The article describes how Russia commemorates the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II and explores the significance of this historical event in current Russian society and politics. It mentions a historical reenactment of the 1945 Battle of Berlin held in the town of Dubna, 80 miles from Moscow, which attracted a large audience. For many Russians, the victory in World War II is an important part of national identity and is used to support the current political narrative that portrays Russia's military actions in Ukraine as a continuation of the fight against Nazism. The article also discusses how Russian media uses this historical event to shape public opinion and notes that Russia's military operation in Ukraine has not achieved the expected victory. The article concludes with the memories and poetry of a 98-year-old veteran, Fyodor Melnikov, highlighting the cost of war and the remembrance of friends and family who never returned.

Pakistan's decision to close its airspace due to conflict with India led to the cancelation or rerouting of 10 flights from EVA Airways and China Airlines today, the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Web site showed.

Pakistan closed its airspace after a series of strikes conducted by India early this morning against what the latter called "known terror camps," in response to an April 22 mass shooting.

As a result, several flights to and from the Taoyuan airport are being rerouted or delayed for safety reasons, the airport operator said today.

So far, 10 flights have been affected, including China Airlines flights that departed yesterday between Taoyuan and Frankfurt, Prague, Amsterdam, Rome and London, which have landed in Bangkok.

China Airlines' Taipei to London flight today was canceled.

China Airlines said it had activated its contingency plan and "taken a series of measures to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew," without elaborating.

Yesterday's EVA Air flights from Amsterdam-Bangkok-Taipei and London-Bangkok-Taipei were not canceled, but did have to change route, while the airline's Taipei to Paris flight was rerouted, but remains in service.

Flight BR62 from Vienna to Bangkok returned to Vienna yesterday, the airline said, and today's BR95 flight from Taoyuan to Milan was diverted to Vienna to refuel before continuing onto Italy.

EVA Air would continue to monitor the situation and adjust flight routes to avoid affected airspace to ensure safety of its crew members and passengers, it said.

Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine many Europe-bound flights from Taiwan overflew Russia, but Taiwanese airlines are now banned after Taipei joined in Western sanctions on Moscow and generally fly over India, Pakistan and Central Asia.

Korean Air said it had begun rerouting its Seoul Incheon-Dubai flights today, opting for a southern route that passes over Myanmar, Bangladesh and India, instead of the previous path through Pakistani airspace.

Thai Airways said that flights to destinations in Europe and South Asia would be rerouted starting early this morning, warning this could cause delays to some flights.

Vietnam Airlines said that the tensions between India and Pakistan had affected its flight plans and would provide details regarding rerouting schedules later.

Ohtani joined the Dodgers on a 10-year $700m (£527m) contract - the biggest deal in the sport's history - in December after leaving the Los Angeles Angels.

It made him one of the highest-earning athletes in the world.

MLB ambassador and former World Series winner Chase Utley told BBC Sport Ohtani is "truly one of a kind".

"To do it in his first year in a Dodgers uniform is pretty special. He has separated himself - I don't think there is a question - as the best [current] player in all of baseball," Utley said.

"If he continues this pace throughout the course of his contract he will go down as the best player to ever play the game. You couldn't have dreamed of a season like that.

"He can really do it all. You don't see a player who has the ability to hit the ball over the fence but also steal that many bases.

"He is the first to do it and I can't imagine many are going to do it any time soon - I'm not sure I see it happening ever, to be honest."

Ohtani has played 866 MLB games, the most among all active players to have never played in the post-season until now, after the Dodgers made the play-offs for a 12th straight year.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said: "While Shohei Ohtani has been a groundbreaking player for many years, his latest feat as the first 50-50 player in the history of Major League Baseball reflects not just his amazing power-and-speed talent, but his character, his drive, and his commitment to all-around excellence.

"On behalf of Major League Baseball, I congratulate Shohei on this remarkable achievement. We are proud that he continues to take our game to new heights."
BBC Sport will have live coverage of Sunday's game between the Baltimore Orioles and Detroit Tigers, a crucial game in the play-off race, on BBC iPlayer, plus the BBC Sport website and app, from 18:30 BST, with coverage beginning on the Red Button at 19:30.

The top seeds in the West will next face the Denver Nuggets or the Los Angeles Clippers, who are tied at 2-2 following a dramatic 101-99 win by the Nuggets.

