The UK-based oil company said on Monday it would dump its 27.5% stake in the Sakhalin-2 liquefied natural gas facility, a 50% stake in the Salim deposit development project in Western Siberia and a 50% stake in the project. for research in the Gidan Peninsula in northwestern Siberia.
“We are shocked by the loss of life in Ukraine, which we regret as a result of a senseless act of military aggression that threatens European security.” Shell(RDSA) CEO Ben van Beurden said in a statement.
Shell’s move follows BP(BP) announced on Sunday that it was abandoning one of Russia’s largest foreign investments, leaving its 19.75% stake in Rosneft and related joint ventures. Analysts said Monday that BP could suffer a blow of more than $ 26 billion as it withdraws from its business in the country.
Shell earned about $ 700 million in 2021 from the Sakhalin-Salim joint ventures. Its interests in Russia were estimated at about $ 3 billion at the end of the year, and the company said abandoning Gazprom’s projects would likely lead to impairment charges.
“Our decision to leave is what we accept with conviction,” van Beurden said. “We cannot – and will not – stand aside.
The company was one of five that provided 50% of the financing and guarantees for the estimated cost of 9.5 billion euros ($ 10.6 billion) for the construction of the Gazprom Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany. The project was effectively halted last week when German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the country would suspend certification of the pipeline.
Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor will also start leaving its joint ventures in Russia, the company said in a statement on Monday.
“We are all deeply concerned about the invasion of Ukraine, which is a terrible obstacle to the world,” said Anders Opedale, president and CEO of Equinor.
The company said it had $ 1.2 billion in long-term investments in Russia at the end of 2021. It has been operating in Russia for more than 30 years and has a cooperation agreement with Rosneft.
French oil giant TotalEnergies(TTFNF) on Tuesday, condemned Russia’s actions and said it would no longer provide capital for new projects in the country. TotalEnergies has been doing business in Russia for 25 years and recently helped launch a major liquefied natural gas project on the Siberian coast.
Other European energy companies continue to be present in Russia, including France’s other Nord Stream 2 partners Engie(ENGIY)Austria OMV(OMVJF)the German Wintershall Dea and Uniper, as well as the Italian ones ENI(E).
ExxonMobil(XOM), which has been active there for more than 25 years, reduced its presence after Russia annexed crime in 2014. But its subsidiary, Exxon Neftegas Limited, still has a 30% stake in Sakhalin-1, a huge oil and gas project. , located near the island of Sakhalin in the Far East of Russia. He has been managing the project since 1995 on behalf of a consortium that includes Japanese and Indian partners, as well as two Rosneft subsidiaries.

Not only did Syracuse not cover. That is, there was never a danger of not covering up, to overtime.
Syracuse was an outsider with 8 or 8.5 points at BetMGM against North Carolina on Monday night and almost won straight. Somehow, Orange didn’t cover the spread.
There are bad beats from garden varieties like the pointless 3-pointer that goes into the buzzer, but the worst type of beat can be having a healthy outsider play well for two halves and then somehow not covering overtime. Syracuse bettors know.
The Oranges took a 9-0 lead to start the match and while UNC made a few series after that, the Syracuse bettors had to feel good until the end of the second half. North Carolina hit with 3 points, remaining 11 seconds to take the lead with 2 points. If he had missed, Orange would probably be covering (and UNC would probably be on the wrong side of the NCAA tournament bubble, but that’s a different conversation). Syracuse then rushed down and struck a nice blow to level it. The Orange bettors at this point found themselves in a strange place in the hope that Syracuse missed this shot and lost by 2, covering the spread. However, having 8 or 8.5 points in your pocket is usually good for overtime and especially after how well Syracuse plays.
On the other hand, experienced bettors probably knew exactly what was coming.
The sequels began and everything went to hell. UNC hit the first four shots at OT to take a 9-point lead. Cole Swider from Syracuse, who was great with 36 points, fouled. The Oranges did not commit a foul in the last minute to prolong the game. A late turnaround from North Carolina, when it increased by 88-79, gave life to bettors in Syracuse. It’s not like North Carolina trying so hard to defend.
