The parallels are blindingly and painfully obvious. A surprise attack against an Israel caught largely unaware; an invading military force; the timing, a holy day in early October; the victims, an unsuspecting population forced to scramble for underground bomb shelters and mobilize for war; the mistakes by an intelligence apparatus that is the envy of the world.
But the surprise attack that took place in Israel this past weekend is arguably worse than the one that launched the Yom
Whoopi Goldberg has made no secret of the fact that she’s ‘much happier’ being single and has no desire to live with someone ever again, but The View host is certainly no stranger to romance.
The 67-year-old TV host has not only walked down the aisle a total of three times, she’s enjoyed some high-profile relationships with fellow actors Timothy Dalton and Ted Danson, and even had a live-in boyfriend up until 2000.
In recent years though, Whoopi has made
The German far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has called the EU a “failed project” and called for it to be re-established as a ‘Confederation of European Nations’, the party said in its EU election programme that was adopted on Sunday (6 August).
“We think the EU cannot be reformed and see it as a failed project,” the party programme reads.
“Therefore, we are striving for a ‘federation of European nations’, a European economic community and community of interests yet to
A retired bookkeeper has won her case against the government over its pensions failure.
Daphne Bennett, began claiming her state pension in 2003 but gaps in her contributions meant she received just £38.66 a week.
When husband Tim retired in 2008, she was eligible for a 60 percent married woman’s pension.
Payments were dependent on a new state pension claim form being filled out.
But Mr Bennett was told on the phone that no forms needed to be signed and
Tottenham have reportedly shortlisted former Arsenal target Jonathan David in their search for a potential Harry Kane replacement. Despite chairman Daniel Levy rejecting Bayern Munich’s latest offer for Kane, Spurs are reportedly scouring the market for possible alternatives.
Bayern are prepared to pay a club-record fee for Kane but reportedly remain £25million from Levy’s sky-high asking price. The Bundesliga champions attempted to thrash out a deal with Levy over lunch on Monday.
However, those talks failed to reach the conclusion
LONDON — An Australian billionaire says he may step back from investing in U.K. green technologies after the government announced new backing for carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
Andrew Forrest, an international investor and climate philanthropist, said U.K. government plans to put billions of pounds into CCS meant “putting Britain’s hopes [on] failed technology.”
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed on Monday that the government would be investing in CCS projects in Northeast Scotland and the Humber.

When Ceri Griffiths was offered IVF add-ons, the 37-year-old accepted, hoping it would massively boost her odds of having a baby.
But, instead of the family she so desperately craved, the restaurant owner was left with nothing but heartache.
Now Ceri, who suffered three miscarriages through her exhausting 10-year fertility struggles, fears she has ‘wasted’ her first round of collected eggs.
Although Ceri’s four add-ons — none of which are proven to work — were paid for entirely by the
Every now and then my phone sees fit to create a ‘memory’ from one of my stored photos and notifies me of it. Mostly I just ignore them, but the one I received a couple of weeks ago stopped me in my tracks and made me go misty-eyed.
Was it a snap from a particularly memorable holiday? A beautiful sunset? Or a happy family Christmas? None of the above. It was a photo of me standing in a drab ladies
When we write history, it tends to be tidy and led by great men. In real time, it’s messy but still astonishing. Last weekend, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who leads a private army called the Wagner Group, attempted what many have called a coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Technically, it failed. He landed in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, pledged to march to Moscow, and then turned around. Nothing about this series of events suggests expert planning or high competence. Prigozhin
In 1954, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new medication called Thorazine, which could be used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. For the first time, it was possible to provide meaningful care for the mentally ill on an outpatient basis. In the fifties, sixties, and seventies, hundreds of thousands of patients across the country were released from derelict state-run asylums. (A key provision of the Medicare and Medicaid Act, passed in 1965, was that the federal government would
