This comes as the result of findings from the parliamentary committee of the UK’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The committee had been undergoing a widespread inquiry into the psychological effects of games and social media on their users, as well as how the companies that run these platforms have contributed to these effects. RELATED: EA Rebrands Loot Boxes as ‘Surprise Mechanics’ in UK Testimony While the committee notes that most gamers have positive experiences gaming, its chief concern was with the minority of people, often young people, who get hooked on games and are compelled to spend up to thousands of dollars on microtransactions, including loot boxes....

The news media’s focus is currently on Vladimir Putin and his threat to invade Ukraine. President Joe Biden made a dangerous mistake in his two-hour press conference when he said his administration might consider “a minor incursion” by Russia into Ukraine acceptable. His administration was trying to walk back that comment from the moment the press conference ended and spent the next two days trying to reassure everyone—including our allies—that Biden did not mean what he plainly said....

“In just 10 days from now, we will mark 8 months of relentless war in Ukraine,” WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge said on Friday. “The escalation of the humanitarian emergency requires an escalation of the humanitarian response. Let me clearly state: WHO is there to stay—to stay and support the Ministry of Health, under the leadership of Health Minister Dr. Viktor Liashko, and to stay and support our more than 150 health partners on the ground....

Ukraine preparing nuclear explosion as anti-Russian provocation “Dirty bomb.” This is the name of low-yield, but no less dangerous, nuclear weapons. The Kyiv regime’s plans to use this weapon on the territory of Ukraine were reported Monday morning by RIA Novosti news agency, citing credible sources in various countries, including Ukraine. The ultimate aim is to blame the use of weapons of mass destruction on Russia, and thereby cause a strong international backlash....

Ukraine strikes Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, chemical enterprises Ukraine confirmed last week its essence as a terrorist state. Almost every day, Ukrainian formations attacked the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the satellite town of Energodar. The effective work of the Russian air defense forces is making it possible to avoid a nuclear catastrophe. But it’s not just nuclear power plants. Attacks targeted other dangerous objects. In Donetsk, one attack resulted in an ammonia leak....

In a sarcastic Twitter post, the ministry said Friday that it had “received thousands of tons of ammunition as a gift” from Russia’s forces over the past week. The ministry’s post follows reports of Ukraine’s success in reclaiming occupied land in the country’s south and northeast. But the “gift” of seized ammunition will be returned to Russia, the ministry added. “Please note that we do not accept gifts from murderers, torturers, looters, or rapists,” the ministry said in its post....

3,256 people fled Mariupol and Berdiansk and arrived in Zaporizhzhia Thursday, Vereshchuk reports. Of those, 1,205 were from Mariupol and 2,050 were from Vasylivka, Berdiansk and Melitopol. Teams were also able to evacuate 1,420 others from Lisichansk, Severodonetsk, Rubížne and Kreminna in Ukraine’s Luhansk region Thursday. A convoy of nine buses is now headed to Melitopol with humanitarian assistance. Vereshchuk said the buses will evacuate civilians out of the city to Zaporizhzhia....

Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl said that China posed a bigger risk to the U.S. and the world order than Russia did, although he warned that Moscow was still a “dangerous actor.” Kahl said Russia was “perhaps not as capable, frankly, and conventional as some of us may have assessed six or eight months ago,” referring to the time before Putin launched his full-scale invasion on February 24, after months of building up troops by the border....

Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting to address the counterfeit documents after putting new vaccine requirements in effect starting November 8. The country now requires government employees, teachers and other workers to be fully vaccinated by November 8 or have their pay suspended. Proof of vaccination will also be required to travel by plane, train and long-distance bus. The new COVID vaccine requirements come as only 16 percent of Ukraine’s adults are fully vaccinated, allowing the rapid spread of the virus and stressing the overworked health care system....

Not being in the scheme of things for India in white-ball cricket and a back up in red-ball cricket, Yadav basically will have no cricket to play after IPL. This lack of game time that he has been getting over the past couple of years has unsettled him a bit. “Workload management is a balance that you strike when you are constantly playing matches. In my case, it’s been the opposite....

Lo Duca, whose 11-year career ended in 2008, told a story on a podcast in May in which he alleged that former Mets teammate Billy Wagner told him that he would bribe West by letting him drive his vintage car, in exchange for a wider strike zone. Wagner saved 101 games and made two All-Star appearances with the Mets from 2006-2009. According to USA Today, Lo Duca said Wagner told him, “Joe loves antique cars so every time he comes into town I lend him my ’57 Chevy so he can drive it around so then he opens up the strike zone for me....

Bisping is about a -300 favorite, with Le getting +250 odds on the takeback. While Bisping (25-6) has won just three of his last six fights, he could still make his way back into the middleweight title picture with a strong showing in this fight. His last bout was a lackluster performance against Tim Kennedy in April, in what should have been a been pretty easy win for “The Count”....

Souza is a -300 favorite, with Mousasi getting about +250 odds as the underdog. Souza, now 34, seems to be finding his peak form lately, as he is on a six-fight win streak with impressive wins over Yushin Okami and Ed Herman in that stretch. A win for Souza (20-3) could easily put him in the conversation for a title shot some time next year. His last loss was to Luke Rockhold back in 2011, when he relinquished his Strikeforce middleweight title....

There are around “5,000 Russian troops encircled in Lyman” according to Serhii Cherevatyi, spokesperson for Ukraine’s eastern forces, although this number was only an estimate and could be lower because of casualties. He said that the nearby settlements of Yampil, Novoselivka, Shandrygolovo, Drobysheve, Stavky “have been liberated, and stabilization measures are ongoing there.” “This is also a psychologically important moment,” he said, according to RBC Ukraine via a translation, adding that Ukrainian troops are “beginning to dictate their will” and “turn the tide of hostilities,” and were not just “on the defensive....

Four High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) will be included in a coming $625 million military aid package for Ukraine, Reuters and Associated Press (AP) reported Monday. The additional HIMARS come as the Biden administration looks to shore up Ukraine’s long-term defense after it successfully used HIMARS in recent advances against Russia.

Irynka Vasilyeva has raised enough money to buy the Ukrainian army two vehicles and two thermal imaging goggles, and now she dreams of making enough to give them American-made Javelin missiles, planes and tanks. Her dad, Senior Lieutenant Oleksandr Vasilyev, of the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade, also known as the 14th Mechanized Brigade and named after Prince Roman the Great, died in combat in the Mykolaiv region, in southern Ukraine, on Sunday, March 27....

The highlight of the match was when Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov Came had his 93rd minute goal disallowed after he was found blocking the opposition team goalkeeper Matus Kozacik whilst scoring the equaliser. Had Pyatov went for the ball instead of jumping into Kozacik directly, the goal would have stood. Ukraine head-coach Mykhaylo Fomenko was however unhappy with the decision. “We scored a fair goal in the end and I was surprised the referee cancelled it,” said Fomenko later....
