The drought is over: Tiger Woods wins 2019 Masters, his first major championship since 2008

In a comeback for the ages, Tiger Woods reached the pinnacle of his return to the game by winning his fifth green jacket and 15th major championship Sunday in the 83rd edition of the Masters.

Staring at the abyss just two years ago when he was bedridden and thinking his career was over due to a painfully disorderly back, Woods was stoic and steady throughout the week at Augusta National Golf Club despite the roars echoing through the Georgia pines.

With a final-round 2-under-par 70 in his Sunday red mock turtleneck, Woods won on these hallowed grounds for the first time since 2005. It also marked his first triumph in a major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open.

Starting the day two shots behind leader Francesco Molinari, Woods finished at 13 under par and one shot ahead of Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka.

On a day where six players had at least a share of the lead, with the manual operators of the famous white scoreboards working at a feverish pace, and the patrons shaking the grounds with rumbling ovations, Woods remained cool, collected and confident from the first tee onward

Why Notre Dame Cathedral is so important to Catholics worldwide

This week is Holy Week, when millions of Western Christians mark the death and resurrection of Jesus. Under normal circumstances, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris would have been preparing to display its holy relics to the faithful on Good Friday.

But as fire engulfed the sacred site on Monday, Catholics across the world reacted in horror and disbelief, particularly when the cathedral's iconic spire toppled amid the flames.
For generations, Notre Dame has been a place of pilgrimage and prayer, and, even as religion in France has declined for decades, it remained the beating heart of French Catholicism, open every day for Mass.
"I can't even look at it," the Rev. James Martin, a Jesuit writer based in New York, said of the televised images of flames devouring the cathedral's iconic Gothic architecture.
"Outside of St. Peter's Basilica (in Vatican City) I don't think there's a more iconic church for Catholics. I don't think there are any Catholics who visit Paris and don't pray or go to Mass at Notre Dame."
For Martin, as for other Catholics, it was difficult not to see several layers of symbolism in the flames: The fire broke out during Holy Week, the most sacred time on the Christian calendar, at a time when the Catholic Church worldwide is engulfed in controversy over the abuse of children, and when France has seen months of public anger over rising fuel prices.
Martin wasn't alone in his grief. As news of the fire spread Monday, many prominent Catholics expressed deep sadness.
"I just went next door to our own beloved Cathedral, Saint Patrick's, to ask the intercession of Notre Dame, our Lady, for the Cathedral at the heart of Paris, and of civilization, now in flames!" Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York tweeted. "God preserve this splendid house of prayer, and protect those battling the blaze."
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Houston, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, called the fire "shocking" and saddening. But, like many Catholics, DiNardo connected the heartbreaking news to the coming Easter holy day.
"We are a people of hope and of the resurrection, and as devastating as this fire is, I know that the faith and love embodied by this magnificent Cathedral will grow stronger in the hearts of all Christians."
DiNardo said Notre Dame is more than the sum of its tumultuous history. The cathedral, he said, "has long been a symbol of the transcendent human spirit as well as our longing for God."
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster in England, called the cathedral "the heart of the faith" in Europe.
"Who is not deeply moved at the sight of this great Cathedral in flames?" Nichols tweeted. For the people of Paris this is a disaster that touches their very soul."

Good Friday
Notre Dame is not a parish church, meaning that it does not have a regular body of worshippers who "belong" to the church. But it is still the home church of Paris' Archbishop Michel Aupetit and draws Catholics for vespers (evening prayers) Masses and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Penance.
And every year during Holy Week, Notre Dame unveils some of the most coveted relics in Christendom. Among them is the Holy Crown, believed by many to be from the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus, and which the cathedral calls its "the most precious and most venerated relic." Catholics have prayed with the Holy Crown for more than 16 centuries, according to the cathedral.
Notre Dame also counts among its treasures two other relics connected to Holy Week: a fragment of the Wood of the Cross, believed by many to be a part of the "true cross" on which Jesus was crucified; and one of the nails that the Romans used to crucify Jesus.
That nail comes from the Holy Sepulcher, the place where Jesus was buried in Jerusalem, according to Notre Dame. Christians in Jerusalem gave the relic to the Emperor Charlemagne in 799, and it subsequently became a powerful object of veneration for generations of French Catholics.
During the French Revolution, when French secularists destroyed many iconic Catholic pieces of history and art, it was saved and given to the archbishop of Paris, according to the cathedral.
On Monday, as firefighters battled flames at Notre Dame, the safety of the relics was unknown.
As the flames rage Archbishop Michel Aupetit of Paris, whose home church is the cathedral, issued a plea for his priests to pray.
"The firefighters of Paris are still fighting to save the towers of Notre-Dame de Paris. The frame, the roof, and the spire are consumed. Let us pray. If you wish, you can ring the bells of your churches to invite prayer."

