These were the disturbing scenes in Lviv, Ukraine today, which are reminiscent LondonEvacuation during Blitz.

Complete chaos reigned in the crowded train station, less than 50 miles from Poland, when thousands of refugees fleeing Russian forces and air strikes invaded the city from all over Ukraine.

A wave of people climbed to reach the platforms, some even turning their suitcases over the rails.

There were heartbreaking scenes when families were forced to separate, with fathers waving goodbye to their wives and children and then returning to fight the Russians in Ukraine’s desperate defense.

Fights and skirmishes erupted in the densely packed ticket hall as seats in all offices leaving the military zone were soon sold out.

Even when the sirens sounded around the city, refugees kept coming.

Thousands of refugees at Lviv railway station in western Ukraine arrived Sunday from across the country, desperately trying to board trains to Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania.

Grandpa Alex Mironov said goodbye through tears to his 17-year-old son Max and only grandson, six-month-old Daniel.

Max, who is studying English at school, said: “My brother Michael, Daniel’s father, was already working in Germany when the invasion took place.

“The family decided that I should go with the baby and his mother.

“She’s in there trying to get train tickets.” But the box office is crazy. Since I am under 18, I am allowed to go.

Alex said: “It is very sad to see my only grandson and sons outside Ukraine, but this is the right thing to do. I can’t wait for them to come back.

Bogdan Komarets, 47, from Krasnoarmeysk, had brought his 23-year-old daughter, Misha.

He wants her to seek refuge with relatives in Poland until the situation is resolved

Bogdan, a power plant worker, said: “I want to make sure she is safe. That’s all that matters to me. I need to know he’s out of danger.

“I hope this will not last much longer. It took us more than two hours to get her a ticket.

Milena Zashtitnikova, 21, arrived at the station with her four-year-old son Max and mother Ina, after her husband Andrei joined the troops fighting Russia.

But after boarding a full night train to Lviv from Zhytomyr, west of the capital Kiev, they were horrified to find that all international train services had been sold out.

Like thousands of others, they were left huddled next to each other outside the station in sub-zero temperatures.

Milena told MailOnline: “We hoped to be able to take a train from here to the Czech Republic, but there are no tickets – and we are mired in this chaos.

“I bought my little boy a toy train for the trip – but this is the only train he will take today and we have nowhere to stay tonight and no way to escape the war.

Ukrainians at Lviv station described the situation as a “nightmare” as they tried to get trains out of the country

Families face the need to spend the night in sub-zero temperatures, as there are not enough trains to carry them all.

“Max’s father went to fight the Russians and I promised him we would take our little boy to safety, but I have no idea how I would do it.

“We try to smile and keep my little boy happy because he is too young to understand what we are going through.

“Like thousands of other people here, we are experiencing a nightmare created by Vladimir Putin.”

Tanya Yokovchuk, 30, was also stranded outside the station with no hope of escaping yesterday as she struggled to comfort her crying two-year-old son, Karar.

She said: “We came here hoping to escape, but it has become a dead end – it is impossible to get train tickets.

“And now I don’t know what to do or where to go, and I’m desperately trying to find a place to sleep.

“No one here knows how this will end.”

The 76-year-old grandmother Marieta Sakova, who fled for fear of fighting in the eastern city of Dnipro, told MailOnline: “There are no train tickets, no petrol for cars – even if we had one and we would soon run out of money to buy food.

“We’re desperate to get out of here, but there’s just no way out.”

Another matriarch, 73-year-old Svetlana, fought back tears as she hugged her five-year-old grandson, David, after realizing they were blocked without tickets on any route outside the war zone.

She said: “I have no idea what we are going to do.

“I’m trying to meet my daughter and take us all to Poland, but there are no trains and like almost everyone else here, we have nowhere to stay tonight.”

All we want to do is get David out of the fight, but we’re trapped.

Anna Yavorska, 25, fled Kiev after being asked to take her niece Dasha, five, to safety.

She said: “The sound of bombs was terrifying and I quickly realized that this was not a place for a child.

“I told Dasha’s mother that I would take her to Poland away from the Russians, but once we got here, we were stuck.

“There are no trains to Europe with space and we have nowhere to stay tonight, so I have no choice but to keep fighting to get a ticket as soon as it’s available.

“No one would have thought that could happen even a week ago. How did this come about?

Elon Musk insists on building a massive 6.2-mile underground tunnel for the ferry Tesla vehicles and their passengers in the congested North Miami Beach area.

Musk’s Boring Company is currently considering Hard Rock Stadium and Florida The campus of the International University of Biscayne as the host of the proposed transit tunnel, which will pass under Miami-Dade, according to Miami Herald.

The tunnel, which would initially see Tesla vehicles carrying up to 7,500 passengers per hour with a possible target of up to 15,000 per hour, will have drivers passing under State Road 826 East from Northwest 2nd Avenue to Northeast 35th Avenue. .

