'A clash of cultures': Irish opinion split over Travellers' elaborate headstones
Community representatives say a 'good sendoff' is a religious necessity, but others say it introduces a competitive element.
Members of the Traveller community have in recent years erected large, elaborate headstones that, depending on perspective, are moving testaments to grief and loss or garish spectacles of one-upmanship.

'Like the flip of a switch, it’s gone': has the ecosystem of the UK's largest lake collapsed?
Lough Neagh's flies were seen as a nuisance. Now their sudden disappearance is a startling omen for a lake that supplies 40% of Northern Ireland's water.
"Lough Neagh fly" can refer to various non-biting midges, but these crucial insects support fish and wildfowl that are endemic to the lough system, as well as frogs and predatory insects. The loss of these keystone species, alongside sharp reductions of others, the spread of invasive species like zebra mussels, and a long-term deterioration in water quality, indicates deep trouble across the lough's entire ecology.

An obscure island grave: fate of deadly EU migration route’s youngest victim
Case of Alhassane Bangoura in Lanzarote highlights Europe-wide failure as authorities struggle to cope with scale of deaths.
Stretching less than a metre in length and covered in the ochre-coloured soil that dots the Canary island of Lanzarote, large stones encircle the tiny mound. There is no tombstone or plaque; nothing official to signal that this is the final resting site of the infant believed to be the youngest victim of one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
Instead, two bouquets of plastic daisies adorn the grave, along with a granite bowl engraved with his name, Alhassane Bangoura, hinting at the impact his story had on many across the island. His mother, originally from Guinea, was among three pregnant women who joined 40 others in an inflatable raft that left Morocco in early January 2020. After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
So far this year, a record 35,410 migrants and refugees have arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands - a 135% increase over last year. More than 11,000 of them landed at the tiny island of El Hierro, home to just 9,000 people.
The surge in those risking the perilous route has transformed the archipelago into a microcosm of the wider strain playing out across the EU as authorities struggle to deal with the bodies of those that die on their way.

An obscure island grave: fate of deadly EU migration route’s youngest victim
Case of Alhassane Bangoura in Lanzarote highlights Europe-wide failure as authorities struggle to cope with scale of deaths.
Stretching less than a metre in length and covered in the ochre-coloured soil that dots the Canary island of Lanzarote, large stones encircle the tiny mound. There is no tombstone or plaque; nothing official to signal that this is the final resting site of the infant believed to be the youngest victim of one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
Instead, two bouquets of plastic daisies adorn the grave, along with a granite bowl engraved with his name, Alhassane Bangoura, hinting at the impact his story had on many across the island. His mother, originally from Guinea, was among three pregnant women who joined 40 others in an inflatable raft that left Morocco in early January 2020. After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
So far this year, a record 35,410 migrants and refugees have arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands - a 135% increase over last year. More than 11,000 of them landed at the tiny island of El Hierro, home to just 9,000 people.

'I came to apologise': Armenian relatives visit soldiers' graves after ceasefire deal
Anger and grief palpable among families who believe soldiers died in lost war for Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Yerablur military cemetery grows with each round of conflict over the territories in Karabakh, which is populated by ethnic Armenians, many of whom refer to it as Artsakh. The graves go back to the first war, from 1988-94, then through decades of border clashes and up to the present.

Call for memorial for British Jews whose remains were moved to mass grave in 1970s
Remains were moved from a cemetery in Mile End, east London, after it was bought by the forerunner of Queen Mary University London in 1973.
The remains of thousands of British Jews including Benjamin Disraeli's grandfather and the prizefighter Daniel Mendoza were reburied in unmarked mass graves to make way for a new university campus.
Half a century later, the Jewish organisation responsible for the graves has for the first time publicly acknowledged that the reburial contravened Jewish law and that there is no lasting memorial to the dead.
The removal of the human remains from what is now the campus of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in east London took place in 1973 after the site was acquired for the institution’s expansion.
The bones of more than 7,000 Jewish people who died mainly in the 18th and 19th centuries were placed in four mass graves at the new burial site near Brentwood, Essex, with no stones marking the names of the deceased.
The remains are the responsibility of the S&P Sephardi Community, originally the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Community of London, which sold its Nuevo cemetery in Mile End to Queen Mary College, the forerunner of QMUL.

Call for memorial for British Jews whose remains were moved to mass grave in 1970s
Remains were moved from a cemetery in Mile End, east London, after it was bought by the forerunner of Queen Mary University London in 1973.
The remains of thousands of British Jews including Benjamin Disraeli's grandfather and the prizefighter Daniel Mendoza were reburied in unmarked mass graves to make way for a new university campus.
Half a century later, the Jewish organisation responsible for the graves has for the first time publicly acknowledged that the reburial contravened Jewish law and that there is no lasting memorial to the dead.
The removal of the human remains from what is now the campus of Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in east London took place in 1973 after the site was acquired for the institution’s expansion.
The bones of more than 7,000 Jewish people who died mainly in the 18th and 19th centuries were placed in four mass graves at the new burial site near Brentwood, Essex, with no stones marking the names of the deceased.
The remains are the responsibility of the S&P Sephardi Community, originally the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Community of London, which sold its Nuevo cemetery in Mile End to Queen Mary College, the forerunner of QMUL.
