Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24 and has resulted in hundreds of casualties and displaced millions of people.

In a joint statement issued on Sunday and signed by Catherine Russell, executive director, UNICEF; Natalia Kanem, executive director, UNFPA, and Tedros Ghebreyesus, director-general, WHO, the organisations said the war in Ukraine is seriously affecting the provision of healthcare, especially to vulnerable persons.

“Today, we call for an immediate cessation of all attacks on health care in Ukraine,” the statement reads.

Rihanna has left Def Jam Records, signs with Jay Z’s Roc Nation

Rihanna has left Def Jam, and signed with Jay Z’s Roc Nation label, which he moved from Columbia Records to Universal a little under a year ago. Def Jam no longer has Rihanna officially listed as an artist, whereas Roc Nation does (she was previously only listed under management, as she’s been managed by Roc Nation for some time now). This is a huge boost for Roc Nation, who now has 3 legitimate superstars on their label: Rihanna, Jay Z &  J. Cole . We’re expecting a new Rihanna album some time this year, so it’ll be interesting to see how that goes. This will be her first album since 2012?s  Unapologetic , and the first time in her career she’ll be releasing an album through a label other than Def Jam.

Sorry Kourtney: (L-R) Kim and Khloe Kardashian left their elder sister in the shade in Calabasas on Friday   Kim teamed her trousers – which quite frankly looked like they had been sprayed on – with a pair of matching high heels with thin straps that laced around her ankles. The 33-year-old also sported a low-cut grey T-shirt under a black blazer and wore her jet-black hair in a severe ponytail. It is just one month until she will marry her baby daddy Kanye West, and Kim appears to have been shedding for the wedding.   Sister act: Kim an...
