How an IRA Bombing Mission Turned into Catastrophe

WATCH NOW: https://youtu.be/H46neBTaryM

On Remembrance Sunday in November 1987, an IRA bomb exploded in the Northern Irish town of Enniskillen, killing 11 people and claiming a 12th life when one of the many wounded later died. The Times’s Mario Ledwith returns to his hometown, asking who carried out these bloody murders, how the authorities failed to properly investigate and why a silence continues to surround what happened?

Families of those killed have spent almost 40 years searching for justice and accountability. While ten people have been arrested by Northern Irish police in connection with the bombing, and one person was rearrested in 2016, nobody has ever been charged.

LISTEN NOW: https://youtu.be/ElotzkQZTaM

On the night of September 9, sirens sounded across eastern Poland. Around 20 Russian drones had crossed the border, and NATO aircraft were scrambled to shoot them down. The incident became a wake-up call for Europe and the US, where further sightings of drones over airports and military facilities have since been reported.

This week, Defence Secretary John Healey announced a plan to allow British troops to bring down drones over military bases. But the UK isn’t the only country taking this growing threat more seriously. So what’s Europe’s plan to fight Putin’s drones?

Why Nepal's Violent Gen Z Revolution is Igniting Civil Unrest I Times Explains

WATCH NOW: https://youtu.be/ZRbnDU8D5CQ

Major protests erupted across Nepal, launching the country into chaos – a wave of Gen Z–led demonstrations that quickly turned into violent riots and what many now call the Nepal revolution. Sparked by a government social media ban, the uprising saw tens of thousands of young Nepalis flood the streets of Kathmandu, demanding change after years of corruption and political failure.

For years, young Nepalis watched the same political leaders cling to power while nothing changed. The children of the elite flaunted their privilege online as millions struggled just to get by. When the government tried to silence the growing dissent, it backfired – sparking a wave of anger that spread from TikTok to the streets.

This is the story of Nepal’s Gen Z uprising — how a generation armed with smartphones and fury toppled their leaders, chose a new one on Discord and forced the world to ask: Can an online movement rebuild a nation?

Inside Ecuador’s Narco Violence: The Kidnapping of Colin Armstrong

WATCH NOW: https://youtu.be/io55DiWWGEg

In December 2023, 80-year-old British businessman and former consul Colin Armstrong was kidnapped from his ranch outside Guayaquil, Ecuador. For decades, he had lived and worked peacefully in the country. But today Ecuador has become a narco-state, where powerful gangs rule the streets and kidnapping for ransom has become a booming trade.

Dragged from his home in the middle of the night, Colin was stripped, bound, and thrown into a concrete cell. The gang demanded a $5 million ransom, warning that mutilation — fingers, ears — would follow if their demands weren’t met. His partner Katherine was forced into a fake explosive vest and told to deliver a phone in Guayaquil, her life hanging on whether she dared to cut the red wire.

For the kidnappers, Colin was nothing more than a bargaining chip in a ruthless cash-for-hostage game. For Colin, it was a Close Call that brought him face to face with the darkest side of a country overrun by drug cartels and violent gangs.

Why Donald Trump is at War with Venezuela’s “Narcoterrorist Empire”

WATCH NOW: https://youtu.be/f8B-tcKFDXs

Sabre-rattling is driving a wedge in the MAGA camp as President Trump imposed a $50m bounty on Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan dictator, who is training a citizen army amid the largest US military build-up in the Caribbean.

The rise in tension comes after the US launched deadly airstrikes on what they claim were Venezuelan drug boats attempting to transport narcotics into America. Trump claims those on board were members of a Venezuelan gang, the Tren de Aragua, and operating under the control of Maduro.

Maduro denies the allegations and condemns the build-up of US forces as “aggression”. Venezuela has responded with large-scale military exercises, deploying thousands of troops.

So how did we get to a point where the US is bombing boats hundreds of miles away?

Is Trump striking legitimate targets?

And why is he trying to oust Maduro from power?
