Ireland is not just about emerald hills, ancient castles, and cosy pubs; it is also an outstanding destination for sports tourism. Every year, an increasing number of running enthusiasts from the UK and around the world travel here to combine their holidays with participation in large-scale sporting events.

Several major road events have been confirmed in Dublin: the Great Ireland Run / National 10K on 12 April 2026, the Irish Runner 5K on 16 May, the Irish Runner 5 Mile on 21 June, and the Irish Runner 10 Mile on 19 July. In the autumn, the Irish Life Dublin Marathon will take place on 25 October 2026. If you are planning a trip and want to add a bit of excitement, we recommend checking out this Betfair review — an excellent resource for those interested in sports betting and platform overviews.

Spring Starts: Opening the Season in Phoenix Park

Spring in Ireland is the perfect time for running. The weather becomes milder, and nature awakens, creating picturesque backdrops for competitions. One of the main events at the start of the season is traditionally the Great Ireland Run, which will take place on 12 April 2026. This 10-kilometre race attracts both professional athletes and amateurs. The route passes through the famous Phoenix Park in Dublin — one of the largest urban parks in Europe. Participants run past historical monuments, including the residence of the President of Ireland (Áras an Uachtaráin) and the Papal Cross, and may even encounter herds of wild deer roaming freely across the park.

Following the April start, the Athletics Ireland Race Series offers participants the chance to test their limits over a shorter distance. The Irish Runner 5K will be held on 16 May 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity for beginners to join the running community, and for experienced runners to improve their speed over the five-kilometre distance.

Summer Challenges: Building Up the Distance

Summer months in Ireland are rarely exhaustingly hot, making them comfortable for middle-distance running. The race series continues, offering participants a gradual increase in workload.

On 21 June 2026, the Irish Runner 5 Mile (approximately 8 kilometres) will take place. This event serves as an excellent transitional stage between short sprints and more serious distances. Just a month later, on 19 July 2026, runners will face the Irish Runner 10 Mile (approximately 16 kilometres). Participating in the entire race series (5K, 5 Mile, and 10 Mile) is a popular challenge among local and visiting athletes, allowing for systematic preparation for autumn marathons and half-marathons.

For those interested not only in sports but also in the entertainment industry, it is worth noting that Ireland strictly monitors compliance with gambling regulations. The newly established Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) ensures transparency and safety for all market participants. You can find out more about the rules and licensing on the regulator’s official website at www.grai.ie.

Autumn Triumph: The Dublin Marathon

The culmination of the running season in Ireland is rightfully considered the Irish Life Dublin Marathon, which will take place on 25 October 2026. It is the fifth-largest marathon in Europe, renowned for its incredible atmosphere and spectator support throughout the entire 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometres).

The marathon route passes through the historic centre of Dublin, picturesque suburbs, and green parks. The course is considered relatively flat, making it attractive for those looking to set a personal best. It is important to note that due to the high popularity of the event, registration for the marathon is conducted via a ballot system, so planning your participation and submitting an application must be done well in advance.

Summary Table of Major Dublin Races 2026

Running tourism in Ireland is a unique opportunity to combine a passion for sports with exploring the rich culture and history of this amazing country. Whether you choose the spring “10K” in Phoenix Park or decide to tackle the autumn marathon, the memories of racing on the Emerald Isle will stay with you for a long time.

The next fight in the Iran war is likely going to be the Pentagon’s request for $200 billion to keep our military in tip-top shape, not only to complete the mission in Iran, but also to maintain President Trump’s policy of peace through strength. We want the best for our men and women in the services. Soldiers, sailors, airmen. They must have everything they need, today, tomorrow, and frankly forever.

Yet you can bet the Democrats will use this war financing request for their anti-war propaganda and will seek to block this crucial funding bill. I want to pause here before talking about Ways and Means to get the money for our military. We should not forget the chilling narrative brought back by the special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, after the last set of talks with Iran. Essentially, they bragged to Mr. Witkoff and his partner Mr. Jared Kushner that they had 460 kilograms of 60 percent-enriched uranium. Right there, that ended the talks because they would never give it up.

