US president urges Americans to call Tom Cotton to support bill to make daylight saving time permanent

Donald Trump on Saturday put pressure on the US senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas to support a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, urging Americans to call what appeared to be the personal cellphone number of his fellow Republican and the chair of the Senate intelligence committee.

The Sunshine Protection Act passed the House in July, but it faces roadblocks in the Senate, where some Republicans are strongly opposed to it. Proponents, including the president and his administration, argue that the change would provide more daylight during the times that Americans are most active. Detractors said permanent daylight saving time would lead to darker and potentially more hazardous winter mornings when children will be waiting for school buses and parents will be driving to work in darkness.

Forty-year-old victim declared dead at the scene in East Acton in a ‘senseless act of violence’

Police were called on Friday at 7.47pm after multiple shots were heard in East Acton.

Chihuahua Comando is being trained for search-and-rescue work, and helping bring a warm connection with the public

Comando may be tiny, but Mexico’s national guard is giving him ⁠a very big role.

Outfitted with miniature goggles, a fitted tactical vest, a helmet and even a petite head-mounted camera, ⁠the 7lb (15lb) chihuahua ⁠has become ​the most unusual – and smallest – canine member of the force.

Mariann Budde gained national attention for calling on US president to consider immigrants and LGBTQ+ people

Rev Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington DC who gained national attention when she called on Donald Trump to “have mercy” on the country’s immigrants and LGBTQ+ community after his second inauguration, is resigning.

Budde shared in her resignation letter that she will be leaving her post on 3 June 2028 after the consecration and ordination of the new diocesan bishop.

Lamine Yamal says he feels like Superman or Spider-Man sometimes, and Spain’s fans are starting to wonder if he just might be. There is something comic book hero about what the teenager is doing right now, some unexplained super power swelling inside him. For the third consecutive game he scored inside six minutes, curling in another outrageous goal as Spain completed their World Cup homecoming in Oviedo with a 3-1 win over Czechia that leaves them a single point from the Nations League quarter finals already. Spain’s manager, Luis de la Fuente, put it simply: “Lamine Yamal is on course to become a legend.”

And yet in a game which seemed to have been done at half-time, when Spain led 2-0 after Rodrigo Hernandez had added the second and Lamine Yamal was withdrawn, his show seemingly over, the danger returned. Czechia, vastly improved after the break, pulled one back through Jiri Slama on 69 and then were denied a 79th-minute equaliser when Vassilis Fotias, the referee, who rescued Spain, harshly ruled out a Ryan Naderi goal – apparently for a foul on Robin Le Normand as the free-kick that led to it was swung in.

This was an occasion on which Scotland dare not stumble. By the time Kieron Bowie smashed home a seventh minute opener against a North Macedonia side not without its troubles to seek, it was already clear they would not. Bowie afforded Sébastien Pocognoli his first goal as the Scotland manager. Later, the Belgian had his maiden victory confirmed. Anything else, against such a dismal level of opposition, would have been worthy of significant Scottish embarrassment.

John McGinn’s 22nd goal for his country, coming from the penalty spot, meant the scoreline at least almost reflected Scotland’s dominance. Only Scott McKenna’s late sending off and a failure to notch three, four or five could have irked Pocognoli. Scotland remain alive and kicking in section B1 of the Nations League while aware they will face far, far stiffer challenges. Scotland needed to be professional in North Macedonia and met that task appropriately.

Allowing children in after a ban on adult fans was wrong in the extreme but on the pitch England showed genuine class

So … can we play another World Cup, then? Can we just undo and rewind? Forget whatever it was you thought you saw in Atlanta. We’re actually ready now.

Although not, repeat not, if any part of this involves playing football in front of 6,000 excitable children, the combined effect of which was to create an atmosphere in Rijeka the adult human ear is simply not designed to process.

JERUZALEM (ANP/RTR) - Israël heeft zaterdag geprobeerd de leider van Hamas in Gaza te doden met een luchtaanval op een appartement. Volgens lokale functionarissen stierven vijf mensen door de aanval. Het is onduidelijk of Hamaskopstuk Ali al-Amoudi nog leeft.

De aanval vond vlak voor zonsopgang plaats. Volgens de joodse kalender is zaterdag de herdenkingsdag van de Hamasaanslag op 7 oktober 2023.

Het Israëlische leger zei dat Al-Amoudi doelwit was van de aanval. Volgens Israël was hij betrokken bij de planning van de aanslag van 7 oktober en geldt hij vandaag de dag als "de hoogste Hamas-functionaris in de Gazastrook". Ook zou hij zich bezighouden met de "heropbouw van de organisatie met het oog op oorlog".

De aanval werd uitgevoerd nadat het leger had doorgekregen dat Al-Amoudi zich in het flatgebouw bevond. Israël onderzoekt nog of hij de aanval heeft overleefd.

The movement is admirable, but dangerous.
