi prosecutors blamed "rogue" agents.
A year after the killing, a Saudi court found five people guilty of directly participating in the killing and handed them death sentences that were later commuted to 20-year prison terms, while three others were jailed for seven to 10 years for covering up the crime.
Turkey rejected the outcome as "scandalous" and for almost two years a court in Istanbul had been trying 26 Saudi officials in absentia on charges of premeditated murder or destroying evidence.

Speaking from his hospital bed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, James Perkinson’s voice was raspy. In February, he’d just been taken off ECMO, the last-ditch life support treatment in which a machine outside the body does the work of the heart and lungs.
Full recovery is expected to take a year or more for Perkinson.
“If it wasn’t for the ECMO and the doctors that were put in place at the right time with the right knowledge, I would not be here,” he said, with his wife, Kacie, by his side.
“Could there have been a miracle and he could have lived if he hadn’t gotten [ECMO]? Maybe. But the chances were absolutely slim to none,” Kacie said.
A new study from Vanderbilt shows she’s probably right about those chances.
During the surge of the delta variant of covid-19 late last summer, ECMO therapy was in short supply across the South. Vanderbilt’s unit was taking 10 to 15 calls a day from hospitals without ECMO looking for an open bed. Even patients' families were calling on behalf of dying loved ones.
“‘There’s no beds. There’s no nurses. There’s no machines. There’s just not enough. We just physically can’t,'” nurse practitioner Whitney Gannon said she would tell people calling from hospitals around the South. “It’s the worst feeling in the world.”
But Gannon grew curious about what happened to the patients she had to turn down — especially those who were young and healthy, like Perkinson, who was 28. She started checking back, informally.
Many of them had died, including a pregnant woman.
So, within a matter of weeks, she helped launch an official study. And Gannon’s team started taking every call, even when no beds were available.
“We wanted to know: Is this patient truly medically eligible for ECMO? Would we provide ECMO? And if we didn’t, we wanted to know what happened to that patient,” Gannon said.
The results, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, are grim. Nearly 90% who couldn’t find a spot at an ECMO center died. And these patients were under 60 and previously healthy, with a median age of 40.
Over the course of the pandemic, hospitals have had difficulty deciding who gets priority when ECMO, which stands for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is in short supply. It’s not an exact science. And there are precious few ECMO beds, especially when some patients linger for months on the machine, only to die.
Perkinson was a good candidate since he’s young and — before falling ill with covid — relatively healthy. A machinist from Greenbrier, Tennessee, and a father of two, he caught covid after making an appointment to get his first dose of vaccine, he said.
Without vaccine protection, he didn’t fare well against the virus. He was put on a ventilator just after Christmas and within days stepped up to an available ECMO bed as his blood oxygen levels dropped.
For nearly two months, his blood flowed through a tube in his neck to the ECMO unit, which infused it with oxygen, took out the carbon dioxide, and sent it back into his body. He was sedated the entire time, increasing his risk of long-term organ damage and disability.
The use of ECMO spiked during the pandemic. Never has it been used so widely, but the data remains limited. And a study published in The Lancet in September 2021 found that the number of covid patients dying while on ECMO had increased 15% since the beginning of the pandemic.
Even early on, only half were surviving. And as the pandemic dragged on, more hospitals with less experience were using ECMO, and some expanded criteria to include older patients or those with risk factors like obesity who do not do as well.
Hospital capacity crunches have been central to the debate because ECMO requires a small village of nurses and respiratory therapists. And sometimes the patients stay on the therapy for months, not just weeks.
One patient currently at Vanderbilt, which has just seven ECMO beds, has been there since last year's delta surge, said Dr. Jonathan Casey.
“So you can imagine how it doesn’t take much to fill this resource even during a small wave,” Casey said.
Even during the omicron surge, Casey said, Vanderbilt has turned down some transfer requests for ECMO.
While the odds of survival with critical covid patients are still roughly 50-50, the Vanderbilt study shows what happens if the therapy is unavailable.
“I’m trying to convince people that this is a resource worth investing in and then hoping people invest in those resources over time,” said Casey, the study's senior author.
Until there is broader access to ECMO, Casey said, the country also needs to find a better way to decide who is prioritized for treatment, similar to how organ transplant allocation works. There is a national ECMO organization called the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, but it doesn’t get involved with triaging patients yet.
Some hospitals will agree to try ECMO on someone over 70, if the family pushes hard enough. Others turn down patients over 50, especially if they have underlying diabetes or heart disease.
Small-scale cooperative efforts are underway. In Minnesota, hospitals have agreed to use the same strict patient criteria and a statewide referral process.
The decisions are still “ethically nuanced,” said Dr. Matthew Prekker, who helped set up the consortium before the pandemic emerged. Cooperation could mean giving an ECMO bed to a patient from across the state instead of someone in your own hospital.
The goal is simply for more patients to survive.
“It takes a lot of cooperation among health systems and state leadership,” he said. “But I think doctors and communities have more appetite for that now than they did before.”

BEIJING (AP) — China has described reports and images of civilian killings in Ukraine as disturbing, and urged that they be further investigated, even while declining to blame Russia. That's drawn questions about the resiliency of Beijing’s support for Moscow, but speculation that it is weakening appears to be misplaced.
Here’s a deeper look at where China stands at this stage of the conflict:
IS CHINA SERIOUS ABOUT PROBING ATROCITIES?
In his statement Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian referred to reports of atrocities in the town of Bucha, saying, “The truth and the cause of the incident must be verified." He said that all parties should exercise restraint and avoid “unfounded accusations before a conclusion of the investigation.”
Crucially, Zhao did not mention Russian forces and gave no indication of how evidence should be gathered or by whom.
China has a lengthy history of providing political cover for its friends after incidents such as the sinking of a South Korean navy ship in 2010. China called that “unfortunate," but refused to accept evidence North Korea was responsible.
Beijing also routinely turns accusations of war crimes back on the accusers, mainly the U.S., citing the Iraq invasion and incidents such as NATO’s 1999 bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. China has never accepted NATO’s claim that the attack was unintended.
WHERE DOES CHINA STAND ON RUSSIA'S INVASION?
Beijing early on committed itself to the position that Russia was provoked into attacking its neighbor by the eastward expansion of NATO under U.S. direction, even though Russian President Vladimir Putin has not listed that as his primary motive for invading.
China has abstained in votes at the United Nations condemning Russia's actions, and, in keeping with standard policy, has strongly opposed economic sanctions against Russia.
At the same time, China shows no signs of undermining those sanctions or rushing in to fill the void left by the departure of Western companies from Russia.
Beijing has of late focused its messages on calls for talks leading to a cease-fire and avoiding a major humanitarian catastrophe. It has also provided Ukraine with humanitarian assistance and kept a line open to Ukrainian officials. Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his counterpart Dmytro Kuleba on Monday that China does not “have the mentality of watching the fire from a safe distance, still less to do anything that adds fuel to the fire."
WHAT'S BEHIND CHINA'S SUPPORT FOR RUSSIA?
China and Russia have grown increasingly close under Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, aligning their foreign policies in opposition to the Western liberal world order.
China generally follows Russia's lead in voting at the U.N. and has helped stymy efforts to censure it over its military intervention in Syria. Together, the countries account for two of the five permanent veto-wielding seats on the U.N. Security Council, forming a bloc that can effectively frustrate Washington's initiatives.
The two are also closely linked economically, with China becoming Russia's largest trading partner and an important export market for its natural gas and oil.
Just weeks before the war began, Xi and Putin met in Beijing and issued a joint statement describing their relations as having “no limits." To criticize Putin would therefore implicitly criticize Xi, something China does not tolerate.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS AND POTENTIAL BENEFITS?
By claiming to be an impartial observer, China has won Moscow's gratitude while largely shielding itself from obligations to take action against Russia. Beijing also points to the refusal of other countries including India and Brazil to condemn Moscow as evidence it doesn't stand alone.
Beijing has no desire to see the end of Putin's regime, but could benefit from a weakened Russia becoming even more of a junior partner in the relationship. That could give Beijing a stronger hand in obtaining Russian energy resources and cutting edge military technology.
At present, the risks are minimal. Beijing is long accustomed to being accused of enabling or perpetrating human rights abuses and has grown adept at ignoring or parrying them using its economic and political clout.
While its biggest city Shanghai is facing one of the country's largest outbreak since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with a key Communist Party congress coming up later in the year, China is on high alert for anything that might threaten domestic stability.
HOW IS CHINA KEEPING THE PUBLIC ON ITS SIDE?
Beijing's entirely Communist Party-controlled media have reported on the civilian killings in Bucha, but their coverage has a strong pro-Russian slant. The media have also amplified Russian disinformation, especially debunked claims that the U.S. and Ukraine have been collaborating on the production of biological weapons.
Beijing has sent instructions to teachers on how to “correctly” explain the conflict to students, with the U.S. cast as the “main culprit."
It's also shored up the official narrative with the circulation of a documentary film predating the Feb. 24 invasion that decries the fall of Russia's former communist system. “Historical Nihilism and the Soviet Collapse" heaps praise on Putin and Joseph Stalin, while accusing reformers such as Nikita Khrushchev and Mikhail Gorbachev of aiding the U.S. and its allies in weakening the system from within.

