Arizona Supreme Court reinstates massive income tax cuts
By BOB CHRISTIE
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Supreme Court says the state’s voters do not have the right to reject a massive income tax cut approved by the Republican-controlled legislature last year. Thursday’s decision means a nearly $2 billion cut that mainly benefits the wealthy is in effect. The high court overturned a lower court judge who sided with education advocates who collected enough signatures under the state’s referendum law to block them from taking effect until voters could weigh in November. But the Supreme Court agreed with the low-tax advocacy group the Arizona Free Enterprise Club’s argument that the tax cut law falls within an exemption to the state constitution blocking referendums if the law affects the “support and maintenance” of the government.

DANVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — The music started and more than 120 people stood up from their seats Thursday night to participate in what was billed as the Indiana’s largest musical chairs competition.
Hendricks County Senior Services’ first-of-its-kind event happened at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds. Participants tried to be the last person sitting while a DJ played some music. Others enjoyed a pretty nice spread of food and drinks.
Organizers tell News 8 that not only was the competition a fundraiser but also a way to celebrate having in-person events as the coronavirus pandemic wanes.
Helee Adkins, development coordinator for Hendricks County Senior Services, “It started because we needed more comfy and safe chairs for our seniors. We had a fundraiser right before the pandemic and we said, ‘Let’s celebrate now that we’re back together again and showcase our new chairs.’”
Event organizers aren’t sitting on their hands; they hope to have similar events in the future.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Problems with the Internal Revenue Service means tax season is getting more and more difficult. Now lawmakers are looking at ways to fix the agency’s issues.
A massive backlog of millions of tax filings is plaguing the IRS. Rep. Gerry Connolly led a hearing on Thursday to discuss the ongoing issues.
“As we head into this year’s tax season, the IRS often finds itself gasping for air,” Connolly, D-Va., said.
Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., says the delay hurts Americans.
“This is not an abstract issue. Families need their tax refunds to pay their rent. Small businesses need their refunds to keep their doors open,” Porter said.
IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig says the agency is simply understaffed and underfunded.
“Our operation support is down $100 million. That’s real money,” Rettig said.
Republicans and Democrats have very different ideas about how to solve the problems.
Many Democratic lawmakers want to give the IRS more money.
“One no brainer is to support the $80 billion investment in the IRS within President [Joe] Biden’s Made in America tax plan,” Connolly said.
However, Republicans like Rep. Jody Hice of Georgia, are against funneling money into an agency they think lacks oversight.
“Absolutely no. Republicans are not willing to simply give the IRS more money on a long term basis without any accountability,” Hice said.
Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., is advocating for even more drastic measures.
“It’s time we reform the system and eliminate the IRS once and for all,” Clyde said.
Some argue putting more resources into the IRS would mean ultimately earning more in tax revenue.
“Every dollar invested in enforcement would return 5 additional dollars in additional revenue collected,” Porter said.

Atlanta is in the midst of a European rap tour, not to mention an extended existential question about whether the events depicted in the show are actually taking part in its characters’ previously established reality. In other words, it’s not even within glancing distance of your standard sitcom. But even if you’ve never seen the show or don’t consider the 30-minute-drama-with-laughs your thing, “White Fashion” is a great piece of standalone television about modern pop culture, a sharp and occasionally savage takedown of cultural co-opters and what you might call the social-justice-industrial complex. It’s a deep and thorough excoriation of empty signifiers and how big money tends to end up solving problems for about the same percentage of people who don’t really need it.
Atlanta has taken on the co-opting of Black culture before, but not so comprehensively as in this episode, 33 minutes packed with ideas and melancholy-but-precise comic moments. The main premise: The crew is in London, and Esco Esco, an LVMH-style luxury brand that incorporates streetwear, is embroiled in a race-related controversy and needs Paper Boi to help bail them out with some good PR. (Their funny/horrifying signature item is a Central Park Five shirt styled like a sports jersey, with a 5 in the appropriate numerical spot.) He’s been asked to serve on their “diversity advisory committee,” which will be introduced to the press that afternoon. (Bryan Tyree Henry gets another good showcase in this episode, starting with the scene of him ordering lunch, then negotiating three years of free clothes—he’s fearsomely funny.)
In a scene that’s heavy but deftly directed, Al is being fitted for a custom suit, and Earn is concerned this is an “Uncle Tom photo op.” He urges Al to suggest the company do something sustainable, to reinvest in Black communities and mind “the streets,” while Al tells him to get off the high horse: “Fuck the streets,” he says. “I’ve shot people.” We work hard; take all the free samples possible, he suggests.
Atlanta has introduced its share of memorable guest stars this season, and it’s here that the show unveils a character as specific in type as Socks and Wiley were amorphous—Khalil, an “activist/writer/foodie” who has refined himself into sort of a professional brand cleaner for racially related missteps. At the press event, the satire edges close going overly broad. (“Is this your first time apologizing for white people?” Khalil asks Al. “The dinners are amazing. I haven’t paid for a meal in 73 police shootings.” Then, a reporter asks Paper Boi if this campaign will end racism.) But the heavy strokes paint a clear picture: There isn’t anything subtle about systemic racism or clumsy corporate attempts to profit from it. Fisayo Akinade is spot-on as the obnoxious influencer. And the way this episode wraps, the tone fits.
The actual “diversity advisory committee” meeting almost takes us to Dr. Strangelove satirical heights: Every member is primarily eager to line their own pockets and closets, suggesting the fashion brand buy thousands of copies of a book they’ve written (a likely nod to the former Baltimore mayor’s scandal), hook up their self-serving organization, or just buy them shoes. Al, of course, wants to actually help Black people and proposes Earn’s idea about a campaign to reinvest in the hood, which is tepidly received but ultimately approved. But they warn him not to be too earnest: “We’ve been doing this social-justice thing a long time,” says one.
Ultimately, Paper Boi’s idea is diluted into a meaninglessly “inclusive” moody black-and-white commercial, a dead-on, heavy-handed montage of various minorities, including a Native American and gender-fluid cowboy making out. In a funny confrontation scene, an infuriated Al claims,”You All Lives Mattered my shit!” before the most superficial character gives him the ultimate dose of truth about business vs. charity.
The second plot track allows us to spend more time with Darius (Lakeith Stanfield)—always an excellent time—as he revisits his Nigerian heritage (but his testicles go unmentioned), taking a white Esco Esco staffer to find joloff, the traditional West African rice dish. (In perhaps the line of the episode, Darius describes it as “like your taste buds are being scammed by a Nigerian prince.”) Darius takes her to the spot, where she’s wide-eyed and reverential. By the end of the episode, she’s bought the building from the landlord and set up a food truck outside with a dish named after Darius. (This is also perilously close to over-broad—as Darius trudges away, a depressed conduit for this appropriation, a jogger urges him to recycle his trashed meal—but the pacing and performances make it work.)
The third storyline finally reunites Earn and Van, and it has qualities that are both jarring and dreamy. After months apart, the pair reunite by accident in a hotel, where Van is placid, an almost Stepford Wives level of chill, urging Earn to relax (again) as she seems distinctly uninterested in seeing him. A woman marches into the lobby and accuses Van of shoplifting and attempts to restrain her in a citizen’s arrest, a nod to the Arlo Hotel incident. It’s jarring and well-directed (by Ibra Ake, who also provided the script). But the hotel manager turns out to be Black and turns the agitator away, and Earn, suggesting that he and Van are newly arrived guests whose reservations have been lost, gets them a free night in a plush suite. This parallels the earlier scene at Esco Esco, in which Paper Boi cannily negotiates his worth in clothes to assuage the brand’s racial guilt; here, Earn got a fringe benefit based on spectacle. Neither sit well with him. The twist: Van may have shoplifted after all.
Once again, this is not the Van we’ve come to know. Ultimately, the episode closes with Earn waking up in a hotel room—just as he did after “Three Slaps” and before the events of “Sinterklaas Is Coming To Town”—and she’s gone again. Exactly how many of the previous events, if any, were a dream? We’ve been getting hints that this season’s happenings are taking part mostly in Earn’s head, and Van notes that Darius thinks they’re living in a simulation.
One issue with not knowing the full extent of this season’s framing is that the creators’ intent is unclear. It’s possible that in real life, Earn—once homeless, now a manager of an internationally successful recording act—is feeling guilty about making money in an industry that may perpetuate problems which urgently need solving. “The Big Payback” also addressed this: In the grand scheme of things, who should be compensated for what? “White Fashion” asks, Who deserves to cut corners to recoup in a fundamentally corrupt and shameful system? The season will play differently once it’s bingeable and you don’t have so much time to wonder about how much is occurring in actuality. In the meantime, this episode of Atlanta forces you to ask: Where are we, really, right now? And that seems to be precisely the point.
Stray observations
- The episode has many great throwaway lines, like the Esco Esco designer appraising a shivering model: “Get this girl a cigarette—she’s freezing” and Khalil demanding tickets to see Julia Roberts performing in Raisin in the Sun (“and it better not be her understudy this time”).
- Another casual exchange packs a serious wallop: as Van and Earn are chilling in their hotel room, he randomly reminiscences about the Nickelodeon cable network’s annual Halloween campaign Nick or Treat. “I never heard ‘Nick or Treat,’” he says.
- Darius has some great moments for his character. When he’s describing joloff: “I feel like boneless fish is an abomination.”
- The Nigerian movie Sharon Stone playing in the restaurant is actually a real thing (and Sharon happens to be the name of the Esco Esco flunky.)
- Also suggesting what we’re seeing is a dream: Time warps a bit. Earn and company are in London long enough for a TV commercial be written, cast and produced, and a restaurant be purchased and converted to a food truck. How long is this tour exactly?
- Those Darius moments, and frankly how good Zazie Beetz is every time she appears on screen, make me feel like we haven’t spent enough time with either one this season, “Sinterklaas” aside. There hasn’t been a Beetz-focused episode on the level of “Helen” or a Stanfield showcase like “Teddy Perkins” this season. Will that change before the season is over, with four more episodes to go?

Coming out of a two-year pandemic, facing extreme workforce shortages, and working toward economic recovery, the Kentucky Chamber knew we had to have a bold plan heading into the 2022 General Assembly. This included driving down the income tax rate, addressing our low workforce participation, investing in infrastructure, supporting our signature industries, and protecting employers’ rights. Now that we have closed the door on a busy, action-packed legislative session, it is clear the General Assembly prioritized pro-growth policies and delivered for Kentucky businesses.
Topping the list of successes was the passage of House Bill 8, a tax reform package which includes a multi-year plan to eliminate Kentucky’s individual income tax. Last year, the Chamber partnered with the Tax Foundation to publish a report that described pragmatic, responsible options for improving Kentucky’s tax code and making us more competitive. Over the past year I traveled the state and listened to employers talk about the need to reduce income taxes to more effectively compete for employees and economic opportunity. We watched as Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina, and other competitor states dropped their income tax rates. We studied Census data that showed low- and no-income tax states outgrew us on population, GDP growth, job growth, and workforce participation. The General Assembly met the moment and put us on a path to truly compete and lower taxes for our citizens.
Another major theme of the session was tackling our workforce challenges, and for such a complex issue, we knew it would take a multi-faceted approach. A major step was to modernize our outdated unemployment insurance system. House Bill 4 encourages Kentuckians to rejoin the workforce more quickly by shortening the number of weeks of benefits when the economy is strong and jobs are plentiful, increasing work search activities, encouraging and incentivizing reskilling and retraining, creating a workshare program for employers, and changing tax calculations for entrepreneurs. This bill will go a long way in supporting rapid reemployment and ensuring the sustainability of our UI system.
As a mother of two small children, I know another major barrier to workforce is the cost and lack of quality child care. The Chamber championed House Bill 499, the Employee Child Care Assistance Partnership, which creates an innovative, employer-led approach to child care cost assistance. We look forward to seeing this program launch next year, creating a much-needed benefit for working families.
The Chamber has long advocated for increased infrastructure funding and commends the General Assembly for setting aside $250 million for transportation mega projects, including the Brent Spence Bridge in Northern Kentucky. This funding will be critical as we seek competitive funds from the federal infrastructure package passed last year.
Rounding out the many pro-business successes from this session, we saw a freeze in unemployment insurance taxes and replenishment of the UI trust fund, saving employers significant money, improved opportunities for our bourbon industry to grow, and passage of a responsible two-year budget that prioritized education, including funding all-day kindergarten.
And success was not only seen in the bills that saw passage, but also in stopping legislation that would have proved harmful to business. We commend the legislature for holding the line on bills that would have weakened employer rights related to vaccination, raised taxes on businesses, and other proposals that would have decreased our competitiveness, hindered business growth, and moved us in the wrong direction.
Looking back over this session, it is clear the legislature had a focus on growing our economy, improving our tax code, and figuring out solutions to our workforce crisis. Because of this, the 2022 General Assembly was easily one of the most successful for Kentucky businesses in recent history and will move Kentucky forward. The Kentucky Chamber applauds the legislature and looks forward to working together to see the Commonwealth reach our true economic potential.
ASHLI WATTS is the Kentucky Chamber president and CEO.

THE MEDIA’S IGNORANCE about basic economics is galling.
I expect it from politicians. I expect it from The New York Times. But it’s sad to see in the New York Post, my town’s rare alternative to Democrat media.
Recently the tabloid freaked out over higher prices imposed by ride-share companies. “New Yorkers are fed up with forking over excessive amounts for Uber and Lyft rides.”
Excessive? Just what is “excessive?” Who decides?
Prices were already up because gasoline costs more, NYC keeps imposing new taxes and regulations, and the federal government pays so many people not to work that there’s now a shortage of drivers.
That day, unusually high “surge” prices were in effect because there had been a horrible shooting on the subway. Commuters, fearful of another subway shooting, turned to ride-share services.
How should a company like Uber deal with that? Suddenly, there is much more demand for rides than supply. Should customers just wait in line? Most wouldn’t get a ride for days.
So, ride-share companies do the sensible thing: They temporarily raise prices. They lower them again when there are free cars. This is the best solution for the most people.
Those who desperately need rides can pay extra for them. Those with spare time can take a bus, walk, call a friend, etc., or just wait for prices to drop.
Higher prices also mean higher pay for drivers, which encourages part-time drivers to drop what they are doing and start offering rides.
Such congestion pricing could also reduce traffic jams if politicians gathered the courage to impose it.
But this pretty good solution is not good enough for economically ignorant reporters. The Post said, “Critics say the sticker shock is unsustainable.”
“Critics say” is a clue that you are reading the product of lazy reporting. When reporters don’t take the time to search out reliable sources or gather actual data, they simply write, “critics say.” The critics could be their friends, family or a couple Uber users at the airport.
How do these critics know the prices are “unsustainable?” They don’t. Ride share investors, with their own money on the line, know more about what is sustainable. If prices were really unsustainable, the company would go out of business.
The reporter went further: “critics say (the fares are) ... sometimes downright unethical.”
Unethical? Uber drivers don’t force people into their cars. They don’t even trick us with advertising.
In fact, they do the opposite. Before I can book a ride, I get a message warning me that the cost will be “higher due to increased demand.”
Economist Don Boudreaux wrote the Post (good for the Post for publishing his letter): “Prices reflect underlying realities of demand and supply. In New York City, rising crime (thanks, Bill de Blasio!) simultaneously raises the demand for Uber rides as it lowers the supply of such rides. These realities cannot help but push fares upward.”
Right.
Uber and Lyft are great innovations. They forced taxi monopolies to treat customers better and let ordinary people use their cars to drive for money.
But businesses get clobbered in the media whenever there’s an aberration. On that day, social media exploded with comments like, “Fare surge after a mass shooting ... Shame on you @Uber.”
The companies quickly went into damage control mode. “Our hearts go out to the victims,” tweeted Uber Support. “We disabled surge pricing in the area.”
Disabling surge pricing may be good PR, but it’s a terrible practice. At the beginning of the pandemic, when toilet paper and hand sanitizer were scarce, politicians told people, “Report merchants who raise prices!” They called that “illegal price gouging.”
But “gouging” was a good thing even then. It disincentivized hoarding and got suppliers to make more of the products we need most.
Yes, today “gouging” is often illegal.
But that’s only because when it comes to what makes markets work, well, most politicians and reporters are just clueless.

Masked suspects get away with $413K in merchandise from Louis Vuitton in Cincinnati
CINCINNATI (WXIX/Gray News) - An estimated $413,000 in merchandise was stolen Wednesday from the Louis Vuitton store at Kenwood Towne Centre in Kenwood, Ohio, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
Shortly after 3 p.m., around eight to 10 people wearing ski masks were dropped off at the entrance of the shopping center.
The individuals proceeded to the Louis Vuitton store as they pushed passed store employees to get into the store, the sheriff’s office explained.
The group managed to steal “every item on the showroom floor,” the sheriff’s office said.
Photos released Thursday show the suspects running out of the store, merchandise in hand, on their way to a dark gray SUV and a black sedan. The vehicles were last seen northbound on I-71, according to the sheriff’s office.
Call 513-851-6000 if you have information regarding this investigation.

Weekend Gardener: Planting herbs and flowers together
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - Saving space can be tricky in a garden, especially if you already have a ton of plants growing. A way you can condense your garden without impacting the growth of your plants is by planting flowers and herbs together.
Lisa Whittelsey with Texas A&M Agrilife says some herbs will grow really well in a bed of other flowers. “So some of you may have beds already at home. And you’re like I don’t really have room to have a vegetable or herb bed. Well, guess what you can interplant them and they look beautiful,” says Whittelsey.
Herbs like basil, rosemary, and cilantro work really well in multipurpose gardens. Agrilife suggests that you avoid planting mint in your garden since it grows at a rapid pace and can really take over the entire flower bed.

SAN DIEGO, April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Seventeen female varsity athletes who sued San Diego State University (SDSU) for depriving women of equal athletic financial aid in February charged the school today with denying women athletes equal treatment and benefits, too—and retaliating against them for trying to make SDSU comply with Title IX. Their Amended Complaint, filed in federal court in San Diego, seeks court orders requiring the school to treat its female and male student-athletes equally and prohibiting SDSU from retaliating against its female athletes in the future. It seeks damages from SDSU for retaliating against its women athletes. And it continues to seek over $1.2 million for the equal athletic financial aid the women athletes were deprived of in the last two years, the additional money they are illegally being denied this year, and a court order requiring SDSU to provide equal athletic financial aid in the future.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits all educational institutions that receive federal funds, including SDSU, from discriminating on the basis of sex. It requires schools to provide male and female student-athletes with equal athletic financial aid and equal treatment and benefits. And it prohibits all schools from retaliating against anyone for speaking out about or challenging sex discrimination at the school.
"SDSU seems to be aiming for the Title IX sex discrimination trifecta," said Arthur H. Bryant of Bailey & Glasser, LLP, in Oakland, CA, lead counsel for the women. "It has been cheating its female student-athletes out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in equal athletic financial aid each year. It is giving its male student-athletes far better treatment and benefits than its female student-athletes. And now it has blatantly retaliated against its female student-athletes for standing up for their rights and trying to hold the school accountable. This is not the way SDSU should be marking Title IX's 50th anniversary."
"I wish I could say I'm shocked -- but it's been clear since we began investigating this case that SDSU is bent on treating its female student athletes like second-class citizens," said Jenna Rangel, partner at Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, in San Diego and co-counsel in the case. "We remain firm in our commitment to these incredible plaintiffs, and we commend them for their ongoing courage and grit."
The original SDSU Title IX lawsuit was filed on February 7, 2022, charging the school with depriving women of over half a million dollars annually in equal athletic financial aid. At that time, SDSU knew the women were preparing to file a claim to require SDSU to provide equal treatment and benefits going forward, unless SDSU agreed to do so. It also knew that such a claim could only be pursued by current female varsity student-athletes, that the only current athletes who had sued for equal athletic financial aid were five women on the women's track and field team, and that those women had sued on behalf of all of the past and current female student-athletes at the school.
On February 16, 2022, a previously-unscheduled Zoom meeting of the women's varsity track and field team was called on short notice to discuss the team's upcoming meet, held, and recorded. At the start of that meeting, SDSU made clear to the five women and over 40 of their teammates that it was disappointed with the team members who had filed the Title IX suit. That was blatantly illegal retaliation. It adversely affected the five women athletes and their ability to pursue their claims. It also had a chilling effect on the other women athletes, making them wary of pursuing their claims and helping the women who had filed suit prove their claims on behalf of all women athletes. When the women who had sued asked SDSU to take specific steps to minimize the harm caused by this illegal retaliation, SDSU refused.
"SDSU needs to take Title IX seriously and give its women athletes the equal athletic financial aid and treatment they deserve," said women's track and field team member Kailin Heri. "We're being taught to think and stand up for ourselves, but, when we do so, SDSU retaliates against us—and refuses to fix it—even though SDSU is violating the law. We're going to keep fighting for equality. SDSU needs to stop discriminating and comply with Title IX."
In addition to Heri, the lawsuit was filed by past and current SDSU student-athletes Madison Fisk, Raquel Castro, Greta Viss, Clare Botterill, Maya Brosch, Olivia Petrine, Aisha Watt, Helen Bauer, Carina Clark, Natalie Figueroa, Erica Grotegeer, Kamryn Whitworth, Sara Absten, Eleanor Davies, Alexa Dietz, and Larisa Sulcs.
In addition to Bryant and Rangel, the women are represented by Bailey Glasser's Lori Bullock in Des Moines, IA, and Cary Joshi and Joshua Hammack in Washington, DC, along with co-counsel Amber Eck of Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, and David S. Casey, Jr., and Gayle Blatt of Casey Gerry in San Diego.
Bryant has successfully represented more female (and male) athletes and potential athletes in Title IX litigation against schools and universities than any lawyer in the country. He leads the Bailey Glasser Title IX team that has recently won groundbreaking settlements for female student-athletes at eight universities that announced they were eliminating women's varsity intercollegiate athletic teams: Brown University, the College of William & Mary, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, East Carolina University, Dartmouth College, the University of St. Thomas, La Salle University, and Dickinson College. The team also won a historic settlement – the first Title IX victory ever for male student-athletes – with Clemson University after the school became the first facing class actions suits by both its male and female student-athletes for violating Title IX by discriminating against them in different ways.

