A Russian journalist working for an investigative news website was killed by shelling in Kyiv on Wednesday, while covering the fallout of Moscow's attacks on the Ukrainian capital, her employer said.

The Insider said Oksana Baulina, who previously worked for Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny's anti-corruption group, "died under fire in Kyiv" while "filming the destruction" caused by Russian shelling.

"Insider journalist Oksana Baulina died during a bombardment in Kyiv while carrying out an editorial assignment ... another civilian died with her," the outlet, whose editorial offices are based in Latvia, said.

Ms Baulina was killed along with a civilian when Russian troops shelled a residential neighbourhood in Kyiv. Two civilians were injured, The Insider said.

The website said she left Russia after authorities designated Mr Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation an extremist organisation last year.

She continued reporting on corruption in Russia for The Insider and filed several reports from Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine for the outlet after Russian forces invaded the country a month ago, the news outlet said.

"The Insider expresses its deepest condolences to Oksana's family and friends," it said.

Ms Baulina's colleagues mourned her loss on social media.

Vladimir Milov, who worked with her at Mr Navalny's anti-corruption group, vowed to avenge her.

"I will never forget her and to all those who are responsible for her death I promise that they won't get away with [only] a trial and a verdict," Mr Milov said on Twitter.

"What an unbelievable horror," wrote Lyubov Sobol, another prominent member of Mr Navalny's team.

Sergiy Tomilenko, head of the Ukranian journalists' union, confirmed Ms Baulina's death in a statement on Facebook, saying she was reporting on the aftermath of a shelling when she was hit by fresh fire.

Earlier on Wednesday, the union said a cameraman for a local television station in the besieged southern city of Mariupol had also died.

At least five journalists have been killed since Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24. Other journalists killed include a US videographer, a French-Irish cameraman and a Ukrainian producer.

So what is Spicy Chickenjoy?

Just as McDonald’s has the Big Mac, Jollibee has Spicy Chickenjoy – a piece of fried chicken that’s crispy and spicy on the outside and comes with a side of spaghetti, all covered in tomato sauce and topped with sausage slices and ground beef. It sounds like a recipe that a child would come up with, but perhaps that’s the point – a flavourbomb combination of cheap comfort foods. Chickenjoy is Jollibee’s best-selling product in every country in which it has a presence.

Game Of Thrones Season Seven: A Bluffers Guide

Want to sound on message about the biggest show on television without actually watching it? Best not to get locked into the labyrinthine tales of revenge and royalty: as Isaac Hempstead Wright put it, all you really need to know from now on is that there’s going to be a huge fight between humans and the armies of undead White Walkers.

The season ended with a dragon captured by the Night King blowing apart the huge wall of ice that separates the human world from its less appealing counterpart. Not that some of the humans in Westeros have been particularly appealing, either.

Anyway, the White Walkers are now free to cause any kind of havoc they wish, and as Liam Cunningham told us: “Westeros may be zombie land after the Night King has finished.” If the various human factions don’t put aside their differences in season 8, we could be looking at The Walking Dead: The Medieval Years.

The Africa Institute 101

Housed on the same site as the original Africa Hall, which first hosted an Arab-African Symposium in 1976, the newly renovated building will be home to a think tank and postgraduate studies hub (it will offer master’s and PhD programmes). The centre will focus on both the historical and contemporary links between Africa and the Gulf, and will serve as a meeting place for conferences, symposia, lectures, film screenings, plays, musical performances and more. In fact, today it is hosting a symposium – 5-plus-1: Rethinking Abstraction that will look at the six decades of Frank Bowling’s career, as well as those of his contemporaries that invested social, cultural and personal meaning into abstraction.

Three ways to boost your credit score

Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:

1. Make sure you make your payments on time;

2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;

3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.
