| DULY NOTED:Frontline medical staff in Ukraine are being targeted by enemy fire more than in any other war and are being treated as ‘high-value targets’ by Russian forces, according to a humanitarian charity. Medics4Ukraine, which trains combat medical staff, claim they are being specifically targeted, forcing them to remove red crosses from their uniforms to avoid being identified and deliberately attacked by Putin’s troops. SOURCE: Daily Mail * Monkeypox has been given a new name by the World Health Organisation. The disease will now be called “mpox” in a bid to help tackle discrimination and stigma. SOURCE: The Guardian .* A 26-year-old hiker was shot in the arm in one of a series of hunting-related incidents in France over the weekend – again throwing the spotlight on the issue. The man was walking in the Alpilles mountains in Provence when he was hit by a stray bullet in the biceps. A hunter in his 30s, was arrested. The incident happened less than 24 hours after a 64-year-old man was shot in the stomach during a wild-boar hunt in the Dordogne. A 34-year-old hunter was arrested. In a third incident, a 58-year-old hunter was taken to hospital in Brest on Sunday after he was hit in the head by lead pellets while on a woodcock hunt. SOURCE: The Guardian * Following a string of Ukrainian military successes in the south, the Kremlin sought on Monday to tamp down speculation that Russian forces would withdraw from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear complex, with Putin’s spokesman saying that Moscow has no plans to end its military occupation of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. SOURCE: New York Times * Putin, “continues trying to make Ukraine a black hole – no light, no electricity, no heating to put the Ukrainians into the darkness and the cold”, said the European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell. “So we have to continue our support providing more material for the Ukrainians to face the winter without electricity.” SOURCE: Le Figaro Compiled by Jeff Daniels |
