Strikes over pay bring London's transport network to a halt
LONDON — Train and bus workers staged a strike in London, grinding the city’s transport network to a halt on Friday, CNN said quoting a Reuters report.The workers held strikes over pay and other conditions, as double-digit inflation ate into wages.All London Underground and Overground train lines were suspended or partly suspended and dozens of bus routes in the west of the city were disrupted, Transport for London (TfL) said.Tens of thousands of workers from the UK national rail network walked out on Thursday and will do so again on Saturday.Commuters across the country have already endured disruption from rail strikes this year, organized by unions demanding pay and conditions for their members that better reflect the soaring cost of living caused by energy price-driven...

Russia rejects call to demilitarize Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant
MOSCOW — Russia has rejected appeals for a complete demilitarization of the area around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine.The move would make the plant more vulnerable, a Russian official said.The calls come amid growing concern over safety at the site, Europe's largest nuclear plant, as both sides accuse each other of shelling the area.Ukrainian workers operate the plant, which has been under Russian control since March.It was one of the first sites seized by Russian troops following the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.UN Secretary General António Guterres sounded the alarm after meeting Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Lviv on Thursday."Any potential damage to Zaporizhzhia is suicide," Guterres...

Grain deal ‘victory for diplomacy,’ UN chief tells journalists in Ukraine
LVIV — Positive momentum on the landmark Black Sea Grain Initiative to help vulnerable people access food reflects “a victory for diplomacy” for those caught in a cost-of-living crisis as well as for Ukraine’s hard-working farmers, UN Secretary-General António Guterres told reporters on Thursday in Lviv, Ukraine.Speaking at a press conference alongside Presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Türkiye, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to visit “again during such a difficult period”.Despite that the Black Sea Grain Initiative was signed a few weeks ago, the UN chief reiterated that “there is no solution to the global food crisis without ensuring full global access to Ukraine’s food products and Russian food and fertilizers”.In less than one...

Erdogan and Guterres meet with Zelensky in a bid to halt Ukraine war
LVIV — Turkey's leader and the UN chief met in Ukraine with President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday in a high-level bid to slow down a war raging for nearly six months — with minimal results, reports claim.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would follow up with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, given that most of the matters discussed would require the Kremlin's agreement.With the meetings held at such a high level — it was the first visit to Ukraine by Erdogan since the war broke out and the second by Guterres — some had hoped for breakthroughs, if not toward an overall peace, then at least on specific issues. But none was apparent.Meeting in the western city of Lviv, far from the front lines, the leaders discussed such things as expanding exchanges of...

Ukraine war: Drone pilots mark targets for new offensive
KYIV — For weeks Ukraine's armed forces have been talking of launching a counter-offensive in the south, and now a senior military officer has told the BBC they aim to recapture the city of Kherson within weeks. Instead of a major full-scale attack, they are expected to adopt a different strategy, with a role for small drone units.His eyes glued to a monitor, a member of Ukraine's special operation forces is operating a drone flying over Russian positions when he spots an armored vehicle hidden in trenches: "Fire when you're ready," he says in a voice message to an artillery unit.Russian lines are just 3km (1.9 miles) away and this soldier has to hide his identity: his call-sign is Maverick, from the movie Top Gun.The task for Maverick and his team is to identify...

Serbia and Kosovo hold rare talks to de-escalate Balkan tensions
BRUSSELS — Wartime rivals Serbia and Kosovo are holding high-level crisis talks on Thursday which European Union mediators hope will de-escalate growing tensions in the Balkans, where Russia has tried to further increase its influence amid the war in Ukraine.Hopes that the rare face-to-face meeting between Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, to be held in Brussels, could produce a major breakthrough are slim.But officials overseeing the decades-old deadlock between the two neighbors hope that it would at least reduce the increasingly war-mongering rhetoric coming from both sides.“All open issues will be addressed and should be addressed through the EU-facilitated dialogue,” European Commission spokesperson for foreign affairs Nabila Massrali told...
