Russian drone attack targets Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine
The Russian military launched a large-scale drone attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, authorities reported early on Friday. At least eight people were injured in the attack, including two teenagers, military governor Oleh Syniehubov wrote on Telegram. The strike, which involved at least eight combat drones, targeted a "municipal enterprise," Mayor Ihor Terekhov said, without providing further details. He added that a major fire broke out on the company premises. The Russian military has been intensifying its attacks on major Ukrainian cities for several weeks, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence, which started in February 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Psychiatrist: Hamp was ‘acutely and severely psychotic' the night he killed his girlfriend
A forensic psychiatrist who assessed Thomas Hamp after fatally stabbed his girlfriend said he was 'acutely and severely psychotic' the night of the attack. Dr. Shabehram Lohrasbe testified and provided Court of King's Bench a 25-page psychiatric assessment Monday, where he said obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia spectrum disorder and cannabis use disorder were all 'relevant' to Hamp's psychosis but said he couldn't tell how much which of the three contributed. Hamp is accused of second-degree murder in the death of Emily Sanche on Feb. 20, 2022. Hamp does not deny killing Sanche. His defence lawyer is arguing he is not criminally responsible because he was suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the attack. Lohrasbe told the court Hamp 'was out of touch with objective reality' when he stabbed Sanche. 'I think the information I have suggests that mental disorder was the primary factor,' Lohrasbe said. Lohrasbe was hired by the defence to conduct his assessment, which took place over two in-person meetings and one virtual meeting. With roughly 40 years of experience and hundreds of testimonies in court, Lohrasbe said he had never seen anything like the detailed notes and documentation he also pored over as part of his assessment. Sanche was studying to obtain her master's degree in counselling and kept detailed notes of Hamp's condition in the weeks leading up to the attack.

'I have rarely seen something so poignant and so close to the tragic events in question,' Lohrasbe said. Hamp believed he and Sanche were the targets of a secret police, that he was surrounded by pedophiles and his medication would brainwash and chemically castrate him. The trial originally began in September 2024, but had to be adjourned because of letters Hamp wrote to his parents while in jail. These letters weren't turned over to police or the court until shortly before the trial began, and Lohrasbe needed to review his assessment before testifying. A previous batch of letters was used in evidence in the trial, where Hamp wrote he believed his paranoia and ensuing psychosis were caused by the weed he was smoking. Hamp previously told the court he quit smoking weed two days before the attack after Sanche believed it was contributing to his delusions and asked him to stop. On Monday, Lohrasbe testified cannabis use and schizophrenia can heighten a mental disorder. On the night of the attack, Lohrasbe said Hamp's 'moral compass was hijacked by his psychotic episode' and the idea of killing Sanche came abruptly. According to Lohrasbe's testimony, Hamp believed he needed to kill Sanche and himself to avoid a worse fate. Hamp believed Sanche would be made to breed and tortured to death. Hamp stabbed himself and recovered in hospital. The trial continues Tuesday with the Crown cross-examining Lohrasbe.

Treating anorexia by nourishing the heart
Warren Ward's patients are often critically ill with diseases like anorexia. Warren says asking someone with anorexia to eat is like asking an arachnophobe to put their hand in a jar full of spiders. As a psychiatrist, Warren uses psychotherapy to help his patients. He encourages those with an eating disorder to approach their mental illness as one part of their whole self. His interest in the mystery of human nature informed his study of philosophy, and led him to examine the love lives of philosophers. Further information Originally broadcast in February 2022.
