Compare this training of Ukrainians in the UK (10,000, a division!) to what we've seen of Russians if they get any training at all. The time/investment to ensure the Ukrainians are trained will have big returns. Training increases morale/motivation. They know their leaders care.

More New York. The 9/11 museum is a difficult subject matter but is a superb design, even retaining the structural footprints. Hardest part is listening to calls to emergency services or loved ones from the towers of Flight 93 😪

More traditional shots, including the eponymous yellow cabs

Final pics from New York. First 2 are the fabulous The Dead Rabbit a must visit (booking recommended) downtown. After eight cocktail (wow). 3rd a yum stew and grits at Red Rooster Harlem and finally great 70s bar The Honey Well in Harlem. Explore NY more widely, its worth it.

Some of the best of Yorkshire. Halifax Piece Hall, Waterstones in Bradford and the Corn Exchange in Leeds. #visitwestyorkshire
