(CNN) UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, whose rare visit to China was criticized by rights groups and Western countries, said she urged Beijing to review its counter-terrorism policies to ensure they comply with international human rights standards. Bachelet reiterated, however, that her six-day trip, which ended on Saturday and included a visit to the western region of Xinjiang, was not an investigation into China's human rights policies but an opportunity to engage with the government. Washington, meanwhile, said it "remains concerned" about Bachelet's trip -- which it believes China could use for propaganda purposes. Bachelet started her China trip, the first by a UN Human Rights High Commissioner in 17 years, on Monday in the southern city of Guangzhou before heading to Xinjiang. Her office said last year it believed Uyghurs in Xinjiang had been unlawfully detained, mistreated and forced to work.

"After Russia's attack on Ukraine, we saw what can happen when Europe stands united. With a view to the summit tomorrow, let's hope it continues like this. But it is already starting to crumble and crumble again," German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Sunday.

Workers in Marseille, France build an almost life-sized recreation of undersea Stone Age cave paintings found off the coast nearbyMarseille (AFP) – To reach the only place in the world where cave paintings of prehistoric marine life have been found, archaeologists have to dive to the bottom of the Mediterranean off southern France. Archaeologist Luc Vanrell's life changed the second he surfaced inside the Cosquer cavern and saw its staggering images. An almost life-sized recreation of the Cosquer cavern will open this week a few kilometres (miles) away in Marseille. "When it is finished, our virtual Cosquer cavern -- which is accurate to within millimetres -- will be indispensable for researchers and archaeologists who will not be able to physically get inside." "And because the cave walls that are today underwater were probably also once decorated, nothing else in Europe compares to its size," he added.

He plants his laser scanner, a sort of tripod with a pivoting head, in a strategic corner of the severely damaged building. - 'Cultural genocide'-In Kharkiv alone, around 500 buildings are listed as being of historic architectural significance. Most are in the dense historic city centre, on which Russian airstrikes are concentrated, according to architect Kateryna Kuplytska, a member of the body documenting damaged heritage sites. And while Russian troops have loosened their noose around Ukraine's second city, shells still rain down with regular monotony. Some critics suggest it is futile to document historic buildings in such meticulous detail while the war is still raging and people are dying every day.

Russia’s 2021 population totaled 147.2 million, the state-owned Rossiiskaya Gazeta daily reported Monday, citing census data. The Rosstat statistics agency said Russia’s population increased by 1.4%, or 2.05 million people, since the previous census conducted in 2010. It was exacerbated by the two-year Covid-19 pandemic, which led to Russia’s largest population decline in 2021 since the end of the Soviet Union. But Rosstat said Russia's population decline was compensated by migration from mostly neighboring countries, which increased by 2.4 million people from 2010 to 2021. Former Soviet countries, led by Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, contributed to 93.5% of the migrants who have settled in Russia over the 11-year period.

Terraform Labs, the Singapore-based company behind the troubled coins terraUSD and luna, had shut down its South Korean branch last year to allegedly evade paying taxes, local news reports showed Monday. The source explained that the high 20 percent interest rate of the coins were “not to be permanent,” meaning that it was meant to attract early investors, and that their Anchor Protocol and source code was mostly transparent.The news comes as prosecutors here are ramping up crackdowns in light of terraUSD and luna’s price crash. The crash resulted in almost $38 billion getting wiped out from some 280,000 Korean investors’ balance sheets in the first week of the fall. The total damage here is yet unknown.The top five exchanges here -- Bithumb, Upbit, Korbit, Gopax and Coinone -- have all recently delisted the troubled coins and refused to add terra 2.0 and luna2, the revamped versions of the coins launched by Kwon last week.So far, 81 South Korean investors who invested in the two troubled Terraform Labs coins have sued Kwon and the firm’s co-founder Daniel Shin, with damages amounting to a combined 8.1 billion won, official documents show.

Song said people will be prompted to use relatively lesser-used airports if Gimpo Airport is closed.Song claimed that those in southern Seoul could use the Cheongju International Airport in North Chungcheong Province, and those in eastern Seoul can use the Wonju Airport in Gangwon Province. Others can use the Incheon Airport, he added.The proposal’s reception has not been positive, however, with cacophony apparent even within the Democratic Party.Rep. Yun Ho-jung, chair of the emergency steering committee for the Democratic Party, told reporters Friday that the pledge is not reflective of the party’s official stance. This is not something that can be taken lightly as a pledge from an individual candidate; it should be seen as a pledge coming from the Democratic Party,” Lee Jun-seok added.Lee Jun-seok and the People Power Party claimed the local airline business and tourism sector will face immense difficulties if Gimpo Airport is shut, as 51 percent of domestic travelers move between Gimpo and Jeju.Closing the airport will directly result in a loss of tourists visiting Jeju Island, the People Power Party claimed, as people will not be inclined to travel further to other airports when Gimpo Airport is gone. Jeju Island as a whole would lose its competitiveness as a tourist destination, Lee said.The conservative party is using the momentum as a chance to boost ratings for its flagbearers in the local elections.“We ask you to strongly condemn and judge the Democratic Party’s politicians, who are making decisions in the capital region without any consideration of the tourism industry, the core economic power of Jeju Island,” Lee Jun-seok said during the Saturday briefing.By Ko Jun-tae ( ko.juntae@heraldcorp.com

South Korea will double the number of professional semiconductor talents by implementing chip-company-licensed departments and strengthening graduate programs at major science institutes across the country, the Ministry of Science and ICT said Monday.Science Minister Lee Jong-ho met with industry leaders including chiefs of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix as well as presidents of four major science institutes -- KAIST, GIST, DGIST and UNIST -- to discuss ways to cooperate for nurturing semiconductor personnel.The ministry said the four science institutes will be at the forefront of advancing the country’s competitiveness in the non-memory chip sector while cementing the leadership in the field of memory semiconductor.The ministry plans to secure next year’s extra budget to train talents specialized in system semiconductor design and artificial intelligence chips. The goal is to raise 3,140 chip professionals for the next five years, it said.Starting next year, a new semiconductor department will be installed at GIST, DGIST and UNIST. The three science institutes will be in charge of educating 100 undergraduate students a year to double the annual number of 100 chip undergraduates currently being trained only at KAIST.The ministry said the existing industry-contracted graduate programs at KAIST and UNIST will be strengthened. The ministry will also review a possible introduction of graduate schools or majors at GIST and DGIST, it added.In doing so, the ministry expects to see an annual output of 500 or more talents specialized in the chip sector with master’s or doctor’s degrees in the next five years. Currently, about 220 students join the industry with semiconductor master’s or doctor’s degrees each year, according to the ministry.The ministry also said the science schools will expand global cooperation with overseas institutes and research centers.“The key to securing competitiveness of advanced semiconductor technology is to cultivate high-quality human resource

The South Korean coffee industry has accumulated approximately 270 billion won ($216 million) worth of unspent stored value on prepaid cards and online coupons, said People’s Power Party lawmaker Yun Chang-hyun on Monday, citing a report from the Fair Trade Commission.About 92 percent of the unredeemed balance -- 250 billion won out of the 270 billion won -- came from Starbucks Korea, according to the report.Unspent stored value refers to the balance that is charged on gift cards and coupons issued by the coffee makers, but is not redeemed or refunded.The numbers for Starbucks Korea is based on its earnings at the end of 2021, as it did not submit data for first quarter of this year. Industry insiders speculate that Starbuck’s actual numbers would have increased to approximately 300 billion won.“When you purchase a product which costs less than the gifted coupon, the transaction is either not made, or the remaining balance is not refunded,” said Rep. Yoon.“Leading companies should come up with policies to refund or save the remaining balance to improve customer inconvenience,” he added.Meanwhile, Starbucks Corp. said in its 2022 Q1 fiscal report that it has accumulated $2.071 billion in “stored value card liability and current portion of deferred revenue” across the world.“While the customer will eventually withdraw the value of their deposits in the form of drinks, the customer has given Starbucks an interest-free loan,” said accounting professor at McCombs School of Business Patrick Badolato in a recent blog post. “(Starbucks) operates like a bank,” he added.By Lee Seung-ku ( seungku99@heraldcorp.com

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Sunday dismissed his fellow congressional Republicans’ talking points in the wake of the tragic elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 19 students and two teachers dead. Instead of heeding to calls for firming up gun control laws in the wake of the massacre, prominent Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) have turned their focus to insisting that the prevention of future school shootings relies on “hardening” schools. Among their proposals to supposedly “harden” schools are single-door entryways with armed guards on campuses. Kinzinger took aim at GOP talking points in the wake of the shooting.

KMT lawmakers try to block bill they say could be used to overturn ex-President Chen Shui-bian’s corruption conviction.

Adolescents still wear facemasks to cover ‘flaws on faces’ISTANBULWhile Turkey has lifted the outdoor mask mandate fully and the indoor mask mandate partially, implemented only in public transportation and hospitals, some young people “obsessed with beauty” continue to wear masks to cover “flaws on their faces,” according to experts. “Adolescence is the time when the sense of beauty affects people the most. “Rather than judging, parents should give an ear to their children why they refuse to take off masks,” she advised.