But here’s the point: when you’re at 60 percent enrichment, you can bring it to 90 percent in seven to 10 days, according to Mr. Witkoff and many other analysts. And the 460 kilograms of enriched uranium would be enough to create 11 nuclear bombs. That’s how close Iran is. And that’s because so many presidents before Mr. Trump neglected to do anything about Iran’s nuclear advances.

Now Democrats might say the Iranians don’t have the delivery system. Really? Well, they can deliver that nuclear bomb to neighboring Israel, very quickly. Or to our allies throughout the Middle East. Or to the underbelly of Europe. Whether they are capable of producing an intercontinental ballistic missile is unknown, but there are a lot of estimates out there that it will be much shorter than generally assumed. Why risk any of that?

And of course, we are seeing Iran using shorter term missiles against oil and gas-producing countries right next door. Or bottling up the Strait of Hormuz and threatening the global economy. And since the early 1980s, let’s not forget, our State Department has classified Iran as the largest state sponsor of terrorism. And of course Iran has been waging war against the United States for 47 years, death to America, remember that? Not to speak of death to Israel. The little Satan and the big Satan. That’s how they see us. Let’s not forget that either.

This Democratic argument that there was no imminent threat has always been a bunch of phony balderdash. And we must not deny funding that may well be necessary to complete the mission in Iran.

Now, as important as this Pentagon request is, because the anti-war Democrats will probably all vote against it in the Senate with perhaps Senator John Fetterman’s exception, the GOP is not going to get 60 votes for the appropriation. And that’s why I believe it must be done as a reconciliation bill which will require only 50 votes, plus the vice president.

Speaker Mike Johnson and the House Budget Chairman, Jodey Arrington, have already moved to prepare a reconciliation bill. So far, Senate leadership has shown no enthusiasm for it. But I’m here to tell you it is the only way you’re going to get the necessary military spending. And the GOP will have to put its nose to the grindstone just like it did about a year ago, and put together a great reconciliation bill. There will be spending offsets, waste, fraud, and abuse cutbacks, plenty of room for some entitlement reforms. Perhaps even some supply side pro-growth tax reforms, but the most important issue will be our national security, completing the mission in Iran, and maintaining peace through strength.

One more point, the all-important SAVE America voting rights bill, which frankly will not get 60 votes in the Senate for passage, can be inserted into a reconciliation package. Or at least we should try. Because proof of citizenship, photo ID cards, and other aspects will lay down national rules that must be enforced, and that will require money.

My guess is the Department of Homeland Security would be the appropriate election monitoring agency, just as securing the border required a significant fiscal expansion, so will enforcing the voting rights bill. So I’m here to tell you that the cleverest minds in Congress should put their heads together and generate a strong reconciliation package that will keep our military might and maintain proper voting laws to uphold the greatest democracy in the history of history.

SYDNEY — Australia’s banking sector remains highly concentrated in 2026, with the “Big Four” banks — Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac), National Australia Bank (NAB) and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) — controlling the majority of total assets, deposits and market share. Recent data from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) for January 2026 and market updates as of mid-March show CBA solidifying its position as the nation’s largest lender by total residents’ assets, overtaking Westpac in some rankings amid economic pressures and profit challenges.

The Big Four dominate not only by assets but also by market capitalization on the ASX, where they rank among Australia’s most valuable companies. Together, they hold over 70% of domestic financial institution assets and continue to drive the sector’s performance despite rising interest rates, cost-of-living strains and regulatory scrutiny.

