*) Ukraine sees increased danger of Russian missile strikes Military authorities in the Ukrainian capital Kiev have reported an increased danger of Russian missile strikes and said anti-aircraft defences were working. Russia has allegedly launched hundreds of rocket attacks against targets across Ukraine since last October, seeking to destroy critical infrastructure and other targets. In recent weeks Ukraine said it has knocked out most of the missiles. *) Israel to vote on bill targeting human rights institutions A ministers’ committee on legislative affairs is set to discuss the security of human rights institutions in Israel. The bill, proposed by a right-wing Knesset member Ariel Kallner, targets human rights institutions rejecting the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. Dozens of Israeli human rights organisations active in Israel criticise the occupation policies in the Palestinian territories. *) Pakistan’s Imran Khan moves top court against military trial of civilians Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan has approached the country’s top court against the trial of his supporters in military courts and deployment of armed forces in parts of the country. Khan has requested the Supreme Court to term the move unconstitutional. Calling it “undeclared martial law,” Khan petitioned that the arrests, investigations, and trials under the Army Act of 1952 “amount to negation of the Constitution, rule of law and independence of the judiciary.” *) African Union warns continent must not become 'geostrategic battleground' The African Union has warned that Africa must not become a "geostrategic battleground" for global powers, as it grapples with several threats to its own peace and security. The continent of 1.3 billion people has found itself at the centre of a tussle for influence among the major powers, which has redoubled since Russia's invasion of Ukraine 15 months ago. And just as the AU marked the anniversary of the creation of its forerunner, the Organisation of African Unity, Ukraine itself announced it wanted to boost ties with Africa. *) Musk’s Neuralink ‘cleared’ for human test of brain implants Elon Musk’s start-up Neuralink has said it has received approval from the US regulators to test its brain implants in people. Neuralink said clearance from the FDA for its first-in-human clinical study is “an important first step” for its technology, which is intended to let brains interface directly with computers. On at least four occasions since 2019, Musk has predicted that his medical device company would soon start human trials of a brain implant to treat intractable conditions such as paralysis and blindness.
