Battersea Dogs & Cats Home has been “overwhelmed and touched” by public donations, which have passed £100,000 after the death of the charity’s ambassador Paul O’Grady. The TV and radio presenter became an ambassador for Battersea in 2012 after the success of ITV’s multi-award-winning For the Love of Dogs, 11 series of which were filmed at the home. After O’Grady’s death on Tuesday at the age of 67, the animal charity set up a “tribute fund”, which has raised more than £100,000.Peter Laurie, the charity’s chief executive, said: “We have been overwhelmed and touched by the countless letters, calls, emails and messages of support along with the generous donations made by kind members of the public this week. “We will be looking to find a suitably fitting way to remember the profound impact Paul had at Battersea and the rescue animal sector, something that will support the animals that Paul loved so much and that would make him proud.” Laurie previously told the PA Media news agency that O’Grady was a “genuine animal lover” and that his “real legacy” was how he showed the British public and an international audience how “lovable and incredible” rescue dogs are, inspiring people to rehome them. O’Grady was given a special recognition award at the 2018 National Television Awards for the impact For the Love of Dogs had on helping find homes for rescue animals nationwide. His contribution to animal welfare was also recognised with an RSPCA animal hero award.Eddie was joined by Boycie, a shih-tzu, in 2014; Conchita, a Maltese, in 2015; Arfur, a mongrel puppy, in 2017; Nancy, another mongrel puppy, in 2020; and Sausage, a wire-haired dachshund, in 2021. Last year O’Grady was joined by the queen consort in a one-off episode of For the Love of Dogs to mark 160 years of the Battersea home. In tribute to the late comedian, O’Grady’s final radio show will be rebroadcast on Easter Sunday, after originally airing on Boom Radio on Christmas Day last year. BBC One will air a past episode of the gameshow Blankety Blank on Saturday night in which O’Grady features as the acerbic, platinum wig-wearing drag alter ego Lily Savage.small favour to ask.

Former President Donald Trump’s indictment by a New York grand jury has thrust the nation into uncharted political, legal and historical waters, and raised a slew of questions about how the criminal case will unfold. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating Trump in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election.Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in the indictment, CNN has reported. It remains under seal. The former president is expected to be arraigned in Manhattan criminal court next Tuesday, but the timing of the appearance remains fluid. The investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office began when Trump was still in the White House and relates to a $130,000 payment made by Trump’s then-personal attorney Michael Cohen to Daniels in late October 2016, days before the presidential election, to silence her from going public about an alleged affair with Trump a decade earlier. Trump has denied the affair. Which charges are possibly at play? A target in the probe has been the payment made to Daniels and the Trump Organization’s reimbursement to Cohen. According to court filings when Cohen faced federal criminal charges, Trump Organization executives authorized payments to him totaling $420,000 to cover his original $130,000 payment and tax liabilities and reward him with a bonus. The company noted the reimbursements as a legal expense in its internal books. Trump has denied knowledge of the payment.Hush money payments aren’t illegal. Ahead of the indictment, prosecutors were weighing whether to charge Trump with falsifying the business records of the Trump Organization for how it reflected the reimbursement of the payment to Cohen, who said he advanced the money to Daniels. Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor in New York. Prosecutors were also weighing whether to charge Trump with falsifying business records in the first degree for allegedly falsifying a record with the intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal another crime, which in this case could be a violation of campaign finance laws. That is a Class E felony and carries a sentence of a minimum of one year and as much as four years. To prove the case, prosecutors would need to show Trump intended to commit a crime. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/31/politics/trump-indictment-what-to-know

