The largely symbolic travel bans form part of a downward spiral in Russia’s relations with the West since its Feb. 24 attack of Ukraine, which prompted Washington and its allies to impose drastic sanctions on Moscow and step up arms supplies to Ukraine. Separately, the Foreign Ministry said it had added 26 new names to a list of Canadians it has barred from traveling to Russia, including defense chiefs, defense industry executives and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, the wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Publishing the full list of banned Americans for the first time, the ministry said: "We emphasize that the hostile actions taken by Washington, which boomerang against the United States itself, will continue to receive a proper rebuff." It said Russian counter-sanctions were a necessary response aimed at "forcing the ruling American regime, which is trying to impose a neo-colonial ‘rules-based world order’ on the rest of the world, to change its behavior, recognizing new … [Read more...] about Russia says 963 Americans are banned from entering, adds 26 new Canadians

Organizers of an award-giving body have sworn not to give any more trophies to Rebellious Worker (RW) ever again. They said they got traumatized after RW ruined their program sequence by delivering a thank-you speech that’s 30 minutes long. Their production team had to remove several segments of the show because RW took his sweet time reading the names of people on his list and telling anecdotes related to his life as an actor. Meanwhile, there were over a hundred honorees that night.RW ignored procedures, which were discussed to him during a preshow meeting. He should’ve kept his speech short and sweet, the organizers said. But we’re guessing RW just couldn’t help himself since he hasn’t gotten a lot of opportunities in his acting career to say a thank-you speech for an award, anyway. Burn!

Ruffa Gutierrez (center) with daughters Venice (left) and Lorin. I don’t do to them what my mom did to me while growing up.” This, in a nutshell, was how actress Ruffa Gutierrez, mother to two teenage daughters, described her parenting style. Ruffa has always been vocal about how she thought her own mom, former actress Annabelle Rama, had been too strict with her, especially when she was a teenager. This is because Ruffa is the unica hija in the family. She has five brothers. Now 47, the actress has two children of her own, Lorin, 18, and Venice, 17. “I make sure we talk all the time, especially now that Lorin is studying in the United States. Unlike my mom, I play both good and bad cop with them. I’d often say, ‘Girls, this is what you should do. This is what you should avoid.’ While I make them decide for themselves, I’m not too lenient—mahirap din kasi. I’m just grateful and happy that they’re good kids,” she told Inquirer in a recent media gathering. Adjustments “I … [Read more...] about Why Ruffa Gutierrez’s parenting style is different from her mom Annabelle’s

(CDC/Handout via REUTERS) LONDON —  The World Health Organization is working on further guidance for countries on how to mitigate the spread of monkeypox, amid concerns that cases could spike further in the summer months, a senior adviser for the UN agency told Reuters. The WHO’s working theory based on the cases identified so far is that the outbreak is being driven by sexual contact, said David Heymann, chair of the WHO’s Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Infectious Hazards with Pandemic and Epidemic Potential. He led a meeting on the outbreak on Friday. Monkeypox is an infectious disease that is usually mild and is endemic in parts of west and central Africa. It is spread by close contact, which means it can be relatively easily contained through such measures as self-isolation and … [Read more...] about WHO working on more monkeypox guidance as cases rise

A ROYAL author has suggested that the queen is starting to get “fed up” with a certain aspect of royal visits. Her Majesty is said to be growing tired of her famous Walkabouts , an event set up by her in the 70s, which see the Queen interact with the public and exchange a few words. According to Royal author Ian Lloyd, people no longer want to speak with the Monarch, and would rather "have their phones out". He told the Express : "These days people only want selfies and photographs of her, they just hold up their cameras or, even more alarming, their iPads so she is faced with a wall of that when she looks at the crowd, it's horrible. "Princess Anne once said that, because of their phones, people now only actually believe they have seen something if they can photograph it so they lose the immediacy, their memory.” Currently, it is unknown if the Queen will continue with her Walkabouts during the Jubilee, due to her reported mobility issues.

BRITS heading to Spain this summer have been warned they will have to put up with miles of "smelly rotten sludge" on beaches. Environmentalists say they realise that huge mounds of sea algae washed up by bad weather look and smell awful and are hated by sunbathing tourists. But they are recommending local councils not to remove them if at all possible as it is all part of marine life and conservation and the fight against climate change. The so-called " posidonia" or "seagrass" on Spanish beaches is already being protected in parts of Alicante where the local authority yesterday approved an order to protect it at all costs. And other holiday resorts across Spain are considering delaying the removal of the miles of sludge, even though beach users have to wade through the sludge to get to the sea. The Spanish Institute of Coastal Ecology is recommending delaying the removal of posidonia until the arrival of high season and only then on the busiest of beaches. … [Read more...] about Spain holiday warning as Brit tourists told to put up with miles of ‘smelly rotten sludge’ on family beaches
