Ukraine in 'mortal danger' without aid, Olena Zelenska warns

Ukraine's first lady spoke to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg a day after Republican senators in the US blocked a key aid bill.

It would have provided more than $60bn (£47.8bn) worth of support to Ukraine.

Speaking hours after a Russian missile attack, she said: "If the world gets tired, they will simply let us die."

Not only should the ReThugs get the F out of the way, the rest of the democratic world should step up aid as well.

Odds as of a couple of days ago:

Would Liz Cheney running for President help Biden?

She'll siphon some votes from Trump, right? More help or hindrance?

No Fun League (chapter 2,743)

Tyreek Hill celebrates his TD last weekend by grabbing a photog's cellphone and recording himself doing a backflip. He's then assessed a taunting penalty. But even worse, the photographer has been suspended by the league. However, Hill says he will pay the guys salary. Nice gesture.

MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said Thursday he will pay the salary of a photographer whose game credential was suspended by the NFL.

In a video posted to social media on Tuesday, photographer Kevin Fitzgibbons, who is contracted by the NFL to shoot Dolphins home games, said he was suspended for the remainder of the season "and possibly for good" by the league for his role in Hill's touchdown celebration against the Carolina Panthers during a win in Week 6.

After scoring, Hill took Fitzgibbons' cell phone and filmed himself doing a backflip, after which the photographer was seen excitedly jumping up and down before he left the field to send the clip to the NFL, according to Fitzgibbons.

"The NFL then let me know I would be suspended for the remainder of the season, and possibly for good," Fitzgibbons narrated in his video. "They said regardless [of] if I knew the celebration was coming or not, I still had to be disciplined and that I shouldn't have jumped on the sidelines after the play."
