The Russian envoy attending the United Nations Security Council meeting on president Vladimir Putin’s behalf was told to “stop the war” after he objected to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech on Wednesday. Russia’s ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia protested the council president’s decision to allow Mr Zelensky to speak before the 15 council members. “We would like to ask you on what basis you are proposing to allow president Zelensky to speak before the members of the council, many of whom are represented by the heads of states and governments,” the Russian envoy said, accusing the Albanian state of demonstrating “open disregard for the procedures and practices of the UN security council”. Albanian prime minister Edi Rama shot back at the Russian leader: “I must say that coming from you all this lecture of violating the rules in this building is quite an impressive shot.” “You stop the war and president Zelensky will not take the floor,” he said, after noting the objection flagged by the Russian leader over the Ukrainian leader speaking before the council members had addressed the meeting. Mr Rama also cited the council rule allowing a non-member to speak first and added that “this is not a special operation by the Albanian presidency”, eliciting laughter with a quip about Russia’s insistence on referring to its offensive against Ukraine as a “special military operation”. Another heated exchange erupted at the table after Mr Nebenzia referred to Mr Rama as Albania’s prime minister and a Nato member instead of as the council president but Mr Rama declared: “I take note, and we’ll continue with our session.” Shortly after, Mr Zelensky took to X and thanked the Albanian leader for “correctly handling Russia” as he shared a video clip of the heated exchange. “Dear @EdiRamaal, today at the UNSC you showed the world how to correctly handle Russia, its lies, and its hypocrisy. I thank you for steering the presidency in such a principled manner,” he said on Twitter. The second day of the UN meeting in New York was flooded with speculations on the Ukrainian president and Russia’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov clashing for the first time in person since the invasion in Ukraine started in February last year. The two were either expected to clash, speak or totally avoid each other. In the end, Mr Zelensky and Sergei Lavrov avoided staring each other down across the UN Security Council’s famous horseshoe-shaped table as the former left before Mr Lavrov arrived. Mr Zelensky denounced Russia as “a terrorist state” while Russian ambassador Vassily Nebenzia sat facing him near the other end of the table’s arc. As the Ukrainian president launched into his remarks, the Russian briefly looked at his phone, then tucked the device away. Mr Zelensky left before Mr Lavrov’s arrival, which happened as US secretary of state Antony Blinken was accusing Russia of having “shredded” key provisions of the UN Charter. Mr Lavrov blamed the West for “a shaking of global stability as well as the exacerbation and the fomenting of new hotbeds of tension”. He said “the US and its satellites have egregiously and openly interfered in the domestic affairs of Ukraine,” heightening the risks of global conflict. He insisted that Russia has “fully” respected the provisions of the UN charter “in an interconnected way”.

A British tourist plunged 90m to his death from a ladder dubbed "stairway to heaven" in the picturesque Dachstein Mountains in Austria. The 42-year-old tourist was climbing the mountain in the North Limestone Alps when he fell off the end of the ladder. The 40-metre ladder, popular among thrill seekers, is run by Inter-Sport and is referred to as Via-Ferrata – Italian for the "iron way". It connects the lower portion of the Donnerkogel Mountain to its Grosser Donnerkogel part. Investigators ruled out any third-party negligence in the man's fall, The Sun reported. Two helicopters were deployed at the scene and the man's body was retrieved from the gully beneath the ladder. Thousands of climbers have shared their experience of ascending the popular ladder, where climbers are attached to harnesses for their safety. The ladder was promoted as the new "top" tourist attraction on the Zwieselalm for "climbing enthusiasts” by the Dachstein region tourist website. The climb was described as "not ideal for beginners". “The via ferrata on the Donnerkogel at the Zwieselalm in Gosau at Dachstein presents amazing and breathtaking views of the glacier of the Dachstein, as well as of the highest mountain of Austria – the Grobglockner,” according to the description on the tourism website. “The ladder to heaven was built by Outdoor Leadership with their professional climber Heli Putz.” An athlete was pictured balancing on the ladder with no harness in 2020, according to the outlet.
