Russia said Ukrainian drones targeted the Afipsky refinery in the Krasnodar region overnight, in the latest attack on the nation’s energy infrastructure. Debris of the unmanned aerial vehicle fell on the territory of the facility and caused a fire, which “was quickly extinguished,” regional emergencies authorities said in a Telegram post. “There were no casualties or damage to infrastructure.” Blo...
Russia said Ukrainian drones targeted the Afipsky refinery in the Krasnodar region overnight, in the latest attack on the nation’s energy infrastructure. Debris of the unmanned aerial vehicle fell on the territory of the facility and caused a fire, which “was quickly extinguished,” regional emergencies authorities said in a Telegram post. “There were no casualties or damage to infrastructure.” Bloomberg couldn’t independently verify the claim. ForteInvest, which operates the Afipsky refinery, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the potential impact on processing rates. Ukraine and Russia have been trading attacks on energy infrastructure as Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor is about to enter a fifth year, with Kyiv and Moscow remaining at an impasse over a proposed peace plan. While Kyiv has reduced the intensity of attacks on Russian refineries and oil export facilities so far this month compared with the end of last year, Moscow has stepped up strikes on Ukraine’s power sector, leaving millions of people without heating and water amid freezing temperatures. The Afipsky refinery has a processing capacity of as much as 9.1 million tons of crude oil annually, or some 180,000 barrels per day. The facility, which has been a target for repeated Ukrainian attacks, was last hit in December .

The arrest of Frenchie Mae Cumpio has been described as a ‘travesty of justice’. On Thursday a court will deliver its verdict, potentially sentencing her to 40 years in prison for alleged terrorism For weeks before the police came for her, Frenchie Mae Cumpio had noticed odd incidents. The Filipino journalist – just 21 years old but already hosting a radio show and working as executive director of a local news website – told colleagues that a stranger had begun turning up and asking after her at the boarding house where she lived. She was sent a bouquet of flowers designed for a grave. She reported that two men had been following her on a motorcycle. Cumpio believed it was deliberate intimidation. She had recently published a series of reports after visiting poor rural farmers who said they were being harassed by army units in the region. Continue reading...
Our nation’s fascination with rubbish knows no bounds – as was proved by one recent online debate Even if you’ve never been anywhere near it, the Mumsnet message board is legendary.

Our nation’s fascination with rubbish knows no bounds – as was proved by one recent online debate Even if you’ve never been anywhere near it, the Mumsnet message board is legendary. Since it launched in 2000, it has changed the vernacular – “am I being unreasonable?” is not just a question, it’s a shorthand for the type of person who asks it – and introduced us to the penis beaker (one maverick husband’s postcoital hygiene regime, made infamous). It’s a screenshot of society, a cultural thermometer; if it’s happening on Mumsnet, it’s big news. And one of the most popular recent threads is about bins. The post that kicked it off was written by a woman who lived opposite an empty house where tenants had moved out. The landlord popped round late at night to drag the bins out for collection, and the next morning, at 6.45am, she could hear the lorry approaching. The coast was clear, and she still had a backlog of rubbish from Christmas. Deciding it was a victimless crime, she slipped one of her bags in their bin, which easily had room. Enterprising? Without a doubt. Moral, though? Continue reading...
We had a mass snowball fight and a disco, and I slept in a room full of drunk men with wet socks. It was fun, but in future snowstorms I won’t be rushing to the pub In all my years of reporting, nothing seems to fascinate people more than the four days I spent snowed in at Britain’s highest pub last year.

We had a mass snowball fight and a disco, and I slept in a room full of drunk men with wet socks. It was fun, but in future snowstorms I won’t be rushing to the pub In all my years of reporting, nothing seems to fascinate people more than the four days I spent snowed in at Britain’s highest pub last year. It was early January and the Met Office had issued severe warnings for snow. It dawned on me that people were about to live out a British fantasy of being snowed in at their local pub. I knew where I needed to be: The Tan Hill Inn, high up in the wilderness on the very northern edge of the Yorkshire Dales national park. Continue reading...
The world needs global leaders to clearly and firmly denounce the havoc Trump is wreaking on the US and international order Hundreds of global CEOs, finance titans, and more than 60 prime ministers and presidents are in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual confab of the world’s powerful and wealthy: the World Economic Forum.

