Donald Trump has announced tariffs of up to 100 per cent on medicines but most exports from Ireland look set to avoid the charges. Photograph: Brendan Smialowski / AFP via Getty ImagesMost Irish pharmaceutical exports look set to escape 100 per cent tariffs announced overnight by the Trump administration. Tariffs on imports from major economies that cut deals with the White House will be capped at 15 per cent. The White House said the tariff-free exemption would last until January 29th, 2029. That means the new levies will mainly hit smaller pharmaceutical companies and ingredient manufacturers.

Valerie’s Law would strip automatic child guardianship rights from those convicted of killing the other parent of their child. Photograph: Getty Images/iStockphotoThe Department of Justice is to press ahead with plans to strip guardianship rights from killers despite the State’s child and family agency raising concerns that the legislation is unconstitutional. The department said it is “satisfied” that a Bill known as Valerie’s Law “is constitutional in all respects”. Valerie’s Law, if enacted, would strip automatic child guardianship rights from those convicted of killing their partner or the other parent of their child. He continued to have guardianship rights over their three boys despite his murder conviction.

The digital wallet system will include a version of a person’s birth certificate, driving licence and other official documents. Photograph: Getty ImagesTensions are brewing within the Government over the slow pace of progress on plans to set age limits for social media access. However, Minister for Communications Patrick O’Donovan’s department wants the same wallet to be used to set age limits for social network access as part of the Coalition’s commitment to online child safety. Late last year O’Donovan and Tánaiste Simon Harris began discussing its potential to set robust online age limits as more countries started to consider limiting children’s access to social media. Despite the issue being discussed at Cabinet meetings at least three times over the last nine months, there have been no proposals brought forward to legislate for social media age limits.

A woman has told of her horror after she was 'trapped' in her Travelodge hotel room for an hour while a naked man knocked on the door and performed sex acts outside. Sharing her story, Ms Griffith told the BBC that the incident involving her, last summer, had caused a lasting 'psychological impact'. She said: 'The impact that has resulted in terms of the psychological impact, the flashbacks, the impact to my business, my livelihood, all of it, and my situation was not as extreme as the lady in the Travelodge Maidenhead hotel.' She also revealed the horrifying discovery that during a lull in the hour she was targeted, her tormentor had asked reception for a replacement room key - but gave her room number. Last month the company announced an overhaul of its room key policy after the Maidenhead incident came to light.

HSE home-birth midwife Ali Boylan. Photo: Ruth MedjberUntil this week, when I met Ali Boylan, a registered HSE midwife, who cleared up some very common myths that besiege her profession. Ali is a home-birth midwife and believes greatly in empowering eligible women and their partners to have their babies from the comfort of their own homes. But it’s you having the baby, you’re having the baby and you’re OK.’”Ali says that “the free HSE home-birth service is the best kept secret of the HSE”. Imagine if all the women, all your friends that had babies were feeling on top of the world and they felt like they did something that can change the world, rather than coming home a bit broken, a bit shook, scared and traumatised.

The actress, 29, looked sensational in a flowing navy gown with a sheer bodice that showcased her toned abs. Last week she called on her friend Cate Blanchett to provide her 'something borrowed' look for the Rome premiere. For her something old, Zendaya re-wore the same custom Vivienne Westwood gown she donned to the 2015 Oscars for the LA premiere.

Lorna Luxe devastatingly recalled her late husband John Andrews' 'slow and sad death' in a new interview on Thursday. Lorna explained how his death was not how she had imagined it to be as 'every breath became a chore'. 'When I started to go through John’s phone for his passwords, as he told me to, he’d left these short, sweet, beautiful notes.' Lorna explained how he had also left a 'funny' list of people she wasn't allowed to date, but wasn't 'naming names.' In the last few years prior to his death, Lorna and John said they made sure to live life to the very fullest.

Former Iranian foreign minister Kamal Kharazi has been gravely wounded, and his wife killed, in a targeted United States-Israeli strike on their Tehran home. As head of Iran’s foreign affairs council, Kharazi has been an influential figure in guiding his country’s policy. He advised Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who was assassinated on February 28th when the US-Israel war on Iran began. Kharazi was recently involved in Pakistani efforts to arrange a meeting between senior Iranian officials and US vice-president JD Vance. After Iran’s 1979 revolution, Kharazi held media, academic, governmental and diplomatic positions, and chaired Iranian delegations at international conferences.

He was shocked to hear that I had never been to Jingshan Park or climbed to the Wanchun Pavilion at the top of the hill which gives a magnificent view of the Forbidden City below. Visitors take photographs at Jingshan Park of the Forbidden City. Beihai Park is almost adjacent to Jingshan Park and Lei suggested we take a walk around its lake so he could inspect the ducks and geese. One afternoon, she visited the temple Lei and I were looking at and told a monk there about her husband’s death and his family’s hostility towards her. Jingshan Park, Beijing.

One of the world's most respected bass players, he has performed with Pink Floyd, Roxy Music and Madonna. But after decades on stage, Guy Pratt now has a 'yen' for 'more genteel pursuits' and has taken up bell-ringing in his local church. The British guitarist, 64, who performed with Pink Floyd during the 1980s following the departure of Roger Waters, now rings the bells in the 14th-century St Andrew's Church in the village of Alfriston, East Sussex. 'Many old rockers have taken up - or have always had a yen for - more genteel pursuits, he wrote in the latest edition of The Oldie. Pratt then 'embraced' village life for the first time and embarked on bell-ringing lessons with the rector.

It was revealed to me, amid attempts to persuade me that Stalin was a very good thing, that the Communist Party had the best shindig in town on Good Fridays. This was before widgets that made canned stout allegedly taste like the real thing, and further technological developments which made it taste more like the real thing. The only alternative to the real thing in those days was a bottle of stout, and while bottled stout had its connoisseurs, it was emphatically not the real thing. [ ‘A blessing for the country’ how The Irish Times greeted the Good Friday drink law in 1927Opens in new window ]So the goo contributed to left-wing causes in the inner city. The north inner city had long been designated the most disadvantaged area in the country, with tragic levels of unemployment, bad housing and educational neglect.

The presidency of the United States carries a global weight. It is especially troubling when such rhetoric is directed towards a civilisation that has contributed so richly to humanity. To reduce such a people to caricature or contempt is not only unjust, it is a failure of historical memory and moral imagination. What is needed is not escalation, but reflection; not threats, but a renewed commitment to dialogue and the common good. By tearing up the rule books of international organisations, the United States is exposing the democratic world to serious risk.

To make matters worse, five years ago, the then government, at the insistence of the Greens, banned exploration for natural gas off our shores. The rationale for the policy was to promote the use of non-carbon sources for electricity generation, but the move never made sense on any level. We still rely on natural gas for almost half our electricity generation, but 80 per cent of it is imported. So far, instead of allowing exploration for natural gas to resume in our coastal waters, the State is planning to take the lead in building a liquid natural gas storage (LNG) facility in the Shannon Estuary with the aim of giving us a strategic reserve by 2030. [ Irish people fail to understand how fragile our electricity supply isOpens in new window ]“Ireland’s position right now is one of pure hypocrisy when it comes to electricity generation.
