Video evidence does not show the moment Bettinger made the comment, but it does show the aftermath of protesters banging on her car, yelling obscenities at her, and making fun of her for crying as she called her mother and the police

The Russian defence ministry said: 'Unmanned aerial vehicles of the Aerospace Forces carried out missile strikes on a self-propelled artillery battery of 122mm howitzers and military hardware of the Ukrainian armed forces.

STORY time "I steal Mark's word, ADIEU, and follow it up with STORY. Then it's just a matter of putting all the letters I uncovered into the spots I think they're in, and banging my head on the table, saying, 'I'm not this stupid, am I?' until I figure it out." --Oscar Gonzalez

However, in recent days there have been signs of more western strikes, with one person being killed overnight in a missile attack near Lviv, the closest strike yet to the centre of the western city - where thousands have fled to.

Once Kyiv is surrounded, US intelligence believes the plan will be for Russian special forces to move in and seize an airport - likely Sikorsky or Boryspil - which would then be used to fly in a much larger force of up to 10,000 paratroopers who would assault the capital.

CHEAT, and try the NYT Spelling Bee "I've been playing around with using FIRST, MANIC or CHEAT to start with. I don't know if that says more about my frame of mind than my word solving skills, but this approach has pretty much led to me solving within three words. (I got PANIC the other day in two!) But I have to say that while I enjoy Wordle, I'm still a bigger fan of the NYT's Spelling Bee, where you're asked to create words using seven letters, and each word has to use the letter at the center of the puzzle. I play Spelling Bee with my husband (he gets half the points to Genius; I get the other half). With Wordle, we play against each other to see who can solve faster. So Spelling Bee just seems nicer." --Connie Guglielmo

Guess it in two "My ultimate goal in Wordle is to guess the word by my second try. To that end, I use STEAR as my first word, which provides a solid set of letters in unusual positions -- so I can often predict where they'll go if they turn up yellow. From there, I make aggressive guesses, even if they're strategically inadvisable (duplicate letters, few vowels, low-likelihood letters, etc.). Since starting this strategy, my average is about the same as ever, but now I occasionally win in two guesses. So, success?" --David Priest

She insists she told a trucker blocking the road she was glad he was there to avoid a repeat of the 2017 Unite the Right rally, when a white supremacist struck and killed anti-racism protester Heather Heyer. But Bryant claimed Bettinger had suggested she wished to harm George Floyd protesters 

According to an online biography of the future royal, Sophie 'has a keen interest in violence prevention and women's human rights, themes on which she has conducted research in the Middle East and Caucasus, as well as a passion for efforts which help build global consensus and bridge voices of the Global North and South.

In their single paragraph ruling, the student jury wrote: 'We the judges of this trial panel find that your actions on July 17th were shameful and put members of the community at risk. You yourself acknowledged saying "it's a good thing you are here because, otherwise, these people would have been speed bumps."' 

The student, who has dual Dutch/Canadian citizen, has a Bachelor's degree in Politics and East European Studies from University College London (UCL) and a Masters in Science from the University of Oxford. 

And check out this CNET TikTok, which recommends starting with ADIEU and then throwing in STORY. It's a great one-two punch that covers a lot of popular letters. The very first time I tried it out, I was able to use the letter info I gained from those guesses to get the word easily on my third attempt.

Harrowing images from inside Kyiv have emerged showing citizens, including a child enjoying a moment on a swing, outside their homes in a 10-storey building after the apartment block's windows were blasted out and a two-metre crater filled with rubble formed after a missile strike on Friday morning

The other alleged incident was supported by another witness, but the report said the person contradicted themselves and Bryant later changed her mind and admitted she may have heard the statement wrong. 

To raise awareness for her condition and help others in a similar situation, Ms Stout launched a TikTok profile with over 21,000 followers and her most popular video being viewed by over 472,000 people.

'I do not get brush burns or rug burns, instead, the top layer(s) will pull away, which is especially the case if I already have a blister, but it still frequently happens, even when there is no blister in sight.'

However, since gaining her following, she has had to put up with trolls calling her 'gross' and dehumanizing her by asking intrusive questions like whether she can have sex when her skin can not tolerate friction.