The world needs global leaders to clearly and firmly denounce the havoc Trump is wreaking on the US and international order Hundreds of global CEOs, finance titans, and more than 60 prime ministers and presidents are in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual confab of the world’s powerful and wealthy: the World Economic Forum. This year’s Davos meeting occurs at a time when Donald Trump is not just unleashing his brownshirts on Minneapolis and other American cities, but also dismantling the international order that’s largely been in place since the end of the second world war – threatening Nato, withdrawing from international organizations including the UN climate treaty, violating the UN charter by invading Venezuela and abducting Nicolás Maduro, upending established trade rules, and demanding that the US annex Greenland. Robert Reich, a former US secretary of labor, is a professor of public policy emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a Guardian US columnist and his newsletter is at robertreich.substack.com . His new book, Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America, is out now Continue reading...

Last year, Anna, a university administrator in New York City, was knee-deep in planning a high-stakes event series with a school abroad. Negotiations had grown prickly, and Anna and her overseas counterpart were butting heads over who should lead the discussions and what the participants should even discuss. Anna drafted an email, not holding back about what she thought of the other university’s plans, characterizing its proposal as overly broad and unclear, comparing it to “a big wobbly blancmange.” In other words, a mess. But she never sent it. Instead, Anna did what she often does at work when she’s teetering on the edge of being a tad too honest. She loaded the draft into ChatGPT and prompted it with a set of bare-bones instructions. Among them: “Soften the tone.” In seconds, the chatbot spit out a message that felt “a bit more generous”—bye-bye blancmange—but still got the point across. She tweaked her draft accordingly and clicked send. To Anna, who asked to be identified only by her first name to avoid inflaming an already-fraught relationship with the other school, it was a way of “outsourcing emotional work,” no different from the other tedious tasks people are delegating to artificial intelligence. “If I just spent five additional minutes, I probably could have done it on my own,” she says. “But I didn’t want to spend those five extra minutes.” As workers search for ways to make AI tools relevant to their office life, people like Anna are using chatbots to tone-check angry Slack messages, workshop tricky conversations, appear more firm in negotiations and get a second opinion on how their words might be misconstrued. In a recent survey of 1,000 US professionals , email-verification platform ZeroBounce found that 41% of managers have used AI tools to draft or revise performance reviews and 17% have used the technology to draft or revise layoff emails. Laura Jeffords Greenberg , legal director at the AI firm Wordsmith AI, says she uses the tools to reword “p...

Ex- JPMorgan Chase & Co. banker Karim Ben Rejeb has set up an investment fund that will target emerging and under-commercialized sports in Europe. Ben Rejeb has founded Athvance Capital alongside Danny Menken , a former executive at television network Eurosport and sports streamer Eleven Sports Network Ltd. , according to a statement. Athvance launches as heavy flows of capital continue to flow into European sports, increasingly from more big-name US investors. Athvance, which is looking to raise as much as €500 million ($585 million), will not seek to compete for so-called trophy assets. Instead, it will chase assets that it considers under-monetized and which offer the highest potential for growth and profit. Ben Rejeb pointed to projections from consultancy Kearney that global sports market revenue is forecast to exceed €600 billion by 2030, up from €417 billion last year. “If we don’t provide the right capital and know-how we will become a museum in Europe because we will continue to sell to international owners,” Ben Rejeb said. Ben Rejeb and Menken met at a week-long personal growth retreat known as the Hoffman Process and found they shared a passion for sport, a sector they see as less susceptible to disruption by the rise of artificial intelligence. Athvance has already invested in professional beach volleyball league Queen & King of the Court, a padel tournament and Estrella Football Group, a multiclub owner of lower league clubs including Clube Sportivo de Cascais in Portugal. Menken said that new revenue generators have been added at Cascais, such as charging €50,000 a head for aspiring footballers to come to train with the team. “This is an exciting moment for the sports industry,” Menken said in the statement. “The opportunity is particularly strong in Europe, where the market is still fragmented with a large number of under-monetized sports assets and relatively few dedicated investment platforms.”
