MOR

A group of hostages' families, known as the Tikvah Forum, said on Monday that the parents of Eitan Mor had been told by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the government was working on a deal that would see 10 hostages freed - down from 11 or 12.

Kenny Macdonald - a legitimate whisky cask broker who runs his own company, Dram Mor – said there were other "good guys" operating in the industry.

Iain Taylor, who lectured at Scotland's Gaelic national centre - Sabhal Mòr Ostaig - in Skye for 20 years, said English language nicknames were replacing more traditional ones.

Mr Taylor said: "I stayed in a township in South Uist and one of my neighbours was Ceitidh Ruadh - Red-haired Katie - and down the road there was Iain Mòr - Big or Tall John."

“We had Mor, who I stole, but he had to go home, so it’s just gonna be the two of them,” she said to the “Fields of Gold” singer.
