Officials say 2,500 have perished since Russian forces poured across the Ukrainian border on February 24. About 35,000 people are believed to have escaped in recent days, many on foot and under Russian fire, but 300,000 remain.

And season 2 is even better than the first. It becomes a noir detective story set in Silicon Valley, where kids, one of whom is played by Zendaya, are disappearing after competing in a VR game on an app. Shot with a more polished look, season 2 is slightly less bleak than the character drama of season 1. There are even attempts at humor -- Marling is no stranger to comedy, appearing in Community and British series Babylon.

They didn't. In fact, last year they dropped testosterone suppression as a requirement and prioritised the inclusion of transgender athletes over fair sport for females, in the process discriminating against half of the world's population. 

'My family was in the bomb shelter of High School No 2. Three days ago a shell shattered some of the windows. A woman was wounded in her hip. She laid all night on the first floor asking for someone to give her poison so that she would not feel the pain.'

They can be extremely abusive and have even threatened my children. Just as worrying is that this abuse is mostly coming from men, and is incredibly misogynistic. It's the worst I've ever known. Most hide behind social media.

Meanwhile, although New York City lifted its indoor mask mandate on March 7, newly-minted health commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said Friday that masking public school children under five in the city is 'indefinite at this point.'

That's right. Forget Marvel. This is the show to watch if you want a rich, existential look at the interconnectedness of all things. The world of the OA is vast and the way it works follows the most unexpected rules.

Prairie has scars on her back and experiences traumatic episodes, but won't burden her adopted parents with her story. Instead, she takes to the internet, finding like-minded friends via the medium of YouTube.

The OA is difficult to describe, because it sews a handful of different genres into its own ethereal plane. The OA is surreal at times. Yet instead of floating images gently knocking against each other, the sci-fi here is delivered with the grounded assuredness of a Christopher Nolan movie. It moves with the same relentless force.

The Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second-largest public school district in the nation, announced Friday that it will lift face-covering requirements for students and staff - a day after New York City's health commissioner said children under five will be masked 'indefinitely' at school. 

From here, the story functions a little like the mystery in Yellowjackets. We don't know whether Prairie is telling her new friends the truth or not. We don't know whether she truly has supernatural powers. To them, it doesn't entirely matter. She brings unhappy, trapped people together, showing them the same kindness and understanding they've afforded her. Showing them an escape.

Julie Bindel, a feminist campaigner, said: 'There are questions to be asked why single men, all of a sudden, want babies that they will be the sole parents for, when traditionally they have passed on the lion's share of caring responsibilities for children to women.'

Since the law changed three years ago to provide singletons with the same surrogacy rights as couples, 82 applications were made by single 'intended parents', according to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.
Of those, 54 were from men.

Ukrainian MP Dmytro Gorin, whose parents are trapped in the city, said the Russians have dropped hundreds of bombs on the city and that conditions are medieval, adding: 'People are out of food and, more importantly, out of water.'

As Russia's defence ministry said its forces were 'tightening the noose' around the city, a woman called Svitlana gave a harrowing account of her flight from the city - and the horrors faced by those who have chosen, or been forced, to stay.

Where will it hit? There is no food, no medicine. When there will be no more snow people won't be able to go out for water. The dead are not taken out. The police recommend to open the windows and put the corpses on the balcony.'

'People who have tried to predict what's going to happen in the future in this pandemic have repeatedly found egg on their face, as they say, and I'm not going to do that here today,' he said at a COVID briefing in Queens on Friday.