Second killing in a day by Israeli forces in Jerusalem and West Bank Authorities say both deaths were in response to threats: a man grabbing a police officer’s gun at al-Aqsa mosque, and a car ramming near Beit Ummar Agence France-Presse Sun 2 Apr 2023 02.14 BST A man was killed by Israeli soldiers after a West Bank car ramming on Saturday, the army said, in an escalation threatening to end a relative lull during the holy month of Ramadan so far. The Palestinian’s death came less than 24 hours after an Arab Israeli allegedly snatched a gun from a police officer at Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque compound and fired it before being shot dead. The army said a “terrorist” had conducted a “ramming attack adjacent to the town of Beit Ummar”, with a spokesperson confirming to AFP the presumed assailant’s death. Magen David Adom medics said three men were taken to hospitals in Jerusalem with serious, moderate and light wounds.In a statement, the Palestinian Authority identified the dead man as Mohammed Baradyah, 23. Earlier on Saturday, police said they shot dead 26-year-old medical student Mohammed al-Asibi, a resident of the Bedouin village of Hura in southern Israel. According to police, Asibi had snatched a gun from an officer and fired it at other police officers close to the nearby Chain Gate, an access point to the al-Aqsa mosque compound in the Old City of Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem. Passers-by reported hearing gunfire, and an AFP photographer saw scores of police deployed in the Old City at around 1am. Asibi’s family disputed the police account of his death and demanded to see CCTV footage, Israeli media reported. Raam, the Israeli parliament’s Islamist party, rejected the police account of events and called for an investigation, citing claims from witnesses who said Asibi went to the aid of a woman who was in a scuffle with police. The umbrella organisation representing Israel’s Arab citizens announced a “general strike and day of mourning” on Sunday following the “execution” of Asibi. Police stood by their version of events and issued another statement on Saturday afternoon saying that the site of the attack was not covered by surveillance cameras. A video released by police showed what was described as Asibi milling around the compound alone. Another video showed people at the Chain Gate reacting in fright, presumably to the sound of gunshots. The police also rejected the notion a woman was involved, saying Asibi “arrived alone”, with officers suspicious of his presence at the compound after closing hours. The shooting occurred a few hours after tens of thousands of Palestinians had packed the al-Aqsa mosque compound for the second Friday prayers of Ramadan, which had passed off peacefully despite fears of bloodshed during the holy month. An upsurge in violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the beginning of the year has raised fears of bloodshed during Ramadan. Since the start of the year, conflict has claimed the lives of 88 Palestinians, including militants and civilians, and one Arab Israeli. Fourteen other Israelis, including members of the security forces and civilians, and one Ukrainian have been killed over the same period, according to an AFP tally based on official sources from both sides. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/02/second-killing-in-a-day-by-israeli-forces-in-jerusalem-and-west-bank

According to the country’s state-run news outlet Fana Broadcasting Corporate, she died in Jerusalem. Guèbrou had been living at the Ethiopian Monastery there for almost 40 years. As a child, she spent time as a prisoner of war and went on to study under the Polish violinist Alexander Kontorowicz in Cairo. Guèbrou released her first album in 1967, donating proceeds to those in need, and continued to use money made from her music to help raise aid for Ethiopian children orphaned by war. The Emahoy Tsege Mariam Music Foundation was also established to help children in need to study music. After her mother’s death in 1984, Guèbrou moved to the Ethiopian Monastery in Jerusalem. Her music has been used in the Oscar-nominated 2020 documentary Time and in Rebecca Hall’s Netflix drama Passing. Over her life, Guèbrou composed more than 150 original works of music for piano, organ, opera and chamber ensembles. Journalist and author Kate Molleson made a documentary about her for BBC Radio Four called The Honky Tonk Nun. She described Guèbrou as “a woman whose choices were determined by religious self-exile, maverick gender struggles and Ethiopia’s dramatic 20th-century political history – and who became a singular artist in the process”. Guèbrou once said to Molleson: “We can’t always choose what life brings. But we can choose how to respond.” This article was amended on 27 March 2023 to correct the name of the film The Honky Tonk Nun from “The Honky Tonk Man”. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/mar/27/emahoy-tsegue-maryam-guebrou-ethiopian-nun-and-pianist-dies-at-99

The Biden administration is “deeply concerned" over reports Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been detained in Russia on charges of espionage, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday. “Last night, White House and State Department Officials spoke with Mr. Gershkovich’s employer, the Wall Street Journal. The Administration has also been in contact with his family. Furthermore, the State Department has been in direct touch with the Russian government on this matter, including actively working to secure consular access to Mr. Gershkovich,” Jean-Pierre said in a statement. “The targeting of American citizens by the Russian government is unacceptable. We condemn the detention of Mr. Gershkovich in the strongest terms," she added. The press secretary also noted the State Department's advise for Americans to not travel to Russia, and added that if they are currently residing or traveling there, then they should "depart immediately."The United States government is “deeply concerned over Russia’s widely-reported detention of a U.S. citizen journalist,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement Thursday following the arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. Blinken said the department is in contact with the Wall Street Journal, according to the statement which did not directly name Gershkovich. “Whenever a U.S. citizen is detained abroad, we immediately seek consular access, and seek to provide all appropriate support," Blinken said. “In the strongest possible terms, we condemn the Kremlin’s continued attempts to intimidate, repress, and punish journalists and civil society voices,” the statement added. Gershkovich is the first journalist to be accused of spying by Russia since 1986, when reporter Nick Daniloff was detained on a similar charge while working for the US. https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-03-30-23/index.html

The House voted on Thursday to pass a sweeping energy policy bill put forward by Republicans that the GOP majority has highlighted as a key priority – even though it is expected to be dead on arrival in the Senate. Republicans have touted the bill as a plan to increase American energy production and grow the economy, while Democrats have denounced the measure, arguing it would set back efforts to transition to clean energy sources. The final vote was 225 to 204. House Republicans named the bill the “Lower Energy Costs Act” and gave it the designation of HR 1 to signal its importance as a major agenda item for the party. In announcing the bill, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, called it “our top priority.” “Every piece of legislation is assigned a number when it’s first introduced. Most of these numbers are chronological. But as speaker, I get to pick which bills are assigned the numbers one through ten as a way to show how important that legislation is.” But Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, has made clear he is opposed to the legislation and it is has no future in his chamber. In floor remarks earlier this month, Schumer said, “It’s not difficult to see that the Republican proposal is nothing more than a wish list for Big Oil masquerading as an energy package.” Schumer went on to say, “So let me be clear: the House Republicans’ so-called energy bill is dead on arrival in the Senate. Dead on arrival.” https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/30/politics/house-republican-energy-bill

