It wasn't that one it was the department store one - her testimony below. As I'm not a woman who's ever been raped by a powerful man I have no idea why she didn't go to the police at the time. It does seem a bit off that she waited until Trump was involved in politics, but she was no porn actress. She said she pushed him back and he again shoved her against the wall, banging her head. She described how Mr. Trump used his weight to hold her against the wall, then pulled down her tights. Ms. Carroll grew emotional as she testified. “I was pushing him back,” she said. “I was almost too frightened to think if I was afraid or not,” she added later. “His fingers went into my vagina, which was extremely painful,” Ms. Carroll testified. Then, she said, he inserted his penis.

an eye for an eye, not 300 eyes for an eye - the real terrorists have been at it for years In 1948, a group of Israeli terrorists known as Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang) assassinated Count Folke Bernadotte, the United Nations mediator, in Jerusalem. Lehi viewed Bernadotte as a threat to the emerging State of Israel because they feared his peace proposals would be detrimental to their cause.

A British government minister said it was appalling that the anti-Israel chants had been made at Glastonbury, and that the festival's organisers and the BBC broadcaster - which is showing the event - had questions to answer. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he was also appalled by violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. "I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News. "I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said.

Iran were more into uranium, apparently 400 odd kilos of 60% enriched unaccounted for. If I was working for Iran I would suggest splitting the 400 kilos into 800 packages - make it like an Easter egg hunt

that was why I bothered, although on reflection the time would have been better spent checking myself for ticks - I already know the illegal immigrants are sucking my blood - no need to check for them

The only way Trump can be sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon is to invade and conquer the country Analysts largely agree that no amount of bombing could totally eradicate Iran's nuclear programme, and have pointed out that the American and Israeli campaign could have the opposite effect. Dr Andreas Krieg, an expert in Middle East security and senior lecturer at King's College London's School of Security Studies, told MailOnline: 'Going after Iran's nuclear programme could reinforce Tehran's belief that a nuclear deterrent is not only justified but essential for regime survival'. 'Rather than halting Iran's nuclear trajectory, the strikes may serve as a vindication of the logic that drives Iran's long-term nuclear ambition - deterrence through capability,' he said. Dr Andreas Boehm, international law expert at the University of St. Gallen, was even more forthright. 'After the experiences of Ukraine, Libya and now Iran on the one hand, and North Korea on the other, there can be no other conclusion than that only the possession of nuclear weapons offers protection against attack,' he said. 'For this or any subsequent Iranian regime, the path of negotiation is no longer an option. It will now work even more resolutely towards acquiring a nuclear bomb.' Some Western leaders appear to share this view. French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters today he felt there was an 'increased' risk that Iran would attempt to enrich uranium secretly in the wake of US-Israeli attacks.

This is why banks have customer services departments - to confuse their clients

I agree with those who say the tree will most likely survive. The question is in future years will there be more root trouble with the paths? It is probably just self seeded from years ago. It can be retained and inspected, pruned periodically, or something smaller planted further in your garden e.g acer palmatum - bearing in mind establishing a new tree will need regular watering or one of those tree watering bags

My argument is Israel has been unofficially 'allowed' to build a stockpile of nukes, so the same applies if Israel were ever to fire a 100 nukes at Lebanon, Iran or wherever. But of course Israel are the good guys, so their nukes don't matter, Israel are responsible and will keep their nukes as a deterrent only. Bit like N Korea (deterrent only!)
-
they don't - obviously they want nuclear weapons - their arch enemy Israel has loads, an undocumented amount. The interesting question for me is - if Iran were to make a hundred and there is a 10% chance of them getting through air defences, then Iran could destroy Israel, or at least level the major cities. Now, that is not disputed, but I often wonder would Iran really do it, because Israel and probably US too, would then visit upon Iran a nuclear holocaust. I suppose all the fuss is because people think Iran are mad enough to not worry about mutually assured destruction. Also Iran is big geographically, so would require a lot of nukes to be sure of a good kill

Highly enriched uranium 'moved from Fordow', Iranian sources claim Senior Iranian sources have told Reuters most of the highly enriched uranium at the Fordow site had been moved away before the US attack. the only way is a land invasion and scour the country with a Geiger counter that's what Iran is hoping everyone is thinking, so they can get on with their work now
-
so it's done - at least in theory, maybe the Iranians are busy enriching 3km below the surface! In a post on social media earlier, the US president said ‘A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home’

this is almost as good as the Tree Surgeons Mastermind podcasts

Why do these people have to keep writing swear words? Maybe it makes them feel more down to earth, in tune with the spirit of the people.

Justify isn't the word I would use, but if you are a Palestinian in the West Bank the Israeli settlers turfing you out of your home must be unpleasant to say the least. Palestinians have been murdered in the West Bank if they try to resist the encroachment of Israelis onto their land. And Netanyahu's government has been authorising ever more expansions into the Palestinian territory. The international community, with exception of US view Israeli settlements in the West Bank as illegal, but no country dares to put it's foot down and intervene for fear of the United States. Of course Hamas attack has failed, anything they could have ever conceived would have failed, they didn't have any strength at all and hardly any heavy firepower. With the US backing Israel the Palestinians can't really fight back against their land being taken. Israel approves biggest expansion of West Bank settlements in decades | CNN EDITION.CNN.COM Israel approved a massive expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank this week in a move described as a continuation of de facto annexation of the territory.

You probably dont think its all that bad that for decades Israel has been taking Palestinian land in the West Bank.
-
Israel has taken better care of the Palestinians than Hamas? I dont doubt Hamas steals some of the aid, but Hamas has not bombed Palestinian cities into the ground. Israel have repeatedly cut off water and electricity. The American Indians got a lot of bad press at the time, journalists trying to justify gunning the savages down.
-
With no one to stand up to Israel they will continue murdering and stealing land. What Israel has done in flattening Gaza and placing a perimeter blockade, starving people, seems to me one of the worst war crimes in recent years. You talk about Iran being the one with genocidal intentions - the IDF are nicer than the mullahs? The number of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank is ramping up, Palestinians being murdered and pushed out all the time. Not all Jews are bad, but plenty of Israelis are. I feel that nearly all western news feeds the narrative of Iran must be stopped, no one says Israel must be stopped from their slow motion wiping out Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.

In the autumn you can check all around the base of the tree for fungal brackets, if you really want to investigate you can pay for a PICUS test or similar, will be able to detect the amount of decay in the base of the trunk As its US, here is a link to one of the long established US forums (if you ask there it has a tree care and health section) https://www.masterblasterhome.com/ If the tree is infected by October you should see fruiting bodies around the base e.g below is an image of inside a tree trunk - an expensive service, but may give you peace of mind

what gets me is Israel and US are allowed to have masses of nuclear weapons, but they dont want Iran to have any. Netanyahu doesnt want a fair fight, he wants Israel to be in charge, to be dominant. The same goes for the US and China - I dont like the idea of China taking back Taiwan, but to have a nuclear power capable of taking on US means tbat the world doesnt have to accept US foreign policy for fear of being attacked. If Iran becomes westernised, they still wont be allowed nukes - Israel wants to be the only ones, so unfair. Its like in Gaza, give Hamas the same weaponry as Israel to make it a fair fight
-
No, not 'the world' Some countries get along with Iran Same as some countries get along with North Korea Iran knows it couldnt wipe out Israel without all Iranian cities being destroyed. Israel has been making nuclear war heads at their underground sites since the 1980s. The whole non proliferation thing is so condescending. The US should not be able to tell other countries what to do, just because they have the most nukes.
