Media bias shown up by Rwanda concept

 I looked at the Daily Mail on line this morning.  The banner headline first word read "Fury" what were we all supposed to be 'furious about' -the government plan to send illegal 'boat people  at Boris plan to send illegal immigrants claiming asylum to be processed in Rwanda.

Actually of course far from being furious a large number of people -probably a majority- were rejoicing that at last some sort of plan had finally come about to sort out the scandal of bogus asylum seekers. so why didn't the Daily Mail headline read "Rejoicing" rather than "Furious" - media bias of course -although in this case I was surprised at the Daily Mail printing a headline more in keeping with the Guardian. 

Mariupol -a medieval siege

The siege of Mariupol is developing into a medieval siege -with the Russian army reluctant to fight its way into the centre knowing it would suffer high casualties in vicious close contact Urban warfare.  So instead it is resorting to trying to shut down all entries and exits and starve the inhabitants and garrison into submission. That of course is the reason why the Russians are refusing to allow civilians to leave the city -the more people trapped in Mariupol the faster the food will run out -it is that simple. 

Mariupol is a key strategic city. As long as Ukraine holds it the Russian 'war aim' of linking the Crimea with Mother Russia by land can not be achieved. It would be a tremendous blow to Ukraine if it fell which leads me to wonder whether Ukraine will not make a major effort to break through the Russian siege lines sometime in the near future.
