Oil tumbled after US President Donald Trump said the Iran war will end soon, as he faces mounting pressure over the conflict that’s upended global energy markets and sparked concerns about an inflation crisis. Global benchmark Brent was fluctuating around $93 a barrel after smashing through and holding above $100 for most of the previous session. The conflict, which is now in its second week and has sucked more than a dozen countries into the fray, has led to a surge in energy prices, including oil, natural gas and products such as gasoil. US retail petrol prices have jumped to the highest level since August 2024, putting additional pressure on Trump. “We’re looking to keep the oil prices down,” Mr Trump said.

Eleven wins a row, 15 in the last 16, really should have diluted the enmities and the electricity. Think of Ireland’s win in Edinburgh in 2023 when injuries left Josh van der Flier throwing into the lineout. Only Garry Ringrose, Tadhg Furlong and Josh van der Flier have tasted defeat on the far side. As is Duhan van der Merwe on the wing. Ultimately, the place for Scotland to make their case is in Ballsbridge on Saturday afternoon.

A Cork City councillor has denounced as “cowardly and despicable” what he says is an AI poison pen campaign targeting him and a named public official. That campaign has taken the form of digitally altered council documents circulated around northside WhatsApp groups and making false claims around people seeking asylum. The altered documents purport to show a proposal that the council seek planning permission to develop a disused commercial premises as an International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) centre. The old Keating’s Fitted Furniture building on Ballyvolane’s Ballyhooly Road has been idle for quarter of a century, and, at the January meeting of Cork City Council, a proposal was made that the council compulsorily purchase the property. However, doctored versions of Mr Maher’s motion and Mr Ó Donobháin’s response were circulated in recent days across WhatsApp groups in the Ballyvolane and Mayfield areas.

James Lowe started that game but the groin injury he sustained after 18 minutes ruled the left wing out of the remaining two matches. Stockdale was a more like for like replacement for the left-booted Lowe but handing O’Brien a start on his less familiar flank reignites his partnership with fellow wing Rob Baloucoune. It was a double act which caused England problems throughout, the pair combining on the Baloucoune’s right wing to break into the 22 in the build-up to Jamison Gibson-Park’s opening try. There remains a healthy Ulster contingent in the Irish set-up, with seven from the northern province included in the matchday 23 which faced Wales. Hooker Tom Stewart made his championship debut off the bench and scrum-half Nathan Doak looked assured on his Ireland debut as Gibson-Park’s replacement.

Hauliers have called off a planned protest in Dublin on Tuesday to allow for talks with transport minister Darragh O’Brien. The Irish Road Haulage Association (IRHA) confirmed it is suspending the protest, after discussions took place between Mr O’Brien and the association's president, Ger Hyland. A spokesperson for the IRHA said there would be a face-to-face meeting between the association and Mr O’Brien upon his return from Brazil. A spokesperson for Mr O’Brien said: “The minister recognises the concerns raised by hauliers and acknowledges the important role they play in keeping supply chains and the wider economy moving. The minister will be meeting with representatives of the IRHA next week, as they are key stakeholders in this matter.

Donald Trump has threatened to unleash 'Death, Fire and Fury' upon Iran - as he suggests the war could be nearing an end. It comes after the global price of a barrel jumped over $100 on Monday before dropping to about $90 a barrel after Trump's suggestion that "the war is very complete, pretty much". The US is "very far" ahead of the initial timeframe of four to five weeks set for the conflict, he said. Later, in a post on Truth Social, the US President said that if anything stops the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz - a key chokepoint across the world - the US will offer up a swift and merciless response. He said: "If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.

The Government is projected to miss its renewable energy targets out to 2030, while options to close the gap are being considered. Ministers heard that while Ireland met its renewable energy targets for 2024 of 16%, the State is projected to miss its targets in both 2025 (27.6%) and 2027 (33.6%). These targets are based on the amount of renewable energy within the country’s overall energy consumption across the electricity, heat, and transport sectors. Options on the table to help make up the shortfall include an EU mechanism to contribute to the financing of renewable energy projects in other countries. This, known as the EU renewable energy financing mechanism, would see Ireland fund a project abroad and then receive credit towards the Government’s targets.

Donald Trump responds after his cruel jibe at politician over his small shoe sizeWhen Donald Trump, the US President, suggested the politician's small shoe size was likely to mean underdevelopment elsewhere, the colleague was reportedly embarrassedView 2 Images Donald Trump speaks to reporters during a news conference on Monday (Image: Getty Images)Donald Trump has responded with an act of generosity after embarrassing a politician with a brutal jibe. ‌The US President, 79, had implied the unnamed colleague in the Oval Office his small shoe size was likely to mean underdevelopment elsewhere. Recalling the awkward moment Mr Trump embarrassed the politician, JD Vance said in a podcast: "He asks this politician, who I won't embarrass, what his shoe size is, and he says, 'seven'. The president, he kind of leans back in his chair and says, 'You know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size.'... My shoe size is 13."

Motherhood is a tapestry of lived experience, woven with love, uncertainty, joy, and plenty of challenging moments. Both women became mothers as single parents, though under very different circumstances. Emma was 18 years old, Rachel was 38. Emma remembers fearing how her mother might react; Rachel recalls the relief of finally meeting her mother’s expectations. For Emma, motherhood demanded steel.

The women – captain Zahra Ghanbari, Fatemeh Pasandideh, Zahra Sarbali, Atefeh Ramazanzadeh and Mona Hamoudi – fled their accommodation fearing persecution after refusing to sing Iran's national anthem at the Asian Cup. Chaotic scenes followed outside the stadium when protesters surrounded the team bus, chanting for the players to be allowed to stay in Australia. The situation quickly escalated into an international diplomatic issue after US President Donald Trump intervened publicly, urging Australia to provide asylum to the players. Authorities in Australia have not confirmed whether the newly missing players are seeking asylum or whether they have been located. The anthem incident on the Gold Coast isn't the first time an Iranian national team has staged a protest about the regime that runs the country.