Cesar Quintana agonized for weeks that his 2-year-old son wouldn't make it out of the battered Ukrainian coastal port Mariupol as Russian troops encircled the city.
Thankfully, he did.
But Alexander and his mother are now in Russia, where Quintana, who has full legal custody of the boy in California, is no closer to seeing him again.
Quintana has been trying to bring his son back to the U.S. since his estranged wife took the child to Ukraine without Quintana’s permission in 2020. He was working to get the boy returned through a Ukrainian court when the war broke out, and he lost communication with them.
Last month, he finally learned that, unlike the millions of Ukrainians who fled to Poland or Moldova, the family and others from Mariupol escaped across the closest international border to Russia.
Russia, however, is not a partner of the United States under an international treaty that governs the return of children abducted overseas by one of their parents, though Ukraine is. That has Quintana hoping the Ukrainian court will take his case back up and he can get Russian authorities to enforce any ruling in his favor. He said he’s also trying to persuade his estranged Ukrainian-American wife, Antonina Aslanova, to return to California on her own.
“I’m not giving up, and my son’s not going to grow up in Russia,” Quintana said.
A WhatsApp message sent to Aslanova seeking comment was not returned.
International parental child abduction cases are complex, and advocates say relatively few children taken from their countries of residence are promptly returned. More than 2,000 applications were filed in 2015 under the international treaty that puts in place a process for resolving these cases, and about 45% resulted in the children being returned, according to a report by the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
Many countries have signed the treaty, but it isn't in effect between the United States and Russia, which makes getting a child returned very difficult, said Melissa Kucinski, a Washington-based attorney who specializes in these cases.
"With the child now sitting in Russia, my expectation is the father's California custody order will probably mean very little,” Kucinski said.
Quintana, 35, has been trying for more than a year to get his son back through the treaty process with Ukraine, since a California judge ordered that the boy should be returned to him. Quintana traveled to Ukraine, hired a lawyer and said he got Aslanova to agree to let him bring the boy to California. But he said her mother opposed and filed a complaint with police, which stopped him from doing so.
Then, a critical court hearing in February was delayed to March and put off again because of the war.
Since then, Ukraine has said it won't be able to uphold its treaty commitments during the war, according to the U.S. State Department's website. The U.S. embassy in Kyiv is closed, though the State Department said it can assist Americans with consular services once they reach another country.
In Russia, the U.S. government’s ability to provide routine or emergency services to U.S. citizens is “severely limited,” a department official said.
The war drove Quintana to desperation. He sent money to Aslanova when the invasion began, but communication was cut off as the city of Mariupol fell under siege. When he couldn't reach his son, Quintana asked Ukrainian officials for permission to travel to the war-torn country to find him. He was planning to buy a plane ticket to Europe when he said the State Department confirmed the boy, Aslanova and her family had escaped to Russia.
Quintana said he spoke with Aslanova after she got out of Mariupol. He said she was considering coming back to California but was reluctant because she faces criminal charges for child abduction and also for driving under the influence in a case that prompted Quintana to seek the custody order in 2020.
“She is worried about jail,” he said. “Why does my son have to suffer because of her?”
Noelle Hunter, co-founder of the iStand Parent Network, said a voluntary agreement is typically the best option in these cases. She said Quintana has asked the district attorney’s office to drop the abduction charge if Aslanova returns, but prosecutors have not committed to doing so. State Department officials have offered to expedite documents should Aslanova leave Russia and take the child to another country, she said.
“We can’t just kind of sit on our hands,” said Hunter, whose organization supports parents whose children were taken overseas. “We have to be ready.”
The Orange County district attorney’s office declined to discuss the case.
Quintana and Aslanova were in the process of divorcing when she was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, according to a letter from Orange County prosecutors to Ukrainian officials.
Quintana was granted a custody order and allowed Aslanova to visit the boy at his home in December 2020. While he was sleeping, she took him to the airport and boarded a flight to Turkey then another to Ukraine, he said.

Which Superman coloring book is best?
Coloring is a fantastic way for adults to practice “mindfulness-based stress reduction.” This means coloring is rewarding, no matter what age you are. All you have to do is find a theme that you like and get started.
Superman is one of the most famous heroes in the world. Because of this, some Superman coloring books are for kids, and some are for adults. The “Justice League: An Adult Coloring Book” is a great option for grown-ups. Some of the biggest names in the comic book industry did the illustrations.
What to know before you buy a Superman coloring book
Coloring benefits both kids and adults
When children learn to color, it stimulates their creativity, teaches them how to make choices, and develops hand-to-eye coordination and fine motor skills. It also boosts self-esteem, lets them learn to be in the moment and helps them excel in school. But if you think coloring books are only for kids, you’ll be surprised to learn that they are essential tools for adults as well.
When an adult is focused on coloring, it lets them focus on something other than stressors. Coloring can help an adult improve vision and maintain physical dexterity. It teaches mindfulness, reduces anxiety and sets the stage for a better night’s sleep.
Be careful about buying knockoff Superman coloring books
If you are not a fan of comic books, it is possible to purchase a knockoff coloring book. While this might not matter to you, if you buy it for a child who specifically wanted a Superman coloring book, they will not enjoy it as much as they could.
To protect yourself, you need to watch out for red flags. This can be anything from odd color schemes on the cover to misspelled words throughout the book. Another sign that you are buying a counterfeit Superman coloring book is the presence of diacritics on the name “Superman.” Diacritics are the accent marks above or below a letter that indicate a different pronunciation. There are no diacritics used in Superman’s name.
What to look for in a quality Superman coloring book
Style of the line drawing
Different individuals have different aesthetics. A coloring book with thin, sketchy lines might please some, while others prefer drawings featuring bold, thick lines. Additionally, some may only want a picture of Superman, while others long for an entire action scene to color. If you don’t choose a coloring book with artwork that pleases you, you might end up not using it.
Appropriate age range
It is easy to tell when a coloring book is designed for a younger child. The shapes will be large and uncomplicated because that child doesn’t have the motor skills to color in small, complicated shapes. While an older kid can always color in a book meant for a younger child, the opposite is not true. It is best to choose a coloring book that matches the artist’s age.
Quality of the pages
If the pages of your Superman coloring book are newsprint, you won’t be able to use markers on them and they will tear easily. The best Superman coloring book has durable pages appropriate for a wide variety of media.
Images on only one side of the page
For individuals who want to display their artwork, it is best to find a Superman coloring book with images on one side of the page.
Inclusion of other heroes
If the only superhero you like is Superman, a book that only has Superman pictures is best. However, if you also like Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and others, look for a coloring book featuring other heroes from the DC universe.
Inclusion of other activities
Some kids enjoy puzzles and games as much as they do coloring. If this sounds like your child, a Superman book that includes other activities will give you the most bang for your buck.
Book bundle
Occasionally, you can find two or more coloring books bundled together and sold as a single package. The advantage of purchasing Superman coloring books as a collection is a lower price per book.
How much you can expect to spend on a Superman coloring book
Superman coloring books are an affordable way to have fun. Most books cost $8-$16, and they can provide weeks of entertainment.
Superman coloring book FAQ
Is Superman part of the Marvel Universe?
A. No. Superman is part of the DC universe. He is part of the Justice League, not Marvel’s Avengers.
What colors do I need for Superman’s costume?
A. The most recognizable Superman costume has only three colors: blue, red and yellow. His boots, trunks, “S” and cape are red. His belt and background of his logo are yellow.

Five Eyes alert warns of heightened risk of Russian cyber attacks
Critical infrastructure organisations within the UK have been urged to ramp up their cyber security defences as they face a heightened risk of Russian state-sponsored cyber attacks.
An alert issued by the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which consists of the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, has warned the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyber attacks against critical organisations such as the NHS, nuclear power stations and parts of the civil service.
According to the alert, “evolving intelligence” suggests hackers within the Russian government are seeking to engage in “malicious cyber activity” in response to the “unprecedented economic sanctions” imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.
There is also concern that hackers are targeting critical infrastructure in countries that have provided “materiel support” to Ukrainian forces.
There are also risks posed by numerous cybercrime groups who have pledged their support to Russia. These include Killnet, a group that claimed credit for a recent DDoS attack against a US airport the group believed was supporting Ukraine.
In response to the increased risk, the Five Eyes alert outlines a number of immediate actions critical infrastructure organisations can take to “prepare for and mitigate potential cyber threats”.
These include immediately updating software, enforcing multifactor authentication, securing and monitoring “potentially risky” services such as remote desktop protocols, and providing end-user awareness and training.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Steve Barclay, the minister responsible for cyber security, told The Daily Telegraph: “Cyber attacks recognise no physical or geographical boundary and it has never been more important to plan and invest in cyber resilience.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jalen Brunson scored 31 points playing with a bruised back and the Dallas Mavericks — without the injured Luka Doncic — beat the Utah Jazz 126-118 on Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.
Spencer Dinwiddie scored 10 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter for Dallas, Maxi Kleber had 17 points and Dorian Finney-Smith added 14 points, hitting a 3-pointer with 1:56 left for a 10-point lead.
Doncic has missed all three of the games in the series with a strained calf, with signs pointing to his return for Game 4 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
Donovan Mitchell scored 28 of his 32 points in the second half for Utah. Bojan Bogdanovic added 24 and Mike Conley had 21. The Jazz had won 11 in a row at home against Dallas.
Conley got the Jazz to 103-102, but Dinwiddie made two baskets and Brunson scored six points on three straight possessions to make it 113-104.
Brunson appeared to hurt his back midway through the second quarter when Royce O’Neale hit him full-speed from behind. He moved gingerly, rubbed his lower back and earned a technical on his way off the court complaining about a cheap shot.
But he shook it off and toyed with Jazz on a variety of drives to the baskets against several different defenders. Brunson now has 96 points in the three games of the series.
Once the Jazz finally matched the Mavericks and played without a center, the court opened up for Utah. Mitchell (18) and Bogdanovic (12) scored at will in the third quarter against a leaky Dallas zone. The Jazz made 14 of 18 shots and trimmed the lead to 97-91 entering the final period. The game was physical and chippy at times, featuring 60 fouls.
TIP-INS
Mavericks: After going 8 for 11 from 3-point range in Game 2, Kleber made three straight in his first two minutes on the court. … Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot surgery) is probably out for the playoffs unless Dallas makes a deep run.
Jazz: Olympic gold medalist skier Lindsey Vonn and boxer Floyd Mayweather sat courtside. … Clarkson made a three-quarter-court shot but it came just after the first-quarter horn. … Eric Paschall only played 10 minutes (at center) but scored six points and Utah outscored Dallas by nine points during that time.

NASA's next Earth missions will monitor extreme weather, take first global survey of surface water
NASA has four more missions launching this year to gather essential data about our planet, from sea ice to air quality and weather.
NASA Earth Science Division Director Karen St. German told FOX Weather that while most people associate the space agency with studies of other worlds and space, NASA is just as focused on studying our home planet.
Currently, there are 24 Earth-science missions in orbit, and NASA will be launching four more by the end of 2022.
"The observations from these missions feed modules and research that really increase our understanding of how the Earth is evolving and predict how that change will continue in the future," St. German said.
Already this year, NOAA and NASA's newest weather satellite, GOES-18, launched from Cape Canaveral on March 1 and later reached its home 22,236 miles above Earth. The satellite will track hurricanes, wildfires and provide advanced warnings for tornadoes and give advanced warnings of incoming space weather caused by solar flares.
This summer, Astra will launch a constellation of small NASA satellites known as CubeSats under the TROPICS mission.
"It will be making lots of rapid measurements of the thermodynamics of tropical storm systems, and this will increase our understanding of how they work and the processes that drive significant and rapid evolution of tropical storms in their structure and intensity," St. German said.
This fall, NOAA and NASA are preparing to launch the third satellite in the Joint Polar Satellite System series, JPSS-2.
NOAA's JPSS-2 mission will help predict extreme weather conditions providing a holistic view of how all of Earth's systems are working together. The satellite will provide data to help forecasters track climate change.
JPSS-2 is scheduled to launch in September from California.
At the end of the year, NASA's SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) mission is scheduled to launch to low-Earth orbit, providing the most precise measurement of Earth's water from its oceans, lakes, wetlands and all bodies of water.
According to NASA, SWOT will help scientists understand the impacts of climate change, including the ocean's ability to absorb heat and carbon dioxide.
"It will give us critical information to help us manage water and decisions in communities and industries across the country," St. German explained.
SWOT will help western states dealing with drought, lack of snowpack and low reservoirs to know how much water they have. St. German said coastal communities facing flooding due to sea-level rise would also have SWOT information to help them prepare.
SWOT data will also help farmers manage crops and irrigation needs.
SpaceX will launch the spacecraft from California in November.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump's persistent flirtation with another White House run is doing little to discourage other potential Republican candidates from stepping up their activity in Iowa, the state that will formally launch the 2024 nomination process.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo quietly finished his fifth trip to Iowa last week, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is making plans for a statewide trip this summer. Former Vice President Mike Pence, meanwhile, is expected to visit the heart of conservative western Iowa this weekend.
Pence's trip is particularly notable since he spent the better part of four years in lockstep with Trump. It provides further evidence that Pence, whose life was threatened by Trump supporters during the violent Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, is considering his political future without regard to the former president's plans.
Pence and his wife, Karen, will make their plans based on “where they are being called to serve, not on what anyone else is doing, including Trump," said senior Pence adviser Marc Short.
From his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump is closely watching the developments in Iowa and working with operatives in the state to ensure that he would dominate the caucuses if he decided to run again. But some Republicans warn that Trump doesn't have the state locked down.
His status as a former president who remains deeply popular with the GOP base “doesn't mean someone else with the right message couldn't appeal to them in a way that really cuts into Trump's support," said David Kochel, a veteran Iowa Republican campaign strategist.
Pence, in particular, seems prepared to dig in to the state, especially the sprawling swath of northern and western Iowa where Christian conservatives have lifted the past three GOP caucus winners. Making his third trip to Iowa since the 2020 election, Pence plans to campaign on Saturday with Rep. Randy Feenstra in the Republican-heavy 4th Congressional District and cap the day with a speech to the county GOP meeting in Ames.
Last month, he outlined a policy agenda for 2022 candidates, noting “elections are about the future." The comment could foreshadow a confrontation with Trump, who continues to falsely insist that widespread voter fraud cost him a second term in 2020.
Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the election was tainted. The former president’s allegations of fraud were also roundly rejected by courts, including by judges Trump appointed.
Still, Trump has criticized Pence for not stopping the certification of the Electoral College vote totals that made Democrat Joe Biden the winner. Vice presidents play only a ceremonial role in the counting of Electoral College votes. Any attempt to interfere in the count would have represented an extraordinary violation of the law and an assault on the democratic process, sparking a constitutional crisis.
Only this year did Pence publicly renounce Trump's claims, saying in February the former president was “wrong” to insist that he had the power to unilaterally overturn the results of the 2020 election. He further distanced himself from Trump after Russia invaded Ukraine. Pence said, “There is no room in this party for apologists” for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, whom Trump has praised.
The former president has become more critical of Putin as the war in Ukraine has intensified.
The GOP's full court press in Iowa won't likely begin until after the November midterm elections. But the party has already committed to maintaining the state's status as home to the first nominating contest. That's in contrast to Democrats, who are taking the boldest steps in a generation to revise their calendar and potentially concentrate power in states that are more racially diverse.
Pompeo, who wrapped up a two-day trip in western Iowa last week, has been a regular visitor, appearing at local, county and state GOP meetings across the state. But it's Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton who owns the early lead for Iowa visits at six, with a seventh planned for July.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the 2016 Iowa GOP caucus winner, has also visited, and endorsed candidates for Congress.
Despite the activity, it's unclear that anyone visiting the state is gaining much traction among Iowa GOP activists at this early stage. During recent interviews with a dozen county Republican activists, GOP consultants and donors, much of the focus was on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has yet to visit the state. The closest he's come is as a guest of Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts' at a September fundraiser south of Omaha.
“There are a number of people that are interesting and have done work that's been noticed, especially Ron DeSantis,” said former Republican county chair Gwen Ecklund, of Crawford County in conservative western Iowa.
DeSantis, governor of the nation's third most-populous state, has recently become a rallying voice in the country's cultural battles, particularly related to LGBTQ issues. He has refused to recognize the transgender swimmer who won the NCAA women's freestyle championship. He signed a bill last month forbidding instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity for early elementary school students, a measure opponents have dubbed the “Don't Say Gay" law.
He's in an increasingly heated battle with Disney, whose executives have criticized the anti-LGBTQ measures. At his request, the Florida legislature on Thursday gave final passage to a bill that would stop allowing Walt Disney World to operate a private government over its properties in the state.
Influential Republican donors, such as retired insurance executive Cam Sutton of suburban Des Moines, describe DeSantis as similar to Trump on policy, “but without the tweets."
Sutton was among a contingent of wealthy Iowa Republicans who traveled to New Jersey in 2011 in hopes of recruiting then-Gov. Chris Christie to run in 2012. Sutton and others remain in touch with Christie and would not be surprised if he runs, as he did in 2016.
Still, Trump remains overwhelmingly popular among Iowa Republicans. According to The Des Moines Register’s Iowa Poll in October, 91% of Iowa Republicans said they have a favorable view of him.
That same month, during Trump's most recent appearance in Iowa, he drew tens of thousands to the Iowa State Fairgrounds, where he endorsed Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is seeking an eighth term.
Iowa staff working for his super PAC were recently meeting at the former president's Florida home to discuss his Iowa plans for the year, mindful of the attention others would be receiving.
“Oh, I know there are some who can't wait for him to run again,” said Crawford County's Ecklund. “But others are sitting back and starting to pay attention to others."

Possible mass graves near Mariupol shown in satellite images
ZAPORIZHZHIA,Ukraine (AP) — New satellite images show what appear to be mass graves near Mariupol, and local officials accused Russia of burying up to 9,000 Ukrainian civilians there in an effort to conceal the slaughter taking place in the siege of the port city.
The images emerged Thursday, just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the battle for Mariupol, despite the presence of an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters who were still holed up at a giant steel mill. Putin ordered his troops to seal off the stronghold “so that not even a fly comes through” instead of storming it.
Satellite image provider Maxar Technologies released the photos, which it said showed more than 200 mass graves in a town where Ukrainian officials say the Russians have been burying Mariupol residents killed in the fighting. The imagery showed long rows of graves stretching away from an existing cemetery in the town of Manhush, outside Mariupol.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko accused the Russians of “hiding their military crimes” by taking the bodies of civilians from the city and burying them in Manhush.
The graves could hold as many as 9,000 dead, the Mariupol City Council said Thursday in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
Boychenko labeled Russian actions in the city as “the new Babi Yar,” a reference to the site of multiple Nazi massacres in which nearly 34,000 Ukrainian Jews were killed in 1941.
“The bodies of the dead were being brought by the truckload and actually simply being dumped in mounds,” an aide to Boychenko, Piotr Andryushchenko, said on Telegram.
There was no immediate reaction from the Kremlin. When mass graves and hundreds of dead civilians were discovered in Bucha and other towns around Kyiv after Russian troops retreated three weeks ago, Russian officials denied that their soldiers killed any civilians there and accused Ukraine of staging the atrocities.
In a statement, Maxar said a review of previous images indicates that the graves in Manhush were dug in late March and expanded in recent weeks.
After nearly two lethal months of bombardment that largely reduced Mariupol to a smoking ruin, Russian forces appear to control the rest of the strategic southern city, including its vital but now badly damaged port.
But a few thousand Ukrainian troops, by Moscow’s estimate, have stubbornly held out for weeks at the steel plant, despite a pummeling from Russian forces and repeated demands for their surrender. About 1,000 civilians were also trapped there, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused Russia of launching attacks to block civilian evacuations from Mariupol.
At least two Russian attacks on Thursday hit the city of Zaporizhzhia, a way station for people fleeing Mariupol. No one was wounded, the regional governor said.
Among those who arrived in Zaporizhzhia after fleeing the city were Yuriy and Polina Lulac, who spent nearly two months living in a basement with at least a dozen other people. There was no running water and little food, Yuriy Lulac said.
“What was happening there was so horrible that you can’t describe it,” said the native Russian speaker who used a derogatory word for the Russian troops, saying they were “killing people for nothing.”
“Mariupol is gone. In the courtyards there are just graves and crosses,” Lulac said.
The Red Cross said it had expected to to evacuate 1,500 people by bus, but that the Russians allowed only a few dozen to leave and pulled some people off of the buses.
Dmitriy Antipenko said he lived mostly in a basement with his wife and father-in-law amid death and destruction.
“In the courtyard, there was a little cemetery, and we buried seven people there,” Antipenko said, wiping away tears.
Instead of sending troops to finish off the Mariupol defenders inside the steel factory in a potentially bloody frontal assault, Russia apparently intends to maintain the siege and wait for the fighters to surrender when they run out of food or ammunition.
All told, more than 100,000 people were believed trapped with little or no food, water, heat or medicine in Mariupol, which had a prewar population of about 430,000. Over 20,000 people have been killed in the siege, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The city has seized worldwide attention as the scene of some of the worst suffering of the war, including deadly airstrikes on a maternity hospital and a theater.
Boychenko rejected any notion that Mariupol had fallen into Russian hands.
“The city was, is and remains Ukrainian,” he declared. “Today our brave warriors, our heroes, are defending our city.”
The capture of Mariupol would represent the Kremlin’s biggest victory yet of the war in Ukraine. It would help Moscow secure more of the coastline, complete a land bridge between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized in 2014, and free up more forces to join the larger and potentially more consequential battle now underway for Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, the Donbas.
At a joint appearance with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Putin declared, “The completion of combat work to liberate Mariupol is a success,” and he offered congratulations to Shoigu.
Shoigu predicted the Azovstal steel mill could be taken in three to four days. But Putin said that would be “pointless” and expressed concern for the lives of Russian troops in deciding against sending them in to clear out the sprawling plant, where the die-hard defenders were hiding in a maze of underground passageways.
Instead, the Russian leader said, the military should “block off this industrial area so that not even a fly comes through.”
The plant covers 11 square kilometers (4 square miles) and is threaded with some 24 kilometers (15 miles) of tunnels and bunkers.
“The Russian agenda now is not to capture these really difficult places where the Ukrainians can hold out in the urban centers, but to try and capture territory and also to encircle the Ukrainian forces and declare a huge victory,” retired British Rear Adm. Chris Parry said.
Russian officials for weeks have said capturing the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas is the war’s main objective. Moscow’s forces opened the new phase of the fighting this week along a 300-mile (480-kilometer) front from the northeastern city of Kharkiv to the Azov Sea.
While Russia continued heavy air and artillery attacks in those areas, it did not appear to gain any significant ground over the past few days, according to military analysts, who said Moscow’s forces were still ramping up the offensive.
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the Pentagon’s assessment, said the Ukrainians were hindering the Russian effort to push south from Izyum.
Rockets struck a neighborhood of Kharkiv on Thursday, and at least two civilians were burned to death in their car. A school and a residential building were also hit, and firefighters tried to put out a blaze and search for anyone trapped.
Elsewhere, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russian troops kidnapped a local official heading up a humanitarian convoy in the southern Kherson region. She said the Russians offered to free him in exchange for Russian prisoners of war, but she characterized that as unacceptable.
Vereshchuk also said efforts to establish three humanitarian corridors in the Kherson region failed Thursday because Russian troops did not hold their fire.
In the U.S., President Joe Biden pledged an additional $1.3 billion for new weapons and economic assistance to help Ukraine, and he promised to seek much more from Congress to keep the guns, ammunition and cash flowing.

