What do we know about the US-Iran peace deal – and what questions remain?

Access to the strait of Hormuz and the future of Iran’s nuclear program are among the issues that remain unclear amid a lack of detail on the agreement

Donald Trump and officials in Tehran have hailed an immediate end to the war on Iran, with the US president claiming that “oil will flow on both ends again for the region, and the world”.

However, in the hours that followed the announcements, exactly what had been agreed remained unclear, with the final text of their memorandum of understanding unpublished and details scant about key issues including access to the strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear program and Lebanon.

  • Midfielder expects Madrid man to have major impact

  • Henderson: ‘He’s a huge player for us in this tournament’

UFC Freedom 250: White House hosts MMA card for Trump’s 80th birthday – live updates

Donald Trump and UFC president Dana White have now made their entrance, emerging from the White House to a Color Guard from the “military district of Washington” in a scene that feels equal parts campaign rally, state ceremony and fight night. As the Zac Brown Band reaches the closing bars of the Star-Spangled Banner, a rare Super Delta formation flyover by the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds roars overhead, providing a display of American military might to match the scale of the occasion.

The four-man studio desk for the broadcast consists of former UFC champions Dominick Cruz, Chris Weidman and Michael Bisping alongside veteran play-by-play broadcaster Brendan Fitzgerald. Judging by the opening segment, they are also serving as tonight’s department of patriotism, a role embraced enthusiastically by all involved, including Bisping despite the minor complication of being English.

Boegbeeld van 'Dwaze Moeders' in Argentinië overleden

BUENOS AIRES (ANP) - Het gezicht en de voorzitter van de Argentijnse actiegroep Moeders van het Plaza de Mayo, Taty Almeida, is zondag overleden. Dat heeft de organisatie zelf bekendgemaakt.

De 95-jarige Almeida werd drie weken geleden opgenomen in een ziekenhuis in Buenos Aires. Taty Almeida, geboren als Lidia Stella Mercedes Miy Uranga op 28 juni 1930, was lerares. Met haar man Jorge Almeida kreeg zij drie kinderen.

Ze raakte betrokken bij het activisme na de verdwijning in 1975 van haar zoon Alejandro, destijds een 20-jarige geneeskundestudent. Hij was een linkse activist en lid van de guerrillagroep Revolutionair Volksleger (ERP). Taty Almeida heeft zijn stoffelijke resten nooit teruggevonden.

Al sinds 30 april 1977 vragen de Moeders van het Plaza de Mayo (voorheen bekend als de 'Dwaze Moeders') wekelijks op donderdag aandacht voor de verdwijningen en arrestaties van hun kinderen door militairen en/of inlichtingendiensten tijdens de laatste Argentijnse militaire dictatuur (1976-1983). Naar schatting verdwenen 30.000 mensen.

De groep moeders kreeg wereldwijd bekendheid dankzij opnames van de Nederlandse tv tijdens het WK voetbal in Argentinië in 1978.


Rusland meldt doden en gewonden door Oekraïense droneaanval

MOSKOU (ANP) - Bij een Oekraïense droneaanval op de Russische stad Toela zijn drie mensen omgekomen en zijn drie gewonden gevallen. Dat meldt de regionale gouverneur, Dmitri Milyayev, in een Telegram-bericht.

Onder de gewonden is ook een kind van 1 jaar. Toela ligt op zo'n 200 kilometer ten zuiden van Moskou.

De regio Toela, waar zich een aantal grote industriële complexen bevindt, is sinds de Russische inval in Oekraïne een frequent doelwit van Oekraïense aanvallen.

Volgens de burgemeester van Moskou, Sergej Sobjanin, hebben Russische luchtverdedigingseenheden ook zeker vier drones onderschept die onderweg waren naar de Russische hoofdstad.

Bij Russische aanvallen op Oekraïne in de nacht van zondag op maandag vielen zeker vijf doden en meer dan twintig gewonden, waaronder in de hoofdstad Kyiv.

