A Cardiff-based photojournalist has shared some of the photos she has taken while covering the war in Ukraine.

Jess Daly spent three weeks around the city of Dnipro in June, where she was embedded with the Hospitallers Medical Battalion.

She said: “I was based in various towns and villages. There was constant shelling regardless of where the shells were landing and who they were targeting. It was barbaric.”

She said an ambulance worker who she spent time with last month, Natalia, also known as “Austria”, died while taking part in an evacuation.

“It’s very, very dangerous for them.

“They’re volunteers, they do this out of passion for their people and their country and although they are at constant threat they put their lives on the line regardless.”

A field hospital she had visited in Avdiivka, near Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, has since been destroyed by bombing. Of the 26,000 people who lived there, only 2,000 remained.

Jess said she planned to return to the Hospitallers Battalion at the end of November.

Here are some of the pictures she took on her most recent visit.

Official PlayStation Magazine 163 reveals how Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order plays…And it’s like Sekiro

May 31, 2019 by www.gamesradar.com Leave a Comment

With only days to go until EA and Respawn officially reveal how Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (opens in new tab) plays at E3 2019, Official PlayStation Magazine #163 (opens in new tab) gets ahead of the pack with an exclusive interview with the game’s director, where he explains exactly that. Oh, and there’s a FromSoftware vibe to Stig Asmussen’s explanation.

The director calls it “thoughtful combat,” adding, “it’s not about body count. It’s more about really figuring out what is the best angle to get on your enemy, and what’s the best way to take them down. That’s not only single combatants, but it’s also like, the arrangements, of specific enemies that you have in any given fight.”

Given EA’s track record with cancelling story-driven, single-player Star Wars games all eyes are on this year’s release. As well as the combat Asmussen details the main character’s journey through the game, teases its place in the Star Wars canon, and explains why the team – comprised of ex-Batman Arkham, Uncharted, and Titanfall devs – chose Order 66 as the backdrop for their Star Wars adventure.

PS5 spec appeal

With Sony’s next console getting closer by the day, Official PlayStation Magazine #163 chats to leading experts in their fields, as well as developers and artists, about what the specs for PS5 (opens in new tab) actually mean.

Christopher Nichols is the director of Chaos Group Labs who’s rendering software has been used in many Hollywood VFX films, including bringing Thanos to the big screen. He knows a thing or two about ray-tracing (opens in new tab) .

In OPM#163, Nichols explains: “In PS5 games, light will be a full-fledged character, driving immersion whether you’re paying attention to it or not. This will fundamentally change the design process for the thousands of developers working on console and multi-platform games.”

Bordering on amazing

Back to PS4, and the team go hands-on with Borderlands 3. (opens in new tab) The anticipated sequel to one of the best co-op shooters on console is almost here, and the team spend two days with the game.

Taking the series interstellar onto new planets, Borderlands 3 could be the best loot-shooter since Destiny. The question is, does the old-fashioned gameplay still stack up in 2019? Read the team’s honest hands-on this issue.

Tuesday morning news briefing: General says UK must be ready for war

June 28, 2022 by www.telegraph.co.uk Leave a Comment

The head of the Army today says the UK must be ready for war with Russia. Four months on from Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, General Sir Patrick Sanders is set to compare the assault to the rise of Nazi Germany .

He will say that Britain is facing its “1937 moment” and must be ready to “fight and win” to ward off the threat from Russia.

In his first public speech as Chief of the General Staff , Sir Patrick will say the UK must be prepared to “act rapidly” to contain Russian expansionism.

Nato last night pledged to massively increase its forces available on high alert to more than 300,000 troops, a more-than seven-fold increase.

Sir Patrick’s intervention is likely to put pressure on Mr Johnson to maintain the size of the Armed Forces after plans were announced to reduce troop numbers in a move to a more modern military.

Defence editor Danielle Sheridan reports that, in a separate speech today, Ben Wallace, the Defence Secretary, is to call for increased investment .

It came as a missile strike on a crowded shopping centre in the central city of Kremenchuk killed at least 10 civilians and wounded dozens more.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said there were about 1,000 people inside the building, describing it as “one of the most daring terrorist attacks in European history” .

The leaders of the G7 last night branded the attack “abominable” as they vowed to hold Vladimir Putin accountable for the war crime. Follow the latest in our live blog .

Sturgeon sets course for fresh independence vote

Nicola Sturgeon will today unveil her route map to bypass the UK Government’s refusal to allow another Scottish independence referendum.

The First Minister will make a statement at the Scottish Parliament this afternoon outlining how she intends to give Scots a “choice on independence” in October next year, her preferred timetable.

Boris Johnson has repeatedly made clear that he will refuse any formal request for a Section 30 order, the legislative device that was used to transfer the powers for the 2014 referendum. Scottish political editor Simon Johnson notes Ms Sturgeon’s change in language .

Alan Cochrane concludes that her party is beginning to crumble around her amid a welter of sleaze.

