What Russia's latest military offensive means for Ukraine
Saturday, 18 May 2024 NPR's Scott Simon talks with strategic studies professor Phillips O'Brien of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland about the significance of Russia's latest military offensive in Ukraine.
Several US allies within NATO are “inching closer” to sending troops into Ukraine to train its armed forces, the New York Times has reported. A US top general said sending military trainers” to participate in the War in Ukraine was “inevitable.”
India maintained a neutral stance on the Ukraine conflict resolution efforts at the recent "peace summit" in Switzerland. While attending the opening and closing sessions, India did not endorse any outcome document. India believes only "sincere and practical engagement" between Russia and Ukraine can lead to a resolution through dialogue and diplomacy. India will continue engaging both sides to contribute towards an early and lasting peace, asserting that solutions must be acceptable to both parties involved in the conflict.

American Airlines Is Sued for Discrimination , After Removing Black Men From Flight.
Three Black men filed a lawsuit against
the airline on May 29, NPR reports.
The men allege that they and five
other Black men were subjected to
"blatant and egregious racial discrimination"...
... when they were removed from
a flight in January "without any valid
reason, based solely on their race.".
The eight men reportedly did not know one another and weren't seated by each other on the flight. .
The lawsuit claims that an American Airlines representative singled out each of the men, asking them to leave the plane and book another flight.
In fact, once they reached the jet bridge,
they saw that several other Black men were
also being removed from the plane. In fact,
it appeared to Plaintiffs that American had
ordered all of the Black male passengers
on Flight 832 off the plane, Via lawsuit.
Later, the men discovered that they had been removed from the plane because a passenger complained about body odor, although none of them were approached about body odor. .
When the men told another American
Airlines staff member that they were being
racially targeted, the employee said she
"did not disagree," the lawsuit claims.
Ultimately, the passengers re-boarded the flight because there were no other flights available to their destination that evening.
Plaintiffs then had to re-board the plane
and endure the stares of the largely
white passengers who viewed them
as the cause of the substantial delay. , Via lawsuit.
They suffered during the entire
flight home, and the entire incident
was traumatic, upsetting, scary,
humiliating and degrading, Via lawsuit.
American Airlines is "currently
investigating the matter, as the claims do
not reflect" the company's "core values."

Experts say there is often no perfect choice, and the idea that one may exist could prevent you from choosing at all. Trust yourself.
Limit Your Options .

yourself less room to choose.
