Ukrainians tense at frontline as Russia troop build-up increases
On Friday (3 December), Ukraine’s defense minister has estimated that Russia has placed more than 94,000 troops near the borders.
The Ukrainian defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov, also noted that an escalation “is a probable scenario, but not certain, and our task is to avert it.”
Ukrainian and Western officials recently spoke up about a Russian troop build-up near the border with Ukraine, saying they feared it could indicate the beginnings of an invasion.
So far, Russia has denied planning an invasion and accused Ukraine and its Western supporters of fabricating claims to distract from their own allegedly aggressive plots.

Live: Jen Psaki holds White House press briefing
White House press secretary Jen Psaki is giving her daily White House briefing on the day that the US November jobs report came out, disappointing many in the business community.
The US added more than 200,000 jobs last month but fell considerably short of the half a million new jobs that had been forecasted by economists before the report was released.
These underwhelming numbers will be particularly concerning as they were compiled before the news of the omicron variant began to affect markets around the world.

‘Wicked’ stepmother and ‘pitiless’ father jailed for killing six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes
A “wicked” stepmother has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 29 years for cruelly abusing, poisoning and murdering her partner’s six-year-old son.
Arthur Labinjo-Hughes was left with an unsurvivable brain injury while in the sole care of “evil” Emma Tustin.
Tustin was unanimously convicted of Arthur’s murder after an eight-week trial, with the boy’s “pitiless” father, Thomas Hughes found guilty of his manslaughter, after encouraging the killing.
Jailing the pair, Mr Justice Mark Wall QC said the trial had been “without doubt one of the most distressing and disturbing cases I have had to deal with”.

Live: Biden delivers speech as unemployment falls
US President Joe Biden is delivering remarks on a November jobs report that saw more than 200,000 jobs added to the US economy but fell well short of the kind of number economists had been forecasting.
The unemployment rate also fell to 4.2% across the country, but the business community had expected more than 500,000 jobs to be added to the US economy to match the kind of numbers we saw in October.

Ralf Rangnick has admitted that he “couldn’t possibly turn down” the role of Manchester United’s interim manager, even if he is only in charge until the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
“We are talking about six and a half months, so we have only played one third of the games in the Premier League,” he said of taking over mid-season.
“As you know we have agreed upon a two-year advisory role after... In the end, if a club like Manchester United contacts you for such a role you cannot possibly turn it down.”

Trafalgar Square Christmas tree lights switched on
The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree which has attracted a lot of heat on social media for its unusually slim appearance had its lights switched on on Thursday (2 December) with London mayor Sadiq Khan in attendance.
Norway provides the tree that is placed in the square in central London every year to honour old allegiances dating back to the Second World War between the two countries.
Richard Wood, British ambassador to Norway, has defended the tree given from Norway saying that it is appreciated “by the vast majority” of the public.
