There was no shortage of big news stories last week so we review some of the most important to hit the headlines over the last seven days

A Tunisian beach resort was turned into a bloodbath last week as a 23 year old ISIS sympathizer, Seifeddine Rezgui, opened fire with a machine gun on unarmed tourists. Holiday makers ran for their lives as Rezgui gunned down 39 and injured a further 36. Tunisia has already seen a similar soft-target attack on its soil this year with 22 mostly foreign tourists killed in a central Tunis museum in March. Rezgui was killed at the scene by police.

In the US the Supreme Court had a busy week ruling on the contentious issues of the Affordable Healthcare Act and Same-Sex marriage within days of each other. In a victory for the Obama White House the act popularly named “Obamacare” passed 6-3 but even that paled when compared with the huge celebration of the courts upholding of the constitutional right of the LGBT community to marriage by 5 to 4 at the annual pride marches that coincided with the ruling.

Alexis Tsipras, the Greek Prime Minister, responded to the deepening financial crisis in his country by calling for a referendum on the demands made upon the nation by its Eurozone creditors. This irked the creditors which resulted in a cutting off of the bailout funds the EU has provided over the last five years. This meant that banks would remain closed and ATM withdrawals would be limited to 60 Euros until the July 5th vote, the first of its kind since 1974 when the nation voted to remove the monarchy.

In sport Nelson Piquet Jr won the inaugural season of Formula E the single seat racing competition that pits cars powered only by electricity against each other. Despite a terrible qualification for the final race in London’s Battersea Park Piquet did just enough to take the championship. Will this herald a future of greener motorsport, you’ll have to read our daily news pages to find out, but in the meantime lets look back at some of the stories we covered last week.

Meanwhile in the US two major broadcasters had moments of major stupidity as Fox News and CNN both broadcast pieces of silliness. Fox decided to air one of its anchors, a Martha MacCallum, asking if the Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage paved the way for trios of people to wed, which was nearly as ridiculous as CNN broadcasting pictures of what it said was an ISIS flag at the London Gay Pride march only to find out it actually depicted a selection of butt-plugs and dildos.

With lots of big news stories breaking over the last seven days so lets take our regular look back at some of the most important

The United States once again found its problems with racism front and center as a twenty one year old white supremacist gunned down nine members of a black church’s congregation in Charleston, South Carolina. Dylann Roof was later arrested and charged with the murders. Also raising issues of gun control the National Rife Association managed to excel itself with one executive stating on the internet that the blame for the deaths lay with the church that wouldn’t allow the congregation to carry weapons of their own. Hastily deleted the comments highlight the US’ dysfunctional relationship with guns.

The financial row between Greece and the Eurozone nations continued last week as both sides failed to agree on proposals for the maintenance of the nation’s crippling debt. Greeks fear the imposition of harsh austerity measures imposed by the EU, European Central Bank and IMF, will further damage their economy and the bankers refuse to unlock bailout funds before the Greeks agree. June 30th sees the deadline for a payment of 1.6 billion Euros on Greek debt and failure to pay might see them exit the currency sparking an even wider crisis.

Casino owner and billionaire buffoon, Donald Trump, a man with a naturally occurring wig and no sense of his own ridiculousness, announced he would be standing as a candidate for President of the United States in 2016 and in a rambling speech at the Trump Tower in Manhattan, squarely placed the blame for the nation’s problems on the shoulders of Mexicans who he seemed to believe were all gun runners, drug dealers and rapists. His entry into an already crowded Republican field ensures this election won’t be short on comedy even as the infighting begins on that side of the aisle.

In sport Tiger Woods’ slump in performance hit a new low as he missed the cut for the US Open fifteen years after winning it by a clear 15 shot lead. With recent performances disappointing many fans are wondering when the star will bounce back and make a rousing return to his winning ways. Will he manage it? You’ll have to read our daily news pages to find out if he does or not, but in the meantime lets look back over some of the major stories we covered over the last seven days.

Meanwhile the bravery of a cat was recognized in Los Angeles last week when the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals presented it’s trophy for National Hero Dog to Tara, a feline, instead.
Tara had run to the aid of its six year old autistic owner who, whilst riding his bike in the front yard, had been attacked by a neighbor’s dog. The cat then bit the dog and chased it away returning to Jeremy’s side. The trophy was suitably amended to read cat not dog before it’s presentation.
