Amnesty International is accusing Russia of war crimes in the city of Kharkiv

They say cluster bombs have killed hundreds of civilians in the north-east of Ukraine.

In a newly-released report, Amnesty says “the repeated bombardments of residential neighbourhoods are indiscriminate attacks”.

Cluster bombs release dozens of grenades into mid-air, and scatters them over a large-scale area. The weapons are banned under UN conventions.

It comes as Russia continues to move in on the east with full force, using artillery bombardment to gain ground.

The attacks have claimed the life of a former British soldier. His family posted to social media saying he was a “true hero”

Meanwhile, Ukraine is establishing two routes through Poland and Romania to export grain to avert a global food crisis.

Two British men have also been denied pardon, after being sentenced to death by Russian forces in Ukraine.

The two men and a Moroccan were captured while fighting for the war-torn nation.

Britain has slammed the court’s decision demanding immunity for the prisoners of war.

Charlie Kirk united GOP grassroots through social media and activism, but his death raises questions about future leadership.

Charlie Kirk transformed the Republican grassroots movement by fusing social media reach with in-person activism, turning Turning Point USA into a cultural and political force.

His bold campus debates, viral online presence, and close alliance with Donald Trump energised young conservatives and boosted GOP turnout.

With his assassination, questions now loom over who can continue his unique blend of digital influence and grassroots organising.

Dollar steady ahead of Fed’s expected rate cut decision on Wednesday

In Short:
– The U.S. dollar stayed stable as investors await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut announcement.
– Asian equities rose, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index hitting a record high amid U.S. market gains.

The U.S. dollar remained stable on Monday as investors await the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting, where the central bank is expected to announce its first interest rate cut in nine months.

Trading volumes were low due to a holiday in Japan, causing currencies to remain rangebound.

Market participants have largely priced in a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate, anticipated to bring the key rate to between 4.00%-4.25%.

This marks the first easing action since December 2024.

Recent economic data indicates a cooling labour market, with jobless claims rising to the highest levels since 2021, overshadowing inflation concerns.
