Artemis IV and beyond speak of permanence: a Gateway, a space station circling the Moon, a Starbucks, maybe. And yet the same cheque book that funds the dream of humanity living among the stars is underwriting the deliberate unravelling of humanity on Earth. The Moon, he suggested, was being used as a mirror for national power rather than a window for human humility. That the Moon is about “all mankind,” while Gaza and Palestine is a deeply complex “problem” requiring diplomatic dexterity.

This is a Christmas message to a 10-year-old boy who bears my name and carries my heart and soul. Despite the challenges that lie ahead, the one constant in life will be the joyful impact of Santa during those precious younger years.

So in this time and space beyond where you are, let me offer you, my younger self, some advice.

Prior to this meeting, Mr Major had held an hour-long tete-a-tete with Mr Reynolds where the Prime Minister had contended that co-operation on security matters had been better than it had ever been. Former justice minister Padraig Flynn (Cathal McNaughton/PA)However, that assessment was challenged when Mr Flynn and Mr Mayhew joined the leaders. Mr Major told him not to worry about being discordant and assured him matters would be looked at. The Prime Minister joked that this meant officials who had been working 16 hours a day would now be working 24 hours a day. Mr Major reiterated his Government’s sincerity and attempted the resolve the row amicably: “I don’t mind being shouted at – it is quite like the House of Commons.

This year, 93 per cent of all applicants chose the Passport Online service when applying for their passport. Passport Online has transformed how Irish citizens access this essential service.

I encourage everyone to use Passport Online when applying for, or renewing, their passport.”

Premier League: Manchester United 1 Newcastle United 0NO Bruno Fernandes? No problem for Manchester United as Ruben Amorim might just have stumbled on the most simple of solutions to his side's infuriating inconsistency. Newcastle joined Sunderland in becoming the only sides to fail to score against Manchester United this season — is it a North-East thing? Only a smart save low to his right from the increasingly employed Newcastle keeper prevented Dorgu from doubling his and his team's tally. Anthony Gordon should have taken advantage of the reorganising hosts but fired across the face of goal.

Freedom helps support victims of forced marriage, female genital mutilation and family dishonour. The UK government set up the Forced Marriage Unit in 2005 to tackle the rise in domestic forced marriage and introduced a law in 2014 making FGM illegal. Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, Jess Phillips, said: 'So called "honour"-based abuse has no place in our society. 'We are determined to tackle these crimes and have recently increased funding for the national "honour"-based abuse helpline to support more victims. 'We will lay out more ways we plan to tackle "honour"-based abuse in our upcoming strategy to halve violence against women and girls over the next decade.'

Photograph: Cillian Sherlock/PA WireIf the first part of 2025 in Irish politics had a defining characteristic, it was stasis. While defensible in macroeconomic terms, the decision carried some political risk, even as it was simultaneously being criticised as insufficiently prudent. Within weeks, Donohoe had exited Irish politics to take up a position at the World Bank. Despite Connolly’s success, with a general election up to four years away the prospects for any major realignment in Irish politics remain cloudy. Ultimately, then, this was a year in which Irish politics seemed to lag behind reality.

The world’s most commonly prescribed opioid has been shown to offer limited pain relief benefits while elevating the risk of deadly cardiovascular events. Of the 19 pain studies analyzed, five examined nerve pain, nine focused on osteoarthritis, four looked at chronic low back pain and one studied fibromyalgia. The ‘cardiac events’ category was created from individual reports like ‘myocardial infarction,’ (heart attack), ‘chest pain’ and ‘congestive heart failure’ that were documented. CAD is a leading cause of chest pain, heart attack, heart failure and death. Tramadol is often prescribed to older adults with chronic pain, the same population most likely to have cardiovascular disease.

Sir Alastair Cook has pinpointed England’s ‘massive disconnect’ with the County Championship as a major reason why Ben Stokes’ side have failed to win back the Ashes. ‘They started off with a bang, Key, McCullum and Stokes. ‘But these guys have totally and utterly said that County Cricket is irrelevant. There’s a massive disconnect at the moment from this England side to County Cricket. So the reality has just hit this England Test team and they’ve got to decide how they’re going to play with what players afterwards.
