Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. It will figure prominently in the catalogue of extraordinary near-misses — a few inches difference and Donald Trump would likely not have survived Saturday’s assassination attempt by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Trump is not the first incumbent or former U.S. president to have narrowly escaped would-be assassins — and luck or chance has often played a part, sometimes more so than bodyguards or the Secret Service. In February 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt survived an attempt on his life while giving a speech before his inauguration. The shots were off target — more…

For at least 3,500 years, dingoes have been Australia’s top terrestrial predator. And in current times, they are one of the continent’s most iconic but controversial animals. Dingoes hold significant cultural value, including a long connection with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Dingoes also play a crucial ecological role, helping to regulate the population of native animals such as kangaroos, and feral animals such as rabbits and cats.
