The United States, Britain, Albania and Malta walked out on Russia's envoy for children's rights - whom the International Criminal Court wants to arrest on war crimes charges - as she spoke by video to UN Security Council members on Wednesday (5 April).Britain and the United States blocked the informal meeting on Ukraine, convened by Russia to focus on "evacuating children from conflict zones," from being webcast by the United Nations.The diplomats left the UN conference room where the discussion was being held as Russian Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova spoke.US Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told reporters that the United States joined Britain in blocking the webcast so Lvova-Belova did not have "an international podium to spread disinformation and to try to defend her horrible actions that are taking place in Ukraine".The International Criminal Court last month issued an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lvova-Belova, accusing them of ille...

Unlucky Louie attracts adversity like a slice of bread is prone to mold.As South in a penny game at my club, Louie leaped to six hearts at his third turn. (North’s cue bid of five clubs, going beyond game when he had no help in diamonds, was bold.) West led the king of clubs to dummy’s ace.Louie saw that if trumps broke no worse than 3-1, he could draw them all, then hope to run the diamonds to discard dummy’s remaining clubs and ruff at least one club. But when he led a trump at Trick Two, East discarded. Louie could still pick up the trumps but had to spend all of dummy’s trumps. He lost two clubs.SHUT DOWN“If I were a restaurant,” Louie sighed, “the Health Department would shut me down.”Louie makes the slam with foresight. He ruffs a spade at the second trick and takes the ace of trumps. He can then continue thus: trump to dummy’s eight, spade ruff with the queen, trump to the ten. He draws West’s last trump with the kin...
