Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias’ statement following the trilateral meeting with his Cypriot and Israeli counterparts, Nikos Christodoulides and Yair Lapid (Jerusalem, 22 August 2021)
It is such a great pleasure to be back in Jerusalem today. Last time I was here, in May, there were rockets being fired against Israel. I was the first European Minister to fly here to condemn those attacks and underline Israel’s right to defend itself. Together, in a calmer environment, we discussed with you and with Nikos, ways of enhancing our cooperation, starting with civil protection. And I must take this opportunity, on behalf of the government of Prime Minister Mitsotakis, to thank you deeply, both you and Nikos, for your help during the wildfires in Greece. For the solidarity and the concrete support, you gave us. And I have to say that this is something that has created a very positive element, our cooperation, to address climate change and the results of climate change. I will meet with the Israeli Minister of Energy, Karine Elharrar, afterwards to speak about energy cooperation, interconnectivity, renewables, gas. We can really create a lot of things, beneficial for us, our three countries, for the region and also for Europe. Our objective today was also to find new ways to institutionalize our participation of strategic partners of our trilateral scheme. You mentioned them, thank you.Luckily, they are many. And we believe that other countries eventually will share the same principles with us and the same values with us.And that brings me to the other major issue we addressed today, the extremely worrying developments in the wider region. You, Yair, have termed a phrase: “Circle of Life”. Countries that promote peaceful coexistence, moderation, prosperity, International Law. But unfortunately, we also see a vicious circle contrary to this circle of life. Religious fanaticism, terrorism, an “arc of fundamentalism” spanning from North Africa to the Eastern Mediterranean and going as far as Central Asia and Afghanistan. The Taliban consider Turkey an ally; they made a clear statement that Turkey is a friendly country. And Hamas, very close here, congratulated the Taliban. There are countries in our neighbourhood that, contrary to what we believe is even in the interest of their own societies, try to revive old empires and, even worse, old understandings. Literally buried in the sand of the past.And they’re using many tools. Military incursions in other countries, meddling in the internal affairs of other countries, asymmetrical warfare, proxy warfare. And, of course, sometimes they instrumentalise migration, which is totally unacceptable. Our common effort is that those efforts should never succeed. Our meeting today consists also in an effort to enhance a strong bilateral relation between Greece and Israel. I am particularly happy that I will be received by President Herzog and Prime Minister Bennett later on, as we are facing difficult times ahead and it would be very interesting to hear their views.It is clear for us that the best way to address the problems of today is being together with friends. Building bridges of stability and prosperity for all. Open to all the willing countries in Europe, in the Middle East, in the Gulf and even beyond. Thank you, dear Yair, for your kindness and hospitality.Thank you, dear Nikos, for the climate in our discussion.

The Women of Troy by Pat Barker review – a Troy story for the sisterhood
Moving from Homer to Virgil, Pat Barker’s second feminist reboot of the classics is a stirring adventure set amid a misogynist dystopia Pat Barker’s previous novel, _The Silence of the Girls_, retold the _Iliad _from the point of view of one of its minor characters, Briseis, a Trojan captive squabbled over by the Greek invaders who are Homer’s principal focus. By relentlessly spelling out the original myth’s grislier implications, Barker transformed a supernatural tale of wartime heroism into an ultra-realistic hellscape of female subjugation. Amid near-unanimous critical approval, a rare note of dissent was struck by the author and classicist Natalie Haynes, whose stealthily territorial _Spectator_ review marked down Barker for her “clunky anachronisms”; Haynes, it turned out, had her own feminist reboot of the _Iliad _(2019’s_ A Thousand Ships_) in the works. And yes, while _The Silence of the Girls_ can jar, not least in its determinedly 21st-century register (“reaching out”, “a real nightmare”), you couldn’t help feel that Barker had long priced in such quibbles when she set out to remake her source anew simply by dint of being as blunt as possible. It isn’t only a matter of the pungent dialogue, all “bollockings” and “gobshites”, Homer as told by Father Jack. Witness the opening to her new novel, a sequel drawn from the _Aeneid_. Airlessly crammed into their wooden horse, the Greeks are biding their time outside the gates of Troy, ready to settle unfinished business; but imagine if someone needed a shit? Such questions underpin all Barker’s effects in these books, and generate horror as well as bathos; I lost count of how many times the narrator, introducing women seized in the city’s ensuing fall, draws attention to bruised necks, wrists and mouths. The story largely unfolds as the Greeks wait to return home, bickering over the finer points of martial etiquette. Again Briseis narrates, recounting her late teens at a distance of 50 years. Present-tense segments in the third person cut at intervals to male secondary characters who, in their own ways, also find themselves wilting under macho honour codes, most importantly the young fighter Pyrrhus, overshadowed by his father, Achilles, now five months dead.

Coronavirus live news: UK public to be offered antibody tests for first time
Some people who test positive will be sent antibody tests in scheme to measure body’s response to different variants * UK scientists look at halving boosters to save vaccine for rest of the world * Tennessee radio host who criticised vaccine efforts dies of Covid * Cuba’s health system buckles under strain of overwhelming Covid surge * Wuhan lab leak theory more about politics than science * See all our coronavirus coverage 10.49am BST Scientists in BRITAIN are examining whether smaller doses of Covid vaccine could be used as part of booster programmes, amid hopes that the approach could also increase the supply of jabs across the world. The use of so-called “fractional doses” has been proposed as a way of ensuring that precious supplies can immunise as many people as possible in parts of the world where there are shortages, while still providing high levels of protection from the virus. Related: UK scientists look at halving boosters to save vaccine for rest of the world 10.29am BST The GREEK government has reiterated its pledge to avoid shuttering the economy again this autumn, saying it will instead seek to curb cases through the use of Covid passes for hospitality venues. Unvaccinated people will be unable to sit indoors in venues including restaurants, cafes, bars, theatres and cinemas, while those who have been inoculated will be required to show proof of vaccination.
