Israel’s army raids Jenin in West Bank, Gaza ceasefire holding
- At least eight Palestinians have been killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli army raid on Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, according to health officials.
- Israeli settlers have carried out out attacks and acts of aggression across the occupied West Bank, while dozens of Palestinians have been arrested in military raids.
- The Gaza Strip has seen a significant influx of humanitarian aid entry but challenges remain as many warehouses have been destroyed in Israeli attacks during the war.
- Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 47,107 Palestinians and wounded 111,147 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken captive.
Israel forces tear up roads, block ambulances in Jenin
The Israeli military, along with [domestic security agency] Shin Bet, is conducting a wide-scale, large military operation in Jenin and its refugee camp; bulldozers were seen in the daylight entering the camp and tearing up the roads leading up to it.
At least eight Palestinians have been killed and dozens of others injured, including children and medical staff.
Whenever there is an Israeli raid anywhere in the occupied West Bank, they tear up the roads, they destroy the infrastructure along the way, and in this case, they were shooting people leading up to the camp, and that’s why we’re seeing so many gunshot injuries.
A third of the Arctic’s vast carbon sink now a source of emissions, study reveals
Critical CO2 stores held in permafrost are being released as the landscape changes with global heating, report shows
A third of the Arctic’s tundra, forests and wetlands have become a source of carbon emissions, a new study has found, as global heating ends thousands of years of carbon storage in parts of the frozen north.
For millennia, Arctic land ecosystems have acted as a deep-freeze for the planet’s carbon, holding vast amounts of potential emissions in the permafrost. But ecosystems in the region are increasingly becoming a contributor to global heating as they release more CO2 into the atmosphere with rising temperatures, a new study published in Nature Climate Change concluded.
More than 30% of the region was a net source of CO2, according to the analysis, rising to 40% when emissions from wildfires were included. By using monitoring data from 200 study sites between 1990 and 2020, the research demonstrates how the Arctic’s boreal forests, wetlands and tundra are being transformed by rapid warming.
Turkey: Death toll in ski resort fire rises to 66
Some guests died after jumping out of windows to escape the fire. The hotel was close to capacity with guests taking advantage of the school holidays.

South Korean president who declared martial law claims he ‘believes in liberal democracy’
Yoon issues first public remarks at constitutional court hearing into whether he should be stripped of office
South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol told judges he was a “firm believer of liberal democracy” as he appeared for his impeachment trial for the first time since imposing a shock martial law decree.
Mr Yoon appeared for the constitutional court hearing to decide whether to remove him from office permanently or reinstate him after he was impeached by the National Assembly.
The president became the first sitting leader of the country to be arrested last week under a separate criminal investigation on insurrection charges for imposing martial law on 5 December and throwing the country into political turmoil.
Panama turned its canal into a money-maker. History shows why Trump’s threats are sounding the alarm bells
Analysis by Patrick Oppmann, CNN
Born from “gunboat diplomacy,” the Panama Canal is under threat from US saber rattling once again.
More than 100 years after the construction of the engineering marvel that linked the Atlantic and Pacific oceans – and 25 years after the canal was returned to Panama by the US – the waterway faces renewed intimidation from an American president.
US President Donald Trump in his inaugural address on Monday vowed to wrest the canal back. “We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made and Panama’s promise to us been broken,” Trump said, claiming that Panama overcharges the US Navy to transit the canal.
