Hantaivíreas: saineolaithe dóchasach nach mbeidh ráig eile ann. The World Health Organization has confirmed that nine people have the virus and two others are showing symptoms of the disease. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte go bhfuil an hantaivíreas ar naonúr agus go bhfuil siomptóim an ghalair ar bheirt eile. It is understood that all eleven of these cases are related to the cruise ship Hondius which had an outbreak of the disease. Tuigtear go mbaineann gach aon cheann den aon chás déag sin leis an long chrúsála an Hondius a raibh ráig den ghalar uirthi. The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that unfortunately this is not the end of the story and that it is likely that more passengers from that ship will become ill in the coming days. Ceannaire na hEagraíochta Domhanda Sláinte, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, dúirt sé nach é sin deireadh an scéil ar an drochuair agus gurb é is dóichí go n-éireoidh tuilleadh paisinéirí ón long sin tinn sna laethanta amach romhainn. On the contrary, he said, there is currently no likelihood of an outbreak of the disease anywhere else. Os a choinne sin, arsa sé, níl aon chosúlacht ar an scéal faoi láthair go mbeidh ráig den ghalar in aon áit eile. On the other hand, however, he said, another outbreak cannot be ruled out because the anti-virus is a virus that lies dormant for a while before reaching a peak of development. Os a choinne sin arís, áfach, a dúirt sé, ní féidir ráig eile a chur as an áireamh mar gur vireas é an hantaivíreas a tholgann faoi go ceann scaithimh sula dtagann barr forbartha air. The World Health Organization advises people with the disease to quarantine for six weeks and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that most of the countries involved are currently adhering to that advice. Comhairlíonn an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte do dhaoine a bhfuil an galar orthu coraintín sé seachtaine a dhéanamh agus dúirt Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus go bhfuil bunáite na dtíortha atá i gceist an uair seo ag cloí leis an gcomhairle sin. The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, Jay Bhattacharya, said, however, that the same advice might not be applied in that country. An té atá i gceannas ar an Lárionad um Ghalair a Chosc agus a Rialú sna Stáit Aontaithe, Jay Bhattacharya, dúirt seisean, ámh, go mb’fhéidir nach gcuirfí an chomhairle chéanna i bhfeidhm sa tír sin. Two Irish women were among the passengers aboard the Hondius. Bhí beirt bhan as Éirinn i measc na bpaisinéirí a bhí ar bord an Hondius. They are now at home and are said to be in good health. Tá siad sa bhaile anois agus deirtear go bhfuil siad i ndea-shláinte. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nua

Athrú aeráide: an Eoraip is tréine atá ag téamh. Europe is warming, or being warmed by humans, more than any other continent on the planet, says a new international report on climate change. Is í an Eoraip thar aon ilchríoch eile den chruinne is tréine atá ag téamh, nó á téamh ag an duine, a deirtear i dtuarascáil nua idirnáisiúnta faoi athrú aeráide. Every decade for thirty years, Europe has seen an average temperature increase of 0.56 degrees, a rate that is twice as strong as the rest of the world. Gach deich mbliana le tríocha bliain, bhí meánardú de 0.56 céim ar an teocht san Eoraip, ráta atá dhá oiread níos tréine ná an chuid eile den domhan. This means that the temperature in Europe increased by 1.68 degrees during those years. Fágann sin gur ardú de 1.68 céim a tháinig ar an teocht san Eoraip i gcaitheamh na mblianta sin. However, temperatures are rising even faster in the Arctic region – 0.75 degrees every decade. Is tréine fós atá an teocht ag ardú i réigiún an Artaigh, áfach – 0.75 céim gach deich mbliana. The result of this catastrophic change is warmer air, warmer seas, melting ice, drier land, the destruction of nature and the disappearance of all the shadows on which all beings live. Is é an toradh