The rough estimate for the project is between $ 180 million and $ 220 million and is expected to be completed in 36 months, according to Boring.

The loop to Hard Rock will extend an additional three miles, while the FIU-Biscayne spur will last about 1.8 miles.

The Board of Directors of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has approved a contract with The Boring Company to design and build a double tunnel system for the Las Vegas Convention Center

Tesla electric cars are lined up in front of two one-way tunnels built by Elon Musk’s The Boring Company at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada, USA, April 2021.

The idea, which is also being discussed in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, is designed to tackle traffic and congestion.

Critics of the plan only have to look all the way to Las Vegas, where Musk’s Vegas Loop – a 1.7-mile Teslas hand-powered track to drive under the city’s convention center at a top speed of 40 miles per hour – where consumers expressed concerns about the tunnel crash and other safety issues.

A viral video of a traffic jam in a tunnel during CES’s consumer electronics trade in 2022 shows that Musk’s system is far from immune to the stagnation problem.

“The Vegas Loop can’t even handle # CES2022 during a pandemic,” technical blogger Sasha Palenberg tweeted on Thursday.

“Congratulations @CityOfLasVegas, this must be the most modern traffic jam in the world!”

Musk’s tunnel company unveiled a proposal earlier this month on February 1 for North Miami Beach, making it the second of two since Fort Lauderdale’s plans were unveiled in June.

However, not everyone is a fan of the concept, with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez preferring an expanded transit system.

Meanwhile, North Miami Beach Commissioner Michael Joseph says the project will ease congestion while serving as a tourist attraction for the city.

“Why not us?” he said after recently touring the Vegas Loop, calling it “the most up-to-date.”

“We have a lot of development ahead of us, we want to plan ahead. We know that development comes from everywhere.

The next step in the process is to present an interim agreement to city officials on March 15th, according to city manager Chris Lagerblum.

“This is a very real project,” Lagerblum added.

Details on project funding and feasibility are reportedly still under discussion.

Joseph said city officials are currently working to identify potential sources of funding for the construction of the underground tunnel.

He noted that a significant portion could come from money included in federal infrastructure legislation just signed by President Joseph R. Biden, and government funding is likely to contribute to the project.

“We know they want to invest behind communities that traditionally don’t receive infrastructure funding,” Joseph said. “And we are a community of a majority of a minority.”

“The engineers looked at it and I talked to more underground engineers than I would have ever had before,” Lagerblum said of the tunnel’s feasibility.

“Underground tunneling is accepted around the world as a very applicable solution for vehicles, trains, all types of transport. The fact that we’re in South Florida doesn’t affect whether we can tunnel. It is mainly related to what method and some polymers used to prevent water. But as for whether it is possible: it is very possible.

It’s a dog’s life … but one pill can make it last longer! Medications can prolong a puppy’s life expectancy by up to a third, according to research

• Rapamycin may prolong the average life expectancy of dogs, according to US researchers
• A new study shows that the life of pets can be extended by a third
• Previous experiments with mice have found that it can extend life by up to 30 percent
• The project is part of a larger dog aging project that examines life expectancy

The death of a dog can feel as tragic as the loss of a family member.

But there is hope for dog owners thanks to a potentially life-prolonging pill.

U.S. researchers believe a drug called rapamycin can extend a dog’s life expectancy by up to a third.

Previous experiments with mice have found that it can extend life by up to 30 percent.

Matt Kaeberline, a professor at the University of Washington who is involved in the project, told The Daily Telegraph: “We don’t know if these effects will be similar in absolute or relative terms in dogs, but I think it’s possible.”

The experiment focuses on large breeds, such as Labradors, that live up to ten to 12 years.

Prof. Kaeberlein added: “Our study is able to find a life expectancy of nine percent or more.”

The project, called the Triad (Rapamycin Test in Aging Dogs), is part of a larger dog aging project (DAP) that will examine various aspects of a dog’s life.

Interestingly, the owners can also be thrown to the bone by the project.

DAP looks at how dog life expectancy and aging can be translated into humans.

Owners who dress dogs in clothes can see their favorite dog as a person, researchers say

• People who have seen pets like people more, more likely to want to buy pet fashion
• Those who indicated that they would soon buy the dog’s clothes were more attached
• This meant that they were more likely to have a picture of their dog in their wallet

Owners of dogs who dress their pets in toilets may have to accept that their love is out of control, warn veterinarians.

Research suggests that pet owners who do this, such as Lady Gaga and Katy Perrycan see animals as almost human.

The researchers asked 326 owners about their feelings for their dogs and whether they would buy fashion items for them.

They found that people were more likely to buy clothes if they showed signs of seeing the dog as a human being.

