Süd- und Nordkorea wollen trotz des verschärften Konflikts um das nordkoreanische Atomprogramm wieder aufeinander zugehen. Einen Tag nach einem überraschenden Gesprächsangebot Nordkoreas schlug der südkoreanische Vereinigungsminister Cho Myong-gyon am Dienstag eine Zusammenkunft auf hoher Ebene in der nächsten Woche im Grenzort Panmunjom vor.

The most recent public opinion survey, conducted by MaltaToday on Christmas Eve, shows the trust rating of the new Nationalist Party leader continuing on its downward slide, down to 7.2 per cent, and the Prime Minister’s still at 50.4 per cent – a chasm between the two leaders. One of the reasons for this unprecedented trust-rating difference between the Labour and Nationalist leaders is that Adrian Delia keeps coming as a very weak leader who has no control whatsoever over his parliamentary group.

“The Bachelor” is back in our lives to fill a Neil Lane diamond-sized hole, and the premiere on Monday night did not disappoint. Race car driver-turned-real estate agent Arie Luyendyk Jr. is five years older, has a bit more salt and pepper in his hair and is ready for a second chance at love.

In 1989, a song by musician Korin Alal jokingly called Israel a “small country with a mustache,” referencing the one belonging to then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir. Much like Shamir himself, 74 at the time, his mustache was a remnant of an older Israel, traditional and decidedly un-trendy when it came to men’s looks. It was also an odd sight in Israeli politics; until very recently, mustaches and beards in Israel were associated, for the most part, with religious and ethnic minority groups.

Bernie Sanders gave a speech in which he identified himself as “the son of a Polish immigrant.” This was not exactly false—Sanders’ father, Eli, did come to America from Poland, at the age of 17. But it wasn’t exactly true, either, since as many Jews hastened to point out, a Jew from Poland is not and never was simply Polish. On the contrary: From the 14th century, when large numbers of Jews began to settle in Poland at the invitation of Casimir the Great... Читать дальше...
