A court ruling paved the way for the first flight under the controversial deal to depart on Tuesday with more than 30 people on board....

Russia is likely to occupy the entire Luhansk region of Ukraine in a few weeks, a senior US defense official has said, as Ukraine has suffered heavy losses and its ammunition supplies are declining. Such a move would leave Russia unable to achieve its war goals of occupying all of Luhansk and Donetsk, which together form the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. But it would still equate to victory for Russian forces and create a new de facto front line that could last for some time....

As YouTube Climate Town analyst explains, the answer is complicated. So complicated, in fact, that there is no one to whom you can point, leverage and set prices at all. The opposite in fact. There is a cartel that throws a big lever to set gas prices, but even they face factors out of control. Gas prices are more directly related to the price of crude oil, so the biggest factor in this price is fluctuations in the geopolitical landscape and the global economy that affect both supply and demand....

But apparently not. Instead, Lady Mone decided to jump. To give her time to give some explanation as to how a £203m contract went to a company, PPE Medpro, which specialized in making often useless PPE – it’s unusual USP – and £29m miraculously landed in one of her bank accounts. Nice coincidence if you can do it. I guess Monet was born lucky. For some, the pandemic was the gift that kept on giving....

Raab, who was a former foreign minister but was recently reappointed as justice minister and deputy prime minister, is the subject of an investigation into allegations of bullying, first revealed by the Guardian. They have led to the questioning of Rishi Sunak’s judgment in bringing him back to the cabinet. In new allegations, a Ministry of Justice official told the Guardian that a May 6 meeting of deputy directors working on policy, which was ostensibly to discuss the performance of Raab’s private office, “degenerated into a 45-minute discussion about the [the deputy directors’] experiences of being bullied by Raab’....

But instead of setting the stage for this scenario, China has reinforced its commitment to “zero Covid”, implementing emergency lockdowns and contact tracing. Meanwhile, daily vaccinations fell to record lows. Intensive care beds remained in short supply, even as workers built testing rooms and isolation facilities. Research on indigenous mRNA vaccines has failed to keep pace with the rapidly mutating virus. Now, the costs of that approach are piling up, putting China in a bind from which there appears to be no easy escape, scientists said in interviews....
