Yet, for the second year in a row, the annual debate at the UN General Assembly is "darkened by the shadow of war, an illegal conquest brought without provocation by Russia" against Ukraine, he said, expressing strong support for Kyiv. "Russia alone bears the responsibility for this war…and has the power to end it immediately," he emphasized, asking whether the independence of any nation is secure "if we allow Ukraine to be carved up". "We have to stand up to this aggression today and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow," he said, stressing that the US, together with its allies and partners around the world, will continue to stand with Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity and their freedom.

A planet about 950 light years from Earth could be the Looney Tunes' Yosemite Sam equivalent of planets, blowing its atmospheric 'top' in spectacular fashion. The planet called HAT-P-32b is losing so much of its atmospheric helium that the trailing gas tails are among the largest structures yet known of an exoplanet, a planet outside our solar system, according to observations by astronomers. Three-dimensional (3D) simulations on the Stampede2 supercomputer of the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) helped model the flow of the planet's atmosphere, based on data from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope of The University of Texas at Austin's McDonald Observatory.

TOKYO – Japan logged a record current account deficit in January on persistent rises in the cost of importing fuel, government data showed on Wednesday. The deficit, at 1.98 trillion yen ($14.43 billion), exceeded a median market forecast of 818.4 billion yen and marked the biggest amount on record, the government said. The country's trade deficit in January was also the largest since relevant data became available in 1996, the data showed. The data underscores the pain that stubbornly high energy costs are inflicting on Japan's economy, which is heavily reliant on imports of fuel and raw material.