atá ar an athrú tubaisteach seo aer níos teo, farraigí níos teo, leá oighir, talamh níos tirime, scriosadh dúlra agus dul i léig gach aon cheann de scátha a chéile a maireann gach aon neach orthu. The details are in the annual report published by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the World Meteorological Organization. Tá na mionsonraí sa tuarascáil bhliantúil a d’fhoilsigh an Lárionad Eorpach do Réamhaisnéisí Aimsire Meánraoin agus an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Meitéareolaíochta. In addition to the report’s doomsday predictions, it also highlights the positive side of the situation. Chomh maith le tuar tubaiste na tuarascála, tarraingítear aird ann ar an gcor dearfach. The progress made in Europe regarding renewable energy is said to be a hopeful forecast. Tuar dóchais, a deirtear, is ea an dul chun cinn atá déanta san Eoraip maidir le fuinneamh in- athnuaite. In 2025, 46.4% of Europe’s electricity supply will be generated from renewable sources. In 2025, is ó fhoinsí in-athnuaite a gineadh 46.4 faoin gcéad de sholáthar leictreachais na hEorpa. These sources were mainly wind, water and sun. Gaoth, uisce agus grian is mó a bhí sna foinsí sin. 27.5% of electricity supply was generated from fossil fuels, a significant decrease over thirty years. Ó bhreoslaí iontaise a gineadh 27.5 faoin gc

An t-amhránaí mór le rá Moya Brennan tar éis bháis. Northwest Reporter The famous singer from the Donegal Gaeltacht, Moya Brennan, has died. Tuairisceoir an Iarthuaiscirt Tá an t-amhránaí cáiliúil as Gaeltacht Dhún na nGall Moya Brennan tar éis bháis. She was 73 years old and had been ill for some time. Bhí sí 73 bliain d’aois agus bhí sí tinn le tamall. Máire Ní Bhraonáin first achieved fame as the lead singer and harpist with the group Clannad from Dobhar in Gaoth Dobhair. Bhain Máire Ní Bhraonáin cáil amach ar an chéad dul síos mar phríomhamhránaí agus mar chláirseoir leis an ghrúpa Clannad as Dobhar i nGaoth Dobhair. Máire was the eldest of nine children – Clannad – who took music seriously since 1970. Ba í Máire an duine ba shine de naonúr clainne – Clannad – a chuaigh leis an cheol go dáiríre ó 1970. She, her sister Eithne (Enya) and her brothers captivated millions with their modern versions of Irish music before taking to the international stage and singing English songs. Chuir sí féin, a deirfiúr Eithne (Enya) agus a deartháireacha na milliúin faoi gheasa lena leaganacha nua-aimseartha ar cheoltaí Gaeilge sular thug siad faoin stáitse idirnáisiúnta agus faoi amhráin Bhéarla. It was their own Irish language song they recorded for the television series Harry’s Game in 1982 that introduced them to the wider world outside of Ireland. Ba é a n-amhrán Gaeilge féin a thaifead siad faoi choinne na sraithe teilifíse Harry’s Game i 1982 a chuir in aithne iad don saol mór taobh amuigh d’Éirinn. “The east and the west, which have always come, the moon and the sun will go… “Imeoidh soir is siar, a dtáinig ariamh, an ghealach is an ghrian … ” – part of the significance of those lyrics and Máire’s magical voice together. ” – cuid suntais na liricí sin agus guth draíochtúil Mháire in éineacht. From a young age, Máire was involved in music at home with her mother Máire Ní Dhúgáin, later in dance halls and in her father’s pub, Leo Brennan, and in local gigs in Gaoth Dobhair. Ó bhí Mháire ina girseach bheag bhí sí ag gabháil cheoil sa bhaile lena máthair Máire Ní Dhúgáin, níos moille i hallaí damhsa agus i dteach tábhairne a hathar, Leo Brennan, agus i ngeamaireachtaí áitiúla I nGaoth Dobhair. Much later, she recorded music with some of the greatest performers of her time, such as Bono and Shane MacGowan. I bhfad ina dhiaidh sin, thaifead sí ceol i gcuideachta roinnt de mhóroirfidigh a linne, leithéidí Bono agus Shane MacGowan. She recorded a total of 25 albums – with Clannad and on her own – and sold</stro