Associated PressCONCORD, N.C. (AP) — This was the one race Denny Hamlin has been dreaming about. Hamlin finally got the win he has coveted for the last 17 years, holding off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch in overtime Sunday night to win the longest — and perhaps wildest — Coca-Cola 600 in history. Hamlin won for the 48th time in the Cup Series, and for the time in a points race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Trade was likely to be lightened through Monday as U.S. stock and bond markets close for the Memorial Day public holiday. The risk-sensitive Australian and New Zealand dollars were firm after a Friday rally, while the yen was a fraction weaker at 127.28 per dollar. The dollar index, which hit a two-decade high of 105.010 earlier in May was steady at 101.660 on Monday. China's yuan held steady at 6.7210 per dollar in offshore trade, buoyed by progress out of virus lockdowns.

Oil prices rose to two-month highs on Monday as traders waited to see if the European Union would reach an agreement on banning Russian oil ahead of a meeting on a sixth package of sanctions against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. "I don't think it would be a stretch to assume that speculators are positioning for a post-EU summit oil market bounce," said SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes. EU governments failed to agree on an embargo on Russian oil on Sunday, but will continue talks on a deal to ban seaborne deliveries of Russian oil while allowing deliveries by pipeline, ahead of the summit on Monday afternoon, officials said. If agreed, a deal would allow Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia to continue to receive their Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline for some time until alternative supplies can be arranged. The oil market was also on edge after Iran on Friday said its navy had seized two Greek oil tankers in retaliation over the confiscation of Iranian oil by the United States from a tanker held off the Greek coast.

A global recession is not imminent, but brace for rising costs and slower growth, economists say. "There will be no sudden 'after' of stagflation," said Simon Baptist, global chief economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit, referring to a surprise recession after a period of stagflation. For almost all economies of Asia, a recession is fairly unlikely, if we're talking about successive periods of negative GDP. Simon Baptist Global chief economist, EIUSo, consumers — while wary of a repeat of the last global recession brought on by the U.S. subprime crisis over 10 years ago — need not start preparing for a recession. AMP Capital chief economist Shane Oliver doesn't see the recession writing on the wall either, at least not for another 18 months.

Executives at leading recruitment and technology companies have shared with CNBC their top tips for getting ahead in the workplace.

Supply constraints are driving up property prices and rents in Singapore, the chief executive officer of a real estate company said Friday. "You can see a massive gap opening up between demand and supply," said Hari Krishnan of PropertyGuru. Singapore introduced measures to cool the property market in December 2021, but analysts told CNBC in February that they expected prices to continue to rise, though at a slower rate. PropertyGuru's Krishnan said Singapore's construction sector was largely shut for around two years because of a lack of manpower, though the industry started to recover in 2021. Supply chain bottlenecks also affected building materials, he said.

David Dow/NBAE via Getty ImagesIt feels fitting that the first Larry Bird Eastern Conference Finals MVP trophy went to a member of the Boston Celtics. Jayson Tatum took home the award Sunday after helping lead his team to a 100-96 victory over Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the back-and-forth series. Tatum finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal while hitting 4-of-7 from three-point range. That means Tatum will have an opportunity to play in the NBA Finals for the first time in his career as a result. The 24-year-old's resume now includes an Eastern Conference Finals MVP, three All-Star selections and two All-NBA nods.

(CNN) Search and rescue teams in Nepal have recovered the bodies of 14 people on board a Tara Air flight that crashed with 22 people on board, airport authorities told CNN on Monday. "Search and rescue teams are at the site going through the wreckage," Prem Nath Thakur, the general manager of Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, told CNN. "After all the passengers have been found, their bodies will be sent to Kathmandu." The site where the wreckage was found is at an altitude of about 14,500 feet, an airport spokesperson said. Thakur said poor weather conditions were still a concern but efforts to locate the remaining passengers would continue as long as possible.

Craig Kimbrel allowed a run in the ninth before striking out Cooper Hummel with a runner at third for his 10th save.

Incessant shelling has left Ukrainian forces defending ruins in Sievierodonetsk, but their refusal to withdraw is stalling a massive Russian offensive across the Donbas. Zelenskiy visited Ukrainian troops on the frontlines in northeastern Kharkiv region on Sunday, his first trip outside the Kyiv region since the invasion began. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the "liberation" of the Donbas, an industrial region which includes Luhansk and Donetsk, was an "unconditional priority" for Moscow. read moreUkrainian forces in the Donbas said they were on the defensive all day on Sunday. Russian forces fired on 46 communities in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, killing at least three civilians, wounding two others or destroying or damaging 62 civilian buildings.

REUTERS/Jose Luis Gonzalez/File PhotoLONDON/BERLIN, May 30 (Reuters) - The humble wire harness, a cheap component that bundles cables together, has become an unlikely scourge of the auto industry.

An 18-month-old was fatally struck in a drive-by shooting that did not intentionally target the boy, Pittsburgh police said Sunday. The attack Sunday afternoon in near-80-degree weather in downtown Pittsburgh unnerved city officials, who vowed to make an arrest in the case. "I know that our thoughts and our prayers are not enough," Mayor Ed Gainey said at a news conference Sunday. "We are utilizing all available resources to find the responsible people so that we can bring them to justice." The toddler and his mother, the two occupants of a vehicle struck by gunfire, did not appear to be the intended targets, Schmidt said.

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine — Russia claimed to have overrun a key rail hub while its troops fought Ukrainian defenders in the streets of another city in eastern Ukraine. The Russian Defense Ministry said the railroad center Lyman had been “completely liberated’’ by a joint force of Russian soldiers and Kremlin-backed separatists. Pavlo Kyrylenko said Russian troops controlled most of it and were trying to press their offensive toward Bakhmut, another city in the region. Serhii Haidai reported that Ukrainian fighters repelled an assault on Sievierodonetsk but Russian troops still pushed to encircle them. Moscow and Kyiv have traded accusations over which side bears responsibility for keeping shipments tied up, with Russia saying Ukrainian sea mines prevented safe passage and Ukraine citing a Russian naval blockade.

(NOAA via AP)MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Agatha, the season’s first, headed for a stretch of tourist beaches and fishing towns on Mexico’s southern Pacific coast Monday amid warnings of dangerous storm surge and flooding from heavy rains. After forming on Sunday, Agatha quickly gained power, and it was predicted to make landfall as a powerful Category 3 hurricane Monday afternoon or evening, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The hurricane center said Agatha could “bring an extremely dangerous storm surge and life-threatening winds.”Late Sunday, Agatha had maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (175 kph) — just 1 mph under the threshold for a Category 3, the hurricane center said.

Previous presidents, too, have attempted to make improvements to America’s law enforcement system, but Biden faced particular pressure to find the right balance. Not only did law enforcement groups dislike various parts of the draft, they felt like the administration hadn’t adequately listened to their perspective. Senior administration officials described a sort of shuttle diplomacy, and they met separately with civil rights advocates and law enforcement groups while trying to keep everyone on the same page. However, the executive order requires federal law enforcement officers to prioritize de-escalation and then intervention if they see another officer using excessive force. As an executive order, the new policies are limited to federal agencies.

May 30 (Reuters) - New Zealand's a2 Milk Company said on Monday it had submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to supply infant milk formula after Australian peer Bubs received the health agency's clearance last week. The crisis was triggered when Abbott Laboratories, the biggest U.S. supplier of powder infant formula including Similac, in February recalled dozens of products after reports of serious bacterial infections in four infants. Bubs Australia plans to ship at least 1.25 million cans of its baby formula to the United States, the FDA said on Friday. Shares in a2 Milk soared as much as 13%, and were set for their best session since February, while Bubs Australia shot up 42.1% at A$0.0.69 in afternoon trade.

CONCORD, N.C. — Sunday night‘s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway started with Denny Hamlin out front and ended with Denny Hamlin out front. With the victory — the second this season and the 48th of his career — Hamlin now holds trophies in all three of NASCAR‘s crown-jewel races: the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500. RELATED: Unofficial results | At-track photosHamlin‘s victory spoiled what could have been one of the most astonishing comebacks in racing history. Here‘s a microcosm: The first lap ended in a dead heat, with Kurt Busch nosing ahead of Hamlin by less than one thousandth of a second. Racing side-by-side with Hamlin, Busch extended his lead to 0.004 seconds on Lap 2 — roughly six inches.

Canada has provided Ukraine with M777 towed howitzers, which fire 155-millimetre shells. Last week Defence Minister Anita Anand announced Canada would be sending an additional 20,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition, sourced from the United States. "We are actively pursuing a plan to provide 100,000 rounds to Canada," the official told SBS. South Korea is a major manufacturer of 155mm ammunition, with its K9 self-propelled howitzer dominating the international market. South Korea has provided humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and has shipped non-lethal items including bulletproof helmets and medical kits.

