Russia’s invasion on Ukraine advances on Kyiv: live updates

Opinion | For the Supreme Court, Racial and Gender Diversity Matters, But So Does Judicial Philosophy

Of the 115 people who have served on the US Supreme Court, only five have been women and only three have not been white. So it's only right that President Biden has promised to appoint a black woman.But judicial philosophy should matter, too, and here Republicans have been kicking Democrats' butts for over three decades.Clarence Thomas—a credibly accused sexual predator who was nominated by George HW Bush to succeed civil rights icon Thurgood Marshal—became the most extremist right-wing Justice on the Court. Amy Coney Barrett--whose nomination by Donald Trump to succeed the “Notorious RBG” (Ruth Bader Ginsberg) was rushed through the Senate in record time to deny Joe Biden an appointmen—may turn out to be one of the most consequential Justices to move the Court even further to the rig...

China ponders how Russia’s actions in Ukraine could reshape world order | Ukraine

The news came as a surprise to many in Beijing. Barely 24 hours ago, Chinese pundits predicted that a war in Ukraine was not inevitable. In New York, as Russia geared up for a full-on assault on its neighbour, China's UN envoy, Zhang Jun, urged in a security council meeting that “the door to a peaceful solution to the Ukraine issue is not fully shut, nor should it be shut”.But when people in Kyiv woke up to the sound of bombs in what the Nato chief called a “deliberate, cold-blooded” invasion, the door had clearly been closed. China's state media, however, insisted it was a “special military action” by Russia. Quoting Vladimir Putin, China's central television tweeted: “Russia was left with no other choice.”Chinese netizens were fascinated by Russia's move. Three weeks ago, Putin w...

«Ucrania se dispone a perder hasta un tercio de su territorio»

Francisco de Andrés Actualizado:25/02/2022 13:03h Guardar Noticias relacionadas«Ucrania se dispone a perder hasta un tercio de su territorio, ante la impotencia de la OTAN y de Occidente», apuntó hace días a ABC un analista militar de la Alianza que pidió el anonimato. Su presagio de que la invasión se produciría «el miércoles 23» falló por solo un día. Pero sus temores de que la invasión ordenada por Putin va más allá del mero interés por derribar el régimen prooccidental de Zelenski, para colocar en su lugar un gobierno prorruso y anti-OTAN, están llenos de sentido común. Eso solo no aseguraría que en el futuro regrese al poder en Kiev otro gobierno proaliado.La región separatista del Donbass, en el este del país, es solo una de las primeras piezas que pretende c...

Sunday’s show heats up the Oscar race, what to know

After last year's ceremony was delayed and reimagined in the wake of COVID-19, the Screen Actors Guild Awards return this weekend to hand out hardware at a live show and boost some Oscar contenders on the road to next month's Academy Awards.The 28th SAG Awards will take place live Sunday at Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hanger, changing up the spot from the usual locale of Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium and the first time the SAGs have been in Santa Monica since 1996. It's a symbolic move proving that while award shows are back in person, everything's not back to normal in Hollywood quite yet.Why does this show matter so much in the Oscar race? Actors comprise the Academy's largest voting bloc, so the SAGs are usually a good bellwether for the acting categories at the Oscars. And after ...

Trump may offer help to Katie Britt in Alabama Senate primary — even though he’s already endorsed Mo Brooks | CNN Politics

CNN —   Former President Donald Trump didn’t plan to invite Alabama Senate hopeful Katie Britt to meet with him at Mar-a-Lago this month. He already had his man in the race – conservative firebrand Mo Brooks – and wasn’t keen on endorsing a second candidate, despite briefly considering it amid frustrations with Brooks’ dull performance so far. But then Trump got to talking with New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick at his annual Super Bowl party, and their conversation turned to the contentious GOP primary in Alabama. “Belichick coached Wesley Britt and said positive things about the couple when they got to talking about the race,” said a person familiar with their conversation. (Katie...

Rocket Report: SLS rocket almost ready to roll, ULA workers prepared to strike

Enlarge / Not one, but two Electron rockets on Rocket Lab's launch pads in New Zealand. Welcome to Edition 4.33 of the Rocket Report! Let me apologize about the lack of a report last week—I injured my wrist pretty badly and for a few days had to type with one hand. This is not conductive for writing and editing a newsletter that often runs more than 2,000 words. Also, there are an huge number of things happening on space and Earth, particularly with Russia and Ukraine and the West. I'm working on a story about the ways in which spaceflight could be affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, so look for a story on that sometime Friday. Hopefully. As always, we welcome reader submissions, and if you don't want to miss an issue, pleas...
