Israeli navy attacks Yemen's Houthi-held Hodeida port in first direct strikes from sea
HODEIDA — Israel's navy said on Tuesday that it attacked docks in Yemen’s rebel-held port city of Hodeida, the first time that its naval forces have conducted strikes against the Iran-aligned Houthis.The Houthis announced the attack via their al-Masirah news channel.

Tensions flare in LA as Trump doubles National Guard deployment
LOS ANGELES — US President Donald Trump has deployed another 2,100 National Guard members and 700 US Marines, in what the authorities have dubbed Task Force 51 meant to "provide continuous coverage of the area" as unrest in Los Angeles continued into its fourth day.Tensions between Washington and California officials have grown as demonstrators took to the streets to protest a series of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests mostly targeting migrant workers in Los Angeles.The initially peaceful protests turned violent after heightened tensions, leading law enforcement to use tear gas and rubber bullets and shutting down the centre of Los Angeles as an "unlawful assembly area".Trump has since deployed some 2,000 US National Guard troops to maintain order...

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr testifying before the Senate in May
RFK Jr sacks entire US vaccine committee
WASHINGTON — US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, has removed all 17 members of a committee that issues official government recommendations on immunizations.Announcing the move in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, Kennedy said that conflicts of interest on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (Acip) were responsible for undermining trust in vaccinations.Kennedy said he wanted to "ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible."Doctors and health experts have criticised Kennedy's longstanding questioning of the safety and efficacy of a number of vaccines, although in his Senate confirmation hearing he said he is "not going to take them away."On Monday he said he was "retiring" all of the Acip...

World fertility rates in 'unprecedented decline', UN says
MUMBAI — Namrata Nangia and her husband have been toying with the idea of having another child since their five-year-old daughter was born. But it always comes back to one question: 'Can we afford it?' She lives in Mumbai and works in pharmaceuticals, her husband works at a tyre company. But the costs of having one child are already overwhelming - school fees, the school bus, swimming lessons, even going to the GP is expensive. It was different when Namrata was growing up. "We just used to go to school, nothing extracurricular, but now you have to send your kid to swimming, you have to send them to drawing, you have to see what else they can do." According to a new report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN agency for reproductive rights,...
