Trump blasts Nato allies as ‘cowards’ as European powers refuse to commit forces to Middle East
"We can see through the operations that the Israeli government has been focused on disabling the Iranian leadership. The president has stated that his objectives are to destroy Iran's ballistic missiles launching capability, their ballistic missile production capability, and their navy," she said. The Republican president's administration has given conflicting messages about the state of Iran's nuclear program. Joe Kent, who headed the National Counterterrorism Center, on Tuesday became the first senior official in Trump's administration to resign over the Iran War, saying Iran posed no imminent threat to the US. Gabbard said in both hearings that it was solely up to Trump to determine whether the United States faces an imminent threat.

10 minutes with Thomas Moloney of Foróige
Thomas Moloney is an area manager with Foróige in Cork, overseeing youth services across the city and county. That experience was the beginning of my youth work journey and it set me on the path I’m still on today. The project has received significant support from Cork City Council, Cork ETB and the Department of Justice. Foróige is also working closely with Cork City Council on several advocacy projects including the Cork Docklands development. For me, the most rewarding part of the job is seeing the real difference that youth work can make on the ground.

What’s in a place name? Lots of human fingerprints as it happens
They are the legacy of misheard words, mistranslations and, occasionally, a colonial official deciding that a place would look better named after someone he knew. Misheard NamesSome of the most enduring place names began as simple misunderstandings. Fiji is a good example. Rather than sweeping renaming, many Irish place names were anglicised and reshaped into something English speakers could pronounce, spell or make sense of. What Maps Really Tell UsWhat all of these examples reveal is that place names are not fixed truths.