Then, with 10.4 seconds left, a long orange pass was a long way off. Brutal. UNC dribbled the time and won by 9, somehow covering the spread.
The good news is that Syracuse bettors are unlikely to have as bad a hit in March. Hopefully though.

The boy, who, like other classmates, did not want to be named, said that in the early days of the pandemic, he heard that guys on the street were stealing cars to make some money. Then, according to him, young people began to do this, first jumping into cars that were standing unattended and unattended, and just driving around. Videos of these trips around the city began to appear on social networks.
Soon, “car theft became a sport,” said one of the community organizers. “Big van,” said another.
“The thrill is almost like a fad,” said Waris Majid. “When you don’t have events in their communities, everything is closed, young people will find a way to have fun. It’s a vacation, that’s what it is.”
The notion that crime comes in and out of fashion is not new. In the early 2000s, some youths in Washington began stealing cars, calling themselves “UU Boys” after being convicted of “unauthorized use of a vehicle”. Then, according to Eduardo Ferrer, policy director for the Georgetown Juvenile Justice Initiative, car theft began to plummet and mobile phone theft began to spread.
“Throughout my career it has been interesting to see how the composition of crime changes with no apparent explanation,” said Professor Ferrer. “Some of them are crimes of opportunity, people are looking for such low-hanging fruits.”
It is clear, he said, that the long-term impact of the lonely and traumatic years of the pandemic on adolescent development cannot be overestimated. While schools are returning to face-to-face instruction and recreation centers are reopening, that impact — and the rise in car theft — has not gone away.
“I don’t think people are ready for how much we will have to dig up and treat for a pandemic,” Professor Ferrer said.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has put Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in the spotlight, with many praising the 44-year-old man as a “true leader.”
Zelensky was elected in 2019, but before becoming President of Ukraine, he was a successful artist.
Zelenski initially received a law degree from the Krivoy Rog Institute of Economics, but instead of working in politics or law, he chose the entertainment industry. Until 2010, Zelensky was one of the best artists in Ukraine, with a career focused primarily on comedy.
In 2003, Zelenski’s production company, Quarter 95, began producing television shows.
The Ukrainian president is best known for the role he received in 2015, where he actually participated as President of Ukraine. In “Servant of the People” he plays Vasil Petrovich Kholoborodko. The storyline follows a schoolteacher whose policy scandal goes viral and puts him in the lead.
STEVEN SEAGLE SPEAKS AMONG RUSSIAN LOCATION IN UKRAINE: “I LOOK AT BOTH AS ONE FAMILY”
Zelensky launched his candidacy for Ukrainian president after the success of “Servant of the People”. The political party he leads is even named after the hit series. The political party “Servant of the People” was established in 2017 and registered in 2018.
In addition to his role in “Servant of the People”, Zelensky voiced the famous Peruvian bear Paddington in the Ukrainian version of “Paddington” and “Paddington 2”, confirmed by StudioCanal to The Hollywood Reporter.

Prior to his success with Paddington and Servant of the People, the former comedian starred in the Ukrainian version of Dancing with the Stars in 2006, and the president even won the competition. Since then, a video of Zelenski dancing on the show has gone viral.
In addition, Zelenski has won credits for numerous productions, including “Servant of the People 2” and “8 First Meetings”. In addition to acting and directing, the Ukrainian president has eight credits as a writer, according to IMDb.
Zelensky was elected to power in Ukraine in 2019. He promoted his presidential campaign online and went on a comedy tour, during which he mocked his opponents. Zelenski won about 72% of the vote, according to the Central Election Commission.

TOKYO, March 1 – Toshiba Corp. (6502.T) said on Tuesday that CEO Satoshi Tsunakawa had resigned, a sudden departure after sources said revised restructuring plans sparked opposition to the company. in addition to the long-standing anger of shareholders.
However, the new interim CEO Taro Shimada said the company would continue to follow its current break-up plan as it was approved by the board.
