Amid Russian forces' aggressive approach in eastern Ukraine, the United States President Joe Biden on Monday (May 30) said that he would not send rocket systems to Ukraine that can reach Russia. While speaking to reporters after arriving back at the White House after a weekend in Delaware, "Biden said, "We are not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that can strike into Russia."&nbsp;

"There's a constitution. I can't dictate this stuff. I can do the things I've done, and any executive action I can take I continue to take, but I can't outlaw a weapon, I can't change the background checks. I can't do that, and you know, my whole career I've been doing it," he added.&nbsp;

In the east, the Russian forces have advanced closer to the centre of the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk. The city has been under bombardment for weeks. Lugansk governor Sergiy Gaiday said on Telegram: "The Russians are advancing into the middle of Severodonetsk. The fighting continues. The situation is very difficult."&nbsp;

Importantly, Severodonetsk is the easternmost city still in Ukrainian hands. It has been understood that capturing it would give Russia de-facto control over Lugansk, one of two eastern regions that make up the coveted Donbas.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky multiple times urged Western countries to supply advanced weapons to face Russia after it invaded Ukraine on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin in late February.&nbsp;

A man in Beijing is facing a criminal investigation after he reportedly breached compulsory home isolation and later tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19). On Sunday (May 29), officials said that the man in his 40s did not follow the requirement to isolate. The man, who is surnamed Sun, was asked to stay at home after he visited a shopping centre considered high-risk.&nbsp;Not just that, he has landed thousands of his neighbours in quarantine as more than 5,000 people nearby have been asked to stay at home to stay a government quarantine.&nbsp;

Due to an alarming Covid outbreak, the Chinese capital has ordered hundreds of thousands of residents to stay home over the last five weeks. The decision was taken to curb the recent spread of the deadly virus.&nbsp;

Beijing public security official Pan Xuhong noted as quoted by news agency AFP, "During the home isolation period he... went out many times and walked in the neighbourhood."&nbsp;

Apart from Sun, his wife also tested positive. The results prompted authorities to lock down 5,000 of their neighbours at home. As per reports, 250 were moved to a government quarantine centre.&nbsp;

The news is frustrating for those who have been ordered to quartine as virus restrictions started to ease in Beijing. Authorities are re-opening parks, museums and cinemas and declaring the outbreak under control.&nbsp;

Thousands forced to quarantine after Beijing man breaks COVID-19 rules

Brazil flood: Death toll reaches 57, thousands displaced

To attract the "brightest and best" early in their careers, the United Kingdom will offer work visas to graduates from the world's best universities, including India. The move is said to be the expansion of the UK's post-Brexit immigration system. Under a new visa scheme, graduates from the world's top 50 non-UK universities can now come and work in the country through a new High Potential Individual (HPI) visa route, which was launched in London on Monday (May 30). Notably, applicants must have been awarded degrees not more than five years before the date of application. Rishi Sunak, who is the finance minister of the UK, mentioned that such policies would help the country to grow as an international hub for innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.&nbsp;

To be applicable for the same, a person must have graduated with a bachelor's or master's degree from the top 50 universities, which appeared in the top 50 of at least two of the following: Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings or The Academic Ranking of World Universities. The appearance in the top 50 must be in the year in which they graduated.&nbsp;

The applicants can opt for a two-year work visa and those who receive doctorates can apply for a three-year visa. It is mentioned that they will be allowed to bring family members with them. The government said that the successful applicants will then be able to switch to longer-term employment visas.&nbsp;

Sunak said, "We want the businesses of tomorrow to be built here today - which is why I call on students to take advantage of this incredible opportunity to forge their careers here."&nbsp;

Meanwhile, international students, including Indians, who are studying in the UK at any of the top universities are already eligible to stay for up to three years through the Graduate visa "popularly referred to as a post-study work visa" opened in July last year, India-based news agency PTI reported.&nbsp;

The Guardian cited a survey to report that international students would be more likely to "consider studying in the UK if they were allowed to stay and work for three years instead of two".&nbsp;

The report added that such an extension would be especially appealing to Indian students. It was also noted that the number of Indian students choosing to study in the UK fell dramatically after the abolition of the two-year post-study work visa in 2012. The numbers have quadrupled since it was reinstated, which is a huge difference.&nbsp;

Post-Brexit scenario&nbsp;

Since leaving European Union (EU), Britain has ended the priority given to EU citizens. The nation has introduced a points-based immigration system that ranks applicants on everything from their qualifications and language skills to the type of job offered to them.&nbsp;

But the country has faced a tight labour market for several years, which has gotten worse due to Brexit and COVID-19.&nbsp;

The companies in manufacturing, logistics and the food sector have urged the government to loosen the rules for entry-level jobs.&nbsp;

But the country has faced a tight labour market for several years, which has gotten worse due to Brexit and COVID-19.

Two&nbsp;people were&nbsp;injured&nbsp;following an explosion in the Moscow-controlled city of&nbsp;Melitopol&nbsp;in southeastern&nbsp;Ukraine, local pro-Kremlin authorities said on Monday, blaming Kyiv.

