Doctors’ leader claims new reduced pay offer killed chances of ending strikes in England

Deal for resident doctors was in sight when sudden change by ministers forced latest action, says Jack Fletcher

Ministers killed the chance to end strikes by resident doctors when they suddenly reduced the amount of money they were offering to secure the peace deal, the doctors’ leader claims.

Dr Jack Fletcher accused the government of “playing games” and forcing resident doctors to embark on their 15th strike over pay and jobs, which is disrupting the NHS this week.

Netanyahu-ism has achieved nothing for Israelis – and come at a monstrously high price | Jonathan Freedland

It is the voting public in Israel that will settle their PM’s fate later this year. But all they have heard are promises of ‘total victory’ that prove to be hollow

It is a record of abject failure. I am not speaking of Donald Trump, though I could be. Instead, I am talking about his partner in this terrible war.

Naturally, Trump has been the star of the show. He has been the face of the 40-day war on Iran, whether dialling up the threats against the country in foul, bloodthirsty language – “a whole civilisation will die tonight” – or announcing on his own social media platform a two-week ceasefire and the talks that are supposed to begin this weekend in Islamabad. But Trump has had an ally at his side, who only now is entering the spotlight. That ally is Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump’s war, Melania and Epstein, with US editor Betsy Reed – The Latest

Melania Trump made a surprise appearance at the White House on Thursday to announce that she ‘never had a relationship’ with the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Her address has seemingly put Epstein back on the political agenda when focus had been firmly on the US and Israel’s war in Iran. The intervention came at a difficult time for her husband, Donald Trump, as the fragile ceasefire agreed between the US and Iran seemed to be at risk of falling apart, and as US lawmakers are raising the alarm over the president’s mental stability. Lucy Hough speaks to the Guardian US editor, Betsy Reed

Echte prijs Iran-oorlog bekend: RITJE IN DE BOTSAUTO WORDT ONBETAALBAAR

Tot nu toe kon het ons allemaal redelijk aan onze respectievelijke reet roesten met Trump, de naar de hel geknalde olieraffinaderijen en de Straat van Hormuz. Nu heeft RTV Noord echter een redacteur naar de kermis in Meerstad gestuurd en die ontdekte iets waar we van schrikken. De BOTSAUTO'S zijn in GEVAAR. Kermisondernemers trekken van stad naar stad en zijn voor de stroomvoorziening vaak afhankelijk van agreggaten dus DAT LOOPT IN DE CENTEN. Zoals kermisondernemer Martin Hulzebos zegt: 'Dan bestaat het risico dat een ritje in de botsauto te duur wordt voor sommigen.' Onze favoriete plek om met tokkies te knokken VERDWIJNT. De zweefmolen wordt voor de HAPPY FEW. Het eendjes vissen wordt VOOR DE ELITE. Stop de oorlog NU. Trump, willig alle eisen van Iran ONMIDDELLIJK in. Stop de genocide. Red de botsauto's.
