Martin Clunes and Osian Morgan in Power: The Downfall Of Huw Edwards 5Martin Clunes has received widespread praise for his leading performance in a new drama about Huw Edwards, even if the show itself has proved to be more on the divisive side. The Wuthering Heights star portrayed the disgraced BBC News anchor in Power: The Downfall Of Huw Edwards, a feature-length drama which aired on 5 (the broadcaster previously known as Channel 5) on Tuesday evening. AdvertisementAfter the show aired, the Wuthering Heights actor received unanimous praise for his portrayal of Edwards. There’s also the calculating curmudgeon, always covering his own back and admonishing perceived missteps.”Advertisement“Clunes bears little physical resemblance to Edwards and doesn’t make a great effort to mimic his Welsh accent. Unfortunately, the drama itself is hamstrung by some surprisingly tin-eared dialogue and equally shaky acting, rather sapping the whole thing of its potency.”

via Associated PressIran has the “upper hand” in its war against the US and Israel, according to a former MI6 chief. AdvertisementAlmost a month after the president attacked Iran without telling US allies, ex-secret intelligence chief Alex Younger said it was clear Iran have the “upper hand”. Advertisement“But the reality is the US underestimated the task and I think as of about two weeks ago, lost the initiative to Iran. He also said Trump’s own remarks about “regime change” will confirm to Iran that they’re in a “civilisational war”, a “war of existence”. “In those terms I think that’s imbued them with more staying power than the US and certainly US counterparts.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump has listed five objectives that the U.S. wants to achieve before ending its war with Iran. The Pentagon has generally lumped it into the first objective of destroying Iran’s missile capability. U.S. Central Command has said its targets for strikes in Iran have included weapons production and missile and drone manufacturing facilities.

The higher oil prices in 2026 and 2027 lead to higher US crude output than last month’s STEO in 2027 by about 500 kb/d. The higher natural gas output compared to previous STEO reports is mostly due to higher associated gas output that is assumed to come from the Permian Basin. Note that the chart above shows marketed natural gas, before the NGL is removed, where the previous chart gives us dry natural gas production after the NGL has been removed from the wet gas stream. Marketed natural gas output in 2027 is forecast at an average annual rate of 123.9 BCF/d, about 11.6 BCF/d more than dry natural gas average output in 2027. Average annual Permian tight oil output increases by about 6 kb/d from 2025 to 2027 for this scenario.

The House Intelligence Committee voted Tuesday to give federal prosecutors classified records related to John Brennan, according to a committee spokesperson, signaling the Justice Department’s investigation into the former CIA director may be heading towards possible charges. Federal prosecutors have for months worked to build a case against Brennan over allegations that he lied to Congress about a years-ago intelligence assessment on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. One of the records the committee will turn over is a transcript of an interview with Brennan, the source said. The DOJ’s request for Intelligence Committee records was first reported by Punchbowl News. Brennan told House investigators in 2017 that Russia “brazenly interfered” in US elections, including actively contacting members of Trump’s campaign.
