The workers who were attempting to deliver food to starving civilians in the besieged Gaza were killed by the Israelis.
Deaths of aid workers touch off fury inside Biden White House
WASHINGTON — An Israeli strike in Gaza that killed seven aid workers for the non-profit World Central Kitchen has touched off fury and indignation inside the White House, prompting President Joe Biden on Tuesday to release a public statement using a word he has rarely invoked over the course of the conflict that has been filled with endless tragedy: “Outraged.”The deaths of the workers who were attempting to deliver food to starving civilians in the besieged enclave – including one dual US-Canadian citizen – has raised the frustration for Biden and his top officials to a new level, a senior administration official told CNN.Biden’s statement Tuesday evening that mourned the deaths of the seven workers included some of the most fiery and blunt language from the president since...

Special Counsel Jack Smith arrives to give remarks on a recently unsealed indictment including four felony counts against former President Donald Trump on August 1, 2023, in Washington, DC
Special counsel blasts judge’s jury instruction request in Trump documents case
WASHINGTON — In perhaps prosecutors’ strongest rebuke yet to how Judge Aileen Cannon has handled the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, special counsel Jack Smith said in court filings late Tuesday evening that the judge had ordered briefings based on a “fundamentally flawed” understanding of the case that has “no basis in law or fact.”Smith’s team harshly critiqued Cannon’s request for jury instructions that embraced Trump’s claims that he had broad authority to take classified government documents and said it would seek an appeals court review if she accepted the former president’s arguments about his record-retention powers.In an unusual order last month, Cannon asked attorneys on the classified documents case to submit briefs on...

Israel draws fire for death of aid workers as charities pull out
JERUSALEM —Some of Israel's closest allies, including the United States, on Tuesday condemned the deaths of seven aid workers who were killed by airstrikes in Gaza — a loss that prompted multiple charities to suspend food deliveries to Palestinians on the brink of starvation.The deaths of the World Central Kitchen workers threatened to set back efforts by the US and other countries to open a maritime corridor for aid from Cyprus to help ease the desperate conditions in northern Gaza.President Joe Biden issued an unusually blunt criticism of Israel by its closest ally, suggesting that the incident demonstrated that Israel was not doing enough to protect civilians.“Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians,” he said,...

Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to Sanjay Singh in a money laundering case
Indian opposition MP Sanjay Singh gets bail in corruption case
NEW DELHI — India's Supreme Court has granted bail to an opposition MP and leader of Delhi's governing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in a money laundering case.Sanjay Singh was arrested in October in an investigation into the city's now-scrapped policies over alcohol sales.Singh, who denies the corruption allegations, had challenged his arrest in court.On Tuesday, the court observed that India's financial crimes agency did not recover any illegal funds from him."Fact of the matter is that money has not been recovered," it said and granted Singh bail.The court, however, dismissed a second plea by Singh accusing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of arresting him "illegally".Singh's release comes days after his colleague and Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind...

Huanchun Cao and his wife face a dilemma confronting so many of China's elderly
China's aging population: A demographic crisis is unfolding for Xi
By Laura BickerBEIJING — Huanchun Cao and his wife face a dilemma confronting so many of China's elderly — who will look after them?Ask 72-year-old farmer Huanchun Cao about his pension and he reacts with a throaty cackle.He sucks on his home-rolled cigarette, narrows his brow and tilts his head — as if the very question is absurd. "No, no, we don't have a pension," he says looking at his wife of more than 45 years.Cao belongs to a generation that witnessed the birth of Communist China. Like his country, he has become old before he has become rich. Like many rural and migrant workers, he has no choice but to keep working and to keep earning, as he's fallen through a weak social safety net.A slowing economy, shrinking government benefits and a decades-long...

Botswana, and other southern African countries, have too many elephants
Botswana offers to send 20,000 elephants to Germany
GABORONE — The president of Botswana has threatened to send 20,000 elephants to Germany in a political dispute.Earlier this year, Germany's environment ministry suggested there should be stricter limits on importing hunting trophies.Botswana's president Mokgweetsi Masisi told German media this would only impoverish people in his country.He said elephant numbers had exploded as a result of conservation efforts, and hunting helped keep them in check.Germans should "live together with the animals, in the way you are trying to tell us to", Masisi told the German newspaper Bild.The country is home to about a third of the world's elephant population — more than 130,000 — more than it has space for.Herds were causing damage to property, eating crops and trampling...

Oregon passes law recriminalizing drug possession
PORTLAND — Oregon has approved a state law that recriminalizes drug possession.The law rolls back an experimental policy — the most liberal drug measure in the US — that made possession for personal use a ticketed offense with a fine up to $100 (£76).The new legislation penalizes those possessing small amounts of drugs with probation, and up to 180 days in jail.The governor said the state still aims to provide a path for drug treatment, rather than punishing drug users.Tina Kotek, the Democratic governor, signed the bill on Monday. It goes into effect on Sept. 1.Rehabilitation and destigmatization was the intention of the original law, known as Measure 110, when it was passed in a 2020 voter measure, but a spike in the number of overdoses caused lawmakers and supporters to...
