Maronite community in Cyprus fights to save its Sanna language as only 900 speakers remain
Only about 900 people in the world speak Cypriot Maronite Arabic. The offshoot of Syrian Arabic had been passed on orally over the centuries but now is at risk of extinction, according to the Council of Europe's minority language experts. But the Maronite community in Cyprus is fighting back with help from the Cypriot government and the European Union. (AP video Petros Karadjias, produced by Menelaos Hadjicostis and Theodora Tongas)

Israel can see what Europe can't: the Devil
'The cleverest ruse of the Devil,' wrote Baudelaire in 1864, 'is to persuade you he does not exist.' More than 160 years later, great swathes of Leftists, Israelophobes and Western leaders appear to have fallen under this spell when it comes to the regime in Tehran. Sir Keir Starmer delivered the usual message of pacifism on behalf of Britain. It matched that of Ursula von der Leyen and the other centrist fundamentalist European leaders, all of whom are equally addicted to the numbing opium of appeasement. Instead of seeing a resolve for victory, we were subjected to repeated demands for 'de-escalation' and 'diplomacy'. Having so loudly decried the Iranian threat in recent months, even placing it in the highest category of the new foreign influence register, the Prime Minister seemed unable to connect the synapses. By the time Israel was driven to attack, the international community had not imposed snapback sanctions on Iran. Britain even disgraced itself by refusing to help with Israel's defence. The Ayatollah could be launching nuclear bombs at all the major cities of the West in a sulphurous haze, and David Lammy would still extol the virtues of jaw-jaw. In central Tehran, there is a clock counting down to September 9, 2040, the date of Israel's destruction as prophesied by the Ayatollah. The regime has enriched uranium to a level only required for military uses. When Khamenei gives speeches, the crowd chants: 'Death to America! Death to England! Death to the hypocrites and the infidels! Death to Israel!' Until yesterday, Iran's scientists could produce 15 nukes within days. Khamenei's pet theology lusts after the apocalypse. Triggered by the obliteration of Israel, this cataclysm will supposedly herald the arrival of a mythical figure called the 'Mahdi' to lead the forces of Shia Islam to global victory. These are the convictions that drive actual Iranian foreign policy. De-escalation and diplomacy are laughable, yet this is what Israel has suffered since the Obama era. When Jerusalem was forced to act, you'd have thought the West would rally. But no. Israel was the bad guy. We have seen this movie before. When Jerusalem destroyed Saddam Hussein's nuclear programme in 1981, the world was appalled. 'A clear violation of… the norms of international conduct,' the United Nations huffed. Two decades later, the White House quietly acknowledged that the Jews had done everybody a favour. We may see a similar change of heart by 2045, but there will be much danger before then. Starmer and the Europeans don't realise how outdated they sound in this new, perilous world. As Vasily Grossman put it in Life and Fate: 'Only yesterday you were sure of yourself, strong and cheerful, a son of the time. But now another time has come – and you don't even know it.' Their era has passed. This is Israel's century. While dogs of war bark globally and instability grips America, the countries that will thrive will be those with conviction in their values and the courage and resilience to defend them. 'The world will never pity slaughtered Jews,' observed Menachem Begin. 'The world may not necessarily like the fighting Jew, but the world will have to take account of him.' With Russia and China sharpening their knives, we must not only take account of the fighting Jew but also follow his lead. Just look at Ukraine. First, however, we must accept what our grandparents learned the hard way. The Devil exists. It makes no sense to appease him. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Zelenskiy Says ‘American Decisiveness' Key to Pressuring Putin
Ukraine needs clarity from the US about steps to put pressure on Russia toward a ceasefire, since European support will also depend on it, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said ahead of the G7 meeting in Canada, where he hopes to meet President Donald Trump. 'I very much want Trump to take strong steps,' Zelenskiy told reporters in Kyiv late Friday. 'It's important for us that Trump stops Putin with sanctions and other steps. This will give a signal to all of Europe, everyone will unite, and we will have this chance.'

Dollar Ructions Lay Groundwork for a ‘Global Euro Moment'
When the euro was born more than a quarter century ago, it arrived with much fanfare. Even the US Federal Reserve chair of the time, Alan Greenspan, was excited. 'To the extent the euro becomes a far more formidable force in the world economy, it's a benefit to everybody, especially the US,' he said in January 2000. Today, while undoubtedly the second-most important reserve currency in the world, the euro holds a shadow of the dollar's influence. European economic policymakers, with plenty of intra-region challenges and crises to keep them busy, had little reason to imagine the euro's global role might do anything other than fade. Until Donald Trump's White House return, that is.
