Traci Braxton, a singer, actor, and reality TV star, died at the age of 50. Braxton had been suffering esophageal cancer, according to her family. "We have reached to the point where we must inform the public that our beloved Traci Braxton has gone on to glory after a year of discreetly undergoing a course of therapy for Esophageal cancer," her husband Kevin Surratt said in a statement. Braxton died with her sisters, mother, and friends by her side, according to her publicist Tomasina Perkins-Washington. She also spent her last year in hospice, Perkins-Washington said. "The first thing she said when I told her she was sick was I'm going to fight and beat this," her son, Kevin Surratt Jr., wrote on Instagram on Saturday. "She battled till the bitter end, and now she is at rest." "I've always loved my mum and this hurts so much, but I'm at peace knowing she's no longer in suffering," he continued.

According to a senior US defense official, Washington is providing extremely sensitive things to Kyiv, such as portable air defense systems. The US and NATO are rushing weapons into Ukraine, including extremely sensitive equipment like shoulder-fired missiles known as man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS), which can bring down planes. The Western arms deliveries, one of which is due to arrive in the next few hours, have been critical in allowing Ukrainians to battle invading Russian forces far more effectively and furiously than US intelligence had predicted. However, deploying such enormous amounts of armament into Europe's largest fight since World War II runs the risk of some falling into the wrong hands - a risk the West has considered. When asked about the possibility, a senior US defense official stated, "Frankly, we believe that risk is worth taking right now because the Ukrainians are fighting so skillfully with the instruments at their disposal and they're em

Following the oligarch's sanction by the UK government, the Premier League has barred Roman Abramovich from serving as a director of Chelsea. As part of the government's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Abramovich's British assets, including Chelsea, were frozen on Thursday. The Russian's planned sale of the club was put on hold as a result of the move. The Premier League stated that Abramovich's suspension will have no effect on the club's ability to train and play. Removing an owner from a board of directors normally results in the sale of the company's stock, which Abramovich began on March 2 after the possibility of sanctions was raised in Parliament. He had authorized Raine Group, an American investment group, to seek £3 billion for Chelsea, but financial analysts feel that price could fall given the present uncertainty surrounding the club. On Thursday, Raine Group put a temporary halt to the sale as it sought answers from the government r

One of the health facilities attacked by Russian soldiers was a maternity and children's hospital in the southern city of Mariupol. As Health Secretary Sajid Javid accused Russia of war crimes in bombing medical institutions, the UK deployed six more planeloads of medical assistance and equipment to Ukraine. Since the invasion began, Mr Javid added, there have been more than 25 attacks on health centers and hospitals. "This is a war crime, and Russia will be held accountable for the atrocities it is committing," he warned. Russia has alleged that hospital bombings were staged, but has provided no proof to support this assertion. Prime Minister Boris Johnson called a Thursday attack on a maternity and children's hospital in Mariupol, which killed three people, including a toddler, "depraved." According to a Ministry of Defence intelligence briefing, several cities remain encircled by Russian forces and continue to be shelled heavily. The majority of Russian g
