Aid vessel heading to Gaza rescues four Libyan migrants in Mediterranean Sea
CATALAN — A ship carrying activists to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid rescued four migrants on Thursday after they had jumped into the sea from another vessel to avoid being picked up by Libyan authorities.The vessel Madleen, which is operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was alerted by the European Union's Frontex border control agency and arrived at the location in the Mediterranean where it found 30-40 people on a "boat that was rapidly deflating."As the Madleen launched its own inflatable rescue boat, a Libyan coast guard vessel approached at high speed, the coalition said."To avoid being taken by the Libyan authorities, four people jumped into the sea, and began desperately swimming toward the Madleen,'' which rescued them.The Freedom Flotilla...

JERUSALEM — Israeli forces have recovered the bodies of two Israeli-Americans taken back to Gaza as hostages during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, the Israeli military says.Judi Weinstein Haggai, 70, who was also a Canadian citizen, and her husband Gadi Haggai, 72, were murdered by gunmen from the Mujahideen Brigades group when they attacked Kibbutz Nir Oz, a statement said.Their bodies were found in the southern Khan Younis area of Gaza overnight and brought back to Israel for forensic identification.There are now 56 hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza, at least 20 of whom are believed to be alive.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he and his wife sent their condolences to the families of Judi and Gadi Haggai."Our hearts grieve over...

North Korea launches warship after failed attempt earlier
SEOUL — North Korea has launched a warship two weeks after it was damaged during an earlier launch attempt, in an incident that drew harsh criticism from the country's leader Kim Jong Un.The 5,000-ton destroyer, which was restored to balance earlier this week, was launched on Thursday and is now moored at a pier, state-run news agency KCNA said.The ship is expected to be fully restored before a ruling party meeting sometime this month, KCNA added.Kim, who witnessed the warship tipping over during the first launch attempt, criticized the incident as a "criminal act" that "severely damaged the [country's] dignity and pride".It was the result of "absolute carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism", he said.At least four officials...

Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts
Judge halts Trump’s proclamation to suspend new international student visas at Harvard
CAMBRIDGE — A federal judge has halted President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to block international students from coming to Harvard University.The temporary restraining order issued late Thursday by US District Judge Allison Burroughs comes hours after the university urged the judge to step in on an emergency basis to block a proclamation Trump signed a day earlier that suspends international visas for new students at the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university. Foreign students make up roughly a quarter of the school’s student body.The brief order from Burroughs said if she didn’t intervene now, the school would “sustain immediate and irreparable injury before there is an opportunity to hear from all parties” over the challenge to Trump’s edict. The judge said her...

Pentagon diverting key anti-drone technology from Ukraine to US forces in the Middle East
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon notified Congress last week that it will be diverting critical anti-drone technology that had been allocated for Ukraine to US Air Force units in the Middle East, according to correspondence obtained by CNN and people familiar with the matter.The move reflects the US’ shifting defense priorities under President Donald Trump – toward the Middle East and the Pacific – and the fact that US stockpiles of some defense components are becoming increasingly stretched.The technology, proximity fuzes for the rockets Ukraine uses to shoot down Russian drones, was redirected from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) to Air Force Central Command on orders from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to the correspondence dated May 29 and sent to the...

Trump and Musk feud erupts into political warfare as former allies turn rivals
WASHINGTON — A bitter political feud between US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk exploded into full public view this week, ending an unusual alliance that once saw Musk holding significant influence in the Trump administration.Speaking from the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump expressed sharp disappointment in Musk’s recent criticisms of his economic policies.He dismissed the idea that Musk’s support had been decisive in last year’s election, and accused him of turning against the administration because of Republican efforts to end electric vehicle tax credits — a move that could impact Tesla directly.“Elon and I had a great relationship,” Trump said, notably using the past tense. “I’m very disappointed in him.”Musk, for his part, responded on his...

US Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea
US vetoes UN call for unconditional Gaza ceasefire
NEW YORK — The US has vetoed the UN Security Council's draft resolution calling for an "unconditional and permanent" ceasefire in Gaza.The other 14 members voted in favor of the document, which also demanded the release of all hostages and the lifting of humanitarian aid restrictions.The US Ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, said the resolution would "undermine diplomatic efforts" to reach a ceasefire, adding that the UN has not labeled Hamas as a terrorist organization. Hamas is described as such by the US, UK and the EU."We would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza," she said.It comes amid growing concern over the distribution of aid in Gaza, with more than two million people at risk...

Boeing-DOJ deal 'repugnant', says lawyer for victims' families
NEW YORK — A lawyer for 16 families of victims of a fatal Boeing 737 Max crash, has told the BBC that a deal between the firm and the US Justice Department (DOJ) is "morally repugnant".Boeing said it agreed to pay $1.1bn (£811.5m) to avoid prosecution over two crashes that killed 346 people, in a filing on Wednesday.Sanjiv Singh, counsel for family members of some of the victims of a 2018 crash in Indonesia, says the deal allows the firm to "sidestep true criminal accountability".Boeing has previously said: "We are deeply sorry for their losses, and remain committed to honoring their loved ones' memories by pressing forward with the broad and deep changes to our company".The deal includes the aviation giant paying $444.5m to families of crash victims....

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has suspended for an initial six months the entry of foreign students seeking to study or participate in exchange programs at Harvard University.The US president issued the proclamation on Wednesday, citing "national security" concerns and declaring it "detrimental" to US interests to continue allowing foreign students at the institution.Harvard has responded by calling the order "retaliatory" and emphasized it would continue to protect its international students, according to Reuters news agency.Trump's announcement is a further escalation of an ongoing legal row with one of the US's most prestigious universities after Harvard refused to yield to a series of White House demands in April.Wednesday's order comes after a...
