      Iran vows revenge against Israel for strike on Natanz nuclear plant

      The incident โ€“ which came as US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin was visiting Israel โ€“ could complicate ongoing efforts by Iran and the United States to restore the 2015 nuclear deal, an agreement Tehran signed with major powers in the face of fierce Israeli opposition. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu โ€“ fighting for his political survival at home โ€“ last week vowed that he would not be bound to any agreement that would enable Iran to develop "weapons that threaten our extinction". "Iran has never given up its quest for nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them," he told reporters on Monday.

      Virginia police officer fired after violent stop of Black Army officer. Governor calls for state investigation.

      The town of Windsor, Virginia, said Sunday that one officer has been fired and another disciplined over an arrest in December that went viral on social media over the weekend. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) said earlier Sunday that video of the traffic stop, in which Army Lt. Caron Nazario was pepper-sprayed at gunpoint by two officers, "is disturbing and angered me," and he said he has directed the Virginia State Police to investigate the incident. Nazario, who is Black and Latino, is also suing the officers, Joe Gutierrez and Daniel Crocker, in federal court.

      The head of the Anti-Defamation League has called for Fox News to fire Tucker Carlson, after the primetime host said immigration would โ€œdilute the political powerโ€ of Americans. Carlson was referring to โ€œwhite replacementโ€, a racist theory that has been cited as a motivation in deadly attacks. I think we've really crossed a new threshold when a major news network dismisses this or pretends like it isn't important,โ€ Greenblatt said.

      Why Prince Philipโ€™s great-grandchildren shouldn't attend the Royal funeral

      Of all the images that stood out during the televised funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, there was one that has endured in the collective consciousness longer than any other: that of two boys who had just lost their mother, walking in sombre procession behind her coffin, while the world looked in upon their most private moment. Almost a quarter of a century later, has there been a change of heart within the monarchy about the role of children at Royal funerals? It is understood that the Duke's 10 great-grandchildren, who include Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will not be in attendance at his funeral this Saturday.

      The U.S. economy is poised for an extended period of strong growth and hiring, the chair of the Federal Reserve said in an interview broadcast Sunday, though the coronavirus still poses some risk. Chair Jerome Powell, speaking to CBS' โ€œ60 Minutes," also said that he doesn't expect to raise the Fed's benchmark interest rate, currently pegged at nearly zero, this year. And he downplayed the risk of higher inflation stemming from sharp increases in government spending and expanding budget deficits.
