NAGORNO-KARABAKH — The first group of ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh have arrived in Armenia, days after the enclave was seized by Azerbaijan.They entered shortly after local officials announced plans to move those made homeless by the fighting.Azerbaijan captured the area inhabited by some 120,000 ethnic Armenians early this week and says it wants to re-integrate them as “equal citizens”.But Armenia has warned they may face ethnic cleansing.Around 40 people were part of the first group to leave. Armenia says it will help anyone who leaves but has repeatedly said a mass exodus would be the fault of the Azerbaijani authorities.In a TV address on Sunday, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashanyan said that many inside the enclave would “see expulsion from the homeland as the...

Panic in Nagorno-Karabakh but Azerbaijan rejects fears of ethnic cleansing
NAGORNO-KARABAKH — It took just 24 hours for Azerbaijan’s military to force the surrender of an enclave that is home to 120,000 ethnic Armenians.What happens next to the men, women and children in this corner of the South Caucasus is a source of increasing anxiety.For all of Azerbaijan’s promises, Armenians there fear for their future and whether they will be forced to leave — or worse.Siranush Sargsyan has just visited several shelters in the regional capital when she fires off a series of voice messages and declares there is “literally nothing to eat”.“I don’t know anyone who wants to stay here. I have very close elderly relatives who lost their sons in previous wars and they prefer to die here,” she said.“But for most people, for my generation, it’s already their...

British women do more than their fair share of washing and ironing.
Women still do more housework in UK, survey suggests
LONDON — A clear majority of Britons agree household chores should be shared — but women generally do them, an annual survey of public views suggests.More than three-quarters of respondents to the British Social Attitudes Survey said domestic labor should be split.Yet two-thirds said women do more than their fair share of washing and ironing. And most said women still do most of the cleaning and cooking.But ideas on gender roles have changed considerably since the mid-1980s.Back then, 48% agreed with the statement "a man's job is to earn money and a woman's to look after the home."In this year's survey, just 9% agreed.But 63% of women said they did more than their fair share of the housework.And just 22% of men said they shouldered most of the burden, with 32%...

Poland stops supplying weapons to Ukraine as grain row escalates
WARSAW — One of Ukraine's staunchest allies, Poland, has said it is no longer supplying weapons to its neighbor, as a diplomatic dispute over grain escalates.Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Poland's focus was instead on defending itself with more modern weapons.Poland has already sent Ukraine 320 Soviet-era tanks and 14 MiG-29 fighter jets and has little more to offer.However, the remarks coincide with high tensions between the two neighbors.On Tuesday, Poland summoned Ukraine's ambassador over comments made by President Volodymyr Zelensky at the United Nations after Poland, Hungary and Slovakia extended a ban on Ukrainian grain.Zelensky said it was alarming how some of Ukraine's friends in Europe were playing out solidarity "in a political theatre — making...

UK easing transition to electric vehicles — Sunak
Sunak delays petrol car ban in major shift on green policies
LONDON — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has delayed a ban on new petrol and diesel cars in a major change to the government’s approach to achieving net zero by 2050.The prime minister announced exemptions and delays to several key green policies, alongside a 50% increase in cash incentives to replace gas boilers.The government could not impose “unacceptable costs” linked to reducing emissions on British families, he said. Sunak denied he was “watering down” the government’s net zero commitments.The changes come as Sunak seeks to create dividing lines with opposition parties ahead of a general election, expected next year.Framing the changes as “pragmatic and proportionate”, the prime minister has unpicked several of Boris Johnson’s key policies, many of them...