The Twins got some decent news about Royce Lewis’ knee injury on Sunday night but the rookie infielder/outfielder will be placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday with a bone bruise in his right knee. That’s much better than some of the alternatives, especially when it’s the same knee Lewis had surgically repaired last spring. A Twins spokesman said Sunday night that Lewis has a bone bruise in the knee, which will be evaluated again after swelling subsides. In his last seven games in St. Paul, Lewis hit .304 with a home run and five RBIs. Before Sunday’s game, Falvey and Baldelli talked about Lewis staying with the big league club for the rest of the season.

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — President Joe Biden grieved with the shattered community of Uvalde on Sunday, mourning privately for three hours with anguished families of the 19 schoolchildren and two teachers killed by a gunman. After visiting the memorial, Biden attended Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where several victims’ families are members, and one of the families was in attendance. Biden later tweeted that he grieves, prays and stands with the people of Uvalde. The visit to Uvalde was Biden’s second trip in as many weeks to console a community in loss after a mass shooting. Hours after the shooting, Biden delivered an impassioned plea for additional gun control legislation, asking: “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?

They may also want to consider whether they’re taking full advantage of an often-marginalized, but willing and able, segment of the U.S. labor force — older workers. Older workers, classified as those age 40 and over by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, make up a significant portion of the U.S. labor force. Roughly 43% of the labor force in 2020 was above 44, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with over 23% older than 54. Older workers span many different types of occupations and professions including sales, management, service, transportation, construction, maintenance and more. Edward Bolognini, executive director of ReServe, a New York City-based organization that specializes in work opportunities for older adults, says that older workers have an emotional quotient that younger workers haven’t had an opportunity to develop.

There has been a series of leftist political victories in Latin America as people seek change at a time of dissatisfaction with the economic situation. Mexico elected a leftist president in 2018. Petro has promised to make significant adjustments to the economy, including tax reform, and to change how Colombia fights drug cartels and other armed groups. This was the second presidential election held since the government signed in 2016 a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC for its initials in Spanish. In a sign of the resistance to a leftist government, Gutierrez endorsed Hernández shortly after he failed to advance to the runoff.

The 44-year-old dreaded the day he knew would surely come, when the body of someone he was close to was brought in. Everything changed when Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, and Russian forces advancing from Belarus began bombarding the city. By 10 March Chernihiv was encircled by Russian forces, trapping its 150,000 inhabitants. “But never in such numbers.”Fenenko’s postmortem reports are being forwarded to prosecutors investigating alleged war crimes perpetrated by Russian forces in Ukraine. A fléchette – one of the small metal darts contained in Russian tank or field gun shells – found in a civilian’s body.

A suppressed report on the Windrush scandal has concluded that its origins lie in three decades of racist immigration legislation designed to reduce the UK’s non-white population. It found that the “deep-rooted racism of the Windrush scandal” had roots in the fact that “during the period 1950-1981, every single piece of immigration or citizenship legislation was designed at least in part to reduce the number of people with black or brown skin who were permitted to live and work in the UK”. The leaked copy of the government-commissioned paper, which the Home Office has repeatedly refused to make public, lists a few specific examples. Here are some of those considered among the most damaging:

The south-east is the homeland of the Igbo ethnic group, who are agitating to secede from the rest of Nigeria. Pro-Biafra militants have in turn killed scores of security and government officials, as well as civilians, in armed operations that have grown more frequent and daring. What began as pro-Biafra protest sit-ins by local people have gradually been widely and brutally enforced by militants at markets and commercial areas. His family say he was abducted from Kenya in an act of extraordinary rendition to face charges in Nigeria. The conflict, which failed to lead to an independent state of Biafra, is one of the darkest chapters in Nigerian history.

Negative views of Russia are largely confined to Europe and other liberal democracies. Positive views of Russia have been retained in China, Indonesia, Egypt, Vietnam, Algeria, Morocco, Malaysia, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The countries with a widely held most negative view of Russia included Poland (net negative 87%), Ukraine (80%), Portugal (79%), Italy (65%), UK (65%), Sweden (77%), US (62%) and Germany (62%). Even in Hungary – whose leader Viktor Orbán is an ally of Putin – a net 32% have a negative view of Russia. In Venezuela, often seen as propped up by Russia, the local population has a net negative view of Russia of 36%.

2m ago 06.27 Zelenskiy to address EU leaders at Brussels summitUkraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to address European Union leaders at an emergency summit later today to push for new sanctions against Russia. EU leaders will meet in Brussels to declare their continued support for Ukraine but have so far failed to agree on a new sanctions package against Moscow. After Russia’s attack on Ukraine, we saw what can happen when Europe stands united. With a view to the summit tomorrow, let’s hope it continues like this. However, the decision will be only made later, after the European Commission makes a proposal on how to raise the money.

It would be transported 15 miles from his village of Velykyi Dalnyk to Odesa, Ukraine’s biggest commercial port. Ukraine’s grain helped feed an estimated 400 million people. The sole reason for shortages, rising prices, and threat of hunger is the Russian military physically blocking 22 million tons of Ukrainian food exports in our seaports. One small-scale solution is to take the grain to the Ukrainian port of Izmail on the Danube river. “What can be said for sure is that the Russians are transporting food and grain from the Kherson region.

Since 2010 it has manufactured Elon Musk’s electric cars, having started life in 1962 producing Chevrolet El Caminos. Now it faces another shift as carmakers such as Mercedes and Volkswagen rush to push luxury car lines that reaped in extravagant profits through the pandemic. Having benefited from the surge in global stock markets and more savings amid lockdowns, a growing pool of wealthy buyers treated themselves to high-end cars. In the short term, the move is a good idea, says Professor Andrew Graves at the University of Bath, “but in the medium to long term, of course, there is no hiding place upmarket”. In 2021, Britain made the fewest new cars since 1956, with less than 860,000 models rolled off production lines.

Six million homes could face blackouts this winter due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, ministers have been warned.

The EU gets about 40pc of its gas from Russia but is trying to cut its reliance.

As they waited alongside others like them, in the bitter cold, to be bussed to their training centre, they looked like young lads off to a festival or a camping trip, except for the old Kalashnikovs they had just been issued. Witnessing 18- and 19-year-olds, full of the invincible sense that young men have, going to war in Europe, just as they had during the blood-soaked years of the 20th Century was moving, depressing, and alarming.

Drivers are being warned to expect long delays over the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday weekend as nearly 20 million getaway journeys are planned. A survey of 1,460 drivers' travel plans added that Friday is likely to be the most congested day on the roads as day-trippers combine with families returning home from half-term breaks. Some 37% of respondents to a separate RAC poll said they will not be driving long distances over the weekend.

Ministers have been warned of potential power cuts to as many as six million households this winter, according to reports. Government modelling of a "reasonable" worst-case scenario predicts major gas shortages in winter if Russia cuts off more supplies to the EU, The Times says. Worse modelling is reported for a scenario in which Russia cuts off all supplies to the EU. Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has approached the owners of Britain's coal-fired power stations in Drax, Ratcliffe and West Burton to delay their planned closures in September. "While there is no shortage of supply, we may need to make our remaining coal-fired power stations available to provide additional back-up electricity this coming winter if needed.

Germany’s government and conservative opposition have agreed to a deal that will release €100 billion ($107 billion) to modernize the army in the face of the Russian threat — a move that is likely to reverberate as far away as Japan. An agreement was reached late Sunday to create a special fund for military procurement that will also allow Berlin to meet NATO’s target of spending 2% of gross domestic product on defense. Three days after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged a special budget of €100 billion to rearm the German military and modernize its outdated equipment over the next few years. The €100 billion will be paid into a special fund outside the national budget. The unexpected and dramatic rethink by Germany comes as leaders in Japan debate doubling their country’s defense budget to 2% of GDP, from an informal cap of around 1%.

A Ukrainian MP visiting Britain has urged the west to supply long-range rockets to her country – and warned without further military help her country risked deadlock or defeat in its war against Russia. “One bad outcome is that this war becomes a stalemate, like a long-term frozen conflict,” Rudik said in an interview with the Guardian. “We need to let our soldiers on the front fight better and for that we need MLRS systems, longer-range systems,” Rudik said. That has prompted warnings from Moscow that a US decision to supply the systems would “cross a red line”.

(CNN) — Faster, cleaner, greener and packed with advanced technology; rail is the only transport mode currently well placed to provide the backbone of our future mobility needs. All of this makes it seem an unlikely time to be talking about a "golden era" for rail travel. The 270-mile railway between Lhasa and Nyingchi entered into service on June 25, giving all regions in mainland China access to high-speed train travel. Meanwhile, awareness of the environmental damage caused by air travel has already led to a renaissance for overnight rail travel in Europe.

Chris Buescher's NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 ended early in dramatic fashion on Sunday night. Suarez was then hit by Todd Gilliland and spun hard into Buescher, their two cars sliding into the infield. As Buescher went spinning along the infield turf, his right front suspension collapsed and caused the car to flip and roll four times before ending up on its roof. Emergency crews had to use a tow truck and strap to flip the car over before Buescher was able to get out, largely unharmed despite the severity of the crash. Pole-sitter Denny Hamlin found himself in first position for the second overtime restart and was able to hold off his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Kyle Busch, for the win.