Here are the five largest banks in Australia in 2026, ranked primarily by total residents’ assets (per APRA January 2026 data) with market cap context:

1. Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) Total residents’ assets: A$1,199.571 billion (approximately A$1.2 trillion) Market capitalization: A$288.24 billion (March 2026)CBA reclaimed the top spot in The Banker’s 2026 country rankings for Australia, surpassing Westpac as the largest lender by total assets amid challenging conditions. The bank, founded in 1911, serves millions with retail, business and institutional services. Its strong home loan portfolio and digital banking innovations have fueled resilience, though profits face pressure from higher funding costs. CBA’s ASX performance remains robust, making it Australia’s most valuable listed company.
2. Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) Total residents’ assets: A$1,139.950 billion Market capitalization: A$139.65 billionWestpac, established in 1817 as the Bank of New South Wales, held the No. 1 position in prior years but slipped in 2026 rankings. The bank offers comprehensive services across personal, business and wealth management. Recent earnings reflect sector-wide headwinds, but its large mortgage book and regional presence keep it a core player.
3. National Australia Bank (NAB) Total residents’ assets: A$988.544 billion Market capitalization: A$143.35 billionNAB, formed in 1981 from mergers, ranks third by assets but second by market cap in some March 2026 snapshots. It focuses heavily on business banking and has shown strong earnings in recent reports. NAB’s performance in 2026 has drawn praise for navigating economic uncertainty effectively.
4. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) Total residents’ assets: A$765.972 billion Market capitalization: A$113.12 billionANZ, dating to 1835, maintains a significant presence in Australia and New Zealand. Its assets trail the top three but remain substantial. The bank has emphasized Asia-Pacific growth and digital transformation, though domestic mortgage competition remains fierce.
5. Macquarie Group Limited Market capitalization: A$76.24 billion (often ranked fifth by market cap)While not always in the top five by total assets (which focus on domestic retail/residents’ figures), Macquarie frequently appears in broader rankings due to its investment banking and infrastructure focus. Its specialized operations in commodities, green energy and global markets set it apart from the retail-heavy Big Four. Macquarie has gained market share in certain lending areas, challenging the majors.

The Big Four’s dominance stems from historical mergers, strong retail networks and regulatory barriers that limit new entrants. They control over 70% of the mortgage market and a similar share of deposits, though challengers like Macquarie, ING and regional banks (Bendigo & Adelaide, Bank of Queensland) nibble at edges.

In 2026, Australian banks have benefited from a record surge in share prices earlier in the year, with the sector up 11% in some periods amid solid earnings. However, threats loom: declining returns, competition from fintechs and potential regulatory changes on fees and lending standards.

CBA’s leadership by assets and market cap underscores its scale, but the sector’s concentration raises questions about competition and systemic risk. Investors view the Big Four as stable havens, with their combined market value forming a significant portion of the ASX 200.

As economic conditions evolve — with inflation, housing affordability and global factors in play — these banks’ strategies in digital banking, sustainability and customer experience will shape their future rankings.

Dr. Fritz Baumgartner is a cardiothoracic surgeon, educator, and medical ethics scholar based in Los Angeles. His career reflects a clear focus on patient care, technical excellence, and the deeper purpose of medicine.

Raised by immigrant parents who valued faith, discipline, and service, Dr. Baumgartner developed an early interest in medicine after a serious illness in his family. He went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude in Biology from Loyola Marymount University, earning the Karl Kadner Biology Award. He later completed his MD at UCLA School of Medicine, followed by surgical training at Harbor-UCLA and a cardiothoracic fellowship at the University of British Columbia.

In the mid-1990s, he served as Acting Head of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. There, he led complex surgical cases, including advanced cardiac procedures and high-risk trauma operations. His work in a county hospital setting exposed him to some of the most severe and advanced disease presentations.

Alongside his clinical work, Dr. Baumgartner has built a strong reputation in education. He has trained residents, fellows, and physician assistants, and received Preceptor of the Year honours in 2022. He also founded the Surgery 101 Technical Skills Boot Camp, offering a practical introduction to surgery for students.

His academic work focuses on the Hippocratic Oath and medical ethics. He continues to advocate for a patient-first approach, grounded in both science and moral responsibility.

Inside the Career of Dr. Fritz Baumgartner: Surgery, Ethics, and Purpose

Q: What first drew you to medicine?

I was about nine years old. My mother became very ill during pregnancy. I remember thinking that I wanted to help people like her. I made a promise to myself that I would spend my life helping the sick. That decision stayed with me.

