Biden orders door-to-door visits after toxic US train derailment

The US president also announced that he would not be visiting the crash site, though others in his administration have. United States President Joe Biden on Friday has directed federal agencies to go door-to-door in East Palestine, Ohio, on Friday to check on families affected by the toxic train derailment that has morphed into a heated political controversy. Biden directed employees to get to as many homes as possible by Monday. The president said that at present he has no plans to personally visit Ohio. Environmental controversy extended more than 1,000 miles to Texas, where a Harris County official raised questions about the transportation and disposal of toxic wastewater that was moved to a Houston suburb from the site of the Ohio derailment.

Russia sends Soyuz rescue ship to International Space Station

Russia has launched an uncrewed Soyuz spacecraft on a rescue mission to return two cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut whose trip back to Earth has been hampered after their original space vehicle was damaged by a mini meteorite while parked at the International Space Station (ISS). The Soyuz MS-23 vessel blasted off successfully from the Russian-operated Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Friday, live video broadcast by ISS partner NASA showed. The uncrewed Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft lifted off at 7:24pm ET on a two-day journey to the space station to replace the MS-22 that experienced a coolant system leak in December 2022.

How and why did Shamima Begum lose her UK citizenship?

The British government stripped Begum of her citizenship in 2019, shortly after she was found in a detention camp in Syria. In an interview with The Times newspaper in 2019, Begum said she was tired of life on the battlefield and feared for her unborn child. Why and how did Begum lose her UK citizenship? In 2019, a British judge said, however, that British citizenship is “not an absolute entitlement for everyone. In Begum’s case, a UK tribunal ruled in 2019 that removing her citizenship was lawful because Begum “holds Bangladeshi citizenship” by descent through her parents.

As weapons taboos shatter, Kyiv and the West become strong allies

“In order to de-escalate, [the Russians] will escalate using chemical or nuclear weapons,” Buckner told Al Jazeera. Ukraine used US-made Javelin missiles to skewer a 65km (40-mile) column of Russian armour as it tried to reach Kyiv. “Russian artillery were firing around 20,000 rounds per day, with their peak fire rate surpassing 32,000 rounds on some days,” a report by the Royal United Services Institute said. “It’s symbolic that the West supports a Ukraine going into the assault, hitting back against Russia, not just minimising or containing a Russian advance,” Yates said. Ukraine is rapidly depleting its allies’ reserves of NATO artillery shells, and defence industries need time to ramp up production.

Wang Yi meets Putin in sign of deepening China-Russia ties

Putin said ties between the two countries had reached ‘new frontiers’ and confirmed a summit with Chinese President Xi Jingping. Images showed Wang and Putin exchanging a firm handshake and sitting across the table from each other during their meeting on Wednesday. Others showed Wang, the Chinese Communist Party’s most senior foreign policy official, looking relaxed as he walked with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Ties between the two had reached “new frontiers”, he said, confirming that Chinese President Xi Jinping might soon travel to Moscow for a summit. The US and NATO have recently expressed concern that China might provide arms or other support to Russia’s war, although China has denied having any such plan.
