Olympic ban 

A group of 35 countries, including the United States, Germany, and Australia, will demand that Russian and Belarusian athletes are banned from the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy took part in the online meeting attended by 35 ministers to discuss the call for the ban, and he pointed out that 228 Ukrainian athletes and coaches died as a result of the Russian invasion. Ukraine has threatened to boycott the games if Russian and Belarusian athletes compete, and Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk said that Russians would win medals of blood, deaths, and tears if they were allowed to take part. 

However, according to officials, it wasn’t time to talk about a boycott yet, because most participants of the meeting, except for Greece, France, and Japan, were in favor of an absolute exclusion of Russian and Belarusian athletes. Almost 18 months before the Olympics are due to start, the International Olympic Committee is desperate to calm the waters and not jeopardize the Games’ message of global peace, and it suggests that Russian and Belarusian athletes could compete as neutrals.

Paris will give 700,000 air tickets to lure tourists and businesses back to the city.

On Monday, a global publicity campaign launched called ‘Hello France’; it launched with dancers and flashing neon lights in the city’s main convention center beside its famous harbor.

Philippines oil spill 

Volunteers and coastguard personnel tried to clean up a devastating oil spill from the sunken tanker MT Princess Empress that has washed up on the shores of the Philippines’ Mindoro Island and stained most of its beaches.

People collect the oil, wipe the rocks and gather the debris along the shore. After they clean an area, more oil comes back with the tide.

On Monday, authorities said that they have found the tanker and they planned to deploy a remotely-operated autonomous vehicle to pinpoint its exact location. The tanker is thought to be lying at about 366 meters below sea level, off Oriental Mindoro province. It was carrying about 800,000 liters of industrial fuel when it suffered engine trouble on 28 February in rough seas.

Marine scientists said that about 36,000 hectares of coral reefs, mangroves, and sea grass were potentially in danger.
