In Baghdad, Guterres affirms UN will never forget staff killed in Canal Hotel attack

António Guterres was speaking during a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial in Baghdad to honour the victims of the 19 August 2003 Canal Hotel bombing – the worst terrorist attack in UN history.

Twenty-two people were killed, including the then UN Special Representative for Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello.  More than 100 others were injured, and several survivors attended the ceremony.

Families still mourning

Mr. Guterres told the audience that “22 years is a long time, but we will never forget the colleagues who were killed that day in the bombing at the Canal Hotel.”

These staff members “were sons, daughters, mothers, fathers and friends who are, to this day, mourned by those they knew and loved,” he said.

“We will always remember their leader, Sergio Vieira de Mello, who was also killed in the attack. We will stand with the survivors whose lives were changed forever,” he added.

“And we will remember the courageous colleagues and others who rushed to help on that terrible day, and in the days and weeks after — showing us the very best of the humanitarian spirit.”

A tribute and reminder

Mr. Guterres said the memorial stands as a tribute to their lives and their contributions to the people of Iraq.  It also serves as a reminder of how far the country has come since 2003.

He noted that the women and men of the United Nations have worked tirelessly together with the brave and resilient people of Iraq to support their quest for stability, development and peace.

He stressed that above all, the memorial is “a clear reminder of the vital work that our organization does around the world — and the dangers our people face in carrying out that work.”

Remembering humanitarians worldwide

Five years after the attack the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 19 August as World Humanitarian…

Seneca Has No Trouble Against Lenape

Suggested Video

Seneca lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Lenape, but it’s fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Thursday’s contest. The Golden Eagles were the clear victors by a 17-11 margin over the Indians on Thursday. This was payback for the Golden Eagles, who suffered a 4-2 defeat the last time these two teams met.

Emily Buddendorf

05/15/25 @ Lenape 5
05/07/25 @ Winslow Township 4
04/26/24 vs Paul VI 4
05/12/25 vs Bishop Eustace Prep 3
04/28/25 vs Cherry Hill West 3

Seneca got a massive performance out of Emily Buddendorf, who went 5-for-6 with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Those five hits gave Buddendorf a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Madison Heller, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base.

They weren’t the only ones making solid contact: Seneca kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they’ve now got at least nine hits in three consecutive games.

Seneca has been performing well recently as they’ve won four of their last five matches. That’s provided a nice bump to their 6-10 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.8 runs over those games. As for Lenape, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-9.

Coincidentally, Seneca and Lenape will both be playing Paul VI the next time they take the field. The Indians will head out to face the Eagles at 3:45 p.m. on Friday, while the Golden Eagles will host them on Monday.

AI talking trees feature at Chelsea Flower Show

Talking trees powered by AI, drought-resistant crops and sweet potatoes sprouting among flowers — the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show is facing the future with a focus on innovation and climate-change adaptation.

Over five days starting Tuesday, more than 140,000 visitors are expected to view what the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) bills as “the pinnacle of horticultural excellence”.

There are stunning gardens, 30 competing for top awards, and more than 400 exhibitors showcasing their gardening knowledge and carefully-cultivated plants to the public and champagne-sipping VIPs.

King Charles III was to visit Monday with Queen Camilla, with an eye on the show’s first ever dog garden, designed by celebrity gardener Monty Don.

The head of state was also expected to visit the Wildlife Trusts’ British Rainforests garden where the main attraction is a 50-year-old fern that once thrived in the Great Park of Windsor.

The garden was “inspired by the enchanted forests of Arthurian legend” and it “rekindles the wild and wet woodlands that once swathed vast landscapes along the west coast”.

– Intelligent Garden –

In the Intelligent Garden, plant-lovers can truly talk to the trees thanks to artificial intelligence.

Pioneering AI sensors called Treetalk have been installed to give updates on the trees’ needs in urban environments, whether they are under stress and how to care for them.

“Urban trees filter air pollution, cool the air, support wildlife, and boost community wellbeing. Yet, they face immense challenges,” the RHS said about the garden designed by Tom Massey and architect Je Ahn.

About 50 percent of urban trees do not survive beyond 10 years and up to 30 percent die in their first year, it added.

“The use of AI is not going to replace a human being, our intuition and our labour. It’s still the core and heart of this garden,” said Je Ahn.

