When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Russia threatened to do this if Ukraine attacked the May 9 parade on the Red Square. After Trump’s intervention on Putin’s behalf, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire so Russia could hold the parade. Two weeks later, Putin unleashed the ballistic missile barrage on central Kyiv anyway.

Who else is obsessed with this vibe? 🥰

Tens of thousands of crew are stuck on commercial ships in the Gulf, in increasingly dire conditions:

"Freshwater is running out on many ships, so the sailors are using social media and very-high-frequency marine radios to share survival tips and tactics. Some Chinese crew members have filmed themselves collecting condensate from air-conditioning units to shower and wash laundry. Others have taken to fishing over the side of their tankers."

"Restocking supplies has become difficult—and expensive.... the going rate for mangos is now $31 for a kilogram, and oranges are $15 a kilogram for about three large pieces of fruit." https://t.co/2zGgKZZGZC

Türkiye lifted electricity and natural gas tariffs for households and businesses on Friday as rising global energy costs, with ongoing shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, continue to weigh on markets amid the Iran war.

Although Türkiye has not been strained by a supply shortage, as its reliance on the vital energy corridor remained manageable, soaring global costs pushed authorities to adjust tariffs, with the new tariffs taking effect nationwide on April 4.

Power, gas tariffs jump across all user groups
According to the adjustment made by the country’s energy market regulator, electricity prices rose by 25% for residential users, 17.5% for public and private service sectors, 5.8% for industrial subscribers and 24.8% for agricultural users.

Under the new rates, a household consuming 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity will pay ₺323.8 ($7.26), the regulator noted.

Natural gas tariffs also increased in line with wholesale prices announced by the state pipeline operator Botas. Residential consumers face an average 25% rise, while industrial users see prices increase by 18.61%. Gas used in electricity generation climbed by 19.42%.
The tiered tariff system for residential users, which shifts pricing toward consumption-based levels, will continue to be in place for both electricity and natural gas,applying different rates depending on usage and aiming to balance demand and cost distribution.
