According To Russian Official Media, Two Additional Britons Who Were Apprehended By Russian Soldiers In Ukraine Have Been Accused Of Working As Mercenaries

Image
In April, a chef named Dylan Healy who was serving as a volunteer aid worker was apprehended at a checkpoint. The same day, Russia declared Andrew Hill had surrendered and broadcast a video of him dressed in military garb. It comes after Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin, two further British males, were given death sentences last month. They were charged with the same offenses as Mr. Healy and Mr. Hill at the hearing in an unrecognised Russian proxy court in eastern Ukraine. Since then, the European Court of Human Rights has intervened to urge that the sentence be commuted. However, Russia has rejected the call, claiming that it no longer follows the rulings of the Strasbourg court and that the pro-Russian, secessionist Donetsk People's Republic should decide what would happen to the men. An anonymous official from the so-called Donetsk People's Republic allegedly stated in a report by Russia's Tass news agency that Mr. Healy and Mr. Hill would face trial for their "mercena

Image
Liverpool is still chasing a historic quadruple after winning the FA Cup in a penalty shootout against Chelsea at Wembley. Jurgen Klopp's side duplicated their Carabao Cup final success from February, with Alisson saving Mason Mount's penalty and Kostas Tsimikas securing Liverpool's second title of the season. The Reds are still in the Premier League championship chase and will face Real Madrid in the Champions League final. With the brilliant Luis Diaz and Andrew Robertson hitting the woodwork, Liverpool had the better of an entertaining final, though it may come at a cost with Mohamed Salah coming out hurt in the first half and Virgil van Dijk going off after 90 minutes. Chelsea and manager Thomas Tuchel have lost three FA Cup finals in a row, despite having chances - Marcos Alonso hitting the post and also being denied by Alisson - and become the first team to lose three in a row. When Edouard Mendy saved Sadio Mane's penalty in the FA Cup final, when the Liverpool f

Image
The Conservatives have lost over 460 seats and control of 11 municipalities in local elections. In southern England, the party lost support to the Liberal Democrats, and important London councils to Labour. Outside of the city, however, Labour's gains were relatively modest, as the party failed to make a significant breakthrough. Boris Johnson acknowledged that his party had a "difficult" time in some areas, but claimed that the overall results were mixed. With nearly all results in, Labour has gained 144 seats, with leader Sir Keir Starmer stating his party was "on track" to win the next general election. 195 of the 200 councils in England, Wales, and Scotland have declared so far.

For The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, Ancient Trees Have Been Dedicated To Her

Image
In honor of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the Prince of Wales has asked people to protect "dwindling" historic trees. To commemorate the Queen's 70-year reign, a network of 70 ancient woodlands and 70 ancient trees will be dedicated to her. Among those included are the woodland that inspired Winnie the Pooh's 100 Acre Wood and the apple tree where Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity. The prince stated that we must "keep the precious historic woodland habitats for future generations." The Queen's Green Canopy, whose patron is Prince Charles, has been encouraging people to plant trees in honor of the Jubilee and leave a legacy for the Queen. "We must plant more trees and hedgerows in fields, churchyards, and avenues if we are to build the ancient trees of the future," the prince concluded. Prince Charles called for the "dwindling" historic natural habitat to be renewed as he displayed the collection of woodlands and trees that will

The Biden Mask Rule For Flights And Railways Has Been Overturned By A US Judge

Image
The Biden administration's mask mandate for aircraft and other kinds of public transportation has been declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in Florida. The national public health agency had overstepped its legal authority in issuing the rule, according to US District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle. The US transit authority announced that mask wearing would no longer be enforced. The obligation was recently extended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) until May 3rd. Judge Mizelle is based in Florida, but federal judges have the power to reject measures that affect the entire country. Her Monday directive effectively repeals the requirement for masks in all airports, trains, taxis, and transit hubs. The decision was "disappointing," according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who also pointed out that the CDC still advises travelers to cover their mouths and noses. A request for comment on Monday's verdict was not immediately return
