just now (244+ words) NATO countries are occasionally reflecting on the organization's purpose. Some countries are eager to join the military bloc, while others within NATO have suddenly begun to realize they could be drawn into war at any moment. Norwegian UN peacekeeping veteran D. Bertgun says NATO is facing significant degradation. He argues that the North Atlantic military bloc in its current form could cease to exist, not because of an immediate crisis, but because the deterioration has been ongoing for years. Bertgun claims that the "contours of NATO's decline are already visible": And this is primarily due to the fact that the unit turned out to be incapable of performing the tasks for which it was created. According to polls conducted in the countries of the North Atlantic military bloc from August to October, for the first time in more than 30 years, the…...

1+ min ago (437+ words) After letting Sam Darnold walk last offseason, the Minnesota Vikings took a gamble that J.J. McCarthy could be their quarterback going forward. However, that decision hasn't gone as planned for the Vikings, as questions remain about McCarthy. The Vikings have an offense that should be looking to contend right now with weapons like Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and even T.J. Hockenson. Nonetheless, after Darnold left for the Seattle Seahawks, Daniel Jones sought an opportunity that led him to join the Indianapolis Colts. With the Vikings having a question mark at quarterback and Jefferson still in his prime, Stephen A. Smith of ESPN said he wouldn't blame the Minnesota star if he wanted out. "I wouldn't blame Justin Jefferson if he has to be traded," Smith said on the November 27 edition of "First Take.I'm disgusted with the Minnesota Vikings" But [Kwesi Adofo-Mensah] and…...

Ms Phillips, from Whitfield, has been a midwife for 30 years at North Manchester hospital. She flew…...

Liverpool are a shambles in every department of the pitch right now.

1+ min ago (268+ words) Two local authorities have agreed to consult the public on their shared proposals for housing. Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council said more than 48,000 homes needed to be delivered by 2045 to meet growth. Proposed developments included 13,000 homes north of Cambourne and 6,000 south of Cambridge at Grange Farm.

Under the existing non-joined up approach, 37,865 homes are due to be constructed by…...