An 18-month-old was fatally struck in a drive-by shooting that did not intentionally target the boy, Pittsburgh police said Sunday. The afternoon attack in near-80 degree weather in downtown Pittsburgh unnerved city officials, who vowed to make an arrest in the case.

China reports daily new cases in the hundreds compared with many Western nations which report tens of thousands of new COVID cases each day. Shanghai, Beijing and other cities in China have made significant progress in bringing daily caseloads lower, but uncertainty remains high, as the highly-transmissible Omicron variant is prone to making comebacks. Goldman Sachs economists said they could discuss China's zero COVID policy in only one out of more than 10 recent meetings with clients in Beijing, "potentially due to its political sensitivity". read moreShanghai reported fewer than 100 new COVID cases for May 29, while Beijing recorded 12.

A group of mountaineers wait to board a flight as they head to search and rescue of a plane operated by Tara Air that went missing on Sunday with 22 people on board, while on its way to Jomsom, in Kathmandu, Nepal May 29, 2022. REUTERS/Navesh ChitrakarKATHMANDU, May 30 (Reuters) - Nepal's army said on Monday it had located the crash site of a plane that went missing with 22 people on board during cloudy weather on Sunday. loadingFour Indians, two Germans and 16 Nepalis were on board the plane, a De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter operated by privately owned Tara Air, according to the airline and government officials.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala,) is absolutely opposed to any new restrictions on guns — even regarding military-style assault weapons — because we need them to “take back” our government, he explained on Fox News Sunday. Such action should only be undertaken in the event America becomes “dictatorial,” Brooks told host Sandra Smith. The lawmaker highlighted that slippery slope when he immediately went at it with Smith, and angrily defended his fantasy of a rigged election. Smith pointed out “on the record” that there is still “no evidence or proof provided” of a rigged election. That is absolutely false,” said Brooks, before Smith corrected him yet again.

A leftist will face a businessman as Colombia's presidential race heads to a runoffEnlarge this image toggle caption Fernando Vergara/AP Fernando Vergara/APBOGOTA, Colombia — In a blow to Colombia's political class, a leftist former rebel and a populist businessman took the top two spots in the country's presidential election Sunday and headed to a runoff showdown in June. No matter who wins June 19, the South American country long governed by conservatives or moderates will see a dramatic shift in presidential politics. Petro has promised to make significant adjustments to the economy, including tax reform, and to change how Colombia fights drug cartels and other armed groups. There has been a series of leftist political victories in Latin America as people seek change at a time of dissatisfaction with the economic situation.

(Bloomberg) -- Hedge funds are doubling down on bearish Treasuries bets just as traditional money managers grow more positive in anticipation that the worst of the global debt selloff is over. Asset managers -- including pension funds, insurers and mutual funds -- ramped up long positions to the highest since April 2020, based on similarly adjusted data. “Many asset managers buy when they see value in the medium to long term, whereas hedge funds try to profit from any moves in the market,” said Akira Takei, global fixed-income money manager in Tokyo at Asset Management One Co., which oversees the equivalent of $524 billion. JPMorgan Asset Management and Morgan Stanley are among those predicting the worst of the Treasury rout looks to be over. “We’ve come back to mid-range in many asset classes including Treasuries, reflecting the fact that views are mixed.”Most Read from Bloomberg Businessweek©2022 Bloomberg L.P.

This is the case even after just two Fed rate increases that have left the fed-funds rate target between 0.75% and 1%. Friday’s reading on the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, known as the personal-consumption expenditures price index, showed price pressures easing in April. However, investors have seen a “head fake” before, when one seemingly soft inflation number overshadowed the bigger dynamic of still rapidly rising costs. Recent financial market volatility offers some guidance as to how quickly investors are willing to brush aside even positive economic data in a higher inflation environment. Thursday’s data releases include Automatic Data Processing’s private sector employment report for May, weekly initial jobless claims, and revisions to first-quarter productivity and unit labor costs.

On June 4 in Melbourne, Australia, George Kambosos Jr. and Devin Haney will fight for the undisputed lightweight title. But no matter who wins, the identity of the world’s best lightweight will be very much in dispute. Vasiliy Lomachenko won the WBC lightweight title in the ring, as well as the WBA and WBO belts. But in an interview with reporters days before the fight, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said the Lomachenko-Lopez winner would be the WBC champion. But Davis has improved so much that it appears right now to be a mismatch in Davis’ favor.

Rolando Romero pushed for a second fight after Davis knocked him out with a single punch in the sixth round Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, insisting he was in control of the fight before that moment. If it was a good fight leading up to the knockout … like down the line, [in the] ninth or 10th round someone got caught with a good shot. I don’t think we need a rematch.”What about Romero’s contention that he was winning the fight? Two judges had Davis winning after five rounds (49-46 and 48-47) while one had Romero ahead (48-47). Boxing Junkie also had Davis leading 48-47, three rounds to two.

However, the slower expansion still indicates growth will be strong enough for the economy to recover to its pre-coronavirus pandemic levels of end-2019 this quarter, about 70% of poll respondents said. A slowdown in Chinese economic growth was the most-frequently cited issue posing a risk to Japan's economy in the latter half of the year, the poll showed. But none cited a persistently weaker yen as the biggest risk to the economy in the second half of the year. The economy will grow 2.3% this fiscal year, followed by an estimated 1.5% growth in fiscal 2023. Both forecasts showed analysts expected growth to come in slightly weaker than what they expected in last month's poll.

Rolando Romero spoke almost as if he kicked Gervonta Davis’ ass. “I won every moment of that fight, I exposed him. … I exposed his ass, and everyone in this room knows it.”And: “I had him running like a b—- the entire fight. “He got hurt multiple times throughout the fight,” Romero said. All he would do is hold me and hold me and hold me.

That Max Strus 3-pointer that cut their deficit to 56-54 early on the third quarter? In a 100-96 Boston Celtics win that came down to the wire, those three points loomed large in the end. Strus 3-pointer counts ... and then it doesn'tNearly three minutes after Miami registered three points early in the second half, the NBA took them off the board. Strus took a pass from Kyle Lowry on the wing, pump-faked Robert Williams and stepped back and to the side for a 3-pointer from the left corner.

He was among several high profile Republicans who decried demands for new gun control laws at the opening day of three-day event, calling instead for drastic changes in the country’s approach to mental health and for teachers to be trained to carry a gun on school grounds. "We, the NRA, will never ever stop fighting for the right of the innocent and the law-abiding to defend themselves against the evil, criminal element that plagues our society." Outside the convention centre, about 500 protesters held signs and photos of victims from Tuesday’s school shooting.

But the NRA's decision to go ahead with its largest annual gathering despite the tragedies is part of a decades-long strategy of standing up to pressure for gun control, dating back to the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado in 1999.

Not everyone caught what was happening in the stunt by the Good Liars, aka progressive pranksters Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler.

The vote of confidence came ahead of a vote by the NRA board on Monday on whether to renew LaPierre as executive vice president, which he is expected to win. "The NRA family is in mourning with the people of Uvalde and Texas," LaPierre, who is also the group's chief executive, said in a statement.

MIAMI — Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka offered that the Celtics “need to take the harder route at times.”That’s a truth. After a wasting an opportunity to finish off the Miami Heat at home in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Celtics blew a 17-point second quarter lead and gave the worn-down Heat a glimmer of hope. This time, the Celtics finished the job, holding off Miami and Jimmy Butler with a 100-96 victory in Game 7 on Sunday.

"Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all." So sang the late, great Whitney Houston in her 1986 hit, The Greatest Love of All. In 2022, that mantra captures the mood of the moment.

The U.S. Justice Department said on Sunday that it will review the law enforcement response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, at the request of its mayor, Don McLaughlin. “The goal of the review is to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day, and to identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare for and respond to active shooter events,” the Justice Department said in a statement. Law enforcement agencies in Uvalde have faced withering criticism from parents and community leaders as it became clear that they did not intervene quickly to stop a teen gunman from murdering 21 people, including 19 children. Although officers from the local Uvalde police, the county sheriff’s department and the federal Border Patrol arrived at Robb Elementary School soon after a gunman arrived with the intent of murdering students and teachers, they were ordered not to storm the classrooms.

Kevin Morris’ map of thoughts about Biden’s laptop that he has shared with confidants. A third laptop belonging to Hunter was stolen by Russian drug dealers in August 2018, during a bender in Las Vegas, according to Hunter, who recorded himself telling the tale in a video on the Mac Isaac laptop. In other words, these videos are unique to the Mac Isaac laptop, confirming that it is not a clone of the earlier Ablow laptop. The publication date of the column corroborates the time stamp of the video, created 23 days after Hunter left his second laptop with Ablow. He even flew to Serbia with a film crew in November and infiltrated the set of “My Son Hunter,” an upcoming movie about Hunter’s ­laptop.

