Macron says US made 'good decision' to lift Ukraine missile restrictions
French President Emmanuel Macron gave his outgoing US counterpart Joe Biden a pat on the back for greenlighting permission for Kiev to use US-made ATACMS into Russian territory on the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro.
Macron added that Washington's decision was prompted by Russia's "escalatory" decision to call upon DPRK troops.
Apparently Ukraine's foreign mercenary recruitment isn't escalatory though.

Indigenous Kiwis rally against equal rights bill
Around 42,000 New Zealanders rallied in front of Parliament on Tuesday, with hundreds performing a haka war dance, in one of the country's largest ever protests – against a bill that would, ironically, give everyone equal rights.
The bill seeks to reinterpret the 184-year-old treaty signed between the British and the indigenous Maori, by stripping the latter of their special status that granted preferential rights and privileges.
The protest seems to have worked as it is confirmed the bill will not get enough support to pass.

Five missiles were shot down, the Defense Ministry clarified, and one was damaged with fragments falling on the territory of a military facility, causing a fire that was extinguished shortly after.
There are no casualties or serious damage, the Ministry confirmed.

More UK prisoners transferred to less secure jails to ease overcrowding
The UK Prison Service's perfect solution includes adjusting criteria so that even prisoners resisting rehabilitation may qualify to get cozy in open prisons.
Under the proposals, moved inmates would not only participate in work or educational programs outside the facility, but also become eligible for early release after serving as little as 40% of their sentence.
Or maybe just don't jail people for memes?
