Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Moscow of "playing with the lives of Ukrainian prisoners", after a deadly plane crash in western Russia. He demanded an international inquiry after Wednesday's crash in the Belgorod region near Ukraine's border. Russia said there were no survivors after Kyiv had downed the Il-76 plane with 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war, six Russian crew and three escorts. Moscow claimed the Ukrainians were being flown for a prisoner exchange. Ukraine's military intelligence (GUR) said it had not been told to ensure safe airspace, as on previous occasions. #news #trendingnews #ukrain

President Joe Biden has easily won New Hampshire's Democratic primary. Despite not being on the ballot, enough voters wrote his name on their ballot papers.

Additionally, the US president secured a major endorsement today in his re-election bid from the United Automobile Workers. Following Donald Trump's Republican primary win in New Hampshire, Mr Biden made this statement: "It is now clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee. And my message to the country is the stakes could not be higher." Americans will vote in November and the presidential contest is looking increasingly likely to be a Trump-Biden rematch
