Germany summons China’s ambassador after military aircraft lasered in Red Sea
BERLIN — Germany's Foreign Office said on Tuesday that it has summoned the Chinese ambassador to protest after a Chinese warship used a laser against a German military aircraft in the Red Sea."The endangerment of German personnel" and the "disruption of the operation" are "completely unacceptable," the ministry said in a statement on social media platform X on Tuesday.The maritime surveillance aircraft was part of the EU mission Aspides, which is intended to better defend civilian ships against attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels.It was lasered earlier this month "without any reason or prior contact" by a Chinese warship that had been encountered several times in the area, the German Defence Ministry said.It landed safely at a base in...

US President Donald Trump welcomes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House in April
Netanyahu plays into Trump’s hopes for Middle East peace, nominates him for a Nobel Prize
WASHINGTON — When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House Monday for dinner, he came bearing what has become the ultimate host gift for President Donald Trump: a letter nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize.The award has become Trump’s ultimate fixation, one he says is well deserved for his efforts to end conflicts around the globe, including the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.A lasting resolution to that 21-month conflict will depend, in part, on Netanyahu’s willingness to accept a deal that stops the fighting entirely – something Trump planned to press him on during Monday’s dinner in the White House Blue Room.Before the meal was served, however, Netanyahu was quick to burnish Trump’s peace-making abilities, even as negotiators were still...

Indonesian volcano spews massive ash cloud as it erupts again
JAKARTA — Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki has begun erupting again - at one point shooting an ash cloud 18km (11 miles) into the sky - as residents fled their homes once more.There have been no reports of casualties since Monday morning, when the volcano on the island of Flores began spewing ash and lava again. Authorities have placed it on the highest alert level since an earlier round of eruptions three weeks ago.At least 24 flights to and from the neighbouring resort island of Bali were cancelled on Monday, though some resumed on Tuesday.The initial column of hot clouds that rose at 11:05 (03:05 GMT) Monday was the volcano's highest since November, said geology agency chief Muhammad Wafid."An eruption of that size certainly carries a higher potential for danger,...

Methane gas kills 12 Turkish soldiers in Iraq operation
ISTANBUL — Twelve Turkish soldiers have died after being exposed to methane gas while searching a cave in northern Iraq, the Turkish Ministry of National Defence said.At least 19 personnel were exposed to the gas during the search and clear operation on Sunday, and immediately taken to hospital. By Monday, 12 had died, the ministry said.President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he received the news with "great sorrow" and extended his condolences to the soldiers' families and to the Turkish Armed Forces.Methane gas is not directly toxic, but can be deadly as it can become suffocating, especially in tight, enclosed spaces.It remains unclear why the cave contained enough methane gas to make it lethal.A farewell ceremony for some of the soldiers killed was held at an airport in the...

Poland reinstates border controls with Germany and Lithuania
WARSAW — Poland has reinstated border controls with neighboring Germany and Lithuania in response to similar measures imposed by Berlin.The changes, which Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced last week, came into effect on Monday.“We remain advocates for freedom of movement in Europe, but the condition is the shared will of all neighbors, symmetrical and united action, to minimise the uncontrolled flow of migrants across our borders," Tusk said.In a social media post from his ministry, Poland's Interior Minister Tomasz Siemoniak explained that the controls were aimed at "those involved in the illegal smuggling of migrants across the border"."Ordinary travellers have nothing to fear," he added.The reinstated controls will target buses, minibuses, cars...
