The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of responsibility for the war crime of illegal deportation of children from Ukraine. In its first warrant for Ukraine, the ICC called for Putin's arrest on suspicion of unlawful deportation of children and unlawful transfer of people from the territory of Ukraine to the Russian Federation. Russia, which is not a party to the court, said the move was meaningless. Moscow has repeatedly denied accusations that its forces have committed atrocities during its invasion of its neighbor.

Clive Bibby I have never made a secret of where my political allegiances lie or that l think we need a different government ASAP. But come October, l will put all my energies into trying to persuade anybody who wants to listen that we all have an opportunity to choose a coalition of parties that will truly represent all the citizens of this country — even those who don't vote for them. And if elected based on the ability to form a coalition government, this refreshingly different construct will have the capacity to govern in the best interests of us all.
