'My Wife Is...': Trump's Melania Patchup Bid? Natalie STARES In Silence At POTUS' SHOCK Message

Is Donald Trump trying to send a message to Melania amid the controversy surrounding Natalie Harp?

TRUMP NOT WELCOME: Thousands Flood Dublin Streets In MASSIVE Protest Against 'War Criminal' POTUS

Thousands of demonstrators marched through Dublin to protest Donald Trumps visit to Ireland, carrying anti-Trump placards, waving Palestinian flags and condemning the American presidents foreign and domestic policies. The backlash intensified after Trump publicly endorsed the prospect of Northern Ireland leaving the United Kingdom and uniting with the Republic of Ireland. Protesters accused him of interfering in an exceptionally sensitive political issue and potentially undermining decades of diplomacy. The demonstration also targeted Trumps policies concerning Gaza, Iran and immigration, as well as Irelands decision to welcome him while his visit included a major golf event at his privately owned Doonbeg resort. Trump had already left Dublin by the time protesters moved through the capital. But the contrast defined his visit: official hospitality and handshakes insideanger, balloons and chants of Trump not welcome outside.

Donald Trumps Ireland visit took a dramatic turn after the U.S. president made a striking comment about Irish reunification. During talks with Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin, Trump said that a united Ireland would be fantastic, stepping into one of the most politically sensitive issues in Irelands history. His remark came as protesters gathered across Dublin to demonstrate against Trump and his policies. Left-wing opposition groups, anti-military activists, pro-Palestinian organizations, environmentalists and others took part in the demonstrations, turning the presidential visit into a major protest spectacle. Trumps comments are particularly significant given the decades of violence surrounding Northern Ireland.

Iraq approves Iran's request for joint probe into border drone launch sites

Digital Desk | Baghdad, Sep 12 (IANS) Ali al-Zaidi, Iraqi Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, approved Iran's request to conduct a joint investigation to find drone launch platforms near the Iraq-Iran border, Sabah al-Numan, Spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi forces, said on Saturday. The decision came as Iraqi authorities intensified security measures following confirmation that recent drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia were launched from a site within Iraq's southern province of Maysan. Earlier on Saturday, al-Zaidi dismissed the Maysan Operations Commander and Maysan Police Commander, and ordered the formation of a special investigative council to probe the issue, according to separate statements by al-Numan. Meanwhile, Iraqi security forces have also initiated administrative and security reorganisation operations at several border crossings that necessitate their closure to investigate security breaches, Xinhua news agency reported. Necessary legal measures have been taken, and intelligence, investigative and audit efforts have been intensified to determine the circumstances surrounding the breaches and violations that occurred at these crossings and to devise appropriate solutions and remedies, the Security Media Cell affiliated with the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, said in a statement. It added that the Zurbatiyah and al-Munthiriya border crossings with Iran, located in Iraq's Wasit and Diyala provinces respectively, remain open to passenger traffic. An Iraqi security source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that security authorities have begun inspection and screening procedures, tightened security measures to prevent violations at the closed border crossings, and expect the measures to conclude quickly. The closures came after Iraq's Prime Minister dismissed the Maysan Operations Commander on Saturday after authorities confirmed attacks targeting Saudi Arabia had been launched from a site in Maysan province in southern Iraq. The Saudi Foreign Ministry said Friday that its East-West Pipeline was attacked by several drones launched from Iraq, causing injuries and damage. The Ministry noted that at the request of the Iraqi Prime Minister, Saudi Arabia had refrained from responding at this stage.

England Back On Track After 'Chaos', Says Joe Root

Joe Root says England are back on track after descending into chaos in recent months as he celebrated a 3-0 series whitewash over Pakistan on Saturday. Root, who previously served as skipper for five years before standing down in 2022, returned to the role following the dramatic international retirement of Ben Stokes in June. Stokes announced his shock departure during the Trent Bridge decider against New Zealand, having been stood down from the previous match following a disciplinary probe into a nightclub trip with teammate Gus Atkinson. England lost the series 2-1 and head coach Brendon McCullum was subsequently stripped of his red-ball responsibilities. But Root's return, in concert with interim head coach Marcus Trescothick, has brought a hat-trick of comfortable wins over Pakistan at Headingley, Lord's and now Edgbaston, steadying the ship ahead of Stephen Fleming's arrival as McCullum's long-term successor. The New Zealander is expected to arrive in the coming days and Root believes he will find a team on an even keel. There's been a lot of chaos around this series before a ball was bowled, the skipper said after hitting an unbeaten 62 in Saturday's eight-wicket win at Edgbaston. I think the way we've handled it on and off the field, the way everyone understands what is expected of them, both as a player and how we want to carry ourselves, is a really good thing. It's been a very unusual summer, hasn't it? There's been a lot of different things happen. We had a resignation mid-series, there has been a few off-field incidents and we've got a new coach. Whether you call it chaos, whether you call it unusual, whether you call it unsettling, all of those are fair. But ultimately, the thing that I care about and the most important thing is what happens from that. I think the way that we've responded to that has been excellent. England have been accused of a lack of professionalism following several high-profile off-field incidents both overseas and at home. The build-up to the second Test against Pakistan was overshadowed by an incident involving bowler Brydon Carse outside a nightclub. He was removed from the squad and has not been picked since. Root said it would take time to change the team environment. When you're trying to build a culture it doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't happen over the course of three or four weeks, said the Yorkshireman. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories It's going to take time to keep working at that, living it day in and day out, and that's something we'll continue to keep working at. We've made some really good strides in the right direction.
