Gaza truce talks stall despite second Netanyahu-Trump meeting
JERUSALEM — Negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar on a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal have stalled after three days of indirect talks, a Palestinian official has told the BBC.The official said key sticking points included how aid would be distributed during the ceasefire and Israeli troop withdrawals.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting the US and hopes of a deal had been raised as he had an unscheduled second meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday.US special envoy Steve Witkoff also said they were now "down to one" unresolved issue at the Doha talks and that he was hopeful of an agreement on a 60-day ceasefire by the end of this week.The choreography of meetings between Trump and Netanyahu has given the impression that the...

Desperate Gaza doctors cram several babies into one incubator as fuel crisis reaches critical point
JERUSALEM — Doctors in Gaza say they were forced to cram multiple babies into one incubator as hospitals warned that fuel shortages are forcing them to shut off vital services, putting patients’ lives at risk.The UN has warned that the fuel crisis is at a critical point, with the little supplies that are available running short and “virtually no additional accessible stocks left.”“Hospitals are rationing. Ambulances are stalling. Water systems are on the brink. And the deaths this is likely causing could soon rise sharply unless the Israeli authorities allow new fuel in – urgently, regularly and in sufficient quantities,” the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.An 11-week Israeli blockade on humanitarian aid earlier in the year pushed the...

USAID review raised ‘critical concerns’ over Gaza aid group days before $30 million US grant
WASHINGTON — An internal government assessment shows USAID officials raised “critical concerns” last month about a key aid group’s ability to protect Palestinians and to deliver them food – just days before the State Department announced $30 million in funding for the organization.A scathing 14-page document obtained by CNN outlines a litany of problems with a funding application submitted by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group established to provide aid following an 11-week Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. The United Nations human rights office says that hundreds of Palestinians have since been killed around private aid sites, including those operated by GHF.The assessment flags a range of concerns, from an overall plan missing “even basic details” to a...

Families anxious over safety of Indians kidnapped in Mali
DELHI — A week after three Indians were kidnapped in Mali, their families say they still have no information about their whereabouts and are concerned about their safety.India's foreign ministry said the men, who worked in a cement factory in Mali, were "forcibly taken" by a group of "armed assailants" last Tuesday.The Mali government is yet to comment, but the abductions took place on a day an al-Qaeda linked group - Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimin (JNIM) - claimed it had carried out several attacks in the African country.According to government data, some 400 Indians live in Mali, a country that India has had trade relations with since the 1990s.Last week's incident comes after five Indian citizens were kidnapped in Niger, in April during an attack...

SEOUL — South Korea has repatriated six North Koreans who accidentally drifted into South Korean waters earlier this year. All six had consistently expressed their desire to go back, Seoul's Ministry of Unification said.Two of the North Koreans had veered into southern waters in March and stayed on for four months - the longest period recorded for non-defectors.The other four are sailors who drifted across a disputed maritime border between the North and the South in May.This is the first such return under the presidency of South Korea's Lee Jae-myung, who had campaigned on improving inter-Korea ties. The two countries unsuccessfully tried to co-ordinate the return for months.There have been several previous cases of North Koreans sailing unintentionally into the South. They...

Students clash with the police during a protest in Dhaka on July 18, 2024
Ex-Bangladesh leader authorised deadly crackdown, leaked audio suggests
DHAKA — A deadly crackdown on student-led protests in Bangladesh last year was authorised by then prime minister Sheikh Hasina, according to audio of one of her phone calls verified by BBC Eye.In the audio, which was leaked online in March, Hasina says she authorised her security forces to "use lethal weapons" against protesters and that "wherever they find [them], they will shoot".Prosecutors in Bangladesh plan to use the recording as crucial evidence against Hasina, who is being tried in absentia at a special tribunal for crimes against humanity.Up to 1,400 people died in last summer's unrest, according to UN investigators. Hasina, who fled to India, and her party reject all charges against her.A spokesperson for her Awami League party denied the tape showed any...

Climate change tripled death toll of latest European heatwave, says study
BRUSSELS — An estimated 1,500 people across 12 European cities were killed by human-caused climate change during the latest heatwave, a quickfire study has found.Burning fossil fuels has made heatwaves up to 4°C hotter in Europe, tripling the number of heat-related deaths that occurred between 23 June and 2 July, according to scientists at Imperial College London and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.It is the first time that a rapid analysis - a type of study that measures the influence of climate change on an extreme weather event - has been carried out for a heatwave. Since the analysis covers only a dozen cities, researchers estimate that the true death toll across Europe stretched into the tens of thousands.“It shows that climate change is an absolute game changer...
