| Prince Harry announces next Invictus Games Posted: 04 Jun 2018 09:24 AM PDT  The Invictus Games will be held in the Netherlands in 2020, the Duke of Sussex has announced, as organisers say they feel a moral duty to keep it running. The Duke of Sussex said the games, for sick and wounded servicemen and women, will be held at The Hague, before continuing every two years for the foreseeable future. The Duke and Duchess are now likely to make a trip to the Netherlands for an official launch this summer, before travelling to Sydney for the next games in October. Invictus, founded by Prince Harry, is particularly close to the couple's heart, and is where they chose to make their romance public. In Toronto last year, Meghan Markle appeared hand-in-hand with the Prince for the first time to watch the wheelchair tennis, as well as attending the opening and closing ceremonies. Prince Harry and Meghan watch the wheelchair tennis in Toronto Credit: Samir Hussein Dominic Reid, chief executive of the Invictus Games Foundation, said it was during those games that organisers realised the competition must continue beyond its original plans, saying it would now be held every two years for the "foreseeable future". He told the Telegraph that new competitors are still coming forward, some who have endured physical injury or mental health problems for years but only now feel able to join in. "When we started in London, it was a one-off event meeting immediate need," he said. "What we've see is the appetite and the positive effect on people's lives, and a real demand for the games to continue. UK team trials for the Invictus Games Sydney, held in Bath Credit: AFP "We very much feel that in creating the games we've lit a beacon and we have a moral responsibility to keep that beacon lit. To give people the opportunities and something to aim for." The Duke said: "I am delighted to announce that the Hague is taking up the challenge of hosting the fifth Invictus Games in 2020. "The city will soon become the motivation for hundreds of servicemen and women using the Invictus Games to inspire their recovery from physical and mental injuries. Prince Harry congratulates Mark Ormrod in Toronto Credit: Karwai Tang "The Netherlands has supported the Games from the very beginning, and I know that everyone there will fully get behind and support then soldiers and veterans who have served their countries so bravely." The Hague was selected following a competitive international tender process, with Sir Keith Mills, the Invictus Games Foundation chairman, noting "the bid exemplified the Invictus spirit". He added: "Post-War, the Hague has undergone its own process of rebuilding and rehabilitation, a theme many of those competing can intimately relate to."

| California city fights poverty with guaranteed income Posted: 04 Jun 2018 03:11 AM PDT  By Jane Ross STOCKTON, Calif. (Reuters) - Michael Tubbs, the 27-year-old mayor of Stockton, California, has a radical plan to combat poverty in his cash-strapped city: a "no strings" guaranteed basic income of $500 a month for its residents. Starting in early 2019, Tubbs plans to provide the monthly stipend to a select group of residents as part of a privately funded 18-month experiment to assess how people use the money. "And then, maybe, in two or three years, we can have a much more informed discussion about the social safety net, the income floor people deserve and the best way to do it because we'll have more data and research," Tubbs told Reuters.

| A US Senator tried to visit a building where the government keeps immigrant children. He wasn't allowed in Posted: 04 Jun 2018 01:58 PM PDT  When a US senator tried to visit a government shelter for migrant children, his trip ended not with a tour of the facility, but with a visit from police. Senator Jeff Merkley attempted to visit a shelter in Brownsville, Texas this week, in the wake of a new Trump administration policy encouraging the separation of immigrant children from their parents at the border. The shelter in question – which Mr Merkley said was housing children "torn away from their parents" – refused to arrange a tour for him when he called ahead.

| Kirstie Allsopp defends flying business class while leaving her children in economy Posted: 04 Jun 2018 05:23 AM PDT  Television presenter Kirstie Allsopp has defended her decision to sit her children in economy when she and her husband fly in more expensive seats. After criticism, she said she thinks letting children on social media is more dangerous than leaving them alone in economy on a plane. The Location, Location, Location star had told the Sun that upgrading her childrens' seats would be an "absurd waste of money" and that sitting in Club level should be something that people work for. Ms Allsopp explained: "Obviously this wasn't the case when they were little but now they are big enough to sit separately, they do. "Club Class should be a huge treat you've worked hard for. If kids get used to it, what do they have to work towards? It seems like an absurd waste of money and very spoiling. I suspect Gordon Ramsay and I can't be the only ones to think this." A: I'm not in club and don't drink champagne B: I have frequently been complimented by cabin crew on the behaviour of my boys C: I always introduce myself to the cabin crew concerned and say if there are any problems to alert me immediately. Don't generalise. https://t.co/SnbdErK9tq— Kirstie Mary Allsopp (@KirstieMAllsopp) June 3, 2018 She and her partner Ben Andersen occasionally upgrade to more expensive seats, she said, while her children Bay, 12, and Oscar, 10, sit in economy. Furious critics responded, with one tweeting: "As an ex crew member I hated it when parents did this. "One child spilt drink all over herself and the parents left us crew to sort it out...unfair on the crew or other pax who ended up as babysitters...while parents quaffed champagne in Club." Utter rubbish, they don't need to be "looked after" they're sitting on a plane watching movies! That's not parenting it's fussing. https://t.co/WzHyQksrAt— Kirstie Mary Allsopp (@KirstieMAllsopp) June 4, 2018 Another wrote: "Until they are adult, it's the parents job to PARENT not the Cabin Crew! Those children need looking after on a flight. I'd never have left mine." She responded, telling her Twitter followers: "People parent differently, I think letting 10 year olds have social media accounts is far more risky than anything that could happen on a plane, and the biggest dangers come from adolescent mental health issues. #horsesforcourses." Gordon Ramsay agrees, and said earlier this year: "They get entertainment on their iPads. I don't want them sat there with a 10-course f---ing menu with champagne. It is my wife and I's choice to keep them real."

| Trump says has power to pardon himself; critics disagree Posted: 04 Jun 2018 10:03 AM PDT  By Karen Freifeld NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he had committed no wrongdoing but has the "absolute" power to pardon himself, echoing sweeping arguments put forth by his lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Sunday. The remarks come as U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election and possible illegal obstruction of that probe by the president has entered its second year. Giuliani told Reuters on Sunday the president cannot be indicted or subpoenaed and has the power to pardon himself, leaving impeachment by the U.S. Congress likely the remedy for presidential misconduct.

| Italy will no longer be 'Europe's refugee camp', vows new government Posted: 04 Jun 2018 10:58 AM PDT  By Gavin Jones ROME (Reuters) - Italy will no longer be "Europe's refugee camp", newly installed interior minister Matteo Salvini said on Monday as he promised tough action to reduce migrant arrivals and send back those who have already come. Salvini, head of the right-wing League and a deputy prime minister in the eurosceptic coalition, has made curbing immigration a clarion call of his party whose popularity is rising fast in opinion polls. Two days after the government was sworn in on Friday, Salvini headed for Sicily, the main port of call for more than 600,000 migrants who have arrived on Italy's shores from north Africa since 2014.
