In the United Kingdom, A Plan To Provide Homes For Refugees From Ukraine Has Begun

In the first five hours after the government established its Homes for Ukraine website for those interested in hosting a refugee, 43,800 people signed up.

Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Housing and Communities, said the UK had a tradition of "helping the most vulnerable through their darkest hours."

He stated that the number of Ukrainians who could enter the UK through the visa sponsorship scheme would be unlimited.

Each refugee-housing household will receive £350 per month in tax-free funds.

They will not be required to give meals or cover living expenses, but they may choose to do so.

People interested in offering a rent-free place in their house or a separate residence for at least six months can register online.

From Friday, they will be permitted to sponsor a Ukrainian national's visa on an individual basis. Those initial applications will be based on the applicant knowing a named Ukrainian individual they wish to assist.

However, Mr Gove stated that Ukrainian refugees with no family or other ties to the UK can and will be welcomed as part of the scheme.

He explained that the sponsorship plan was initially limited to persons who already knew each other in order to get it "up and running as quickly as feasible."

With the cooperation of charities, community groups, and churches, the scheme will be expanded.

There is no timetable for when this will happen, but Mr Gove stated that it will happen "rapidly."

The administration has been chastised for the pace and scope of its reaction to the refugee crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including by its own MPs.

Since Vladimir Putin authorized the Russian invasion about three weeks ago, nearly three million people have fled Ukraine.

Mr Gove had stated that the scheme was open to Ukrainian nationals and residents, but his department later clarified that only Ukrainian nationals and immediate family members who had lived in the country prior to January 1 were eligible.

Ways to relief stress

Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a mortgage, or the birth of a child produce stress. It triggers your fight-or-flight response in order to fight the stress or  run away from it. Typically, after the response occurs, your body should relax. Too much constant stress can have negative effects on your long-term health.  The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. Stress becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors. As a result, the person becomes overworked, and stress-related tension builds. The body's auto...

The Phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ Is Now A Frequent Sight In America.

  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...

Michelle Mone, a Conservative peer, has been accused of sending a racist message to an Indian-origin man, who claims in an official complaint that she informed him he was "a waste of a guy's white skin." The remark was purportedly used by a Tory member of the House of Lords in a WhatsApp message made in June 2019 amid a discussion over a deadly yacht disaster off the coast of Monaco. The message was part of a series of WhatsApp interactions that were screenshotted and handed to the House of Lords Standards Commissioner as part of a complaint alleging that Lady Mone sent racist and abusive texts. The complaint and screenshots of the discussions have been obtained by The Guardian, in which Mone appears to make insulting statements about the man's partner's mental health, referring to her as a "mental loony" and "nut case bird." Mone's texts were not sent in the course of her legislative duties, according to the commissioner, thus he was unabl...

In southern England, the party lost support to the Liberal Democrats, and important London councils to Labour.

The Supreme Court Appears To Be Leaning Toward Upholding A Mississippi Abortion Legislation That Would Overturn Roe V. Wade.

Angel
Image
  The Supreme Court hinted on Wednesday that it is on the verge of significantly curtailing abortion rights in the United States, and that it is likely to maintain a Mississippi law that violates one of the key principles of the Roe v. Wade decision, which was handed down over 50 years ago. It was uncertain if the court would finally overturn Roe, which held that women have a fundamental right to terminate their pregnancies. Mississippi's statute forbidding most abortions after 15 weeks, according to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., is not a "dramatic departure" from viability, and gives women adequate time to decide whether or not to terminate their pregnancies. However, none of the court's six conservative members expressed support for upholding the court's ruling that states cannot prohibit abortion before fetal viability, which is commonly believed to be between 22 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. "Why would 15 weeks be an improper line?" he continued. O...

Boris Johnson will visit Ukraine later this month for discussions with the president, amid growing fears of a Russian invasion. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom committed to cooperate with Volodymyr Zelensky to find a diplomatic solution to the Russian dispute and "prevent additional bloodshed." Near Russia's border with Ukraine, Russia has gathered an estimated 100,000 troops, tanks, artillery, and missiles. His government, on the other hand, has cautioned Ukraine not to take any further steps toward joining Nato, claiming that doing so would jeopardize Russia's own security. The United States has rejected this proposal, and Western countries have threatened to ratchet up penalties against Moscow if an invasion occurs. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said legislation was being prepared to target a broader range of persons and businesses linked to Mr Putin, while a US official said the penalties would cut anyone connected to the Kremlin off from the international ...