Researchers wanted to know why people buy dog ​​clothes, so they conducted a detailed online study

These include celebrating a pet’s birthday and giving nicknames such as “baby” and “sweetheart”.

The study’s co-author, Dr. Patrick Hartmann of the Spanish University in the Basque Country, said: “For retailers, this knowledge can help them earn money by offering appropriate clothing for people and dogs.”

But PDSA veterinarian Lynn James said, “Our pets don’t always share the same joy – they can feel uncomfortable and can’t move freely.”

The thriving pet industry is projected to see people in the UK spend more than £ 2 billion on pet products and services by next year.

These include haircuts, a pet spa, special food and fashion.

Researchers wanted to know why people buy dog ​​clothes, so they conducted a detailed online study.

To assess whether the 326 dog owners see their pets almost as human, they asked how much they agreed with a set of statements, including “my pet understands everything I say,” “I love celebrating my pet’s birthday.” And “I like to give love to my pet nicknames like” baby “or” sweetheart. “

People who see their pets more as humans are more likely to want to buy fashionable clothes for their dogs.

As a result, researchers suggest that retailers could do well to sell dog clothes that look more human, such as skirts, pants and accessories.

Australian dog owners were asked if they plan to buy fashionable clothes for their pet in the next two months and what are the chances of buying these products in the near future.

Those who indicated that they would soon be buying dog equipment also had higher levels of attachment to their pet.

This meant that they were more likely to have a picture of their dog in their wallet, for example, or to feel closer to their pet than to family or many friends.

Responding to a study published in the Journal of Business Research, Malcolm Morley, junior vice president of the British Veterinary Association, said: “Most owners consider pets to be part of the family, which is great, but we must remember that pets are not fashionable. accessories.

“Owners should be aware that inappropriate anthropomorphism, such as dressing dogs or other unnatural changes in their appearance, is not only unnecessary and potentially harmful, but in some cases can prevent pets from expressing their natural behavior.”

He added: “With rare exceptions, dogs should not wear clothes as they already have a thick coat to keep them warm.

“Only dogs with thin fur such as greyhounds and whipped dogs or older dogs may need a coat to keep them warm during winter walks.”

Congress relinquished its mandate for a mask before the president Joe BidenThe address of the State of the Union, a move that officials say is a response from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to publish new coronavirus guidelines last week.

The doctor’s office announced the change in policy on Sunday, noting that “individuals can choose to disguise themselves at any time, but this is no longer a requirement.”

IN Capitol the move comes just a day before Washington’s term expires on Monday, and as many states and local authorities began implementing the new CDC guidance and lifting of mandate masks indoors and in schools.

He is also following new guidelines issued by the CDC on Friday that will remove mask recommendations for 70 percent of Americans.

According to the new CDC system, Washington, D.C., is already at a “green level” or area that is considered a low risk of spreading coronavirus, which allows for a reduction in prevention measures.

Congress relinquished its mandate for masks ahead of President Joe Biden’s address on the state of the Union, a move officials say was a response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which issued new guidelines for coronavirus last week.

Calm guidelines are coming as Biden aims to use the address to Congress to highlight the progress made against COVID over the past year, including vaccinations and therapies, and to direct the country to a “new phase” of the virus’s response. driven by emergency measures and more like life before the pandemic.

Wearing masks will still be a personal choice in Congress, and special precautions will be taken for Biden’s speech on Tuesday, which, unlike last year’s joint address, will be open to all members of Congress.

“I think you’ll see that it looks a lot more like a normal state of the union than a joint address by the president,” White House Chief of Staff Ron Klein said Saturday. “It will seem like the most normal thing people have seen in Washington in a long time.”

Seats for Biden’s first address to a joint congressional session last April were limited to about 200 – about 20% of the usual capacity for a presidential presentation – and White House officials worried the repetition would be a dissonant image of the president’s message. in order to deliver to the American people.

Although masks will be optional, all those present in the Union State will have to take a COVID test before entering the hall before the address.

Changes in the Capitol’s operative posture also state that “people with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 must wear a properly fitted high-quality filter mask (KN95 or N95).”

Multi-layered coronavirus protection measures, such as a focus on vaccination and daily health screening inventories, will continue for members and staff of Congress.

The doctor’s office announced the change in policy on Sunday, noting that “individuals may choose to disguise themselves at any time, but this is no longer a requirement.”

Calm guidelines come as Biden (pictured in the White House on Friday) aims to use the congressional address to highlight progress against COVID-19 over the past year, including vaccinations and therapies, and to steer the country towards a “new phase of the viral response, which is not driven by emergency measures and looks more like life before a pandemic

Mandatory camouflage has been in effect for most of the past two years and has become a guerrilla hotspot on Capitol Hill.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced initial guidelines earlier this month from the sergeant’s service, which included a threat that violating social distancing and masking instructions during the event “would lead to the removal of those present.”

