MOSCOW -The end of the dominance of the U.S. dollar is nigh as the Chinese yuan rises and the rest of the world sees the peril of the West's failed attempt to bring Russia to its knees over Ukraine, one of Moscow's most powerful bankers told Reuters. Andrei Kostin, the CEO of state-controlled VTB, Russia's second largest bank, said the crisis was ushering in sweeping changes to the world economy, undermining globalization just as China was taking on the mantle of a top global economic power. Asked if he thought the world was in a new Cold War, Kostin said it was now a 'hot war' that was more dangerous than the Cold War.

The outcome of Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's corruption trial today was long awaited, as many considered the fate of the Umno president closely linked with the survival of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's government.  Zahid was, after all, instrumental in ensuring that the PKR leader achieved his decades-long ambition of becoming the prime minister, committing the support of his 30 MPs from Barisan Nasional for Anwar's Pakatan Harapan (PH) and breaking the stalemate from the hung parliament after the inconclusive results of last year's election.

THE HAGUE — The International Criminal Court (ICC) has taken the major step of issuing an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin over the Ukraine war. But does this mean that the Russian president — accused of the war crime of deporting children — is really ever likely to stand trial in The Hague? ICC member states are obliged to carry out the arrest warrants against Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia's presidential commissioner for children's rights, if they travel to their countries. But while that could make travel difficult for the Russian leader, the court has no police force of its own to enforce its warrants, and relies entirely on ICC states playing ball.

The world-first project will test a model that positions carers as 'care navigators' to help address poor life expectancy rates and serious workforce shortages. People with mental illness are almost three times more likely to die prematurely, compared to their metropolitan counterparts. Underdiagnosed and untreated chronic health conditions, such as cancer and heart disease, can reduce their life expectancy by 13-20 years. This research project seeks to tackle both the mental and physical needs of individuals for the first time.