NEW DELHI (AP) — The frenzied fury against Muslims began with provocative songs played by Hindu mobs that called for violence. It ended with Muslim neighborhoods resembling a war zone, with pavements littered with broken glass, charred vehicles and burned mosques.
On April 10, a Hindu festival marking the birth anniversary of Lord Ram turned violent in Madhya Pradesh state’s Khargone city after Hindu mobs brandishing swords and sticks marched past Muslim neighborhoods and mosques. Videos showed hundreds of them dancing and cheering in unison to songs blared from loudspeakers that included calls for violence against Muslims.
Soon groups of Hindus and Muslims began throwing stones at each other, police said. By the time the violence subsided, the Muslims were left disproportionately affected. Their shops and homes were looted and set ablaze. Mosques were desecrated and burned. Overnight, dozens of families were displaced.
“Our lives were destroyed in just one day,” said Hidayatullah Mansuri, a mosque official.
It was the latest in a series of attacks against Muslims in India, where hardline Hindu nationalists have long espoused a rigid anti-Muslim stance and preached violence against them. But increasingly, incendiary songs directed at Muslims have become a precursor to these attacks.
They are part of what is known as “saffron pop,” a reference to the color associated with the Hindu religion and favored by Hindu nationalists. Many such songs openly call for the killing of Muslims and those who do not endorse “Hindutva,” a Hindu nationalist movement that seeks to turn officially secular India into an avowedly Hindu nation.
For some of the millions of Indian Muslims, who make up 14% of the country’s 1.4 billion people, these songs are the clearest example of rising anti-Muslim sentiment across the country. They fear that hate music is yet another tool in the hands of Hindu nationalists to target them.
“These songs make open calls for our murder, and nobody is making them stop,” said Mansuri.
The violence in Khargone left one Muslim dead and the body was found seven days later, senior police officer Anugraha. P said. She said police arrested several people for rioting but did not specify whether anyone who played the provocative songs was among them.
India's history is pockmarked with bloody communal violence dating back to the British partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. But religious polarization has significantly increased under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government, with minority Muslims often targeted for everything from their food and clothing style to inter-religious marriages.
The hate-filled soundtracks have further heightened tensions, but the creators of these songs see them as a form of devotion to their faith and a mere assertion of being a “proud Hindu.”
“India is a Hindu nation and my songs celebrate our religion. What’s wrong with that?” said singer Sandeep Chaturvedi.
Among the many songs played in Khargone before the violence, Chaturvedi’s was the most provocative. That song exhorts Hindus to “rise” so that “those who wear skull caps will bow down to Lord Ram,” referring to Muslims. It goes on to say that when Hindu “blood boils” it will show Muslims their rightful place with their “sword.”
For Chaturvedi, a self-avowed Hindu nationalist, the lyrics are not hate-filled or provocative. They rather signify “the mood of the people.”
“Every Hindu likes my songs. It brings them closer to their religion,” he said.
Chaturvedi’s assessment is partly true. Despite the tacky production quality, poorly matched lip-synching and repetitive techno beats, many of the music videos for these songs have millions of views on YouTube and are a hit among the country’s Hindu youth.
Music in a variety of languages, and often in praise of various Hindu deities, has historically been an important part of Hinduism. Bhajan, a style of devotional music performed in temples and homes, remains a key part of this tradition. But observers say the gradual rise of Hindu nationalism has encouraged a more aggressive form of music that spawns anti-Muslim sentiments.
Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, a journalist based in New Delhi who has written a biography on Modi, said the hate songs were first harnessed in the early 1990s by Hindu nationalists through audio cassettes that were set to the tune of popular Bollywood music, helping them appeal to younger listeners. The beginning of that decade saw a violent campaign by India’s right wing that in 1992 led to the demolition of a 16th-century mosque in central India by a Hindu mob, catapulting Modi's party to national prominence.
Mukhopadhyay said the songs have since become a “time-tested trope” of Hindu nationalists to “insult Muslims, disparage their religion and provoke them into responding."
“Most mob attacks against Muslims follow a similar pattern. A large procession of Hindus enters Muslim neighborhoods and plays hate speeches and incendiary songs which inevitably escalates into communal violence. The songs are, in fact, played with even greater vigor in front of the mosques to elicit a response from Muslims," said Mukhopadhyay, who has also written about major riots in India.
Over the years, the songs have become common during Hindu festivals and are not just limited to the fringe.
The day violence struck Khargone, T. Raja Singh, a lawmaker from Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, led a similar procession of Hindu devotees in southern Hyderabad city and belted out a self-composed song that made veiled references to the removal of Muslims from the country. Police charged him with “hurting the religious sentiments of people.”
Similar songs that called for Hindus to kill those who do not chant “Jai Shri Ram!” or “Hail Lord Ram,” a slogan that has become a battle cry for Hindu nationalists, were also played in front of mosques in multiple Indian cities on the same day. They were followed by a wave of violence, leaving at least one dead in Gujarat state.
Meanwhile, the demand for these songs keeps rising.
Last week, the singer Laxmi Dubey performed some of her hits before a Hindu gathering in central India’s Bhopal city. In one song, she exhorted a cheering crowd of Hindus to “cut off the tongues of enemies who speak against Lord Ram,” videos from the event showed.
On Saturday, the same song was played in New Delhi during a procession marking another Hindu festival. TV broadcasts showed hundreds of Hindu youth, brandishing swords and homemade handguns, marching through a Muslim neighborhood as loudspeakers blasted the hate-filled music.
In a phone interview, Dubey said it showed her music was widely accepted.
“It is what people want,” she said.

AFL is ruthlessly mocked after bizarrely launching a new NFT digital artworks venture and stuffing it up
- The AFL is the latest sporting code to embrace digital assets with NFT launch
- The AFL and AFLW have built the ‘AFL Mint’ website to sell digital tokens
- It partnered with Animoca Brands, which has stakes in digital NFT goto OpenSea
- The launch of AFL's discord service has been ridiculed for allowing open access
- The league was forced to made prompt changes to its access to restore order
The AFL has been mercilessly mocked over the launch of its new NFT venture after allowing free-for-all access to its messaging service Discord.
The AFL and world leading digital company Animoca Brands launched its ‘AFL Mint’ website just days ago with a view to release its first official licensed NFT 'drop' in the coming weeks.
A Non-Fungible Token is a unique digital token encrypted with an artist's signature and which verifies its ownership and authenticity and is permanently attached to the piece.
As part of that launch, the AFL opened up an AFLMINT Discord channel, a social media app which has quickly become the preferred way of communication by the crypto currency and NFT communities.
The AFL plans to peddle NFTs to its fans and members of the growing crypto community
AFL boss Gillon McLachlan has egg on his face after a blundering entry into the world of NFTs
The AFLMINT Discord channel was instantly mocked for allowing free-for-all access to its various official channels
Discord channels allow interested parties to engage in direct communication with business leaders and are regarded as a safe and regulated way to source accurate information.
Upon launching its messaging service this week, the AFL set heads shaking in disbelief as it allowed open access to its 'Official Link' section.
The section traditionally houses links to trusted content signed-off on and approved by the company - in this instance the AFL.
But in a monumental blunder that could have resulted in the scamming of those unfamiliar with the emerging crypto world, the page allowed anyone to post potentially dubious links.
'Amateur hour on the @AFLMint Discord, with unlocked channels in their "official links" and "welcome" pages,' a tweet from one user read on Friday.
'OGs had a good laugh. I hope they get their act together, as you only get one go at this. I'm grateful scammers haven't found it yet.'
EPIC FAILURE: The AFL has been mocked for its early steps into the world of NFTs

NFT veterans were quick to jump on the AFLs Discord blunder
While the AFL scrambled to close down access on its Official Link section under a barrage of ridicule, it forgot to close the door on its 'Welcome' section, which also traditionally acts as a go-to point for official content.
'Typing whatever I want in the welcome channel. Nothing stopping me from doing it,' a user mocked.
'Scammers heaven in here,' another wrote.
'Y'all need any help with a discord build? Feel free to hit me up,' yet another user joked.
Then the memes began.
NFT scams have become a serious tool within worldwide criminal organisations.
Financial crime specialist and crypto expert Nik Horniacek told abcNEWS he fell for his first NFT scam in December.
Excited about a popular NFT venture that was launching in February, he clicked on a social media link that he thought would lead him to the project site, but instead drained all his cryptocurrency.
A local expert in the field, who asked to remain anonymous, said although the AFL appeared to have 'dodged a bullet' with its Discord launch, it was a serious misstep.

The AFLMINT welcome page was targetted after its official-link section was closed
The AFL has got off to a wobbly start to its new NFT venture
'They have setup the official Discord Server and all the channels are fully open. Including the official links channel, so scammers could just post stuff in there and steal dumb peoples NFTs. Insanity. Never seen anything more amateurish,' he told Daily Mail Australia on Friday.
The AFL hopes fans will buy digital assets featuring their favourite players which will give them access into 'immersive experiences', ticket upgrades and exclusive merchandise.
The move into NFTs closely mirrors ventures abroad, such as the National Basketball Association, Formula 1, Cricket Australia and Tennis Australia.
Just days ago outgoing AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan bragged that its five-year partnership with Animoca Brands marked a new way for the AFL to interact with fans.
'Our aim is to continue to bring fans new ways of engaging in Australian football and by partnering with Animoca Brands, we will be playing in a digital space that is only getting bigger,' he said.
'We are officially entering the Web3 space and excited to immortalise moments in time across our AFL and AFLW competitions.'
Daily Mail Australia contacted the AFL for comment, but was ignored.

Encore: Like Kit's planning for the end of a life
Talking about death makes many of us uncomfortable. NPR's Life Kit offers tips for starting an advance directive to prepare for a good death. (Story aired on All Things Considered on July, 12, 2020.)
A MARTINEZ, HOST:
Thinking about death makes most people uncomfortable, which means many of us end up not planning. NPR's Life Kit looked into preparing for the end. Reporter Kavitha Cardoza explains a simple document called an advance directive.
KAVITHA CARDOZA, BYLINE: You don't need to have a medical background or a lawyer to fill out an advance directive. You don't even need a lot of time. And I promise it's not too morbid. You can easily find an advance directive form online. There are different versions, but basically, it has two sections. The first is the most important - the medical power of attorney. Choose a person who can legally make health care decisions for you if you can't.
PALLAVI KUMAR: Think about the person in your life who understands you, your goals, your values, your priorities and then is able to set aside their own wishes for you and to be a voice for you.
CARDOZA: That's Dr. Pallavi Kumar, a medical oncologist and palliative care physician at the University of Pennsylvania. She says your medical proxy should be someone you trust who can handle stress because your loved ones will disagree on what to do, and it can be emotional. So you want to name someone who will carry out your wishes. Kumar says research shows when a caregiver sees a loved one die in the hospital under circumstances they believe that person never would have wanted, they're in emotional pain for a long time.
KUMAR: And at six months and a year after death, these bereaved caregivers are still suffering from pretty severe depression and anxiety. There's even some data to show that the survival for those caregivers is shortened.
CARDOZA: So think of an advance directive as a gift you're giving your loved ones. The second section of the advance directive document is called a living will. This part walks you through the general approach of how you want to die and what kind of care you want. Do you want to be resuscitated? Are you OK being hooked up to a ventilator? How do you feel about a feeding tube? Dr. Jessica Zitter is an ICU and palliative care physician in California. She says there's no right or wrong decision. It's personal.
JESSICA ZITTER: Someone once told me her father was - she says, he's an old, crusty Italian man, and he said if someone else has to wipe my behind, I do not want to live. But there's many, many others of us - if I was quadriplegic and still have an intellectual and emotional relationship with people, I don't think I'd want to die.
CARDOZA: Even among patients who are very, very sick with cancer, less than half have had conversations about how they want to die. So it's critical to share your wishes with your medical proxy and your loved ones as well as your doctor. Share a copy of the form with them.
Dr. Pallavi Kumar says the end of life is about more than just the medical aspect. When she knows a person's priorities, that helps inform her treatment plan. For some patients, it might mean spending time at home with family. For others, it means trying every treatment possible for as long as possible.
KUMAR: They would say, if you're telling me that a chemotherapy could give me another month, I want that month because that's another month I have with my 6-year-old.
CARDOZA: While no one can predict when they'll die, an advance directive can help you plan for how. It's not a guarantee but a safety net for having what Dr. Zitter thinks of as a good death.
ZITTER: In order to figure out what a good death is, you have to figure out what a good life is and what living well means to you. That's the only way to know how to die well because, actually, they're kind of reflections of each other.
CARDOZA: For NPR News, I'm Kavitha Cardoza.

India plans to impose heavy penalties and mandate recalls if electric vehicle (EV) companies are found to be negligent, as part of new "quality-centric" rules, the country's transport minister said, after a spate of fires involving e-scooters.
In the meantime, companies may take advance action to recall all defective batches of vehicles immediately, Nitin Gadkari said on Twitter on Thursday, adding that the safety of every commuter is a priority for the government.
"Several mishaps involving electric two-wheelers have come to light in last two months. If any company is found negligent in their processes, a heavy penalty will be imposed and a recall of all defective vehicles will also be ordered," Gadkari said.
In recent weeks, there have been close to a dozen cases of e-scooters catching fire or being involved in them, including one made by SoftBank Group-backed Ola Electric, sparking safety concerns among some buyers.
Scooters involving Indian start-ups Okinawa and PureEV have also been involved in fire incidents, in what some say could be an early setback for a nascent sector that is key to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's carbon reduction and climate goals.
India wants electric scooters and motorbikes to make up 80% of total two-wheeler sales by 2030, compared with about 2% today, and Modi's administration is offering companies billions of dollars in incentives to make EVs locally.
The government has already launched an investigation into the fires and Gadkari said a committee of experts has been formed to make recommendations on remedial steps.
"Based on the reports, we will issue necessary orders on the defaulting companies," he said.

South Carolina prisoner indicted after threatening POTUS and other officials
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - A South Carolina prisoner was indicted by a Grand Jury Tuesday, April 19, 2022 after making threatening statements against President Joe Biden and other federal officials.
Eric Rome is currently incarcerated in the Kirkland Correctional Institution on armed robbery charges. Tuesday’s indictment said Rome made multiple threats starting in 2020 until March of 2022 by mailing letters or leaving voicemail while in prison. Rome was previously convicted of threatening President Barack Obama in 2015.
In his statements, Rome says he is a member of the Aryan Brotherhood of South Carolina and the Greenville, South Carolina Proud Boys.
On July 13, 2020, Rome is indicted with sending a letter to the United States Probation Office aimed at his supervising probation officer, “Upon my release I intend to arm myself and enter your offices in order to shoot as many agents as I can until I myself am gunned down.”
On June 28, 2021 Rome left a voicemail with the department, “I’ve got an escape plan and my intention is to escape and kill Kamala Harris the Vice President.”
On June 30, 2021 the indictment says Rome called the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) and left a voicemail saying, “I’ve an escape attempt planned to get out of this prison, which shouldn’t be hard because it’s done in SCDC all the time, and carry out a sniper attack on Joe Biden and take his life.”
On July 1, 2021 the indictment says he mailed a letter from the Lieber Correctional Institution to the United States Supreme Court. In it he claims there is a lethal dose of anthrax in the letter and , “Its [sic] my sincere hope that is kills one or more of you.”
On February 8, 2022 a letter was mailed by Rome from the Broad River Correctional Institution to the Mark. O. Hatfield United States Courthouse in Portland, Oregon. The indictment says he wrote, “This letter contains weapons grade anthrax. Your [sic] as good as dead having opened this.”
On March 14, 2022 Rome sent a letter to the United States District Court in Columbia directed to a district judge and a magistrate judge, “We, the Aryan Brotherhood, are going to kill you both.”

NBA roundup: Grizzlies rally to take series lead vs. Wolves
Desmond Bane scored 26 points to lift the visiting Memphis Grizzlies to a 104-95 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday in Game 3 of a Western Conference first-round playoff series in Minneapolis.
Bane sank seven 3-pointers as the second-seeded Grizzlies overcame a 26-point deficit to seize a 2-1 lead in the series. Game 4 is Saturday in Minneapolis.
Brandon Clarke collected 20 points and eight rebounds off the bench for the Grizzlies, who outscored seventh-seeded Minnesota 37-12 in the fourth quarter. Ja Morant overcame a 5-for-18 shooting performance to finish with 16 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.
Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell scored 22 points, a stark contrast to his performance in the first two games of the series. He sank just 5 of 22 shots in Games 1 and 2 while scoring 21 points.
Warriors 118, Nuggets 113
Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole scored 27 points each, Klay Thompson added 26 and visiting Golden State beat Denver to take a 3-0 lead in their Western Conference first-round playoff series.
Gary Payton II had 11 points and Draymond Green finished with 10 assists for Golden State, which can close out the series Sunday in Denver.
Nikola Jokic had 37 points and 18 rebounds for the Nuggets, who have lost seven straight playoff games dating back to last season. Aaron Gordon added 18 points and 12 rebounds.
Mavericks 126, Jazz 118
Jalen Brunson scored 31 points and Dallas survived Utah's comeback attempt to take a 2-1 lead in their first-round Western Conference playoff series with a win in Salt Lake City.
Brunson led seven Dallas players in double digits to compensate for the absence of superstar Luka Doncic, who has yet to play in the series due to a strained left calf.
Spencer Dinwiddie scored 20 points, while Maxi Kleber (17 points) and Davis Bertans (15 points) each drained four 3-pointers. Dallas snapped an 11-game losing streak at Utah.

More than 99% of Americans and around 83% of the world population lives under light polluted skies.
While people may be aware that light pollution exists, the harms of artificial light creeping into the night sky are not illuminated. Seeing as International Dark Sky Week is this April 22-30, it seems like a good time to consider the less than visible threat, light pollution, and simple and effective ways to combat it.
Light pollution is the product of excessive light. A common misconception is that light pollution simply means lights are on at night, but in reality light pollution has to do with excess light. Excess light can be a bulb kept on overnight when it doesn’t need to be, decorative lights and even lights that aren’t positioned well, leading to light escaping upward or outward.
This seems like a non-problem or maybe an annoyance at first glance, but light pollution has direct and indirect influence on people, animals and the Earth.
Dark Sky Week has a special place in Nebraska. Nebraska Tourism recognized Dark Sky Week in 2020 with a lights out event. The event encouraged turning off unnecessary lights at night and considering motion sensors and other means of reducing unnecessary light at homes and businesses.
This year, while there is no such event by Nebraska Tourism, I wholeheartedly recommend recognizing Dark Sky Week by considering ways you can recognize and reduce light pollution.
Light pollution has an effect on how much of the night sky we can see. More than 80% of Americans and one third of the planet can’t see the Milky Way at night. Each unnecessary light on at night adds to the problem.
Stargazing is one of the appeals of Nebraska, being home to plenty of open rural land where the night sky still remains visible. Stargazing is getting more attention in Nebraska, attracting a growing number of annual tourists from places with less visibility, such as cities.
Light pollution also damages ecosystems if left unchecked. Most animals, humans included, rely on a circadian rhythm, or an internal clock that controls when you get tired. The problem is, circadian rhythms are normally controlled by the amount of light in the environment. If it doesn’t get dark, key chemicals don’t get produced, resulting in adverse health effects and fatigue.
While humans certainly feel this, many nocturnal animals have been fighting an unseen battle against artificial light. Light pollution has detrimental effects on ecosystems that manipulate migration patterns, disrupts circadian rhythms and can cause habitat loss by pushing species out.
Excess light also requires and creates emissions. The amount of light pollution in any given area correlates with the amount of fuel needed to sustain it. Americans waste roughly 35% of light to the tune of roughly $3 billion annually due to inefficient methods, which isn’t a particularly small power bill.
Being aware of the problem, there are several things that can be done on individual, private and public levels that could help reduce light pollution.
The easiest and quickest solution to light pollution is to simply consider turning more lights off at night. While lights such as streetlights can be necessary, many lights simply don’t need to be on overnight. A light that’s turned off can’t pollute.
Many organizations suggest shielding lights, or placing barriers on light fixtures to focus the light downward. This alone prevents lights from contributing as much pollution and is more efficient. It keeps the light where it needs to be, allowing it to run on less energy.
Another easy step that can be taken is simply considering which bulbs you use in outdoor lighting. The general recommendation is to use LED bulbs, which reduce luminance but not visibility. LED bulbs also run longer on less energy, so you can save money while being eco-friendly.
Commonly, people tend to treat light pollution as an annoyance or an inevitability. Cities need light to operate, even at night, so why should we try to combat it?
Light is sometimes necessary, but light pollution isn’t. Having lights outdoors is not necessarily light pollution, but lights outside contribute to pollution when they are putting off unwanted or excess light.
An additional approach to protecting the sky is considering access to nature as a right, not a privilege. Some communities have started recognizing a Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights in recognition that having direct exposure to nature is necessary for growth and development. Many urban areas such as San Francisco and several states recognize this initiative. Nebraska, while not being among them, announced a commitment to outdoor learning in 2020.
While different places define these rights slightly differently, they all include a recognition of sleeping under visible stars as a right.
It’s important to recognize the effects of light pollution if we ever hope to repair the damage it’s done to our health, ecosystems and discovery. Light pollution could be left alone if it was really just an annoyance, but it’s clear that there are real consequences that make it necessary to at least make an effort.
Because light pollution damages ecosystems, the environment and psychological health, it is in everyone’s interest to consider light pollution this Dark Sky Week. If Lincolnites don't curb light pollution, we will soon have to pretend that airplanes in the night stars are like shooting stars whenever we need a wish.

(LEAD) Woori Financial reports record quarterly earnings in Q1
(ATTN: RECASTS throughout with details; CHANGES headline)
SEOUL, April 22 (Yonhap) -- Woori Financial Group Inc., a major South Korean banking group, reported record quarterly earnings in the first quarter, driven by increased interest income.
Net profit came to 917.5 billion won (US$739.6 million) in the January-March period, up 27.6 percent from a year earlier, the group said in a regulatory filing. From three months earlier, earnings soared 106 percent.
Operating profit rose 31.6 percent on-year to 1.23 trillion won and sales gained 2.9 percent to 8.97 trillion won.
The earnings exceeded market expectations. The average estimate of net profit by analysts stood at 788.9 billion won, according to the survey by Yonhap Infomax, the financial data firm of Yonhap News Agency.
The group said interest income gained ground in line with rising market rates following the central bank's rate hikes.
Interest income rose 22.7 percent on-year to 1.99 trillion won on the back of lending growth and non-interest income rose 4.4 percent to 383.5 billion won.
In April, the Bank of Korea (BOK) raised its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point to 1.5 percent, the fourth rate increase since August last year, including the January hike, to tame inflation and curb high household debt.
Woori Bank, the group's banking unit, saw its first-quarter earnings rise 29.2 percent on-year to 764.5 billion won.
The bank's net interest margin, a key gauge of profitability, came to 1.49 percent in the first quarter, up 14 basis points from a year ago.