The group said if Kyrie Irving can play, they should be allowed to work.
Mayor Eric Adams is blasting anti-mask activists and wants to remind people that COVID isn't over. In fact, the number of cases in Manhattan has been tracking north of the yellow threshold this week, but city officials apparently confirmed it ahead of the CDC's weekly update of its community transmission tracker on Thursdays.
The city's color code is citywide, not borough based. So the city's color code will not be increasing just yet, but New York City officials have indicated they expect the city to enter yellow risk category in the coming weeks, citing the increased spread
There was a protest earlier this week against the mask mandate for kids ages 2-4.
On Wednesday, the mayor said he did not know the now-fired city Law Department employee who attended one of those rallies before posing as a reporter at a press conference.
He also said he did not make the decision to fire Daniela Jampel, the Law Department did.
He also had this message for people upset about mask-wearing.
"There's a group that's traveling around the city, banging on the doors of my health commissioner, even though his children are inside, yelling and screaming, threatening his life," Adams said. "There's a group that's running around the city who is the numerical minority, but they are loud, so people believe that they are the majority."
Meanwhile, at the state level, more than 100 court employees are set to get fired after failing to submit proof of vaccination on Thursday.
At least one judge on the New York State Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, is facing removal from the bench because she won't get vaccinated.
According to multiple reports, the judge is Jenny Rivera who repeatedly shows up to proceeding via video while everyone else appears in person.

One judge was widely reported to be Jenny Rivera, an associate judge on the New York Court of Appeals, the state's top court. She has been appearing at hearings by video rather than sitting alongside her colleagues in their Albany courtroom.
The courts system employs more than 15,000 staff members and 3,000 judges.

BERLIN — German lawmakers are debating Thursday whether to require all people aged 60 and over in the country to be vaccinated against the coronavirus — a compromise solution the government hopes will receive a parliamentary majority.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his health minister had originally called for a vaccine mandate to apply to all adults in Germany, but some government lawmakers and most of the opposition have balked at the idea.
After months of haggling, a cross-party group has proposed that only older people will be required to get the shot, though there will be compulsory counseling for all adults to help them weigh up the advantages and risks of vaccination against COVID-19.
Two opposition proposals are also being debated: the center-right Union bloc has proposed preparing a vaccine register to determine who has received a shot, but opposes a requirement to get one. The far-right Alternative for Germany party objects to any mandate and wants the existing vaccine requirement for health workers repealed.
Germany has managed the pandemic well compared to some of its European neighbors, with fewer deaths per capita than Italy, France, Britain or Sweden.
Social Democratic lawmaker Dagmar Schmidt, who presented the compromise bill targeting over-60s, noted that the number of infections has been going down lately.
Official figures show the confirmed coronavirus cases in Germany declined in recent weeks from a peak of about 300,000 daily to just over 200,000 in the past 24 hours. There were 328 COVID-related deaths, according to Germany's disease control agency.
But Schmidt said it was necessary to prepare for a new rise in cases and a possible new variant later in the year.
"We will face the same challenge next fall that we did last fall," she said. "The virus won't simply disappear."

Why NJ is finally considering self-serve gas (Opinion)
For the past couple of decades, legislators in New Jersey have been afraid to pass or even propose self-service gasoline. Even though the 49 other states allow it, politicians here were for a long time of the belief that women don't want it and it was political suicide.
Here's how politics works in New Jersey and most other places in America: Lobbying.
Gasoline retailers have been having a tough time getting employees to operate their pumps, even at up to $20 an hour in some parts of our state. Many of their pumps sit idle with orange cones blocking the lanes.
This past weekend I visited a Wawa with 20 pumps and less than half were available with what seemed like only two guys working them. This new proposed law would allow for stations with at least four pumps to allow you to pump your own gas.
A little background: In 1948, an enterprising businessman in NJ opened the first-ever self-serve gas station with 24 pumps and was able to sell his gas 3 cents cheaper than his competitors (an inflation-adjusted difference of $0.35 per gallon in 2022 dollars). His competitors didn't like that and lobbied the Legislature to make pumping your own gas illegal in the state of New Jersey back in 1949.
Lobbyists for the Gasoline Retailer's Association had to find a way to overcome the idea that women wouldn't want to pump their own gas. Previous attempts to just allow it for a two-year test period had failed just a couple of years ago. So, if you get a couple of female legislators in the majority party to co-sponsor the measure, perhaps you can make some progress.
This is where we are today and why this proposed bill may have the best chance to pass.
Whether it's skillful lobbying, the New Jersey Legislature finally coming to its senses, or the fact that Steve Sweeney, a powerful force in blocking previous attempts is gone, you can take your pick. There are many people in the state, in particular women, who don't want to pump their own gasoline.
With this new law, they won't have to.
One of the two people working at a station with 20 pumps, where orange cones currently block most of them, will pump your gas, while others who don't want to wait can finally pump their own at the freed-up pumps.
Yay, everybody wins. Can we now get on with this and end the 73 years of prohibition born out of typical New Jersey corruption? I sure hope so.

As Salah toils, Jota stepping up as Liverpool's go-to scorer
It was an open-and-shut case for many, including his manager.
Mohamed Salah was, it was declared on an almost weekly basis, the best soccer player in the world for the first half of this season, demonstrating the kind of elite-level scoring form only Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and more recently Robert Lewandowski have been able to produce this century.
It wasn´t just the volume of goals - 22 in his first 23 matches - that he was putting away for Liverpool. It was the sheer quality of them that took one's breath away.
None more so than the weaving solo effort he conjured up against Manchester City at Anfield in October, midway through a run of 10 straight games when he scored, that surely will go down as the Premier League´s goal of the season.
"Come on," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp asked out loud, "who is better than him?"
Fast forward six months and Salah is, in relative terms, in a rut. Indeed, heading into a seismic return match against City on Sunday that could yet determine the destination of the title, there´s an argument to say he might not even be Klopp´s go-to striker.

There are potentially a whole host of reasons why Salah is going through his worst scoring run this season, with no goals in five games in all competitions and no open-play goals in six weeks.
Is he tired? He´s already played 47 games this season, after all.
Are painful losses for Egypt lingering? First there was the penalty-shootout loss to Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane´s Senegal in the African Cup of Nations final in February, then a loss - also via a shootout - to the same opponent in a World Cup playoff last month.
Does it have anything to do with his current contract standoff with Liverpool? That would be unlikely.
Maybe it´s simply the vagaries of form and happenstance. Because he´s still piling up the chances, just not converting them.
Whatever it is, this is not the Salah of six months ago. He was substituted midway through the second half in each of Liverpool´s last two games after, by his high standards, fairly underwhelming performances.
"Sometimes he could decide in a better way, no doubt about that, pass the ball quicker and all these things," Klopp said this week. "But it´s a tough period for Sadio (Mane) and Mo, with the Africa Cup and coming back being immediately available for us again with all the games.
"It´s completely normal in a season that you have these little (ups and downs)."
Will Klopp drop Salah against City on Sunday? He´d be a brave man to do that to the Premier League´s top scorer. But it´s not that he doesn´t have options.
And in Diogo Jota, Klopp has a forward who has helped to take on Liverpool´s scoring burden firstly while Salah was away at the African Cup and then amid the Egyptian´s recent struggles.
Jota appears to be Liverpool´s first-choice center forward now, displacing Roberto Firmino by doing all the dirty work like the Brazilian - the tracking back, the pressing, the harrying of defenders - but scoring a lot more goals at the same time.
Jota has scored four goals in his last six games, including the winner against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup quarterfinals and crucial openers against Arsenal and Watford in the league. He is tied for second in the league's scoring chart with 14 goals.
Rested against Benfica in the Champions League in midweek, Jota is highly likely to start against City. It´s which two players are alongside him in the three-pronged forward line that´s the big question.
And this is where Liverpool holds the edge over City, which will start the game at Etihad Stadium one point clear of Klopp´s team with eight games left. Liverpool´s firepower simply is greater, with Klopp able to call upon Salah, Jota, Firmino, Mane and January signing Luis Diaz, who has settled in seamlessly since joining from Porto.
City has a slew of classy attacking midfielders and forwards but none have the cutting edge of the likes of Salah - when he´s in form - or Jota.
City manager Pep Guardiola knows a draw is enough to leave the destiny of the title solely in his team´s hands. If that happens, City will win the league by winning its next seven games.
The onus is on Liverpool to go on the attack, which makes the game all the more enticing for fans.
And Klopp, who boldly played a front four of Mane, Salah, Jota and Firmino at the Etihad two seasons ago, knows he has the offensive players to overwhelm City.
Whether Salah is playing or not.

