Like a ghost from its troubled past, Drumcree has unexpectedly reappeared to remind people how far Northern Ireland has changed in 30 years but also how easily history can undermine the present, if imperfect, peace and stability.
Three decades ago parts of Northern Ireland came to an almost annual standstill as Protestant Orange Order protesters blocked roads in support of members wanting to march down what they called its traditional route, the Garvaghy Road, on the Sunday before the annual 12 July parade.

Labour MPs have a moral responsibility to accept significant changes to the welfare system to help get more young people into work, the work and pensions secretary has said.
In a sign he is looking to overhaul the welfare state, Pat McFadden said it was time for Labour to “renew” the system first created by the Clement Attlee government and given a new deal by New Labour.

The Trump administration’s ambassador to the United Nations said the US rejected Iran’s proposal to end the ongoing war there because Iranian negotiators “were asking for everything up front”.
Echoing comments by Donald Trump on Saturday, the president’s UN ambassador Mike Waltz told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that Iran had asked for relief “from billions and billions of sanctions that are going into place” as part of an economic blockade on Iran. The blockade is aimed at putting pressure on Iran to stop its attacks on vessels in the strait of Hormuz.

In surveys ranking the Premier League’s greatest moments, football supporters regularly give pride of place to Sergio Agüero’s championship-winning goal for Manchester City in 2012. Scored in injury time on the last day of the season, Agüero’s strike against Queens Park Rangers delivered the first league title for City since the 1960s. Knocking their historic rivals Manchester United into second place, it also signalled a new era in which the club replaced United as the dominant force in the English game.
“Aguerooooooo!” – the incredulous single-word response from the match commentator Martin Tyler – has entered football folklore. But an asterisk may now be needed at the end of all those Os. Reports that an independent panel has found Manchester City guilty of breaking Premier League rules between 2009 and 2023 cast a dark shadow over that day, and much else besides. During that period, the club won seven Premier League titles, six League Cups, three FA Cups and the Uefa Champions League, all while under the ownership of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family. The inescapable implication of the apparent ruling is that those trophies were won unfairly.

The vast majority of the UK’s essential foods, including cereals, potatoes, sugar and oil, are grown in areas of England rated as having a moderate to very high risk of drought.
A very high proportion – 81% – of England’s fresh produce is concentrated in parts of the country that are already experiencing water stress, according to the analysis by the nature-focused investment fund Rebalance Earth.

De omroep staat bekend als belangrijk medium voor de rebellen in Tigray, waar afgelopen week het geweld met het regeringsleger weer escaleerde.
"We hoorden een luide knal door een droneaanval en zijn toen uit het gebouw gevlucht", aldus een van de journalisten. "Direct daarna werd het gebombardeerd en werd het hele gebouw verwoest." AFP heeft foto's van het gebouw gezien waarop te zien is dat in elk geval de façade flinke schade heeft opgelopen.
De regering kondigde afgelopen week aan dat Tigrai TV permanent geschorst werd en dat het verboden werd om daar beelden van te verspreiden. Sinds vrijdag melden communicatiediensten ook al grote verstoringen in het internet- en telefoonverkeer.
Het Tigray Volksbevrijdingsfront (TPLF) nam afgelopen week een aantal lokale vliegvelden in. Daarna werden zware gevechten gemeld.
WASHINGTON (ANP/DPA) - De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft tegen nieuwssite Axios gezegd dat hij komende week nog nieuwe gesprekken met Iran verwacht. Zaterdag wees hij een Iraans voorstel voor het heropenen van de Straat van Hormuz nog af, maar Iran zei zondag nog te wachten op een officiële reactie.
Trump zei dat het een voorstel was dat de Verenigde Staten misschien een jaar geleden nog hadden aangenomen, maar Iran zou inmiddels zijn hand hebben overspeeld. Vorig jaar was de Straat van Hormuz nog open. Die werd pas afgesloten nadat de VS en Israël afgelopen februari Iran aanvielen.
Bronnen van Axios bevestigen dat er plannen zijn voor nieuwe indirecte gesprekken tussen Iran en de VS. Die zouden zelfs maandag al kunnen plaatsvinden.
Ook afgelopen week is er gesproken door delegaties van beide landen in New York, aan de zijlijn van de bijeenkomst van de Verenigde Naties. Daarna maakte Iran bekend een voorstel te hebben gedaan voor de heropening van de Straat van Hormuz.