BOGOTÁ, Colombia — Two anti-establishment candidates, Gustavo Petro, a leftist, and Rodolfo Hernández, a right-wing populist, captured the top two spots in Colombia’s presidential election on Sunday, delivering a stunning blow to Colombia’s dominant conservative political class. The two men will compete in a runoff election on June 19 that is shaping up to be one of the most consequential in the country’s history. With more than 99 percent of the ballots counted on Sunday evening, Mr. Petro received more than 40 percent of the vote, while Mr. Hernández received just over 28 percent. Mr. Hernández beat by more than four percentage points the conservative establishment candidate, Federico Gutiérrez, who had been polling in second place. Mr. Hernández’s unexpected second-place victory shows a nation hungry to elect anyone who is not represented by the country’s mainstream conservative leaders.

"If you're going to leave them after a few months, that's a total waste of money for them." There are plenty of factors that come into play when Kevin O'Leary is assessing a potential hire, but there's one "red flag" that he looks for before anything else: Candidates that are "bouncing all over the place." If you're going to leave [a company] after a few months, that's a total waste of money for them. O'Leary stresses that when you apply to a new job, you should be prepared to invest your time. Having a short stint at your previous job is equivalent to wiping out nearly five years of experience from your resume, the survey found.

A woman was dead, seven other people were injured, and a suspect was in custody after gunfire erupted early Sunday at an outdoor Memorial Day weekend festival, Oklahoma authorities said. The shooting in Taft, a town of about 250 in eastern Oklahoma, happened shortly after midnight, and law enforcement was already at the scene to provide security for the estimated 1,500 attendees of the annual event, said the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, or OSBI. The suspect was identified as Skyler Buckner, 26, who turned himself in after a warrant for his arrest was issued, the bureau said. It's not clear what evidence led authorities to the man, and it wasn't yet apparent whether he had legal representation. "I am grateful for @OSBI_OK‘s swift response to assist local police and am confident in Oklahoma law enforcement’s ability to bring justice to whoever is responsible for this deadly incident," Oklahoma Gov.

But with the ever-volatile situation, new sanctions arriving regularly and the war battering its way into a fourth month, uncertainty reigns. Many Cypriot companies working with Russians have shut down and some ex-pat Russians are eyeing a move off the island. “It was never a static city, but was a port city, an open city, a city that was constantly receiving influences from the outside world.”Back in the 1980s, when conflicts erupted in the Middle East, Lebanese businessmen flocked to the Mediterranean island. Before the war, Russians accounted for 25 percent of total arrivals in Cyprus, with the most affluent spending their summers in Limassol and Paphos. At a minimum, they wish the bloc would allow Russians to pay debts to Cypriot companies for services offered before the sanctions came down.

The unanimity rule has long been a familiar punching bag for those who want to see the EU transform into a “strategic” actor in international affairs. Contrary to common wisdom, abandoning unanimity would leave the EU worse off as a foreign policy actor. Indeed, in an EU without unanimity, decisions could be reached more quickly. The need to convince everyone else in the EU forces members to articulate their national positions in terms that others can identify with, and this unique deliberative character of EU foreign policy has allowed diverging national interests and priorities to be amalgamated in a single inclusive foreign policy identity. If decisions were up to votes and bargains, EU foreign policy could lose its moral compass.

The findings beg a much larger question of whether households around the world should move to potentially safer, and more efficient, electric induction stoves. Stanford earth system sciences professor Rob Jackson and his team at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment are helping change this understanding with their January gas stove study—the first to analyze this issue. Just using one gas stove for a year emits on average 649 grams of methane—equivalent to the number of emissions released from driving 40 miles. Like electric stoves, induction stoves plug into an electrical source but they differ in how that heat is created. Until then, always turn on the hood vent or fan and open nearby windows when operating a natural gas stove.

By Stephen WrightWELLINGTON, New Zealand--New Zealand's two main supermarket operators will be required to open their wholesale businesses to rivals to reduce grocery prices, the government said Monday, as part of its response to decades-high inflation. New Zealand's competition regulator earlier this year recommended changes to the grocery industry to increase competition, including easier access to land for potential rivals to build new supermarkets. The regulator envisaged voluntary access to supermarkets' wholesale arms, but the government on Monday said stronger action is needed in that area. "If supermarkets do not strike good-faith wholesale deals with their competitors, our regulatory measures will make it happen for them," a government statement said. Ownership of most of New Zealand's supermarkets is divided between Australia's Woolworths Group Ltd. and franchise arrangements under the Foodstuffs cooperatives.

Naval Academy graduation and commissioning ceremony in Annapolis(Reuters) - Shares in Bubs Australia surged on Monday after U.S. health authorities approved imports of its infant formula to help address a severe shortage and U.S. President Joe Biden tweeted "the good news". Bubs plans to ship at least 1.25 million cans of its baby formula and has 500,000 tins ready for immediate export. It shares were up 40% or 19 cents at A$0.68 in early afternoon trade, valuing the company at A$417 million ($300 million).

China aims to have COVID testing facilities within 15-minutes' walk of everyone in its big cities and continues to impose mass testing at the slightest sign of an outbreak. The government is footing the bill for the vast majority of this, either by buying test kits or paying companies to do tests. First-quarter profit more than doubled for Hangzhou-based Dian Diagnostics Group Co Ltd, one of China's biggest medical test makers. Its revenue jumped more than 60% to $690 million, just less than half of which was for its COVID testing services, almost entirely paid for by the government. The urgent need for hundreds of new hospitals, to take the strain off China's already-stretched medical infrastructure, has created a boom for some construction companies.

May 30 (Reuters) - China Foreign Minister Wang Yi holds a meeting with counterparts from 10 Pacific island nations in Fiji on Monday, midway through a diplomatic tour of the region where China's ambitions for wider security ties has caused concern among U.S. allies. Pacific island nations with diplomatic ties with China are attending the meeting, hosted by Wang, who earlier met with Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama. In several Pacific countries, the foreign minister is also prime minister. Some Pacific islands have in recent days signed on to some of the individual security components that China is seeking in the regional agreement, statements released by the governments and China show. In Honiara last week, Wang condemned interference in the deal and said the Solomon Islands' relationship with China was a model for other Pacific island nations.

BEIJING (AP) — China's foreign minister met with the leaders of Samoa on Saturday on the third stop of an island-hopping tour aimed at deepening China's ties with Pacific nations. Australia and the United States are closely watching the 10-day trip by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, fearful that China could be laying the groundwork for an eventual military presence in the region that would extend its reach farther into the Pacific. China says its development of economic and security ties with Pacific nations doesn't pose a threat to others. It described China as a key development partner for Samoa, providing infrastructure for health, education and government, human resource development, sports development and technical assistance in agriculture. In Fiji, Wang will host a meeting with Pacific islands' foreign ministers and hopes to win the endorsement of 10 Pacific nations for a sweeping agreement that would cover everything from security to fisheries.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's new government has had a positive response from Pacific island leaders to its diplomatic engagement, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, as he focuses on a region in which China is pushing its influence. "The response has been very positive," Albanese said in a television interview broadcast on Sunday, when asked about the reaction of Pacific leaders to his government's approach. The new Australian foreign minister, Penny Wong, headed to the Pacific on Thursday for her first foreign trip after the centre-left government was sworn in. China's foreign minister, Wang Yi, is also on a tour of the Pacific seeking a 10-nation deal on security and trade. Fiji's Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama said on Saturday he had a wonderful meeting with the Australian minister, who had earlier told the Pacific Islands Forum secretariat that Australia would listen to Pacific islands on climate change.

Several health agencies in the United States and Canada are investigating a hepatitis A outbreak potentially connected to organic strawberries purchased in March and April. The FDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, along with state and local partners, are investigating the infections, according to an announcement. Hepatitis A cases reported in California, Minnesota and Canada were traced back to people who purchased the organic strawberry brands, the FDA said. The strawberry-related outbreak comes amid a global pediatric hepatitis outbreak. The CDC has issued new guidance about testing for adenovirus in children as a possible reason for pediatric outbreak, but it remains unclear if the two are linked.

In February 2021, Macron named Ndiaye as the head of France’s immigration museum, with the aim of calming tensions around a highly inflammatory subject: colonial history. His previous education minister, Blanquer, had made the defense of France’s universalist model a cornerstone of his tenure, and inaugurated a think tank to combat woke concepts in French universities. Or has Macron had a change of heart on the question of French identity, it’s not clear,” said Bock-Côté.

By Sonali PaulMELBOURNE (Reuters) - Oil prices rose to two-month highs on Monday as traders waited to see if the European Union would reach an agreement on banning Russian oil ahead of a meeting on a sixth package of sanctions against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. "I don't think it would be a stretch to assume that speculators are positioning for a post-EU summit oil market bounce," said SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes. EU governments failed to agree on an embargo on Russian oil on Sunday, but will continue talks on a deal to ban seaborne deliveries of Russian oil while allowing deliveries by pipeline, ahead of the summit on Monday afternoon, officials said. If agreed, a deal would allow Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia to continue to receive their Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline for some time until alternative supplies can be arranged. The oil market was also on edge after Iran on Friday said its navy had seized two Greek oil tankers in retaliation over the confiscation of Iranian oil by the United States from a tanker held off the Greek coast.

