LIVE: KYIV UNDER ATTACK

Published

on

There are reports a large convoy of Russian troops and tanks is now heading towards Kyiv

Russian President Vladimir Putin is moving his nation’s nuclear deterrent to “special alert” citing Nato aggression as the reason why.

It’s not entirely certain what this entails, but it may be a “preliminary command” making a retaliatory strike possible.

It is an action that allows Russia’s command and control to be able to react if necessary, meaning it is a very high level of command.

NATO has labeled the move as dangerous and irresponsible.

‘Leave immediately’

The US State Department has issued an urgent warning to any American residents still in Russia.

The warning comes as an increasing number of airlines based in locations right around the world cancel flights to and from Russia, while countries impose strict sanctions on Russian-owned airlines.

In a statement, the US department says:

“An increasing number of airlines are canceling flights into and out of Russia, and numerous countries have closed their airspace to Russian airlines. US citizens should consider departing Russia immediately.”

Massive explosion

There has been a massive explosion to hit the area of Cherkasy in central Ukraine.

The huge blast was captured on camera.

FIFA cancels Russia

The UK’s Football Association has confirmed England will not play any matches against Russia “for the foreseeable future.”

In a statement, the FA says:

“Out of solidarity with Ukraine and to wholeheartedly condemn the atrocities being committed by the Russian leadership… we won’t play against Russia in any international fixtures”.

HERE’S WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS HOUR:

Russian President Vladimir Putin moves his nation’s nuclear deterrent to “special alert”

  • The US has condemned the move, labelling it as “unacceptable” while Putin says it is in response to Nato aggression.
  • Ukrainian troops remain in control of Kharkiv following a Russian attack
  • There are reports around 4,300 Russian troops have been killed so-far in battle.
  • Ukraine says 352 civilians, including 14 children, have been killed so-far as war engulfs the nation.
  • A Ukrainian delegation is set to meet with their Russian counterparts for talks at the Belarus border.
  • US ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield says Putin is ready to do whatever he can to intimidate Ukraine and the world…

Ukraine’s Deputy Interior Minister says talks between the two delegations will take place on Monday morning local time.

The scheduled meeting follows the office of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko calling the office of the Ukrainian president.

The politicians have agreed both delegations will convene “without preconditions on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, near the Pripyat River”.

In his latest video address, Zelensky says his country’s residents “will fight as long as it takes to liberate the county.”

Meanwhile, Western allies are preparing new sanctions against Russia for its military action in Ukraine

These include banishing key Russia banks from the main global payments system – SWIFT.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says Europe is also closing its airspace to all Russian planes.

Europe will also ban all Russian state-owned media including Russia Today, or R-T and Sputnik.

Von der Leyen says the new rules will apply to all Russian-owned planes, including the private jets of oligarchs.

The United Kingdom has also imposed similar restrictions.

This comes as Europe also moves to impose stringent sanctions on Russian ally, Belarus… with restrictive measures being placed against the nation’s most important sectors.

In a statement, the leaders of the EU, France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Canada and the US say they “will hold Russia to account and collectively ensure that this war is a strategic failure for Putin”.

In Short:
– One victim was accidentally shot by police during a synagogue attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur.
– The assailant, Jihad Al Shamie, used a vehicle and stabbing in the attack, later killed by police.
One of the victims in the recent terror attack at a UK synagogue was accidentally killed by police during efforts to subdue the attacker.
The incident occurred on Yom Kippur outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester, resulting in the deaths of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66.
The assailant, identified as Jihad Al Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, used his vehicle to strike pedestrians before launching a stabbing assault.Authorities revealed that police mistakenly shot one of the victims as they responded to the threat posed by Al Shamie, who was believed to be wearing a fake suicide vest.

Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson noted that the victims were likely attempting to prevent the attacker from entering the synagogue. Reports indicate that a third victim hospitalized also sustained gunshot wounds during the police response.

Jihad Al Shamie was killed by police approximately seven minutes after he began the attack.

The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, stated that the attacker was not previously known to authorities. Police continue to investigate whether Al Shamie acted alone or as part of a terrorist cell, with three individuals arrested in connection to the incident.

Family Statement

The family of the attacker has publicly condemned the violence, expressing shock and sorrow over the tragic events. They stated their intentions to distance themselves from the actions of Jihad Al Shamie and offered condolences to the victims and their families.

L.A.’s entertainment industry faces severe crisis as thousands of jobs vanish and creatives struggle to survive

In Short:
– Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a severe job decline, impacting many professionals like Brian Mainolfi.
– Proposed federal measures to revive local production have been insufficient, leaving the industry’s future uncertain.
Hollywood’s entertainment industry faces a significant downturn, with work evaporating and many creative professionals searching for new avenues to survive.

The industry has seen a sharp decline in jobs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Los Angeles County employment in motion picture production fell from 142,000 to 100,000 in two years due to reduced movie and TV productions.

Fewer projects are moving to Los Angeles because of high costs and a lack of tax incentives compared to other regions.

The impact on local businesses dependent on production workers has been severe, contributing to a broader economic challenge in the area.

Industry Decline

The absence of steady work has led some professionals to leave the industry entirely.

Many workers, including Thomas Curley, who won an Oscar for “Whiplash,” have struggled with the loss of purpose, and job scarcity remains pervasive.

Federal measures have been proposed, including a possible tax credit to stimulate local production, but efforts have thus far been insufficient.

With the continuing effects of recent strikes and a potential shift away from traditional content consumption, the outlook for Hollywood’s future remains uncertain.
