- The dust has settled on the 2024 Russian presidential election and, unsurprisingly, the incumbent Vladimir Putin has secured another six-year term at the pinnacle of his country’s politics.
Recording a crushing voting percentage of nearly 88 per cent, Vladimir Vladimirovich echoes prior fraudulent winning margins recorded by the likes of Saddam Hussein.
Closing in on leadership tenure records held by Catherine the Great and Ivan the Terrible, Putin has secured his base of power and will likely now push on with unpopular policies to support the Ukraine war, such as increased mobilisation of troops.

- Vladimir Putin has broken his silence on the death of Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader who died in an Arctic prison last month.
Speaking at his campaign headquarters after claiming a landslide victory in Russia’s sham elections, the Russian president claimed he was prepared to exchange Navalny, describing the opposition leader’s death as a “sad event”.
“Concerning Mr Navalny. Yes, he passed away, it’s always a sad event,” said Putin. He added that “a few days” before Navalny died, he had been approached by colleagues with the idea of trading the Russian dissident in a prisoner exchange with Western countries.
“I said: ‘I agree. Only on one condition: we’ll exchange him so that he does not return,’” he said.

- Description
- The recent capture of MV Abdullah, carrying 55,000 tonnes of coal from Mozambique to the United Arab Emirates, comes after the seizure of the Maltese-flagged bulk cargo ship Ruen in December.
That was the first successful hijacking involving Somali pirates since 2017, who back in their heyday from 2005 captured dozens of ships in a campaign estimated to have cost world trade several billions of dollars.
Up to £325 million ($413 million) was taken in ransom between 2005 and 2012, according to the World Bank, and at the height of the crisis pirates were holding 32 vessels and 736 hostages.
This dangerous resurgence has been sparked by the rise of Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, which has diverted naval resources.

- A ship, arranged by the World Central Kitchen (WCK) charity, is carrying nearly 200 tonnes of aid to be delivered via a jetty being prepared in Gaza, with a second ship expected to sail soon.
Floating on a barge attached by rope to a salvage ship, rough seas appeared to slow down the cargo reaching land, footage posted by a WCK official on social media showed.
WCK have been constructing a makeshift jetty which would allow the flat-bottomed barge to approach Gaza's shallow waters for lack of proper port infrastructure.

- Moment rare Rothschild's giraffe is born at Chester Zoo

- Description
- Conservationists at Chester Zoo are celebrating as the incredible moment a rare Rothschild's giraffe is born was caught live on CCTV cameras.
Footage shows the rare Rothschild’s giraffe calf, who already weighs 70kg and stands at six foot tall, falling onto a bed of soft straw before stumbling to its feet for the very first time.
Tens of thousands of Rothschild’s giraffes were once found in Kenya, Uganda and Sudan. However their population has suffered a 90% decline - leaving just 2,500 in the wild. The good news is, the population is now starting to bounce back thanks to decades of conservation efforts from the zoo and its partners.

- Description
- Terrified New York City commuters were left trapped in a carriage with a live shooter when a fight got out of control on Thursday during rush hour.
The shooting, which left one man in critical condition after being shot in the head, occurred around 4:45pm when a 32-year-old man was confronted by an "aggressive" 36-year-old rider after boarding the train.
The shooting is the latest incident in a series of high-profile assaults on commuters and transit workers on New York City subways that have left three dead this year alone.
Just over a week ago Kathy Hochul, New York's Democratic Governor, deployed 750 national guard members to the subway network in an attempt to crack down on crime.
The rush hour incident started as a verbal dispute between the passengers but escalated quickly into a fight as the train left Nostrand Avenue station in Brooklyn.

- Description
- To mark the two-year anniversary of Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine, The Telegraph was given exclusive access with some of the most powerful figures in President Zelensky’s administration.
Today Francis Dearnley talks to Oleksiy Danilov, the overarching coordinator of the country's war cabinet. A former veterinarian, he was the youngest ever mayor of Luhansk from 1994-1997, now annexed by Russia. Danilov is one of the country's most senior security officials, and rarely gives interviews.
But if there’s any man in Kyiv whose job it is to hold the entire conflict in his head at all times – from the battlefront, to domestic political intrigue, to rallying international support – it’s him.
