Report condemns Life in the UK test as a “random selection of obscure facts”By CJ McKinney The Life in the UK test is a “random selection of obscure facts and subjective assertions” and needs urgent reform, a Lords committee has concluded. Most migrants have to sit the Life in the UK test when applying for settlement or citizenship. The 24-question, multiple-choice exam is designed to ensure that “people who are committing to become British citizens have knowledge of our values, history and culture” but even the Home Secretary has described it as a “pub quiz”.

BRETT WILKINS Panicked children and adults ran for their lives Monday as at least six people were killed and dozens more were wounded in a mass shooting that took place during a Fourth of July parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.

A mother sits with her son at the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center on June 21, 2018 in McAllen, Texas. (Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images). The court put children in the firing line of fossil fuel pollution and climate change, rather than rescue them from harm's way. DERRICK Z. JACKSON It appears to be of no concern to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ultraconservative majority how children are collateral damage in its monumental rulings to close the 2021-22 term. First, the conservatives struck down New York’s requirement for gun owners to prove why they should be allowed to pack heat in public. The ruling ignored, among many practical realities, that bullets are now the top killer of children. Then, in overturning Roe ...

POLYCHRONIOU The 2022 NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) summit, which was held in Madrid, Spain, from June 28-30, has produced a new strategic concept for an alliance which only a few years ago was declared "brain-dead" by French President Emmanuel Macron that will define its future for the next ten years. Indeed, thanks to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the world's largest military alliance has made a comeback, and with a vengeance. Russia has once again become its main target. The new strategi...
