Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick says net migration is āfar too highā after newly published figures for 2022 showed around 606,000 more people are estimated to have moved to the UK than have left. The Office for National Statistics said factors contributing to relatively high levels of immigration over the past 18 months include people coming to the UK from non-EU countries for work, study, and for humanitarian purposes, including those arriving from Ukraine and Hong Kong.

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburgās city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prisonā¦a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China.

In a major development, Russia has accused Kyiv of carrying ot cross-border sabotage in the Belgorod region. Kyiv has denied these accusations by saying that the groups responsible for the attacks donāt follow their ordersā¦and they act on their own. Two groups have claimed responsibility for this cross-border raidsā¦.The Freedom of Russia Legionā¦and the Russian Volunteer Corps. Both have said that they had carried out the attacks and liberated a settlement in the region.The Free Russia legion was formed in March 2022. Reportedly, its first members were soldiers who had defected from the Russian military shortly after Moscow launched its massive, unprovoked Ukrainian invasion on February 24 last year. In their manifesto, they describe themselves as free citizens of Russia who take responsibility for themselves and are beginning to fight for a New Russia. The exact number of fighters in the organization is still a secret, but it is speculated that figures are as high as up to 4,000.

A group of anti-Putin Russian nationals ā who are aligned with the Ukrainian army ā has claimed responsibility for an attack in Russianās southwestern region of Belgorodā¦as Moscow said it was fighting a group of saboteurs there. Shelling damaged an administrative building, several residential buildings, and a kindergarten in the area, according to Belgorodās regional governor who said there were no fatalities. In a Telegram post, groups calling themselves the āFreedom of Russia Legionā and āRussian Volunteer Corpsā said they had āliberatedā a settlement in the Belgorod region, which borders Ukraine. Ukraine has disavowed connection to the Russian partisan fighters, saying that they act independently and are not subject to military control. The Freedom of Russia Legion, which describes itself as an anti-Kremlin militia seeking to liberate Russia from Vladimir Putin, said it had crossed the border and overrun the settlement of Kozinka, while sending units into the town of Grayvoron in Russiaās Belgorod region. Another anti-Kremlin militia, the Russian Volunteer Corps, which is led by a prominent Russian nationalist, also said it had taken part in the raid.

Activists have criticized leaders' decision to support
construction of new liquefied natural gas infrastructure,
facilitating the use of a planet-warming fossil fuel.
The G7 said that "investment in the sector can be appropriate in
response to the current crisis and to address potential gas
market shortfalls provoked" by Russia's attack on Ukraine.
In the exceptional circumstance
of accelerating the phase-out of our
dependency on Russian energy, publicly
supported investment in the gas sector
can be appropriate as a temporary response, G7 statement, via NBC.
According to Greenpeace's Tracy Carty,
support for new infrastructure for fossil fuel
"is a blunt denial of the climate emergency.".
Fossil gas is one of the most polluting
forms of energy and in its liquefied form,
its carbon emissions can be as bad as coal, Tracy Carty, Greenpeace representative, via NBC.
Meanwhile, Friederike Roeder of the campaign
group Global Citizen suggests that Germany's role
in the G7 talks were "particularly disappointing.".

The EUās role in international climate
diplomacy is critical but if Germany,
as the biggest member state, continues
to focus its negotiation power on new
gas investments rather than leading
the way for a future free of
fossil fuels, this wonāt be possible, Friederike Roeder, Global Citizen representative, via NBC.
NBC reports that G7 leaders also expressed
support for the roll-out of renewable power
generation and other energy saving measures