In our series of letters from African journalists, Maher Mezahi writes about what looking for the branches of his family tree has taught him. Short presentational grey line On the outskirts of Skikda, an agreeable Mediterranean city along Algeria's eastern seaboard, my extended family owns a plot of land that sits on a slope. For my mother and her siblings, the land was an idyllic escape from their cramped downtown apartment that was synonymous with the mental grind of the school year. On long summer vacations in the countryside, they cautiously picked juicy prickly pears, carelessly built large bonfires and invented creative outdoor games to pass time with cousins. For my generation, visiting the land usually meant a day without a mobile phone signal and avoiding the orange-striped garden spiders that were the size of my palm. Nonetheless, all of us are unanimous in recognising the value of the land, mostly because of what sits on the slope's peak. A curving dirt path leads to the top, where our family cemetery sits in peace. Only the rustling of the fragrant leaves from an adjacent, majestic eucalyptus tree breaks the quiet. Every family trip to Skikda, without exception, is always punctuated by us visiting those who have passed on. A whole host of people who meant a lot to me now rest on the hilltop, including my maternal grandmother and grandfather. After taking a moment with them, I usually search for the resting place of my great-great-grandfather, Ahmed. Thick, green paint on the small boulder that serves as his tombstone indicates that he was born in 1845. It always hits me that this is the furthest I can dig back into my personal history. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-65026795

It's a better time to buy a graphics card right now thanks to crypto mining crashing and new cards from Nvidia and AMD coming out, there are great deals to be had on RTX 30-series and Radeon 6000-series cards. We're seeing a lot better value on AMD cards than on Nvidia-powered offerings, but you can still find some savings on RTX cards. We're highlighting all of the best graphics card deals below. Also, check out our list of best graphics cards and our GPU benchmark hierarchy to see evergreen performance data regardless of sales. AMD offers quite a bit more value for your money, and it has some excellent deals in the budget to midrange bracket. The RX 6600 dipped as low as $189 on Black Friday, and the cheapest we're seeing is now $209. The RX 6650 XT at $249 is still a great value as well if you can spend more. All of AMD's GPUs are selling below their original MSRPs these days, which they should be considering some of the GPUs are two years old. Of course, some of those MSRPs were inflated thanks to the GPU shortages last year. There's also the Radeon RX 7900-series to contend with, priced at $899 and $999 and potentially delivering up to 50% more performance than the RX 6950 XT. That's pushing prices down on the older GPUs, which is what we'd expect, whereas Nvidia prices have shot up to "leave room" for the 30-series. We wouldn't recommend paying much more than around $650 for an RX 6950 XT given the upcoming cardsLike Nvidia, there aren't really many deals as such on Intel's Arc GPUs. At least the Arc A770, A750, and A380 are all available for purchase right now, though the A770 16GB Limited Edition is back ordered (again). There's even an ASRock A750 priced below MSRP, so one of the four potential Intel GPUs qualifies as a sale. Performance from Arc GPUs continues to improve, with the A750 and A770 generally beating Nvidia's RTX 3060. It costs less than the Nvidia card as well, and delivers superior ray tracing performance compared to AMD's GPUs. But with rasterization performance roughly matching the RX 6650 XT, the Arc 700-series unfortunately still looks overpriced. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/best-graphics-card-deals-now

With Star Wars Jedi: Survivor(opens in new tab) a mere month away, its predecessor is basically being given away. Fallen Order might not be the greatest Star Wars game, but I'll admit I haven't had so much fun swinging a lightsaber since the old Jedi Knight days. And if you crave lightsaber shenanigans as much as I do, it's more than worth the low price it's available for on the EA App(opens in new tab) and Steam(opens in new tab). For £3.49/$3.99, a whopping 90% discount on the standard price, you can step into the shoes of Cal Kestis and flit around the galaxy murdering wildlife and stormtroopers to your heart's content. Cal sure does love getting into fights with exotic critters. Here's what we said about it in our Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review(opens in new tab): "I still enjoyed myself, though. It's a good game that's definitely worth playing, which happens to be exactly the description of the 70s bracket in our review policy. It's a fun, straightforward holiday adventure. Clip a lightsaber to your belt and jump in. Oh and remember, if you see a stormtrooper stood suspiciously close to a cliff edge, force-push is your ally." Unfortunately I spotted the sale a bit late and it ends today on Steam. The EA App sale doesn't have a countdown, though it may end at the same time.
