Putin says it is our affair if Russia uses North Korean troops

MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that it was Russia's business whether or not it decided to use North Korean troops and said that if Ukraine wanted to join NATO then Moscow could do what it wanted to ensure its own security.The United States said on Wednesday that it had seen evidence that North Korea has sent 3,000 troops to Russia for possible deployment in Ukraine, a move that the West is casting as a significant escalation of the Ukraine war.Ukraine's military intelligence service said that the first North Korean units trained in Russia had been deployed in the Kursk region, a Russian border area where Ukrainian forces took a chunk of Russian land in August."When we have to decide something, we will decide... but it is our sovereign decision whether we will apply it, whether we […]

Court upholds freedom for woman whose conviction was overturned after 43 years behind bars

An appellate court ruled Tuesday that a lower court was right when it decided to overturn the murder conviction of a woman who spent 43 years behind bars for a killing that her attorneys argue was committed by a discredited police officer.Sandra Hemme was freed in July while the decision to overturn her conviction was reviewed -- at the insistence of Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who argued she should remain imprisoned.Presiding Judge Cynthia Martin wrote in the scathing 71-page ruling that some arguments raised by Bailey's office bordered “on the absurd” and gave prosecutors 10 days to refile charges.“It is time for this miscarriage of justice to end,” Hemme's attorneys said in a statement.Hemme had been the longest-held wrongly incarcerated woman known in the U.S., according to her legal team at the Innocence Project.A spokeswoman for Bailey didn’t immediately respond […]

By Thomas EscrittBERLIN (Reuters) - Ukraine's population has declined by 10 million, or around a quarter, since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion as a result of refugees leaving, collapsing fertility and war deaths, the United Nations said on Tuesday.Speaking at a Geneva news conference, Florence Bauer, Eastern Europe head at the U.N. Population Fund, said the invasion in February 2022 had turned an already difficult demographic situation into something more severe."The birth rate plummeted and is currently at around one child per woman, which is one of the lowest in the world," she said. It takes a fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman to maintain a stable population.Ukraine, which had a population of over 50 million when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, has, like almost all its Eastern European and Central Asian neighbours, undergone severe population decline.

At 2am on the last Sunday in October every year, the clocks go backwards in the UK, which signals the beginning of shorter days.This year, the clocks will go backwards by one hour at 2am on Sunday 27 October, giving us an extra hour in bed as we prepare for the colder winter months.While most of us welcome an extra hour’s sleep, the system of changing the clocks twice a year can be controversial due to health and behavioural concerns linked to shifting sleeping patterns and adapting to darker evenings. And, some studies have shown it disrupts the body’s natural sleep cycles, which can affect both physical and mental health.So what is the impact of turning back the clocks on our health?How does changing the clock impact physical health?The human brain has a biological clock, also known as a circadian […]