But I do have a love for words and language, so I'm sure I know what the phrase "without merit" means. In light of the NFL's actions the past few months, Brian Flores' lawsuit sure seems to have merit. The Chiefs' Eric Bieniemy is one of the coaches who was chosen to attend — does Bieniemy really need lessons on leadership and face time with team owners? You'd think they all have someone in their ear saying that because of Flores' lawsuit they should do the bare minimum and go, but these are NFL team owners we're talking about. But the NFL said Flores' suit was without merit.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The first hurricane of the season formed off Mexico’s southern Pacific coast Sunday and rapidly gained power ahead of an expected strike along a stretch of tourist beaches and fishing towns as a major storm. In early evening Sunday, the recently formed hurricane had maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (175 kph) — just 1 mph under the threshold for a Category 3, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The center said Agatha could have winds of 120 mph (193 kph) when it makes landfall. The U.S. National Hurricane Center warned of dangerous costal flooding as well as large and destructive waves near where Agatha makes landfall. Because the storm’s current path would carry it over the narrow waist of Mexico’s isthmus, the hurricane center said there was a chance the storm’s remnants could reemerge over the Gulf of Mexico.

According to Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell, if he could choose one strength of an MLB team, he’d choose a strong starting rotation. A good starting rotation can save the bullpen and stabilize roles in high-leverage situations. The rest of the Reds’ rotation, especially Tyler Mahle and Hunter Greene, has made crucial adjustments in how they navigate the count. With injuries to Castillo and Minor and three rookie starters on the Opening Day roster, the Reds’ rotation hit a rough spot early in the season. As the Reds improved in May, the better starting rotation has been a difference-maker.

The origins of the Windrush scandal lay in 30 years of racist immigration legislation designed to reduce the UK’s non-white population, according to a leaked government report. It finds that the scandal was caused by a failure to recognise that changes to British immigration law over the past 70 years had a more negative impact on black people than on other racial and ethnic groups. “Major immigration legislation in 1962, 1968 and 1971 was designed to reduce the proportion of people living in the United Kingdom who did not have white skin.”It was not clear why officials were reluctant to release the document. After the scandal, ministers agreed to teach all 35,000 Home Office employees about Britain’s colonial history and the history of black Britons. The report, named “The Historical Roots of the Windrush Scandal”, focuses on the immigration legislation of the 20th century, rather than on more recent events, such as the effects of the hostile environment policies introduced by Theresa May when she was home secretary.

Actor Elijah Wood famously urinated in the fountain while in New Zealand filming the Lord of the Rings. Installed in October 1969, the fountain dumps an erratic stream of water through its buckets, slopping a large portion over the surrounding pavement as it descends. checks notes…)The bucket fountain is a well-loved part of Wellington’s heritage.

But we are an education office. We cannot allow students to face discrimination because they are confused about their gender identity. The ordinance is to prevent discrimination and ensure the right to education,” said the official, who specializes in human rights for students.The ordinance also allows for criticism and debate, he added, except to the extent it becomes hatred.Controversy around the student rights ordinance is not new. When the authoritative order was first enacted in Seoul a decade ago, it faced opposition from the Education Ministry alongside some teachers and conservative groups.Similar ordinances exist in other parts of the country, such as Gyeonggi Province and North Jeolla Province. Nearly 15 percent said they faced discrimination for having disabilities, showing that the ordinance of student rights has not eradicated discrimination in school.Measures like the student rights ordinance and an anti-discrimination law are crucial in sending the message to society of what discrimination is and why it is wrong, said Shim Ki-yong, a steering committee member of Dawoom.“When anti-discrimination measures are enacted, we will have judicial and political grounds for what is perceived as wrongful discrimination.

Carolyn Kaster via Associated PressBut scholars generally define Christian nationalism as going beyond policy debates and championing a fusion of American and Christian values, symbols and identity. Researchers say Christian nationalism is often also associated with mistrust of immigrants and Muslims. “There’s no room for compromise, so that is the threat to democracy.”In the book, Whitehead and co-author Samuel Perry measured rates of Christian nationalism by drawing on a 2017 Baylor University survey. Christian nationalism is emerging alongside and in some cases overlapping with other right-wing movements, such as the conspiratorial QAnon, white supremacy, and denialism over COVID-19 and the 2020 election. “I see Christian nationalism as the gasping, dying breath of the older generation in America that is afraid that Christians are going to be replaced,” she said.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Gleyber Torres tied his home run total from last season on Sunday, in 82 fewer games, even while dealing with a recent wrist issue. It was Torres’ second home run of the series, and fourth in the past week, despite getting treatment for a wrist issue. “Just something he’s treating and making sure he does maintenance work on it.”Gleyber Torres has been red-hot for the Yankees recently. Despite being one of the Yankees’ hottest hitters in the first month of the season, Anthony Rizzo has gone equally cold since. I think that’s one of the things that just happens with the ebb and flow of the season.

Specifically, can their excellent hitters possibly score enough runs to overcome the number of runs their terrible defenders let in? Philly’s vaunted lineup, led by defending NL MVP Bryce Harper, who is again putting up big numbers, is very good. The Phillies stand dead last in MLB in DRS (defensive runs saved) at negative-28 runs. Phillies manager Joe Girardi nodded that he’s as surprised as most to see his team fall so far behind the Mets so fast. They will find their level.”The Phillies have to hope this isn’t their level, because it’s a lot lower than anyone expected, including the tough crowd there.

BOGOTA, Colombia — In a blow to Colombia’s political class, a leftist former rebel and a populist businessman took the top two spots among the six candidates in the country’s presidential election Sunday and headed to a runoff showdown in June. A candidate needed 50% of the total votes to win outright and the run-off election. Chile, Peru and Honduras elected leftist presidents in 2021, and in Brazil, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is leading the polls for this year’s presidential election. He was once a rebel with the now-defunct M-19 movement and was granted amnesty after being jailed for his involvement with the group. In addition to economic challenges, Colombia’s next president will also have to face a complex security issue and corruption, which is a top concern of voters.

Front-month futures prices for gas delivered at Henry Hub in Louisiana have climbed to around $9 per million British thermal units, up from $3 at the same point a year ago. In real terms, front-month prices are in the 86th percentile for all months since 1990, signalling the need for significant steps to relieve the gas shortage. Last week, working stocks in underground storage were 348 billion cubic feet (16%) below the pre-pandemic five-year seasonal average (“Weekly natural gas storage report”, Energy Information Administration, May 26). Increased drilling should ensure gas production continues increasing throughout the rest of this year and into the first quarter of 2023.

At a Singapore construction site, a four-legged robot called "Spot", built by U.S. company Boston Dynamics, scans sections of mud and gravel to check on work progress, with data fed back to construction company Gammon's control room. Gammon's general manager, Michael O'Connell, said using Spot required only one human employee instead of the two previously needed to do the job manually. Meanwhile, Singapore's National Library has introduced two shelf-reading robots that can scan labels on 100,000 books, or about 30 percent of its collection, per day.

"After Russia's attack on Ukraine, we saw what can happen when Europe stands united. But it is already starting to crumble and crumble again," German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Sunday. But even there, the decision will be only made later, after the European Commission makes a proposal on how to raise the money. Story continuesThe draft summit conclusions showed EU leaders will back the creation of an international fund to rebuild Ukraine after the war, with no details, and want to look into the possibility of confiscating frozen Russian assets for that purpose. The leaders will pledge to accelerate work to help Ukraine move its grain out of the country to global buyers via rail and truck as the Russian navy is blocking the usual sea routes and to take steps to faster become independent of Russian energy.

The family of the late legendary musician Isaac Hayes has posted an angry tweet lashing former President Donald Trump’s use of one of Hayes’s songs at his controversial speech Friday at the National Rifle Association convention. “The estate and family of Isaac Hayes DID NOT approve and would NEVER approve the use of ‘Hold On I’m Coming’ ... by Donald Trump at this weekend’s NRA convention,” said the tweet. Our condolences go out to the victims and families of #Uvalde and mass shooting victims everywhere. Trump then mangled the pronunciation of a list of the victims’ names, which he read interspersed with cheesy funeral toll sounds. The lyrics — including “Just hold on, I’m coming” — sounded suspiciously like a preening campaign song, shockingly inappropriate before the dead children of Uvalde had even been buried.

President Joe Biden grieved with the shattered community of Uvalde on Sunday, mourning privately for three hours with anguished families of the 19 schoolchildren and two teachers killed by a gunman. Faced with chants of “do something” as he departed a church service, Biden pledged: “We will.”At Robb Elementary School, Biden visited a memorial of 21 white crosses — one for each of those killed — and first lady Jill Biden added a bouquet of white flowers to those already placed in front of the school sign. The couple then viewed individual altars erected in memory of each student, the first lady touching the children’s photos as they moved along the row.

We’ve won two games there and we carry on the road well, carry our defense, carry our game and don’t really get phased by that.

Korea would see the number jump to 51 percent this year, if their earnings continue falling and interest rates jump 2 percentage points on-year. Analysts said the Korean central bank could lift the rate up to 2.75 percent by the year-end, a 1.75 percentage point jump from 1 percent as of end-2021. Four out of 10 self-employed people were subject to higher debt servicing costs by taking out loans from nonbanking institutions, according to the agency. It was the first time the target was set at a 4 percent range since July 2011, when the central bank projected 4 percent. Morgan Stanley said the BOK would back three more rate raises -- all by 25 basis points -- to fix the rate at 2.5 percent by 2022.