Qatar says Airbus increased allowable limit on A350 surface damage
LONDON, April 7 (Reuters) - Qatar Airways accused planemaker Airbus on Thursday of moving the goalposts in a safety and contractual dispute by raising the allowable limit for surface damage to the A350 jetliner.
An Airbus spokesman said Qatar's comment was a "misrepresentation of the facts" as the planemaker also told a London court that relations with the Gulf carrier had "seriously broken down".
Qatar Airways is seeking the extension of a court order preventing the planemaker from revoking a contract for A321neo airliners in retaliation for Qatar´s refusal to take delivery of A350s in a dispute over surface damage on the long-haul jets. (Reporting by Tim Hepher; editing by Kate Holton)

WHO says making contingency plans for possible 'chemical assaults' in Ukraine
GENEVA, April 7 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization's European head said on Thursday that the body was preparing for possible "chemical assaults" in Ukraine.
"Given the uncertainties of the current situation, there are no assurances that the war will not get worse," Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, said in a statement sent to journalists from Lviv, Ukraine. "WHO is considering all scenarios and making contingencies for different situations that could afflict the people of Ukraine, from the continued treatment of mass casualties, to chemical assaults," he said, without providing further details.

UPDATE 2-EU's full ban on Russian coal to be pushed back to mid-August -sources
By Francesco Guarascio
BRUSSELS, April 7 (Reuters) - European Union envoys are set to approve on Thursday a ban on Russian coal that would take full effect from mid-August, a month later than initially planned, two EU sources told Reuters, following pressure from Germany to delay the measure.
The phase-out of EU imports of Russian coal is the cornerstone measure in a fifth package of sanctions against Russia that the EU Commission proposed this week, as a reaction to atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha.
Once approved, it will be the EU's first ban on any import of energy from Russia since the start of what the Kremlin calls a "special operation" in Ukraine on February 24.
Oil and gas, which represent far bigger imports from Moscow, are still untouched.
The EU Commission had initially proposed a wind-down period of three months for existing contracts, meaning that Russia could effectively still export coal to the EU for 90 days after sanctions were imposed, according to a document seen by Reuters.
But that period has been extended to four months, the sources who are familiar with the discussions told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
That followed pressure mostly from Germany, the EU's main importer of Russian coal.
With sanctions expected to take effect later this week, or early the next, after publication in the EU official journal, Russian companies will effectively be able to export coal to the EU until mid-August under existing contracts.
One diplomat said most coal contracts were short term, and a wind-down period of 90 days would have allowed most of them to be concluded without the need for cancellation, avoiding legal risks.
Some contracts however last longer than one year.
Much of Europe's buying of Russian coal is in the spot market, rather than long-term contracts. Those spot purchases would be halted immediately after sanctions are imposed.
Despite being slightly watered down from the initial proposal, the EU's planned ban on Russian coal is more ambitious than Britain's, which has said it planned to ban coal imports from Russia by the end of the year.
The EU Commission has estimated the coal ban could cost Russia 4 billion euros ($4.36 billion) a year in lost revenue.
The Commission declined to comment.
The EU ban is expected to boost global imports of non-Russian coal, with prices potentially going up, although non-EU importers may benefit of lower prices for Russian coal.

NEW YORK (AP) — CBS News reporter Debora Patta has covered conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, and the aftermath of terrorist attacks in Europe. She has seen violence and death at close range before. But the atrocities she witnessed in Bucha, Ukraine this week stood out, and overwhelmed her.
“We need to be disturbed by these pictures,” Patta said on “CBS Mornings,” after describing what she and other journalists witnessed in the outskirts of Kyiv.
The war changed this week from a media perspective, which is how most people outside of Ukraine experience it.
Before, events had been seen primarily from a slight distance — fiery explosions caught on camera or drone-eyed views of burned-out buildings. Now, with the Ukrainian army retaking control of villages near Kyiv that had been brutalized by Russian soldiers, journalists are capturing the aftermath of horrific violence at close range — of dead bodies bound, tortured and burned.
While there’s a sense that images like these might change public opinion or have an impact on how a war plays out, historically that hasn’t often been the case, said Rebecca Adelman, a communications professor at the University of Maryland who specializes in war and the media.
Still, several countries, including the United States and Britain, imposed additional sanctions on Russia this week, and they cited the brutality in Bucha as compelling them to do more.
Whatever the impact, Adelman said it is critical to have journalists on hand to document what is going on. “Bearing witness is crucially important, particularly in cases of catastrophic loss,” she said. “Sometimes the photograph is all you have left.”
Photographs and video from Bucha showed body bags piled in trenches, lifeless limbs protruding from hastily dug graves, and corpses scattered in streets where they fell, including one man blown off a bicycle.
Journalists from around the world also interviewed Ukrainians emerging from their hiding places to tell stories about the barbarism they witnessed from Russian soldiers.
TV anchors and correspondents warned viewers that they were about to see graphic and disturbing pictures — a warning that came four times in one episode of “World News Tonight” on ABC. “I’m sorry I have to show you this,” CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen apologized, before motioning a camera to show body bags piled in a van.
“While we may want to look away, it is becoming harder and harder to close our eyes to what’s happening,” NBC “Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt said in his warning to viewers.
Veteran television news producer Rick Kaplan said that, from what he’s seen, news organizations have been careful in what they’ve shown without flinching from the story.
“Every day we have these images it brings (the war) home more and more,” said Kaplan, a former president of both CNN and MSNBC. “It’s a good thing that this horrifies us. Can you imagine if we were blase about it?”
The gruesome images from Bucha, in particular, have dominated news reports around the world.
The BBC reported on the continued “world revulsion.” Italian state TV gave no warning before showing bodies with bound hands, half-buried in sandy terrain. “What you see from here, unfortunately, are signs of torture on the face,” journalist Stefania Battistini said. “All are wearing civilian clothes.”
Narrating a story on Fakty, Poland’s most-watched evening news program, anchor Grzegorz Kajdanowicz said “it is our duty to warn you, but also to show you what the Russians did in Bucha and several other places.”
It was different in Russia, where state television falsely claimed Ukraine was responsible for either killing civilians themselves or perpetrating a hoax. Russian TV has also run images of dead bodies in Bucha, some taken from CNN, with the word “fake” stamped on the screen, according to Internet Archive, a company that monitors Web and television content.
The Russian propaganda prompted many Western news organizations to debunk those claims by using satellite imagery to show that many dead bodies that were documented on the ground this week by journalists had been in the same spots when Russia controlled the town.
Some of the most graphic images were compiled in a short video made by Ukraine to accompany President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s speech to the United Nations on Tuesday. To a soundtrack of somber music and the cries of children, the video showed close-ups of corpses and body parts.
Technical difficulties delayed its airing until well after Zelenskyy talked, giving networks like CNN and Fox News Channel that had aired the speech time to present it later in edited form. But MSNBC appeared to show it in full, leaving anchor Andrea Mitchell visibly shaken.
“That’s just horrific,” she said. “I don’t think the world has seen anything like it.”
Ukraine has a clear motivation to show the world what is happening, and journalists accompanied Zelenskyy on a visit to Bucha on Monday.
While television and the Internet give greater immediacy to war coverage, heart-wrenching images — and their potential to shape public opinion — are hardly new.
Harvard historian Drew Faust, author of “This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War,” noted that when Matthew Brady had an exhibit of his Civil War photographs in 1862, The New York Times wrote, “if he has not brought bodies and laid them in our dooryards and along the streets, he has done something very like it.”
When a memorable photo was circulated of a 5-year-old boy sitting dazed and bloodied after being rescued from a bombing in Aleppo, Syria in 2016, NPR asked in a headline, “Can one photo help end a war?”
It hasn’t yet.
A danger, too, is that in a world not easily shocked people will become numb to the pictures. That’s Faust’s fear, particularly as she expressed surprise that many people became strangely disconnected to the news of so many people dying of COVID-19.
As more communities are liberated from Russian rule, the number of ghastly images will almost certainly multiply.
“A little caution will be needed going forward so every news program doesn’t become a parade of horrible images,” said news consultant and retired NBC News executive Bill Wheatley.
Yet one of the surprises of this war, along with Ukraine’s ability to stave off a quick defeat, is the way Zelenskyy has been able to win the information battle and unite opposition in a way that was not anticipated. In that context, the images may help make a difference.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WLFI) — Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) is sponsoring a bill that he said will gradually rein-in the growth of federal spending, using flexible budget caps.
The bill uses a formula that fluctuates with the expansion or contraction of the US economy.
Braun said it could help balance the federal budget, excluding debt, in as little as 15 years.
It would require the Congressional Budget Office to give Congress a spending cap estimate at the beginning of every budget process.
Congress would then allocate funds according to that cap.

