Young Syrian refugee lost dream cabin crew job over passport mix-up
07:00am, Wednesday, 16'th Feb 2022 The Guardian
Confusion over his paperwork has cost him £1,000 and the chance to build a new life I am chair of a voluntary organisation, Bromsgrove and Redditch Welcome Refugees. One of our Syrian refugees, brought here under the government’s “vulnerable persons relocation scheme” three years ago, has been let down by Ryanair. Last May he was accepted on a cabin crew training course with the airline, with support from Worcestershire county council. He had previously submitted his Home Office travel document and the council was assured when it checked it that it was valid. Eight months later, the day before the in-class training began, he was told in a two-line email that he was being “removed” from the course as he did not have a full UK passport. By then he had spent more than £1,000 on course requirements, completed the online training, and terminated his contract with his employer. Continue reading…

Air traffic over Ukraine shutting down as Russia prepares to invade
06:00pm, Sunday, 13'th Feb 2022 UAWire
Western insurance companies are stopping insuring airlines flying over the territory of Ukraine, practically closing the sky over the country. The Ukrainian news outlet Strana.ua reports, citing sources in the insurance market, that on Sunday the largest British insurance companies, which reinsure other insurers, sent out a notice that within 48 hours insurance coverage for flights going to and out Ukraine will not be provided. "Not a single plane will fly to or out of Ukraine starting from about the middle of the day on Monday," the source said. The same information was confirmed by the owners of private jets. Insurance coverage for their aircraft will be revoked if they are in Ukraine, and therefore the aircraft should be withdrawn from Ukraine to the European zone. Most likely, starting Monday, 4pm Kyiv time, the air traffic over Ukraine will come to a halt, writes the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the European Solidarity faction. It is from this time (14.00 London time) that there will be no insurance coverage for civil aircraft that are in the Ukrainian airspace, Goncharenko claims.
Lithuanian PM Warns Russia May Not be Bluffing Over Ukraine
08:21pm, Saturday, 12'th Feb 2022 The Daily Telegraph
Lithuanias Prime Minister Ingrida Simonyte warned in an interview on Friday, February 11, against assuming Russia was bluffing in regard to the possible invasion of Ukraine. Speaking to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) in Kyiv, Simonyte said Russias invasions of Georgia in 2008 and Crimea in 2014 had prompted a change in how Russias ambitions are viewed. Ten years ago, 12 years ago, before Georgia, nobody actually believed there can be an invasion in the bright day of a sovereign country, Simonyte said, adding that there was no real reaction to Russias actions. Simonyte, however, said Lithuania believed Russias ambition was to expand. I call this Soviet Union 2.0, but some other analysts would say this mission is more about empire, Russian empire, than the Soviet Union, she said. But this ambition is actually real that you can risk things like that in the middle of the day in the 21st century. So, after Crimea, I think there was quite a significant shift, and quite a significant awakening, but I still think quite many might take what is happening for bluffing, she said.
