Here’s how you can help cut the UK’s reliance on Russian oil and gas from your home ⬇

🔴 @MadeleineCuff

inews.co.uk/news/uk-russia…
⚡️About 40% of Russia’s government revenue comes from fossil fuel exports
⚡️And about 50% of those exports are to the EU

So when Europe heats its homes 🏠and drives its cars🚗it is sending money to Russia.
What you can do:

Turn the thermostat down⬇️

📉Turning it down by 1C will reduce energy use by around 10%
🏠Heating is one of the biggest sources of energy in most homes

'To see how much they enjoy the games and fun even when their lives have been ripped apart is hard to talk about without having tears in my eyes'.

The hospital clown in Ukraine making children laugh while also rescuing them from danger. ⬇️

inews.co.uk/news/ukrainian…
At a refugee centre in a village near Dnipro, Ukraine, hospital clown Jan Tomasz Rogala and his team are using the tools of their trade – big red noses, painted-on eyebrows, funny dancing and magic tricks – to make displaced children laugh.

Jan, who is Polish, moved to Ukraine 15 years ago with his family.

He set up a non-profit hospital clown training programme, as part of a larger Ukrainian charity, which meant that he and a new cohort of clowns could go daily to hospitals across Dnipro.

Five-year-old Elviria thought her family were going on holiday when they fled their home in Odesa as bombs began to fall.

The family are trying to reach the UK, where they have relatives but were turned away.

Pictured: Elviria with her brother Bahman, 10, and sister Mahdya, 18. Image
While they praised the staff for their support, the family were told today that they must leave the hostel because other people are arriving.

Tomorrow, the Khakimi family have a visa appointment in Paris and they’re afraid they’re going to miss it.