The change before Biden’s speech will avoid a potentially devastating display of national tension and frustration as Biden tries to push the country out of the pandemic.

It also eased fears of some of Biden’s allies as they prepared for potentially devastating Republican protests against politics.

Some GOP lawmakers have amassed thousands of dollars in fines for violating mandates to wear masks on the Chamber’s floor.

The revised CDC guidelines, published on Friday, moved the number of U.S. counties considered “high” or “significant” risk to 30% (right) from 95% (left). The first map is the nation’s counties, according to initial estimates, while the second is a revised version presented by the CDC on Friday afternoon.

The CDC compiles its recommendations for people to live safely with COVID according to their counties, which are considered at risk.

This move comes as the number of cases across the country has fallen sharply since their peak in early January, with the omicron variant proving less likely than earlier strains to cause death or serious illness, especially in vaccinated and boosted individuals.

An average of 75,549 people register a COVID infection every day in America. That’s a 35 percent drop last week and a 92 percent drop after Omicron’s jump peaked at 800,000 cases a day in mid-January.

Deaths are also finally starting to decline. An average of 1,742 Americans die from COVID every day, a 20 percent drop in the last week – from Friday – and a 30 percent drop for the peak of Omicrons’ jump, when about 2,500 Americans succumbed to the virus every day.

According to recently revised CDC estimates, only 28.2% of the American population – living in 37% of counties – is still advised to disguise themselves in closed, public places.

These counties are scattered throughout America, but include the entire state of West Virginia and much of its neighbor Kentucky. Oregon and Montana also have large parts of the state classified as “high risk.”

An average of 75,549 people register a COVID infection every day in America. That’s a 35 percent drop last week and a 92 percent drop after Omicron’s jump peaked at 800,000 cases a day in mid-January.

Deaths are also finally starting to decline. An average of 1,742 Americans die from COVID each day, a 20% drop in the last week – from Friday – and a 30% drop at the peak of Omicrons’ jump, when about 2,500 Americans succumbed to the virus each day

The number of hospitalizations with COVID is also declining

Just under 30 percent of Americans live in a “low” risk area, with 39.6 percent of Americans suffering from a “medium” risk of COVID in their communities.

The “essential” categorization has been removed, as if joining a high one.

While state and county officials still have the power to set mandates and regulations for their own jurisdiction, many, especially in the blue states, usually follow the CDC’s guidelines when making such decisions.

For areas that are considered low risk, the CDC recommends that only people be vaccinated, but otherwise they can live their lives safely.

A person living in a place considered to be at medium risk can also live normally, unless he is immunocompromised or has other serious comorbidities in which he must disguise himself in public and talk to his doctor. for other potential solutions to protect.

The CDC still advises people, including students, to wear masks when the risk of COVID is high.

Dr Rochelle Valensky, director of the agency, said the new guidelines allow Americans to feel safe about wearing masks and other restrictions so far, when COVID is not as much of a threat as it was in the past.

This also leaves the door open for employees to return masks and other restrictions in the future at a time when the pandemic situation is becoming more severe, without overreacting to mild cases.

The EU is finally firm on Moscow’s banks … but Britain is urging it to go further and impose even tougher measures as the war in Ukraine escalates.

• Britain, the United States, the EU and Canada have said Russian banks will be banned from the Swift system
• A government source said the move would hurt 70% of Russia’s major banks
• Western leaders have also agreed on “restrictive measures” against Russia’s central bank
• Foreign Minister Liz Truss says the UK will continue to push for tougher measures

Last night, Britain called for even tougher sanctions against Moscow amid predictions that Russian banks could run out of money.

On a big descent over the weekend, Germany and Italy agreed to abandon their opposition to the exclusion of Russian banks from the Swift payment system, which dominates international trade.

In a joint statement, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom Canada said “selected Russian banks” would be removed from the Swift system, which would exclude them from the international financial system and “impair their ability to operate globally”.

In a joint statement, Britain, the United States, the EU and Canada said “selected Russian banks” would be removed from the Swift system.

A government source said the move would mean that 70% of major Russian banks would be excluded from the system, making it increasingly difficult for Russian companies to trade.

Western leaders have also agreed to impose “restrictive measures” on Russia’s central bank to prevent it from “deploying its international reserves in ways that undermine the impact of our sanctions.”

But Foreign Minister Liz Truss said yesterday that the United Kingdom would continue to push for tougher measures.

Miss Truss, who raised the issue with the G7 finance ministers yesterday, said the measures were “unprecedented”, but added: “We continue to push for tougher and tougher sanctions.

“We were very clear with the G-7 that there would be escalating sanctions, that snoring against Russia would be tightened. And this is what we see.

“We have led calls for Russia to be excluded from the Swift system. We are making progress.

That doesn’t end here.
