Israeli military pulls out of Gaza's Netzarim corridor
As part of the ceasefire deal, Israel withdrew from a strip of land they had used to split Gaza into two parts. The Hamas militia celebrated the Israeli withdrawal from the Netzarim corridor as a victory.
Israel on Sunday completed its withdrawal from the Netzarim corridor of Gaza under the terms of the ceasefire agreement that Israel reached with the militant group Hamas.
The Netzarim corridor runs along 4 miles (6 kilometers) from the Israeli border to the Mediterranean sea. This strip of land, which bisects northern Gaza from the south, was used by Israel to deploy troops.
Israel's deployment in the corridor cut off Gaza's northern communities, such as Gaza City, from the southern part of the territory.
‘Many teachers don’t want to do this, but they’re trapped’: film shows extent of Putin indoctrination in Russian schools
Two years after he started documenting the effect of the Ukraine war on his pupils, Pavel Talankin reveals how it led to accolade – and exile from home
As Russian tanks advanced into Ukraine in February 2022, Vladimir Putin was waging a parallel battle on the home front – one fought not with weapons but with ideology, reaching deep into the nation’s classrooms.
In a high school in Karabash, a small industrial town in the Ural mountains, teacher Pavel Talankin knew he had to document it.
Almost overnight, the school – and the tight-knit community where the free-spirited Talankin, known as Pasha to his students, had embraced his role as a nonconformist educator – was overtaken by militarisation and war propaganda. As the school’s longtime videographer, Talankin was instructed by his superiors to document the implementation of the Kremlin’s new directive: shaping a generation steeped in ultra-nationalist views and ready to soon join the ranks of the army fighting in Ukraine.

From his office in the parliamentary building in the capital city of Greenland, Kuno Fencker can look out on the statue gazing out at the sea, a man of stone holding a shepherd’s staff in his right hand and a Bible under his arm. It is a depiction of the Danish-Norwegian missionary Hans Egede, measuring around two meters in height on a hilltop over the Bay of Nuuk.
Egede came to Greenland in 1721, having been tasked by the Danish king with colonizing the Inuit there. For many in Greenland, Egede represents the beginning of all evil, followed by centuries during which the country has remained a Danish crown colony.
