🚀🇺🇸 The US could use the Ukraine crisis as a pretext to deploy weapons - including nuclear weapons - in space, Russia's deputy representative to the UN said.

“It is impossible to directly link the risks of the deployment of weapons in space to [Russia's] special military operation on the territory of Ukraine ... However, the fact remains that the United States and its allies will use the Ukrainian playing card as an additional argument in favor of implementing their military plans not only on land, at sea and in the air, but also in space," Andrei Belousov said.

The diplomat suggested that Washington’s refusal to discuss legally binding means to prevent an arms race in outer space over the past decade-and-a-half “speaks for itself".

😢A 22-month-old boy riding in an SUV with his twin sister, mom, and grandmother was crushed to death when a concrete-mixing truck flipped off an overpass and landed on his family's vehicle in Houston, Texas.

The incident happened just before 2:30 p.m. Friday along Beltway 8 East and Woodforest Boulevard, where people working nearby were stunned to see the freak occurrence happen in front of them.

According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the concrete mixer was heading southbound on the beltway when it began to rain. The truck then lost control on the slick roadway, crashed through a barrier wall, and flew off the overpass and toward the frontage road below.

In a moment of tragic timing, the heavy truck landed on an SUV going through the intersection. Despite the best efforts, the boy died at the scene. The women and the girl suffered only minor injuries, and they were taken to the hospital.

🇧🇷🔎Brazil's federal police on Saturday arrested five more men in an investigation into the murder of British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira in the Amazon rainforest in June.

Police said in a statement that seven arrest warrants were issued for illegal fishing in the Vale do Javari region, the remote area close to the border with Colombia and Peru where Phillips and Pereira disappeared on June 5.

The region has been invaded by illegal fishermen, loggers, and gold miners. Police say it is a key drug trafficking route.

Phillips, a freelance reporter who wrote for the Guardian and the Washington Post, was doing research for a book on the trip with Pereira, a former head of isolated and recently contacted tribes at federal indigenous affairs agency Funai.
