Trump retreat over Hormuz tolls suggests he is struggling to end Iran war
Now Trump, and the Iranians, find themselves in a familiar predicament. The latter are once again facing American military attacks across their territory, underlining their inability to defend their territorial sovereignty. With the reimposed blockade, their oil revenue – a lifeline for the Iranian regime – is again cut off.
Meanwhile, Trump is again facing a choice between escalation, which comes with domestic economic and political costs, and settling for some kind of resolution that leaves a hostile Iranian regime in power.
"We're back to where
US Congress takes next step to make daylight saving time permanent
In a May social media post, Trump said he was "going to work very hard" to see a law on time changes passed.
"It's time that people can stop worrying about the 'Clock,' not to mention all of the work and money that is spent on this ridiculous, twice yearly production. It will also be a very nice WIN for the Republican Party. Take it!" he said.
But critics of permanent DST have noted that it would lead to darker winter mornings, which
How a former 'street kid' is key to South Africa's police corruption inquiry
Matlala may now be a central figure, but he only came to public prominence three years ago when his name was mentioned in news reports around alleged tender irregularities at a state hospital - though he said he had nothing to do with the tender.
What little is known about his early life is based on what he told parliament last year.
He was born in 1976, when South Africa was still run by a white-minority government, and grew up in a township east of the capital, Pretoria.
From Wimbledon towels to Scotch: What India-UK trade deal could mean for shoppers
The pact could also be a tipping point for British alcohol and spirits companies.
The reduction of customs duties on Scotch whisky from 150% to 75% immediately and then gradually to 40% over 10 years is a "real shift, not a small tweak", says Avneet Singh of Modern Drinks Pvt Ltd, an import house based in the capital Delhi.
How much this boosts imports will become clearer in the coming months, says Singh, though he sees momentum building ahead of the new terms
Watch: The clash between US and Iran for control of the Strait of Hormuz
The US and Iran have been exchanging waves of strikes, as a dispute over control of the Strait of Hormuz threatens to derail efforts to end their war.
BBC correspondent Barbara Plett Usher, reporting from Jerusalem, examines the latest tensions over the key international shipping channel.
Over the weekend, Iran announced that the strait was closed, while the US insisted it was not controlled by Iran and that traffic was flowing.
The escalation has cast doubt over the preliminary agreement that the US and Iran signed in June to end their four
Wife describes moment husband nearly sucked out of Ryanair plane
The wife of a man who was nearly sucked head-first out of a cabin window in mid-air on a Ryanair plane has described her fright at the incident.
"He was out for maybe two or three minutes," she said, before adding "the lady sitting next to him and I tried to pull him back inside".
Tracking data shows the plane was in the air for about 10 minutes when it abruptly descended 9,000ft (2,700m),
Strait of Hormuz 'faultline' exposes weakness of the US-Iran deal
Last night, far from the thunder of this escalation, its parliament quietly introduced a new bill to manage the strait called the Strategic Action for the Security and Sustainable Progress of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf.
That news was posted on X by Ebrahim Azizi, head of the assembly's national security commission, who told us in April that controlling the waterway was Iran's "inalienable right".
When asked when Iran would cede control, his reply was short and sharp – "never."
He
Trump pays writer E Jean Carroll $5m in damages over sexual abuse and defamation
US President Donald Trump has paid writer E Jean Carroll more than $5m (£3.7m) in damages three years after he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming her in a civil case, her lawyers confirmed.
"Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict," Roberta Kaplan, a lawyer for Carroll, said in a short statement on Tuesday.
Trump was pushing to delay the payment, in order to
Trump scraps threat of 20% fee on Hormuz cargo as US prepares to resume blockade of Iran ports
Tehran said it had targeted US military facilities in Bahrain and Jordan after earlier hitting two United Arab Emirates tankers.
The ongoing strikes have underscored the strategic importance of the Strait. Iran accuses the US of interfering in its management of Hormuz – but controlling it means Tehran can also threaten the global economy.
Trump on Monday declared that the US was now the "guardian" of the Strait of Hormuz, and vowed to impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the waterway to pay for protecting it.
