Vladimir Putin has unleashed his 'angels of deaths' - newly graduated women military pilots now in the Russian air force. The pilots were seen at a weekend passing out parade in Krasnodar after they had qualified from Serov Higher Military Aviation School. The newly mobilised women are trained in using strategic nuclear bomber and transport planes.

The marketing for Star Wars 9 is due to begin at this week's Star Wars Celebration in a dedicated panel on Friday, April 12 at 9.00am-10.00am PT (12.00pm-1.00pm ET, 5.00pm-6.00pm GMT). It's here we're expected to get the title and first trailer for Episode IX, likely at the end of the hour if the approach taken with Star Wars: The Last Jedi is anything to go by. The Star Wars 9 Celebration panel, as with all major Star Wars events over the weekend, will be live-streamed on the official Star Wars YouTube channel and also on StarWars.com..
