KYIV — Ukraine shut the eastern town of Avdiivka to non-military personnel on Monday, describing it as a post-apocalyptic wasteland, as Kyiv tried to break the back of Russia's flagging winter offensive before a counter-assault of its own. A Ukrainian general said Kyiv was planning its next move after Moscow appeared to shift focus from the small city of Bakhmut, which Russia has failed to capture after several months of the war's bloodiest fighting, to Avdiivka further south. The Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff said in a Monday evening update that Russian forces were still trying to storm Bakhmut and had shelled the city and surrounding towns.

President Biden makes speech from a UAW picket line Presidnet Biden made history earlier this week when he became the first modern president to join striking workers on a picket line. UAW members were happy to see the president show solidarity with their cause and call out companies that have not adequately shared their profits with their workers. The president mentioned that he stood with UAW workers as an elected official in 1973 as a senator.  The UAW endorsed then-candidate Biden in April 2020 but has yet to endorse him for his 2024 run.

The Department of Energy (DOE) on Thursday said 'yellow alerts,' which indicate thinner power reserves to meet any surge in demand, are expected in Luzon during the seven weeks of the summer season—four in May and the first three of June. 'It's possible that the yellow alerts may occur in any of the seven weeks; after that, it would be about once a month in the second half of the year,' Energy Undersecretary Rowena Guevara said during the televised Laging Handa public briefing. A yellow alert does not necessarily lead to power outages.

They know it's a long shot, but private schools, colleges and universities are still trying to convince lawmakers to defer deliberations of the bicameral committee on proposals to ban the industry's 'no permit, no exam' policies. Prohibiting this practice, according to them, would result in private schools scaling down their operations and sacrificing the quality of teaching. Eventually, this would result in the demise of the private educational sector, which complements the country's public education system, they warned.