As state lawmakers moved to ban transgender kids from girls’ sports, Kansas’ most visible LGBTQ-rights lobbyist recently said during an interview in a Statehouse corridor that conservatives don’t mind if kindergartners “have their genitals inspected."
The politically needling comment was bold enough to make Tom Witt's point, and loud enough for a lobbyist supporter of the ban to hear as she walked by. It was also classic Witt: Boisterous. Engaged. And well-targeted.
Witt is a key reason Kansas is unlikely to join a growing number of states this year with a ban, despite Republican supermajorities in its Legislature. With lawmakers returning Monday from a spring break, supporters don't yet have the two-thirds majorities to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of their bill. They didn't last year, either.
Witt, 60, is the executive director of Equality Kansas and a Democratic consultant. During 18 years at the Statehouse, he's spotlighted conservatives' bills so that unwanted publicity prompts Republican leaders to disavow them or discourages GOP-led committees from even holding hearings. Others describe him as relentless in pursuing just enough “no” votes when it counts, and was influential enough in the state Democratic Party to help push it to the left.
More Transgender Rights Coverage
He's even let his health slide. In 2017, he ignored growing fatigue to successfully lobby against requiring transgender students to use facilities associated with their genders assigned at birth — then had a heart attack and bypass surgery.
As for this year's bill, he said unnamed Republicans told him they “really hate” it before voting for it anyway. He said he's bitter that they might have considered the political cost of voting no.
“This is life and death for some kids,” he said. “This is not trivial. This is not politics.”
Witt plans to retire from activism, lobbying and consulting by year's end, having mentored younger, self-described progressive lobbyists.
Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Byers, the state's first elected transgender lawmaker and a retired Wichita band director, credits Witt with connecting her to national groups and making media interviews easier to navigate during her 2020 campaign. Kari Rinker, a friend and American Heart Association lobbyist, said he taught her how to fundraise and work with a nonprofit board.
But Witt is sometimes profane and often pugnacious, even with friends. As for lawmakers, he said, party doesn't matter: “If they vote against LGBT rights, I’m going to go after them."
Brittany Jones, the conservative lobbyist who was walking by Witt's recent hallway interview, begins her recollection of their Statehouse introduction in 2019 with, "I believe he’s made in the image of God just like I am.”
“As soon as he found out who I worked for, he dropped my hand, walked away and wouldn’t speak to me,” said Jones, policy director for the conservative group Kansas Family Voice. Witt doesn't dispute that.
As Witt fights to keep Kansas from following at least 15 other states in banning transgender athletes from female school and college sports, some Kansas lawmakers are conflicted.
State Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, voted no earlier this month but said “reasonable” constituents see the bill as common sense. He was the deciding vote last year against a veto override, giving a speech weighing both sides before voting no — as Witt sat in the main visitors’ gallery, visibly on edge.
“You know, it’s kind of like he’s a Marine Corps drill sergeant when he is committed to the advocacy for his ideology,” Haley said. “It’s like, ‘Everybody line up. This is the way it’s going to go.’”
The Kansas measures have applied to K-12 students, and a few lawmakers cite that as a problem. Witt said elementary schools would be forced to physically inspect children as young as 5 to settle disputes over transgender kids competing against other girls.
The bill’s text doesn’t say exactly how disputes would be resolved, and Haley called Witt’s argument “a little bit beyond belief.” State Rep. Barbara Wasinger, a Republican from western Kansas, said Witt's argument is diverting attention from what she sees as the real issues: fair competition and scholarship opportunities for young women.
But Witt sees this year's proposals triggering bullying and suicides. He pointed out a scar on his left cheek and said it's from being attacked and cut with a knife in a high school bathroom in the 1970s.
“In some respects, not a damn thing has changed,” he said. "In the 70s, the things that trans people are being called today are what gays and lesbians were called then. The panic about bathrooms? We had the bathroom panic in the 70s.”
He also recalled how his activism began ahead of a 2005 statewide vote in favor of banning same-sex marriage in Kansas. A computer software writer and IT troubleshooter, he was living in Wichita with his future husband and their daughter.
“All I ever wanted in my life was a family,” Witt said. “And it felt like those people were coming after it.”

Associated Press
ZAPORIZHZHIA,Ukraine (AP) — New satellite images show what appear to be mass graves near Mariupol, and local officials accused Russia of burying up to 9,000 Ukrainian civilians there in an effort to conceal the slaughter taking place in the siege of the port city.
The images emerged Thursday, just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the battle for Mariupol, despite the presence of an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters who were still holed up at a giant steel mill. Putin ordered his troops to seal off the stronghold “so that not even a fly comes through” instead of storming it.
Satellite image provider Maxar Technologies released the photos, which it said showed more than 200 mass graves in a town where Ukrainian officials say the Russians have been burying Mariupol residents killed in the fighting. The imagery showed long rows of graves stretching away from an existing cemetery in the town of Manhush, outside Mariupol.
Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko accused the Russians of “hiding their military crimes” by taking the bodies of civilians from the city and burying them in Manhush.
The graves could hold as many as 9,000 dead, the Mariupol City Council said Thursday in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
Boychenko labeled Russian actions in the city as “the new Babi Yar,” a reference to the site of multiple Nazi massacres in which nearly 34,000 Ukrainian Jews were killed in 1941.
“The bodies of the dead were being brought by the truckload and actually simply being dumped in mounds,” an aide to Boychenko, Piotr Andryushchenko, said on Telegram.
There was no immediate reaction from the Kremlin. When mass graves and hundreds of dead civilians were discovered in Bucha and other towns around Kyiv after Russian troops retreated three weeks ago, Russian officials denied that their soldiers killed any civilians there and accused Ukraine of staging the atrocities.
In a statement, Maxar said a review of previous images indicates that the graves in Manhush were dug in late March and expanded in recent weeks.
After nearly two lethal months of bombardment that largely reduced Mariupol to a smoking ruin, Russian forces appear to control the rest of the strategic southern city, including its vital but now badly damaged port.
But a few thousand Ukrainian troops, by Moscow’s estimate, have stubbornly held out for weeks at the steel plant, despite a pummeling from Russian forces and repeated demands for their surrender. About 1,000 civilians were also trapped there, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused Russia of launching attacks to block civilian evacuations from Mariupol.
At least two Russian attacks on Thursday hit the city of Zaporizhzhia, a way station for people fleeing Mariupol. No one was wounded, the regional governor said.
Among those who arrived in Zaporizhzhia after fleeing the city were Yuriy and Polina Lulac, who spent nearly two months living in a basement with at least a dozen other people. There was no running water and little food, Yuriy Lulac said.
“What was happening there was so horrible that you can’t describe it,” said the native Russian speaker who used a derogatory word for the Russian troops, saying they were “killing people for nothing.”
“Mariupol is gone. In the courtyards there are just graves and crosses,” Lulac said.
The Red Cross said it had expected to to evacuate 1,500 people by bus, but that the Russians allowed only a few dozen to leave and pulled some people off of the buses.
Dmitriy Antipenko said he lived mostly in a basement with his wife and father-in-law amid death and destruction.
“In the courtyard, there was a little cemetery, and we buried seven people there,” Antipenko said, wiping away tears.
Instead of sending troops to finish off the Mariupol defenders inside the steel factory in a potentially bloody frontal assault, Russia apparently intends to maintain the siege and wait for the fighters to surrender when they run out of food or ammunition.
All told, more than 100,000 people were believed trapped with little or no food, water, heat or medicine in Mariupol, which had a prewar population of about 430,000. Over 20,000 people have been killed in the siege, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The city has seized worldwide attention as the scene of some of the worst suffering of the war, including deadly airstrikes on a maternity hospital and a theater.
Boychenko rejected any notion that Mariupol had fallen into Russian hands.
“The city was, is and remains Ukrainian,” he declared. “Today our brave warriors, our heroes, are defending our city.”
The capture of Mariupol would represent the Kremlin’s biggest victory yet of the war in Ukraine. It would help Moscow secure more of the coastline, complete a land bridge between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized in 2014, and free up more forces to join the larger and potentially more consequential battle now underway for Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, the Donbas.
At a joint appearance with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Putin declared, “The completion of combat work to liberate Mariupol is a success,” and he offered congratulations to Shoigu.
Shoigu predicted the Azovstal steel mill could be taken in three to four days. But Putin said that would be “pointless” and expressed concern for the lives of Russian troops in deciding against sending them in to clear out the sprawling plant, where the die-hard defenders were hiding in a maze of underground passageways.
Instead, the Russian leader said, the military should “block off this industrial area so that not even a fly comes through.”
The plant covers 11 square kilometers (4 square miles) and is threaded with some 24 kilometers (15 miles) of tunnels and bunkers.
“The Russian agenda now is not to capture these really difficult places where the Ukrainians can hold out in the urban centers, but to try and capture territory and also to encircle the Ukrainian forces and declare a huge victory,” retired British Rear Adm. Chris Parry said.
Russian officials for weeks have said capturing the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas is the war’s main objective. Moscow’s forces opened the new phase of the fighting this week along a 300-mile (480-kilometer) front from the northeastern city of Kharkiv to the Azov Sea.
While Russia continued heavy air and artillery attacks in those areas, it did not appear to gain any significant ground over the past few days, according to military analysts, who said Moscow’s forces were still ramping up the offensive.
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the Pentagon’s assessment, said the Ukrainians were hindering the Russian effort to push south from Izyum.
Rockets struck a neighborhood of Kharkiv on Thursday, and at least two civilians were burned to death in their car. A school and a residential building were also hit, and firefighters tried to put out a blaze and search for anyone trapped.
Elsewhere, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Russian troops kidnapped a local official heading up a humanitarian convoy in the southern Kherson region. She said the Russians offered to free him in exchange for Russian prisoners of war, but she characterized that as unacceptable.
Vereshchuk also said efforts to establish three humanitarian corridors in the Kherson region failed Thursday because Russian troops did not hold their fire.
In the U.S., President Joe Biden pledged an additional $1.3 billion for new weapons and economic assistance to help Ukraine, and he promised to seek much more from Congress to keep the guns, ammunition and cash flowing.

Worcestershire fish pass and footbridge damaged by fire

A footbridge and fish pass have been damaged in a fire involving flood debris.
The fish pass at Bevere in Worcestershire was one of two installed as part of the Unlocking the Severn project, enabling fish to travel up weirs along the River Severn.
The team behind the £20m river project said it was "devastated" by the damage caused by the fire on Wednesday night.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service has been contacted for comment.
Lorna Pederson, the group's community engagement manager, said the group believed the fire had been started deliberately.
She said the team had been working to clear the debris since Thursday.
"There was a large amount of debris on top of the fish pass and there seems to have been quite a serious fire that has taken place overnight.
"It is really difficult to know what has happened but it does seem quite unlikely that the debris would have caught fire spontaneously.
"It is likely to still be quite damp from the flooding and there is nothing around that area so we don't know, but it does seem it may have been set alight on purpose by somebody," she said.
The team inspected the area and reported that water flow seemed to be good and fish should still be able to pass underneath, but damage to the footbridge was their greatest concern.
Ms Pederson said the group would work with local authorities to find out what had happened and whether anything could be done to prevent it happening in future.

Retail sales plunge as consumer confidence 'nears financial crisis all-time low'
The data, coupled with a closely-watched reading of consumer confidence, places the Bank of England in a tricky position as it decides whether to hike interest rates for a fourth consecutive time.
Friday 22 April 2022 08:08, UK
Retail sales plunged by 1.4% last month - far more than expected - as consumers tightened their belts in the face of the squeeze in living costs, according to official figures.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the decline was largely driven by a drop in demand for online purchases and pointed to dented demand generally amid soaring inflation.
There was little sign for optimism among retailers except for the owners of DIY shops, though the data did suggest that COVID-weary consumers shifted discretionary spending towards hospitality and attractions instead as the weather improved.
Economists had expected a 0.3% decline in sales month-on-month while the ONS also downwardly revised February's fall in retail sales.
The figures were released as a closely-watched measure of consumer confidence, covering April, delivered its second-lowest reading since records began nearly 50 years ago.
ONS Director of Economic Statistics Darren Morgan said of the retails sales data: "Retail sales fell back notably in March with rises in the cost of living hitting consumers' spending.
"Online sales were hit particularly hard due to lower levels of discretionary spending.
"Fuel sales also fell substantially, with evidence suggesting some people reduced non-essential journeys, following record high petrol prices, while food sales continued to fall, dropping for the fifth consecutive month."
It all makes for worrying reading at the Bank of England.
The GfK index, derived from a survey, came in at -38 - worse than economists had expected and just shy of the all-time low seen in 2008 as the global financial crisis was gathering pace.
The responses were registered at a time when we learned that inflation had hit a 30-year high of 7%.
It is forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility to climb above 9% after the unprecedented surge in the energy price cap in April - and rises in other household bills such as mobile, water and broadband are reflected in the calculations.
The price cap is currently expected to rise further - by up to £500 - in October when the effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine are included, while the retail sector expects price rises to intensify throughout 2022.
GfK reported a sharp decrease in consumers' intentions to make major purchases.
All the data will be taken into account by rate-setters at the Bank, who have signalled more caution on rising rates ahead after lifting Bank rate to 0.75% at their last meeting.
They will be anxious not to choke off economic growth through rising interest rates, which are intended to stop rising inflation expectations, such as wage hikes, rather than rising prices as the inflation has been caused by factors outside their control including energy and food costs.
Inflation, while not demand-led, is nevertheless proving more sticky and persistent than policymakers had expected and financial markets still forecast a 0.25% rate hike at the next meeting of the monetary policy committee in two weeks' time.
That is because the inflationary fires have been stoked by Russia's war against Ukraine.
However, Bank governor Andrew Bailey admitted on Thursday that policymakers were walking a tight line between tackling inflation and avoiding recession.
Joe Staton, client strategy director at GfK, said of its survey findings: "This is dire news for consumer confidence and with little prospect of any economic relief on the horizon we can only forecast further falls in the index for the year ahead."

NEW YORK (AP) — Kurt Vile says he’s always thinking about making catchy music — yet his attempts usually end up sounding fried or sizzled out.
It’s an apt description of this Philadelphia-based songwriter and guitarist’s vibe, amiable and hypnotic, the songs alone seemingly capable of producing a contact high. Vile’s new disc, his ninth, marks a professional turning point if not a musical one.
After years where Vile was the quintessential indie rock artist, his new “(watch my moves)” is being marketed and distributed by Verve Records, a label best known for its jazz heritage and Jon Batiste’s recent Grammy-winning album.
“It’s not as much of an outlier as people would think,” said Jamie Krents, the label’s chief executive. “Verve was Velvet Underground’s home. I’m a huge Kurt Vile fan so him signing to Verve has been incredibly meaningful to me.”
Vile said he was searching for a new recording home, and the timing was right when Verve approached him.
“I like that it’s not an indie rock label,” he said. “I like to be connected to classic jazz things. It’s just a label anyway, literally and metaphorically.”
The association has done nothing to change his music. If anything, “(watch my moves)” looks more inward, reflecting a time that Vile was home with his wife and two daughters during the pandemic and recording in a newly-built home studio.
He’s a strong-willed dad. His daughters, ages 9 and 11, are home-schooled (his wife is a former teacher) and he keeps them away from phones or other screens.
“I was happy to live a normal life and be a normal dad,” he said. “I was missing something. Turns out we were all missing something, missing just being a normal dad who was there everyday.”
New songs such as “Like Exploding Stones” and “Hey Like a Child” offer a spaced-out sound behind Vile’s deadpan vocals, often said as much as sung.
Lyrically, Vile “often will just narrate the contents of his head,” critic Kitty Empire once wrote. Describing, as he does at one point, “playin’ in the music room in my underwear,” verges on too much information. He opens “Say the Word” with a description: “I wrote the words to this song drivin’ from Philly to Amherst.”
You can feel the satisfaction when he talks about taking a trip to a gig where he supports an artist he’s frequently been compared to.
“Gonna open up for Neil Young,” he sings. “Man, life can sure be fun. Imagine if I knew this when I was young.”
Asked about his influences, Vile refers to a documentary where Tom Petty answers the same question by saying, “the radio.” He began writing songs at age 14 when his father gave him a banjo — he wanted a guitar — and played in bands together in the 2000s with his pal Adam Granduciel, frontman of The War on Drugs. They parted friends, both wanting to concentrate on their own music.
“Most of my influences are things you can play over and over again,” Vile said. “They have some kind of a groove there, where you don’t have to stop.”
But it’s hardly aimless. Krents considers Vile a master guitar player, with his own distinct phrasing and sound. The new “Hey Like a Child” builds from a particularly memorable riff.
In Australia, Courtney Barnett bought Vile’s 2011 album “Smoke Ring for My Halo” because she liked the cover. Six years later, the two made their own album together, “Lotta Sea Lice.”
“We’re both obsessives, and his musical obsessions are infectious,” Barnett said. “He showed me lots of amazing music that I had never heard. And humor was our other connector. Kurt makes me laugh more than anybody in the world.”
She said she likes Vile’s songwriting “because it’s so him, and he’s unafraid to be that. He really creates this entire other world within his songs.”
With 92 million streams on Spotify, Vile’s 2015 song “Pretty Pimpin” is his most popular. It boosts the tempo — one critic even called it “jaunty” — but fits neatly into his aesthetic.
On the new album Vile — that’s his real name, by the way, even though it seems like the kind of rock ‘n roll stage name that Johnny Rotten would admire — covers an obscure Bruce Springsteen song, “Wages of Sin.” His song, “Stuffed Leopard” also quotes Springsteen’s “Candy’s Room” — he happened to be listening to it while writing.
Verve’s Krents said he hopes to expand Vile’s audience, particularly overseas. He also hopes Vile’s signing sends a message to other artists and listeners that Verve is more eclectic than they might have considered.
Krents said the company let Vile make the recording that he wanted and didn’t try to influence him in any direction.
“We didn’t sign him to change him,” he said. “We signed him to amplify what he does.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Viola Davis’ latest honor is not for her acting, but for her writing. The Oscar winner’s upcoming memoir, “Finding Me,” is Oprah Winfrey’s new book club pick.
“Finding Me,” which comes out next Tuesday, traces Davis’ journey from what she has called a “crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island” to acclaim for her work on stage and screen. Her many prizes include a Tony for the 2010 Broadway production of August Wilson’s “Fences” and an Academy Award for the film adaptation of “Fences” that came out in 2016.
Within hours of Winfrey’s announcement, “Finding Me” was in the top 5 on the Amazon.com bestseller list.
“After I finished reading the first paragraph, I knew this was a book I wanted to share with the world,” Winfrey said in a statement Thursday. “I am in awe that Viola overcame all that she did to not only survive but become a role model for the world as a renowned actress, a mother, a wife and the woman that she is today.”
In a statement Thursday, Davis said she was “beyond honored” and thanked Winfrey for her support.
“The courage to share this story has been equal to my fear,” Davis said. “Your acknowledgement has been like a huge embrace. Thank you for championing me and for giving me a platform to share my truth to the world.”
Beginning Friday, Winfrey’s interview with Davis can be streamed on Netflix. Winfrey and Davis also will speak May 16 for an interactive book club gathering presented by OprahDaily.com, the online hub for Winfrey’s book club.
As with Winfrey’s previous pick, Martha Beck’s “The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self,”Thursday’s announcement makes no reference to the Apple partnership Winfrey launched in September 2019 with Ta-Nehisi Coates’ novel “The Water Dancer.” A Winfrey spokesperson said that Winfrey is currently in production with Apple on a documentary about thelate Sidney Poitier, whose memoir “The Measure of a Man” was a book club pick in 2007.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Four years after university students led protests against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, his government is minimizing chances of a reoccurrence by seizing a dozen private universities and closing them or shifting control to the state.
A generation of students who participated in the April 2018 protests saw their education interrupted. Many were forced into hiding, jailed or exiled when Ortega’s police cracked down. Now others who managed to resume their studies worry they won’t be able to finish or have finished but can’t find work because the now state-run schools haven’t given them diplomas.
The seizure of the private universities in recent months and the passage of education reforms that increase state control are the latest examples of Ortega’s relentless pursuit of those he believes conspired to try to overthrow his government.
“In April 2018, the regime took the repression to limits never seen in recent years,” said Ernesto Medina, who led American University in Managua for 11 years until the end of 2018 and who is in exile in Germany. “That’s when we realized that Ortega would not stop until he punished the universities and the students.”
A request for comment to first lady and Vice President Rosario Murillo, who is also the government’s spokeswoman, was not answered.
Earlier this year, dozens of leading opposition figures were tried, convicted and sentenced for allegedly trying to destabilize Ortega’s government. Nongovernmental organizations that worked on a range of issues were closed — including 25 more on Wednesday — along with independent media outlets.
The Sandinista-controlled congress in late March passed reforms to two education laws that reduce university autonomy and increase government control, experts say. The changes also cut government funding to the Jesuit-led Central American University in Managua, another center of protest in April 2018. Those government funds had been used to offer scholarships to low-income students.
Ortega has sought “revenge” against the schools, Medina said. “Ortega’s objective is to consolidate the government’s and the Sandinista Front’s political control over universities.”
Ortega recognizes how university campuses can generate social upheaval. Many of the Sandinista guerrillas who fought beside him to overthrow dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979 came from the universities as leaders of similar movements in Latin America and around the world have.
Nicaraguan universities lost their autonomy temporarily after the revolution as well when the junta that governed the transition chose university administrators.
“We were responsible for that abuse and now we are paying for it,” said Medina, who at that time supported the Sandinistas.
Of the 12 universities seized, seven are based in Nicaragua and five were the virtual campuses of foreign universities. In each case, congress alleged administrative failures and financial incompliance as justification for the seizures.
The universities’ property was transferred to the state and three new large universities with a combined enrollment of 18,000 were created using that infrastructure.
For weeks in 2018, students occupied Nicaragua Polytechnic University in Managua, fearful they would be killed if they left. There were frequent skirmishes with police and Sandinista youth. They treated their wounded while trying to coordinate with students at other universities.
Now the school, known as UPOLI with an enrollment of 8,000, has been renamed National Polytechnic University or UNP. The new university’s Facebook page is full of comments from students or recent graduates worried about getting the paperwork they need to find jobs in their fields.
One, a recent nursing graduate who asked not to be identified because she feared retaliation, said despite graduating in November, she was still waiting on documents necessary to find a job.
The woman had gone to public hospitals, the medical workers union and private clinics and in each instance was told she could not be employed until she had her degree and a code given to graduates.
Her pursuit of answers from university administrators has been a frustrating series of deflections and delays.
“A week passed, then two weeks. We went to the nursing school, we don’t have an answer,” she said. “They just told us that they were going to change the leadership.”
To get by, when COVID-19 cases were surging, she cared for those infected in their homes. Now she cares for an elderly patient.
Another seized university was Paulo Freire University founded in 2007 by the lawyer Adrián Meza, a well-known Sandinista militant during the revolution, who later distanced himself from Ortega.
Meza moved to Costa Rica shortly after the government seized his university’s two buildings and all of the equipment at five sites around the country in February. He said there was an order for his arrest. The government had been hostile toward the university because of its defense of human rights, especially after Meza denounced the arrest of one its students late last year, he said.
What will happen to the university’s 1,500 students is unclear, despite the government’s promises of continuity, Meza said. The school’s political science department had not been approved to resume classes since the takeover.
The seizures have set the country’s education system back decades, he said.
“In fact we’re already in the Middle Ages where any expression of inconformity leads to jail,” he said.

