Kassid on tuntud oma erakordse oskuse poolest varjata haigusi ja valu viimase hetkeni. Erinevalt koertest või teistest lemmikloomadest ei kipu nad kurtma ega oma vaevu välja näitama, mis teeb tervisemurede varajase avastamise omaniku jaoks äärmiselt keeruliseks. Tuntud loomaarst dr Alex Crow hoiatab aga sotsiaalmeedias kassiomanikke elutähtsa kontrolli eest, mida enamik inimesi igapäevaselt eirab, kuid mis võib sõna otseses mõttes päästa lemmiklooma elu.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Keir Starmer “will resign” as British prime minister, jumping into the U.K.’s political crisis as Labour MPs brace for a possible change at the top of government as soon as Monday. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump said Starmer had “failed badly” on two issues: immigration and energy, before adding: “I wish him well!” Trump singled out North Sea oil — a frequent dividing line between Trump and European center-left leaders — and wrote that Britain should “OPEN NORTH SEA OIL.” The intervention by Trump came amid intensifying speculation in Westminster that Starmer could announce a departure plan as soon as Monday. One of his senior Cabinet allies, Business Secretary Peter Kyle, pointedly declined to rule out such a move Sunday morning, saying the prime minister was weighing the “political realities and challenges” that he faces. Asked on the BBC whether Starmer would fight on, Kyle said: “These are decisions for Keir to make. He’s … taking the time to think through what the political realities are today, compared to last week, the week before.” Kyle’s comments followed a report in the Observer that Starmer would make a “clear statement” on his future after concluding his position was no longer tenable. The Guardian also reported that Starmer is expected to announce Monday that he will step down after pressure from Labour MPs to make way for Andy Burnham to become Labour leader. Starmer’s troubles have been building for months, driven by poor polling, Labour unrest and complaints from MPs that the government has failed to recover momentum since its 2024 landslide.  The issues Trump highlighted have also dogged the prime minister. Labour has faced pressure over migration and defense spending, while its North Sea oil stance has drawn attacks from critics who argue it weakens Britain’s energy security. For Starmer, the timing of Trump’s intervention was unwelcome.  His premiership, launched on a promise of stability after years of Conservative turbulence, is now the subject of open succession chatter — with Burnham increasingly treated in Westminster as the figure most likely to steady the party if Starmer goes.

Vice President JD Vance laid out lofty ambitions ahead of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran to end the war, suggesting that the talks could “transform the Middle East” even as fighting in Lebanon threatens to undermine the perilous U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Vance told reporters in Switzerland on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s hope for the region is that it’s “much different 10 years from now than it was 10 years ago,” while pointing to Iran as the catalyst for volatility in the Middle East. “What we’re trying to accomplish here is something very simple,” he said. “Through diplomacy, through working together to transform the Middle East … where Iran has been a driver of regional instability, now we see a future where everybody can work together to promote peace and prosperity for everyone.” The meeting between Vance and Iranian officials, originally expected to begin Friday, was temporarily delayed after an escalation of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. On Saturday, Iran again closed transit through the Strait of Hormuz, which had been reopened last week as part of the U.S-Iran ceasefire agreement. In a Fox News interview on Sunday, Trump threatened to “take over” the strait and will “blow the shit out of” Iran if needed. Vance said “additional progress has been made” in Lebanon since both he and Iranian officials opted not to travel to Switzerland for talks on Thursday and projected confidence that the U.S. and Israel could achieve a lasting peace in Lebanon despite “disagreements” over strategy. Hezbollah, which has launched missile strikes against Israel, has long been supported by Iran. Lebanon is expected to be among the topics discussed between Vance and Iran’s lead negotiator, parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. “The president has committed us to see a full regional ceasefire. We’ve found great partners in working with the Qataris, the Pakistanis, our friends in Israel,” Vance said. “We’re all working toward regional peace. There, of course, are going to be sometimes disagreements about precisely how to get there, but I actually feel great about where we are in Lebanon.” Trump struck a different tone on Lebanon later Sunday morning. The president told Fox News he’s considering empowering Syria to join the fighting against Hezbollah in Lebanon, adding that he’s “disappointed Israel can’t put Hezbollah away.” In a social media post, he urged Iran to “stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon,” threatening to “hit Iran very hard again” if Hezbollah continues fighting Israel. Vance reiterated the importance of a critical sticking point in negotiations thus far: The U.S. demand for Iran to be prohibited from building a nuclear weapon. The agreement signed by Trump last week would allow Iran to use its nuclear program for civilian purposes. “If your leadership is willing to give up being a driver of regional instability, if they are willing to give up nuclear weapons ambitions for the long term, then the United States is willing to fundamentally transform our relationship with that country,” Vance said. “That is certainly our goal.”
