The Human Rights Council was deserted as Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke earlier. Ambassadors and Ministers from 50 countries walked out or left an empty chair. The message was clear: Russia is isolated. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

London has been named the best city in the world to be a young entrepreneur, ahead of NYC and San Fran. An analysis of Forbes 30 under 30 data found higher education is key for becoming a leading entrepreneur and London’s @imperialcollege scores highly. bit.ly/3nyWPkn
