US announces withdrawal from UN cultural body Unesco
US announces withdrawal from UN cultural body Unesco Donald Trump is not the first American president to pull the United States out of the Paris-based UN agency. Photo: Reuters The United States on Tuesday announced it has left Unesco, saying the UN cultural and education agency, known for establishing world heritage sites, is biased against Israel and promotes "divisive" causes. "Continued involvement in Unesco is not in the national interest of the United States," State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said. The US exit was expected under President Donald Trump, who also ordered withdrawal from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation in 2017 during his first term. His successor Joe Biden then re-established US membership. Bruce described Unesco as working "to advance divisive social and cultural causes" and being overly focused on UN sustainability goals, which she described as a "globalist, ideological agenda". She also highlighted what she said was the body's anti-Israeli position in admitting Palestine as a state. "Unesco's decision to admit the 'State of Palestine' as a member state is highly problematic, contrary to US policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-Israel rhetoric within the organisation," Bruce said. The UN organisation describes its mission as promoting education, scientific cooperation and cultural understanding. It oversees a list of heritage sites aimed at preserving unique environmental and architectural gems, ranging from the Great Barrier Reef off Australia and the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Athens Acropolis and Pyramids of Egypt. Trump was not the first to pull the US out of Unesco. President Ronald Reagan also ended US membership in the 1980s, saying the agency was corrupt and pro-Soviet. The US re-entered under the presidency of George W Bush. (AFP)

Yellow warning for rain and thunderstorms in Glasgow
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) has warned of significant impacts from surface water and small watercourses due to sustained heavy rainfall over the weekend. These impacts may include localised flooding affecting parts of the community and widespread disruption to travel and transport networks. READ MORE: Check out these six amazing snaps as street performers take to Glasgow's streets Residents are being urged to remain vigilant. SEPA has reminded the public that it is their responsibility to take action to help protect themselves and their property in the event of flooding. The warning covers Glasgow, North and South Lanarkshire, and East Dunbartonshire. Weather conditions are expected to worsen this afternoon as heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms move in from the south, becoming persistent in some areas. READ MORE: Why this 'breathtaking' and 'otherworldly' beach is named the best in Scotland Many places across the region are forecast to receive between 20 and 30 millimetres of rain, though some areas could experience as much as 50 to 75 millimetres in just a few hours. The intense rainfall raises the risk of flash flooding, particularly in built-up or low-lying locations. Looking ahead to Monday, July 21, the threat of thunderstorms continues across much of the UK, including Glasgow. The Met Office has extended its yellow warning into the new week, as unsettled conditions are expected to persist. READ MORE: The 'extraordinary' Neolithic village in Scotland that's older than the Pyramids In a statement, SEPA confirmed that flooding from surface water and small watercourses is possible across the Scottish mainland from yesterday morning until around midday on Sunday. Localised flooding of properties, roads and travel disruption is considered likely. The agency also highlighted the possibility of further localised flooding from Sunday afternoon into Monday morning, particularly in southern and central areas extending as far north as the Trossachs and North Argyll. Travellers and residents are advised to keep up to date with the latest forecasts and take appropriate precautions throughout the weekend.
