      At least 32 Palestinians killed in Gaza as IDF fires on crowds seeking food

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 days ago - 14:28

    Witnesses say scenes near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid hubs in the south of the territory resembled a massacre

    At least 32 people were killed and more than 100 injured on Saturday morning when Israeli troops opened fire on crowds of Palestinians seeking food from two aid distribution hubs in southern Gaza, according to witnesses and hospital officials.

    People on the scene described it as “a massacre”, and claimed Israel Defense Forces fired “indiscriminately” at the groups of Palestinians – reported to be mostly young men – who were making their way towards the hubs run by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

      Tom Curry and Tadhg Beirne double act brings big-game thunder to Lions’ surge | Gerard Meagher

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 days ago - 14:26

    Tadhg Beirne gave an all-action display which saw him finish as the top tackler, while Tom Curry set the tone with a bone-crunching early tackle

    Twelve years in the making and it took all of 12 seconds for the most obvious clue as to which way this first Test was going to pan out. From the moment Tom Curry thundered into James Slipper – the only surviving Wallaby from the 2013 tour – with a bone-crunching tackle you worried for Australia.

    Strip it all back – the hand wringing over the breakdown, the danger posed by Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, the Lions’ propensity to start slowly – and this remains a simple game. If you win the collisions, then the vast majority of the time you will win the match . So it was that Andy Farrell picked the most powerful pack he could and no one typified that more than Curry.

    • Centre-back came off bench in quarter-final win

    • Morgan: ‘I always had faith’ despite Sweden’s lead

    Esme Morgan says her faith in the Lionesses’ unwavering belief that they would overturn a two-goal deficit in their dramatic last-eight triumph over Sweden was built on the quality of England’s substitutes’ bench.

    The Lionesses defender, who came on as one of three changes in the 70th minute, insists that at no point did she think the holders would be knocked out of the tournament despite being 2-0 down.

      Cancelling Colbert, bribery, an $8bn deal: what’s going on at Paramount?

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 days ago - 13:11

    The fallout from the Trump payoff comes as a merger threatens the company’s integrity and A-list talent, such as Stephen Colbert, have already been sacrificed

    For a decade the comedian Stephen Colbert has mocked, ridiculed and eviscerated Donald Trump from every conceivable angle. On Thursday Colbert told his audience at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York that his popular late night TV show is being cancelled. “Yeah, I share your feelings,” he said in response to a chorus of boos.

    The CBS network insisted that it had made “a purely financial decision” to wind up The Late Show next year. But others are not so sure. Adam Schiff, a Democratic senator who was a guest on Thursday’s show, tweeted : “If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”

      Exposure to a mix of pesticides raises risk of pregnancy complications, study suggests

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 days ago - 13:00

    Research looks at health impacts of being exposed to multiple pesticides versus just one substance

    Exposure to multiple pesticides increases the chances of pregnancy complications compared to exposure to just one pesticide, new peer-reviewed research suggests. The findings raise new questions about the safety of exposure to widely used pesticides and herbicides in food and agricultural communities.

    The study, which bio-monitored pregnant women in a heavily agricultural state in Argentina, adds to recent-but-limited evidence pointing to heightened dangers in mixtures of pesticides.

      ‘The place is empty, a lot have left’: Ballymena weighs up impact of anti-migrant riots

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 days ago - 13:00

    Plenty feel shame at last month’s unrest, but mobs who targeted Roma families feel they got what they wanted

    Since Ballymena erupted in three nights of anti-migrant riots last month , tranquility has returned to the County Antrim town. The rioters, after all, got what they wanted. They won.

    Dozens of Roma families that fled have not returned and those that remain keep a low profile – they do not linger on the streets and are scarcely visible.