Russian troops took control of the city in the Zaporizhzhia region in the early days of Moscow's military campaign in&nbsp;Ukraine, but were met with fierce resistance.

"This morning there was a terrorist attack aimed at destabilising the peaceful life of the city,"&nbsp;Melitopol's Russia-installed authorities said on Telegram.&nbsp;

According to the statement, a car packed with explosives blew up in the city centre, injuring&nbsp;two&nbsp;"humanitarian aid" volunteers, a 28-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man.

"The Ukrainian government continues its war on the civilian population and the infrastructure of cities," the statement said, adding that an investigation was underway.&nbsp;

Clouds of black smoke were visible in the city on Monday morning. The&nbsp;blast&nbsp;shook the windows and walls of nearby buildings, Vladimir Rogov, a Russia-appointed official in&nbsp;Melitopol, said on Telegram.&nbsp;

In another sign that Moscow is looking to maintain a long-term presence in parts of&nbsp;Ukraine&nbsp;controlled by its troops, Russian investigators said they would be looking into the&nbsp;blast.&nbsp;

Russia's Investigative Committee "will identify the persons involved in committing this crime in order to bring the perpetrators to justice," it said in a statement.&nbsp;

According to its information, the&nbsp;blast&nbsp;"organised by Ukrainian saboteurs" took place during the distribution of humanitarian aid near a residential building.&nbsp;

Bayard Steed, a historic parade that featured four children riding a giant horse, returned to the streets of Dendermonde as tens of thousands of people flocked to the Belgian town on Sunday (May 29).

Bayard Steed, a historic parade that featured four children riding a giant horse, returned to the streets of Dendermonde as tens of thousands of people flocked to the Belgian town on Sunday (May 29). As media reports mentioned, Dendermonde, the town of the Bayard Steed, is apparently the only place in the world where the heroic horse is the central theme of the colourful parade. It is a pageant with roots in medieval Europe. The unique parade is usually enacted every ten years but due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it was postponed twice. Known as the 'Bayard Steed', the 4.85-meter-tall wooden figure carried by 12 men had not been shown in public for 12 years. Its last appearance was on May 30, 2010. WATCH | Man disguised as old lady smears cake on Mona Lisa painting The director of the town museums of Dendermonde, Carolien Van Hecke explained that are twelve men who carry the horse and there are three teams of them. She mentioned that they change because the horse is quite heavy. With all the ornaments, the horse weighs 1,000 kilograms. The horse is 5.2 meters long and made out of wood, iron and other material. It arrived at the town's central square and pranced towards its assailants. According to a police count, some 86,000 thousand onlookers witnessed the one-tonne statue crossing the Flemish city. It was 'dancing' to the rhythm of a marching band, accompanied by giant figures, acrobats and some 2,000 actors in historical costumes. The kids dressed as medieval knights.

The parade was enlisted in 2008 on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and will take place again in 2030. Watch the video here: × What is the story?

Belgium: Giant 'dancing' horse, cute medieval knights as historic Bayard Steed parade returns after 12 years

The United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson faced fresh calls of resignation after senior civil servant Sue Gray released her report on the numerous parties in Downing Street. The report revealed that Johnson had participated in the gatherings, that were banned (or limited) across the country during the coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown. The Partygate scandal has caused trouble for the Johnson government for enjoying wine and cheese parties when people in the country were suffering due to Covid. Behaviour at the heart of government is under intense scrutiny. Now, in the latest development, local media outlets have reported that some changes were believed to be made to the details of the report.&nbsp;

In a report on May 29 by Sunday Times, it was claimed that three senior civil servants lobbied Sue Gray not to publish some names of those attending lockdown parties.&nbsp;

Permanent secretary Samantha Jones, Simon Case, the cabinet secretary and Alex Chisholm, the permanent secretary in the Cabinet Office were named by the paper.&nbsp;

Apart from the removal of names, media reports also stated that an alleged "Abba party" in the No10 flat was removed from the report. A claim that has been denied by No10 that the report was "changed by No10" in its final stages.&nbsp;

However, it has been understood that Downing Street admitted that an official saw parts of the report before publication. As quoted by media reports, a No10 source said: "It is untrue any- one on the political side saw anything in advance or sought to influence it."&nbsp;

The report has claimed that a draft of the report had "referred to music being played from Boris and Carrie Johnson's Downing Street flat on November 13, 2020". Some of the crucial details have been said to be missing in the final report, which was apparently there in the draft.&nbsp;

The United States Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday (May 28) said 'enough is enough' and called for an assault weapons ban in the country. She attended the funeral of 86-year-old Ruth Whitfield, who was killed two weeks ago during the Buffalo supermarket shooting. Her comments come days after another mass shooting shocked the country. Recently, an 18-year-old gunman entered an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. He opened fire, killing two teachers and 19 children.&nbsp;

Harris said, "What happened here in Buffalo, in Texas, in Atlanta, in Orlando, what happened in the synagogues, this is a moment that requires all good people, all people who love God, to stand up and say, 'We will not tolerate this. Enough is enough!'"&nbsp;

