The ministry's stated goal is to make tourism a year-round industry in every part of the country.

The new uses give forgotten structures a practical role while keeping the memory of a turbulent past alive.
A divorce case in Izmir has ended with a ruling against a woman seeking damages. The court found that her constant cleaning deep into the night disturbed her husband and his family. That conduct was counted as fault on her part. Both spouses were judged equally at fault for the breakdown of the marriage. Her claims for material and moral compensation were rejected as a result. The case file also recorded that the man behaved badly toward his wife and child and pushed her out of the home. Even with those findings, the equal fault ruling blocked any payment to her. The verdict shows how Turkish family courts weigh each spouse's conduct before awarding damages.

A Cork man who has been using medication to manage symptoms of alcohol withdrawal has been told by a judge that he is 'replacing one thing with another'. The comment came during the man's appearance in court, where his circumstances and his attempts to cope with the withdrawal were set out. In the judge's view, swapping one substance for another does not put the man on a path to recovery. Alcohol withdrawal can be a serious medical risk, and doctors generally recommend supervised treatment rather than a do-it-yourself approach. The judge's remark touches on a concern that keeps surfacing in similar cases, that dependence shifts shape instead of ending. What the man does next, in terms of seeking proper support, will likely weigh heavily on how his situation develops.

One month after catastrophic floods in the Himalayan region, Nepal has appealed at the United Nations for help rebuilding the country. The form of that help matters as much as the amount. Kathmandu is asking for outright grants, not loans, so that recovery does not leave the country deeper in debt. The flood disaster of August 26 ranks among the deadliest events in Nepal's recent memory. The waters damaged roads and homes across wide areas, and rebuilding will strain a budget already under pressure. Nepal's representatives took the case to the UN stage to reach the international donor community directly. How much of the response arrives as grants rather than credit will shape the pace of reconstruction.

Trotzdem bleibt in vielen Kantonen und Gemeinden bis zum Schluss Spannung, da Stimmbeteiligung und Zustimmung regional stark schwanken können.
Turkey's main opposition CHP has gathered at a camp in Bolu Abant ahead of the new legislative year. The setting is quiet, but the agenda is anything but. Party figures are arguing behind the scenes over the court ruling that annulled its 2023 congress, a case that still hangs over the organisation. How and when to run the next convention is one open question. Another is the candidacy of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, whose future plans remain a source of friction inside the party. Members are also debating whether those who left to join the New Party might one day return to the fold. Officials hope the retreat will leave the party standing together before parliament reconvenes.

These protests have drawn the attention of the political elite. The movement has spread across various regions of the country. It reflects a broader societal frustration with academic structures.

The groups believe external pressure is necessary to protect the will of the voters. They are concerned about the integrity of the democratic process.

This move reflects deep mistrust in the current electoral system.

Cambodia has set up a working group to receive Afghan refugees coming from Qatar for temporary stays, in response to a request from the United States. The decision came from the head of government and was set out in a directive signed by the Prime Minister. Under the plan, Afghans currently gathered in Qatar will be brought to Cambodia and permitted to remain for an interim period. The new body is tasked with the practical side of the arrangement, from processing arrivals to managing their reception. Washington has been looking for partner countries willing to host Afghans while longer-term destinations are sorted out. Taking part pulls Cambodia into that effort and deepens its dealings with the Americans. The scale of the intake and the timetable for arrivals are questions the group now has to settle.
Harry Kane is refusing to let the scoreline colour his view of the match. England's captain said his side went toe to toe with world champions Spain for long stretches of a thrilling Wembley contest, calling it one of their best performances in years.

Kirikee Hall in the Wicklow hills has reopened after a restoration project pulled one of the area's oldest community buildings back from the brink. The hall has stood for 145 years and was a gathering place for generations of locals, hosting dances and community meetings. Years of wear and weather eventually caught up with the structure, prompting locals to organise a repair drive rather than lose it. Fundraising and volunteer labour carried much of the work, with crews fixing the old fabric while trying to keep the building's character intact. Residents turned out for the reopening to see the restored space and mark its return to use. Older attendees recalled gatherings there going back decades, a sign of how central the hall has been to rural life in the Glen of Imaal area. Organisers expect a fresh round of bookings now that the doors are open again, and local groups are being invited to come forward.
Actor Zairi Aziz is avoiding the trend of creating a flashy public persona. He prefers to stay true to himself rather than crafting a specific identity to gain fame.
Defense Secretary Gilberto 'Gibo' Teodoro Jr. has warned that the next Philippine administration could slow the country's efforts in the West Philippine Sea. He pointed to the 2028 elections as the moment a change in leadership might alter course. Teodoro was asked whether the Philippines risked losing the gains it has built up at sea, and his answer leaned toward caution. He maintained, at the same time, that the country keeps strengthening its defenses while the current term runs. Tensions in the West Philippine Sea, the stretch of the South China Sea that Manila claims, have grown sharper in recent years. Sustaining patrols and alliances takes years of steady policy, which is why continuity matters so much to defense planners. His warning puts the election on notice as a test of whether that push continues or stalls. Whatever happens politically, the work at sea carries on for now.
Kuwaiti travellers spent close to a billion dinars abroad this summer, even as the region dealt with tensions. The total came through 42.7 million purchase and withdrawal transactions. Outbound spending averaged about 10.43 million dinars per day across the period. Electronic payments dominated the figures, with point-of-sale purchases and foreign website orders adding up to 885.3 million dinars. Cash taken out abroad amounted to 73.8 million dinars, a minor slice of the whole. The numbers were reported by Times Kuwait. Even with the rocky regional backdrop, the appetite for foreign travel appears to have held firm.

Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has summed up his club's summer by calling it a very tough stretch of months. The Dutch player said the period was 'very tough regarding everything', a phrase that captures the mood around Anfield. The close season brought heavy squad turnover, with players both arriving and leaving in large numbers. Painful moments away from the pitch also left their mark on the dressing room during that spell. Gakpo suggested the combination weighed on everyone even as the work on the training ground carried on. His admission comes as Liverpool manage expectations for the new campaign. The attacker indicated his focus lies with the season ahead rather than the summer gone. His comment gives a hint of the atmosphere at the club in recent weeks.
V Sloveniji se kupci vedno znova sprašujejo, ali zavarovalnice za nove avte kitajskih znamk zaračunavajo višje premije kot za tradicionalne modele. Vprašanje sega tako na osnovno zavarovanje odgovornosti kot na kasko. Domače zavarovalnice so odgovorile in pojasnile, kdaj prihaja do razlik med posameznimi znamkami. Pri izračunu premije si pomagajo zlasti s statistiko škod in stroški rezervnih delov. Pri povsem novih znamkah takih podatkov pogosto še ni, zato se lahko zgodi, da je začasna premija višja kot pri proizvajalcu z dolgo zgodovino. Razlika v ceni sicer ni samodejni znak slabše obravnave, temveč odraz dejavnikov, ki jih bo čas pojasnil. Zavarovanci pa morajo pred zavarovanjem novega avta preveriti, kaj vpliva na premijo, in primerjati ponudbe različnih zavarovalnic.
First Vice President of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva has shared a social media post dedicated to 27 September, observed in the country as Remembrance Day. The post, illustrated with photographs, honours the memory of those who gave their lives in the 2020 Karabakh war. Remembrance Day has been marked on this date each year since it was established after the fighting ended. The conflict in autumn 2020 lasted 44 days and concluded with a trilateral statement signed by Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia. Thousands of Azerbaijani soldiers lost their lives over those weeks. Their memory has since become a central part of the country's public life, with officials and citizens posting tributes on the date. Aliyeva's message fits that annual pattern of commemoration across the leadership. The day once again turned attention to the families of the fallen and the losses they carry.

Na putu do svjetskog trona Hrvaticu nije zaustavila ni srčana mana, usprkos tome što liječnici prvotno nisu podupirali bavljenje sportom.

A debate has opened in Bosnia over how Bosniak identity has reshaped the practice of Islam, and one piece of commentary argues that Sarajevo never became a Tehran on the Miljacka. The article accepts that Bosniak society has grown visibly more religious and more conservative in recent years. Practice, dress and public customs connected to faith have become more pronounced. Still, the author insists that political Islam stayed at the margin of public life. In this reading, efforts to steer the state through religion never gained real traction in Sarajevo. Islam there is described as a marker of national belonging rather than a blueprint for government. Critics of the community's leadership see the matter differently and point to religious influence over public institutions. The piece frames what happened as the nationalization of a faith tradition that never translated into political power.
Czech goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček learned he would start against Croatia only two hours before kickoff. He admitted being kept waiting like that is unusual but argued the suspense may have helped, because every player stayed sharp, including the substitutes who came off the bench.

Epiphany Warriors also held their leading position in their group, leaving both teams well placed going into the last round of group games.
Ardee Golf Club returned from Westmanstown with two All-Ireland titles to its name. The club doubled up on finals day, a result few Irish clubs ever manage in a single season. Both victories came at the Westmanstown venue, where teams from around the country had traveled for the closing stages of the national competitions. The double points to depth in Ardee's playing ranks, since winning two separate championships needs more than one strong panel. The report gave no details on opponents, scores, or how the final rounds played out. Whatever the margins were, the club's honours board now carries two new national prizes.