New York: The Chinese government should respect the right to health and other basic rights in its response to the
COVID-19 surge in the country,
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Wednesday.
Authorities in
Shanghai have imposed draconian lockdown measures since March that have impeded people's access to health care, food, and other life necessities, the New York-based watchdog noted. An unknown number of people have died after being denied medical treatment for their non-Covid related illnesses.
The authorities have separated small children from their parents after positive Covid-19 tests under the "Zero Covid" policy, which requires those testing positive to isolate in a hospital or designated facility. According to HRW, the authorities have hindered discussion of public concerns surrounding the Covid response by further tightening restrictions on social media.
"The Chinese government's '
Zero-Covid' approach to pandemic control by imposing stringent citywide lockdowns has resulted in the systematic denial of medical needs of people with serious but non-Covid related illnesses," said Yaqiu Wang, senior China researcher at Human Rights Watch. "Authorities should treat the health of citizens as the end goal, not a zero-Covid infection rate."
On April 3, the Chinese government announced the deployment of thousands of military personnel to Shanghai to assist in the mandatory testing of all 25 million residents for the virus that causes Covid-19. On April 4, Shanghai authorities said the city would indefinitely remain under lockdown - meaning that residents are not allowed to leave their homes - as it reviews results of the mass
Covid testing.
Numerous netizens took to Chinese social media to share stories of their or their loved ones being denied access to medical care for non-Covid related illnesses either due to hospitals being closed because of Covid-restrictions, or the lack of health care workers because they were quarantined or got diverted to administer Covid tests.
The rights watchdog said that Chinese officials denied some patients care because they had a Covid infection or they did not have proof of a negative Covid test.
Netizens have reported threats of self-harm or violence when family members were denied access to health care. The authorities have forcibly separated some children who tested positive from their parents to be quarantined in medical facilities.
So far, Shanghai authorities defended the policy, stating that anyone found positive - regardless of age - must be isolated from non-infected people, and that a parent can only be quarantined with their child if both are infected.
China's much-publicised 'zero-covid' strategy that the government credited for bringing the country out of the pandemic till recently is falling apart as the rapidly mounting cases are again forcing mass lockdowns like those seen in 2020. (ANI)

Courtney Young left her 21 jump-off rivals trailing in her wake to take the Blue Chip RLF Joint power title with a super-fast, daring early round on Maxine and Steve Locke’s Gwen Stefani Sho Z.
“This is my first Blue Chips Championships on horses and it is great to be back, it is one of my favourite shows,” said Courtney, who won the Blue Chip JC/JA and finished fifth in the Blue Chip Sparkle championship in 2017 with Fostymana VH Trichelhof.
Of the 85 competitors who tackled course-designer Paul Connor’s 12-fence Blue Chip power track, 22 returned but no-one turned quicker than second-drawn Courtney. She sealed the deal with a risky gallop to the final imposing Blue Chip oxer – a bogey for several chasing her time – but remained ahead to win by 0.53 sec.
Courtney, 19, who is based in Wickford, Essex, credits trainer Julian Mincher with her success.
“I’ve been training with Julian since last summer and he’s amazing, so much help and never puts any pressure on me and tells me to keep a nice rhythm and let the fences come to me,” she said.
The Belgian-bred seven-year-old mare Gwen Stefani was bought from Jamie Wingrove two years ago.
“She was very green and this was the first time she’d experienced a championship show atmosphere and I really didn’t expect to win but she took it in her stride,” added Courtney, who rides for Maxine and Steve Locke. “They are fabulous owners, I ride a lot of their horses.”

Turkey scraps Jamal Khashoggi murder trial and hands it over to Saudi Arabia – where case is likely to be covered up – as the country tries to build bridges with Riyadh among economic downturn
- Washington Post journalist Khashoggi was murdered in Saudi consulate in 2018
- Khashoggi's Turkish fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, said she will continue to seek justice
- The Istanbul court's decision comes despite warnings from human rights groups that turning the case over to the kingdom would lead to a cover up of the killing
A Turkish court has suspended the trial of 26 Saudi nationals accused of the gruesome killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and sent the case back to Saudi Arabia.
Washington Post journalist Khashoggi, a fierce critic of the Saudi regime and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed on 2 October 2018 while visiting the consulate in Istanbul to retrieve papers to prove he was divorced from his ex-wife in Saudi Arabia.
The former member of the Saudi royal family turned dissident had gone to the building in the Turkish capital to collect documents required for him to marry his Turkish fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, but was murdered and dismembered with a bone saw.
The group included a forensic doctor, intelligence and security officers and individuals who worked for the crown prince's office. His remains have not been found.
The Istanbul court's decision comes despite warnings from human rights groups that turning the case over to the kingdom would lead to a cover up of the killing, which has cast suspicion on the crown prince.
Turkey, which had vowed to shed light on the brutal killing, is in the throes of a deep economic downturn, has been trying to repair its troubled relationship with Saudi Arabia and an array of other countries in its region.
A Turkish court has suspended the trial of 26 Saudi nationals accused of the gruesome killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi (pictured in December 2014) and sent the case back to Saudi Arabia
Some media reports have claimed that Riyadh has made improved relations conditional on Turkey dropping the case, which had inflamed tensions between two countries.
A Saudi court convicted eight unnamed individuals over the murder in 2019, and Turkey began prosecuting the remaining defendants in absentia in 2020 after Saudi Arabia rejected requests for their extradition.
The defendants included two former aides of the prince.
Some of the men were put on trial in Riyadh behind closed doors. A Saudi court issued a final verdict in 2020 that sentenced five mid-level officials and operatives to 20-year jail terms.
The court had originally ordered the death penalty, but reduced the punishment after Khashoggi's son Salah, who lives in Saudi Arabia, announced that he forgave the defendants. Three others were sentenced to lesser jail terms.
Cengiz, Khashoggi's fiancée, said she would continue to seek justice.
'We will continue this [judicial] process with all the power given to me, as a Turkish citizen,' she said outside the Istanbul Çağlayan Justice Palace courthouse.
Cengiz, Khashoggi's fiancée, said she would continue to seek justice. 'We will continue this [judicial] process with all the power given to me, as a Turkish citizen,' she said, pictured outside the Istanbul Çağlayan Justice Palace courthouse
'The two countries may be making an agreement... they may be opening a new chapter... but the crime is still the same crime. The people who committed the crime haven't changed. Governments and states must have a principled stance, said Hatice Cengiz (pictured)
'The two countries may be making an agreement, the two countries may be opening a new chapter... but the crime is still the same crime,' she said.
'The people who committed the crime haven't changed. Governments and states must have a principled stance.'
Milena Buyum, Amnesty International's official for Turkey said the decision was an 'appalling and clearly political' one.
Last week, the prosecutor in the case recommended that it be transferred to the kingdom, arguing that the trial in Turkey would remain inconclusive.
Turkey's justice minister supported the recommendation, adding that the trial in Turkey would resume if the Turkish court is not satisfied with the outcome of proceedings in the kingdom.
It was not clear, however, if Saudi Arabia, which has already put some of the defendants on trial behind closed doors, would open a new trial.
The court ruled to halt the trial in line with the Justice Ministry's 'positive opinion,' the private DHA news agency reported.
Human rights advocates had urged Turkey not to transfer the case to Saudi Arabia, arguing that justice for Khashoggi would not be delivered by Saudi courts.
'It's a scandalous decision,' said Emma Sinclair-Webb, the Turkey director for the New York-based Human Rights Watch, adding that the court had 'rubber stamped' a political decision that would allow the government to repair its ties with Saudi Arabia.
Human rights advocates had urged Turkey not to transfer the case to Saudi Arabia, arguing that justice for Khashoggi would not be delivered by Saudi courts
'In the interest of realpolitik, Turkey is ready to sacrifice justice for an egregious crime on its own soil,' she told The Associated Press. '(The decision) opens the way for other countries to commit assassinations on Turkish territory and get away with it.'
At the time of the crime, Turkey apparently had the Saudi Consulate bugged and shared audio of the killing with the CIA, among others.
The slaying sparked international outrage and condemnation, with western intelligence agencies, as well as the US Congress, who said that an operation of such magnitude could not have happened without knowledge of the prince.
The move would pave the way to a resolution of disputes between the two regional heavyweights since the 2011 Arab Spring, including Turkey's support for Islamist movements like the Muslim Brotherhood, which Riyadh considers a terrorist group.
Turkey also sided with Qatar in a diplomatic dispute that saw Doha boycotted by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Good morning, Bay Area. It’s Thursday, April 7, and we’ve mapped out where every San Francisco supervisor stands on allowing cars on Golden Gate Park’s JFK Drive. Here’s what you need to know to start your day.
Patient lawsuit
When Tom and Truc-Co Jong’s daughter Ailee first told her parents about the pain in her stomach, they immediately sought out the best medical care for their toddler.
They chose John Muir Health, a health system in Contra Costa County, because the hospital had a partnership with Stanford and promised Stanford-quality care closer to their Danville home.
They never thought their 2-year-old would die on the operating table.
Reporters with The Chronicle reviewed medical records, handwritten notes, financial documents, state reports, coroner records, emails and other communications over several months. A former doctor at the hospital sued the practice in January, accusing them of putting money and prestige over patients.
Our investigation found that in the weeks before Ailee’s liver surgery, John Muir Health leaders were warned that the hospital was ill-prepared to perform such a specialized operation on a child.
Read more from Matthias Gafni and Cynthia Dizikes.
Best day ever
The Richmond District of San Francisco is rich with delightful pastry options, fresh sandwiches and memorable cocktails. That’s why The Chronicle’s Elena Kadvany and Esther Mobley sat down to plan a perfect itinerary for a day in this vibrant part of the city.
(If it sounds like too much eating, there are plenty of options to walk around — Lands’ End and Golden Gate Park are just short bus rides away. Though in my eyes, there’s no such thing.)
Plus, the Food + Wine Team has rounded up the brand-new restaurants to try right now around the Bay Area. The list includes a standout Korean American spot in Sonoma, a new Jewish deli inside a public market in Napa, and fresh Sonoran-style tortillas in Oakland.
• Not feeling the Richmond? We’ve mapped six other itineraries to explore around the Bay Area on less than a tank of gas.
Around the Bay
• Drought updates: A disappointing end to the wet season means California is in for even tighter water rules during the third year of drought.
• Car or pedestrian: In the coming weeks, San Francisco’s supervisors will decide whether to permanently bar vehicles from JFK Drive. Here’s where they stand on the proposal.
• Moving forward: After a prolonged battle over chain restaurants, S.F. taqueria favorite El Farolito is opening its North Beach location.
• Wanted: Sacramento police now say Sunday’s mass shooting was gang-related and involved at least five gunmen. And: Locals say the shooting only adds to downtown Sacramento’s COVID recovery challenges.
• Aftermath: Wildfires destroyed some Napa wineries, but rebuilding is proving to be another nightmare.
• Math feud: For years, teachers have argued over how to improve educational equity for K-12 students in math. The feud has devolved into accusations of racism and harassment between two professors at UC Berkeley and Stanford.
• Wild animal: A Northern California lawmaker is receiving rabies shots following a fox bite near the U.S. Capitol.
• The rankings: Fremont has been named the happiest city in America. How did it get there?
• Opinion: A wall of skyscrapers along Ocean Beach? It could happen if S.F. doesn’t stop bungling its planning process.
Opening Day
OK, so maybe it’s not quite day one of the season for the Giants. But can you blame Chronicle culture critic Peter Hartlaub for being excited?
To commemorate, Hartlaub has compiled all the starters for San Francisco’s baseball team from Antonelli to Zito, and dating back to when the team was based in New York.
And in case you missed it: Logan Webb set to take the mound for his first Opening Day start on Friday, the latest in an exciting year for the 25-year-old pitcher.

