From Bowl — We’d Rather Bowl, by Bachchoo In this week of celebrations over King Charles III’s coronation, ignoring the sceptres of the anointed isle, I choose to dwell upon examples of…

      Erdogan faces defeat after 20 years dismantling Turkey’s democracy – but don’t expect him to go quietly

      Beware writing off an authoritarian leader as wily and ruthless as Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who as kingmaker, premier and finally president, has dominated and gradually defiled Turkish democracy over two decades. But by putting aside their differences and uniting behind one man, Turkey’s opposition parties are on the verge of finally removing Erdogan from power; something that promises to reverse a period of horrific rights abuses – and enable Turkey, a country with a unique role as a nexus between East and West, to reset its ties with Europe and the US. The latest polls suggest that the broad, six-party coalition, headed by the bespectacled, mild-mannered 74-year-old Kemal Kilicdaroglu – dubbed Turkey’s Gandhi – is tantalisingly close to obtaining a majority of the…

      Israel uses ‘David’s Sling’ defence system to shoot down rockets from Gaza for first time

      Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired rockets at Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank on Thursday, as Israel relied on its new “David’s Sling” air defence system to intercept fire. As the fighting between Islamic Jihad in Gaza and Israel entered its fourth day, Gaza militants launched a barrage of rockets towards the holy city, triggering air raid sirens on the outskirts. Some missiles also triggered air raid alerts in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, where footage showed people taking cover on roads. Two rockets launched at Jerusalem were intercepted by Israel’s medium-range David’s Sling which had also successfully intercepted a rocket for the first time the previous day. Though introduced in Israel in 2017, the system has…

      Rishi Sunak ridiculed by senior Tory for ‘serving tea to Jill Biden’ as economic pledges fail

      Rishi Sunak is under pressure from inside the Conservative Party over his ability to deliver his five pledges after his Chancellor admitted the target to halve inflation might not be met. Nervousness over the UK’s economic outlook was heightened when the latest GDP figures published on Friday showed weak growth for the first three months of 2023, held back by strikes and the cost of living crisis. Senior Tories urged the Prime Minister to get a grip on his government’s key agenda rather than “serving tea to Jill Biden” – in reference to Mr Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty hosting the US first lady at Downing Street over the coronation weekend. Conservative insiders are also concerned that Jeremy Hunt is taking a too-cautious approach to the economy and does not…

      Judge who presided over Parkland school shooting trial steps down

      The Florida judge who presided over the Parkland mass shooting trial has announced that she will be resigning from the bench next month. Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer became a national figure when she oversaw the murder trial of Nikolas Cruz last year. Cruz received a life sentence after a jury was unable to unanimously agree on giving him the death sentence for the 2018 murder of 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. After she sentenced Cruz, 24, to life without parole she notably left the bench to hug members of the prosecution and victims’ families. That action resulted in the Florida Supreme Court removing her from overseeing post-conviction motions in the case of Randy Tundidor. He is facing the death penalty for…
