Bahrain has put forward a draft U.N. Security Council resolution that would authorise ​countries to use “all necessary means” – diplomatic language for force – to protect commercial shipping in and around the Strait of Hormuz, according to a ‌text seen by Reuters on Monday. Diplomats said the draft text was backed by other Gulf Arab states and the United States, although they said it was unlikely to get through the council, where Russia and China had veto power.

The winner of Hungary’s April 12 parliamentary election will have to take steps to rein in social spending to shore up state finances ​amid risks to an economic recovery from the global energy price shock, ‌S&P Global said. Hungary’s budget deficit reached nearly 40% of the full-year target in the first two months of this year amid heavy spending by right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban ahead of the ballot, where the veteran ​leader faces the toughest challenge to his 16-year rule. S&P said no apparent re-balancing ​of the medium-term fiscal position after the elections, in combination with rising ⁠external pressures, could trigger a ratings…

In the United States of that period, laws in many states enforced separate schools, transportation and bathrooms based solely on race. The military was still segregated, laws prohibiting interracial marriage remained in place and many housing developments enforced “whites-only” policies. One early resident and later UN staff member, Carlos Figueroa, remembered being friends with children from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin Ameria and the Caribbean. Growing up together, they sampled cuisines, learned about their cultures and picked up on small bits of their languages. By 1952, nearly 500 United Nations families resided in Parkway.“It was enlightening to see kids from countries…

As we conclude this topic today, tell me the problem with each of the sentences below: The director frowned at the manager’s decision to sell the goods on credit. The police accused  the man of stabbing the welder on the back. Let’s see as soon as they round up the meeting.

I believe old members of the class will easily be able to spot the mishaps. Should I mention names of such people so that we…

The convener of The Alternative Movement and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Segun Showunmi, on Monday dismissed the report that the country’s growing democracy is under threat.