Q: How did your upbringing shape your approach to your career?

My parents were immigrants. My mother grew up during the war in Germany. She told us stories about fear and survival. Faith was very important in our home. We were not wealthy, but we had strong values. That shaped how I see medicine. It is about service, not status.

Q: You trained at UCLA and Harbor-UCLA. What stood out during those years?

The intensity. At Harbor-UCLA, you see advanced disease and serious trauma. Patients often come in late. You have to act quickly and make difficult decisions. It forces you to focus on what matters most.

Q: You later became Acting Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery. What was that experience like?

It was demanding. We handled complex cardiac and thoracic cases daily. Aortic dissections, bypass surgeries, lung cancer resections. You are responsible for outcomes and for leading the team. It teaches discipline and clarity.

Q: Can you share a case that stayed with you?

One was a patient with a gunshot wound to the pulmonary hilus. That injury is often fatal. We were able to save the patient with a trauma pneumonectomy. It required quick thinking and teamwork. Those moments stay with you.

Q: You have also worked within the VA system. What did that involve?

I led the cardiac surgery programme at the Wadsworth VA for a period. I also directed a thoracoscopic surgery training programme. It was a chance to help develop surgical techniques and teach others.

Q: Education seems to be a major part of your work. Why is that important to you?

Medicine is passed down. You learn from those before you, and you teach those after you. I have worked with residents, fellows, and physician assistant students for many years. Teaching keeps you sharp and grounded.

Q: What led you to create the Surgery 101 Technical Skills Boot Camp?

I wanted to make surgery more accessible to students. Many programmes start with theory. I reversed it. Students learn hands-on skills first. That builds excitement. Then they are more engaged with the science behind it.

Q: You have written about the Hippocratic Oath. Why does it matter today?

It defines the purpose of medicine. It reminds us that the patient comes first. Modern systems can become complex. The Oath brings clarity. It is a moral anchor.

Q: How do you view the relationship between faith and science?

They are not in conflict. Truth is consistent. Science explains how things work. Faith helps guide why we do what we do. In medicine, both are important.

Q: What advice would you give to future surgeons?

Stay focused on the patient. Learn your craft well. Work hard. But do not lose sight of why you chose medicine. That purpose will guide you through difficult moments.

ADELAIDE, Australia — South Australians go to the polls Saturday, March 21, 2026, in a state election that pits the popular incumbent Labor government against a fragmented opposition, with national attention focused on the surprising surge of One Nation and the potential for a historic Labor landslide.

Premier Peter Malinauskas seeks a second term after a strong first four years marked by major infrastructure wins and event coups, while the Liberal Party grapples with leadership changes and collapsing support. Polls indicate Labor is on track for a commanding victory, but the real intrigue lies in One Nation’s rise and what it means for the future of conservative politics in the state.

Here are five essential things to know about the 2026 South Australian state election:

1) Election Date and Voting Details The election is set for Saturday, March 21, 2026, to elect all 47 members of the House of Assembly and 11 of the 22 seats in the Legislative Council. The South Australian Electoral Commission reports record early voting turnout since it began March 14, with more than 450,000 early votes cast in the first week — a sharp increase from previous elections as restrictions on in-person early voting were lifted.

Key dates include writs issued Feb. 21, nominations closing March 2, and polling day running from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Voters can cast ballots at designated centers, with postal, mobile and overseas options available. The commission emphasizes that every vote counts in what could be a high-turnout contest.

2) Labor’s Path to a Landslide Victory Premier Peter Malinauskas, who led Labor to power in 2022 by defeating one-term Liberal Premier Steven Marshall, enjoys sky-high approval ratings in the 60-67% range across multiple polls. Recent surveys from Newspoll, YouGov, Resolve and Roy Morgan show Labor’s primary vote between 35-44%, with two-party preferred leads of 59-41 or higher against the Liberals.

