Ukraine on Wednesday accused Russia of wilfully flouting Donald Trump’s purported “energy ceasefire” and passing up an opportunity to ease hostilities, after a renewed wave of deadly strikes across the country that also hit vital power supplies.

Kyiv in particular faced a barrage of powerful ballistic missiles and attack drones targeting energy facilities and critical infrastructure, despite the US president’s surprise weekend announcement.

Four people were killed in the city, and power to at least 600,000 people was cut after significant damage was reported to power facilities and equipment.

Power plants also came under ballistic missile attack in the eastern Kharkiv region, hitting electricity and heating infrastructure, Prime Minister Sergiy Koretsky said.

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak hosted British Prime Minister Andy Burnham at two hospitality dinners in 2017 and 2018 when Burnham was mayor of Greater Manchester, according to records cited by the BBC.

As reported by the BBC on Wednesday, the dinners, held at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium in August 2017 and April 2018, have emerged amid growing pressure on Burnham to provide full details of his dealings with the football club.

The hospitality arrangements were not specifically identified in a statement released on Monday by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), which outlined Burnham’s meetings and interactions with the club during his time as mayor.

The camp of a former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has denied reports that he was arrested by the police, challenging the Imo State Government to provide evidence of an arrest warrant it allegedly relied upon.

Okorocha’s Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, described the report of the former governor’s arrest as false, insisting that no arrest was made and no bail was granted.

However, the Nigeria Police Force confirmed that Okorocha was arrested on Monday night at the REIZ Continental Hotel in Abuja and released on bail after about an hour of interrogation over allegations of criminal conspiracy, forgery and impersonation.

The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Iniedu, said the former governor had been directed to return to the Force Headquarters for further questioning as investigations continued.