Initial plans announced last year by the scandalous conglomerate to split into three have been widely criticized by foreign hedge fund shareholders – many of whom support the sale of a private investment company. But last month’s revised plan, which called for the break-up of two companies and the sale of other businesses, also met with internal disagreement, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

There were concerns within Toshiba that the planned sale of units such as the elevator business would leave the company with only low-margin businesses, said sources who were not authorized to speak to the media and declined to be identified.
Asked about the internal opposition, Toshiba said she firmly believed that its announced reorganization plan was the best option for the company, but declined to comment further.
For some observers, the departure of Tsunakawa, as well as Mamoru Hatazawa, a board member who insisted on splitting the company, adds to doubts about whether Toshiba will be able to continue with plans to break up.
“The split plan will be reviewed – we believe there is a chance it will be lifted,” said Justin Tang, head of Asian studies at investment adviser United First Partners in Singapore.
NEW GUARD
The appointment of Shimada, a former CEO of Siemens AG (SIEGn.DE), which only joined in 2018, represents a significant change of security at Toshiba, helping the company’s stock end 2% higher.
Toshiba also said that Goro Yanasse, Toshiba’s elevator business manager, will be appointed interim chief operating officer.
The board will monitor the performance of new recruits and the state of business performance, and “where appropriate, the board will continue discussions on the appointment of external candidates,” the statement said.
While Tsunakawa returned to the post of CEO on a temporary basis and said he did not expect to be in the long-term position, the timing of the announcement was a surprise.
Raymond Zage, head of Toshiba’s nomination committee, said the new appointments were made at the time, after some shareholders expressed concerns that management did not appear to be able to continue plans to restructure the company in a timely manner.
An extraordinary general meeting, which will seek initial shareholder approval for the revised dissolution plan, is scheduled for March 24th. Shareholders will also vote on Toshiba’s major shareholder proposal to explore other options and request buyout offers from private investment companies. Read more
The initial breakup plan was announced last November after a five-month strategic review after years of accounting scandals and governance problems that undermined investor confidence and saw Toshiba’s market value more than halve, to about $ 18 billion, from its peak. of the 2000s.

ATTENTION SPOILER: This interview contains spoilers for the finale of season 2 of “Euphoria”, which aired on HBO on February 27.
Played by 15-year-old Javon Walton, Ashtray is both the sweetest and scariest thing in Euphoria. Fesco’s unofficially adopted brother (Angus Cloud) is a kid when it comes to selling drugs, converting cryptocurrencies on the black market and predicting the movements of shadowy figures chasing his suburbs. No character in “Euphoria” goes through an episode without inflicting new trauma, but Ashtray is even tougher than Fez and Ryu (Zendaya) because he was stolen as a child. After a mixture of drugs, abandonment, and violence forced Fes to raise Ash’s baby at an early school age, Ash grew up with deep anger and fearlessness. Twice in the show’s second season, this manifests itself in his split-second decisions to brutally kill people. When Ash stabs Custer (Tyler Chase) in the neck for working with the police to bring him down and Fez, Fes begs his little brother to let him handle it, determined to fall alone. But Ash refuses to surrender and ends up in a shootout with a SWAT team. He inevitably loses. We hear the impact of his body hitting the floor. (Although it may be important to note that never see then.)
But Walton doesn’t just define his character by his line of violence. “He is really hardworking. He is very loyal to the people he loves. And he’s smart and very, very confident, “he said. After a long school day, the young actor entered Zoom to tell a story Diversity about his hopes for Ashtray’s future and how his boxing career brought him a role in the hottest teenage drama on television.
In which grade you are? And how was school today?
I’m in ninth grade. And school today is school at the end of the day. Mathematics is a struggle. I’m not the biggest fan of math. And overall, I’m not a big fan of school. But I like my sixth cycle. It’s called team sports, and you basically just mess around and play basketball. This is a great way to get your energy out. So I love this!
Do your classmates watch the show? Do you feel weird being in class while you have this whole other life?
Sometimes he does it a little, but people are usually super respectful of him. It’s usually not something. Some do, no doubt, but they don’t really tell me too much about it. Because they know – I’m really a private person.
Let’s get into the episode. It seems unlikely, but some people believe that Ashtray may still be alive. Is there hope?