A fiercely contested attorney general’s race. A controversial criminal justice law. Growing concerns about localized crime.
And one mass shooting — two months before Election Day.
It all adds up to a highly combustible — and often misleading — battle over the politics of criminal justice reform in California at a time when concerns about crime are rising, even if the number of actual crimes aren’t in some places.
“The cheap, easy political thing to do is to say ‘Lock them up and throw away the key,’” Assemblymember Miguel Santiago, D-Los Angeles, said Wednesday during a press conference promoting policies on how to help people before they commit crimes.“You get a headline. It makes you feel good for a little bit. But that hasn't worked.”
“Decades of tough-on-crime policies created the situation that we're in today with the mass incarceration of people — (mostly) people of color and working class communities,” Santiago said.
But that hasn’t stopped conservatives mostly from reaching for the cheap, easy headline two months before the June 7 California primary. Here are some other ways that politics is shaping and shadowing the shooting:
Speaking too soon: Even though investigators are still gathering evidence, the California Republican Party described Sunday’s mass shooting that killed six and wounded 12 in downtown Sacramento — just blocks from the state Capitol — as “looking more and more like mass murder by an individual with an extensive criminal history across California.”
That’s not what Sacramento police are saying.
Investigators said Wednesday that the shooting was gang-related, and that they were seeking at least five people who fired guns during the shooting.
But that hasn’t stopped others from trying to pin the blame on what Republicans say are holes in the criminal justice system.
Assemblyman James Gallagher, the top Republican in the Assembly, pointed to how one of the three men arrested in connection with the shooting, Smiley Martin, 27 — the brother of the first man arrested on Monday, 26-year-old Dandrae Martin — had been serving a 10-year sentence in state prison that was handed down in January 2018. Smiley Martin, who pleaded guilty to two felony assault charges, was released after pre- and post-sentencing credits were applied, according to the state parole board, a practice that corrections officials do not consider “early release” as Gallagher and others have suggested.
“This was a violent felon with a long rap sheet who should have been in prison. If he was, this tragedy might have been avoided,” Gallagher said Tuesday.
Given the evidence released publicly by investigators as of Wednesday afternoon — a day after Gallagher made that statement — it’s impossible to definitely pin the tragedy on any one person.
Then again, as Santiago said, it’s easier to grab a cheap headline rather than wait for definitive proof. Especially two months from Election Day.
When parole isn’t parole: The shooting is already turning the spotlight onto — and will likely increase the name recognition of — Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, a Republican-turned-independent who is running for attorney general against two Republicans and Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta.
Schubert’s office wrote a letter to the Board of Parole Hearings last year urging it not to release Smiley Martin. It pointed to his rap sheet that stretched back nine years and said, “he has no respect for others, for law enforcement or for the law. If he is released early, he will continue to break the law.”
The California Republican Party, in a press release Tuesday, characterized this as Smiley Martin being “let out of state prison early by (Democrat Gov. Gavin) Newsom’s parole board, over the strenuous documented objections of the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office.”
The state GOP wondered if Newsom will “condemn his appointees who have blood on their hands, as do those who voted for and promoted policies that resulted in this nationally reported act of senseless violence.”
Maybe Newsom would condemn the state parole board — if it had let Smiley Martin out on parole. But it didn’t.
The parole board denied his release last May. He was cut loose in February on probation, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Officials said he was released after amassing pre-sentencing credits of 508 days and the application of post sentencing credits for good conduct.
Besides, it is not as though California’s parole board is a soft touch. The Prison Policy Initiative, which advocates for criminal justice reform, said only 18% of parole hearings resulted in the parole being granted between 2009-2016, one of the lowest marks in the nation. The organization gave California’s parole release system an “F” — its lowest grade in 2019, its most recent rating.
Blaming Proposition 57: In 2016, 64% of California voters supported Proposition 57, a ballot measure that enabled prisoners to be eligible to be considered for parole once they have served their sentence for a nonviolent felony. Two years ago, 62% of voters rejected Proposition 20, which would have gutted key provisions of Prop. 57 and Prop. 47, another reform measure loathed by Republicans.
Nevertheless, Schubert has made Proposition 57 a centerpiece of her campaign. While she has been quick to offer support for the victims of Sunday’s shooting and has not commented on the details of the active and fast-moving case, she has used her moment in the spotlight to talk about how the measure “allows people to get out sooner,” as she told radio station KMJ this week.
“If you start letting dangerous people out of prison early, without adequate rehabilitation, that is a recipe for disaster,” Schubert told the station.
Keep in mind: Proposition 57 is focused on nonviolent offenders. The state Supreme Court even ruled earlier this year that it cannot be applied to violent criminals.
Solutions beyond jail: Not everyone is looking to throw away the key. On Wednesday, Santiago, the Los Angeles legislator, was among a group of state legislators, Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg and criminal justice advocates including Californians for Safety and Justice, announcing their support for a proposed $3 billion package of statewide programs aimed at aiding victims and addressing the root causes of crime.
The ideas include $210 million for victims services and $200 million to help people exiting the prison system so they don’t become repeat offenders.
Carlos Marquez, executive director of the Executive Director of ACLU California Action, said the package of proposed services reminded him of something that the Rev. Desmond Tutu, the South African human rights activist once said.
“There comes a point when we need to stop pulling people out of the river and we need to go upstream and find out why they're being thrown in the river in the first place,” Marquez said.
Statistics versus feelings: Crime will continue to be a dominant theme in California’s campaigns this year for a simple reason: Voters are concerned about it in their neighborhoods.
While statistics show that robbery and rape decreased in the state in 2020, homicides spiked by 30% and aggravated assaults increased 7.5%, according to the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California.
In four of the state’s biggest cities — San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and San Diego, violent crime and property crime increased in 2020, according to preliminary figures.
But while other statistics show crime has decreased, perhaps the most important stat — politically — is what another PPIC poll showed: 65% of voters say crime and violence is a problem in their neighborhood.

