D-Day: What did NI’s newspapers report?
Hours after the historic landings had begun, a late edition of the Belfast Telegraph declared it was "Europe's greatest day". "In this brief manner the United Nations, their enemies, and the peoples of neutral nations, were told that 'The Day' had arrived," the Belfast Telegraph reported. The day after D-Day, 7 June, more information was being relayed to anxious families in towns and villages across Ireland. Such memories of bombing raids would have remained raw in Northern Ireland after the Blitz. A reminder of this can be seen in the top masthead of the Belfast Telegraph which informed readers of the black-out times to abide by.

South Korean group flies propaganda leaflets across border following North’s trash-balloon launches
The launches are escalating animosities, with South Korea suspending a tension-easing deal with North Korea and preparing to resume frontline military activities. North Korea had halted its flights of rubbish-carrying balloons but threatened to resume them if South Korean activists sent leaflets again. The South Korean civilian group, led by North Korean defector Park Sang-hak, said it floated 10 balloons tied to 200,000 anti-Pyongyang leaflets, USB sticks with K-pop songs and South Korean dramas and one-dollar U.S. bills from a border town on Thursday. In reaction to the North’s balloon campaign, South Korea fully suspended a 2018 tension-easing agreement with North Korea. North Korea has previously responded to such flyovers of advanced U.S. aircraft with provocative missile tests.

Why setting the 1.5°C limit was a grave mistake
The “Northern Star,” the 1.5°C limit, was the closest compromise scientists could reach, given the momentum of the free market economy, which was and still is based on fossil fuels. The 1.5°C temperature limit was not a target or prize but a dangerous threshold that should not be crossed at any cost. Above all, you don’t respect a limit when you stand to lose $7 trillion in subsidies per year alone. Just setting the 1.5°C limit was an invitation to break it. Now, as we are crossing the 1.5°C threshold, we simply confirm that it was never a promise of paradise but a door to hell on earth.
