Prince Andrew’s ex wife, who is grandmother to Princess Eugenie’s son August, one and Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna, born in September said in an Instagram post: ‘I have always believed the smile of a child is the most important thing in the world, so to see so many children caught up in this crisis is particularly affecting.’
Fergie, who recently returned to her online show Story time With Fergie and Friends to show support to the children of Ukraine, was pictured embracing and comforting young people and their families who have escaped the invasion.
After years of criticizing the protests that Colin Kaepernick started in 2016 to address racism, President Donald Trump is now saying the embattled free agent should get another chance, ‘if he deserves it.’ Kaepernick has continued training in hopes of making an NFL comeback
‘I realise I hadn’t had an education, and I tried some side jobs, 9-5 jobs and none of it worked. So I did a bit of study on how to work in something you love. That was social media, and it’s really started to take off in the last year.’
military documents posted on social media that offer a partial, month-old snapshot of the war in Ukraine, three U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, while the Justice Department said separately it was probing the leak.
In his message Francis also mentioned instability in Lebanon, expressed the hope that the “martyred Rohingya people” of Myanmar “may encounter justice”, and called for more aid for the victims of earthquakes in February that killed nearly 56,000 people in Turkey and Syria.
He had initially vowed to stay put in Kyiv despite the constant blaring of air raid sirens and attacks on residential buildings, reading help 3rd graders but decided to leave after hearing reports of Russian soldiers ‘raping’ Ukrainian women.
Kyiv estimates nearly 19,500 children have been taken to Russia or Russian-occupied Crimea since Moscow invaded, in what it condemns as illegal deportations. Moscow says they have been transported away for their own safety.

VATICAN CITY, April 9 (Reuters) – Pope Francis appeared to ask Russians to seek the truth about their country’s invasion of Ukraine in his Easter message to the world on Sunday and appealed for dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians following recent violence.
As he has done every Easter, Francis called for peace in the Middle East, his appeal made more urgent by recent violence in Jerusalem and cross-border exchanges of fire involving Israel, Lebanon and Syria.
According to Pearlman, Trump’s initial plan was to have the USFL fold and the NFL absorb the Generals as an expansion franchise. However, during a meeting with then-NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle in New York City’s Pierre Hotel in 1984, that plan was foiled.
For what it’s worth Trump has, in times gone by, been mocked on social media for being pictured with an unflattering expression when he threw a first pitch before the Red Sox played the New York Yankees in 2006.
* Russia threatened to bypass a U.N.-brokered grain deal unless obstacles to its agricultural exports were removed, while talks in Turkey agreed removing barriers was needed to extend the agreement beyond next month.
‘Rozelle said to him, “As long as I’m the commissioner, you’re never going to have a team,” Pearlman continued. ‘He didn’t trust him. He thought he was a scumbag. He didn’t say, “I think you’re a scumbag,” but Rozelle made his feelings toward Trump very well known. [Rozelle] also made them well known during the trial when he testified.’
Between the Mass and his reading of the message, Francis, appearing in fine form, was driven in a popemobile around the square and down the main boulevard leading to the River Tiber so more people could see him.
The USFL existed only briefly from 1983 until 1986, playing three 18-game seasons during that time and helped catapult the careers of gridiron greats Herschel Walker, Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Reggie White, and Doug Flutie.
But the traditional pomp and sacred singing then gave way to modern realities. Francis later went up to the central balcony of St.
Peter’s Basilica to deliver his twice-yearly “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and the world) message and blessing, addressing a crowd the Vatican estimated at about 100,000.
* More than 30 children were reunited with their families in Ukraine this weekend after a long operation to bring them back home from Russia or Russian-occupied Crimea, where they had been taken from areas occupied by Russian forces during the war.
