Ukraine war: 'Most Russian troops' leaving Chernobyl, Ukraine says

Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, There have been concerns about safety at the former plant since the Russian occupation Many of the Russian troops occupying the former nuclear power plant at Chernobyl have left, Ukraine’s state nuclear company says. Energoatom said two columns of Russian forces had set off towards the Belarusian border, leaving just a few at the site. The announcement appears to confirm reports by senior US defence officials on Wednesday of a withdrawal. Russian troops seized Chernobyl at the beginning of their invasion of Ukraine. “This morning, the invaders announced their intentions to leave the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,” Energoatom said in a statement. The company also confirmed reports that Russian troops had dug trenches in the most contaminated part of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, receiving “significant doses” of radiation. There are unconfirmed reports that some are being treated in Belarus. Reuters news agency quoted wo...

Why Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) Could Be Worth Watching

While Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NASDAQGS over the last few months. With many analysts covering the mid-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s examine Mattel’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity. Check out our latest analysis for Mattel Is Mattel still cheap?

Sewage: Urgent plan to stop discharges into rivers and sea

Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Water companies have come under intense pressure over the amount of sewage discharged into rivers and the sea The environment secretary has said the UK government is taking urgent action to reduce sewage discharges into rivers and the sea in England. George Eustice unveiled a plan to curb pollution from the “most damaging” storm overflows by 75% by 2035, and 80% of all discharges by 2050. Water firms are under pressure after 1,000 sewage spills a day were recorded in 2021. They could face legal action after admitting possible illegal discharges. The admission last year prompted a major government investigation into more than 2,200 sewage treatment works spanning all water and sewerage companies in England. Mr Eustice said the government was investing £7bn until 2025 to upgrade sewage infrastructure but admitted water bills will rise by about £12 a year to cover costs beyond that. The Liberal Democrats said the amount...

I know how Will Smith felt about his wife being criticised, says Rishi Sunak

Media caption, “At least I didn’t get up and slap anybody,” the chancellor says Rishi Sunak has said he finds it “very upsetting” that his wife has faced criticism over shares she owns in a tech company operating in Russia. The chancellor compared his feelings to those of film star Will Smith, whose own wife was mocked at the Oscars. But he joked: “At least I didn’t get up and slap anybody, which is good.” Mr Sunak’s wife Akshata Murty owns shares thought to be worth more than £400m in Indian firm Infosys, founded by her father, NR Narayana Murthy. The chancellor has himself come in for several days of criticism over last week’s Spring Statement, which opposition parties say did too little to address the spiralling cost of living. He told the BBC’s Newscast podcast: “I think it’s totally fine for people to take shots at me. It’s fair game. I’m the one sitting here and that’s what I signed up for.” But he added: “It’s very upsetting and, I think, wrong for peo...

Nick Leng Brings ‘Duality & Sensation’ With New Songs ‘My Mind Is A Mess In The Morning’ & ‘Morning Midnight’

Whether you’re a ‘morning’ person or a night owl often on the other side of ‘midnight,’ the effortlessly cool Nick Leng has two new songs perfect for you – no matter what the hour. Walt Whitman wrote, “I am large, I contain multitudes” while looking at a blade of grass, but the quote applies to anyone who goes through twenty-four hours of life on this earth. Enter Nick Leng, like a modern Sphinx of Thebes, asking if the person who wakes up in the morning is the same when they go to bed at night? In his two new songs – “Morning / Midnight” and “My Mind is a Mess in the Morning,” Nick shows his own multitudes. “My Mind…” is a piano-driven ballad of self-reflection, looking at all the “troubled thoughts” that come with the dawn’s first light. It’s also a shining example of the self-love struggle that anyone with a messy mind deals with, of finding “forgiveness” and allowing themselves to be worthy of love. While “My Mind…” might be a warm embrace of oneself, flaws and all, “Morning / M...