Future of carbon credits the lead topic at key post-COP26 event held in Taiwan
TAIPEI, April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Net zero, low carbon and responsible governance have become core issues that can no longer pushed aside by the international community. On March 2022, Business Today, a Taiwan-based financial journal which has long focused on the connection between ESG and industry, held the 2nd ESG & Sustainability Taiwan International Summit. More than 350 government and industry leaders participated in the event, including officials from the Financial Supervisory Commission and the Bureau of Energy, Ministry of Economic Affairs. Taiwan president Tsai Ing-Wen delivered a speech at the forum.
President Tsai Ing-Wen said in her speech that the Net-Zero 2050 target is not only a challenge for the world, but also for Taiwan. She stressed that despite a number of tough challenges, it behooves Taiwan to boost its net-zero transformation by way of a four-pronged approach: first, research into new energy sources such as hydrogen and forward-looking green energy must be undertaken to maintain the energy transition; second, industrial transformation from process optimization to the use of renewable energy must be accelerated to meet changing market conditions; third, a transition to low-carbon public buildings and net-zero emission transportation is a necessary lifestyle change that must be adopted; and fourth, fairness is a must for public engagement in society transformation.
The summit also invited global experts to present an ESG development roadmap to corporate leaders and investors. Key speakers included Robert N. Stavins, A. J. Meyer Professor of Energy & Economic Development, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, who spoke about his insights into post-COP26 climate policies, and Todd Cort, co-director at Yale Center for Business and the Environment, who elaborated on the carbon trading market after COP26. The two speeches were delivered online.
From the standpoint of financial companies, Wing Fung Financial Group chairman Sih-Kuan Chen pointed out that Climate Action has emerged as the most widespread global consensus of all time, and that companies need to integrate four "imperatives" into their net-zero strategies: compliance, optimization, reinvention and leadership. Wing Fung is committed to realizing net-zero emission goals from operations by 2030 and from the whole asset portfolio by 2050.
Ying-Chou Chen, head of Sustainability Services Group, Deloitte & Touche, said that there are two ways to cope with climate change: on the one hand by operational procedures and/or production facilities are modified to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while, at the same time, energy efficiency is enhanced by developing new carbon reduction technologies, on the other hand, by taken precautionary measures to protect the enterprise from the impact of climate change in the future.
China Petrochemical Development Corporation (CPDC) chairman Ruey-Long Chen noted that in response to future industrial demand, the priority of the current existing green power supply should be to improve carbon output from the process side and upgrade existing equipment to reduce energy consumption. He further added that the amount of water vapor being used by the petrochemical industry is excessive, and that its use should be curtailed or even cut to zero.
Alex Araujo, fund manager of global equities at M&G Investment, mentioned that the influx of money into sustainability funds has led to an overvaluation of clean and renewable energy businesses, and, should the current boom falter, investors are likely to face huge losses.
Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) president Hsiu-Ming Lin pointed out that TDCC is the world's first IR platform to provide ESG ratings of individual and institutional investors, a measure that has become highly valued by foreign investors. The platform has become one of the region's key ESG data sources.
Taiwan Housing Group president Pei-Ye Peng said that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) act as the backbone of Taiwan's economy, and what they can bring to the table is something we need to think about. Taiwan Housing is now promoting a 10-year tree-planting initiative, as a way of demonstrating to employees that the company they work for is operating with a long-term perspective.
Pension Fund Association chairperson Professor Li-Ling Wang noted that the ESG investment market has continued to expand and that, post pandemic, investors have been paying more attention to ESG. Over 90% of large institutional investors and pension funds have increased their ESG investments, showing the importance of ESG in future investing decisions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A compromise $10 billion measure buttressing the government’s COVID-19 defenses has stalled in the Senate and seemed all but certainly sidetracked for weeks, victim of a campaign-season fight over the incendiary issue of immigration.
There was abundant finger-pointing Wednesday but no signs the two parties were near resolving their stalemate over a bipartisan pandemic bill that President Joe Biden and top Democrats wanted Congress to approve this week. With Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., prioritizing the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson by week’s end — quite possibly Thursday — the COVID-19 bill seemed sure to slip at least until Congress returns after a two-week recess.
A day earlier, the GOP blocked the Senate from even beginning debate on the bill, which would increase funding for COVID-19 treatments, vaccines and testing. Republicans were demanding that Democrats allow a vote on an amendment preserving immigration curbs imposed by President Donald Trump that the Biden administration is slated to end on May 23.
“Why did Republicans say no? Because they wanted to cripple COVID funding legislation with poison pills that they knew would derail this bill,” Schumer said Wednesday.
Schumer and a team of GOP negotiators led by Utah Sen. Mitt Romney struck a deal Monday on the pandemic bill. Democrats say Republicans are walking away from that agreement.
“The question we have is whether Republicans are acting in good faith to provide the resources we need to save American lives, or if they’re just playing politics,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. “The virus is not waiting for Republicans in Congress to get their act together.”
While there would likely be at least the 10 GOP votes needed to push the pandemic bill through the 50-50 Senate, overall Republican support for it is tepid. And the GOP’s effort to refocus the fight to immigration — an issue that polls show hurts Biden — has clearly put Democrats on the defensive.
A vote on extending the immigration restrictions would expose Democratic senators, especially those facing tight reelections in November, to dangerous fissures. Liberal immigration advocates want Biden to erase the curbs, but doing that is expected to prompt an explosion of migrants entering the U.S. from Mexico that could trigger a voter backlash.
“We can win it,” No. 2 Senate GOP leader John Thune of South Dakota said about a potential immigration vote. “They’ve got a number of Democrats who are for it. But their leadership is adamantly opposed, I would say hostile to the idea” of a vote.
When the pandemic was full-blown in 2020, Trump began letting authorities immediately expel asylum seekers and other migrants, citing the threat to public health. COVID-19’s intensity has since waned in the U.S., though BA.2, a new omicron variant, is beginning to spread widely here.
Even GOP supporters of the pandemic bill say Democrats must resolve the legislative roadblock.
“They’re in the majority. And the administration says they need this money. And I actually agree with the administration,” said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., who helped negotiate the package. “And the majority has to figure out how to get this done.”
Among Democrats who favor retaining the immigration restrictions for now is Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, who is facing reelection. He and several others cite a need for federal officials to gear up staffing and facilities to handle the expected influx of migrants.
“I have not seen a plan for how the administration will deal with what I think is a pretty predictable surge on the border,” he said Wednesday in a brief interview.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., declined to discuss what she would do if the Senate sent her chamber a pandemic measure that also extended Trump’s immigration strictures.
“Is that even something that the Senate would do?” she told a reporter. “When they send something, I’ll let you know what we would do with it.”
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., bristled when asked why Democrats wouldn’t simply accept the immigration restrictions as the price for winning the pandemic spending Biden says is needed.
“Your premise is whatever they put in there, take,” Hoyer said. “Uh uh, we’re not going to play that game.”
That reflects a Democratic view that the Republican effort to force an immigration vote is all about setting a political trap.
“Trust me, this is one of the pillars of their reelection campaign, immigration,” said No. 2 Senate Democratic leader Richard Durbin of Illinois. “The numbers appearing at our border are a real challenge, and I’m sure they’re going to make an issue of it.”

