America is deploying more fighter planes to the Middle East in a "demonstration of force" as tensions escalate and speculation about a possible US strike on Iran continues. Pictures and flight tracking data show F-35 jets and tanker aircraft being moved towards the region, as well as the tasking of an aircraft carrier, providing options in case President Donald Trump decides to intervene in the conflict.

Two 14-year-old boys were arrested and charged after the incident, and police in Northern Ireland said the pair used a Romanian interpreter to plead not guilty in court. After that, calls for "peaceful protest" from the victim's father were amplified online. Those protests took on an anti-immigration angle and erupted into riots and clashes with police.

Charles Wadsworth, founder of Spoleto Festival’s chamber music series, died on May 29. He was 96. He had stepped away from the festival in 2010 and retreated to his apartment in New York City where health challenges kept him from the spotlight. Wadsworth popularized classical chamber music, demystifying it and broadening its audience, first in Italy, then at Lincoln Center in New York City, then in Charleston.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This profile of Charles Wadsworth originally appeared in The Post and Courier in two parts, on March 29 and April 5, 2009. It is republished on the occasion of Wadsworth's death at age 96. For 50 years, he’s been doing this: the collegial rehearsals, the sound checks under museum rotundas, the ritual travel and lunches and visits with friends, the nonchalant but purposeful banter and joking designed to make the music accessible.

Most performing arts festivals put together a slate of artists, schedule concerts and productions, sell tickets, then sit back and hope for the best. But that’s not Larry Blumenfeld’s style. For Spoleto Festival USA, Blumenfeld thinks big. He encourages artists to showcase new work, to collaborate with festival musicians, to tap into the cultural and musical heritage of the Lowcountry, to get out of their comfort zones.

Audio analysis of footage of an Israeli attack on an aid worker convoy last month suggests that some of the shots were fired from as little as 12 metres away. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has admitted killing the unarmed medics, saying that the convoy was acting "suspiciously". A spokesman told journalists in a 5 April briefing that an initial investigation had found there was "no firing from close distance" during the incident on 23 March.

Dale Morris, the man once tasked with leading Charleston through the uncharted waters of a changing climate, has died. He was recruited to be the city's Chief Resilience Officer for his expertise, imagination and years of consulting experience. He previously worked for the Netherlands embassy in Washington, D.C., as a senior economist and co-creator of the Dutch Dialogues, applying all he knew about the risks and impacts of rising sea levels in urban environments.

The Israeli army has ordered the evacuation of large swathes of Gaza after a series of deadly overnight strikes, including areas that satellite images show are densely populated. The evacuation map was issued by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Tuesday, just hours after the military said it was launching a "large-scale attack" on "terror targets" in Gaza after talks to extend the ceasefire failed.

Andrew and Tristan Tate arrived in Florida on Thursday as free men after a travel ban in Romania was lifted.

Recently, I was interviewed about the civil rights leader Cleveland Sellers and the Orangeburg Massacre of 1968. The documentary filmmaker behind the camera mused that leaders of that quality and courage seemed to be in short supply these days. I disagreed. I could easily name several such people in South Carolina, I said, thinking of The Post and Courier’s “12 Black Leaders to Know” project, now in its fifth year. Jerry Blassingame in Greenville is helping ex-convicts reintegrate into normal life.
