This live blog is now closed. For the latest updates please check here . Russia has opened a long-anticipated new phase of the war in Ukraine , launching its eastern offensive in a bid to seize the country's industrial heartland. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed the move Tuesday , saying the Kremlin's goal was to achieve the “full liberation of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics,” which together make up the Donbas region. The full-scale assault on Ukraine's east came as the last fighters in Mariupol, the besieged port city that is crucial to Moscow's goals, continued to hold out despite a new Russian deadline to surrender. It also followed Russian strikes across the country, hitting supply lines and military infrastructure and killing at least seven people in the western city of Lviv . The United States is expected to announce another package of military aid, which is expected to be similar in size to the $800 million one the administration … [Read more...] about Moscow launches a new phase of the conflict

Actor Jay Ellis remembers watching the 1986 movie “Top Gun” at an Air Force base in Austin, Texas. He was only 8 or 9 years old, and the blockbuster made him dream about becoming a fighter pilot. Ellis wanted to be part of that military community. Now, he plays Navy fighter pilot Payback in the anticipated sequel “Top Gun: Maverick,” which releases nationwide Friday and in select theaters starting Tuesday. He said he sees the film as a way to say thank you to the real men and women who inspired him as a boy. “I grew up around aviation, and I think about the sacrifice that so many men and women take — they give, rather — just for us to be safe,” he said. “I think we all wrap our arms around this community and we protect it so much. And we understand the responsibility to be amazing on-screen for these folks.” Jay Ellis gets real about pulling midair stunts in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ May 23, 2022 06:09 Both of Ellis' grandfathers, his … [Read more...] about ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ stars hope the film’s Black pilots will inspire a new generation of fans

KANG GI-HEON The author is an industry 1 team reporter of the JoongAng Ilbo. It is the time for New Year’s resolutions. Many people make a plan for the New Year with mental reminders or written notes. According to a joint survey by employment sites Job Korea and Albamon conducted on 2,696 adults, 79.8 percent responded that they would make New Year’s resolutions. Seven out of 10 said they are determined to follow through. But the reality is quite different. A 2016 survey showed that 63 percent of adults admitted that their New Year’s resolutions faltered before March. According to American psychologist John Norcross, more than half of Americans make New Year’s resolutions but less than 40 percent care about them six months later. More than half didn’t go to make it that far. Then why do we repeatedly make New Year’s resolutions? Psychologists explain it as a “notational boundary,” a kind of psychological border and a starting point to find a “new me.” The essence of a New … [Read more...] about No one blames you

“The acid attack ruined my life,” said Nasreen, who was abandoned by her parents in 2007 after her husband, against whom she had filed a divorce case for domestic violence, attacked her. She roamed the streets of Jama Masjid struggling to sustain herself. “I’ve slept in places where you wouldn’t even walk,” she said. Life changed for the better when the Delhi High Court employed Nasreen and she could afford a roof over her head. In 2017, the Delhi High Court provided contractual employment to five acid attack survivors and a transgender person after their struggles were highlighted before the then Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal. The Delhi State Legal Services Authority had proposed to explore job opportunities for acid attack survivors and the court’s decision enabled six women to live with dignity. Mamta, 31, worked at a beauty parlour before she was attacked by her husband who threw acid on her face within a few weeks of their marriage in 2010. He was unhappy with the dowry … [Read more...] about Hope amid challenges for acid attack survivors

[PARK SANG-MOON] Ambassadors and executives that attended the Korea JoongAng Daily’s Tuesday forum described the event as “stimulating” and “timely.” The Korea JoongAng Daily held a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) forum at the Westin Josun Seoul in central Seoul. Ambassadors from the RCEP member countries and executives from companies conducting business in them attended the event. “I think this forum is a very good opportunity [for] public and business sectors to gain a first-hand understanding of RCEP,” said Chring Botumrangsay, Ambassador of Cambodia to Korea. “Through events such as this, we can share information about the agreement and showcase the concepts of free trade and regional cooperation behind it." She described the RCEP as being meant to “open up our country, which has … [Read more...] about Forum focusing on Asean was a first

The problem is that most of the budget will be spent on one-time expenditures without any contribution to the advancement of the economy. Welfare budgets aimed at promoting public health and curbing unemployment will reach a whopping 200 trillion won next year. It would be much better if the money was spent taking care of the vulnerable class, overcoming our alarmingly low birthrate and creating jobs for the elderly. But the Moon Jae-in administration wants to spend money on creating 1.03 million public jobs — a 10 percent increase from this year — for senior citizens. The government is putting 21.3 trillion won into so-called Korean New Deal projects to help foster digital and green economies along with ratcheting up our social safety net. The colossal projects are already under fire for being replicas of earlier government projects. Besides, the projects have a plethora of loopholes and some are just plain wacky- sounding. These are far from what the Moon administration touted as … [Read more...] about Stop the spending

As the new socially distant reality drags on, hair has become a major topic of conversation on Zoom dates and phone calls. Videos of at-home buzz cuts are inescapable on social media. Celebrities from Ricky Martin to Elle Fanning have dyed their hair pink. Anderson Cooper revealed on air that he accidentally gave himself a bald spot. But not everyone’s feeling the DIY spirit. As cabin fever—and split ends—reach an apex, barbers have begun to offer house calls for those unwilling to pick up scissors themselves. Last month, The Washington Post described a growing “black market of hairstylists” ready to “risk it all” with such visits, but those who spoke to The Daily Beast are not trying to hide their services. Many have taken to advertise on Craigslist and Instagram, charging a bit more than usual for appointments. It helps them keep food on the table and rent paid as salons remain shuttered. “As a professional barber [before coronavirus], I took the risk of getting … [Read more...] about You Can Get a Quarantine Haircut if You Know the Right Barber—and Have the Money

The city of Johannesburg, South Africa, is to follow the lead of Cape Town and seek alternative power suppliers other than Eskom, the state-run electricity monopoly that has been gutted by overly aggressive affirmative action and mismanagement. Two decades ago, Eskom provided the world’s cheapest power, and was discussing high-tech investments in new technology such as pebble-bed nuclear reactors. The company was considered a candidate for privatization to boost foreign investment. But pushback from South Africa’s trade unions led to that plan being shelved. Moreover, the country’s ruling party, the African National Congress, found it convenient to use state-owned companies like Eskom to offer jobs to local cronies. Eskom and other state-owned enterprises also implemented aggressive affirmative action policies that saw white engineers displaced by black replacements who often could not do the job, forcing companies to hire consultants and foreign workers. Moreover, cities … [Read more...] about Johannesburg to Follow Cape Town, Break from State Power Company

The latest episode of Disney-owned The Simpsons indulged in the usual heavy-handed takedown of Republicans and conservatives by bashing Tucker Carlson and claiming that Americans vote for “gun nuts and climate deniers.” In a musical number led by actor Hugh Jackman and far-left Berkely economist and former Bill Clinton secretary of labor Robert Reich, Sunday night’s finale for the show’s 33rd season pushed a number of left-wing claims, from the absurd belief that Tucker Carlson wants Putin for president to the idea that Qanon now controls the Republican Party to the rich Ruling Class destroyed America’s middle class. The song mourned the death of the middle class and was directed at Bart Simpson to challenge his reverence for Homer Simpson’s job at the nuclear power plant. “You’ll never have the life our flabby dad had, what can he do that a robot can’t?” Lisa raps. “That job you see now needs a PhD / While paying student loans leaves you in poverty / No brand new car / No … [Read more...] about ‘The Simpsons’ Says Americans ‘Vote for Gun Nuts and Climate Deniers’
