Britain's parliament called on Wednesday for the government to take action to end what lawmakers described as genocide in China's Xinjiang region, stepping up pressure on ministers to go further in their criticism of Beijing. But Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government again steered clear of declaring genocide over what it says are "industrial-scale" human rights abuses against the mainly Muslim Uighur community in Xinjiang. So far the government has imposed sanctions on some Chinese officials and introduced rules to try to prevent goods linked to the region entering the supply chain, but a majority of lawmakers want ministers to go further.

British athletes are likely to have COVID-19 jabs before heading to Tokyo for the Olympics and none has expressed any opposition to vaccination, Team GB head Mark England said on Thursday. The British Olympic Association said in January athletes would not jump the queue over health workers, the elderly and vulnerable but the pace of Britain's vaccination programme has changed the debate. "Given the government conversation now of opening up vaccinations for people over 20, for sure it looks likely that the team will be vaccinated beforehand," England told Reuters after announcing the team's Olympic archers.

"We the young people are the ones who are going to write about you in the history books ...So my advice for you is to choose wisely."The chairman of the subcommittee, Representative Ro Khanna, is pressuring his fellow Democrat Biden to end fossil fuel subsidies as part of a plan to rebuild U.S. infrastructure.
"There will be a lot of carriers that will not make it through," Air France-KLM Chief Executive Ben Smith said, citing nameless rivals that were "not viable prior to the crisis". For survivors like state-backed Air France-KLM, market consolidation would be welcome, Smith said, adding: "Even if it takes longer than planned for traffic to return, with a reduction in capacity that's a good balance for us".

Greta Thunberg, the 18-year-old Swedish climate activist, criticized and cast suspicion over politicians as she addressed the US House Oversight Subcommittee on Environment via video call on Earth Day, April 22.Thunberg had been invited to join a discussion about ending fossil fuel subsidies as part of measures against climate change, and immediately cast doubt over Congress’s willingness to take action.“I don’t believe for a second that you will actually do this,” Thunberg told the subcommittee. “The climate crisis doesn’t exist in the public debate today. And since it doesn’t really exist, and the general level of awareness is so absurdly low, you will still get away with continuing to contribute to the destruction of present and future living conditions,” she said.“How long do you honestly believe people in power like you will get away with it?” she asked, before warning them that accountability was “inevitable” and urged political leaders to “save [their] legacies.”“We, the young people, are the ones who are going to write about you in the history books,” she told them.

Astronaut Thomas Pesquet is about to make historyas the first ever French captain of a spaceship"… the crew is happy, the crew is in great shape, in high spirits. Their families are here at the Cape, and everything is fine.

I think in physical terms, it will go very well. However mentally, it's more challenging. It's more difficult because we know what we're exposing ourselves to. The first time we went, we were leaving for an adventure. We knew it was going to be difficult because we've been told so, because we're imagining it and we are able to understand it. But we don't really know quite how difficult it will be, or exactly what or when it will get difficult. The second time, we know exactly what we're getting ourselves into. When you've already run a marathon, you know that it will hurt. It's exactly the same this time."
