The Azov Regiment on May 10 published photos of badly wounded Ukrainian soldiers who are still holding out at the Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol, even in the face of daily attacks by Russian forces. “The while civilized world must see the conditions in which our wounded and maimed defenders of Mariupol are, and act,” a message accompanying the photos reads. The wounded are being treated in poor sanitary conditions, lacking sterile bandages, medical supplies, and even food, the Azov soldiers said. They urged the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross to act on their core values...

Just when Hillary Clinton was stepping up her complaints about media bias, it turns out her bigger problem is media aversion. The way in which the Democratic nominee and her team utterly botched the belated disclosure of her pneumonia took a modest problem and made it a thousand times worse. It reinforced the image of excessive secrecy and calculated non-disclosure that has dogged Clinton throughout this campaign. It made a mockery of the campaign’s criticism of conservative critics who were speculating that she was really sick. And it was all totally unnecessary. I can’t say it any better than former...

For 16 months and 14 days, she had been a presidential candidate. For six years before that, a senator and candidate-in-waiting. So now, as her campaign ended in defeat Tuesday night and Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared before her supporters, the question was what she would do next..... She gave a strong, strikingly selfless speech, recalling the working-class voters -- nurses, farmers, teachers, miners -- she met on the road during the campaign, and promising to work for them in terms that rang even more true in the absence of a campaign ahead.....

An asteroid at least 500 feet long will make a rare close pass by Earth next week, but there is no chance of an impact, scientists reported Thursday. The object, known as 2007 TU24, is expected to whiz by Earth on Tuesday with its closest approach at 334,000 miles, or about 1 1/2 times the distance of Earth to the moon. The nighttime encounter should be bright enough for medium-sized telescopes to get a glimpse, said Don Yeomans, manager of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which tracks potentially dangerous space rocks. However, next week's asteroid...

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Law & Order creator Dick Wolf said he was jolted by NBC's cancellation of the fourth installment of his crime drama franchise, but is looking forward to producing yet another series for the network. He's also eagerly anticipating a French version of Law & Order: Criminal Intent which, if successful, could trigger a wave of overseas adaptations of his series, Wolf said. Wolf called the planned French version of Criminal Intent groundbreaking. The series on broadcaster TF1 is likely to debut in 2006, trade paper Daily Variety reported Monday, noting that U.S. dramas have lagged behind...

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraq's al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi told Osama bin Laden in an audio tape attributed to him that he had suffered only "minor" wounds, denying reports he was seriously injured. "I think news has reached your ears through the media that I was seriously wounded ... I would like to assure you and assure Muslims that these are baseless rumors and that my wounds are minor," the voice on the tape said. "I am now with the help of God enjoying good health among my brothers and my people in Iraq," it added. The authenticity of...

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush opens the fall campaign with a slight lead over Democratic Sen. John Kerry, an Associated Press poll shows, as voters express growing confidence in the direction of the country and the performance of the incumbent. Seven weeks before Election Day, the Republican is considered significantly more decisive, strong and likable than Kerry, and he has strengthened his position on virtually every issue important to voters, from the war in Iraq and creating jobs - two sources of criticism - to matters of national security and values. Since the Democratic National Convention ended in late July,...
