Nepal police fire tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets to disperse protest over US ‘gift’

Protestors angry at a proposed $500mn US aid grant apparently threatening their country’s sovereignty were targeted with tear gas and rubber bullets by police amidst violent clashes.

BoJo claims Putin “bent on full-scale invasion” - will reveal sanctions Tuesday

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will unveil a raft of sanctions to target Russian economic interests “as hard as we can” later on Tuesday after telling ministers he believes President Putin is planning a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Johnson says Putin has “gravely miscalculated” the situation in eastern Ukraine, and adds that measures to be announced later Tuesday are only the first round as he expects more Russian “irrational behavior”.

His words follow Health Secretary Sajid Javid’s comments to BBC radio earlier Tuesday putting Moscow’s actions on a par with the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

UK sanctions 5 Russian banks and 3 Russian "high-net worth individuals"

Boris Johnson has announced sanctions against 5 Russian banks and 3 individuals - Igor Rotenberg, Boris Rotenberg and Gennady Timchenko - who have had UK assets frozen and will have entry refused.

The PM said that by recognising separatist regions of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is planning "the pretext for an invasion" of the rest of Ukraine.

“If the worst happens then a European nation of 44 million men, women and children would become the target of full-scale war” PM Boris Johnson says “we must now brace ourselves for the next possible stages of Putin’s plan."
