After officials from both nations gathered in Geneva for high-stakes negotiations, Russia told the US that it has no plans to invade Ukraine. Both sides agreed to continue efforts to decrease tensions following a seven-hour meeting on Monday. Following the talks, however, there was little hint of a substantial breakthrough. Around 100,000 Russian troops are thought to be near the Ukrainian border, raising concerns of an assault and eliciting warnings from the West. If Russia attacks Ukraine, the US has stated that sanctions will be imposed. Meanwhile, Russia has urged the United States not to "underestimate the risks" of its confrontation with the West. Following the discussion, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters, "We conveyed to our colleagues that we have no plans, no ambitions to attack Ukraine." He stated that the Russians had informed their American counterparts that "all steps for combat training of soldiers and forces are carri

According to his lawyer, millionaire convicted murderer Robert Durst died in prison at the age of 78. Durst died in a California prison after pleading guilty to the murder of his acquaintance Susan Berman in September. He assassinated her in order to prevent her from speaking to the authorities about his wife's abduction. He is suspected of killing two more people, according to police. In an HBO criminal documentary series about himself, the US real estate heir turned fugitive unintentionally confessed. Durst's lawyer, Chip Lewis, confirmed that he died in the hands of the California Department of Corrections at the San Joaquin General Hospital. He claimed that he died of "natural causes" and that he had been suffering from a variety of medical problems. Durst was sentenced to life in prison in October for the murder of Berman, a long-time confidante and publicist, in 2000. Due to the Covid epidemic, his trial had been postponed for more than a year. According to his

A guy from the United States has become the world's first person to receive a heart transplant from a genetically engineered pig. Doctors say David Bennett is doing well three days after the seven-hour experimental treatment in Baltimore. Mr Bennett's life was thought to be on the verge of being saved by the transplant, albeit it is unclear how long he will live. Mr Bennet, 57, revealed a day before the surgery, "It was either die or do this transplant." "I know it's a long shot, but it's my final resort." The US medical regulator granted a special permit to doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center to carry out the treatment on the grounds that Mr Bennett would have died otherwise. The transplant is the conclusion of years of research for the medical team who performed it, and it has the potential to impact lives all across the world. According to a press statement from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, surgeon Bartley P. Gri

During the first lockdown, it is understood that up to 100 people were invited to a "bring-your-own-booze" drinks gathering in the Downing Street garden. According to witnesses, the PM and his wife attended the gathering on May 20, 2020. Boris Johnson, on the other hand, has refused to acknowledge whether he was present. The Metropolitan Police said it had contacted the government in response to "widespread reporting relating to alleged breaches" of Covid guidelines. ITV News obtained an email in which people were invited to "socially distanced refreshments in the No 10 garden this evening." It was sent when the lockdown was still in effect. The laws in England were finally modified 12 days later, on June 1, allowing groups of up to six people to assemble outside. If the prime minister was proved to have attended, Labour claimed he would face "severe questions." Downing Street, however, declined to comment, stating that the gathering, along with

As a clearer picture of what caused New York City's deadliest fire in three decades emerged Monday, hospitals worked to save several people who were gravely injured in a Bronx apartment building fire. Authorities say the fire started at 11 a.m. on Sunday, and dozens of people were taken to the hospital. Thirteen persons have been admitted to hospitals in critical condition. As of Monday morning, their whereabouts were unknown. "Today's fire was a sad tragedy, and our prayers are with the families of those who were touched," Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx said in a statement on Sunday, adding that the blaze had brought in 19 patients. The city-run medical clinic said Monday two of its patients passed on and five are in not kidding condition. The rest were released, as per a medical clinic representative. New York City Mayor Eric Adams adjusted the loss of life during a Monday public interview, saying the clinical inspector's office affirmed 17 individuals passe

The mother of an autistic man imprisoned for robbery claims she is seeking to clean his name after the legal system failed to recognize his handicap. Joan Martin says that Osime Brown, 23, was unable to conduct the crime due to his autism, and that he was not given a fair trial. She's working with lawyers to challenge a "miscarriage of justice" alleging institutional prejudice. The Ministry of Justice stated that it was unable to comment on specific cases. Mr Brown, from Dudley, was convicted in 2018 together with other defendants of a 2016 robbery including the theft of a cellphone. He was also found guilty of attempted robbery and perverting the course of justice, which Ms Martin was not aware of. Jamaica-born Mr Brown spent half of a five-year sentence and risked deportation, but the Home Office dropped the plans in June of last year. Campaigners said that he lacked a support network in Jamaica and would struggle to reintegrate if he returned. Ms Martin claimed that he

Alec Baldwin stated on Saturday that any claims that he hasn't cooperated with the inquiry into the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of "Rust" last October are false. Baldwin addressed the problem with his cellphone in a video he shared to Instagram. "Any notion that I am not complying with requests, orders, demands, or search warrants regarding my phone" is "a lie," Baldwin, 63, said in the video, which was shot while he was sitting in the driver's seat of a car. He didn't specify who, if anyone, was suggesting that he comply. Baldwin, 63, stated in the video, which was shot when he was sitting in the driver's seat of a car. He didn't specify who, if anyone, was suggesting that he comply. Authorities don't have the phone, according to Baldwin, because they need to go through the legal means to obtain it, which are more onerous for a person who lives in another state. On December 16, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's D

His death was confirmed by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, which was initially reported by TMZ. According to the agency, deputies were dispatched to a room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, after receiving a report that someone was unresponsive there.

Campaigners will declare on Monday that Michael Gove needs to spend billions more to end the fire safety disaster in homes throughout England, warning that his current plan to replace all Grenfell-style cladding overlooks a slew of other concerns that leaseholders face. The secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities will announce a £4 billion programme to help leaseholders avoid the high expense of repairing combustible cladding, telling parliament that tenants of buildings between 11 and 18 stories tall will no longer have to pay debilitating bills. In a new plan to hold building companies and manufacturers of combustible materials accountable, he would remind them, "We are coming for you," warning that they have showed "insufficient contrition" after the June 2017 disaster that killed 72 people. However, leaseholders in properties with additional fire-safety issues, such as wooden balconies, will continue to face large bills, and campaigners will

A fire in a New York apartment complex has killed at least 19 people, including nine children. According to New York Mayor Eric Adams, another 32 persons were sent to the hospital, with several of them in critical condition. According to fire commissioner Daniel Nigro, bodies were located on every floor of the 19-story building, and the smoke was "unprecedented." According to NBC News, the death toll was the highest in New York in 30 years. It comes only days after a fire in a Philadelphia apartment killed 12 people, including eight children. Officials said the fire started around 11:00 a.m. local time (16:00 a.m. GMT) in an apartment on the second and third floors of the Bronx residential building. A total of 200 firefighters were dispatched to put out the fire, which officials think was started by a faulty electric heater. Commissioner Nigro stated that the fire was on two floors, but that the smoke had spread throughout the building. According to Commissioner Nigro, the do
