In the two years since 7 October, 2023, the most chilling, most unsettling video I came across was not directly related to the horrors in Gaza; of starving children or severed limbs. It was a Guardian video report by Matthew Cassel shot in Tel Aviv in the summer and published last month.

Here’s a question about the shutdown submitted by an Associated Press reader, Eli B.:What happens if essential federal workers don’t show up for work?Here is where we need to get to know the Antideficiency Act, the federal law that lays out which government duties must continue even if Congress hasn’t appropriated funding for them. It’s also the whole reason that agencies have “essential” and “nonessential” workers at all. Since the act mandates what work must go on, the people tasked with doing that work are obligated to show up.If they don’t, they could be disciplined, suspended or terminated. They could…

In the early hours of Thursday, Jordanians took to the streets to celebrate the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza. Young people danced, waving the Palestinian flag, while some public schools broadcast the news over loudspeakers, amplifying the students’ jubilation. “For the first time in two years, I wake up to news that warms the heart: a ceasefire and an agreement ending the war,” Mohammed al-Absi, a Jordanian political activist, told Middle East Eye. “It comes soaked in the blood of Gaza’s martyrs, from southern Lebanon to Yemen. Despite displacement, destruction, hunger and genocide, Gaza’s people love life, and life…

“How many goals did he score for England? 13? One-three?” Thomas Tuchel had a look of some confusion as he clarified Bukayo Saka’s goal total for England. “This has to be more. It’s not enough. He needs to keep on going. I thought it’s 30 at least! And then I would have said ‘well it’s not enough’ because I’m never, never satisfied.” It had been a straightforward question to Tuchel, trying to elicit some praise for Saka, after he became the highest goal-scoring Arsenal player for England with a fine strike in the friendly win over Wales on Thursday night.But…