Imhsuite, scuainí, tranglam tráchta ar an 4ú lá den agóid breosla. There are now fuel shortages in many places due to the blockades in place at fuel storage facilities in Limerick and Galway and at the Whitegate refinery in Cork, the only one in the State. Tá ganntananas breosla ina lán áiteanna anois de bharr an imshuí atá ar bun ag ionaid stórála breosla i Luimneach agus i nGaillimh agus ag scaglann an Gheata Bháin i gCorcaigh, an t-aon cheann sa Stát. Petrol station operators are predicting that 500 locations will be without any fuel tonight. Tá lucht na ngaráistí peitril ag tuar go mbeidh 500 ionad gan aon bhreosla anocht. This has already happened to hundreds of others, in the south and west. Tá sin tarlaithe cheana i gcás na gcéadta eile cheana, sa deisceart agus san iarthar. There is no shortage of fuel, but supplies are stagnant in storage facilities and in Whitegate. Níl aon ghantannas breosla ann, ach tá na soláthairtí i bhfastó sna hionaid stórála agus sa Gheata Bán. Because no fuel is being released from these, they have no capacity to accept any other cargo, which the Taoiseach referred to today when he said that we will have to ship oil cargoes at a time when the rest of the world is competing for them. De bharr nach bhfuil aon bhreosla á scaoileadh amach astu sin, níl aon acmhainn iontu glacadh le lastas ar bith eile, rud ar thagair an Taoiseach dó inniu á rá go mbeidh orainn lastais ola a chur ó dhoras tráth a bhfuil an cuid eile den domhain in iomaíocht faoina leithéid. An example of this is the Thun Gemini, a tanker anchored in Galway Bay with six million litres of oil on board, fuel that cannot be brought ashore at Galway port. Sampla de sin é an Thun Gemini, taincéir atá ar ancaire i gCuan na Gaillimhe agus sé mhilliún líotar ola ar bord aici, breosla nach féidir a thabhairt i dtír ag calafort na Gaillimhe. Although Dublin Port is accessible, traffic congestion throughout the city has caused significant delays in getting tankers to the garages in the East. Cé go bhfuil rochtain ar Chalafort Bhaile Átha Cliath, tá na hagóídí tráchta ar fud na hardchathrach ar cur an-mhoill ar taincéirí a thabhairt chuig na garáistí san Oirthear. And even if the blockade were to end tonight, it could be a week before supply is restored. Agus fiú dá dtiocfadh deireadh leis an imshuí anocht, d’fhéadfadh seachtain bheith ann <stro
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/252unhu8 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Poet Gabriel Rosenstock has died. An file Gabriel Rosenstock básaithe. Poet and writer Gabriel Rosenstock has died at the age of 76. Tá an file agus scríbhneoir Gabriel Rosenstock tar éis bháis agus é 76 bliain d’aois. His family confirmed his death this evening in a statement about “an international poet who brought many of the world’s great writers to the attention of Irish language readers“. A chlann a dheimhnigh a bhás tráthnóna i ráiteas faoi “fhile idirnáisiúnta a chuir go leor de mhórscríbhneoirí na cruinne faoi shúile lucht léitheoireachta na Gaeilge”. He believed “in the power of poetry” they said “and in the ability of poetry to build bridges between cultures”. Chreid sé “i gcumhacht na filíochta” a dúirt siad “agus i gcumas na filíochta droichead a thógáil idir cultúir”. “He was a prolific and restless soul who published over 400 books.” “Anam torthúil agus corrach a bhí aige a d’fhoilsigh breis is 400 leabhar. We will miss him, all of us who knew him and read his writing. Aireoidh muid uainn é, iad siúd go léir a raibh aithne againn air agus a léigh a chuid scríbhneoireachta. “At the right hand of God, may his soul rest in peace.” Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.” Gabriel Rosenstock spoke for several weeks to the Irish Independent and Raidió na Gaeltachta – speaking with his broadcaster son Tristan on the programme “The Man Who Was Never Born” – about his cancer which had spread, the treatment which was no longer working and his acceptance before his death. Labhair Gabriel Rosenstock le roinnt seachtainí leis an Irish Independent agus le Raidió na Gaeltachta – ag caint lena mhac an craoltóir Tristan ar an gclár “An fear nár saolaíodh riamh” – faoin ailse a bhí air a bhí tar éis scaipeadh, faoin leigheas nach raibh ag feidhmiú a thuilleadh agus faoina nglacadh a bhí aige roimh an mbás. He was keeping a diary about his time with the illness and his attitude towards it. Bhí sé i mbun dialainne faoina thréimhse leis an tinneas agus a dhearcadh ina leith. He spoke courageously to Nuacht TG4 a few days before his death, looking back on his life and forward to eternity. Labhair sé go misniúil le Nuacht TG4 cúpla lá sular cailleadh é, ag breathnú siar ar a shaol agus chun cinn chun na síoraíochta. He was born in Kilfinane i

