How Ukrainian refugees fleeing Russia’s war are settling in Wales – BBC News

Published

on



More than five million refugees from Ukraine are trying to settle into new homes across Europe.

The Welsh Government has said it’s working to find homes for about 200 Ukrainian refugees it sponsored to come to the UK, who have been staying at one of its welcome centres.

The centre, run by the Welsh youth organisation the Urdd, offers everything from education and employment support to activities for the children – but it’s due to reopen to the public later next month.

    5 million just up and left their homeland?😂 Imagine if Europeans had been so yellow in WW2? We would be living under the 3rd Reich.

    Absolutely pitiful.

    Only Ukrainians can find Wales appealing
    The rest of the planet, Welsh included, find Wales appalling

    When you say “settling”, do you mean it to be temporary or permanent? Any hope of these refugees going back to Ukraine when the war ends?

    I guess their stay is permanent.

    What about the millions murdered , maimed and tortured by the west in the Middle East ?

    Plus 10millions still suffering, living in horrible conditions in camps in the middle east.

    What is happening in Ukhraine is only 0.25% what the western countries did in the middle east.

    As a tax payer I am not happy. The Queen and Boris can support them from their rich pockets, but leave my money out of it. We got elderly, disabled who are about to be homeless. Trust me, I know, work as a bailiff. Those disabled and elderly will be choosing between heating and food next winter. Social services you say? Don't be kidding, I personally had to refuse an eviction because councils don't care about disabled or elderly. As an example, I had an old mentally incapable man that I refused to evict untill the council gets someone to help him. I can rattle on. Charity at home, if you not happy, well, rip your British passport and get out my country I live in

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
