The 60-year-old oak, planted in 1966 near Cossington's Main Street to remember Sir Winston Churchill, was felled last Friday by developer Bellway Homes to build a safe access road for a 130-home estate. Residents campaigned for years with protests, an MP's support, and a petition of over 58,000 signatures, but highway safety rules from 2022 planning permission required its removal. Bellway plans a sapling from its acorn, a Churchill sculpture from the trunk, and new trees, while Winston Churchill's grandson called the act wicked.

Penny Weston-Webb, 86, stood in tears watching contractors cut down the oak she helped plant as a girl to honor Winston Churchill. For villagers, it marked the end of a cherished piece of their history.

The reforms target Argentina's inflexible labor laws, blamed for high informality affecting nearly half the workforce and blocking job growth. Key features include a 'time bank' for up to 12-hour shifts balanced by later time off, cash-focused salaries with some in-kind options like food, extended eight-month probation periods without severance, and caps on dismissal pay. Supporters see it boosting employment and flexibility, while unions call it a dangerous rollback of rights amid economic struggles. The bill now faces an uncertain path in the lower house, following Milei's reforms that have slashed inflation and lifted 1.7 million children from poverty.

Key Takeaway

After a grueling all-night debate, senators voted 42-30 to approve President Javier Milei's bold plan to shake up rigid labor rules. Protests raged outside with stones and tear gas, but the bill cleared a key hurdle.

In July 2025, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a 2020 House report detailing irregularities in the Obama administration's January 2017 assessment on Russian interference. It describes President Obama ordering CIA Director John Brennan to quickly produce the ICA after Trump's win, using hand-picked experts who sidelined objections to weak sources like the Steele dossier and intel showing Putin expected Clinton to prevail. Gabbard labeled it a treasonous plot, referring it to the Justice Department, while critics call it politicized revisionism that doesn't disprove the interference itself. No charges have followed as of February 2026, but the releases continue fueling heated debate.

Key Takeaway

Tulsi Gabbard released files last year exposing what analysts called a rushed Obama-era intelligence report on Russian election meddling. The move has reignited calls for accountability from Trump supporters.