The Clippers surged from behind to go 97-96 up - their first lead of the game - late on before tying it at 99-99 in the final seconds in Inglewood, California.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic then missed with a second remaining, but team-mate Aaron Gordon had time to grab the rebound and beat the buzzer with a putback slam to win the game.

Game five takes place on Tuesday.

Earlier, Eastern Conference top seeds the Cleveland Cavaliers demolished the Miami Heat to take a 3-0 lead in their series.

Zendaya’s look at Monday’s Met Gala sparked buzz, especially the ring on her finger—believed by many to be an engagement ring from longtime boyfriend Tom Holland. She previously wore the same ring at the Golden Globes in January, fueling engagement rumors, though neither has confirmed it.

Holland wasn’t on the Met Gala red carpet but recently visited Zendaya on the set of her HBO show Euphoria, bringing her dog Noon along. He’s said he often skips red carpets with her to let the spotlight stay on her.

The couple, who met filming Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, confirmed their relationship in 2021 after being photographed kissing.

A secretive Russian satellite in space that US officials believe is connected to a nuclear anti-satellite weapon program has appeared to be spinning uncontrollably, suggesting it might no longer be functioning, in what could be a setback for Moscow's space weapon efforts, according to US analysts.

The Cosmos 2553 satellite, launched by Russia weeks before invading Ukraine in 2022, has had various bouts of what appears to be errant spinning over the past year, according to Doppler radar data from space-tracking firm LeoLabs and optical data from Slingshot Aerospace.

Believed to be a radar satellite for Russian intelligence, as well as a radiation testing platform, the satellite last year became the center of US allegations that Russia for years has been developing a nuclear weapon capable of destroying entire satellite networks, such as SpaceX's vast Starlink internet system that Ukrainian troops have been using.

US officials assess Cosmos 2553's purpose is to aid Russia's development of a nuclear anti-satellite weapon. Russia has denied it is developing such a weapon and says Cosmos 2553 is for research purposes.

Russia has for decades been locked in a security race in space with the US that, in recent years, has intensified and seeped into public view as Earth's orbit becomes a hotspot for private sector competition and military technologies aiding ground forces.

The satellite has been in a relatively isolated orbit some 2,000km above Earth, parked in a hotspot of cosmic radiation that communications or Earth-observing satellites typically avoid.

LeoLabs in November last year detected what appeared to be errant movements with the satellite using Doppler radar measurements from its global network of ground stations. The company in December upgraded its assessment to "high confidence" that it was tumbling based on additional radar data and imagery of the satellite taken by another space company, LeoLabs senior technical fellow Darren McKnight said.

Russia's Ministry of Defense did not return a request for comment.

"This observation strongly suggests the satellite is no longer operational," the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank, said of LeoLabs' analysis in its annual Space Threat Assessment published on Friday.

US Space Command, which tracks objects in space and has condemned Russian military satellites, said it was aware of a change in Cosmos 2553's altitude, but declined to provide further assessment on its current state.

The wealthy and retired refuse to pay the taxes necessary to sustain the health care system, so at some point it will have to be privatized, and costs will soar

On April 26, The Lancet published a letter from two doctors at Taichung-based China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) warning that "Taiwan's Health Care System is on the Brink of Collapse." The authors said that "Years of policy inaction and mismanagement of resources have led to the National Health Insurance system operating under unsustainable conditions."

The pushback was immediate. Errors in the paper were quickly identified and publicized, to discredit the authors (the hospital apologized). CNA reported that CMUH said the letter described Taiwan in 2021 as having 62 nurses per 10,000 people, when the correct number was 78 nurses per 10,000 people. The Lancet letter also confused COVID death data with the rate of patients with the COVID omicron variant requiring intubation. The Minister of Health and Welfare, Chiu Tai-yuan (邱泰源), said that the letters' criticisms were unfair to health care workers.

These errors permitted the health care system to dismiss the letter without addressing its core claims. The authors cited local nursing association data showing that 78 percent of nurses must work overtime. They also cited a 2019 study that high levels of burnout among health-care professionals drive attrition rates of 12 percent annually. Finally, they noted that strict health-care cost controls have led to stagnant wages in the industry, "with real wages declining by 18 percent since 2000."