And, as Ms Sturgeon put the final flourishes to her latest roadmap to independence, the Queen made an unexpected visit to Scotland yesterday that packed an ever-so-polite political punch .

Prince William tackles photographer over privacy

The Duke of Cambridge has spent years negotiating a world in which he can enjoy a weekend bicycle ride with his children in peace.

That ambition has suffered a setback, after a video said by Kensington Palace to breach the Cambridges’ privacy was viewed by tens of thousands of people despite attempts to block it from YouTube Footage shows the Duke confronting a photographer after he was filmed with his family near Sandringham, Norfolk.

Royal editor Hannah Furness describes how he is seen remonstrating with a man videoing him .

Around the world: Dozens found dead in truck

At least 46 people have been found dead in a truck that was believed to be carrying migrants from Mexico to Texas. Officials said the bodies were discovered in a sweltering 18-wheel truck in a remote area on the outskirts of San Antonio, where temperatures had reached 39.4C yesterday. Fire crews said the patients were exhausted and “hot to the touch”, with no signs of water on board the vehicle. Images from the scene showed police vehicles and ambulances surrounding the truck.

Business briefing: Bank faces mutiny over pay

Staff at the Bank of England are to demand a pay rise in the face of surging inflation, despite pleas for restraint on wages from the Bank’s Governor, Andrew Bailey. Workers received just a 1.5pc increase this year, far below the 9.1pc rate of inflation reached in May. A row at the Bank over pay would prove deeply embarrassing for Mr Bailey after he urged UK workers not to demand large wage increases. Meanwhile, councils will be forced to ditch spending plans and draw up emergency cuts to public services after high inflation sparked a surge in costs .

Ukraine war: Macron, Scholz ask Putin to free captured Azovstal fighters

May 28, 2022 by www.euronews.com Leave a Comment

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron had an 80-minute telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin on Saturday. The two asked for the release of some 2,500 Ukrainian fighters who surrendered at the Azovstal steel mill, ending the siege of the southern port city of Mariupol.

While Moscow claims to have taken the strategic town of Lyman and the fighting for Sievierodonetsk continues to rage, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia should not think that it will be holding the cities as they will eventually return to Ukraine.

Follow Saturday’s developments as they unfolded in our blog below:

Saturday’s key events:

  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron held a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin on Saturday, calling for “serious direct negotiations” with Kyiv and the release of Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered at Azovstal.

  • “The Donbas will be Ukrainian”, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a speech on Friday night, commenting on Russian claims of taking control of Lyman and attempts to seize Sievierodonetsk.

  • Kyiv fears a repeat of the horrors of Mariupol as a Russian offensive in the eastern Donbas region makes progress amidst intense fighting.

  • In Lithuania, ordinary citizens rallied around a donation drive to buy a Bayraktar drone for the Ukrainian forces , with most of the money collected within three days, organisers said.

  • Russian Orthodox Church denied that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has declared independence or gained autocephaly, stating on Saturday that its unity is “preserved”.

  • Earlier, the Moscow-affiliated Ukrainian Orthodox Church announced on Friday that it was breaking with Russia, declaring its “full independence” from Russian spiritual authorities — in what is widely seen as a a historic move.

  • Boris Johnson said Russia is making ‘palpable’ progress in eastern Ukraine, despite the cost to the Russian military. Continuing to support Ukraine militarily was “absolutely vital,” the UK PM stated.

  • Nearly 3 million Ukrainian refugees have left the countries bordering Ukraine, where they flocked after the Russian invasion, to move to other non-neighbouring European countries, according to the UNHCR.

Two doctors recall life and work in Bucha during Russian occupation

It has been over a month since Bucha was last under Russian control, but the Kyiv suburb is still reeling from the war — and stories of life under occupation keep coming out of the now well-known site of alleged war crimes by Russian forces.

Dr Ihor Kovalchuk, head of neurology at the Irpin City Hospital and Dr Yevhen Repyov, orthopedist and traumatologist, recount life in Bucha during the fighting, under Russian occupation and the flood of patients they received during that time.

Russian Orthodox Church denied its Ukrainian branch is now independent

The unity between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is “preserved”, Metropolitan Hilarion, head of the Moscow church’s external relations department, said on Saturday.

The Moscow-affiliated Ukrainian Orthodox Church announced on Thursday it was breaking its affiliation with Russia on Friday, saying it was “fully independent” in what was widely seen as a historic move.

However, this was also understood by some as a message of intent, as gaining complete independence or autocephaly is a long and often complex process that needs approval from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Orthodox “mother church” seated in Istanbul.

Ukraine accuses Moscow of stealing its metal products from Mariupol

Russia had started transporting stolen metal products from Mariupol, shipping 3,000 tonnes on the first ship to Rostov-on-Don according to Ombudsman Lyudmyla Denisova, Kyiv Independent reported on Saturday.