BEIRUT (AP) — For journalist Amer Matar, a decade-long search for his younger brother has defined him and changed the course of his life, now dedicated to researching and documenting crimes committed by the Islamic State group in Syria.
His brother, Mohammed Nour Matar, vanished in Syria’s northern city of Raqqa in 2013 while reporting on an explosion that hit the headquarters of an insurgent group. His burnt camera was found at the scene of the blast, and his family soon after got word he was in an IS prison. But there has been no other sign of him since.
Mohammed Nour is among thousands of people believed to have been seized by the Islamic State, the extremist group that in 2014 overran large parts of Syria and Iraq, where it set up a so-called Islamic Caliphate and brutalized the population for years.
Three years after its territorial defeat, thousands are still missing and accountability for their captors remains elusive. Families of the missing feel abandoned by a world that has largely moved on, while they struggle alone to uncover the fate of their loved ones.
“These violations may constitute crimes against humanity, war crimes, and even genocide in some cases,” the Washington-based Syria Justice and Accountability Center said in a report published Thursday. “These families have the right to know the truth about the fate of their loved ones.”
The rights group says that between 2013 and 2017, when IS ruled much of northern and eastern Syria, the militant group detained thousands who remain missing and whose families continue to live in a state of grief and uncertainty.
In its report titled “Unearthing Hope: The Search for the Missing Victims of ISIS,” SJAC said that approximately 6,000 bodies have been exhumed from dozens of mass graves dug by IS in northeast Syria, and retrieved from buildings destroyed by airstrikes of the U.S.-led coalition during the military campaign that eventually brought down IS.
This may amount to approximately half of the total number of missing people in the northeast, according to the group, although estimates of the missing vary.
Mohammed Nour Matar had become a citizen journalist during Syria’s civil war, and he was often out with his camera documenting the conflict. He went missing on Aug. 13, 2013 while covering an explosion in Raqqa that went off outside the offices of the Ahfad al-Rasoul faction, one of several insurgent groups that were rivals of IS. He was 21 at the time and was working on a documentary about Raqqa and its residents’ opposition to IS.
Four months later, Raqqa became Syria’s first provincial capital to fall under the full control of IS. When the extremists declared a so-called caliphate in June 2014, the city became their de-facto capital. The group ruled Matar’s hometown of Raqqa with fear, setting up scores of detention centers in different parts of the city, brutalizing opponents and even placing heads of beheaded victims in the city’s Naim Square — Arabic for “Paradise.”
In the report, SJAC documented for the first time the vast web of detention facilities that were central to IS disappearances. Different wings of the IS security apparatus systematically used this network of 152 police stations, training camps, and secret security prisons to detain kidnapped civilians and members of rival armed groups, in some cases before issuing death sentences or summarily executing them.
It listed 33 detention facilities in the city of Raqqa alone.
SJAC says alleged perpetrators who may hold evidence necessary to identify remains are languishing in prisons of the U.S.-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces “with no fair judicial procedures in sight.” It says other former IS members live in their home countries where they returned after the group was defeated.
“The permanent defeat of ISIS cannot be secured without justice for the victims of the organization’s crimes, including those who remain missing,” it said.
Amer Matar, who now lives in Berlin with his parents and siblings, said they were told at one point that Mohammed Nour was being held in a jail in the city. Some former prisoners who had seen him there provided personal details that only the family knew.
But as of 2014, the family lost any proof of life.
Amer Matar has traveled to Syria several times over the past years to try get information about his brother, even going to mass graves as bodies were being removed.
The International Commission on Missing Persons has started collecting DNA samples from families of the missing but they are moving slowly, and Matar said his family has not given samples yet.
Also a journalist, Matar began a few years ago collecting thousands of IS documents and 3D photographs of IS detention centers. He now works with activists from Syria, Iraq, Germany, France, Japan and the U.S. to set up a virtual museum about the extremists.
He said the aim is to have a platform where the families of the missing can find information about their loved ones, where they can walk virtually inside the jails, see names of detainees, read documents and witness sites of mass graves and information about those buried there, whether in Syria or in Iraq.
Asked if his family has hope, Matar said that “the most difficult question is about hope. Sometimes I lose hope because logic says there is no hope.”
Asked if in his research he found evidence about Mohammed Nour, Matar said, “My mother asks me this question every month or every few weeks. My answer regrettably is, ‘We found nothing.”’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Many people in the U.S. still question whether President Joe Biden is showing enough strength in response to Russia’s war against Ukraine, even as most approve of steps Biden is already taking and few want U.S. troops to get involved in the conflict.
A poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows 54% of Americans think Biden has been “not tough enough” in his response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Thirty-six percent think his approach has been about right, while 8% say he’s been too tough.
But as the war has dragged on, Americans’ desire to get involved has waned somewhat. Thirty-two percent of Americans say the U.S. should have a major role in the conflict. That’s ticked back down from 40% last month, though that remains slightly higher than the 26% who said so in February. An additional 49% say the U.S. should have a minor role.
The results underscore the conundrum for the White House. As images of Russian attacks on civilians and hospitals are shared around the world, there’s pressure to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin and help millions of Ukrainians under attack in their home country or fleeing for safety. But Biden must also manage the threat of escalation with Putin, who has raised the alert level on using Russia’s nuclear weapons, and prevent the U.S. from getting involved in a much larger conflict.
“Given the potential desperation of President Putin and the Russian leadership, given the setbacks that they’ve faced so far militarily, none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons,” CIA Director William Burns said in a recent speech at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Burns added that “so far we haven’t seen a lot of practical evidence” of Russian nuclear escalation.
The White House has authorized more than $2 billion in weapons and led Western sanctions that have crushed the Russian economy. Biden announced Thursday an additional $800 million in military aid for Ukraine. Biden has ruled out sending U.S. troops — a decision supported by a majority of Americans.
The U.S. has also held back some weapons and defensive systems sought by Ukraine and placed early limits on intelligence sharing that have been loosened throughout the conflict.
The poll and follow-up interviews with respondents indicate many Americans, responding to images of Ukrainians being killed and Russian forces allegedly committing war crimes, want to see more action to stop Putin. A majority — 57% — say they believe Putin has directed his troops to commit war crimes. Just 6% say he has not, while 36% say they aren’t sure.
“I know that we’re not directly responsible,” said Rachel Renfro, a 35-year-old from Nashville, Tennessee. “But we’ve always been the kind of people that insert ourselves into these kinds of situations, and I don’t understand why we’re not doing that now to a bigger degree.”
Renfro wants to see the U.S. accept more refugees and provide more aid to Ukraine. Sending troops should be “an absolute last resort,” she said.
Most Americans are in favor of the U.S. sanctioning Russia for the invasion, providing weapons to Ukraine and accepting refugees from Ukraine into the U.S. More Americans also support than oppose deploying U.S. troops to Eastern Europe to support U.S. NATO allies in response to Russia’s invasion, and about two-thirds say NATO membership is good for the U.S.
But public support stops short of deploying U.S. troops to Ukraine to fight against Russian forces. Only 22% say they favor deploying U.S. troops to Ukraine to fight against Russian forces, while 55% are opposed; 23% say they are neither in favor nor opposed.
Michael Gonzalez, a 31-year-old from Fort Collins, Colorado, said Biden’s response was “about right,” citing wide-ranging sanctions on Russian banks, oligarchs, and government officials and their families.
“In a perfect world, I wish we can go out there with the troops,” said Gonzalez, whose father served in the Cuban military and whose stepfather worked as a private contractor during the U.S. war in Afghanistan. “I feel like we shouldn’t be policing the world and going everywhere. I wish we could help them, but we’ve been fighting for a while.”
Biden faces other significant political challenges heading into the midterms with inflation at a four-decade high and soaring energy prices exacerbated by the war. The poll suggests the balance in the tradeoff between sanctions on Russia and the U.S. economy might be shifting. By a narrow margin, Americans say the nation’s bigger priority is sanctioning Russia as effectively as possible over limiting damage to the U.S. economy, 51% to 45%. Last month, more said they prioritized sanctioning Russia over limiting damage to the economy, 55% to 42%.
Anthony Cordesman, emeritus chair in strategy at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, noted that Americans broadly support many actions the White House is already taking. Building up Ukraine’s air defense or sending more tanks and airplanes also requires setting up logistics, including radar and maintenance capabilities, that take far longer than many people would expect, Cordesman said.
The White House making that case to people who want more action carries its own risk.
“If you start communicating the limits to what we can do in detail, you may or may not reassure the American people, but you’re providing Russia with a lot of information that you scarcely want to communicate,” Cordesman said.

Which table saw is best?
A table saw is the staple piece of equipment needed for any serious home woodworker or construction professional. It makes ripping larger pieces of wood and sheets of plywood to size easier and is simple to operate.
When you are ready to step up to a heavy-duty saw that can handle anything you throw at it, the DeWalt 10-Inch Table Saw is a great choice.
What to know before you buy a table saw
Type of saw
Table saws come in four types.
- Portable: These are lightweight and travel well. Many construction workers that move from job site to job site opt for this type of saw. They can be plugged into any regular outlet and are more affordable. However, because they are lighter than less portable saws, they tend to be less stable and aren’t capable of handling bigger jobs.
- Contractor: These heavy saws can handle most woodworking tasks. They are great for cabinetry and furniture and have enough power to cut through thicker wood. They are heavy and more expensive than a portable saw.
- Cabinet: When you want to make smooth, perfect cuts through hardwood, a cabinet table saw is what you need. They are incredibly stable and are an immovable part of a woodshop. Unfortunately, this type of saw is costly and requires a dedicated electrical circuit to provide power.
- Hybrid: Hybrid saws bring together many of the best features of the other choices. They are lightweight but have a more powerful motor that can still be used with a standard outlet. In some cases, these saws come on a wheeled stand that makes them easier to move around. Although they are more expensive than a portable saw, they are significantly cheaper than a cabinet table saw.
With stand vs. without
If you select a portable saw, you’ll need to determine whether you will purchase a stand for it or use it on a tabletop. Having a separate stand makes moving around the job site easier, but some stands can be flimsy. On the other hand, if you choose to use the saw on a table, you’ll need to make sure a flat surface is available.
Rip capacity
The rip capacity is the largest measurement between the saw blade and the safety fence. This determines the size of wood you can send through the table saw. If you routinely cut large sheets of plywood, you’ll need a bigger rip capacity.
What to look for in a quality table saw
Safety features
Whenever there is a spinning blade, there is a risk of injury. Minimize this risk by choosing a table saw with plenty of safety features, including:
- Push stick
- Blade guard
- Anti-kickback features
- Sensors (detects conductivity in human skin and automatically shuts off)
- Magnetic switch (prevents the saw from turning back on after a power outage)
Dust collection
Dust collection does more than keep your workshop tidy. It also protects respiratory health by removing large particles and dust created during table saw operation. Many cabinet saws can be vented directly to the outside, but for other versions, look for a vacuum attachment.
Power
You’ll need to match the amount of power in your table saw to the type of work you plan to perform. In a home woodworking shop, 2-horsepower table saws should be sufficient.
How much you can expect to spend on a table saw
From a bare-bones model to higher-end hybrid saws, expect to spend $200- $1,000.
Table saw FAQ
How do you keep a table saw in working order?
A. Routine maintenance keeps your table saw in good working order for safe operation. This includes:
- Removing all sawdust regularly (use a stiff brush and a vacuum as needed)
- Lubricating gears and joints
- Removing pitch from cutting blades
- Cleaning tabletop with oil lubricant and steel wool
- Polishing the tabletop to allow materials to slide easily
- Cleaning plastic parts with mild soap
You will also need to check the alignment of the blade routinely. Your owner’s manual can help guide you through this process.
What can you use a table saw for?
A. Table saws can be used for everything from building furniture to siding a house. They allow you to cut wood to size and create grooves, slots, bevels and tenons for more elaborate woodworking projects.
What’s the best table saw to buy?

Skil Heavy-Duty Worm Drive Table Saw With Stand
What you need to know: This is great for job sites with uneven and rough terrain.
What you’ll love: Heavy-duty wheels on this stand get it to wherever it needs to go. The worm drive is powerful and capable of precise cuts. It features a vent that hooks up to a vacuum for dust collection.

Carlos Ghosn "surprised" by reports of French international arrest warrant
PARIS, April 22 (Reuters) - Carlos Ghosn, the former car executive at the helm of Renault and Nissan, was "surprised" by earlier media reports which stated that French prosecutors had issued an international arrest warrant for him, said a spokesperson for Ghosn.
"This is surprising, Ghosn has always co-operated with French authorities," a spokesperson for Ghosn told Reuters.
The spokesperson for Ghosn was reacting after the Wall Street Journal and French media reported that French prosecutors had issued an international arrest warrant for Ghosn.
An investigating magistrate issued five international arrest warrants against Ghosn and the current owners or former directors of the Omani company Suhail Bahwan Automobiles, a vehicle distributor in Oman, the prosecutor´s office in the Paris suburb of Nanterre said to The Wall Street Journal.
They allege Ghosn funneled millions of dollars of Renault funds through the Omani car distributor for his personal use, including for the purchase of a 120-foot yacht.
The local prosecutor for Nanterre could not be immediately reached for comment.
Ghosn told Reuters in an interview last year that he was prepared for a lengthy process to clear his name with French authorities, and vowed to challenge an Interpol warrant that is barring him from travel outside of Lebanon. (Reporting by Tassilo Hummel; Editing by Sudip Kar-Gupta)

A drunk speeding driver who caused the death of a heavily pregnant woman with her unborn twins and a teenager has won a cut in his jail term.
Richard Moananu, then 31, was jailed in November 2020 for 15 years with a non-parole period of 10 years over the Sydney crash.
But in a majority decision on Friday, the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal quashed the term and re-sentenced him to 12-and-a-half years with a non-parole period of eight years and four months.
He had pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter and one count of aggravated driving causing grievous bodily harm, asking the District Court judge to also take into account other offences.
Bronko Hoang, the sole survivor of the September 2017 collision, sustained life-altering injuries to his body and brain, and profound psychological trauma.
His wife Katherine and a 17-year-old learner driver died when Moananu's car ploughed into theirs in Orchard Hills, western Sydney.
His twins were due to be born the following week.
When Mr Hoang awoke from a coma in hospital, he said the nurses had to "tie him down" as they continually reminded him of what happened.
Justices Mark Leeming and Peter Hamill, with Justice Derek Price dissenting, concluded the sentence was "manifestly excessive".
"The course of conduct undertaken by the applicant in the present case was outrageous and appalling," Justice Hamill said.
"It threatened the lives of many road users and had a devastating impact on Mr Hoang and his family.
"The tragedy to that family is barely able to be imagined.
"On the other hand, the applicant presented a strong subjective case, demonstrated deep remorse from the day of the collision and received a 25 per cent discount for his early plea of guilty."
When compared with sentences imposed in similar cases, he found the starting points for the judge's sentences were "very high".
"Assuming those sentences were within a legitimate discretionary range, they stretched that range to its limit
"When the degree of notional accumulation is taken into account, and comparison is made to other cases, I am persuaded that the aggregate sentence imposed on the applicant was manifestly excessive."
But Justice Price said the extent of notional accumulation did not lead to a conclusion that the aggregate sentence is unreasonable or plainly unjust.
"The destruction of the lives and future aspirations of the innocent victims in the car being driven by (the teenager) was brought about by the applicant's appalling conduct," he said.
The sentence imposed had reflected the totality of his criminality, he concluded.
Moananu had been speeding with four times the legal limit of alcohol in his system, which the sentencing judge said showed a total disregard for all road users that day.
He was driving on an expired licence when he veered onto the wrong side of the road, travelling more than 45km/h over the speed limit.
Witnesses saw Moananu's car weave in and out of traffic, fail to indicate properly, run a red light and drive over a grassy median strip before it became airborne.

UK retail sales tumble as inflation jump hits demand
Adds details
LONDON, April 22 (Reuters) - British retail sales dropped in March by much more than expected as the surge in inflation hurt consumer demand, according to data published on Friday that sent a fresh warning sign for the economic outlook.
Retail sales volumes slid by 1.4% in March from February, a worse reading than any economist forecast in a Reuters poll that had pointed to a 0.3% monthly drop, the Office for National Statistics said.
Food and petrol sales fell sharply on the month with the ONS citing rising prices as possible explanations for the falls.
Online retail sales also declined.
A survey published earlier on Friday showed consumer confidence close to its lowest level since records began nearly 50 years ago.
Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said on Thursday that the British central bank was walking a tight line between tackling inflation and avoiding recession.
Earlier this month, Tesco TSCO.L, Britain's biggest retailer, warned of a drop in profits as high inflation squeezes the supermarket group and its customers.

Ipswich and Colchester Hospitals visitor restrictions remain
- Published
An NHS hospitals trust which suspended visits a month ago due to Covid said some restrictions would remain.
East Suffolk and North Essex Foundation Trust (ESNEFT), which runs Ipswich and Colchester hospitals, banned most routine visiting on 23 March.
It has recently allowed pre-booked visits to non-Covid patients who have been in hospital for more than a week.
ESNEFT said infection rates were falling in some areas, but were "still high" in and around its hospitals.
Chief executive Nick Hulme said: "Our priority, as always, is to keep everyone in our hospitals as safe as possible, but we are committed to reinstating more open ward visiting as soon as we can."
The restrictions do not apply to end-of-life care and people in formal caring roles.
Other exceptions include allowing one parent or carer to visit a child in hospital, including staying overnight, and one birthing partner being allowed for the delivery of a baby.
Other smaller hospitals run by the trust that are affected are Clacton Hospital, the Fryatt Hospital in Harwich, Aldeburgh Hospital, Felixstowe Hospital and Ipswich's Bluebird Lodge.

Heartwarming moment builders use their digger to rescue dog from drowning in an irrigation channel in Ecuador
- Builders in Pasaje Canton were told about a dog drowning in irrigation channel
- One builder, named locally as Abel Murillo, climbs into scoop of digger to help
- Dog is seen being carried down channel by strong current into Mr Murillo's path
This is moment quick-thinking builders were able to rescue a dog from drowning in an irrigation channel in Ecuador by using their digger.
Builders working by an irrigation channel in Pasaje Canton were warned by people further down that there was a dog being carried along the current of fast-moving water and it was drowning.
Heartwarming footage shows a builder, named locally as Abel Murillo, climbing into the scoop of a digger while another builder extends it out across the channel and down so it is just above the water.
It is believed the water levels in the canal were raised because of heavy rain and the buliders received a radio alert about the stranded dog.

The other builders start shouting as the dog comes into view desperately trying to keep her head above the dirty water.
She flows right into the path of Mr Murillo in the digger and he scrabbles to get a grip on her.
Mr Murillo manages to get a firm hold on the saggy skin on the back of the dog and hauls him up into the digger before the pair are lifted to safety.
The dog is then freed from the scoop of the digger and stands looking slightly baffled about her ordeal but appears unharmed.
The builders said they did a collection and were able to raise money to take the dog to the vet to be treated for infection, according to Bunko.
And in a radio interview they claimed the dog isn't a stray and has owners.

Mr Murillo said: 'Well, first they informed us by radio that they had opened the water channel and that there was a puppy that was running away from the water until the water reached it and dragged it.
'So they informed us and we decided here with the colleagues, the operator, to get down with a bucket to rescue the dog, as seen in the video.'
Another builder in the video, Cristian, added: 'We saw that they opened the canal and we saw that the puppy and the water were coming. We radioed the colleague to help us with the poor animal that was already advancing and was tired.
'It looked tired and what was already coming from above because of the water pressure.'

Luis, the builder in the middle of the frame in the video, said: 'We were working and together we decided to provide help, giving the animal one more chance to live. And we agreed. It was all very quick.
'We agreed to stretch the arm of the machine as the animal could come. And the colleague decided to jump.
'Thank God we were able to catch it, we could give the animal another chance to live.'
Mr Murillo said: 'We could still get it out. It was in bad conditions. We made a money collection and took it to the vet who gave it some injections for the infection, I think it was for the inflammation'
Mr Murillo added: 'The dog was almost about to let go because, with the force of the water, the dog hit the bucket and wanted to go under it. Then, what I did was to grab the dog and it bit me but only with a slight bite.
'We could still get it out. It was in bad conditions. We made a money collection and took it to the vet who gave it some injections for the infection, I think it was for the inflammation.
'A few moments ago, the dog was around here, but I think it's gone now.'

Biden’s election year challenge: Blame GOP for nation’s woes
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has an election-year message for frustrated voters: At least he’s trying.
For those who think he isn’t doing enough to help Ukraine fend off the Russian invasion, Biden announced $800 million in new military support on Thursday. To ease the pain of high gas prices, he’s tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and reopened onshore sales of oil and natural gas leases on public land. And to address historic inflation, Biden has tried to smooth out supply chain-crimping bottlenecks at the nation’s ports.
The president hopes the moves, which are being announced in near-daily rollouts and in a stepped up travel schedule, will present a contrast with Republicans — who, he argues, spend more time complaining about problems than proposing solutions.
“I mean this sincerely — name me something the national Republican Party is for,” Biden said at a recent Democratic National Committee meeting.
But it’s not clear he’s attracting much support. A new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds just 45% of Americans approve and 54% disapprove of how Biden is handling the presidency. The approval rate in the poll taken from April 14-18 is about the same as last month, but down from the president’s 63% approval rating a year ago.
There are bright spots for Biden. Applications for unemployment benefits have fallen to the lowest levels in decades and wages are rising. The economy is growing after the pandemic-induced doldrums.
Still, with crime rates rising in some parts of the country and inflation at its highest levels since 1981, these don’t feel like boom times to many. Seventy percent of Americans call the nation’s economy poor. Further, just 33% say they approve and 66% say they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, with about a third of Democrats, along with almost all Republicans, disapproving.
Primary elections that begin next month will help show whether Democrats are embracing Biden’s vision of a moderate party that counters the increasingly far-right GOP.
In Ohio, Rep. Tim Ryan is well positioned to win the Democratic nomination for an open Senate seat with a message appealing to centrist, blue collar workers that is in line with Biden’s overall approach. But in the president’s native state of Pennsylvania, moderate Conor Lamb could be in a tight Senate primary against the more progressive John Fetterman.
Biden has suggested that one way to address his political challenges is to get on the road and make the case directly to voters about the impact of his administration’s policies. He has increased his domestic travel lately to promote a $1 trillion, bipartisan infrastructure package that cleared Congress last fall. Biden has visited Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Oregon since last week, and is in Seattle on Friday.
But some top Democrats running for office aren’t clamoring for the president’s help. Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke says he has no interest in national Democratic figures visiting his state as he now runs for governor. Florida Rep. Val Demings, as she campaigns for Senate, was non-comital about Biden’s help, as was Ryan.
“My philosophy is like: I’m running. I’m the candidate. I don’t need any validators,” Ryan said at the Knox County Democratic Party office in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Nearby stood cardboard cutouts of Obama and Hillary Clinton. There wasn’t one of Biden, though there was a campaign sign bearing his name outside.
Asked if appearing with Biden could be damaging, Ryan was unusually blunt.
“I don’t know,” he said. “I really don’t.”
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris nevertheless plan on boosting U.S. trips in coming weeks, as well as stepping up their fundraising on behalf of the Democratic Party, according to administration officials and allies. But most of their activity is likely to take place in the late summer and early fall — after primaries are concluded and as voters will have their choice at the ballot box laid out for them.
Some in the administration have pressed for Biden and Democrats to draw a stronger contrast with Republicans, for instance arguing that the president should be more forcefully highlight a new study that Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to introduce redundant inspections on truck travel cost the U.S. economy $9 billion in 10 days.
At a Thursday Democratic fundraiser at a yacht club in Portland, Oregon, Biden predicted that Democrats would add two seats in November to secure a 52-48 Senate majority.
“The far right’s taken over that party,” he said of Republicans. “And it’s not even conservative in a traditional sense of conservatism. It’s mean. It’s ugly.”
But trying to blame the other side amid mounting problems can have its limitations. Democrat Terry McAuliffe attempted to make last year’s Virginia governor’s race a referendum on the dangers of modern day GOP — even branding Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin “Trump in a sweater vest.” McAuliffe lost in a state Biden had carried by 10 points barely a year earlier.
Some who would otherwise be the White House’s fiercest allies say it’ll be up to Biden to energize voters ahead of November — regardless of what Republicans do.
“He’s not an effective communicator,” said Wes Bellamy, founder of Our Black Party, which advocates for issues to strengthen African American communities.
The president “speaks in a tone that doesn’t really resonate with much of his base and I don’t think they do a good enough job of being active on the ground,” Bellamy said.
Adding to the challenge is the fact that, when the president addresses one problem, he may prompt another. Some of what the administration has done to tame prices at the pump, for instance, run counter to Biden’s promises about combating climate change — especially after his signature social spending bill, “Build Back Better,” collapsed in Congress.
“His midterm strategy with respect to the environment is pretty underwhelming and not likely to work,” said Brett Hartl, chief political strategist at the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund.
Hartl said Americans, particularly young ones who backed Biden in 2020 thinking he’d help make the country dramatically greener, are now disillusioned with “a really steady trail of defeats on the climate crisis.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki suggested Biden may help Democrats avoid a Republican midterm romp by evoking the phrase “Don’t compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative.” That’s something Biden said frequently as vice president and while campaigning for the White House in 2020.
“Really, if you look at the other side, they have nothing in the cupboard. They have no plan,” Psaki said during a recent event for “Pod Save America.” “We could be saying that more.”