"We will come together and not let those people, who are motivated by hate, drive us apart or make us afraid," she added. Harris spoke after Reverend Al Sharpton asked her to reflect on mass shootings during the past several years and said the US is experiencing "an epidemic of hate."&nbsp;

The recent mass shootings in the United States have reignited the debate over gun control, especially the Texas shooting, where small children died. The Texas shooting is the worst shooting at an elementary school since the 2012 Sandy Hook attack in Connecticut. At that time, 20 children and six staff were killed.&nbsp;

"We will not let those people who are motivated by hate to separate us or make us feel fear," Harris said at the funeral.&nbsp;

She also urged US lawmakers to take action on guns. "Congress must have the courage to stand up, once and for all, to the gun lobby and pass reasonable gun safety laws," Harris tweeted.

Andrei Kelin, the Russian ambassador in the United Kingdom told BBC that Moscow will not use "tactical nuclear" weapons during its invasion of Ukraine. On President Vladimir Putin's orders, the Russian armed forces started the invasion of Ukraine on February 24 this year. The invasion - the Russia-Ukraine war - has caused a tectonic shift in global politics. Several times, Russia has claimed that its aim to "demilitarise" the neighbouring country is going as per plan. Nuclear warnings have been issued from the Russian side. In March, Dmitry Polyanskiy, who is a Russian Deputy Ambassador to the UN, had warned NATO countries that they are dealing with nuclear power and should not threaten Moscow. Such comments have been made quite a few times. ALSO READ | Russia is considering allowing cryptocurrency for international payments: Report Meanwhile, Kelin recently highlighted Russian military rules, that state such weapons are not used in conflicts like this one - the Ukraine war. He further stated that Russia has very strict provisions for their use. He said that such weapons are used mainly when the state's existence is threatened. He told BBC's Sunday Morning, "It has nothing to do with the current operation." While explaining the "tactical nuclear weapons", the media report noted that such weapons can be used at relatively short distances, as "opposed to strategic nuclear weapons".

Russia's ambassador in Britain says Moscow won't use 'tactical nuclear weapons' in Ukraine: Report

After UEFA Champions League heartache, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said that he has a "strong feeling" that the Reds will come again. Klopp hailed the team despite Liverpool's 0-1 loss to Real Madrid in the UCL final clash in Paris, France on Saturday (May 28). Confident Klopp also told the Liverpool fans to "book the hotel" for next year's Champions League final in Istanbul.&nbsp;The UCL loss means Liverpool are finishing the season having won the FA Cup and League Cup.&nbsp;

During the high-octane match, Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior scored just before the hour - the only goal in the match. On the other hand, Madrid's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made several fine saves to deny Liverpool.&nbsp;

"I have a strong feeling we will come again. The boys are competitive. We will have an outstanding group next season. Where's it [the final] next season? Istanbul? Book the hotel,"&nbsp;said Klopp.&nbsp;

Despite the loss, the German hailed the team in the post-match press conference. He said, "These boys played an outstanding season. The two competitions we couldn’t win, we didn't win for the smallest possible margin. One point [Premier League], 1-0."&nbsp;

While praising Courtois, Klopp said, "When the goalkeeper is man of the match, then something is wrong, or going wrong for the other team, so we had I think three really big chances where (Thibaut) Courtois made incredible saves."&nbsp;

Liverpool had won the previous European Cup final both teams had played in Paris, winning 1-0 at the Parc des Princes in 1981, which was Real's last defeat in a final.&nbsp;

"In the dressing room nobody feels it was a great season at the moment. We maybe need a few hours for that. We played a good game, not a perfect game. The boys tried everything, especially at 1-0 down then we played like we wanted to play before," Klopp said on BT Sport.&nbsp;

Klopp hailed the team despite Liverpool's 0-1 loss to Real Madrid in the UCL final clash in Paris, France on Saturday (May 28). Confident Klopp also told the Liverpool fans to "book the hotel" for next year's Champions League final in Istanbul. The UCL loss means Liverpool are finishing the season having won the FA Cup and League Cup. During the high-octane match, Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior scored just before the hour - the only goal in the match. On the other hand, Madrid's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made several fine saves to deny Liverpool. "I have a strong feeling we will come again. The boys are competitive. We will have an outstanding group next season. Where's it [the final] next season? Istanbul? Book the hotel," said Klopp. ALSO READ | Real Madrid vs Liverpool pre-match chaos: Fans pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed; kick-off was delayed - Watch Despite the loss, the German hailed the team in the post-match press conference. He said, "These boys played an outstanding season. The two competitions we couldn’t win, we didn't win for the smallest possible margin. One point [Premier League], 1-0." While praising Courtois, Klopp said, "When the goalkeeper is man of the match, then something is wrong, or going wrong for the other team, so we had I think three really big chances where (Thibaut) Courtois made incredible saves."

The boys tried everything, especially at 1-0 down then we played like we wanted to play before," Klopp said on BT Sport.
