EU publishes plan to keep Northern Ireland in customs union

By
The EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has conceded that border checks within the UK may be necessary in the future as Brussels published a draft withdrawal agreement under which the Northern Ireland would effectively stay in the single market and customs union after Brexit.

In a development that pushes the negotiations into a dangerous new phase, EU said the territory of Northern Ireland may be considered part of the EU’s customs territory after Brexit, with checks required on goods coming in from the rest of the UK, to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland.

Under the draft withdrawal agreement, a raft of single market legislation would also apply to ensure the province stays in lockstep with laws of the Republic of Ireland that are relevant to the north-south flow of trade and in maintaining all parts of the Good Friday agreement that has kept the peace since 1998.

From shark attack survivor to para-snowboarder: the Sean Pollard story

By
Paralympians enter their chosen sport for all sorts of reasons – whether they have experienced a life-long disability or had a life-changing illness or event – but few have a back-story as dramatic as Australian para-snowboarder Sean Pollard. Pollard’s life was changed in just a couple of minutes when he was attacked by two Great White sharks while surfing in Esperance in October 2014, losing his left arm and his right hand in his struggle to escape. In the aftermath of the attack he needed seven blood transfusions amounting to three litres of blood. “I was pretty lucky to get to hospital within an hour of the attack” he recalls. It took over 150 stitches to close the wounds that had threatened his life, and he spent weeks in hospital. Source :- theguardian

Greek coalition forced into cabinet reshuffle after benefits scandal

By
The Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has been forced into an emergency cabinet reshuffle following the resignation of two ministers over housing benefit claims that have embarrassed Athens’ leftist-led coalition.