Great ideas for free and budget days out for all the family this Easter
Cash strapped parents are being encouraged to hunt out free and budget days out for children during the Easter break.
The frugal team at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk have put together their guide on fun things to do with the kids without breaking the bank.
They suggest checking out free activities close to home as well as making use of the great outdoors.
Rainy day trips include visits to local galleries and libraries or spending a few hours baking up tasty treats.
John Stirzkaer, from NetVoucherCodes.co.uk, said: “Keeping the kids occupied during the Easter break can be expensive and with Britons feeling the pinch right now, free activities will be top of the list for mums and dads.
“There are some very easy things you can do locally - taking the kids out for a walk, a day at the park or a game of football with a group of friends are all ideal for sunny days.
“If the weather’s bad, try a trip to a museum or art gallery - lots of these will offer free entry and are likely to have activities for the children.
“Watching the pennies over the Easter holiday just means being a little more creative and making the most of everything you have around you.”
Here are NetVoucherCodes.co.uk’s tips for a budget Easter break:
Take a walk
You’ll be amazed at what’s available on your doorstep. Search online for local walks and woods that you probably didn’t even know about.
Easter nature hunt
For little ones, print off a nature scavenger hunt to take on any walks. This will keep them entertained as you wander.
Visit the park
Head to the park for a free few hours. Kids love all the play equipment. Take a football and a picnic and you have a great day out.
Meet up with friends
Instead of a play date at soft play, try hosting them at home. If it’s a sunny day, the kids can have a run in the garden.
City farm
If you live in a city, there’s bound to be a city farm you can visit. These are often run by charitable organisations or volunteers so no hefty entry fees. Some will simply ask for a donation.
Veggie patch
If you’ve got the green-fingered bug, create a vegetable patch for the children. You can do these in troughs or pots too. Opt for quick-growing varieties like cress, lettuce, radishes and spinach.
Go on a bike ride
If you all have bikes, pack up a picnic and get going. If it’s sunny, remember to take the sunscreen too and plenty to drink so you don’t have to stop off.
Museum visit
See what your local museum has on over the holidays. They'll often have special activities for the children or exhibits they’ll enjoy. Many are free so check before you head off.
Local library
The local library can be a treasure trove for great books and activities. See what’s on near you for a fun-filled few hours.
Squirt gun painting
Grab some huge pieces of paper, a squirt gun filled with watercolours and fire. You’ll be amazed at the artwork you create.
Head to the kitchen
If it’s wet outside, spend a few hours making and decorating Easter biscuits or cupcakes. There are plenty of recipes online - and you’ll have a tasty treat for later in the day.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Every day someone comes out of their home or business and starts up their vehicle — only to hear a rumbling in the engine that gets louder when they hit the gas. Check underneath, and there’s a gaping hole where the catalytic converter used to be.
“It’s painful to see people who can’t pay their bills, and now they can’t drive their car to work,” Det. Josh Gilbert of Groveport police said. “There are so many people stealing catalytic converters that we take a report every day.”
Police: $1.7 million in catalytic converters allegedly stolen from Ohioans
When Gilbert began looking into catalytic converter thefts, he didn’t anticipate that he’d find such a pervasive crime.
His investigations led to the indictment of Tommy Cox Jr. and five other people on 90 felonies, where they are accused of engaging in corrupt activity, receiving stolen property, possession of criminal tools, theft, weapons under disability, and money laundering.
Gilbert said he found evidence that Cox scrapped a little more than 1,100 catalytic converters for more than $480,000 in cash. Investigation into catalytic converter thefts spread over five counties.
“$1.7 million was the loss to society. That’s a low estimate,” Gilbert said. “We executed 20 search warrants in this case, and we believe we have the evidence to prosecute this as engaging in a corrupt activity.”
Cox, who is held on a $4 million bond, has pleaded not guilty in Franklin County Court of Common Pleas.
Proposal: ban catalytic converter sales unless entire car scrapped
On Wednesday, Gilbert testified to an Ohio House committee, advocating for new penalties for catalytic converter thieves.
Language in House Bill 408, sponsored by Bob Young (R-Green), would make theft of a catalytic converter a fourth-degree felony. If the offender is a business, it would be fined between $10,000 to $50,000.
The legislation would categorize a catalytic converter as a “special purchase article,” Young said in a news release. This means any scrap metal dealer, bulk merchandise dealer, or any other entity purchasing such items “obtain from the seller or provider of the special purchase article or bulk merchandise container proof that the seller or provider owns the special purchase article or bulk merchandise container.”
There are no labels on converters, so this bill would essentially ban their sale unless the person is scrapping an entire car, the release said.
Cash for stolen converter? It’s on the app
There is a scrapyard whose workers will drive to Columbus to pick up catalytic converters and will hand over cash and drive back to the yard, Gilbert said.
“A personal vehicle, depending on the make and model, a scrap yard will pay $500 to $600 — but you’d get $1,600 for a box truck. But they still hit personal vehicles,” he said about the thieves.
Rhodium makes the catalytic converters so attractive. The metal sold for $696 per ounce in 2016. Now the price is $18,000 an ounce, Young said on a website explaining HB 408.
There are also apps that thieves download to check prices for stolen catalytic converters, targeting certain makes and models, Gilbert said. The problem is there is no link between the victim and suspect.
“Catalytic converters have no identifiable VIN numbers, so it’s not linked back to a particular car,” he said.
Now he hopes HB 408 will stop catalytic converter thieves in their tracks, relegating that type of crime into the history of central Ohio.
“Law enforcement and criminal justice — we always have to adapt to the crimes,” Gilbert said. “Ten years ago when A/C units were cut off people’s homes, we regulated the scrapping of copper.”

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Navy that once wanted smaller, speedy warships to chase down pirates has made a speedy pivot to Russia and China — and many of those recently built ships could be retired.
The U.S. Navy wants to decommission nine ships in the Freedom-class of littoral combat ships — warships that cost about $4.5 billion to build.
The Navy contends in its budget proposal that the move would free up $50 million per ship annually for other priorities. But it would also reduce the size of the fleet that’s already surpassed by China in sheer numbers, something that could cause members of Congress to balk.
Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of naval operations, defended the proposal that emphasizes long-range weapons and modern warships, while shedding other ships ill equipped to face current threats.
“We need a ready, capable, lethal force more than we need a bigger force that’s less ready, less lethal, and less capable,” he said Monday at the Navy League's Sea-Air-Space symposium in Maryland.
All told, the Navy wants to scrap 24 ships, including five cruisers and a pair of Los Angeles-class submarines, as part of its cost-cutting needed to maintain the existing fleet and build modern warships. Those cuts surpass the proposed nine ships to be built.
Most of them are older vessels. However, the littoral combat ships that are targeted are young. The oldest of them is 10 years old.
The littoral combat ship program was announced after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The ships topped 50 mph (80 kph) — fast enough to chase down pirates — and were highly maneuverable, even in shallow water, thanks to steerable waterjets instead of propellers.
The ships were supposed to be made versatile through plug-and-play mission modules for surface combat, mine-sweeping operations or anti-submarine warfare. But those mission modules were beset by problems, and the anti-submarine capability was canceled in the new budget.
And what about that speed? The fastest ship can’t outrun missiles, and firing up those marine turbines for an extra burst of speed turned the ships into gas guzzlers, analysts said. Early versions also were criticized as too lightly armed and armored to survive combat.
The speedy Freedom-class ships proposed for decommissioning feature a traditional steel hull. That entire class of ships suffers from a propulsion defect that will be costly repair. The Navy proposes keeping a second variant, the aluminum Independence class.
U.S. Senate Armed Services Chair Jim Inhofe said the program was plagued by troubles from the start, and that “moving forward the Navy must avoid similar acquisition disasters.”
U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Virginia, was more blunt, tweeting that it “sucks” to be decommissioning so many ships, especially newer ones.
“The Navy owes a public apology to American taxpayers for wasting tens of billions of dollars on ships they now say serve no purpose,” she said.
Some detractors proclaimed littoral combat ships to be the Navy’s “Little Crappy Ship,” but that’s not fair, said defense analyst Loren Thompson.
“It’s not a little crappy ship. It does what it was supposed to do. What it was supposed to do isn’t enough for the kind of threats that we face today,” said Thompson, from the Lexington Institute.
In the Navy’s defense, threats shifted swiftly from the Cold War to the war on terror to the current Great Power Competition in which Russia and China are asserting themselves, he said.
In the end, the Navy may be content with smaller numbers of Freedom-class ships for maritime security and small surface combatant operations, said Bryan Clark, defense analyst at the Hudson Institute.
Congress must sign off on the Navy's proposal to decommission ships ahead of their projected service life.
The House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday grilled Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Army Gen. Mark Milley, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on the proposal.
U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Virginia, suggested the ship cuts were “grossly irresponsible” when the U.S. Navy has dipped from 318 ships to 297, while the Chinese fleet has grown from 210 to 360 ships over the past two decades.
Milley said it's important to focus on the Navy's capabilities rather than the size of its fleet.
“I would bias towards capability rather than just sheer numbers,” he said.

Wales head coach Ioan Cunningham has made five changes to the side that have started their Six Nations campaign with back-to-back wins.
His side, who have come from behind against both Ireland and Scotland, now face England at Kingsholm on Saturday.
After an impressive display off the bench against Ireland, scoring two tries, Donna Rose will start at loosehead prop. Sisilia Tuipulotu has been handed her first international start, alongside fellow Gloucester-Hartpury lock Gwen Crabb.