Malinauskas has campaigned on housing affordability, health infrastructure, cost-of-living relief and major projects like the North-South Corridor, Torrens to Darlington upgrades and securing events such as LIV Golf, Gather Round and MotoGP. Labor holds 29 seats and appears poised to retain them all while making gains, potentially sweeping metropolitan Adelaide and expanding into regional areas.

3) Liberal Party in Crisis The Liberal opposition, led by relatively new leader Ashton Hurn since late 2025, faces a potential wipeout. Polls place the Liberals at 14-20% primary support — a catastrophic drop from 35.7% in 2022. Leadership instability has plagued the party, with multiple changes since Marshall’s 2022 defeat, including stints under Vincent Tarzia and David Speirs (who faced legal issues unrelated to politics).

The Liberals have pushed tax relief, stamp duty abolition for first-home buyers and spending cuts, but internal chaos and federal-level disruptions have eroded voter confidence. Analysts warn the party could lose most or all metropolitan seats, leaving a diminished rural presence.

4) One Nation’s Dramatic Surge The biggest story of the campaign has been One Nation’s polling explosion, with primary support reaching 19-28% in surveys — far ahead of the Liberals in many cases and second only to Labor. Led nationally by Pauline Hanson and featuring former Liberal Cory Bernardi as a key figure in SA, the party has capitalized on dissatisfaction with major parties, promising affordable energy via coal and nuclear policy reversals, lower immigration and cost-of-living measures.

Federal figures like Barnaby Joyce have boosted One Nation’s profile, predicting strong results. While unlikely to win many lower house seats due to preference flows and concentrated support in rural areas, One Nation could secure multiple Legislative Council spots and influence outcomes through preferences. Experts call it a “major scare” for both major parties and a test of populist politics in Australia.

5) Key Issues Shaping the Vote Cost of living, housing affordability and health system pressures top voter concerns, according to polls and campaign focus. Labor has emphasized building more homes and infrastructure investment, while avoiding heavy emphasis on past issues like ambulance ramping. The Liberals target economic management and incentives, but struggle to cut through.

Other factors include environmental concerns (such as algal blooms), though they rank low. One Nation’s energy and immigration stances resonate in regional areas, where Liberal support has eroded. The campaign has been relatively calm, but the protest vote against the major parties could reshape the parliament long-term.

As polling day arrives, the caretaker period is in effect, and all eyes are on turnout and preference distributions. Labor’s dominance seems assured, but One Nation’s performance could signal broader national shifts. Results will begin flowing Saturday evening, with counting continuing into following days.

South Australia’s 2026 election, once expected to be routine, has become a barometer for voter disillusionment and the viability of populist alternatives in a two-party system under strain.

A California jury on Friday concluded that Elon Musk misled Twitter investors ahead of his $44 billion acquisition of the social media giant in 2022.

Jurors in federal court in San Francisco found on Friday that Musk intentionally misled Twitter shareholders when he tweeted the social media network, which was later renamed X, had too many fake accounts and tried to back out of the deal.

Musk has on multiple occasions chosen to battle shareholders in court rather than settle, including in a 2023 trial concerning his electric car company Tesla and litigation over his $139 billion Tesla pay package.

He won both cases. Musk is now also in talks to settle a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission civil lawsuit accusing him of violating federal law by waiting too long in 2022 to disclose his initial purchases of Twitter so he could scoop up more before investors caught on.

The current trial in San Francisco began on March 2. The lawsuit covers investors who sold Twitter stock between May 13 and Oct. 4, 2022.

SYDNEY — Netflix viewers in Australia are binge-watching a diverse mix of new releases and returning favorites in March 2026, with prehistoric documentaries, live-action anime adaptations, heartfelt romances and period dramas topping the charts.

As of mid-March, streaming data from Netflix’s official Tudum rankings, FlixPatrol daily trackers and industry reports highlight five standout series dominating the Australian Top 10 TV list. These shows reflect a blend of fresh premieres that landed early in the month and evergreen hits boosted by new seasons or renewed interest.

