London (TIP): Watching pornography would be unacceptable in any workplace, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on April 28 when asked about an investigation into allegations a lawmaker was seen watching explicit videos on his phone in the House of Commons. Some male politicians ‘behave like animals’: British Indian minister over MP ‘watching porn’ in Parliament. “It’s obviously unacceptable for anybody to be doing that kind of thing in the workplace. It’d be the same for any kind of job up and down the country,” Johnson told reporters when asked about the allegations during an election campaign visit.

He said the specific case reported on Wednesday, involving an unnamed member of Johnson’s Conservative Party, would need to go through the appropriate complaints procedure. (Reuters)

Russia says pumping Ukraine with weapons is threat to European security : The Kremlin said on April 28 that Western arms supplies to Ukraine, including heavy weapons, posed a threat to the security of the European continent. The comment from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added to a pattern of escalating rhetoric on both sides as the West has stepped up weapons supplies to Ukraine and Moscow has accused it of waging a proxy war against Russia.

“In itself, the tendency to pump weapons, including heavy weapons, to Ukraine and other countries are actions that threaten the security of the continent and provoke instability,” Peskov told reporters.

He was responding a question about remarks by British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who said on Wednesday that countries opposed to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine must double down on their support, including by supplying heavy weapons, tanks and planes.

Russia, whose invasion of Ukraine has killed many thousands of people and displaced millions, has consistently portrayed NATO and the West as aggressors who have forced it into defending its own security.

President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday: “If someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside, and create strategic threats for Russia that are unacceptable to us, they should know that our retaliatory strikes will be lightning-fast.” Reuters