Captain Siwan Lillicrap will move over to the blindside flank, with Sioned Harries starting at No. 8. Ffion Lewis, who scored last time out against Scotland, will start alongside Robyn Wilkins in a new look half-back pairing.
On his team selection, Cunningham said: “These players are all deserving of their places, whether they are starting or on the bench. Every player has a key role to play, as we saw against Ireland and Scotland.
“We are proud of the way we came back to win both our first two games but we must start better and get our penalty count down. They are two of our work-ons plus we need to convert any scoring opportunities.
“The players train and play with and against the England players week-in, week-out so while we respect the side, there is familiarity, not fear. We are looking forward to playing at Gloucester. Ten of our matchday squad are Gloucester-Hartpury players and it will be fantastic to play in front of a huge crowd there which will hopefully include some Welsh voices too.”
Cunningham added: “We are excited by this big challenge against the number one team in the world. On average, they are scoring about eight tries a match, so we are in no doubt about the extent of the task.
“However, we want to compete with the best teams in the world so this is a great opportunity for us to test ourselves and progress.”
Meanwhile, England head coach Simon Middleton has made eight changes to the team that thrashed Italy 74-0 last time out. Jess Breach is back in the side for the first time since May 2021. Lucy Packer is also set to make her first international start at scrum half.
Middleton said: “We’re pleased with our performances to date and this weekend provides another opportunity for other players to step up. Wales’ new contracts have galvanised and lifted their group and that’s shown in the nature of their performances and two wins out of two to date.
“They have looked well organised and have finished strong in both games, that’s testimony to the work Ioan and his staff group have put in and of course the attitude of the players. It’s great to see and makes for a top-class game and a stadium that will be bouncing.”
Up to 12,000 tickets are reported to have been sold for Saturday’s clash.
England: Abby Dow; Jess Breach, Emily Scarratt, 12. Helena Rowland, Sarah McKenna; Zoe Harrison, Lucy Packer; Vickii Cornborough, Lark Davies, Sarah Bern, Poppy Cleall, Abbie Ward, Alex Matthews, Marlie Packer, Sarah Hunter.
Replacements: Connie Powell, Maud Muir, Shaunagh Brown, Rosie Galligan, Vicky Fleetwood, Natasha Hunt, Amber Reed, Ellie Kildunne.
Wales: Kayleigh Powell; Lisa Neumann, Hannah Jones, Kerin Lake, Jasmine Joyce; Robyn Wilkins, Ffion Lewis; Gwenllian Pyrs, Carys Phillips, Donna Rose, Sisilia Tuipulotu, Gwen Crabb, Siwan Lillicrap, Alisha Butchers, Sioned Harries.
Replacements: Kelsey Jones, Cara Hope, Cerys Hale, Alex Callender, Bethan Lewis, Keira Bevan, Elinor Snowsill, Natalia John.

Speaking to Siasat.com, N Prakash Reddy, DCP Traffic said that the department is in deliberations with vendors on the type and quality of the drones that are best fit for serving the department’s purpose. “It will take around 3 more months for the drones to start performing in real-time,” he said.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Navy that once wanted smaller, speedy warships to chase down pirates has made a speedy pivot to Russia and China — and many of those recently built ships could be retired.
The U.S. Navy wants to decommission nine ships in the Freedom-class of littoral combat ships — warships that cost about $4.5 billion to build.
The Navy contends in its budget proposal that the move would free up $50 million per ship annually for other priorities. But it would also reduce the size of the fleet that’s already surpassed by China in sheer numbers, something that could cause members of Congress to balk.
Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of naval operations, defended the proposal that emphasizes long-range weapons and modern warships, while shedding other ships ill equipped to face current threats.
“We need a ready, capable, lethal force more than we need a bigger force that’s less ready, less lethal, and less capable,” he said Monday at the Navy League's Sea-Air-Space symposium in Maryland.
All told, the Navy wants to scrap 24 ships, including five cruisers and a pair of Los Angeles-class submarines, as part of its cost-cutting needed to maintain the existing fleet and build modern warships. Those cuts surpass the proposed nine ships to be built.
Most of them are older vessels. However, the littoral combat ships that are targeted are young. The oldest of them is 10 years old.
The littoral combat ship program was announced after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The ships topped 50 mph (80 kph) — fast enough to chase down pirates — and were highly maneuverable, even in shallow water, thanks to steerable waterjets instead of propellers.
The ships were supposed to be made versatile through plug-and-play mission modules for surface combat, mine-sweeping operations or anti-submarine warfare. But those mission modules were beset by problems, and the anti-submarine capability was canceled in the new budget.
And what about that speed? The fastest ship can’t outrun missiles, and firing up those marine turbines for an extra burst of speed turned the ships into gas guzzlers, analysts said. Early versions also were criticized as too lightly armed and armored to survive combat.
The speedy Freedom-class ships proposed for decommissioning feature a traditional steel hull. That entire class of ships suffers from a propulsion defect that will be costly repair. The Navy proposes keeping a second variant, the aluminum Independence class.
U.S. Senate Armed Services Chair Jim Inhofe said the program was plagued by troubles from the start, and that “moving forward the Navy must avoid similar acquisition disasters.”
U.S. Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Virginia, was more blunt, tweeting that it “sucks” to be decommissioning so many ships, especially newer ones.
“The Navy owes a public apology to American taxpayers for wasting tens of billions of dollars on ships they now say serve no purpose,” she said.
Some detractors proclaimed littoral combat ships to be the Navy’s “Little Crappy Ship,” but that’s not fair, said defense analyst Loren Thompson.
“It’s not a little crappy ship. It does what it was supposed to do. What it was supposed to do isn’t enough for the kind of threats that we face today,” said Thompson, from the Lexington Institute.
In the Navy’s defense, threats shifted swiftly from the Cold War to the war on terror to the current Great Power Competition in which Russia and China are asserting themselves, he said.
In the end, the Navy may be content with smaller numbers of Freedom-class ships for maritime security and small surface combatant operations, said Bryan Clark, defense analyst at the Hudson Institute.
Congress must sign off on the Navy's proposal to decommission ships ahead of their projected service life.
The House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday grilled Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Army Gen. Mark Milley, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on the proposal.
U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Virginia, suggested the ship cuts were “grossly irresponsible” when the U.S. Navy has dipped from 318 ships to 297, while the Chinese fleet has grown from 210 to 360 ships over the past two decades.
Milley said it's important to focus on the Navy's capabilities rather than the size of its fleet.
“I would bias towards capability rather than just sheer numbers,” he said.

UK looking at extra military aid for Ukraine as Russian attacks continue
The UK is set to step up the supply of arms to Ukraine after Kyiv pleaded for greater firepower to fight back against the Russian invasion.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK is “certainly looking at what more military assistance we can give” as Nato allies considered how to bolster Ukraine’s resistance.
Ukrainian generals have visited the UK to see some of the kit that could potentially be offered, including armoured vehicles which could offer troops protection from Russian attack as they move around the war zone.
Mr Johnson said Vladimir Putin’s forces have engaged in a “systematic slaughter of innocent people” in Ukraine and the world is now overwhelmingly on the side of Kyiv.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the UK is “stepping up” the supply of arms, as she joined Nato counterparts in Brussels to hear the demands from Ukraine for more equipment.
Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg acknowledged that Ukraine urgently needs more weapons as he appeared alongside Kyiv’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba.
He said he is “certain that we will address the need” for more air defence systems, anti-tank missiles and “heavier weapons”.
The Czech Republic has reportedly sent Soviet-era tanks and personnel carriers to Ukraine, and The Times suggested the UK is also drawing up plans to supply armoured vehicles to help resist Russian forces.
“In the face of Putin’s appalling aggression in Ukraine, the G7 and Nato are stepping up our efforts on sanctions and on weapons,” Ms Truss said at Nato headquarters.
“The UK is now banning all imports of Russian energy, we are sanctioning more banks, and we are stepping up our supply of weapons to Ukraine.”
Nato allies fear that Russia’s decision to withdraw from areas around Kyiv will allow Mr Putin to concentrate his offensive in Ukraine’s east.
Mr Kuleba told reporters at the alliance’s headquarters: “My agenda is very simple, it has only three items on it: weapons, weapons and weapons.
“We are confident that the best way to help Ukraine now is to provide it with all necessary (weapons) to contain Putin and to defeat the Russian army in the territory of Ukraine so the war does not spill over further.”
He suggested that an increased supply of arms could help prevent further atrocities such as the slaughter of civilians in the town of Bucha, close to Kyiv.
“The more weapons we get and the sooner they arrive in Ukraine, the more human lives will be saved, the more cities and villages will not be destroyed, and there will be no more Buchas,” he said.
“I call on all allies to put aside their hesitation, their reluctance, to provide Ukraine with everything it needs because, as weird as it may sound today, weapons serve the purpose of peace.”
According to The Times, options under consideration at the Ministry of Defence include sending Mastiff or Jackal patrol vehicles to Ukraine.
The UK is already supplying equipment including anti-tank and anti-air missiles to Ukraine’s armed forces.
Ukraine’s deputy defence minister, Volodymyr Havrylov, and senior military officers visited the UK this week to examine the equipment that might be available to them – including protected mobility vehicles.
Armed forces minister James Heappey said: “It was an honour to show Minister Havrylov and his generals the kit the UK hopes to provide next and to discuss some new weapons that have been trialled recently with UK forces.”
The latest Ministry of Defence intelligence assessment confirmed Russia is now focused on operations in the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine.
“Russian artillery and air strikes continue along the Donbas line of control,” the MoD said.
“Russian strikes against infrastructure targets within the Ukrainian interior are likely intended to degrade the ability of the Ukrainian military to resupply and increase pressure on the Ukrainian government.
“Despite refocusing forces and logistics capabilities to support operations in the Donbas, Russian forces are likely to continue facing morale issues and shortages of supplies and personnel.”
