A gun, which he was legally carrying, was removed during a struggle with several Ice agents seconds before he was shot, while prone, several times. Mr Pretti had come to assist another protester, who had been pushed to the ground by an agent, seconds before the fatal incident. FBI director Kash Patel on Sunday insisted that Mr Pretti had been the aggressor. Connecticut senator Chris Murphy warned on Sunday that the flooding of Minneapolis with some 3,000 Ice agents had little to with undocumented immigrants. He urged the administration to work with city and state officials “to avert more chaos and achieve legitimate law enforcement goals ...

Separately, the UK reached its own deal, accepting a tariff of 10 per cent on its exports to the US. While that threat was apparently lifted at Davos, there can be no certainty that fickle US decision-makers won’t renew these tariff threats. Almost half of the EU imports of US services come through Ireland, so there is no way we could escape such an EU action. Imposing penalties on services imports is much trickier than on goods imports, Customs officers don’t police the optical fibre connections with the US. Given their serious market power, these companies would eventually try and recoup losses from EU trade measures through higher prices in the EU.

She rose to fame on BBC talent show I'd Do Anything and is a hot favourite to win Best Actress at this year's Oscars. But despite being a fixture on big and small screen for two decades, Hamnet star Jessie Buckley certainly didn't learn her craft from watching television. The Irish actress, 36, who grew up in Killarney, Co Kerry, only got a TV when she was a teenager. And, her family said, a childhood without a TV in the house helped to cultivate her talent for music and creativity. Ms Buckley's turn as Shakespeare's wife Agnes in Hamnet has so far won her the Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award.

Five African nations have launched a withering attack on Labour's plan to ban the import of big game hunting trophies. They wrote: 'The UK Government's ongoing commitment to ban the import of hunting trophies has major implications for conservation outcomes and the UK's long-standing commitment to the wellbeing of rural communities in our nations. He also noted the Government has no plans to ban trophy heads from the thousands of deer shot in Britain every year. Mr Williams said the hypocritical move to ban trophies from African hunts without consulting indigenous people 'risks repeating patterns reminiscent of the colonial past'. Last year Lorraine Kelly teamed up with Ricky Gervais in his campaign to raise awareness against trophy hunting.

Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is populated by a rogues’ gallery and operates under an opaque, unaccountable governance structure. States will join the board for three years but a donation of $1 billion can buy them a permanent seat. The charter does not mention Gaza but when the UN Security Council endorsed Trump’s 20-point peace plan last November, it also authorised the Board of Peace to take control of the Strip following last October’s ceasefire. Much of the board’s work in Gaza will be done by its executive board and its high representative for the Strip, former Bulgarian foreign minister Nickolay Mladenov. The UN Security Council authorised the Board of Peace to run Gaza until the end of 2027 and requested that it provides a written report to the council every six months.

Grants for windows and doors were previously only available for homes undergoing deep retrofits. The fixed-amount windows-and-doors grant is expected to be announced by Minister for Energy Darragh O’Brien after Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting. Grants for windows and doors were previously only available for homes undergoing deep retrofits, which cost tens of thousands of euro. Improving the energy efficiency of doors and windows helps to minimise heat loss and allows a heat pump to operate at lower temperatures. Labour leader Ivana Bacik said on Sunday that Mr Martin should not take part in this year’s shamrock ceremony at the White House with US president Donald Trump.

Sir, – It is becoming increasingly embarrassing to be Irish. We take all we can from the world without any notion of contributing (excepting our wonderful UN peacekeepers). Surely it’s time for us to grow up and give something back to the world? At the very least, drop neutrality, join Nato and at least give the impression that we care about the security of Europe. – Yours, etc,GEORGE PARSONS,Leopardstown,Dublin.