Dear Abby: Friendship derailed over pandemic-era preferences
Dear Abby,
A dear friend of many years is currently not speaking to me. She recently moved from California to Denver and had invited me to visit. We agreed on the dates, and I took time off work and booked the flights. Less than two weeks before my arrival, she abruptly canceled the visit, expressing no regrets or concern for whether I would be able to get a refund from the airline.
She indicated that because I was not comfortable with the recently lifted mask mandates and other COVID precautions in her state and prefer to continue to avoid indoor dining, bars, etc., that she wanted to "postpone for a few months," when we might be able to enjoy more activities. When I expressed hurt feelings at being disinvited, she became angry and ceased communication. Is this friendship over? How should I proceed?
— Risk-Adverse in the West
I am not sure why your friend became angry and canceled your visit, unless she had planned activities that would take place in restaurants, theaters, etc. I am also puzzled that she should end a friendship of many years over it. Because this is recent, give her a little more time to cool off. Then extend an olive branch and see if she has put this unfortunate episode in perspective.
Dear Abby,
I have a former colleague whose company I enjoyed while I was working with him. He thought highly of my work ethic, and we worked well together. Because of this, he has asked me to be a professional reference for him sporadically over the years, which I always happily agreed to. The problem is we haven't worked together in six years.
Because it has been so long, I no longer feel as though I'm a good reference for him. I also worry that recruiters will wonder why I was chosen after all this time. He reaches out to me only for reference requests, so it's not as though I'm damaging a long-term friendship, but I still care about him and his feelings. How can I politely decline his future requests?
— Reluctant Reference
In recent years, the amount of information that can be shared about former employees and colleagues is quite restricted. I believe it's limited to the dates you worked together. However, because you no longer wish to be a reference, you will have to bite the bullet and be honest about your feelings and the reason why.
Dear Abby,
The wife of a married couple my wife and I are friends with revealed a few years ago that before she met her husband, she had an affair that produced a child she immediately placed for adoption. This was 40 years ago. It surprised us all, including her husband.
I believe she should have told her husband before they married. My wife says because it was before she met him, it was none of his business. Well, now it is his business because, through DNA ancestry sites, this "child" is now in his life, which has become an embarrassment for him. What do you think?
— His Business in the East
I think you should mind your own beeswax and stay resolutely OUT of his family business!

Many thousands of people have flocked online to see a pair of nesting ospreys near Alyth.
A live webcam was installed and switched on earlier in the spring to observe the goings-on at a new nesting tower close to the new Alyth substation two miles south-east of the Perthshire town.
It has already had more than 9,000 views on YouTube ahead of the hatching of the chicks, which is expected to take place in May.
Here we answer all your questions about the Alyth ospreys and the public’s interest in viewing them.
Have the birds always nested here?
Ospreys have historically nested on the top of an SSEN Transmission 275kV electricity tower on the site, which has been the ‘T’ junction between the main transmission line for the east coast and Tealing substation since 1990.
In 2014 a 25m osprey tower and two nearby 8.5m resting perches were erected and have been successfully used by the ospreys ever since.
In summer last year, work began on a new £86m substation on the site, which is on track for completion by winter 2023.
The work required a new nest, which was installed with help from osprey expert Roy Dennis.
The nesting tower has been set 320.6 metres from the ‘red line’ boundary of the new substation and met agreement from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), now Nature Scot.
Why are so many people viewing the live feed?
This is the first year that a webcam has been capturing the ospreys and already it has generated a sizeable audience.
Despite limited publicity, at any one time during the day there are usually more than half a dozen watchers on the live YouTube feed.
So far there have been more than 9,000 views and the figure is sure to increase as the year goes on and chicks are hatched.
Seeing birds in their natural habitat can be relaxing and educational, offering the opportunity to learn about migration and nesting habits. Northward views of the Perthshire and Angus hills, including Cat Law, aren’t bad either.
“Cameras give you an insight into wildlife that you can’t really see any other way,” says Jason Fathers of Wildlife Windows, which installed the webcam.
“You tend to get followers of particular cameras and hopefully over time more people will watch the Alyth birds.
“We install cameras across the UK and we have also installed a camera on a white-tailed eagle nest showing at the RSPB Loch Garten Visitor Centre, near Aviemore.”
SSEN Transmission’s lead project manager, Archie Munro, says: “To help share the experience of watching one of Scotland’s iconic species with a wider audience, we recently introduced a live webcam to provide a birds-eye view of this stunning bird and we are delighted this osprey webcam is already attracting a lot of interest.”
When will the chicks hatch?
It is thought that the first egg was laid on Thursday, April 21, so the female parent will be more present than in previous weeks.
The eggs usually incubate for about five weeks so chicks may begin to hatch at the end of May.
“The camera angle could be a little bit higher but they have built the nest up so we should be able to see the tops of eggs and chicks in about five or six weeks’ time,” says Jason.
“Then the parents will come and go feeding them.”
How long will the birds stay for?
The chicks should learn to fly by the end of July but will continue to be fed by the adults until they leave, which will be anytime in the first two weeks of September.
Ospreys are migratory and they will head to West Africa in early September before returning to the UK in early April.
“Since the installation of our purpose-built nesting platform back in 2014, the ospreys have become synonymous with our work in the area,” says SSEN’s Mr Munro.
“It’s been an absolute joy to see them return to nest each year and re-join the local team before migrating south again for the winter.”
Will the webcam stay on during the winter?
The camera will be left in the same location over the winter but streaming will cease from the middle to end of October.
“The resident birds will migrate in September but we will keep the camera streaming until the middle or end of October because there will be stragglers landing on it,” adds Jason.
“We will come back in February to early March, do maintenance and switch it back on for the whole process to begin again.”
How is the live feed powered?
The Alyth system is completely autonomous. It is powered by solar panels and is live-streamed by 4G using the sun’s energy to power infra-red cameras.
Jason says: “The solar panels collect energy and store it in batteries that carry on powering it overnight.
“It can stand three or four days of not much sun but beyond then it might switch off.
“But the sun is getting a lot higher now so a lot more energy is coming in so it is unlikely to do that.”
How rare are ospreys?
Ospreys formerly inhabited much of Britain but heavy persecution, mainly by Victorian egg and skin collectors, led to their extinctions in England in 1840 and largely in Scotland from 1916 to 1954.
They then colonised naturally in the late 1950s in Lake Garten and their numbers have been building ever since.
There are currently an estimated 300 pairs in the UK, with most in Scotland.
“They are what we would call an uncommon species,” says Jason.
“Because they are an apex predator their numbers will never be very very high because they exclusively feed on fish that are very high up the food chain.
“You can’t have loads of apex predators because everything below it would disappear.
“British ospreys like open spaces and fishing areas. They feed on fish exclusively so need to be relatively close to water and in Scotland there are a lot of lochs and fish.”
Which is the best link to watch the live feed?
The YouTube URL may change if there are technical issues so this is the fail-safe master link.

New satellite images show apparent mass graves near Mariupol, where local officials accused Russia of burying up to 9,000 Ukrainian civilians to conceal the slaughter taking place in the ruined port city that is almost entirely under Russian control.
The images emerged just hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the battle for Mariupol, despite the presence of an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters who are still holed up at a giant steel mill.
Mr Putin ordered his troops to seal off the stronghold “so that not even a fly comes through”, instead of storming it.
The Russian leader’s decision to blockade the Azovstal steel plant likely indicates a desire to contain Ukrainian resistance in Mariupol and free up Russian forces to be deployed elsewhere in eastern Ukraine, according to the UK Ministry of Defence.
Satellite image provider Maxar Technologies released the photos, which it said showed more than 200 mass graves in a town where Ukrainian officials say the Russians have been burying Mariupol residents killed in the fighting.
The imagery showed long rows of graves stretching away from an existing cemetery in the town of Manhush, outside Mariupol.
Mariupol’s mayor Vadym Boychenko accused the Russians of “hiding their military crimes” by taking the bodies of civilians from the city and burying them in Manhush.
The graves could hold as many as 9,000 dead, the Mariupol City Council said..
Mr Boychenko labelled Russian actions in the city as “the new Babi Yar”, a reference to the site of multiple Nazi massacres in which nearly 34,000 Ukrainian Jews were killed in 1941.
“The bodies of the dead were being brought by the truckload and actually simply being dumped in mounds,” an aide to Mr Boychenko, Piotr Andryushchenko, said on the Telegram messaging service.
There was no immediate reaction from the Kremlin. When mass graves and hundreds of dead civilians were discovered in Bucha and other towns around Kyiv after Russian troops retreated three weeks ago, Russian officials denied that their soldiers killed any civilians there and accused Ukraine of staging the atrocities.
In a statement, Maxar said a review of previous images indicates that the graves in Manhush were dug in late March and expanded in recent weeks.
After nearly two months of bombardment that largely reduced Mariupol to a smoking ruin, Russian forces appear to control the rest of the strategic southern city, including its vital but now badly damaged port.
But a few thousand Ukrainian troops, by Moscow’s estimate, have stubbornly held out for weeks at the steel factory, despite a pummelling from Russian forces and repeated demands for their surrender.
About 1,000 civilians are also trapped there, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused Russia of launching attacks to block civilian evacuations from Mariupol.
At least two Russian attacks on Thursday hit the city of Zaporizhzhia, a waystation for people fleeing Mariupol. No-one was wounded, the regional governor said.
The Red Cross said it had expected to evacuate 1,500 people by bus, but that the Russians allowed only a few dozen to leave and pulled some people off the buses.
Instead of sending troops to finish off the Mariupol defenders inside the steel factory in a potentially bloody frontal assault, Russia apparently intends to maintain the siege and wait for the fighters to surrender when they run out of food or ammunition.
All told, more than 100,000 people were believed trapped with little or no food, water, heat or medicine in Mariupol, which had a pre-war population of about 430,000. More than 20,000 people have been killed in the siege, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The city has seized worldwide attention as the scene of some of the worst suffering of the war, including deadly air strikes on a maternity hospital and a theatre.
Mr Boychenko rejected any notion that Mariupol had fallen into Russian hands.
“The city was, is and remains Ukrainian,” he declared. “Today our brave warriors, our heroes, are defending our city.”
The capture of Mariupol would represent the Kremlin’s biggest victory yet of the war in Ukraine. It would help Moscow secure more of the coastline, complete a land bridge between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia seized in 2014, and free up more forces to join the larger and potentially more consequential battle now under way for Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, the Donbas.
At a joint appearance with Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu, Mr Putin declared: “The completion of combat work to liberate Mariupol is a success,” and he offered congratulations to Mr Shoigu.
Mr Shoigu predicted the Azovstal steel mill could be taken in three to four days. But Mr Putin said that would be “pointless” and expressed concern for the lives of Russian troops in deciding against sending them in to clear out the sprawling plant, where the die-hard defenders were hiding in a maze of underground passageways.
Instead, the Russian leader said, the military should “block off this industrial area so that not even a fly comes through”.
The plant covers four square miles, and is threaded with some 15 miles of tunnels and bunkers.
Russian officials for weeks have said capturing the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas is the war’s main objective. Moscow’s forces opened the new phase of the fighting this week along a 300-mile front from the north-eastern city of Kharkiv to the Azov Sea.
While Russia continued heavy air and artillery attacks in those areas, it did not appear to gain any significant ground over the past few days, according to military analysts, who said Moscow’s forces are still ramping up the offensive.
In the US, President Joe Biden has pledged an additional 1.3 billion dollars (£996 million) for new weapons and economic assistance to help Ukraine, and he promised to seek much more from US congress to keep the guns, ammunition and cash flowing.

Online sales took a heavy hit last month, with shoppers reining in unnecessary purchases as the cost-of-living crisis started to bite, according to official figures.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said sales volumes fell 1.4% in March – faster than the 0.5% drop in February – although they remain 2.2% above pre-Covid levels of February 2020.
Online sales bore the brunt, dropping 7.9% in the month – following on from a 6.9% fall in February.
The ONS also revealed a decrease in fuel sales volumes of 3.8% as soaring petrol and diesel costs put motorists off making unnecessary journeys, the ONS added.
The only part of the retail landscape to see an increase in sales was in non-food stores, which were up 1.3%, driven by a 2.6% rise at household goods retailers including garden centres and DIY stores.
ONS director of economic statistics Darren Morgan said: “Retail sales fell back notably in March, with rises in the cost of living hitting consumers’ spending.
“Online sales were hit particularly hard due to lower levels of discretionary spending.
“Fuel sales also fell substantially, with evidence suggesting some people reduced non-essential journeys, following record high petrol prices, while food sales continued to fall, dropping for the fifth consecutive month.”
The ONS suggested that the fall in online sales could be due to the end of lockdown restrictions and shoppers feeling confident returning to stores, when compared with December and January as the Omicron variant of coronavirus ran rampant.
It also warned that “some of the fall in February and March 2022 may also be linked to affordability concerns” and pointed out that recent surveys found 54% of adults reported spending less on non-essentials due to an increase in the cost of living.
Food store sales volumes fell 1.1% over the month, with households cutting back on excessive food purchases due to cost-of-living concerns.
The ONS added that the decrease was also due to more shoppers preferring to spend their cash on eating out and socialising due to Covid-19 restrictions coming to an end.
Economists and analysts suggested more falls could be on the way, as consumer confidence takes a knock.
Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said: “March’s substantial fall in retail sales volumes looks like the start of a period of weakness in consumers’ spending, rather than just a blip.”
He added that this probably means a future Bank of England base rate rise is likely to be less than first thought.
Lisa Hooker, consumer markets leader at PwC, said: “Whilst we believe there will continue to be pent-up demand for certain categories as we plan for summer and a return to holidays, the squeeze on incomes will impact spending.
“We are already seeing consumers adopt coping mechanisms to deal with the squeeze in incomes, such as seeking value and trading down.”
She added: “We have also seen more resilience in spending across the older age groups, maybe reflecting that they were less impacted through lockdown in terms of finances but also are likely to be helping out their families.”
Oliver Vernon-Harcourt, head of retail at Deloitte, said: “The next few months will see further disruptions to supply chains and cost pressures.
“Consumers will also feel the pinch, particularly around discretionary spending, with April seeing the introduction of energy price cap rises and national insurance increases. The retail industry will need to balance increasing costs with maintaining customer engagement.”
And Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, said: “The cost-of-living squeeze has many consumers thinking twice about major purchases, while their expectations of future financial situation plummeted to lows not seen since the financial crisis.
“Consumers face even more challenges as the energy price cap rose to a record high this month.”
She added: “Retailers are themselves squeezed between rising costs of operations, exacerbated by the situation in Ukraine, and weaker demand from customers.
“Higher global commodity prices, rising energy and transport costs, and a tight labour market are all taking their toll. As a result, it is likely that retail prices will continue rise over the course of 2022.”

India is the third-largest carbon emitter globally, after China and the United States. The country is already suffering the devastating impact of climate change with frequent droughts, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. At the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged that the country would become carbon-neutral by 2070, a target date 20 years later than the mark set by the United States and ten years later than China's—but still a big step forward for India.
In such a scenario, a Rajasthan-based Rukamni Devi Kataria chose to stand up and address the issue. Her journey from a Kirana shop owner in a village in Rajasthan to the CEO of Durga Energy began after she brought together a group of women to build small cooperatives to lend microloans to other women. In 2016, Solanki hired her to distribute solar-powered lamps to the village's children to enable them to study at night. However, when Katara had to travel out of the town for the first time, her husband asked her not to go, and she went anyway, leaving all her valuable belongings behind until her husband came around. Since then, he has not stopped her from going elsewhere.
Was Married Off At The Age of 13
Rukamni was married off at 13 and was expected to carry out all the 'wifely' duties of looking after her husband, his family and their business, thereby heavily curtailing her ambition. However, she chose to deviate and select the path of becoming the face of a mission to ignite a solar energy revolution in India's villages. Her company, Durga Energy, manufactures solar electricity and has a workforce of 40 women, including many women who never passed class 12.
Her idea was supported by IIT Bombay and the government of Rajasthan. The company has sold more than 3,00,000 solar panels since its operations in 2017. Even though the solar-powered energy in her locality is minuscule, the hope of empowering women in rural, urban and semi-urban areas keeps motivating her. Moreover, the company wants to message that climate change can be fought two-directionally. The first objective is to reduce the lasting impact on the environment; secondly, employing women without technical backgrounds could improve their social standing.
Nominated For 'One For Change' By National Geographic
National Geographic has announced the launch of its one-of-its-kind initiative titled 'One for Change' on Earth Day. Rukamni Katara is one of the chosen ones for 'One-of-change'. Her story was aimed to inspire and encourage viewers to take that one step and 'be the one for change' the stories will focus on the journey of passionate individuals and get the viewers acquainted with their lives, their passions and shine a light on what pushed them to follow the unique path of planet conservation. And as an Earth Day unique, the One for Change initiative will highlight the inspired works of 10 changemakers – who have each made a path-defining choice a difference.
At The Logical Indian, we salute the spirit of Rukamni Katara and the likes who are breaking the glass ceiling by rising above the ordinary and are also spearheading the movement of making the earth a better place.

Over £525,000 has been spent on an additional 58 electric vehicles and 46 charging stations at sites across NHS Lothian.
Commenting, Iain Sneddon, transport manager for NHS Lothian, said: “Climate change poses the biggest threat to global health and its vital that we adapt to this as an organisation, not just as individuals.
“Electric vehicles are the preference when we’re looking to grow our fleet or replace vehicles.
"Not only are they a cleaner alternative, but they have the added benefit of being more cost-effective.”
This brings the total number of electric vehicles in NHS Lothian to 187, which is just over a quarter of NHS Lothian’s fleet. NHS Lothian received its first three electric vehicles in 2012.
In 2019, Transport Scotland provided funding which resulted in an additional 39 electric vehicles being added to the fleet.
Dr Jane Hopton, Sustainability Lead for NHS Lothian, said: “Making our fleet greener is part of our wider strategy to ensure NHS Lothian is a leader in sustainable healthcare.
“We’ve also been working to reduce the impact medical gasses have on the environment, as well growing our green spaces and improving our energy infrastructure.
“Iain and his team have done a fantastic job over the last few years with the fleet and have clearly had a huge impact already on reducing NHS Lothian’s carbon footprint.”
Since 2019, the electric fleet has travelled over 1.5 million miles and has been used by teams such as podiatry, physiotherapy and forensic.
The average car emits 0.78 pounds of CO2 per mile driven, which means NHS Lothian has prevented around 500 tonnes of CO2 being released into local communities.

Madeleine McCann: Christian B isn't the first official suspect in disappearance - but may be the last
The move to make Christian B an official suspect is likely to head off the Statute of Limitations which, in Portuguese law, rules out a prosecution for serious crimes after 15 years.
Friday 22 April 2022 10:42, UK
Christian B isn't the first arguido - official Portuguese suspect - in the Madeleine McCann case, but he may well be the last.
Robert Murat, who lived near the McCanns rented holiday apartment, was the first within days of Madeleine's disappearance in May, 2007.
Her parents Kate and Gerry were made official suspects after being called in for questioning four months later.
Arguido status means you are under suspicion, but not arrested, and gives you some legal protection - the right of silence and the right to have a lawyer with you.
The move on Christian B is probably to head off the Statute of Limitations which in Portuguese law rules out a prosecution for serious crimes after 15 years. On May 3 it will be 15 years since Madeleine vanished.
It's an insurance policy too for the Portuguese to pursue their own prosecution if the Germans decide eventually to rule out Christian B - whose surname has not been given because of German privacy laws.
At the moment, the German authorities are effectively in charge of the investigation, with the Portuguese and Scotland Yard detectives as bit-part players.
The imposition of arguido status is sometimes the prelude to arrest, but that's hardly likely in this case as Christian B isn't going anywhere - he is still serving a seven-year rape sentence in a German prison and he's being investigated over three other sex allegations in Portugal.
His lawyer Friedrich Fulscher played down the development, telling Sky News: "It shouldn't be exaggerated and I assume it's to block the statute of limitations.
"It's not a charge and it can be revoked. And it doesn't affect the German investigation."
When I spoke to Mr Murat the day after his questioning he was distraught and fiercely denied any involvement. He wanted to say more, but the arguido status also carries a ban on media interviews.
The McCanns were so upset to be made suspects that they fled Portugal for their UK home the next day after vowing to stay until their daughter was found.

Both they and Mr Murat were eventually released from their arguido status and cleared of any suspicion when the Portuguese authorities closed their investigation after 15 months.
I knew at that point how serious it is to be made an arguido, because when the Portuguese police investigation files were posted online for public consumption, I was a bit shocked to read full transcripts of my telephone conversations with Mr Murat. The cops had bugged his mobile phone.
Christian B has been much maligned by the German prosecutor, but he hasn't even been questioned yet by any of his official pursuers.
And he, too, says it wasn't him.

SEATTLE (AP) — President Joe Biden is taking steps to restore national forests that have been devastated by wildfires, drought and blight, using an Earth Day visit to Seattle to sign an executive order protecting some of the nation’s largest and oldest trees.
Old-growth trees are key buffers against climate change and provide crucial carbon sinks that absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
Biden's order directs federal land managers to define and inventory mature and old-growth forests nationwide within a year. The order requires the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service to identify threats to older trees, such as wildfire and climate change, and develop policies to safeguard them.
The order does not ban logging of mature or old-growth trees, the White House said.
By signing the order on Friday, Biden can publicly reassert his environmentalist credentials at a time when his administration has been preoccupied by high oil and gasoline prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Gas costs have been a drag on Biden's popularity and created short-term political pressures going into this year's midterm elections, yet the Democratic president has been focused on wildfires that are intensifying because of climate change.
The measure is intended to safeguard national forests that been severely damaged by wildfires, drought and blight, including recent fires that killed thousands of giant sequoias in California. Redwood forests are among the world’s most efficient at removing and storing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and provide critical habitat for native wildlife and watersheds that supply farms and communities in the West.
Blazes so intense to kill trees once considered virtually fire-proof have alarmed land managers, environmentalists and tree lovers the world over — and demonstrated the grave impacts of climate change. A warming planet that has created longer and hotter droughts, combined with a century of fire suppression that choked forests with thick undergrowth, has fueled flames that extinguished trees dating to ancient civilizations.
A senior administration official noted that forests absorb more than 10% of U.S. annual greenhouse gases, while also providing flood control, clean water, clear air and a home to wildlife. The official insisted on anonymity to discuss details of Biden’s order before it was made public.
Biden's ambitious climate agenda has been marred by setbacks, a year after he took office amid a flurry of climate-related promises. The president hosted a virtual summit on global warming at the White House last Earth Day. He used the moment to nearly double the United States’ goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, vaulting the country to the front lines in the fight against climate change.
A year later, his most sweeping proposals remain stalled on Capitol Hill despite renewed warnings from scientists that the world is hurtling toward a dangerous future marked by extreme heat, drought and weather.
In addition, Russia’s war in Ukraine has reshuffled the politics of climate change, leading Biden to release oil from the nation’s strategic reserve and encourage more domestic drilling in hopes of lowering sky-high gas prices that are emptying American wallets.
While Biden is raising fuel economy standards for vehicles and included green policies in last year’s bipartisan infrastructure law, the lack of greater progress casts a shadow over his second Earth Day as president.
Timber industry representative Nick Smith said before the order was made public that loggers are worried it will add more bureaucracy to a forest management framework already unable to keep up with growing wildfires due to climate change.
That would undercut the Biden administration’s goal of doubling the amount of logging and controlled burns over the next decade to thin forests in the tinder-dry West, said Smith, a spokesman for the American Forest Resource Council, an Oregon-based industry group.
“The federal government has an urgent need to reduce massive greenhouse gas emissions from severe wildfires, which can only be accomplished by actively managing our unhealthy and overstocked federal forests,” he said.
But former U.S. Forest Service Deputy Chief Jim Furnish said wildfire risks and climate change would be better addressed by removing smaller trees that can fuel uncontrolled blazes, while leaving mature trees in place.
For many years the Forest Service allowed older trees that are worth more to be logged, to bring in money for removal of smaller trees, Furnish said. But that’s no longer necessary after Congress approved more than $5 billion to reduce wildfire risks in last year’s infrastructure bill, he said. The law includes money to hire 1,500 firefighters and ensure they earn at least $15 an hour.
Timber sales from federal forests nationwide more than doubled over the past 20 years, as Republicans and Democrats have pushed more aggressive thinning of stands to reduce small trees and vegetation that fuel wildfires.
Critics, including many forest scientists, say officials are allowing removal of too many older trees that can withstand fire.
A letter signed by 135 scientists called on Biden to protect mature and old-growth forests as a critical climate solution.
"Older forests provide the most above-ground carbon storage potential on Earth, with mature forests and larger trees driving most accumulation of forest carbon in the critical next few decades. Left vulnerable to logging, though, they cannot fulfill these vital functions,'' the scientists wrote Thursday. Former Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck and Norman Christensen, founding dean and professor emeritus at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment, were among those signing the letter.
Protecting mature forests also "would set an important, highly visible example for other major forest-holding nations to follow as they address climate change threats,'' the scientists wrote.

