By Joe Inwood Published 1 hour ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Related Topics Russia-Ukraine war Once more, Russia advances. Once more, Ukraine pulls back. The fierce and protracted battle that had been predicted for Lysychansk was avoided, according to the regional governor, by a strategic withdrawal. Serhiy Haidai told me: "Russia currently has a huge advantage in artillery and ammunition. They would have simply destroyed it from a distance, so there was no point in staying." That does seem to tally with Russian accounts of the capture of the city, seemingly moving in unopposed. Videos posted on social media on Sunday show Chechen fighters dancing in the central districts. And well they might celebrate. The capture of Lysychansk means that Russia has essentially taken the entire Luhansk region, a key strategic aim of President Putin's invasion of … [Read more...] about Ukraine war: What is Putin’s plan now Luhansk has fallen?

A referee in the Malaysian Super League was forced to step in to hold back an angry goalkeeper who was left fuming by the celebrations of an opponent. Terengganu FC were hosting Sri Pahang at the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in their eighth game of the season. They had already gone a goal up just a minute in through Kpah Sherman as the game entered the final 10 minutes. Nafuzi Zain's side then won a penalty, with Faisal Abdul Halim stepping up to take the spot-kick. Sri Pahang keeper Mamadou Samassa held his arms in the arm in an attempt to put the forward off from scoring . But Halim put his penalty into the top left hand corner, with Samassa diving to his right as the ball flew into the net. The 24-year-old initially did a dance in the box to celebrate before he was mobbed by his team-mates. He wriggled free though and ran to the goal-line, taking up a position in the middle of the posts, as Samassa had done for the penalty. Halim then dived to his right, as Samassa … [Read more...] about Referee holds raging keeper back after goalscorer mocks his failure to save penalty

This story is from the team at thespinoff.co.nz Country Calendar is the last bastion of traditional New Zealand television, but last Sunday night something shocking happened. Sheep correspondent Tara Ward reports. After 56 years on our television screens, Country Calendar finally went rogue. On June 26, the placid documentary series that celebrates shearing and silage featured an episode filmed on Lake Hāwea Station in Central Otago. It followed a wealthy farming family who use unconventional methods to nurture and protect their stock and land, and it made farmers around the country steaming mad. Viewers turned against the top-rating series like never before, expressing their outrage on social media . This was the worst episode of Country Calendar they’d ever seen, they said. This wasn’t real farming, they argued. Some turned their televisions off in disgust, others accused the show of breaking their hearts. Over 1500 comments about the episode filled the Country … [Read more...] about What did Country Calendar do to make farmers so mad? An investigation into the Lake Hāwea station episode

Covid-19 case numbers are rising again, in part due to two Omicron subvariants – BA4 and BA5. These mutations, first found in South Africa in January and February 2022, were labelled as ‘variants of conern’ by the European Centre for Disease Prevention (ECDC) and Control in mid-May. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is now advising people to ensure they’ve had all their Covid-19 jabs , while experts are calling for a new, Omicron-specific vaccine to tackle another wave of the virus . Here’s what you need to know about BA4 and BA5. What are the symptoms of the BA4 and BA5 Covid variants? While these are new subvariants, nothing so far suggests BA4 or BA5 have any new symptoms. As always, the NHS says symptoms to watch out for are: A high temperature A new, continuous cough Shortness of breath Tiredness or exhaustion Headache Muscle aches all over the body Sore throat Blocked or runny nose Diarrhoea Nausea or vomiting A lack of … [Read more...] about Covid: BA4 and BA5 symptoms, infection rate, and vaccine efficiency

Vladimir Putin has declared victory in the eastern Ukrainian region of Luhansk, one day after troops defending it withdrew from the last remaining city in which they were holding out. It is just under two and a half months since Ukraine 's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Battle for Donbas - made up of the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk - had begun. Putin to switch focus after taking key city - live Ukraine updates How did we get here? In late April, Sky News spoke to experts who said it was expected that Russia would target villages outside Severodonetsk where Ukraine was mounting its defence. It was exactly what happened in the following weeks, as Russian forces bombarded Ukrainian positions and pushed the defenders back. It was believed that the Russians would find resistance tougher to overcome in the towns, as they got bogged down in urban warfare, but the assault on Severodonetsk showed how Moscow intended to achieve its aims. … [Read more...] about Ukraine war: What will happen in the Donbas now Luhansk has fallen to Russia?

We can only hope that, one day soon, Andrew Bailey will wake up and realise he is the Governor of the Bank of England . Yet based on his most recent remarks at the European Central Bank conference in Portugal this week, it’s still not clear Bailey is aware of the critical role he plays in shaping UK monetary policy. “The key thing for us is to bring inflation back down to target,” he announced to a room full of bankers. Yes, this is quite the “key”. In fact we’ve been desperate for the Bank to tackle inflation for many months now, so it’s refreshing to know this is an acknowledged priority. “That is what we will do,” Bailey pronounced in his follow up. Again, good news. How? When? Is there any plan of action, apart from the Bank’s governor talking about the UK economy as if the role he plays is a minor one, at best? If there’s any generous reading to be done of Bailey’s remarks, it was the not-so-subtle indication that the Bank is considering a 50 basis points jump in … [Read more...] about Britain is becoming Europe’s sick man again and needs stronger medicine now
