Hundreds of Syrian paratroopers took part in a joint drill with their Russian counterparts in the war-torn country in the second joint maneuver this month, state media reported. It said the aim was to train Syrian paratroopers how to respond in varied circumstances.

If you're retiring, you need to make smart financial decisions to ensure you're comfortable in your later years. This is especially important when it comes to Social Security since you'll likely rely on these benefits to help you cover your costs -- especially since they adjust due to inflation and don't run out during your lifetime. Unfortunately, Social Security's benefits program can be complicated, and not understanding the rules can have consequences.
England have been hit by a Covid-19 outbreak ahead the fourth day of their Headingley Test against New Zealand after wicketkeeper Ben Foakes tested positive.
The people living in the ruins of Sirte's 600 Block district have waited years for help removing rubble and rebuilding homes damaged by warfare, but despite a new Libyan government making the city its headquarters, they have little hope of change. "Each government comes and takes photos of the damage and does nothing for us," said Badr Omar, an English teacher who lives in two rooms behind bare concrete blocks, the front part of his home still smashed after being hit by a rocket. Omar's struggles, in a city that has alternately been run by nearly every powerful faction in Libya, demonstrate how the oil-rich country's divided rulers have been less focused on governing than on fighting or exploiting state resources.

What's more, every big decline in the major U.S. indexes throughout history has served as a stellar buying opportunity for patient investors.

The world's central bank umbrella body, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), has called for interest rates to be raised "quickly and decisively" to prevent the surge in inflation turning into something even more problematic. The Swiss-based BIS has held its annual meeting in recent days, where top central bankers met to discuss their current difficulties and one of the most turbulent starts to a year ever for global financial markets. Surging energy and food prices mean inflation in many places is now its hottest in decades.
