A man fled Cheshire police on an illegal e-scooter and left his dog behind. Unfortunately for him, his dog knew the way home and led officers straight to his address.

Russians destroyed his van - the only way the family was able to earn money. This video is one more proof that the Russian army deliberately attacks Ukrainian civilians. Each of them - those giving out orders, launching the drones or pushing the buttons - must answer for their crimes.

Ukraine and the world have seen horrifying footage from Kherson today - a Russian drone hunting down a civilian. This person is Mr. Yurii, he sells vegetables. At about 6.30 a.m., Mr. Yurii was putting out the produce by the market, as he does every day⤵️

When I was small, my father held a knife to my mom’s throat as I screamed and scratched at his legs. Later she made dinner, because refusing to do so would have been worse. That was a few days before we left in the night, her bleeding, me silent. It was the worst night of my life. And the best.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