I can't stand women from the 80s...

You women and your "precious" height preferences, or should I say height requirements. I'm going to blame this on your parents. Your parents met in the 80's or 70's, an era where women were of unparalleled beauty, and young men from those decades always dreamed of drowning in them. Your mother obviously stood out in her high school and college, chewing gum or with a lollipop, and got all the attention for her looks. Only for her to be cruel to guys shorter than her or her height, and ended up with a tall, muscular, long-legged, big-haired jock who was a bully during his youth. And then they both raised their daughters to view the tall as the attractive and handsome ones, and tell them that they're the ones "all" girls dream of. And then wished for them to end up with a 6 foot tall Prince Charming who could protect her, because apparently short men can't protect because they're "weak"... Your parents never should've met And fuck the 80s. It had too many tall men, the decade was too masculine, and women and schoolgirls back then with their "cutesy" hair and smiles wore shirts that exposed their shoulders and the laces of their bras and short shorts just to attract their ideal guys (who were "tall"). Women back then who showed off their bodies and acted kinky were only thinking of tall men. Every man that appeared in commercials and p*rn back then looked like clones of Robert Hays... And Ronald Reagan was clearly seen as attractive to women back then... Sigourney Weaver, who's 6 feet tall, was ONLY seen with men EVEN TALLER than her back then... Of course tall women have ALWAYS not wanted to date shorter men since it makes them feel like their mother...​ The male taller norm was at it's ABSOLUTE WORST back then, taller girl shorter guy couples were nonexistent back then, and women back then apparently were more likely to view tallness as attractive than today's... There existed dating shows back then, and of course the women mentioned "Tall" when describing men, apparently "short" has NEVER been seen as attractive in men! The women being with guys to wear heels with insecurity of course existed back then, and of course, it was associated with taller men... Women back then ALWAYS mentioned Tall when describing men back then. And men being tall helped with first impressions with women... Fuck those first impressions over uncontrollable traits! Just look at the Gillis and Avis study from 1980, it was all about the male taller norm in mate selection, and they found only 1 couple where the woman was taller than the man out of 700 different couples! Women were ALWAYS attracted to men being taller then themselves! And they NEVER found men being shorter than them as attractive! Apparently short men have been disadvantaged getting dates for the entire 20th century...! ALL BECAUSE OF WOMEN! This one chicken mcnugget commercial from 1985 showed a woman recieving a fortune from a fortune cookie telling her that she'd meet a "Tall handsome man"... And the song Micro Monster contains a line "He's nasty and he's so tall~!"... High schools back then were hierarchies ruled by tall jocks (who ALWAYS had girls), and short guys back then struggled and were called losers! Teenage girls have just ALWAYS been spoiled boy-obsessed bimbos who'd do nothing but lay on their beds and talk to their friends on the phone about their crushes, and they ALWAYS mentioned "tall"... This was also the golden age of cheerleading, and of course, cheerleaders have ALWAYS been associated with tall preferences, and jocks were all they dated... And let's not forget valley girls... They were ALWAYS into tall men... I fucking hate Valley Girls! They were the most cruel girls in history when it came to underdog boys! In high schools during the 80s, they were nothing like in movies, ONLY jocks and cheerleaders were treated with respect and got dates... Look at high school footages from the time! They contained very tall guys walking with girls a whole head shorter than them, and would crane their neck down to kiss them, and they were also clearly overprotective of their girlfriends and would attack any shorter guy who'd dare to just say hello to their girls, and it was apparently justified all over the reason and who did it... These are also the types of guys that took their girls to Lover's Lane and to drive-in movies... Taller guy shorter girl couples were more common back then than today... After all, relationships back then were still traditional... Women with big hair just COULDN'T be seen without a man taller than her...! I'll tell you Gen X women right now that men don't have to be taller than women! I know for a fact that you Gen X women dated jocks during your high school years... Why?! Tell me why! And if you're going to deny all of this to me... Then you better give me proof that corrects me
