In the debate on the place of confederate statues in American society, liberal political commentator Al Sharpton is firmly on the side of: absolutely nowhere.

He made that abundantly clear during a recent interview with PBS Charlie Rose.

During his interview with Rose, Sharpton said that he doesnt want his tax dollars to support monuments honoring even men who owned slaves. Specifically, he mentioned the monstrous Thomas Jefferson memorial in Washington D.C.

This is personal to us. My great grandfather was a slave in South Carolina, Sharpton said. People need to understand that people were enslaved.

Because his family was a victim of slavery, Sharpton said his tax dollars shouldnt be forced to support an image of what he feels is oppression.

Public monuments [to people like Jefferson] are supported by public funds, Sharpton said. Youre asking me to subsidize the insult to my family.

Instead of placing them prominently in society, Sharpton suggested the monuments be placed in private museums.

After the interview aired, people were quick to point out the hypocrisy of Sharptons comments. He doesnt want his money to go to these monuments, yet he is notoriously known for owing millions to the Internal Revenue Service.

How can he complain when he doesnt pay his taxes?

Its understandable to not want your hard-earned money to support things that you dont agree with or support. But its a bit rich coming from Sharpton who, after all, advocates the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, the nations largest provider of abortions.

Double standard much, Al?

The European Union (EU) is confused and puzzled about Britains post-Brexit trade plans, Irelands Taoiseachorprime ministersaid, as he accused the UK Government of having unrealistic demands.

Leo Varadkar, who took office in June, was speaking during a trip to Canada where he met with the country's prime minister,Justin Trudeau,andvisited the countrys border with the US as part of a fact-finding mission to look at options for the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland after Brexit.

I think Id be right to say on behalf of the European governments that were not satisfied with the progress that has been made so far, hetoldBloomberg. However, well continue with the talks.

We hope that more progress can be made and that that progress will be sufficient when we meet in October to allow the talks to continue to the next phase, but to date the progress has not been sufficient.

The Irish leader also called on the UK Government to clarify what kind of trade deal it hopes to reach with the EU and said the lack of clarity was delaying talks.

Where were confused and puzzled is...on what trade agreement the United Kingdom wants with the European Union, he said.

At the moment they have the best trade deal possible the best one imaginable which is a customs union and access to the European Single Market and the European Economic Area.

What they seem to have been suggesting for the last 14 months is that they want to have all the advantages of being in the EU but none of the responsibilities and costs. Thats not a realistic position, so were waiting to see what they would like to see.

He added: Its not clear to us what the deals are that the British Government really wants from Europe and from other countries, and I think some more clarity in that area would be very helpful.

Mr Varadkhar said EU states were also keen to know what will happen to EU citizens who want to move to live with relatives in the UK. The British Government has refused to give concrete guarantees about the rights of EU citizens.

Another sticking point during talks has been the size of the Brexit bill that Britain will pay when it leaves the EU.

Theres no agreement yet on the amount of money that Britain will be paying, Mr Varadkar said. It does have outstanding legal obligations, for example pensions paid to European civil servants, many of whom are British.

Despite the delays, he said he was satisfied with proposals to allow British and Irish citizens to move freely between the two countries after Brexit and reassured by the UKs commitment to the peace process in Northern Ireland.

There must not be a trade border introduced on the island, he added.

The European Union has warned Israel that some agricultural exports to Europe will be cut at the beginning of 2018 if Jerusalem does not take measures to stop the spread of the false codling moth, an agricultural pest that is known to attack more than 70 fruit and vegetable species, including citrus fruit, pomegranate, avocado, mango, guava, corn, cotton and more.

Historically, the moth has been found mainly in Africa, but in recent years has caused increasing damage in Israel as well.

The Ministry of Agriculture said in a statement that several climate variants in Israel makes the pest difficult to kill, including the fact that the moth is active year-round, that it lives and breeds quickly on several different species, and that it is difficult to identify eggs or to know when the bugs have gotten into the fruit.

Further complicating matters for Israeli exporters, European Union regulations require the use of environmentally-friendly pesticides that are not very effective.

Agricultural authorities in Europe, North America and Asia have blocked entry to a large number of shipments from Israel over the past year due to concerns over the false codling moth, leading to the EU demand to ramp up measures to fight the pest.

According to the European demand, Israel will have to show a new protocol for fighting the pest and exporters who fail to comply with the new regulation will not be allowed to export their products to Europe.