There is definitely hope that Ashtray is still alive. Because if there’s anyone who can carry a bullet in the show, it’s Ashtray. Ashtray is a nasty kid. He doesn’t play around. I believe he has a chance to be available for season 3.
The origins of Ashtray are such a mystery. Have you spent a lot of time thinking about where it comes from?
I was definitely thinking about what his background could be, the character and everything behind him. His family, his father, his mother, because we can’t really see any of that. But the anger comes from him, so it definitely comes from a really angry side. This is the main thing for him. He is just an angry child.
Some of the things I imagined [are] when he was really young, how his parents would treat him. Because he is much angrier than Fesco. There is definitely a story behind all this. I may not be very aware of what exactly this may be, but it is definitely something super deep.
How do you prepare for your more intense scenes, such as the SWAT team shootout?
Honestly, especially for the finale, you have to really improve and have your own space for a minute to really get there. Because this is the deep space you need to connect with. Ashtray, he doesn’t have much dialogue, does he? But you can tell what he’s saying just by looking through his eyes. You can see the story behind them without him having to talk.
It was pretty sad to shoot the last scene because I knew it was going to be my last time on set, which sucks. I knew I would miss everyone there. But during the shootout, when I was in the bathtub, it was pretty crazy because I was dusted. They had to pour the dust to make it look super realistic from the flying bullets. It was a sad day, but also a good day. Because I knew I would make a strong last impression.
Fess tries so hard to get Ash to take over for Custer’s murder, but Ash still takes on the SWAT team. What do you think about their relationship in this scene?
He really just wanted to protect me and he wanted to die for me. Either you go to jail or you die the moment SWAT teams scatter bullets all over the place; you can’t do much. And he really just wanted to protect me, as I wanted to protect him.
Ashtray decided to do his thing because she wanted the best for him at the time. And that was selfish of him. After all, he’s a kid, you know? Many people see him as this adult, but he is very vulnerable. And we really see that at the end of the last episode. And he doesn’t want to go to a foster home. This is something else.
Interestingly, in Ashtray’s big moments, he always acts on instinct. He decides to kill Mouse and Custer right now.
He grew up in a world full of violence. They don’t teach him better than to kill. Although I can almost see where it comes from [I know] how confused it is. All he knows is to defend Fes.
Angus said Diversity earlier today that you originally had lines in the script, although Ash remains completely silent in the final version of the episode. Do you remember some of the things you said?
That was so long ago, exactly six months ago, so I don’t remember the exact dialogue. But there were a few times when Ashtray had to have a certain dialogue and Sam just decided to interrupt it because he liked it. [that with] Ashtray, there is a lot of mystery behind it.
What do you think about silence?
Honestly, I liked it to some extent. But at the same time, I want to have more dialogue in certain parts. But I was really just following Sam’s vision. I just wanted to follow him because he thought that was the best. And I thought it worked, too.
If you could write about Ashtray, what would he say?
If I could write about Ashtray … it would be something like super gangster shit. Like when he hit Cal in the head, it was going to be something super G all the time. [In the finale], I don’t think he can say much. “I won’t leave you like that.” Such things. Storytelling [Fezco] he regrets what he intends to do.
There has been a lot of talk throughout the season about rewriting scripts. What changes have happened to your character?
How much more violent he really was. This season he became much more violent because last season he was younger. But when he grew up, he really changed for the worse.
And Ashtray should not have been shot. That was something else. He shouldn’t have been shot! Initially, Fes had to be shot, which is crazy. And then, as the day before, they changed the plot to shoot me.
What about when Ash accidentally shot Fes? Was that originally in the script?
I don’t think it’s always been there. It was written – the whole thing – like the day before.
Let’s end with a happier note. What was your favorite scene to shoot?
My favorite scene was until Season 1. The first scene I shot. I talked to Ryu, she was buying drugs, and I was trying to sort out my money, pay off my mortgage. This was the first scene I shot. And that was with Zendaya! Just a really cool moment. It was like, “Oh, is that true?” Because I didn’t understand it then!
Tell me more about the first days of Euphoria. I know this was your first acting project. Have you been auditioning for things for a long time?
