In Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyyâs first in-person appearance at a UN Security Council meeting on Moscowâs invasion of his country, he told a special meeting that the Russian veto has rendered the world body âineffectiveâ. Zelenskyy said that the United Nations was at a dead end regarding aggressions and suggested Russia be stripped of its veto right as one of five permanent members of the post-World War II Security Council as punishment for attacking Ukraine. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sided with the US and blamed Russia for weaponizing hunger. Russiaâs Sergei Lavrov responded. Watch here.

Hurricane Idalia plowed into Floridaâs Gulf Coast on Wednesday with howling winds, torrential rains and pounding surf, then weakened as it turned its fury on south-eastern Georgia, where floodwaters trapped some residents in their homes. The powerful storm, which the National Hurricane Center (NHC) called "an unprecedented event", made landfall shortly after daybreak with 160mph gusts near Keaton Beach on Floridaâs Gulf coast. Idalia grew from a tropical storm into a hurricane early on Tuesday, a day after passing west of Cuba, where it damaged homes and flooded villages. In Florida, it pushed inland a storm surge of up to 16ft, submerging small coastal communities and setting record high water levels across a wide area stretching 200 miles south to Tampa.