Trump ag bagairt an Iaráin a chlochaoisiú le buamaí. In a televised speech last night, US President Donald Trump claimed that American military forces in Iran had almost achieved all of their objectives. In óráid teilifíse a thug sé uaidh aréir, mhaígh Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump go raibh a gcuid cuspóirí ar fad nach mór bainte amach ag fórsaí míleata Mheiriceá san Iaráin. Nevertheless, Trump said, the Americans will continue to bomb and destroy Iran until that country is “back in the stone age again”, as he put it. Ina dhiaidh sin féin, arsa Trump, leanfaidh na Meiriceánaigh orthu ag buamáil agus ag bánú na hIaráine nó go mbeidh an tír sin “ar ais sa chlochaois arís”, mar a dúirt sé. He indeed threatened that the bombing would intensify in the next two or three weeks. Bhagair sé go deimhin go ngéarófaí ar an mbuamáil as seo go ceann coicíse nó trí seachtaine. All that offensive rhetoric from Trump despite the fact that the American people – or at least a large portion of them – are sick and tired of his proclivity for war, if the latest polls are true. An rá mata oilbhéasach sin ar fad ó Trump in ainneoin bhunáite mhuintir Mheiriceá – nó cuid mhór díobh ar an gcuid is lú de – a bheith tinn tuirseach den luiteacht atá aige le cogaíocht, más fíor do na pobalbhreitheanna is deireanaí. A card game is Trump’s favorite game, apparently, or at least the one he talks about most often. Cluiche cártaí an tsamhail is ansa le Trump, de réir dealraimh, nó is minice óna bhéal ar chuma ar bith. “We have all the cards“, he said last night, “and none of them (the Iranians)”. “Is againne atá na cártaí uile“, a dúirt sé aréir, “agus gan oiread agus ceann acusan (na hIaránaigh)”. However, international markets have turned a blind eye to Trump’s remarks and have not respected his own ‘one Trump’, as Brent crude oil prices rose to $108.15 a barrel this morning – a 7% increase from yesterday. Ar a shon sin, is ‘súil na muice’ a chaith lucht na margaí idirnáisiúnta ar reacaireacht Trump agus gan meas ‘an aoin truif’ féin acu ar a ndúirt sé, arae dhaoirsigh amhola Brent go dtí $108.15 an bairille ar maidin inniu – ardú de 7 faoin gcéad ó inné. But like financiers, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has no respect for Trump’s negative rhetoric, especially what he said about re-stoning Iran with bombs. Ach an oiread le lucht airgeadais, níl aon mheas ag an Taoiseach Micheál Martin ar chaint dhíblí Trump, go háirithe a ndúirt sé faoin Iaráin a ath-chlochaoisiú le buamaí. “Such talk is unacceptable,” said the Taoiseach. Níl glacadh ar bith le caint mar é, arsa an Taoiseach. The Iranian people are not responsible for the war</stron

An Iaráin á slacairt an athuair ag fórsaí Iosrael. Israeli military forces are clearly not resting on their laurels, as they are carrying out another massive raid this morning on the Iranian capital, Tehran, after suffocating the place overnight. Níl suí ná foras ar fhórsaí míleata Iosrael, is léir, agus iad ag tabhairt ollruathair arís ar maidin ar phríomhchathair na hIaráine, Tehran, tar éis dóibh an áit a shlacairt i gcaitheamh na hoíche. There is no word yet on the dead but it is assumed that scores of them are there. Níl aon chaint fós ar na mairbh ach glactar leis go bhfuil na scórtha acu ann. Two other cities – Shiraz in southern Iran and Tabriz in the northwest – have also been bombarded by the Israelis since morning. Dhá