Not surprisingly, critics did nothing to address these claims, because they are largely true and have been for years. Statistics from the Taiwan Union of Nurses Association (TUNA) show that over 300,000 licenses have been issued, but only 190,000 nurses were actually working as of Dec. 31, 2023, a situation I first heard discussed by high-level nursing educators over a decade ago. Because the system has a permanent nursing deficit and refuses to make meaningful changes to its work arrangements, hospitals force nurses to work overtime. This leads to periodic protests by nurses, after which nothing happens and the system returns to permanent crisis mode.

A 2022 statement from the Taiwan Association of Emergency Medicine made arguments similar to those in The Lancet letter. One fallout from the nursing shortage is ward closure. With wards closed, critically ill patients are forced to remain in the emergency ward, reducing the ability of emergency wards to serve the public. Hence, one important recommendation of the statement was an adjusted payout system to fund emergency wards and ward re-opening when demand is high.
GLOBAL BUDGET PAYMENT SYSTEM
Photo courtesy of Chang Gung Hospital

The payout system is the subject of much criticism. The Lancet letter exampled "rigid global budget payments" as a major system problem. A November journal article in the Journal of the Formosan Medical Association on the woeful state of Taiwan's hospital pediatric care system since the pandemic recommended that health care expenditure as a percentage of GDP be increased, and the National Health Insurance Act (全民健康保險法) be amended "to eliminate the global budget payment system."

The global budget system was implemented in 2000. "At the outset," the writers of the piece on pediatric care note, planners "anticipated that the system would be operational for a limited duration, primarily to address the financial crisis. However, the system's utility to politicians was such that it has remained in place for 24 years."

The global budget system has two key features: a fixed budget, and a floating point cap. The cap adjusts downward as health care expenditures by front-line hospitals rise. For example, when those expenditures are low, it pays NT$1 for every NT the hospital claims. When hospital claims rise, the floating point figure falls (it is adjusted every three months), to as low as NT$0.6. This means that if the hospital claims NT$100,000 in expenses, it receives NT$60,000. Thus, the per-patient payout falls as the number of patients rises: the more patients a hospital services, the greater the cost it bears. This enables the government to keep the global health budget fixed and transfers the cost burden to hospitals, threatening their existence. The public doesn't care because services are cheap, and politicians are happy because the budget is easy to "balance" and doesn't become a constant political headache.

Most importantly, it doesn't require new taxes.

The term "collapse" is often thrown around in discussions of the health care system, but it isn't going to collapse. It is simply going to go bankrupt, eroding slowly away. At present wards are being closed, services are being curtailed, and health care professionals are seeking other options since hospitals must work them to death merely to stay afloat. This can continue for years. It has already.
REVENUE GENERATORS
The pernicious result of this budgetary pressure is the need for doctors to become revenue centers. When I had a problem with my knee and I became increasingly unable to walk, I saw a succession of doctors, each of whom recommended a different, expensive therapy. The last doctor said none of those would work, so why not just go directly to knee replacement? Luckily a friend suggested a simple change to my diet that worked.

Another pernicious effect: in a system where doctors are revenue generators, nurses are costs. That is the fundamental reason they are ruthlessly overworked. Yet another effect are caps on system use, unknown to the public until they are encountered. For example, as the Chinese-language Liberty Times (the Taipei Times' sister newspaper) article observed last week, if a patient requires medicines after successful breast cancer treatment, the government only pays for two years. Everything after that is out-of-pocket.

The government treats the health care system the same way it treated Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, 台電), Taiwan Railway Corp (TRC) and many other government programs and agencies: it maintains them in a state of permanent crisis. It passes fixed budgets, keeping government payouts low and enabling taxes to remain absurdly low, and lets the entity in question pile up debts. In the health care system, the debt is absorbed by the hospitals as costs and by their staff in the form of lower salaries and unrelenting overwork. This is not sustainable. Since the rich and the now-retired miracle generation refuse to pay the taxes necessary to sustain the system, at some point the hospital system will have to be privatized somehow, and costs will skyrocket.

In May of last year, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) legislators proposed amending the NHI Act to say that when the floating point cap falls below 1, the government must make up the difference. That would move the nation toward a system in which hospitals were paid more or less what their costs are. That move was supported by eight major health care associations.

Hsueh Jui-yuan (薛瑞元), the health minister at the time, said the NHI's global budget payment system might be harmed (wasn't that the whole point of it?) and that it "should be further deliberated."

It's still being deliberated. It will be for years to come.

