UZHHOROD, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s first lady wants her country’s children to view themselves not as a generation enduring a grinding war but rather as “a generation of winners.” On the sidelines of a day spent at a rehabilitation camp for Ukrainian children in the relatively safe western city of Uzhhorod, Olena Zelenska said Tuesday that working with the next generation was a moral obligation and a “strategic priority” for Ukraine’s future. Many of the children will return to front-line cities after spending a few weeks at the camp created by Voices of the Children charity, barely enough time to overcome the trauma they…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukraine’s daring ground offensive has taken the fight to Russia, but not nearly as much as its leaders would like because, they say, the United States won’t let them. The U.S. restricts the use of long-range ballistic missiles it provides to Ukraine, which wants to aim them at military targets inside Russia. Ukraine’s offensive, along with a barrage of drones and missiles that Moscow launched this week, has intensified pressure on the Biden administration to ease its cautious approach to the use of Western weapons in escalating Ukrainian attacks. The Biden administration says its careful deliberations, including which advanced weapons it…
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — It’s been a year since the people of Ecuador voted to halt oil drilling in a national park in the heart of the country’s share of the Amazon, and nothing has been done to start shutting down operations. For supporters of the shutdown, that’s not even the worst part: the government is now seeking a five-year extension for the state-run oil company to get out. The Waorani people, an Indigenous group whose territory overlaps Yasuni National Park, and others are frustrated by the lack of compliance with the referendum. “We should already have advanced…
AL-FARAA REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (AP) — Israeli forces launched a large operation in the occupied West Bank overnight and into Wednesday, killing at least 10 Hamas militants and sealing off the volatile city of Jenin. The ongoing operation was among the largest in the West Bank in months, and a reminder that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict extends far beyond the war in Gaza that began with Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. Israel says it is rooting out West Bank militants to prevent attacks, while Palestinians fear it intends to broaden the war and expel them from territories they want for a future state.…
Pensioners with the highest needs and lowest incomes should receive better targeted support with energy bills, says Citizens’ Advice. From next month, those not on pension credit or other means-tested benefits will no longer get the annual winter fuel payments, worth between £100 and £300. But Citizens’ Advice boss Dame Clare Moriarty, who attended a government meeting with energy firms to discuss the issue on Wednesday, called for a “social tariff” – discounted bills for those least able to afford them. The prime minister has defended the decision to scrap universal winter fuel payments, saying it was needed to repair…

Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has said. Mr O’Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights. Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances. “We don’t want to begrudge people having a drink,” he told the Daily Telegraph. “But we don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft.” ‘Aggressive behaviour’ Crew members and other passengers have become targets, according to Mr O’Leary.

US rapper Macklemore has cancelled his upcoming October show in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), over the country’s alleged role in the deadly conflict in Sudan. He said people had for months been asking him to call off the concert in solidarity with the Sudanese people “and to boycott doing business in the UAE for the role they are playing in the ongoing genocide and humanitarian crisis in the region”. The rapper cited the UAE’s reported support for the Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been battling the Sudanese army. “Until the UAE stops arming and funding the…

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA decided Saturday it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule, and they’ll have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX. What should have been a weeklong test flight for the pair will now last more than eight months. The seasoned pilots have been stuck at the International Space Station since the beginning of June. A cascade of vexing thruster failures and helium leaks in the new capsule marred their trip to the space station, and they ended up in a holding pattern as engineers conducted tests and debated what…
