‘They scream in hunger’ - How Israel is starving Gaza
For three days, Al Jazeera followed three families in Gaza to document how they are coping with hardly any food.
Maysoon al-Nabahin squeezes out the last bit of cartoned cheese onto a freshly baked piece of bread, knowing it will be the only thing her family of eight will eat that day.
Umm Muhammed, as she's known, fled from a school in Bureij where she, together with her husband and six children, were sheltering after Israeli forces destroyed their home in east Bureij in central Gaza.
The 45-year-old now lives in the crowd of tents around Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah further south. She’s a petite woman, her face etched with worry, looking older than her years.
‘I noticed nothing strange’: suspect’s colleagues express shock at Moscow attack
Limited details have emerged about background of Muhammadsobir Fayzov and three other Tajik men accused of carrying out atrocity
Former colleagues and clients at the small barber shop where Muhammadsobir Fayzov once worked were stunned when they saw the news.
They knew the 19-year-old as a promising, hard-working stylist, and saw no signs that he and three other Tajik gunmen would be accused of committing last Friday’s bloodbath at a concert city hall in Moscow.
“He was regarded as a good barber … I noticed nothing strange about him,” said Yamina Safiyeva, the owner of the barber shop outside Moscow where Fayzov worked three months before the attack, which killed 139 people.
Germany to set up border controls for the UEFA Euro 2024
As European countries like France raised terror alert levels after the attack on Moscow, Germany's interior minister said border security will be bolstered ahead of this summer's European Football Championship.
Germany will introduce temporary controls at all its borders for the European Football Championship this summer, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told the Rheinische Post newspaper on Tuesday.
The measures come in the wake of the terror attack in Moscow on Friday.
"We will carry out temporary border controls at all German borders during the tournament in order to prevent possible perpetrators of violence from entering the country," Faeser told the newspaper.
"This is necessary to provide the best possible protection for this major international event," added the minister.
Migrant transfers from Paris ahead of Olympics anger local mayors
Mayors in rural and small-town France are increasingly angry over the transfer of migrants from the capital to their communities, which they believe is linked to clean-up efforts ahead of the Paris Olympics.
Serge Grouard, the right-wing mayor of Orleans in central France, complained Monday about the arrival of up to 500 homeless migrants in his town of 100,000 people without his prior knowledge.
"It has been proved that every three weeks, a coach arrives in Orleans from Paris, with between 35-50 people on board," he told reporters, adding that there were rumours it was to "clean the deck" in the capital ahead of the Olympics in July and August.
Each new arrival is offered three weeks in a hotel at the state's expense, but is thereafter left to fend for themselves, Grouard explained.
Japan approves plan to sell fighter jets to other nations in latest break from pacifist principles
By MARI YAMAGUCHI
Japan's cabinet OK'd a plan to sell future next-generation fighter jets to other countries on Tuesday, its latest step away from the pacifist principles the country adopted at the end of World War II.
The controversial decision to allow international arms sales is expected to help secure Japan's role in a year-old project to develop a new fighter jet together with Italy and the UK, but it's also part of a move to build up Japan's arms industry and bolster its role in global affairs.
For now, Tokyo says that it doesn't plan to export co-developed lethal weapons other than the new fighters, which aren't expected to enter service until 2035.
Julian Assange staves off extradition to US for now, UK court rules
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has fended off the threat of immediate extradition to the United States after the High Court in London asked the US for more assurances.
US authorities say Assange, 52, put lives at risk by publishing secret military documents and have for years been seeking his extradition on espionage charges.
At a two-day hearing last month, Assange sought permission to appeal the UK’s 2022 approval of his extradition, arguing the case against him was politically motivated and that he would not face a fair trial.
