**Ukraine President To Address Russia at Olympics **
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to address a group of sports
ministers meeting Friday to discuss Russian participation at next year’s
Olympics.
The International Olympic Committee is working on a plan to allow Russian and
Belarusian athletes who have not actively supported the war to enter
qualifying events (排位賽) for the 2024 Summer Games in Paris despite the
ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
As Ukraine pushes for Russian athletes to be barred and threats of a boycott
mount, officials from 30 countries planned the summit to discuss how to
respond.
Zelenskyy has previously said any neutral flag for Russia would be “stained
with blood.”
He is due to address the online summit by video link.
**US Biden Rally in Florida **

AP correspondent Shelley Adler reports.
**Twitter Fails to Provide EU Report on Combating Misinformation **
Twitter has failed to provide a full report to the European Union on its
efforts to combat online disinformation, drawing a rebuke from top officials
of the 27-nation bloc.
The company signed up to the EU’s voluntary 2022 Code of Practice on
Disinformation last year — before billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought the
social media platform.
Under the code, online platforms including Google, TikTok, Facebook and
Instagram parent Meta agreed to commit to measures (措施) aimed at reducing
disinformation.
They filed their first “baseline” reports last month showing how they’re
living up to their promises.
All who signed up to the code submitted complete reports except Twitter.
Twitter didn't respond immediately to a request for comment Thursday.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded
every day in the afternoon.
