Hate is too weak a word for what I feel towards the NHS. I'd tear it down and salt the earth upon which it stood.

US Vice President JD Vance has accused Iran of terrorising the global economy by blocking maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Remember Sunday, when Trump announced the USA would block maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz? JD Vance hopes you don't.

An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US last year after rekindling a 1960s romance is being detained at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centre in the state of Louisiana.

The son of Marie-Thérèse, from the city of Nantes, sounded the alarm after his mother was arrested in Anniston, Alabama, earlier in April.

"They handcuffed her hands and feet like she was a dangerous criminal," he told French outlet Ouest-France.

The lobbying power of tech companies that profit from proprietary technology and feel threatened by open source. The same people who are behind DRM on everything from ebooks and music to printer inks, and legal restrictions on repairing the devices you own.

US Vice President JD Vance has accused Iran of terrorising the global economy by blocking maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Remember a day and a half ago when Trump announced the USA would block all maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, after Iran started letting ships through? JD Vance hopes you don't.

President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. Navy would "immediately" begin a blockade of ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, after U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement or next diplomatic steps in sight.

In his first public comments after the 21-hour talks, Trump sought to eliminate Iran's key source of leverage in the war by exerting strategic control over the waterway that was responsible for 20% of global oil shipping before fighting began.

A U.S. blockade could further rattle global energy markets. Trump told Fox News the goal was to ensure all ships could transit: "It's going to be all or none, and that's the way it is."

“The first thing we saw was the town square being blown up. I have a shop there. A person’s whole life is in that place, their work, their memories, everything. Suddenly you see it exploding in front of you,” said Ahmad Abu Taam, a 56-year-old construction supply shop owner from Taybeh. “From that moment, I felt that I had become a refugee. I feel like I have no home.”