Oh, no, not at all. I’m a boxer. I’ve done this almost my whole life and I was on Steve Harvey’s boxing show. And this casting director named Jennifer Wenditi, she saw me and said, “Hey, do you want to try playing? There’s this role called “Euphoria.” I was like, of course. I didn’t even think it was something I would even think of.
I finally tried it and got it right away. [Levinson] I liked the look. He wanted an older child, but he liked that I was younger. And then I was such a gangster with that. And I was one of the only children who pronounced the names of the medicines correctly!
The 2022 primary season begins Tuesday with the Texas election, and The New York Times will report the results live on its website and apps. Here’s how it all works.
Results, achievements
How does The Times get direct election results?
Our live scores are provided by The Associated Press. To get its results, AP combines data feeds from state and county websites with field reports from more than 4,000 correspondents who collect vote counts from county clerks and other local officials after the polls close. The Times has also occasionally published data from other results providers.
How often are results updated on election night?
When the access point receives reports from the states, it checks the voting results for possible inconsistencies or errors. It then sends updated data to The Times and other clients about every one to three minutes. Calls with winners are sent out immediately.
Times journalists and engineers have written software that automatically downloads and publishes results within seconds. Don’t worry about refreshing the page – the results will update automatically.
Why do I see different vote counts on different sites?
Not every news organization gets election results from the AP like The Times does. There are two other election results providers used by news organizations: Edison Research and Decision Desk HQ. State or local governments also often show their own results in elections.
Guide to the 2022 midterm elections
These sources may have different counts on election night, depending on the speed and scope of their coverage of a particular race. Results from all providers may not match until all votes have been counted.
How does The Times track the proportion of votes registered in specific elections?
For years, election result providers have used polling station percentage data to give readers an idea of how many votes remain to be counted. Not anymore. The proliferation of mail-in and early voting has rendered this measure virtually useless in many states, as absentee votes generally do not count at polling places. This has often left readers and analysts at a loss as to how many votes remain to be counted.
This year, The Times will publish its own estimates of the remaining votes.
Early tonight, these estimates will be based on our pre-election turnout expectations based on previous elections and early voting data. Once the AP reports that the county has largely completed the vote count, we will compare the vote returns against our pre-election expectations and gradually revise our expectations for possible turnout. We expect these estimates to be better than the old ‘site reporting’ metric, but these are still only estimates. Usually they do not reflect official information about the number of remaining votes.
What is a plot?
The polling station is the lowest level at which election results are reported. A parcel can be several city blocks or an entire county.
Winners
How does The Times name the winners?
In almost every race we rely on AP calls. It has a team of analysts, researchers and race organizers who are well versed in the states in which they announce winners.
In addition to the total number of votes, racers look at county-level votes, votes by ballot type, and where there are still ballots to count.
The AP describes its decision-making process as “aimed at determining the answer to a single question: can the underperforming candidates catch up with the leader?” And only when the answer is an undeniable “no” will AP announce the race.
In a very small number of high-profile contests, The Times independently examines and evaluates AP race challenges before making a prediction.
How can The Times announce a race before the votes are counted?
News organizations can predict a winner even without results if the race was not hard fought or the party or candidate has a history of consecutive wins in the district or state. In some cases, the AP also relies on election poll results to help make decisions.
Most major news media organizations, including The AP, are waiting for polls to close before announcing a winner.
Cards
Why does my state’s election map look like it’s dominated by a candidate even though that person is behind in total votes?
The main type of map used on The Times results pages are areas shaded in different colors. This is known as a cartogram. For primary races, constituencies are color-coded to represent the candidate who leads the vote count.
Cartograms are great for quickly understanding geographic patterns and identifying leaders in a particular constituency that you care about. But since the geographic area of a district may not be proportional to the number of voters living in it, they do not always determine the winner of the entire state well.
That’s one reason The Times’ main results pages also feature a different type of map: a map in which circles show the size of the winning candidate’s advantage in each constituency.
These maps sometimes make it difficult to see results in districts where there are too few votes or where voting is very close, but they are good at showing localities where a large number of voters could nominate a candidate for the overall lead.