The Ridgecrest Police Department arrested two men for attempted vehicle theft on April 7.
According to a news release, police received a call just before midnight from someone stating their neighbor saw a man break into her car and appeared to be manipulating the vehicle’s ignition. According to the report, a neighbor chased the suspect off with a golf club. He fled the scene with a second suspect who was driving a different vehicle, according to RPD.
A short time later, officers found the suspects at a gas station. They found Jacob Brinsfield,32, of Lake Isabella, and Blakely Harrell-Barona, 29, of Trona, in possession of a shaved key which is commonly used as a burglary tool to steal vehicles.
The suspects were also in possession of a firearm with a capacity magazine and ammunition. Since Brinsfield and Harrell-Barona are both felons, they are prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition. Brinsfield also had a felony warrant for his arrest, according to police.
Brinsfield and Harrell-Barona were arrested and booked into the Kern County Sheriff Department Central Receiving Facility in Bakersfield.

Western spy agencies warn Russian hackers could target the NHS, nuclear power stations and the civil service - and working from home INCREASES the risk of a Kremlin attack
- An alert is issued by Five Eyes agencies - from Australia, Canada, NZ, UK and US
- They warn the invasion of Ukraine has increased the risk of 'malicious activity'
- It includes a caution about using remote desktops - common for home-working
- Health services, power plants, airports and government networks are at risk
Western intelligence agencies are warning Russian state-sponsored hackers are targeting critical infrastructure - and cautioned that working from home increases the risk of a successful attack.
An alert has been issued by agencies from the Five Eyes alliance - made up of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and US.
They said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the imposition of Western sanctions on Moscow, had increased the risk of 'malicious cyber activity'.
The warning highlighted the activities of Russia state-sponsored hackers and also cybercrime groups that have recently publicly pledged support to Vladimir Putin's regime.
The Five Eyes cybersecurity agencies urged those working in critical infrastructure to 'prepare for and mitigate potential cyber threats'.
Russian-linked cybercrime groups were said to have targeted critical IT systems, health services, a nuclear power plant, an airport, and government networks.
As well as Russian FSB and GRU cyber teams, the Five Eyes agencies also explained how many Russian-aligned groups had been acting in the Kremlin's interests.
These include groups named as Killnet, Mummy Spider, Salty Spider and The Xaknet Team.
Cybercrime groups supportive of Vladimir Putin's regime were said to have targeted critical IT systems, health services, a nuclear power plant, an airport, and government networks
The Five Eyes cybersecurity agencies urged those working in critical infrastructure to 'prepare for and mitigate potential cyber threats'
The Five Eyes agencies issued a warning about the use of remote desktops and 'other potentially risky services'
In their advice on how to mitigate against the Russian cyber threat, the agencies urged organisations to update software and enforce multi-factor authentication 'to the greatest extent possible'.
They also issued a warning about the use of remote desktops and 'other potentially risky services'.
Remote dekstops are commonly used for working from home and allows a user to connect to a computer in another location.
The Five Eyes alert stated: 'RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) exploitation is one of the top initial infection vectors for ransomware, and risky services, including RDP, can allow unauthorized access to your session using an on-path attacker.'
They suggested that RDP only be used if deemed 'operationally necessary'.
The warning will increase fears that UK civil servants working from home could leave Government networks more vulnerable to an attack.
The Foreign Office was reported to have begun an urgent investigation on Tuesday night into a suspected cyber hack after personal information about Government employees appeared on Russian social media sites.
Cabinet minister Jacob Rees-Mogg is currently leading a government drive get civil servants back to their desks after the Covid pandemic.
He was this week claimed to have conducted a personal headcount of officials in one Whitehall office.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Steve Barclay, the minister responsible for cyber security, told the Telegraph: 'Cyber attacks recognise no physical or geographical boundary and it has never been more important to plan and invest in cyber resilience.'

Who left the tap on? Japan teacher in hot water for pool bill
A Japanese school has been landed with a hefty water bill after a teacher left a tap for a pool running in the hope of preventing Covid infections
A Japanese school has been hit with a $27,000 water bill after a teacher in charge of pool maintenance left a tap on for months hoping to stop coronavirus infections.
The teacher, who has not been identified, thought a constant flow of fresh water into the pool would keep it Covid free and left the tap on from late June to early September.
Normally, chlorine and filtering machines maintain the pool water's quality, "but the teacher somehow got the wrong idea that pouring new water in would also do the trick and even help prevent Covid," local education board official Akira Kojiri told AFP.
Other staff members occasionally noticed the running tap and switched it off, but the offending colleague soon switched it back on.
As a result, Kojiri said, an estimated 4,000 tonnes of excess water was used in just over two months -- enough to fill the pool 11 times over.
Local authorities in Yokosuka in central Japan's Kanagawa prefecture are now demanding the teacher and two supervisors pay half of the 3.5 million yen ($27,000) bill.

North Bay's new casino already exceeding expectations
A month after the North Bay Cascades Casino opened its doors to the public, officials say they have seen an overwhelming amount of support from customers coming through the doors.
On Thursday, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. (OLG) officials and other delegates visited the Pinewood Park Drive facility to hold an official grand opening and give an update on the first month in business.
"Visitation has exceeded our wildest dreams," said Gateway Casinos spokesman Rob Mitchell.
"We're drawing people from all over the place. There's a great curiosity factor in a new casino. We're starting to establish our regulars."
Each day since its soft opening on March 9, the slots have been at full capacity with unique high rollers and card dealers travelling province-wide to try and hit the jackpot.
OLG officials presented the City of North Bay with a cheque for $111,000, representing the city's share of revenue generated from March 9-31.
More money will be shared with the city on a quarterly basis under a municipal contribution agreement.
"At the base, they make 5.25 per cent on the first $65 million made and from there it graduates," said OLG spokesperson Tony Bitonti.
The city can use the money for any kind of infrastructure project or for economic development.
"We're anticipating receiving between $1 million and $2 million each and every year," said North Bay Mayor Al McDonald.
"So what we're going to do is put the money into a reserve and the next council will set the policy on how they want to invest the money moving forward."
Among the guests were Sudbury Ward 11 Coun. Bill Leduc and Kingsway Entertainment District developer Dario Zulich to tour the facility.
The pair have been advocating for a casino in Greater Sudbury.
"With all the information I've received here today, I'll be going back to council and showing our councillors and residents of Sudbury exactly what we're missing," said Leduc.
Sudbury's casino plans have been in the works since 2018, but, they have been delayed by numerous legal appeals.
"You need investment and jobs. That's what this is doing for North Bay. In the first two weeks it's made over $100,000 for the City of North Bay," said Zulich. "It's unbelievable and I can't wait for Sudbury's. Sudbury will not regret this."
The $41 million facility features 300 slots, six live tables and 10 virtual tables. It created 200 new jobs.

Craftswoman carries forward Bian embroidery after passing on traditional craft to rural women in Henan

Bian embroidery, originating from Kaifeng city in central China's Henan Province, which served as the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), is considered a national intangible cultural heritage of China.
Zhang Liufeng, a woman from Kaifeng, started to learn Bian embroidery skills when she was only six years old. In 2011, Zhang began engaging herself in training others so as to pass on the craft to future generations. Over the past several years, she has taught the embroidering techniques to a large number of women living in the locality.
Zhang had once felt that the traditional craft was gradually starting to lose its luster. "If the craft becomes extinct, we are the ones that should be blamed," Zhang expressed. Nowadays, the woman is striving to integrate Bian embroidery into modern life in an attempt to renew its vitality.

In order to teach the skills to more rural women so that they might join her efforts to carry forward the craft and master the skills as a means to escape poverty, Zhang opened embroidery training bases in rural areas throughout the province and introduced targeted poverty alleviation projects through the continued development of the embroidery culture. Thanks to her efforts, an increasing number of rural women have gotten engaged in the trade, which has allowed them to make embroidery works that could then be sold to support their families, all while not having to leave their hometowns.
As one of Zhang's students, Wan Xiaojuan has become an inheritor of the Bian embroidery sewing craft, which is listed as an intangible cultural heritage in the Dongxin district of Zhengzhou city, the provincial capital. Wan introduced that a piece of high-quality Bian embroidery work is smooth, neat, soft, and colorful, with lifelike patterns embroidered onto it.

"It's not easy to carry forward Bian embroidery. As the number of highly skilled embroiders is getting smaller, some embroidering skills are on the verge of becoming extinct," said Wan, adding that she has been doing her best to carry forward the craft.
Zhang believes that the craft can be kept alive only when the products become a part of people's life. She said that cultural and creative products, including speaker boxes, masks and handbags, which contain elements of Bian embroidery, are very popular products in the market.
"As the customers recognize our products, they also recognize the value of the Bian embroidery culture. Although Bian embroidery is a traditional craft, the practitioners in the industry should be open-minded. If we pursue innovations in the craft while carrying it forward, we'll ensure that the craft can enjoy a higher level of recognition among the general public," said Zhang.

Toshiba shares jump after Japanese conglomerate opens door to buyout
Toshiba said it had hired Nomura Securities as a financial adviser on strategic alternatives, including a potential privatisation.
Shares of Toshiba Corp jumped nearly 5% in Tokyo trade on Friday, after the embattled Japanese conglomerate said it would solicit deal offers, including on a potential buyout, bolstering hopes of a lucrative exit for its hedge fund investors.

Toshiba, which has been locked in a years-long battle with some of its major shareholders over its direction, said on Thursday it had hired Nomura Securities as a financial adviser on strategic alternatives, including a potential privatisation.
The timing of the announcement - just before an annual general meeting expected in June - likely speaks to the continued pressure that the company has faced from investors, who have called in public - and repeatedly in private, according to sources - for a consideration of a buyout.
Toshiba's top shareholder, Effissimo Capital Management, said last month it had agreed to sell its stake to Bain Capital if the U.S. private equity firm launched a tender offer, a move that was seen as potentially putting pressure on Toshiba to revive buyout talks.
Bain has said nothing had been decided about a takeover bid, although the Nikkei business daily reported the firm was planning to team up with Japanese investment funds to make an offer.
The participation of local funds is seen as critical, given that some of Toshiba's assets - including defence equipment and nuclear power - are seen as strategically important in Japan.
The move comes after its shareholders last month voted down a company proposal to spin off its devices unit.
Shares of Toshiba were up 4.7% at 5,404 yen at 0156 GMT.

IPL 2022: RCB vs SRH | Umran, Karthik in focus as upbeat Hyderabad squares up against Bangalore
A win for Sunrisers will elevate them to the top-4 while a victory for RCB will help them grab the top spot.
Umran Malik's raw pace and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's consistency will be put to test against Dinesh Karthik's explosive batting and the finesse of Faf du Plessis when Sunrisers Hyderabad clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, in Mumbai on Saturday.
Malik has caught everyone's attention with his fiery deliveries this season. His tearway pace has even troubled established batters such as Shreyas Iyer.
Alongside senior teammate Bhuvneshwar, the 22-year-old formed a match-winning partnership to defeat Punjab Kings by seven-wickets in their previous outing.
Sunrisers, who are targeting a top-4 position, also have yorker-specialist T Natarajan and South African Marco Jansen in their ranks. Jansen has also been able to tease batters with his angles and variations.
But the seasoned Du Plessis and Karthik have pummelled the best in the business.
The new RCB skipper roared back to form with a fine 96 as he anchored his team's innings after the top order once again collapsed against Lucknow Super Giants.
However, the veteran South African batter missed out on a much deserved maiden IPL hundred in the 18-run win on Tuesday.
On the other hand, Karthik is enjoying one of his best seasons in the league. The wicketkeeper batter has taken the centre stage with his heroics for RCB.
With scores of 32 not out, 14 not out, 44 not out, 7 not out, 34, 66 not out and 13 not out in seven innings, Karthik has seemingly been the best finisher this season.
But apart from the duo, the RCB batters will have their task cut out against Sunrisers, who have momentum on their side after winning four games on the trot.
All eyes will once again be on Virat Kohli, who would be eager to get out of the rut of low scores.
Opener Anuj Rawat, who apart from a 66 against Mumbai Indians, has failed to capitalise on the opportunity provided to him, S Prabhudessai and Glenn Maxwell too will be hoping to provide substantial contributions with the bat.
Their bowling unit, however, is their strong suite, which was not the case in the previous seasons.
Josh Hazlewood has quickly become an irreplaceable piece in the RCB set up. The Australian quick has managed to dominate opposition batters with his consistent line and lengths.
In Hazlewood, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj and Wanindu Hasarnaga, RCB have four match-winners, while Maxwell and Shahbaz Ahmed have also played their part well. They will be up against a SRH batting unit where every batter has taken the responsibility to take their side over the line.
Promoting Abhishek Sharma to the opener's spot has done wonders for the youngster, who has been fabulous at the top, providing SRH aggressive starts.
Skipper Kane Williamson is also back among runs while Rahul Tripathi has shown he too can win matches with the bat when he struck a 37-ball 71 against KKR.
And if the top order fails, the duo of South African Aiden Markaram and swashbuckling Nicholas Pooran are there to finish off matches or set huge targets.
A win for Sunrisers will elevate them to the top-4 while a victory for RCB will help them grab the top spot.
Teams (from)
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholos Pooran, Abdul Samad, Priyam Garg, Vishnu Vinod, Glenn Phillips, R Samarth, Shashank Singh, Washington Sundar, Romario Shepherd, Marco Jansen, J Suchith, Shreyas Gopal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sean Abbott, Kartik Tyagi, Saurabh Tiwary, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Umran Malik, T Natarajan.
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Siraj, Faf du Plessis, Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dinesh Karthik, Josh Hazlewood, Shahbaz Ahmed, Anuj Rawat, Akash Deep, Mahipal Lomror, Finn Allen, Sherfane Rutherford, Jason Behrendorff, Suyash Prabhudesai, Chama Milind, Aneeshwar Gautam, Karn Sharma, David Willey, Rajat Patidar, Siddharth Kaul.
Match starts at 7:30 pm.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Honduras extradited former President Juan Orlando Hernández to the United States on Thursday to face drug trafficking and weapons charges in a dramatic reversal for a leader once touted by U.S. authorities as a key ally in the war on the drugs.
Just three months after leaving office, a handcuffed Hernández boarded an airplane with agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration bound for the United States, where he faces charges in the Southern District of New York.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said Hernandez “abused his position as President of Honduras from 2014 through 2022 to operate the country as a narco-state.”
In court documents, U.S. prosecutors alleged Hernandez was involved in a “corrupt and violent drug-trafficking conspiracy” that moved more than 550 tons of cocaine to the United States. He was charged with participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.
Prosecutors charge that Hernandez received millions of dollars from drug cartels, including from notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. They allege he used the money to finance his political campaigns and engaged in voter fraud in the 2013 and 2017 Honduran presidential elections.
“In return, drug traffickers in Honduras were allowed to operate with virtual impunity,” Garland said. “We allege that Hernández corrupted legitimate public institutions in the country — including parts of the national police, military and national Congress.”
Hernández was arrested at his home in Tegucigalpa in February at the request of U.S. authorities. He was shackled and paraded in front of journalists, a sight many Hondurans never imagined seeing.
Honduras’ Supreme Court rejected his appeal of a judge’s decision in favor of extradition.
“Drug trafficking fuels violent crime and addiction; it devastates families, and it ravages communities,” Garland said. “The Justice Department is committed to disrupting the entire ecosystem of drug trafficking networks that harm the American people, no matter how far or how high we must go.”
Hernández has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. In a video message released Thursday, he said, “I am innocent; I have been and I am being unjustly subjected to prosecution.”
He has said he is the victim of drug traffickers he extradited who are now lying to seek revenge.
Henry Osorto Canales, a retired National Police commissioner who is now an analyst, said that while the extradition was an embarrassment for Honduras, it was also a historic day.
“This is a start because it has begun with the largest political piece that the country had and logically the rest of the pieces are going to fall, at least those closest (to Hernández),” Osorto said.
U.S. prosecutors have spent years building cases from low-level drug traffickers and local politicians to organized crime bosses who used their political connections and ties to drug trafficking cartels in Colombia and Mexico to move tons of cocaine to the United States. Many of them testified about making payments to Hernández or one of his brothers, also a politician.
Hernández’s brother Tony Hernández, a former congressman, was sentenced to life in prison in the same U.S. court on essentially the same charges.
Juan Orlando Hernández took office in January 2014 and held the presidency until this January, when Xiomara Castro was sworn in as his replacement. Castro campaigned on rooting out Honduras’ corruption and Hernández was seen as the largest target.
On Wednesday, Honduras’ Supreme Court denied an appeal from the former chief of the National Police, Juan Carlos Bonilla Valladares, better known as “El Tigre” or “The Tiger.” He was arrested after Hernández at the request of U.S. prosecutors on similar charges and is expected to be extradited in the coming weeks.
U.S. prosecutors allege Bonilla assisted the movement of tons of cocaine through Honduras, working with Hernández and his brother Tony Hernández, both co-conspirators in the case in the Southern District of New York.
Hernández’s transport via helicopter under heavy guard from the police base where he was held to the airport Thursday was covered live by local television outlets.
Some Hondurans stood outside the airport’s perimeter fence to catch a glimpse of the former president boarding the plane with U.S. authorities. When Hernández’s plane took off some were seen jumping in celebration.
Thousands of their countrymen emigrated from the country during Hernández’s administration, often shouting “Get out JOH!” using his initials as they walked north. They frequently complained of a lack of job opportunities and gang violence.

It has been over 100 years since the last licensed
tuberculosis vaccine. The clock is ticking to find a new one.
A new model will allow scientists to compare vaccines in development so they can be ranked. As the model is refined, the hope is that it will deliver an improved vaccine for TB - and other illnesses - much faster.
Caused by the bacteria
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, TB has coevolved with humans over centuries. It still claims the lives of around 1.5 million people annually. A quarter of the world's population is latently infected.
Treatment of the disease requires months of intensive therapy with high-quality antibiotics.
Those with active TB may cough up blood or experience fever, chills and weight loss, among other symptoms.
In many parts of the world, access to life-saving medications can be limited, and the stigma attached to the disease often complicates treatment.
The only licenced TB vaccine,
Bacille Calmetter-Guerin (BCG), was first administered in July 1921. BCG has saved millions of lives, protecting infants and children against various forms of the disease.
However, the vaccine's protective capabilities diminish over time, becoming ineffective as recipients reach adulthood.
BCG also fails to protect against pulmonary TB, a form of the disease that allows transmission from an actively infected person to an uninfected person.
Strains of TB that are multidrug resistant (hard to treat) and extensively drug resistant (even harder to treat) have spread across the globe, and TB remains a global health priority in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Developing new vaccine candidates continues to be of paramount importance. One strategy has been to genetically modify BCG to incorporate genes that code for some of Mycobacterium tuberculosis' disease-causing proteins.
This could prompt the body's immune system to recognise and destroy TB upon entry into the lungs. However, the resulting BCG strain must not become virulent enough to cause the actual disease.
A 2020 study to advance this approach, undertaken by the Australian Institute of Tropical Health & Medicine, suggests that carefully designed strains of genetically modified BCG could retain the safety profile of standard BCG while generating a more comprehensive immune response in the recipient.
One challenge in such a large-scale undertaking is interpreting the results: when new vaccines are being developed by different research groups around the world, it is difficult to feasibly make direct comparisons between every potential TB vaccine.
The 'Vaccine Empirical Integrated Model' (VEIM) has been developed in a bid to overcome this obstacle.
The model aims to integrate multiple measurements of vaccine safety, whether it triggers the immune system, and protection, producing a ranking system to help guide scientists in how vaccines compare head-to-head.
This model is still in its infancy, but the hope is that scientists with different areas of expertise will refine the model and produce a 'gold standard' that streamlines the vaccine development and testing process. This in turn would speed up the development of new vaccines.
The way TB vaccines are administered has also been rethought. Traditionally, vaccines are injected into muscle or skin tissue, inoculating the recipient with the necessary material to develop a specific yet systemic immune response.
However, a strong body of evidence demonstrates the benefit of matching the route of vaccine delivery to the route the disease enters the body. In the case of TB (a respiratory-spread disease), this could mean administering the vaccine directly into the respiratory system.
Nasal spray vaccines such as 'FluMist' have already been approved for use and serve as a possible avenue for a respiratory-delivered TB vaccine. Booster-dosing has also garnered attention.
The emergence of new infectious diseases with pandemic potential, such as SARS, MERS and COVID-19, highlights the importance of rapid vaccine development.
Currently, 21 new TB vaccine candidates have entered clinical trials, and several others are in their preclinical phases.
While some of these candidates have demonstrated a reasonable degree of efficacy in human studies, BCG remains the gold standard.
With an exponentially increasing population, mass land clearing and climate change contributing to a drastic transformation of our natural environment, the risk of frequent pandemics is rising.
By developing a universal method to compare new vaccine candidates, scientists will be able to advance their long-standing battle with TB and be more equipped to respond to the next pandemic. (360info.org) CPS

A smaller portion of U.S. children got routine vaccinations required for kindergarten during the pandemic, government researchers said Thursday, raising concerns that
measles and other preventable diseases could increase.
Rates were close to 94% for measles, whooping cough and
chickenpox vaccinations for the 2020-21 school year. That was down 1% from a year earlier and means 35,000 U.S. children entered kindergarten without evidence that they were vaccinated for
extremely contagious diseases, the federal
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report.
In addition, almost 400,000 fewer children than expected entered kindergarten and their vaccination status is uncertain, the CDC said.
Pandemic-related disruptions likely contributed to the decline, the report said, as pediatricians canceled non-emergency appointments, parents skipped checkups for their children and vaccine requirements were eased for students doing remote learning.
"We haven't seen outbreaks and that's probably representative of the fact that families were staying home during the pandemic,'' said Dr. Georgina Peacock, the CDC's director of immunization services. But authorities worry that could change if kids remain behind on their shots as more people return to normal routines.
Data for the current school year, due in November, should indicate whether the lag persisted, said the CDC's Shannon Stokley.
The data come from schools' reports on vaccination rates in 47 states plus Washington, D.C. The CDC said staffing shortages and other pandemic disruptions could have led to incomplete or absent school reports, a limitation in assessing the true vaccination rates.
In 16 states, rates for kids entering kindergarten were at least 95% for measles shots and for the combination diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough shot. The rates were below 90% for the combined whooping cough shot in eight states plus Washington, D.C., and in seven states plus Washington, D.C., for measles shots.
For chickenpox vaccinations, 17 states had rates of at least 95% and nine plus Washington, D.C., had rates below 90%.