Travellers should prepare for longer airport screening lines as REAL IDs roll out across the US (Credit: Alamy)

Starting tomorrow, many American citizens and residents will need a new form of ID to board domestic flights.
This week, the US government is set to implement a major change to its air travel policy that has been nearly 20 years in the making.

Starting 7 May, US citizens and residents will no longer be able to use a standard driver's license or state ID to board domestic flights. Instead, travellers will need to present a REAL ID, passport or other acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints.

Here's what you need to know.

The new REAL ID is a federally compliant DMV-issued license or non-driver ID that meets the security standards set forth by the 2005 REAL ID Act. The new ID's will be recognisable by the star or flag located in the top right corner.

"The Real ID requirement bolsters safety by making fraudulent IDs harder to forge, thwarting criminals and terrorists," Adam Stahl, TSA Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator explained in a statement. "TSA will implement REAL ID effectively and efficiently, continuing to ensure the safety and security of passengers while also working to minimise operational disruptions at airports."

All American travellers over the age of 18 will be required to present a REAL ID or another TSA-acceptable form of identification, such as a passport or permanent resident card, in order to board domestic flights anywhere in the US and its territories.

Even travellers with TSA PreCheck, are not exempt from these requirements, however, children under the age of 18 are still allowed to fly domestically without identification.

As of 7 May US travellers will be required to show a REAL ID for all domestic flights (Credit: Alamy)

To obtain a REAL ID, travellers should use this map and click on their home state or territory to determine how to apply for what specific documentation they'll need. Most travellers will generally need to make an appointment at their local DMV and bring in documents that prove their identity and lawful status. These may include proof of identity and citizenship via a passport, birth certificate or green card; proof of address in the form of utility bills or bank statements; and a social security card.

Applicants will be issued temporary identification while the REAL ID is processed and mailed, which can take several weeks. The cost to obtain the new ID varies from state to state, so it's recommended to check with the local Department of Motor Vehicles.

What happens if US travellers try to board a domestic flight without a REAL ID?

American travellers without a REAL ID, passport or other acceptable form of identification will be subject to additional screening and may be turned away and not allowed to board their flights. According to their website, without a REAL ID: "The TSA officer may ask you to complete an identity verification process, which includes collecting information such as your name and current address to confirm your identity."

While other non-passport forms of identification may be presented in lieu of a REAL ID, such as enhanced ID or a DHS trusted traveller card such as Global Entry. However, the website also warns that this list is subject to change, so travellers should be sure to double check with TSA to confirm before arriving at the airport.

Why does the government now require REAL IDs?

Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a 9/11 Commission recommended the US Congress pass the REAL ID Act in order to establish more stringent security standards for driver's licenses and other identification documents. However, the COVID 19 pandemic and opposition from state governments, led to several postponements of the REAL ID roll out over the last twenty years since the Act was originally passed.

How this new rule will affect all passengers - not just US citizens

It's not only American travellers who will be affected by these new requirements. The change is expected to create longer lines at airport security checkpoints. Travellers are encouraged to arrive early for flights in order to accommodate potential longer wait times and additional screenings, ideally two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights as recommended by airlines.

Verstappen's radio messages during the race clearly indicated he did not approve of the penalty he was given, but he was warned to keep his thoughts to himself.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said he felt the penalty was "very harsh" and asked rhetorically: "Whatever happened to 'let them race on the first lap?' That just seems to have been abandoned."

The stewards' verdict contained an answer to that - it said that the normal penalty for leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage was 10 seconds, but they reduced it to five because it was the first lap.

Verstappen was penalised for cutting the chicane after the start and keeping the lead.

Piastri had got fully alongside him on the inside on the entry to the first corner. Despite this, Verstappen cut the second part of the chicane and retained the lead.

F1's driving standards guidelines effectively say that the corner was Piastri's in that situation.

They say that for a driver overtaking on the inside to be "entitled to be given room (his car) must have its front axle at least alongside the mirror of the other car prior to and at the apex, be driven in a fully controlled manner particularly from entry to apex and not have 'dived in''; and in the stewards' estimation have taken a reasonable racing line and been able to complete the move while remaining within track limits."

Piastri comfortably complied with all these criteria.

He said: "The stewards had to get involved, but I thought I was plenty far enough up (alongside) and in the end that's what got me the race.