chathair eile – Shiraz i ndeisceart na hIaráine agus Tabriz san iarthuaisceart – tá siad á dtuairgneáil ag na hIosraelaigh ó mhaidin chomh maith. It is not a time of neglect or delay for the Israelis in Lebanon either, and it is reported that they are once again bombing villages in the south of that country. Ní tráth faillí ná moille ag na hIosraelaigh é sa Liobáin ach an oiread, agus tuairiscítear go bhfuil sráidbhailte i ndeisceart na tíre sin á mbuamáil acu arís. The Israeli army says it is also fighting Hezbollah on the ground. Deir arm Iosrael go bhfuil siad ag dul i ngleic le Hezbollah ar an talamh freisin. It appears that Iranian military forces fired an explosive drone at Dubai airport this morning, hitting a large fuel tank. Is cosúil gur scaoil fórsaí míleata na hIaráine drón pléascach le haerfort Dubai ar maidin agus gur buaileadh mórumar breosla ann. Smoke is rising from the tank but it doesn’t appear to be affecting flights at the airport much. Tá deatach ag éirí as an umar ach dealraíonn sé nach bhfuil sé ag cur isteach mórán ar eitiltí san aerfort. Military authorities in the United Arab Emirates say they have been diverting or shooting down dozens of Iranian drones since morning. Deir na húdaráis mhíleata in Aontas na nÉimíríochtaí Arabacha go bhfuil na scórtha drón ón Iaráin á gcur malairt riain acu nó á séideadh san aer acu ó mhaidin. Not to mention the destruction and killing, the economic toll of unrest is affecting countries around the world, including, what else, the countries that are waging war on Iran. Gan trácht ar an scrios agus an marú</st

An Liobáin agus an Iaráin á dtuairgneáil tuilleadh. Israeli military forces are reportedly carrying out a massive raid on Iranian infrastructure again today, for the fifth day in a row. Tuairiscítear go bhfuil ruathar ollmhór á thabhairt ag fórsaí míleata Iosrael ar bhonneagar na hIaráine arís inniu, an cúigiú lá as a chéile. In a statement, the Israelis claimed that their bombs were aimed at Iranian military infrastructure – including missile launch sites and air defense systems – but made no mention of the civilian infrastructure they were also targeting. I ráiteas, mhaigh na hIosraelaigh gur ar bhonneagar míleata na hIaráine atá a gcuid buamaí dírithe – lena n-áirítear ionaid lainseála diúracán agus córais chosanta aeir – ach níl aon lua ar an mbonneagar sibhialta atá á rúscadh acu freisin. This is the case in Lebanon, where Israeli missiles destroyed a hotel in the capital, Beirut, and residential buildings in the Lebanon Valley in the east of the country. Is amhlaidh atá an scéal sa Liobáin, mar ar scrios diúracáin na nIosraelach óstán sa phríomhchathair, Béiriút, agus árais chónaithe i nGleann na Liobáine in oirthear na tíre. Several people are reported to have been killed in those two attacks, it was not said how many. Tuairiscítear roinnt daoine a bheith maraithe sa dá ionsaí sin, ní dúradh cé mhéad. The Israeli army has ordered the population of sixteen villages in southern Lebanon to gather because, they say, they will soon begin bombarding those areas. Tá ordú tugtha ag arm Iosrael don phobal i sé shráidbhaile dhéag i ndeisceart na Liobáine bailiú leo mar gur gearr, a deir siad, go dtósóidh siad ag tuairgneáil na n-áiteanna sin. The Israelis say they are wreaking havoc there in order to suppress Hezbollah, an organization supported by Iran. Is le dúil Hezbollah, eagraíocht a dtacaíonn an Iaráin leis, a chur faoi chois a deir na hIosraelaigh atá siad ag déanamh lot tíre ann. Hezbollah has been firing rockets into northern Israel for several days. Tá Hezbollah ag scaoileadh roicéad uathu le tuaisceart Iosrael le roinnt laethanta. Irish soldiers are among the international troops on peacekeeping duty with the United Nations in southern Lebanon. Tá saighdiúirí na hÉireann i measc na saighdiúirí idirnáisiúnta atá ar dualgas síochána leis na Náisiúin Aontaithe i ndeisceart na Liobáine. As with Iran, the commander of American forces in the Middle East is boasting about how well his sold