But data could give “a clearer picture of…

The WNBA’s  Connecticut Sun Franchise Could  Be For Sale

Uncasville arebna

Has the WNBA outgrown the Uncasville market?

The future of Connecticut’s only big league franchise, the Women’s National Basketball Association’s Connecticut Sun is in question. The ownership of the franchise, the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, according to Sportico, has hired the investment bank Allen and Company to explore the potential sale of the team. The Connecticut Sun franchise entered the WNBA in 2003 when the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority purchased the team for $10 million. Sportico has placed an $80 million value on the franchise. The cost of purchasing a WNBA team has skyrocketed in the past few years.

The Connecticut Sun franchise plays its games at an arena on the Mohegan Sun grounds which seats around 9,300 people. The arena books high end concerts and people such as Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Jay Z, Keith Urban, Bon Jovi and Kenny Chesney have performed at the venue. The arena has also hosted championship boxing bouts as well as wrestling and MMA matches. But the venue is in Uncasville, Connecticut which is a town of around 18,000 people. Uncasville has no big population markets nearby. Hartford is 45 miles northwest. Providence, Rhode Island is 60 miles east. Uncasville is about 130 miles northeast of New York and Boston is about 110 miles to the northeast. There is no corporate support or real TV market for the franchise. Just because there is a report that the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority has hired an investment bank to possibly investigate a sale doesn’t mean that the team will be sold or possibly relocated. But if the franchise does get onto the market, there would be potential buyers from around the…

Bonnie Lee King – Morning Star Publications

Bonny Lee King of Georgetown left this world peacefully on Sunday, May 4 surrounded by her loving family at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md.

Bonny was born on Oct. 17, 1952, at Nanticoke Hospital in Seaford to Catherine and Reese King. She was the second of four daughters. The family always joked that she was born at Nanticoke and never left, thanks to her lengthy and dedicated career at the hospital.

A graduate of Laurel High School, Bonny began her healthcare journey at the Stockley Center in Georgetown and the Delaware State Hospital in Wilmington. She went on to earn her RN at Delaware Technical Community College and her BSN at Wilmington University.

Bonny’s nursing career began at Nanticoke Hospital in 1980, where she worked until her retirement in 2018 as the trauma coordinator. Throughout her career, coworkers admired her compassion, clinical excellence, quick wit, and infectious laughter. In addition to her role as Trauma Coordinator, she led the “Safe Kids” program, was one of the founders of the Delaware Burn Camp and was a dedicated supporter of The Gift of Life Program.

The light of her life, her son Justin Pobst, brought her joy and laughter every day. They never parted without sharing the words, “I love you more!”

In 2015, Bonny married the love of her life, Bert Crowder, after a long and exciting courtship. They shared many loving years together—traveling the country in their RV, escaping to a hidden cabin in the mountains of North Carolina with their dog Lucy, and creating countless memories with family. One of her greatest joys was being “Nana” to her grandchildren Caroline, Mason, and Waylon.

Bonny always said, “Life is better with sisters”—and she had three: her “favorite sister,” Nancy (husband Joe Parker); her “middle sister,” Donna (partner Gary Lord); and her “baby sister,” Jackie King…

Arab Leaders Condemn Gaza Genocide, Urge Action at Baghdad Summit

By Palestine Chronicle Staff  

Arab League summit urges immediate halt to Israeli attacks, as Spain pushes for UN resolution and Guterres demands humanitarian access.

The 34th Arab League Summit opened in Baghdad on Saturday amid growing regional turmoil and urgent calls to end the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

The summit, held under the theme “Dialogue, Solidarity, and Development”, convenes as the situation in Gaza reaches what Iraq’s Prime Minister described as an “unprecedented stage of genocide,” with continued Israeli bombardment, mass displacement, and a worsening humanitarian catastrophe.

Attending the summit are several Arab heads of state and senior officials, including the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. 

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and UN Secretary-General António Guterres were also present, underscoring the international dimension of the crisis.

Focus on Gaza

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who assumed the rotating presidency of the Arab Summit, used his opening remarks to denounce the Israeli campaign in Gaza, calling for serious and united Arab action to halt the genocide and open humanitarian corridors.

“The war in Gaza has reached a horrifying and unprecedented stage,” al-Sudani said, adding that Arab countries must act collectively to stop the bloodshed and ensure the delivery of aid.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi echoed these concerns, stating that Palestinians are being subjected to systematic efforts aimed at erasing…