Here are the five most popular Netflix series in Australia right now, based on viewership trends, days in the Top 10 and audience buzz through late March 2026:

1) The Dinosaurs: Season 1 This four-part Netflix documentary series, which premiered March 6, has surged to the No. 1 spot on Australia’s TV chart in recent days. Narrated with stunning CGI recreations, it explores the rise, dominance and extinction of dinosaurs, appealing to families, science enthusiasts and fans of natural history content.

The series quickly climbed rankings after launch, holding strong positions on FlixPatrol and Tudum data for the week of March 9-15. Viewers praise its educational yet entertaining format, with high rewatch value for younger audiences. It’s part of Netflix’s push into high-production documentaries this month, and its top ranking underscores Aussies’ appetite for informative programming amid a busy streaming slate.

2) ONE PIECE: Season 2 The live-action adaptation of the iconic anime returned with Season 2 on March 10, rocketing to No. 2 on the Australian chart. Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew continue their Grand Line adventures, facing new foes like Marine Captain Smoker in this candy-colored pirate epic.

Critics and fans lauded Season 1’s faithful yet accessible take on the source material, and early buzz suggests Season 2 delivers even bigger set pieces and character moments. Its rapid ascent reflects strong loyalty from anime and adventure fans Down Under, where the franchise has a dedicated following. Days in the Top 10 continue to climb as word-of-mouth spreads.

3) Virgin River: Season 7 The long-running romantic drama dropped new episodes March 12, propelling it to No. 3 on Australia’s most-watched list. Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) navigate love, loss and small-town life in this comforting series based on Robyn Carr’s novels.

Season 7 picks up after major life changes, with familiar faces returning amid fresh storylines. Its consistent performance highlights the show’s enduring appeal as cozy escapism, especially popular among viewers seeking emotional, character-driven stories. It has held steady in the Top 10 for weeks, benefiting from binge-watch momentum.

4) Bridgerton: Season 4 The Regency-era sensation remains a powerhouse at No. 4, with the latest season (including recent additions) drawing massive audiences. Focused on new leads amid the ton’s scandals, balls and romances, Bridgerton continues to captivate with lavish production, steamy moments and sharp social commentary.

Though not a March premiere, fresh episodes and ongoing cultural buzz keep it in heavy rotation. Australian viewers, who have embraced the series since its 2020 debut, contribute to its global dominance. Tudum data shows it racking up high view hours, cementing its status as a perennial favorite.

5) Vladimir: Limited Series This new romantic dramedy, starring Rachel Weisz as a professor entangled in an obsessive crush on colleague Vladimir (Leo Woodall), premiered March 5 and quickly landed in the Top 10. Blending humor, tension and psychological depth, it draws from Julia May Jones’ novel and features strong supporting turns from John Slattery and Jessica Henwick.

Its fresh premise and acclaimed cast propelled it into rankings shortly after release, with viewers praising Weisz’s nuanced performance. As a limited series, it offers complete viewing in one go, making it ideal for March binge sessions. It rounds out the top five with strong early momentum.

Other notable mentions in the broader Top 10 include “Dynasty: The Murdochs” (a buzzy four-episode docuseries released March 13), “Mark Rober’s CrunchLabs” (family-friendly science content), “Heartland” (long-running Canadian drama) and “The Night Agent” (thriller holdover).

March’s lineup has been packed, with additions like “Heartbreak High” Season 3 (Australia’s own teen drama finale, arriving later in the month), “War Machine” (a high-profile film but boosting related buzz) and various reality and docuseries. The month’s releases — from pirate adventures to dino deep dives — have kept subscribers engaged amid autumn weather encouraging indoor viewing.

Netflix Australia’s charts show a healthy mix of originals, returning hits and niche favorites, with family-oriented and escapist content leading the way. Data from FlixPatrol and Tudum (covering periods like March 9-15 and daily snapshots) confirm these five as the clear standouts in viewership.

As March progresses, expect shifts with upcoming finales like “Heartbreak High” Season 3 and any late-month surprises. For now, dinosaurs, pirates and Regency romance rule Australian screens, proving Netflix’s broad appeal continues to thrive Down Under.
