The week in pictures: June 16 – June 22, 2015

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.
