Israel’s prime minister has said the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem will now have “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, after police earlier prevented him from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass there. Benjamin Netanyahu said Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, had been asked not to enter out of concern for his safety as Iran had repeatedly targeted Jerusalem’s holy sites with missiles. The decision to block the cardinal from entering Christianity’s most sacred site had been criticised by several Western nations. Israel’s police later said it had agreed a…

Authorities and traditional leaders in KuGompo City (formerly East London) in South Africa’s Eastern Cape have raised concerns over the reported coronation of a Nigerian community leader.

A Russian tanker carrying oil to Cuba entered the waters off the Communist-run island, Russia’s Interfax news agency reports. The oil shipment – the first to reach Cuba since January – comes hours after US President Donald Trump said that he had no problem with countries, including Russia, sending supplies to the island.

Canada’s left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) has chosen former journalist and activist Avi Lewis as their new leader, after suffering major losses in the last federal election. Lewis received 56% of the vote in a first ballot victory, defeating member of parliament Heather McPherson and three other candidates.

Once the main opposition party in 2011, the NDP now holds only six seats in Canada’s House of Commons.…

Instead of dragging shapes and interfacing lines physically, clients can presently input content, reports, or information and right away create organized graphs. The move is not fair approximately sparing…
