Tchaikovsky: The Gay Secret Behind Russia’s Greatest Composer

Sep 13, 2026 | Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky became one of the greatest composers in history — the genius behind Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty, and some of the most emotional music ever written. But behind his worldwide fame was a deeply private struggle. In 19th-century Russia, where social expectations and strict traditions shaped every aspect of life, Tchaikovsky was forced to hide a personal truth that followed him throughout his career.

Donald Trump Says Northern Ireland Joining Ireland Only Natural | BBC News

Sep 13, 2026 | US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his support for a united Ireland.

He's on day two of a visit, which he is spending at Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, County Clare, for the Irish Open.

On Saturday, Trump told reporters he would love to see a united Ireland while at a meeting with the Taoiseach (Irish PM) Micheál Martin in Dublin.

Speaking on Sunday at his Doonbeg golf resort, he said it would be natural to put Ireland and Northern Ireland "together".

He spoke to reporters after watching the tournament leader Irish golfer Shane Lowry tee off.

Irish, Scots and Welsh Leaders Meet to Plan Break-up of United Kingdom

THE TELEGRAPH: Pro-independence first ministers will sign ‘memorandum of understanding’ at Cardiff summit and demand referendums

The leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will gather on Monday to sign a deal designed to kick-start the break-up of the United Kingdom, The Telegraph can disclose.

At an unprecedented summit in Cardiff, the three first ministers will put pen to paper on a joint declaration demanding the right to hold independence referendums.

The meeting comes after Andy Burnham suggested to MPs that he would authorise another Scottish referendum if there were a “clear consensus” in favour of one.

The summit will come two days after Donald Trump declared that he would “love” to see a united Ireland. During a visit to Dublin on Saturday, he said Northern Ireland joining the Republic would be “a great thing” and asked: “How can it be bad?” » | Nick Gutteridge Chief Political Correspondent. Simon Johnson Scottish Political Editor | Sunday, September 13, 2026

Bring it on! The English have so badly managed the UK economy over decades that these three Celtic nations would be able to achieve greater prosperity as independent nations within the European Union. Northern Ireland only has to join the rest of Ireland and become united anyway. England itself could join the corrupt USA as a US state under Trump. It would be welcome with open arms. Trump will take the English to the cleaners, and he might even steal the Crown Jewels to get himself crowned king, but the English will get used to it and I’m sure they will enjoy their new life in Cowboyland. — © Mark Alexander

This Chopin Piece Has a Story You Won't Forget

Hear the haunting history of Chopin Nocturne in C sharp minor, played live on the radio during the 1939 siege of Warsaw.

This video explores the remarkable story of a pianist who performed Chopin Nocturne in C sharp minor while bombs fell on the city. When the broadcast was abruptly cut off during the 1939 bombardment, it became a symbol of resistance and cultural endurance. We examine how this piece of music connected a nation through its darkest hour.

Learn about the personal history behind the performance and the moment the pianist returned years later to play the same piece once Polish radio resumed. This account is for anyone interested in the intersection of classical piano history and wartime events. Understanding the context of this broadcast provides a new perspective on why this specific Chopin Nocturne remains so significant to Polish history today.

Trump's Routine Irish Golf Trip Turned into a Diplomatic Nightmare

Sep 12, 2026 | What was supposed to be a low-stakes golf stopover transformed into an extraordinary display of geopolitical incoherence, historical ignorance, and personal grievances.

Standing under a tent at the Deerfield Residence in Dublin, Donald Trump delivered a context-blind address that laid bare a alarming lack of foreign policy literacy and total indifference to the delicate history of Ireland, the UK, and international relations.

From reducing top-tier diplomatic missions to country club perks, to treating complex issues like Irish reunification with reckless street-slang, this speech highlights why off-the-cuff statecraft remains a severe global liability.

Christians, Tell Me Where I'm Wrong

Does God answer prayer, and how do we explain suffering? As a former pastor, I used to point to answered prayer, provision, and personal breakthroughs as evidence that God is good. But when I saw extreme suffering—human trafficking, natural disasters, children dying. I put that in a different category: “God’s mystery.”

This tension…answered prayer vs suffering, God’s goodness vs God’s hiddenness…is often called the problem of evil. I’m not attacking faith; I’m asking a real question about how we reason: if we use our judgment to call God good when life goes well, what do we do with that same reasoning when outcomes are devastating for others?

Is Europe Facing a "Muslim Takeover"? The Data Says Otherwise | The Economist

Sep 12, 2026 | Panic about Islam in Europe is spreading. In several European countries around half the population believe that Islam is incompatible with Western values. But in reality, Muslims make up only a small percentage of Europe’s people, and their attitudes largely resemble their compatriots. Why, then, are so many Europeans against Islam?