The complaints have been filed with the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors Office for alleged fraud.

(Bloomberg)Behind South Korea’s rapid industrial growth was a military-like corporate culture that united workforces for a shared goal: the company’s success and my family’s well-being. The mantra “your company is your family” propelled the tremendous drive toward economic prosperity, but also validated the tough corporate culture and hierarchy. “While there are criticisms that remote work hinders performance, I have had no problem with my performance so far,” she added.

This photo, taken on May 17, 2022, shows Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup speaking during a parliamentary session at the National Assembly in Seoul. (Yonhap)South Korea's defense ministry has distributed troop education materials that refer to North Korea's military and its regime as "our enemy," officials said Monday, in a reflection of the conservative Yoon Suk-yeol administration's tough security stance. "North Korea's provocations are security threats facing us, and as long as such security threats continue, the North's military and its regime are our enemy," the materials for "military spirit education" read. The military distributed the materials on May 9, days after Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup told a parliamentary confirmation hearing that the North is an "evident" enemy, given its nuclear and missile threats. The ministry is known to be soliciting public opinion about the idea of reviving the reference to the North as an enemy in its defense white paper.

This photo taken on Sunday, shows a board displaying fuel prices at a gas station in Seoul. (Yonhap)The government will provide more subsidies to cargo truck drivers and others using diesel vehicles as part of efforts to ease their burden from rising fuel costs, the transport ministry said Monday. A lower base price means more subsidies, as since May the government has offered half of the amount as a subsidy that exceeds the threshold price from the diesel price.

The government will cut value-added taxes on imports of coffee and cocoa beans until 2023 in a bid to help ease their import costs. Demand-pull price pressure also rose due to the economic recovery. The finance ministry said its latest measures centered on easing upward pressure on import costs, rather than imposing price control. It expected the removal of import duties on pork will help drive down their import prices by 20 percent.

A special inspector is required to report the start of an investigation and its findings to the president.

Electricity produced from renewable energy sources came to 43,085 gigawatt hours last year, accounting for 7.5 percent of the country's total power generation, according to the state-run Korea Electric Power Corp. The volume of power generated from solar power, wind power and other renewable energy sources was also up 3.5 times from 10 years earlier. The ratio for nuclear power plants also declined to 27.4 percent from 31.1 percent due to the previous government's policy to cut back on nuclear power generation. As of the end of December, the power generation capacity of renewable energy sources amounted to 24,855 megawatts, 6.9 percent higher than that for the country's nuclear power plants. It was the first time for renewable energy sources to overtake nuclear power plants in terms of capacity.

There's a rule in the New England energy system that nobody likes. Even ISO New England, the grid operator that designed the rule, agrees it needs to go. The grid operator also runs a separate market that pays energy producers to be “on call” in the future. But for the most part, politicians, environmentalists and others in the New England energy world say that it isn’t compatible with the states’ clean energy plans. We know every offshore wind project that has been procured,” said Abigail Krich, an energy market expert and president of Boreas Renewables.

The pinnacle of that effort came over the weekend, when Mr. McConnell traveled to Kyiv, Ukraine, Stockholm and Helsinki, Finland, in what he said was partly a bid to push back on former President Donald J. Trump’s hostility toward NATO and the aid legislation itself. When Mr. Trump announced his opposition to the $40 billion package, Mr. McConnell said, he worried that he “could lose a lot more than 11” Republican votes. The trip was designed “to convey to the Europeans that skepticism about NATO itself, expressed by the previous president, was not the view of Republicans in the Senate,” Mr. McConnell said in an interview. “And I also was trying to minimize the vote against the package in my own party.”“We have a sort of an isolationist wing,” he continued. “There’s no doubt $40 billion is a large number, and although much of that spending is important — in fact, some of it is acutely needed in the military conflict — I would have preferred a significantly smaller and more focused bill,” Mr. Cruz said.

“We don’t want to take away the rights of law-abiding citizens,” said Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, the No. The epidemic of mass shootings has prompted Democrats to change course, and now even Democrats from red states, such as Jon Tester of Montana, have embraced background checks. But as Republican voters have become more conservative, Republican lawmakers have dug in deeply against any notion that new strictures on gun purchases are an antidote to mass shootings. They say that such restrictions are unconstitutional, even though adult Americans would continue to have easy access to weapons purchases if they became law. Republicans like Mr. Cramer understand that they would receive little political reward for joining the push for laws to limit access to guns, including assault-style weapons.

“Would you support any changes, sir, to the current gun laws on the books?” Fox News anchor Sandra Smith asked. “Sir, the minimum age in your state to buy an AR-15, like the one the school shooter used in Uvalde, is 18 years old,” she noted. Gallup research does find that a majority of Americans—52 percent of them—are in favor of stricter gun laws when it comes to the sale of firearms. “There are many times when I went to school with a shotgun in my car. While former President Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-X) spoke, a number of other GOP politicians canceled their scheduled appearances.

Attorney General Merrick Garland warned about threats to democracy in the U.S. and abroad in a commencement speech at Harvard University on Sunday. Garland also urged the students, members of the 2020 and 2021 graduating classes, to devote some part of their lives to public service. "There is one particular reason that makes my call to public service especially urgent for your generation," he said. What he's saying: "You are the next generation that must devote yourselves to preserving our democracy and helping others protect theirs," Garland said. I know that our democracy will be stronger by the time it is your turn to pass the baton."

On Friday, benches cleared before the game when the Reds' Tommy Pham slapped the Giants' Joc Pederson in the face after a brief discussion in the outfield. And on top of that, Pham really took exception to a GIF that Pederson sent mocking the Padres' collapse back in September. Pham was so upset about the GIF that he slapped Pederson over it eight months later. But a combination of Pham being a terrible sport (and fantasy football player) had him steaming over that GIF for months. Baseball fans did appreciate that they finally got a close-up look at the infamous GIF.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The Rangers have rightfully been satisfied with a majority of their play in this second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Hurricanes. The better club will win this one, and the Rangers have maintained the belief that it could be them.

Sealed inside a plastic bag, a photograph of George Bellinger floated away from a rented motor boat and disappeared into the Pacific Ocean. Just like he did. Sixty-three years before his eldest son and a grandson he never met closed a chapter in family history by visiting Jaluit Atoll on a propeller plane in 2005, Navy Lt. George Bellinger was last seen above those waters as the leader of a bombing section during the raid on the Marshall Islands in World War II. Bellinger flew one of 28 planes that took off from the deck of the USS Yorktown and soared into the stormy early-morning darkness on Feb. 1, 1942, as part of America’s first major offensive after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Sweden and Finland of supporting terrorism on Saturday, indicating that Ankara likely won't let up its opposition to the Scandinavian countries joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Caribbean nation's government three years ago shut down the state-run refinery Petrotrin, which at the time had a capacity to process about 140,000 barrels per day of crude, due to losses of over $1 billion in the prior five years. "Quanten LLC is an American company that is engaged in the (request for proposal) process for the refinery," Young said in a statement. Trinidad and Tobago's government in early 2021 said Patriotic Energies, a subsidiary of a trade union which represents oil workers, could not provide any credible offer of financing for the refinery.

Voters in the South American country went to the polls amid a polarized environment and growing discontent over increasing inequality and inflation. Chile, Peru and Honduras elected leftist presidents in 2021, and in Brazil, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is leading the polls for this year’s presidential election. This was the second presidential election held since the government signed in 2016 a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC for its initials in Spanish. In addition to economic challenges, Colombia’s next president will also have to face a complex security issue and corruption, which is a top concern of voters.

Jed Lowrie singled home Cristian Pache with two out in the ninth inning Sunday as the Athletics avoided a four-game sweep with a 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers before a crowd of 8,342 at the Coliseum. Pache, who has been hitting under .200 for weeks, opened the ninth with a single to right against losing pitcher Brett Martin (0-4). Texas, hoping to reach .500, instead fell to 22-24 in a game in which the Rangers made five errors. It shouldn’t have been that close, considering the Rangers made five errors and the Athletics out-hit Texas 14-7. After Luis Barrera walked prompting the Rangers to remove starter Dane Dunning, Elvis Andrus doubled to left center to drive in the second run.

Some are wondering whether the MSG Sphere at The Venetian could be home to a National Basketball Association team. Cannon/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @KMCannonPhotoThe final beam is placed at the top of the MSG Sphere at The Venetian during a topping-out ceremony at the entertainment venue in Las Vegas Tuesday, May 24, 2022. Cannon/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @KMCannonPhotoIt’s easy to think of the MSG Sphere at The Venetian as a sports arena. Lucas Watson, president of the MSG Sphere, left a small opening for the building as a sports arena by saying it could host boxing, wrestling or mixed martial arts matches, or possibly esports tournaments. The latter seems most plausible with all of the technology the $1.9 billion MSG Sphere will offer when the doors open in late 2023.

