Due to escalating Russian military threats, US President Joe Biden has ordered all American citizens still in Ukraine to evacuate the country immediately. Mr. Biden has stated that if Russia invades Ukraine, he will not send soldiers to rescue Americans. "Things might get crazy rapidly" in the region, he said.

 Following Dame Cressida Dick's retirement, a search for a new Metropolitan Police Commissioner is underway. Dame Cressida said she was left with "no choice" when London Mayor Sadiq Khan expressed his displeasure with her leadership. "I agreed to stay for a short term to preserve the Met's stability," she stated. Some Met PCs were found guilty of "disgraceful" misogyny, discrimination, and sex harassment by the police watchdog last week. Dame Cressida, the first woman to manage the UK's largest police department, was also chastised after Sarah Everard was murdered by a serving Met officer last year. The Met is also in charge of national counter-terrorism policing, in addition to London. The home secretary will pick her successor in collaboration with the mayor of London. Matt Jukes and Neil Basu, both assistant Met commissioners, are among the contenders. Sir Paul Stephenson, a former Metropolitan Police Commissioner, told LBC that "we sho
