Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent Sweden's accession protocol to lawmakers for approval
Turkey’s parliament approves Sweden’s NATO membership
ANKARA — Turkish legislators on Tuesday endorsed Sweden’s membership in NATO, lifting a major hurdle on the previously nonaligned country’s entry into the military alliance.The legislators ratified Sweden’s accession protocol by 287 votes to 55, with four abstentions. It will come into effect after its publication in the Official Gazette, which is expected to be swift.NATO-member Turkey had been delaying Sweden’s membership for more than a year, accusing the country of being too lenient toward groups that Ankara regards as security threats. It has been seeking concessions from Stockholm, including a tougher stance toward Kurdish militants and members of a network that Ankara blames for a failed coup in 2016.Turkey had also been angered by a series of demonstrations by supporters...

A Ryanair flight from Dublin struggled to land at Leeds Bradford Airport during Storm Isha
Passengers wake up in the ‘wrong’ country as Storm Isha plays havoc with flight plans
LONDON — Thousands of airline passengers across Europe woke up this morning at the wrong destination – and even in the wrong country – after Storm Isha caused havoc with flights, with dozens of cancelations, diversions and go-arounds in western Europe.It’s usually the quickest way of getting from A to B for long journeys, but for those traveling to and from Ireland and the UK last night, flying became an odyssey.
