House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy has tried to further walk back his comments blaming former President Trump for the violent riot on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters on January 6. In an interview with Gray Television's Greta Van Susteren airing on Sunday, McCarthy claims that 'everybody across this country has some responsibility' for inciting the riot. McCarthy had previously stated in a floor speech last week that he believed Trump 'bears responsibility' for the violence that resulted in the death of five people, including a Capitol police officer. In the same interview with Van Susteren, McCarthy also spoke out about efforts to move impeachment articles against newly inaugurated President Biden. The Californian Republican revealed he spoke to freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and told her that he disagreed with her actions. House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy told Gray Television's Greta Van Susteren that he believed 'everybody

The letter to Gladys Jones arrived without fanfare - and probably without much hope of a reply. It had been sent by a family she’d met just once on a Danube riverboat in Vienna five years earlier.  A little boy’s shoe had threatened to muddy her skirt as he’d knelt up to get a better view, but she’d laughed it off and accepted his father’s invitation for coffee and a slice of Sachertorte (a rich Austrian chocolate cake) by way of apology. On Gladys’s return to England, she’d sent a note thanking him for his hospitality. Then, one imagines, this middle aged wife of a Chester dentist considered the encounter no more than a souvenir of her 1934 holiday. Now, Frank Kessler and his wife Annie had tracked her down to say they and their son Harry, eight, were in mortal danger.  Gladys and William Jones from Chester took in a family of Jews from Czechoslovakia during World War Two after a chance encounter in Vienna led to them being asked for help.

An alleged drug lord dubbed 'Asia's El Chapo' Tse Chi Lop has been arrested in the Netherlands An accused drug lord dubbed 'Asia's El Chapo' has been arrested following a two-year manhunt led by Australian investigators.  Tse Chi Lop, 57, was dragged off a plane in the Netherlands on Friday after Australian Federal Police issued a request for his arrest through international law-enforcement agency Interpol.   The Chinese-born Canadian national is accused of being one of the world's biggest meth dealers whose syndicate known as The Company or Sam Gor - Cantonese for Brother Number 2 - is allegedly responsible for up to 70 per cent of all narcotics entering Australia.

Nearly half of all people in some areas with a large population of ethnic minorities are refusing the Covid vaccine when offered it due to fears about what it contains. In Birmingham, 50 per cent of those living in areas with high populations of Asian and African-Caribbean people turned down the vaccine when offered it. In Ealing, west London, between 10 and 15 per cent of black people are refusing the vaccine - compared to just 5 per cent of other groups. Meanwhile in Stoke-on-Trent, medics say between 20 and 30 per cent of black and ethnic minority people didn't show up to get their vaccine. In other groups, this figure stood at between 2 and 3 per cent. Fake information about what goes in it or concerns about potential side effects are the main deterrents, local clinical director Lenin Vellaturi claimed.

A dilapidated home once owned by one of Australia's most famous prime ministers has been listed for sale. Former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was controversially sacked from office by then-Governor-General John Kerr during Australia's constitutional crisis in 1975.   Mr Whitlam owned an architect-designed four-bedroom home at Cabramatta, in Sydney's south-west, at the time of his historic ousting - known in Australian political circles as 'The Dismissal'.  Mr Whitlam, then the Member for Werriwa, and his wife Margaret bought the property in 1956 and owned throughout the prime ministerial years starting in 1972.  The former home of Australia's most famous prime minister, Gough Whitlam, has fallen into disrepair with cracked cupboards and the original wallpaper now peeling Former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam gave Australia free healthcare, free education, Aboriginal land rights and ended conscription before he was sacked in 1975.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro could face charges in The Hague after being accused of ‘crimes against humanity’ by indigenous leaders over the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.   Two top Brazilian indigenous leaders asked the international criminal court to investigate Bolsonaro, accusing him of unprecedented environmental damage, killings and persecution. Chief Raoni Metuktire, leader of the Kayapo people, and Chief Almir Narayamoga Surui, leader of the Paiter Surui tribe, filed the claim at The Hague-based court on Friday, January 22. The news comes as support for Bolsonaro, who has overseen the world's second deadliest coronavirus outbreak, has fallen sharply, a Datafolha poll showed today, as a brutal second wave and a lack of vaccines sours views of his far-right government.