The port housed about 200,000 tonnes of metal and cast iron worth close to €160 million before the occupation, she Denisova.

The city’s Azovstal metal processing compound was one of the largest steel rolling companies in Ukraine. The plant was reportedly almost completely destroyed during the months-long siege of the southern port city.

Russia tests long-range Zircon cruise missile

Russia test-fired a hypersonic Zircon cruise missile over a distance of about 1,000 kilometres, the country’s defence ministry said on Saturday.

The missile was fired from the Barents Sea and hit a target in the White Sea, it said. Video released by the ministry showed the missile being fired from a ship and blazing into the sky on a steep trajectory.

Zircon can travel at speeds of up to Mach 9 or nine times the speed of sound, and Russia has conducted previous test launches of the missile from warships and submarines in the past years.

However, Saturday’s test showed that the missile has doubled its previous range, estimated to a maximum of 500 km.

Russia’s military has suffered heavy personnel and equipment losses during its three-month invasion of Ukraine, but it has continued to stage high-profile weapons tests.

Last month it test-launched a new intercontinental missile, the Sarmat, capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads and reaching the US.

Find a diplomatic solution to the war, Scholz and Macron tell Putin

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron called for “serious direct negotiations” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin on Saturday.

During an 80-minute meeting with the Russian president, the two leaders “insisted on an immediate ceasefire and a withdrawal of Russian troops,” a statement from the German chancellery said.

Macron and Scholz “called on the Russian president to hold serious direct negotiations with the Ukrainian president and to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict”.

Norway’s oil and gas sales surge, prompting allegations of making a profit from Ukraine war

Europe’s frantic search for alternatives to Russian energy has dramatically increased the demand — and price — for Norway’s oil and gas.

But the continent’s second-biggest natural gas supplier is now fending off accusations that it is profiting from the war in Ukraine.

Former President Poroshenko blasts decision banning him from leaving Ukraine

The former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said on Saturday he had been refused permission to leave the country for a trip to Lithuania, blasting the decision as breaking the “political ceasefire” in the midst of a Russian invasion.

Poroshenko, Ukraine’s president from 2014 to 2019, now heads the European Solidarity, the second-largest party in the Rada and the main opposition to the current leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with whom he has a fierce rivalry.

According to his press service, Poroshenko “was refused permission to cross the border into Ukraine” when he was due to take part in the NATO parliamentary assembly in Vilnius and had received “all formal permissions to leave the country” as a permanent member of the Ukrainian delegation.

The former president was also due to hold talks in Vilnius with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda and a group of Lithuanian and European MPs. He was then supposed to travel to Rotterdam in the Netherlands for a summit of European parties.

The turmoil in Ukrainian politics had ceased since Russia invaded the country on 24 February, with most political forces uniting in defence of the country. Eleven parties deemed pro-Russian have been banned.

Ukraine fears Donbas cities might suffer same fate as Mariupol as Russian offensive escalates

The advance of Russian forces in eastern Ukraine’s industrial Donbas region raised fears that cities in the region would undergo the same horrors inflicted on the people of Mariupol in the weeks before it fell.

The fighting Friday focused on two key cities — Sievierodonetsk and nearby Lysychansk — the last areas under Ukrainian control in Luhansk, one of two provinces that make up the Donbas, where Russia-backed separatists have already controlled some territory for eight years.

Authorities say 1,500 people in Sievierodonetsk have already died since the Russian invasion began three months ago. Russia-backed rebels also said they’d taken the railway hub of Lyman.

Dame Jenny Harries’s warning came after figures showed infections had jumped by more than half a million in just one week.

The UK Health Security Agency chief executive said: “It doesn’t look as though that (current) wave has finished yet, so we would anticipate that hospital cases will rise.”

She added that people should “go about their normal lives but in that precautionary way”, highlighting handwashing, keeping distance where possible and wearing masks in enclosed places.

Speaking about masks, she said: “If I’ve got any respiratory infection it’s a good thing to do.”

Asked if it matters that a lot of people are getting infected with Covid, she said: “Whilst we have an armament now of vaccines and antiviral treatments, we do have… a rise in hospital admissions and occupancy.

“And that means it’s not just Covid that we’re concerned about, but it’s actually our ability to treat other illnesses as well.”

A total of 2.3 million people in private households are estimated to have had the virus last week, up 32 per cent from a week earlier, according to the Office for National Statistics.

This is the highest estimate for total infections since late April, but is still some way below the record of 4.9 million at the peak of the Omicron wave at the end of March.

Dame Jenny appealed to the “nearly 20 per cent of the 75-plus year-old group” who have not had a spring booster to come forward.

Saffron Cordery, the interim chief executive of NHS Providers, said: “Trust leaders know they are in for a bumpy ride over the coming months as they tackle new and unpredictable variants of Covid-19 alongside grappling with seasonal flu pressures which may hit us earlier than usual this year.”