That Islamism nonsense should be put to bed. There is Islam, and that’s it! I have said this time and time again, but I shall repeat myself. An Islamist is merely a devout, fundamentalist Muslim, determined to live according to the strictest tenets of his faith. But he is not an “Islamist”; he is a devout fundamentalist! I know something about this because I was one of the very first people ever to warn of the dangers of the growth of Islam in the West! I was warning of the dangers many years before 9/11! I even wrote a book about it, The Dawning of a New Dark Age. It was popular at the time. I don’t plug it anymore, because the publishers wrongfully do not pay me for any book sales. But the message in that book is absolutely spot on and prescient. — © Mark Alexander

Comment 2: The more I listen to this nonsense, the more convinced I am that these people really don't understand the nature of Islam at all! I hasten to add thhat I am in no way Islamophobic; however, having taught these people—all adults—over very many years, I came to understand their nature and core beliefs. I can assure you that the people talking in this video are totally and utterly CLUELESS! They speak authoritatively about a religion they know next to nothing about!

Yes, there are moderate Muslims. Of course there are. There are even nominal Muslims — people born into the faith, but are in no way convinced by it. However, if one of those Muslims, male or female, starts becoming religious—and many of them do once they have sown their wild oats—what is to stop that person becoming fanatical, devout, and fundamentalist? Islam breeds fanaticism by its very nature, in a way that Christianity does not. Do these people know that a Muslim, for instance, is supposed to love the Prophet Muhammad with all his heart, and with all his soul? In fact, the true Muslim is supposed to love the Prophet more than himself, more than his parents, more than his children, and more than all of mankind! If that doesn't breed fanaticism, I don't know what does! And that's just the start! So, I therefore feel justified in stating categorically that the people talking about Islam and Muslims in this video are talking from a position of ignorance. — © Mark Alexander

How Trump Is Wielding Power to Stifle Speech

THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Trump has harnessed agencies across the government to curtail press freedoms, a sweeping campaign that free speech advocates say will have lasting effects.

The Justice Department has sent F.B.I. agents to reporters’ homes to serve subpoenas and, in at least one case, flashed a warrant to seize devices. The Pentagon has fired the editor and publisher of its traditionally independent newspaper, Stars and Stripes, and blocked access to other journalists who refused to sign pledges that would limit their reporting.

Regulatory agencies are using their powers to pressure media organizations over their content. The administration has stripped funding from public television and radio. Angry over stories he does not like, President Trump has sued major news organizations and the White House has taken control of the previously independent press pool that tracks the president, deciding which outlets can participate.

Almost 20 months into Mr. Trump’s second term, his long-running media clashes have grown into a sweeping campaign to control speech in America that stands out for applying so many levers, so fast, all at once.

Driven by personal pique, fury over leaks and a determination to shape the political narrative to his advantage, Mr. Trump is deploying the might of the federal government and filing personal lawsuits — targeting not just journalists and liberal critics, but also comedians and talk show hosts, and the corporate entities behind them. » | Jim Rutenberg and Maggie Haberman | Jim Rutenberg writes about the intersection of media and politics.

Reform UK has received a record £36m donation in a major boost to Nigel Farage’s hopes of winning the next general election.

Ben Delo, a cryptocurrency billionaire, said he had given the money to ensure “a fair fight” at the polls. It also signals his vote of confidence in Mr Farage after a difficult summer for the Reform leader.

The game-changing gift from Mr Delo, who was already the party’s second-largest donor, means Reform has raised five times as much as the Conservatives this year and more than six times as much as Labour.

Both parties have raised considerably more than Reform in the eight years since it was founded.

Writing for The Telegraph, Mr Delo says that only a massive injection of cash can enable Reform to compete with the “entrenched advantages” enjoyed by its rivals. » | Gordon Rayner | Associate editor | Friday, September 11, 2026

Norway's Princess Astrid Dies Two Days after Attending Brother King Harald's Funeral

BBC: Princess Astrid of Norway, the sister of the late King Harald V, has died at the age of 94, two days after attending his funeral, the country's royal palace has announced.

The new king, Haakon VIII, said that "throughout her long life, Princess Astrid represented the Royal House in a warm and dutiful manner".

Harald died last month, aged 89, after more than 35 years as king. His funeral was Astrid's last public engagement.

The princess will be buried at state expense and flags will be flown at half-mast across Norway, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said.

