Angela Rayner calls in Army to tackle Birmingham bin crisis

Military personnel take up office-based role to help during strike

Nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy — or of a collective death-wish for the world.

#Mexico’s #Sheinbaum Threatens to Sue #Google Over ‘Gulf of #America’ #Maps #Change
