A Guardian report describes Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in Ukraine's Kherson region, as 'hell on earth', saying the few remaining residents are reduced to eating weeds to survive. The account highlights severe food shortages, destroyed infrastructure and the dangers of life under occupation, drawing renewed attention to the humanitarian crisis in the occupied east bank of the Dnipro river.

A powerful nor'easter storm has struck the US east coast, bringing heavy winds that have knocked out power to homes across the region. The Guardian reports the storm has also been linked to at least one death. Residents and officials are dealing with downed lines, damage and ongoing outage restoration efforts as the system moves through.
