Burnt cars lie in the street as civilians are evacuated from Pokrovsk, Ukraine, by police on June 19
Russia’s summer offensive is turning into an escalating crisis for Ukraine
POKROVSK, eastern Ukraine — The silent, moonless black is broken only by the whirr above of a Russian drone.Dmytro is yet to receive any patients at his tiny two-bed field hospital near Pokrovsk, and that is not a good outcome any more. Dawn begins to break – the twilight in which evacuation of the wounded from the front lines is safest – but still none arrive, and the enemy drones swirl incessantly above.“We have a very difficult situation with evacuation,” said Dmytro. “Many of the injured have to wait days. For Russian drone pilots, it is an honor for them when they kill medics and the injured.”This night, the frontline wounded do not arrive. The saturation of Moscow’s drone in the skies above – already palpable at this stabilization point 12 kilometers (7 miles) from...

LUANDA — At least 22 people have been killed and more than 1,200 arrested in violence that erupted during protests this week in Angola sparked by the government's decision to raise the price of fuel, the president's office said on Wednesday.Joao Lourenco's office released the death toll in an official statement and said that 197 people were also injured in the two days of violence that began on Monday and spread from the capital, Luanda, to at least six other provinces in the southern African nation.Earlier this month, the government said it was removing subsidies on diesel and raising the price by more than 30%.That prompted minibus taxis, a common method of transport for Angolans, to hike their prices by as much as 50%.Lourenco's office said dozens of shops were looted...

Flights resume from UK airports after air traffic control glitch closes airspace

Hawaiians cram roads away from coasts as tsunami waves arrive
LOS ANGELES — Many Hawaiians have heeded official advice to leave coastal areas, after a powerful earthquake thousands of miles away near Russia caused tsunami waves to reach the US state and other parts of the Pacific.Waves several feet high were recorded on the islands of Maui, Oahu and Hawaii on Tuesday evening, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said, urging people to take "urgent action" to protect lives and property.The centre later downgraded its tsunami warning for Hawaii to a tsunami advisory, though cautioned that flooding was still possible.Governor Josh Green struck a hopeful tone, saying he had yet to see a "wave of consequence" in the state.He had earlier advised people in low-lying areas to move to higher ground, and noted that that roads were getting...

YouTube to be included in Australia’s social media ban for children under 16
BRISBANE — Australia has picked a fight with the world’s largest video platform by backtracking on an earlier promise to exclude YouTube in its social media ban for children under 16.The Labor government said Wednesday the site, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, will be subject to the same rules as other leading platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and X – under legislation due to come into effect in December.The ban puts the onus on social media platforms to prevent children under 16 from having an account on their sites, or risk fines of nearly 50 million Australian dollars ($32 million).A YouTube spokesperson said the decision to include it in the ban “reverses a clear, public commitment” from the government to treat the site as an...

The Fukushima nuclear plant was the site of a triple disaster in 2011
Japan's Fukushima plant workers evacuate after tsunami warning
TOKYO — Workers at Japan's embattled Fukushima nuclear plant were evacuated earlier on Wednesday after tsunami warnings were issued across the country.The plant's operator said all 4,000 of its workers had been evacuated, adding that there were no "abnormalities" detected.It comes after a massive 8.7 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's far eastern coast, triggering warnings across the Pacific.For many in Fukushima prefecture, the warning is likely to bring back memories of one of the worst nuclear disasters the world has seen.In March 2011, Japan was hit by a devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami that went on to kill more than 18,000 people.The tsunami flooded the plant, disabling its emergency generators and causing them to overheat -...
