Sometimes there are two, or even three, a day. Colleagues say the Ukrainian soldier has the worst job in the army. He rarely gets time off because colleagues are reluctant to cover for him.
Major Laziuk always delivers his bad news face to face.
“The hardest part is when people still have hope,’ he tells The Telegraph. “They think maybe there’s been a mistake.”

,1,Syrian rebels stormed into the city of Aleppo on Friday in a major advance that sent tremors through the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
The push led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) jihadist group had by Friday evening seized at least five western districts of the city, as government forces appeared to melt away.
Video clips shared on social media showed fighters and vehicles advancing into the city where monitors said they were facing little significant resistance.
Barely 48 hours after the offensive reignited front lines that had been static for more than four years, the rapid thrust appeared close to capturing Syria’s second city.

,1,With Britain no longer standing alone against Hitler, the initial contingent of G.l.s landed in the UK, seizing the opportunity created by the Japanese surprise assault on Pearl Harbor. Witnessing the fall of Singapore, the Allies recoiled in dismay as Japan extended its dominion over Java, Burma, and New Guinea, steadily advancing towards Australia.

,1,Workers at Volkswagen have launched rolling strikes in an escalating dispute at one of Germany's biggest employers. Their union IG Metall called the action in protest against planned wage cuts and possible factory closures. The car-maker says it's being hit by spiralling manufacturing costs and stiff competition from China - despite paying out billions of euros in dividends.

,1,Spacetime Ripples From the Dawn of The Universe? #sciencetime #spacescience #astronomy
In 2023, astronomers detected faint spacetime ripples, sparking intrigue about their origins, possibly dating back to the universe's dawn. The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) suspects these waves stem from merging supermassive black holes. Yet, this isn't the only theory. Alternatives include cosmic strings, phase transitions, and domain walls from the early universe, potentially linked to the Big Bang's aftermath.
These phenomena could offer insights into dark matter and dark energy, comprising 95% of the universe. Unraveling these signals is challenging, necessitating advanced detectors like the upcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and the proposed Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration (AEDGE). As scientists prepare for these missions, precise calculations are key to interpreting future data and unlocking the mysteries of our cosmic origins.

,1,Why It's Impossible to Escape North Korea: It's nearly impossible to believe that a country like North Korea exists in the modern world. Over 26 million people are trapped and essentially held hostage by a brutal one-party totalitarian dictatorship. Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of North Korea, is worshipped by millions as a deity. He rules with absolute power, using propaganda and an iron grip on information to control the population. This leaves the outside world to piece together the unbelievable harsh reality of life within North Korea's borders.
The history of Korea leading to the division into North and South is marked by both ancient traditions and modern geopolitical pressures. Originally a unified kingdom for over a millennium, Korea was annexed by Japan in 1910, leading to a harsh period of colonial rule until Japan's defeat in World War II in 1945.
Post-WWII, Korea was divided at the 38th parallel into two zones of occupation with the Soviet Union taking control of the north and the United States taking the south.
In 1948, separate governments were established in each zone: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea led by Kim Il-Sung under Soviet influence, and the Republic of Korea supported by the United States. The Korean War from 1950 to 1953 followed with North Korea invading the South, aiming for reunification under communist rule. The conflict ended with an armistice in 1953, but no peace treaty was signed, leaving the two Koreas officially at war to this day.
But how did North Korea become known as the most oppressive dictatorship in modern history?

On February 24th, Russia launched a military invasion of Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin called it a “special military operation,” but the scale of the attack shows this is a full-scale war that has already caused more than 100 casualties and forced more than half a million Ukrainians to flee their homes.
Ukraine and Russia’s conflict goes back to 2014, when Russia invaded and annexed Crimea and Russian-backed separatist forces took over parts of southeastern Ukraine’s Donbas region. But to understand the full context behind the invasion, it’s important to go even farther back, to the time when Europe’s current-day divisions began, and see how that shaped Europe’s power balance today.
To understand the current conflict’s history in less than 10 minutes, watch the video above.

This lecture was recorded at the Ri on 20 November 2023.
Every second of our lives - whether we're looking both ways before crossing the street, celebrating the birth of a baby, or moving to a new city - we must cope with an unknowable future by telling stories about what will happen next.
What we think we know about it at all scales, from the predictive mechanisms of single-celled organisms and tomato plants to the merging of colossal galaxies billions of years from now. Drawing together science, history and philosophy from a huge range of places and times, David will explore how we prepare for uncertain futures, including the future of human evolution, artificial intelligence, interstellar travel, and more.
For all those curious about what the world could look like in the next hundred years and what the solutions to the biggest challenges facing us all could look like, this is an unmissable event.