The White Sox’ 5-4walk-off win in 12 innings against the Cubs wasn’t well played or executed but it was entertaining. The severity of the injury is unknown, but Anderson is going on the injured list. The Sox’ All-Star shortstop, .356 hitter, energy source and leader went down after making a throw from the outfield grass in the fifth inning. The Sox tied it in the 10th on Andrew Vaughn’s sacrifice fly and Jose Abreu’s single for his 808th RBI – tying him with Minnie Minoso for fifth on the Sox all-time list – and tied it in the 11th on Adam Engel’s RBI single. “We’re not nearly as good without him, but we’re going to have to be good enough to win,” La Russa said.

The good news for the Cubs in a 5-4 loss to the White Sox on Sunday: Marcus Stroman threw one of his best games of the season. “Stroman threw a hell of a game.”Stroman held the White Sox scoreless through seven innings, allowing three hits, all singles. Two innings before, White Sox infielder Danny Mendick’s sacrifice bunt attempt should have moved the go-ahead run to third base. White Sox slugger Gavin Sheets hit a double up the left field line. Finally, in the 12th inning, White Sox rookie Jake Burger hit a walkoff single into left field.

Realtor Trish Nash, who has served for years on the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, including as its chairwoman, agrees that public safety and education are priorities for the city. According to a background check the Review-Journal ran on all candidates, Nash was arrested for DUI in 2003, and pleaded guilty to reckless driving. Doug Perns, a retired Metro corrections officer, said public safety is his No. Steve Rice, a business and real estate attorney, also said public safety, including fire and emergency response, are the top issues he would support.

But first-year coach Josh McDaniels wants to make sure he is blazing his own trail in his second stint as an NFL head coach as opposed to following the blueprint of his former boss in New England. “I’m not Bill (Belichick), and I can’t be, so I’m not going to try,” McDaniels said last week after a practice during organized team activities. He spurned advances from other teams looking for a head coach before taking the Raiders’ job in January.

INDIANAPOLIS — Marcus Ericsson, once a Formula One backmarker, is now an IndyCar frontrunner. Ericsson became the second Swede to win the Indy 500 on Sunday when he held off some of the biggest names in North American auto racing in front of the largest crowd of his life. “Moved here, put my whole life into trying to become an IndyCar and mainly Indianapolis 500 champion. Ericsson is the first Swede to win the Indy 500 since Kenny Brack in 1999 and the second in 106 runnings of the race. Johnson finished 28th in his Indy 500 debut.

“Too many twists and turns in that game,” La Russa said. White Sox fans celebrate a 5-4 win over the Cubs in 12 innings at Guaranteed Rate Field on May 29, 2022. (John J.

If La Russa were anyone but La Russa, he would be on the hot seat for the lackluster first two months. Sox fans seemingly need a reason to believe in this team — and in the manager brought in to take them to the promised land.

Mimi Bilardello was ready to step up to the plate Saturday with two outs, two runners on and a chance to break the game open for the East Rockaway softball team. East Rockaway defeated No. 2 Oyster Bay, 9-5, in the clinching game of the best-of-three Nassau Class B championship series Sunday at Mitchel Athletic Complex. “It was a big hit and I was just very happy that I was able to help the team out any way I could.”Bilardello’s hit gave East Rockaway a 6-0 lead. “She really delivered,” East Rockaway coach Joe Lores said.

That is the take from both Rangers coach Gerard Gallant and counterpart Rod Brind’Amour heading into Monday night’s Game 7 at PNC Arena. Well, it falls on Gallant, a finalist for the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s top coach and a previous winner with Vegas in 2018, to solve the mystery. The Rangers won Saturday night’s Game 6 at Madison Square Garden by carrying play every bit as much as the Hurricanes did in Thursday night’s 3-1 win in Game 5. I think we’ve won one game on the road and both our teams have been good road teams all year long.”The Rangers enter Game 7 with a 1-5 road mark in these playoffs. “That was a huge game,” Gallant said.

But so have the Carolina Hurricanes. Rangers forward Andrew Copp, speaking at the Rangers’ media availability Sunday at the team hotel in Raleigh, N.C., said the Blueshirts have confidence going into the game. Carolina won Game 1, 2-1 in overtime, and Game 2, 2-0. Carolina won Game 5 in Raleigh, 3-1, to take a 3-2 lead in the series, before the Rangers tied it with a 5-2 victory in Game 6 at the Garden. Gallant is going to have to find some way of changing that if the Rangers are to win Game 7.

NEW YORK — Francisco Lindor has increasingly come through in the clutch for the Mets this season. In six straight games, since May 22, the Mets shortstop has logged at least one RBI, the longest such streak of his career. Lindor also touts an impressive 10 walks, two doubles, two triples, three home runs and two stolen bases in that 14-game span. The outfielder, who also was out Saturday, has been getting extra rest days to tend to his sprained right wrist. Nimmo was listed as available off the bench for Sunday’s game, as was Jeff McNeil, whom the Mets skipper pulled in the seventh inning Saturday.

Delta Air Lines canceled the most flights among major U.S. airlines, with more than 250 flights, or 9% of its operations, eliminated Saturday. One hundred and sixty Delta flights were canceled by Sunday evening, according to FlightAware. Saturday’s cancellations were due to bad weather and “air traffic control actions,” Atlanta-based Delta said in an email to The Associated Press, noting it’s trying to cancel flights at least 24 hours in advance of the Memorial Day weekend. Airlines and tourist destinations are anticipating huge crowds this summer as travel restrictions ease and pandemic fatigue overcomes lingering fear of contracting COVID-19 during travel. However, airlines have thousands fewer employees than they did in 2019, and that has, at times, contributed to widespread flight cancellations.

At Robb Elementary School, Biden stopped at a memorial of 21 white crosses — one for each of those killed — and the first lady added a bouquet of white flowers to a pile in front of the school sign. “Evil came to that elementary school classroom in Texas, to that grocery store in New York, to far too many places where innocents have died,” Biden said Saturday in a commencement address at the University of Delaware. We cannot outlaw tragedy, I know, but we can make America safer.”After visiting the memorial, Biden attended Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, where some victims’ families worship.

Gun reform is possible considering the scale of the recent tragedy in Texas, but unlikely under current Senate rules and pressure from the powerful gun lobby, said U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch. It may be difficult to get the 60 votes you need in order to end debate and take a vote,” Lynch said. Lynch joined WBZ’s Jon Keller on Sunday, where he was asked why no other recent attempt at gun law reform has worked. Lynch said that in the wake of another mass shooting, in South Carolina, his House colleagues offered several changes to federal law, such as preventing those on the no-fly list from purchasing, magazine-size restrictions and red-flag laws. According to Lynch, that means it’s time for some changes to that Senate rule.

Virginia legislative leaders on Sunday evening revealed budget language that would create a new criminal misdemeanor in state law for possession of more than four ounces of marijuana in public. The provision will be the third time this year that state lawmakers have considered creating new crimes for marijuana possession. The proposal comes within the proposal for a new two-year state budget - which became publicly available online Sunday evening. The General Assembly will convene Wednesday in special session to consider the budget. Because the General Assembly failed to complete work on a new budget and on certain bills during this year's regular session, the assembly remains in a special session.

During the state GOP convention in May, most members of the Laramie County delegation were refused seats over a rules violation, the Star-Tribune and WyoFile reported, but the party refused to take similar action when rules violations from other counties were revealed. Cheney and Kinzinger are the only two Republicans on the January 6 House committee. Trump, who has prided himself on his kingmaking abilities, has endorsed a number of candidates who have lost, as the former president would say, very badly, in primary contests. Most recently, while Herschel Walker, whom Trump backed, won the GOP nomination for Senate in Georgia, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp both handily defeated their Trump-backed rivals. Kemp and Raffensperger are the only two other Republicans in elected office who engender nearly as much fury as Cheney does in Trump.

Burns polished it off with a playoff win over his good friend Scheffler. Burns shared a house with the Texan at Augusta in April, when Scheffler won his maiden major title at the Masters. "I think just with the conditions today, how tough it was playing, just so proud with how we hung in there," Burns said. Scheffler started the day with a two-shot lead, but the world number one had two bogeys without a birdie in his two-over par 72.

Germany's centre-right opposition and ruling coalition with centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), Greens and pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) said they reached the required two-thirds majority to exempt the defense fund from a constitutional debt brake. According to sources familiar with the matter, the negotiations were led by FDP leader Christian Lindner, SPD's Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht, Greens leader Annalena Baerbock and the opposition's vice whip Mathias Middelberg. The money is to be used over several years to increase Germany's regular defense budget of around 50 billion euros and enable the country to meet the NATO target of spending 2% of its economic output on defense each year.

The United States has renewed its call for Yemen’s Houthis to release detained US embassy staff after the death of a retired employee of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) who was in the rebels’ custody. “We extend our condolences to his loved ones and call on the Houthis to end this injustice and release every single current and former US Embassy employee now,” the embassy said in a statement shared on Twitter. “We demand the Houthis release detained current and former US employees.”Washington had shut down its embassy in Yemen’s capital Sanaa in 2015 as the country’s civil war intensified.