US Democrats demand Trump tax returns by April 23

Donald Trump argues he cannot release his tax returns because they are being audited

House Democrats set new hard deadline of April 23 for federal tax agency to hand over Trump's tax records.

US congressional Democrats have given the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a final deadline of April 23 to hand over President Donald Trump's tax returns.

In letter on Saturday, Richard Neal, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, warned the IRS that failure to comply with his request for six years of Trump's individual and business returns would be interpreted as a denial - a move that could pave the way for a court battle.

The Trump administration has already missed an initial April 10 deadline for providing the tax records, which Neal first set when he made his request on April 3.

"I am aware that concerns have been raised regarding my request and the authority of the Committee. Those concerns lack merit," Neal said in his letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig. 

He argued that a 1920-era law saying the IRS "shall furnish" any tax return requested by Congress "is unambiguous and raises no complicated legal issues".

Democrats want Trump's tax returns as part of their investigations of possible conflicts of interest posed by his continued ownership of extensive business interests, even as he serves the public as president.

Trump has broken with decades of precedent by not voluntarily releasing his returns to the public during the 2016 presidential election. 

He claimed that he cannot release his tax returns because they are being audited, but the IRS has said this is no impediment to their release.

Steve Mnuchin, Trump's treasury chief who oversees the IRS, said Neal was "just picking arbitrary dates" in setting deadlines.

He told reporters it was more important to get the decision "right" to ensure the IRS would not be "weaponised" in a political dispute.    

"I'm sure we'll respond by that deadline, not going to make a commitment prematurely whether we'll be able to conclude a legal review by that deadline," Mnuchin said. "We have people working on it diligently."

On Saturday, Neal said the administration has no right "to question or second guess" his motivations.

"Concerns about what the Committee may do with the tax returns and return information are baseless," he said, giving the administration until 5:00pm (21:00 GMT) on April 23 to hand over the tax records.

"Please know that, if you fail to comply, your failure will be interpreted as a denial of my request," he wrote.

The president's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, told a House panel in February that he does not believe Trump's taxes are under audit.

Cohen said the president feared that releasing his returns could lead to an audit and IRS tax penalties

Khalifa Haftar, Libya’s strongest warlord, makes a push for Tripoli

But he faces stiff opposition and risks losing the territory he already holds.

This was supposed to be a rare moment of cautious optimism in Libya. On April 4th António Guterres, the un’s secretary-general, arrived in Tripoli, the capital, to prepare for a peace conference which, he hoped, would lead to long-delayed elections later this year. But hours after he arrived Khalifa Haftar, the warlord who controls much of the country, launched an offensive to seize the city. At times his self-styled Libyan National Army (lna) has reached within 10km or so of Tripoli’s centre. Dozens have been killed. Flights were suspended after General Haftar’s jets bombed the city’s only functioning airport. The conference has been cancelled. “The un is deeply engaged in negotiations for peace,” Mr Guterres said later. “We’re not always successful, I must confess.”

The general had long threatened to take Tripoli. Until now he was posturing. No one is quite sure why he chose this moment to move on the capital. Whatever his reasons, his offensive is starting to look like a big miscalculation. He would have entered the conference in an enviable position, holding most of Libya’s land and oil wells. Instead the lna is now bogged down on several fronts. The general risks losing not only the battle for Tripoli but many of his other gains as well.