"I knew that I had enough of my car alongside to take the corner. We obviously both braked extremely late. For me, I braked as late as I could while staying on the track. And I think how it unfolded is how it should have been dealt with."

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said: "Oscar, thanks to a very good launch off the grid, and thanks to positioning the car on the inside, [was] slightly ahead of Max, managing to keep the car within the track limits, then he gained the rights (to the corner), and obviously in that situation you can't overtake off track.

"This is a clear case. It shouldn't create any polemic, really."

Verstappen led until the first pit stops, when he served the penalty and dropped behind Piastri, who controlled the race from there to take his third win in five grands prix this season.

It included a bold move around the outside of Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari on the approach to the high-speed Turns 22 and 23 at a critical point of the race, to minimise his time loss on the lap Verstappen stopped.

Verstappen had shown strong pace in the first stint, tracked closely by the McLaren, and was pulling away slightly by the time Piastri made his stop on lap 19.

Once into the lead, Piastri controlled the race but was unable to extend the gap to Verstappen despite having the advantage of clean air.

Pakistan's decision to close its airspace due to conflict with India led to the cancelation or rerouting of 10 flights from EVA Airways and China Airlines today, the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Web site showed.

Pakistan closed its airspace after a series of strikes conducted by India early this morning against what the latter called "known terror camps," in response to an April 22 mass shooting.

As a result, several flights to and from the Taoyuan airport are being rerouted or delayed for safety reasons, the airport operator said today.

So far, 10 flights have been affected, including China Airlines flights that departed yesterday between Taoyuan and Frankfurt, Prague, Amsterdam, Rome and London, which have landed in Bangkok.

China Airlines' Taipei to London flight today was canceled.

China Airlines said it had activated its contingency plan and "taken a series of measures to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew," without elaborating.

Yesterday's EVA Air flights from Amsterdam-Bangkok-Taipei and London-Bangkok-Taipei were not canceled, but did have to change route, while the airline's Taipei to Paris flight was rerouted, but remains in service.

Flight BR62 from Vienna to Bangkok returned to Vienna yesterday, the airline said, and today's BR95 flight from Taoyuan to Milan was diverted to Vienna to refuel before continuing onto Italy.

EVA Air would continue to monitor the situation and adjust flight routes to avoid affected airspace to ensure safety of its crew members and passengers, it said.

Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine many Europe-bound flights from Taiwan overflew Russia, but Taiwanese airlines are now banned after Taipei joined in Western sanctions on Moscow and generally fly over India, Pakistan and Central Asia.

Korean Air said it had begun rerouting its Seoul Incheon-Dubai flights today, opting for a southern route that passes over Myanmar, Bangladesh and India, instead of the previous path through Pakistani airspace.

Thai Airways said that flights to destinations in Europe and South Asia would be rerouted starting early this morning, warning this could cause delays to some flights.

Vietnam Airlines said that the tensions between India and Pakistan had affected its flight plans and would provide details regarding rerouting schedules later.

The article from The New York Times titled "DOGE's Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes" discusses significant issues with the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) public ledger of federal contract savings. DOGE, led by Elon Musk, claims to have saved billions through contract cancellations. However, investigations reveal that many of these savings are overstated or inaccurate.

Key points include:

Overstated Savings: DOGE initially claimed $55 billion in savings, later revised to $65 billion. However, independent analyses suggest that actual savings are much lower, with some estimates around $2 billion.

Accounting Errors: The ledger contains significant errors, such as miscounting an $8 million contract as $8 billion, leading to inflated savings figures.

Lack of Transparency: DOGE's ledger lacks essential details, such as contract identification numbers, making it difficult to verify the claimed savings.

No Actual Savings: Nearly 40% of the canceled contracts listed are expected to yield no actual savings, often because funds were already obligated or spent.

These issues raise concerns about the accuracy and accountability of DOGE's reported savings.

Max Verstappen said he avoided speaking openly about the five-second penalty he received at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix because he was worried about possible punishment from the FIA. The Red Bull driver was penalised for leaving the track and gaining an advantage in a first-corner battle with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, a decision that likely cost him the race win.

The penalty dropped Verstappen behind Piastri after the pit stops, allowing the Australian to control the race and claim his third victory in five races this season. The win also moved Piastri to the top of the championship standings for the first time in his career. Verstappen later praised Piastri’s calm and consistent driving, calling him a strong title contender.
