Biden Visits Poland As The Country Grapples With An Inflow Of Ukrainian Refugees

President Joe Biden visited southern Poland on Friday, where he spoke with US troops and charity workers supporting refugees in a country at the center of Ukraine's humanitarian and military conflict.

"What you're working on is far more than determining whether or not you can help the people of Ukraine reduce their agony and suffering. "We're entering a new period, your generation, and we're at a crossroads," Biden addressed the troops.

Biden spoke with US troops stationed in Rzeszow, who began arriving at the military installation there last month as part of the US deterrent operation against Russia.

The president struck up a conversation with a group of service men, referring to them as the "finest fighting force in the history of the planet," and then sat down to share a slice of pizza with them in the mess hall.

Biden stated, "You are the organizing principle around which the rest of the world, the free world, is going." "We're in the middle of a fight between democracies and oligarchs," he says. "I don't want to sound too philosophic here, but we're in the middle of a fight between democracies and oligarchs."

The troops are stationed fewer than 100 miles from a Ukrainian military site hit by Russian missiles earlier this month. The service men have been practicing with their Polish and British counterparts in order to familiarize themselves.

Ministers May Ignore The JCVI And Push For Covid Vaccinations For All 12- To 15-Year-Olds

Ministers could ignore their official vaccine consultants for the first time and push for Covid vaccinations for all 12- to 15-year-olds, after a scientific body ruled that the net health benefit of vaccination was too tiny. Ministers will seek additional data that could help them overturn the watchdog's decision, highlighting a deepening divergence between the government and scientific experts over the next phase of the vaccine campaign. After days of speculation, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) released a statement on Friday saying that while the health benefits of vaccinating the entire age group outweighed the risks, "the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds," At this time, the evidence is insufficient to justify universal immunization of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds." On Friday, a line of young people formed in London to get vaccinated. Instead, the group advised expan...

  n the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” commenced to show up everywhere: on front lawns and back bumpers, on NBA players’ warm-up shirts in the course of pregame shoot-arounds, on gamers’ title displays when they fired up “FIFA 20,” on the tongues of longtime activists, college coaches, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). On the chests of Black people declaring their humanity and White people professing their allyship. After former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s murder, Lisa Granade, a 40-year-old White woman, finally got around to placing up a signal on her property, in an overwhelmingly White Seattle neighborhood. Granade selected a black flag with a rainbow-colored fist clenched in solidarity, hanging it on a street-facing fence alongside banners assisting LGBTQ rights and opposing gun violence. And that’s how she ended up standing in the front of her residence getting yelled at and called a “racist” through another W...
