The Kremlin Denies That Putin's Advisers Are Leading Him Astray

Image
Declassified Putin's senior advisers have allegedly been "too afraid to tell him the truth" about the situation on the ground, according to US intelligence. Russian President Vladimir Putin is being mislead by his advisers on Russia's battlefield defeats, according to the Kremlin. "Neither the State Department nor the Pentagon have true information about what is happening in the Kremlin," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said at a daily news briefing on Thursday. "They simply do not comprehend what is going on in the Kremlin," he said, warning that "such a complete ignorance leads to erroneous and reckless actions that have extremely serious implications." It comes after declassified US information revealed that Putin's top advisers were "too terrified to tell him the truth" about the situation on the ground. The Biden administration revealed a proposal to release about 1 million barrels of oil per day for up to six months

Police Discover Five Fetuses At The House Of An Anti-Abortion Activist In The United States

Lauren Handy, 28, styles herself as a "Catholic anarchist" and is the head of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU). When the foetuses were discovered, police claimed they were looking into a "possible bio-hazard material." Ms Handy was indicted separately on Wednesday for attempting to force her way into an abortion clinic in 2020. On Wednesday, while detectives retrieved items from the basement in bags and coolers, she was pictured outside the residence. "People would freak out when they heard" what was inside the crates being seized, she told local news site WUSA9. The home where the foetuses were discovered was not Ms Handy's, according to Washington police. The house, however, was where Ms Handy was detained and had resided or stayed, according to two law enforcement sources who spoke to the Washington Post. At a press conference, Ashan Benedict, executive assistant Washington DC police chief, said, "There doesn't seem to be anyth

In England, An Artificial Pancreas is Set To Revolutionize Diabetes Care

Image
A potentially life-changing artificial pancreas is being tested in over 900 patients with type 1 diabetes in England. It can replace finger prick tests and prevent life-threatening hypoglycaemic episodes, which occur when blood sugar levels drop too low. The method works by placing a sensor beneath the skin. It continuously monitors the readings, and a pump adjusts the quantity of insulin required automatically. Charlotte, a six-year-old from Lancashire, is one of over 200 youngsters who use the hybrid closed loop device. Ange Abbott, her mother, said that it has had a huge impact on the entire family. "Everything was manual before the loop," she explained. "At night, we'd have to set the alarm every two hours to administer finger pricks and insulin corrections to deal with Charlotte's blood sugar fluctuations." In the United Kingdom, almost 400,000 people have type 1 diabetes, a condition in which the body is unable to generate insulin, the hormone that reg

Andrii Kravchuk, A Ukrainian Refugee, Has Been Allowed To Train With Manchester City

Manchester City has been granted Premier League permission to work with Ukrainian refugee Andrii Kravchuk. Oleksandr Zinchenko, a City and Ukraine defender, was instrumental in the decision. At Shakhtar Donetsk, the two played together as teenagers. When the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, Kravchuk was at a training camp in Turkey with his Russian team Torpedo Moscow. The 23-year-old midfielder has now ended his contract and relocated to Manchester, where he will train with City's Under-23 team for the rest of the season. When it came to playing for a Russian club, Kravchuk remarked, "I felt incredibly uncomfortable." "I was having fun in a country that had invaded my native country." The only option was to leave the club. If I continued to play in Ukraine, the people would not understand me." Kravchuk's family has remained in Kyiv, where his brother Aleks is a member of the Ukrainian military. "Every day, I tell him how proud I am of him for sa

Millions Face A Bill Shock As Energy Prices Soar

Millions of individuals will now be affected by an unprecedented £700-per-year increase in energy expenses, which comes on top of a slew of other bill increases. A typical household using a normal amount of gas and electricity will now pay £1,971 per year due to the 54 percent increase in the energy price cap. In October, another increase, bringing the annual bill to £2,600, is predicted, according to one analyst. Some people's council tax, water bills, and auto tax will increase on April 1st. Minimum wage rates are rising, which, combined with some government assistance, is helping to ease the hit. A typical energy bill increase of £693 per year will affect 18 million families, with 4.5 million consumers on prepayment meters facing a £708 per year increase. Prices are rising at their quickest rate in 30 years, but the unexpected rise in energy costs is the most important for individuals. Customers gave meter readings to ensure they paid no more than was absolutely necessary, and a