Astrid was the last surviving child of King Olav V, who reigned from 1957 to 1991. She became Norway's first lady at the age of 22 in 1954, after the death of her mother Crown Princess Märtha. Olav did not remarry and Astrid retained the title until her brother's marriage in 1968. » | Henri Astier | Friday, September 11, 2026

AfD’s New State MPs Include Ex-Stasi Officer, Former Porn Actor, Neopagans and Neo-Nazis

THE GUARDIAN: Far-right German party’s newly elected representatives face fresh scrutiny as it tries to form government in Saxony-Anhalt

The Alternative für Deutschland is facing scrutiny over the suitability of some of its prospective new MPs – including a former Stasi officer and a former pornography actor – just days after its historic win in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.

Presented by the AfD’s lead candidate, Ulrich Siegmund, for a photocall in the state capital of Magdeburg on Thursday, some of the members-elect were revealed to have a range of questionable backgrounds, including criminal records, Stasi pasts and connections to far-right networks.

German media has revealed that among the 39 parliamentarians who will represent constituencies across Saxony-Anhalt in the state parliament, is a man alleged to have participated in pornography films and falsified academic qualifications; a former officer for the East German secret police, the Stasi; and several members under criminal investigation for their involvement in neo-Nazi organisations. » | Kate Connolly in Berlin | Friday, September 11, 2026

Golden balloons were dropped, and the crowd joined the president in repeating a vow to vote for "the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can't even breathe".

JD Vance's speech was received well, and the audience chanted "48", suggesting they'd like the vice-president to become the 48th president of the United States. Is he pulling ahead of Marco Rubio as the bookies' favourite to be the Republican candidate for 2028?

Vingt-cinq ans après, le souvenir des attentats du 11 Septembre est encore brûlant aux États-Unis. Selon le Pew Research Center, près de 93 % des Américains se souviennent précisément d’où ils étaient et de ce qu’ils faisaient quand ils ont appris que deux avions s’étaient écrasés sur les tours jumelles à New York. Donald Trump, pour sa part, se souvient-il précisément de sa journée ? Le président américain a rapporté depuis 25 ans plusieurs récits de son 11 Septembre à lui. Il a encore raconté cette semaine une nouvelle anecdote. Il aurait été sauvé par des pompiers, près de « Ground Zero », sans que l’on sache si c’était le jour même des attentats ou plus tard.

« J’étais en train de construire un grand bâtiment à New York et j’ai emmené toute l’équipe sur place juste après que cela arrive », a expliqué l’ancien promoteur immobilier. Trump a dit s’être rendu à proximité d’un gratte-ciel qui menaçait de s’effondrer. « Il craquait et nous pensions qu’il allait nous tomber dessus », a-t-il dit avant de poursuivre : « Deux pompiers, des mecs grands et costauds – et je ne suis pas petit moi-même –, m’ont littéralement empoigné par le bras et m’ont dit : “Il faut partir d’ici”. Ils m’ont soulevé et ils ont commencé à courir », a-t-il assuré. » | Par Mayeul Aldebert, correspondant à Washington | vendredi 11 septembre 2026

Emma Bonino, the radical Italian politician who led campaigns to legalise abortion and divorce against the objections of the Vatican, has died aged 78.

“Today we lose not only our leader but also one of the most clear-sighted, courageous and free figures in the political history of our country,” the small party she founded, More Europe, said on Facebook on Friday.

Bonino served as a European commissioner and as foreign minister in Italy but was best known as a militant feminist dedicated to political and humanitarian causes. “Her life was a long struggle against everything that denies freedom: against clandestine abortion, world hunger, the stranglehold of party politics, female genital mutilation, punitive justice, genocide, and every form of authoritarianism,” her party said. » | Guardian staff and agencies in Rome | Friday, September 11, 2026

Sep 10, 2026 | Thousands of protesters are flooding the streets of Tirana in the biggest unrest Albania has seen since the collapse of communism.

It began as the “flamingo revolution”, sparked by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s plans for a luxury mega-resort on a public nature reserve island.

Trump Promises Illegal $5000 "Dividend" If Republicans Win Midterms in Unhinged RNC Speech.

Sep 11, 2026 | At an unprecedented Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Trump unveiled a stunning proposal: a $5,000 cash payout to every adult citizen—dubbed the "Trump dividend"—if voters keep Republicans in power in both the U.S. House and Senate. "If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," Trump announced to the crowd.

Critics point out that conditioning a massive federal payout on a specific electoral outcome raises significant legal questions under 18 U.S.C. § 597, which makes it a federal crime to offer expenditures to influence votes. Paired with ongoing national debate over aggressive redistricting and voting regulations, this proposed payout represents a bold and highly controversial bid to shape the outcome of the midterms.