Hyderabad,
Telangana police on Friday registered a case for blocking of
Post Graduate (PG) medical seats at
Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS).
On a complaint by KNRUHS Registrar Praveen Kumar at Matwada police station in Warangal, police registered a case of cheating against some private medical colleges.
Nearly 45 seats were reportedly blocked in some colleges in the names of students from northern states under Convenor quota or free seats based on merit in NEET PG exam. When the university authorities reached out to the students whose names the seats had been blocked, they claimed that they had never sought admission at the KNRUHS.
Some private colleges are suspected to be involved in the scam to transfer the blocked seats to NRI quota to earn huge money.
The university authorities had repeatedly warned students against blocking the seats. However, while checking the admission process, the university officials found some discrepancies in the merit list with regard to 45 applicants. When they checked with the candidates, they said they never applied for admission in colleges under KNRUHS.
The alleged irregularities led to eligible rank holders from the state being denied admission.
On the government's suggestion, the university authorities lodged a complaint with the police.
This comes a day after Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan directed the Vice-Chancellor of KNRUHS to submit a detailed report immediately over alleged irregularities in admissions to
medical PG seats in the private colleges.
According to a statement from Raj Bhavan, the governor has taken a serious note of the news of "
Medical PG seat blocking scam" as this led to denial of PG medical seats to the eligible rank holders from the state.
"She being a doctor herself was anguished with the news and directed the Vice-Chancellor of KNRUHS, Warangal, to submit a detailed report immediately duly initiating the corrective measures,a it said.
There are 33 medical colleges under the jurisdiction of KNRUHS, comprising nine government colleges, 20 private colleges and four minority colleges.

Chilling video caught the moment killer driver, 24, murdered 'gang rival' teenager by deliberately ramming him off his quad bike in 60mph chase
- WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT
- Rahees Mahmood, 18, suffered catastrophic injuries following crash in Bradford
- He died at the scene, while Tommy-Lee Haigh also suffered serious injuries
- Footage has shown moment Jordan Glover ploughed into back of their vehicle
- The incident was linked to 'ongoing gang rivalries' in local estate, jury was told
- Glover has been jailed for life for murder following a trial Bradford Crown Court
This is the chilling moment a killer driver murdered a 'gang rival' teenager by deliberately ramming him off his quad bike in a 60mph chase.
Rahees Mahmood, 18, died at the scene and a second man suffered serious injuries when Jordan Glover, 24, drove into the rear of their vehicle in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in June last year.
Disturbing footage shows Glover, driving a silver Ford Focus, chasing Mr Mahmood and the driver of the quad bike Tommy-Lee Haigh, 19, along a residential street before the fatal collision takes place.
As they round a bend, Glover ploughs into the back of the quad bike, causing it to spiral out of control and smash into a nearby wall.
Mr Mahmood suffered a catastrophic injuries and died at the scene, despite horrified members of the public rushing to his aid.
Glover was convicted of his murder and causing grievous bodily harm to Mr Haigh following a trial at Bradford Crown Court on Thursday.
He was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years.
The chase reached speeds of up to 60mph, with both vehicles overtaking along a residential street before the fatal collision took place
Rahees Mahmood, 18, suffered catastrophic head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene despite members of the public rushing to his aid
Jordan Glover has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years and banned from driving for three years upon his release following a conviction for murder and GBH at Bradford Crown Court
The court heard the murder was linked to 'ongoing gang rivalries' in the Holme Wood estate of Bradford.
Jason Pitter QC, prosecuting, told the court that tensions were high, earlier the same day, Glover was a passenger in a Nissan Terrano that rammed and damaged a VW Golf.
The quad bike then arrived at the scene, with Mr Mahmood a passenger on the back armed with a pitchfork.
A machete was also later recovered from the scene of the crash, while a rider on a moped that accompanied the quad bike also had weapons.
Glover set off after the quad bike in a 'determined, dangerous and deliberate way' at speeds of up to 60mph.
Glover gave chase and was at first around five seconds behind the quad bike, but his Ford Focus quickly closed the gap.
He then rammed the quad bike, rotating it anti-clockwise and causing both Mr Mahmood and Mr Haigh to be thrown off.
Glover then abandoned the uninsured car nearby and laid low for a few days before he was arrested by police.
Judge Andrew Hatton told the court that he is a young man with no previous convictions for violence.
CCTV footage has shown Mr Mahmood and a second man trying to flee a silver Ford Focus in Bradford in June last year
Both men were thrown from the vehicle after they were struck from the rear and lost control before slamming into a wall
Passing sentence, he said Glover had allowed himself to become 'embroiled' in gang-related issues on the afternoon of Mr Mahmood's death, adding that he had used his car as a 'weapon'.
The judge said he had also risked the lives of many other drivers that day.
Glover was jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years and banned from driving for three years upon his release.
Following the sentence, Detective Chief Inspector Tony Nicholson of West Yorkshire Police said: 'There are no winners in this case.
'An 18-year-old man lost his life with devastating consequences for his family and friends and a 24-year-old man will be spending a minimum of 18 years in prison.
'I hope this serves as a stark warning to other young men in the Holmewood area who might be engaging in petty damage, assaults, dangerous driving or anti-social behaviour that sometimes it can have serious and deadly consequences.'

Cesar Quintana agonized for weeks that his 2-year-old son wouldn’t make it out of the battered Ukrainian coastal port Mariupol as Russian troops encircled the city.
Thankfully, he did.
But Alexander and his mother are now in Russia, where Quintana, who has full legal custody of the boy in California, is no closer to seeing him again.
Quintana has been trying to bring his son back to the U.S. since his estranged wife took the child to Ukraine without Quintana’s permission in 2020. He was working to get the boy returned through a Ukrainian court when the war broke out, and he lost communication with them.
Last month, he finally learned that, unlike the millions of Ukrainians who fled to Poland or Moldova, the family and others from Mariupol escaped across the closest international border to Russia.
Russia, however, is not a partner of the United States under an international treaty that governs the return of children abducted overseas by one of their parents, though Ukraine is. That has Quintana hoping the Ukrainian court will take his case back up and he can get Russian authorities to enforce any ruling in his favor. He said he’s also trying to persuade his estranged Ukrainian-American wife, Antonina Aslanova, to return to California on her own.
“I’m not giving up, and my son’s not going to grow up in Russia,” Quintana said.
A WhatsApp message sent to Aslanova seeking comment was not returned.
International parental child abduction cases are complex, and advocates say relatively few children taken from their countries of residence are promptly returned. More than 2,000 applications were filed in 2015 under the international treaty that puts in place a process for resolving these cases, and about 45% resulted in the children being returned, according to a report by the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
Many countries have signed the treaty, but it isn’t in effect between the United States and Russia, which makes getting a child returned very difficult, said Melissa Kucinski, a Washington-based attorney who specializes in these cases.
“With the child now sitting in Russia, my expectation is the father’s California custody order will probably mean very little,” Kucinski said.
Quintana, 35, has been trying for more than a year to get his son back through the treaty process with Ukraine, since a California judge ordered that the boy should be returned to him. Quintana traveled to Ukraine, hired a lawyer and said he got Aslanova to agree to let him bring the boy to California. But he said her mother opposed and filed a complaint with police, which stopped him from doing so.
Then, a critical court hearing in February was delayed to March and put off again because of the war.
Since then, Ukraine has said it won’t be able to uphold its treaty commitments during the war, according to the U.S. State Department’s website. The U.S. embassy in Kyiv is closed, though the State Department said it can assist Americans with consular services once they reach another country.
In Russia, the U.S. government’s ability to provide routine or emergency services to U.S. citizens is “severely limited,” a department official said.
The war drove Quintana to desperation. He sent money to Aslanova when the invasion began, but communication was cut off as the city of Mariupol fell under siege. When he couldn’t reach his son, Quintana asked Ukrainian officials for permission to travel to the war-torn country to find him. He was planning to buy a plane ticket to Europe when he said the State Department confirmed the boy, Aslanova and her family had escaped to Russia.
Quintana said he spoke with Aslanova after she got out of Mariupol. He said she was considering coming back to California but was reluctant because she faces criminal charges for child abduction and also for driving under the influence in a case that prompted Quintana to seek the custody order in 2020.
“She is worried about jail,” he said. “Why does my son have to suffer because of her?”
Noelle Hunter, co-founder of the iStand Parent Network, said a voluntary agreement is typically the best option in these cases. She said Quintana has asked the district attorney’s office to drop the abduction charge if Aslanova returns, but prosecutors have not committed to doing so. State Department officials have offered to expedite documents should Aslanova leave Russia and take the child to another country, she said.
“We can’t just kind of sit on our hands,” said Hunter, whose organization supports parents whose children were taken overseas. “We have to be ready.”
The Orange County district attorney’s office declined to discuss the case.
Quintana and Aslanova were in the process of divorcing when she was arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, according to a letter from Orange County prosecutors to Ukrainian officials.
Quintana was granted a custody order and allowed Aslanova to visit the boy at his home in December 2020. While he was sleeping, she took him to the airport and boarded a flight to Turkey then another to Ukraine, he said.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Prosecutors in southern Portugal are formally accusing a suspect in the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a British girl who disappeared nearly 15 years ago while on a family vacation in the southern European country.
A statement on Thursday by the Public Ministry district of Faro, the largest city in Portugal’s Algarve region, did not name the suspect but said they were acting on a request by German authorities and in coordination with English investigators.
In mid-2020, Germany’s police identified Christian Brueckner, a German citizen, as a suspect in the case.
McCann was 3 years old at the time of her disappearance from an apartment where her family was vacationing in the Algarve seaside town of Praia da Luz.
Brueckner, 45, is serving a sentence on drug offenses in a German prison and has a pending seven-year sentence for the 2005 rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal. The rape also took place in Praia da Luz.
Brueckner has denied any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance.
Investigators in the nearby town of Portimao are leading the probe with the assistance of the Judiciary Police, the prosecutors’ statement said.

BitPay, a Bitcoin payment service provider, said that a Porsche dealer serving the Baltimore area in Maryland has begun accepting the dog-themed meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu as payments for their vehicles.
BitBay announced the news on Twitter that Porsche Towson customers doing leasing, financing, trade-ins and other forms of car purchases now have the ability to buy luxury vehicles using cryptocurrencies, specifically, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum. "Turn your #crypto into precious metal at Porsche Towson. Now accepting crypto as payment for vehicle purchases," BitPay tweeted.
As an enterprise-grade crypto payment system, BitPay enables businesses to accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and many others using a seamless application programming interface (API). Streamlining the process, the payment system allows merchants to use cryptocurrencies for one-time payments or recurring billing.
BitPay also features several tools that shield its users from price volatility since any amount a business charges for a product or service is paid out based on the value of the cryptocurrency at the time of purchase, less the transaction fee charged by the crypto payment platform.
Porsche Towson, which offers new, certified pre-owned and leasing options in Pennsylvania and Maryland, is not the first independent car dealership to accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Bots Inc., a Puerto Rican tech company, has allowed local dealers to take Dogecoin as a form of payment for all Tesla vehicles since 2021.
American electric vehicle maker Tesla also started accepting Dogecoin as payment for its merchandise. CEO Elon Musk said that the company would accept DOGE as a form of payment for purchasing Tesla electric vehicles toward the end of the year.
While Musk has not said anything about adding Shiba Inu to its list of acceptable payments, a petition on Change.org has requested the tech billionaire to consider adding the meme coin. Over the past months, more businesses have opted to integrate cryptocurrencies into their list of acceptable payment methods.
Shiba Inu was trading up 2.18% at $0.0000245, with a 24-hour volume of $528,051,333, while Dogecoin was trading down 3.37% at $0.1366, with a 24-hour volume of $746,218,289 as of 9:51 p.m. ET on Thursday, based on the data from CoinMarketCap.

During a recent visit, Ofsted found that the authority ensured families received the right help at the right time, with a clear focus on the needs of the children.
This led to a strong focus on reducing risk faced by children and improving their chances in life.
They also spoke positively about the tailored support provided to those children on the edge of entering care. This multidisciplinary team, including mental health services, education mentors and youth offending officers, focuses on restoring family relationships working towards a positive future for the children.
Coun Patricia Bradwell , executive councillor for children’s services, said: “Keeping children safe and ensuring they get a good start in life is a priority for the council. We are proud of the strong and effective support we provide, and the inspectors were quite rightly impressed with what they found.
“This is a ringing endorsement for the excellent work of the hard-working staff who ensure children, young people and their families receive the services they need, especially at the most critical times.”
Ofsted praised the strong relationships between social workers and the families they support and recognised that partnership working was well-established, including good links with health services, schools, and police.
In addition, Ofsted acknowledged that services for children had remained a high priority throughout the pandemic and resources had been protected and enhanced since the last inspection in 2019.

Mandiant M-Trends 2022
Global median dwell time continues to decline; however, a significant number of new threat groups and malware families have emerged
India, April 20, 2022 – Minddiant Inc (NASDAQ: MNDT) today announced the findings of Mandiant® M-Trends® 2022, an annual report that provides timely data and insights based on Mandiant frontline investigations and remediations of high-impact cyber attacks worldwide. The 2022 report––which tracks investigation metrics between October 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021—reveals that while significant progress has been made in threat detection and response, Mandiant continues to see adversaries innovate and adapt to achieve their mission in targeted environments.
Global Median Dwell Time Drops to Three Weeks
According to the M-Trends 2022 report, the global median dwell time––which is calculated as the median number of days an attacker is present in a target’s environment before being detected––decreased from 24 days in 2020 to 21 days in 2021. Digging deeper, the report notes that the APAC region saw the biggest decline in median dwell time, dropping to just 21 days in 2021 compared to 76 days in 2020. Median dwell time also fell in EMEA, down to 48 days in 2021 compared to 66 days the year before. In the Americas, median dwell time stayed steady at 17 days.
When comparing how threats were detected across different regions, the report found that in EMEA and APAC, the majority of intrusions in 2021 were identified by external third parties (62% and 76%, respectively), a reversal of what was observed in 2020. In the Americas, the detection by source remained constant with most intrusions detected internally by organizations themselves (60%).
Organizations’ improved threat visibility and response as well as the pervasiveness of ransomware––which has a significantly lower median dwell time than non-ransomware intrusions––are likely driving factors behind reduced median dwell time, per the report.

New Threats Emerge as China Ramps Up Espionage Activity
Mandiant continues to expand its extensive threat knowledge base through frontline investigations, access to the criminal marketplace, security telemetry and the use of proprietary research methods and datasets, analyzed by more than 300 intelligence professionals across 26 countries. As a result of relentless information gathering and analysis, Mandiant experts began tracking 1,100+ new threat groups during this M-Trends reporting period. Mandiant also began tracking 733 new malware families, of which 86% were not publicly available, continuing the trend of availability of new malware families being restricted or likely privately developed, according to the report.
M-Trends 2022 also notes a realignment and retooling of China's cyber-espionage operations to align with the implementation of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan in 2021. The report warns that the national-level priorities included in the plan “signal an upcoming increase in China-nexus actors conducting intrusion attempts against intellectual property or other strategically important economic concerns, as well as defense industry products and other dual-use technologies over the next few years.”
Strengthening Security Posture
Mandiant remains committed to helping organizations remain secure from cyber threats and build confidence in their cyber defence readiness. To support this mission, Mandiant provides risk reduction tips throughout the M-Trends report, including mitigating common misconfigurations when using on-premises Active Directory, certificate services, virtualization platforms and cloud-based infrastructure. The report also reinforces considerations to support proactive security programs, reiterating the importance of long-standing security initiatives such as asset management, log retention policies and vulnerability and patching management.
To further support community and industry efforts, Mandiant continuously maps its findings to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, mapping an additional 300+ Mandiant techniques to the framework in 2021. The M-Trends report notes that organizations should prioritize which security measures to implement based on the likelihood of specific techniques being used during an intrusion. According to the report, by examining the prevalence of techniques used during recent intrusions, organizations are better equipped to make intelligent security decisions.
Additional takeaways from M-Trends 2022 Report include:
- Infection Vector: For the second year in a row, exploits remained the most frequently identified initial infection vector. In fact, of the incidents that Mandiant responded to during the reporting period, 37% started with the exploitation of a security vulnerability, as opposed to phishing, which accounted for only 11%. Supply chain compromises increased dramatically, from less than 1% in 2020 to 17% in 2021.
- Target industries impacted: Business and professional services and financial were the top two industries targeted by adversaries (14%, respectively), followed by healthcare (11%), retail and hospitality (10%) and tech and government (both at 9%).
- New Multifaceted Extortion and Ransomware TTPs: Mandiant observed multifaceted extortion and ransomware attackers using new tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to deploy ransomware rapidly and efficiently throughout business environments, noting that the pervasive usage of virtualization infrastructure in corporate environments has made it a prime target for ransomware attackers.
Executive Quotes
“This year’s M-Trends report reveals fresh insight into how threat actors are evolving and using new techniques to gain access into target environments. While exploits continue to gain traction and remain the most frequently identified infection vector, the report notes a significant increase in supply chain attacks. Conversely, there was a noticeable drop in phishing this year, reflecting organizations’ improved awareness and ability to better detect and block these attempts. In light of the continued increased use of exploits as an initial compromise vector, organizations need to maintain focus on executing on security fundamentals––such as asset, risk and patch management.” – Jurgen Kutscher, Executive Vice President, Service Delivery, Mandiant
“Multifaceted extortion and ransomware continue to pose huge challenges for organizations of all sizes and across all industries, with this year’s M-Trends report noting a specific rise in attacks targeting virtualization infrastructure. The key to building resilience lies in preparation. Developing a robust preparedness plan and well-documented and tested recovery process can help organizations successfully navigate an attack and quickly return to normal business operations.” – Jurgen Kutscher, Executive Vice President, Service Delivery, Mandiant
“Chinese cyber espionage activity ramped up significantly in recent years, with Asia and the U.S. remaining the most targeted regions. This year’s M-Trends report notes a specific focus on government organizations as well as the use of the same malware families among multiple cyber espionage actor sets, likely due to resource and tool sharing by disparate groups. Further, with the implementation of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan in 2021, we expect to see cyber espionage activity continue to accelerate in support of China’s national security and economic interests over the next few years.” – Charles Carmakal, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Mandiant
"Several trends from previous years continued into 2021. Mandiant encountered more threat groups than any previous period, including newly discovered groups. In a parallel trend, in this period we began tracking more new malware families than ever before. Overall, this speaks to a threat landscape that continues to trend upward in volume and threat diversity. We also continue to witness financial gain be a primary motivation for observed attackers, as case studies this year on FIN12 and FIN13 highlight. If we pivot to the defender perspective, we see several improvements despite an incredibly challenging threat landscape. As one example, this M-Trends report has the lowest global media dwell time on record. Additionally, APAC and EMEA showed the largest improvements in several threat detection categories compared to previous years." – Sandra Joyce, Executive Vice President, Mandiant Intelligence, Mandiant
M-Trends 2022 Methodology:
The metrics reported in M-Trends 2022 are based on Mandiant investigations of targeted attack activity conducted between October 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. The information gleaned has been sanitized to protect the identities of targets and their data.

Cryptocurrencies can truly change lives, and depending on where you look, a lot of lives have already been changed by such innovative technology.
Brandon “Bdice” Bebe, a multi-medium artist from Vancouver, Canada garnered widespread attention on Twitter when Justin “3LAU” Blau, the famed American DJ, record producer, and now a Web3 entrepreneur helped pay off his college debt through crypto in just a matter of seconds.
That story goes, in 2011–2012, Bdice created a song and a video every day for 365 days straight on his YouTube channel in a series called “Daily 16s”. He did it while attending school for Audio Engineering & Music Production. By the end of his Daily 16s, he had amassed over 1 million views and 10,000 subscribers.
Since then, his perspective on the art of creation had shifted. He had created everything with the instinct that he needed to maintain 100% ownership of everything he created, which is now a concept that is inherently on-demand in the Web3 space.
But despite Bdice’s early successes in music and being forced to work for clients to earn and save money, Bdice accumulated a looming debt over the last 10 years which caused him a financial burden and prevented him from gaining total creative freedom.
That is until he connected with 3LAU. 3LAU has emerged as one of the biggest cryptocurrency advocates in the music industry and has raised $16M in 2021 to tokenize music royalties for his startup.
Bdice became friends with 3LAU through @OnChainTV, which is a Twitter space where music artists of all kinds hang out every night and discuss everything about Web3. They have been talking back and forth for a few weeks and had quickly become friends over time. 3LAU happens to be a regular in the space to hang out and just bounce ideas with fellow artists.
Then a few weeks ago, Bdice took the initiative and privately messaged 3LAU on Twitter asking for advice on his plan to pay his debt using his 10 years' worth of music content by creating a project that can earn 20.5 in Ethereum or a little over $80,000 in CAD since it was the exact current value of his remaining debt.
A couple of days later, on the same Twitter space, the unimaginable happened. 3LAU told Bdice that he read his Twitter DM, but asked if he could share his story and situation at that same moment since he was too swamped with work to respond to messages. After Bdice told his story, 3LAU immediately plugged his crypto wallet and sent exactly 20.5 in Ethereum or $80,000 CAD(at the time of transaction) to his wallet.
As you could’ve imagined, the entire room of the Twitter space went crazy and to this day, Bdice still has a hard time believing what had happened. Check the Twitter post screenshot below for reference.
Bdice says that Web3 doesn’t get positive publicity and hopes his story is a reminder that Web3 can truly change lives for the better. So, let’s all together, tell stories about the positive side of Web3, the side where fascinating and life-changing stories exist.

BALTIMORE — Just about everything seems more expensive as inflation impacts the prices of goods and services people buy every day.
It's also affecting the cost of healthcare.
Healthcare is one thing that's especially taking a hard hit from inflation and could take quite a while for prices to recover, if at all.
Inflation on healthcare generally tends to run about two-times higher than anything else. Healthcare benefit-experts find it's usually about 6% higher.
A recent study from HealthView Services projects healthcare-inflation will stay at nearly 12% for the rest of 2022 and into 2023.
Prices are expected to go back down at some point.
Meanwhile, people might not realize the effects of inflation on their healthcare, until they have their next doctor visit or get their next medical bill.
Healthcare consultant PCS Advisers managing partner Paul Seegert said "it shows up in your premium. And that's to me why it can be so difficult for a consumer to deal with this. It not only affects your monthly costs in terms of your premium share, let's say you're getting your coverage, so your employer you're going to see your payroll deductions increase and they have increased more quickly than wage gains for quite a few years."
Health experts warn consumers to be prepared for the long-lasting effects of inflation's impact on healthcare because health care prices tend to keep going up, even at a slower-rate.
“As a consumer, we have to learn to consume better. Even when you have an insurance plan, and you have a set deductible and a set copay for a certain procedure. Different providers may charge wildly different amounts for that procedure and we do have to get better at consuming health care, like we do other things," Seegert said.
As the price of healthcare tends to keep going up, experts recommend people set more money aside for health care that they might need in retirement. Social security and medicare cost-of-living adjustments are not expected to keep up with rising healthcare higher costs.
