The government’s plea came as officials continue to resist reinstating health restrictions, like mandatory masking, and cases topped 49,000 in Britain on Wednesday. Health Secretary Sajid Javid said during a news conference that Britain’s government will “stay vigilant, preparing for all eventualities,” but does not yet plan to enact Plan B and reimpose the restrictions. Since rescinding the rules, the U.K. has largely looked to COVID-19 vaccines as its main avenue of protection from the virus....

Olena Zelenska, Ukraine’s first lady, tells citizens in the city: “Please hold on, dear people, I beg you. " In Kyiv, shelling that struck a shopping mall has reportedly left eight dead....

Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s top military leader, and Mykhailo Zabrodskyi, a lawmaker, detailed the plans in an article published Wednesday by state news agency Ukrinform, amid renewed calls for Ukraine to retake the region that was annexed by Russia in 2014.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal published Saturday, Oleksiy Arestovych said there is “no rush” to take back the city and that when it comes to targeting the Russians, the Ukrainian forces are seeking “to uncover their operational logistical supply system and destroy it with artillery and [HIMARS].” HIMARs, or High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, have been provided to Ukraine by the United States in recent months as a tool for combating Russia on the battlefield....

The Brazilian midfielder left the field in tears after reacting to the abuse in Sunday’s game by showing an obscene gesture and kicking the ball in the direction of Dynamo’s fans.

World players’ union FIFPro and anti-discrimination campaigners have called for that card to be rescinded. Police in the city of Kharkiv, where Shakhtar plays, said on Tuesday they have opened criminal proceedings on allegations of “violation of citizens’ equality” due to race, nationality, religion or disability....

Finally, there is good news as far the Indian bowling attack is concerned. For the upcoming tour of South Africa, Umesh Yadav has made a comeback after a long spell out due to injuries. In fact, it was expected that he would be chosen for the Test matches, but the management has imposed faith in his capabilities and he has been included in the ODI squad as well. His selection was imperative – keeping in view the recent poor performance of our regular bowlers, especially Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma and R Ashwin....
