On Holy Island, a field called "The Palace" hides a story no one expected. Time Team digs into Lindisfarne's past to learn whether this plot belonged to monks, soldiers, or something stranger. Armed with a 1548 plan, geophysics and local archives, the team chases clues from a chamfered plinth and cobbled yards to twin circular structures that point to a very different "palace." A debated cannonball, boundary stones that redraw the Priory line, and an eerie butchered horse burial twist the plot. Then a Neolithic cup-marked stone surfaces from a medieval pit, and a Charles I coin keeps the dates...

Gadi Eisenkot formally received the mandate on Sunday to form the next Israeli governing coalition, and vowed to pursue “creative and unconventional” pathways to assembling what he termed a “national emergency government.” Eisenkot’s nomination was expected, after 67 of the incoming Knesset’s 120 members asked President Isaac Herzog to give him the opportunity. Now, after a ceremony Sunday at the President’s Residence, the leader of the centrist Yashar party will have up to six weeks to form a government that, he has pledged, will unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and usher in a new era for the country. “Israel is...

The cruise ship departed from San Pedro on Friday and was headed to Ensenada when the crew member went overboard.

HOMESTEAD AIR RESERVE BASE, Fla. (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that President Donald Trump launched the war against Iran even if it was not “necessarily popular” to safeguard the world from the country’s nuclear ambitions.He would not comment directly about the Republican wipeout in Tuesday’s elections, which delivered a resounding rebuke to Trump. The unpopularity of the Iran war and its impact on gasoline prices and other parts of the economy helped Democrats seize control of Congress.Asked about Vice President JD Vance’s social media post last week that largely blamed the war for the Republican losses,...

President Donald Trump questioned the results of the midterm elections in a jaw-dropping social media post, less than a week after he, his preferred candidates, and GOP control of Congress were smacked down in a brutal rout. Taking to Truth Social on Monday morning, the president said: “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting “dumps” were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.” He added: “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!” The...

Two Spokane County sheriff's deputies were killed in what began as a domestic violence call and turned into a deadly rescue attempt. Authorities say deputies Mason Acheson and Parker Perry were shot Tuesday as they tried to enter a home near Spangle, Washington, after a woman reported she'd been shot and that others might still be inside, per Fox News. SWAT teams later sent in a drone and found the suspected gunman, 37-year-old Ryan Larsen, dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, along with the bodies of his mother and sister, 72-year-old Suzanne Larsen and 45-year-old Rebecca Larsen.Acheson died shortly after...

What are these ills that are laid at the door of capitalism? Just a short list includes: business monopolies that jack up prices and prey on captive consumers; laws favoring vested industry interests passed through lobbying, often in backroom insider deals; barriers to entry to squelch small competitors; fatcat executives without accountability to shareholders and multi-million-dollar payouts; systemic crises created by financial or corporate scandals; and the list goes on… But none of these ills is an attribute of capitalism – in fact, in a truly capitalistic system every one of these ills would disappear. These ills are the outcome...

A ProPublica investigation is casting a suspicious eye on a lucrative government contract awarded to a small company to monitor Ebola in Africa. The $40 million contract to XpresTest stands out for two reasons, according to the story: The company has zero experience working in Africa, and President Trump's two eldest sons invested in the firm just months before the contract was awarded. XpresTest, a biosecurity subsidiary of airport spa operator XWELL, has experience monitoring COVID-19 at airports but no track record working with Ebola or in Africa. Even the company's CEO is leery of the work in the Democratic...

Hakeem Jeffries is learning the hard way that the Democratic Socialists of America are not interested in a big tent. They don't even want him IN their tent. Womp womp womp. After DSA-aligned candidates swept several New York primaries earlier this year, their victory celebration included a pointed message aimed squarely at the House Democrat leader. When Jeffries’ face appeared on screen, the crowd broke into chants of “You’re next!” In a new CNN interview, Jeffries addressed the moment. He observed that the group doing the chanting appeared strikingly homogeneous, a detail others in the room had also noticed. This...

A now-viral video appears to show several white University of Mississippi coeds making racist sounds outside an apartment shared by three black students, sparking online fury and a school probe. The ring-doorbell-camera footage shared on TikTok by Ole Miss student Jakiyra Metcalf captured the female offenders walking past her apartment and pausing to make monkey noises Friday, the woman said.

A third...

It’s strange how small gestures can sometimes echo events taking place on much larger stages. It may well be the same impulse acting simultaneously at the human level and on the global. Last week an elderly man slapped a young man scarcely out of boyhood across the face in public for no rational reason. It did not occur during an argument; no such argument took place. Rather, the old man was responding to reasoned statements with an unhinged tirade totally at odds with the circumstances. On election day in Laconia, New Hampshire, 70-year-old Steven Redic confronted Rainer Vesey, an...

However, Huang has remained an influential figure in the president’s orbit influencing US AI policy. “He’s done an amazing job for our country,” the president told reporters Sunday night, calling the billionaire tech boss an “honorable guy” and a “fine person.” ”I haven’t heard that he’s done anything...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration will be forced to hand ICE the names and birthdays of certain residents of a city-run Bronx homeless shelter, according to a bombshell federal ruling. US District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled Friday that the city must comply with a subpoena from federal immigration officials to provide identifying information for some male residents at the Bruckner shelter in Mott Haven. “The City has not shown that producing this list would be unduly burdensome,” Kaplan wrote in the ruling after months of back and forth between the city and the feds. ICE claims the residents’ names, birthdays, and...
