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
