David Gritten
At least 15 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, have been killed in an Israeli strike while queuing for nutritional supplements in front of a clinic in central Gaza, a hospital says.
Video from al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al-Balah showed the bodies of several children and others lying on the floor as medics treated their wounds.
US-based aid group Project Hope, which runs the clinic, said the attack was a blatant violation of international law. The Israeli military said it struck a "Hamas terrorist" and regretted any harm to civilians.
Concern that Ukraine will be split up casts shadow over reconstruction talks
Leaders meet in Rome amid forecasts that more than a third of rebuild costs could fall to Russia if Ukraine concedes land
Thu 10 Jul 2025 15.55 BST
Ever-escalating Russian drone attacks and the concern that Ukraine will be split up under a future peace plan have cast a shadow over a meeting of European leaders to plan for the eventual reconstruction of the country.
The conference is the fourth in this format and is being attended by Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Poland’s Donald Tusk. It comes at a time of unprecedented pressure on the Ukrainian economy as Vladimir Putin widens his targets across Ukraine, deploying record numbers of long-range drones.
South Korea's ex-President Yoon detained again
Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is back in a solitary cell after a court approved a new arrest warrant. He is facing an investigation over his declaration of martial law last year.
South Korea's disgraced ex-President Yoon Suk-yeol returned to prison on Thursday as prosecutors investigate accusations of insurrection after he declared martial law last December.
He is being held in a solitary cell at the Seoul Detention Center, where he spent 52 days earlier in the year before his release four months ago on technical grounds.
The Seoul Central District Court said it approved a second warrant because of concerns Yoon could seek to destroy evidence.
US sanctions UN expert investigating Israeli human rights abuses in Gaza
The US on Wednesday said it is sanctioning Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, in the Trump administration's latest bid to punish critics of Israel's war in Gaza. Albanese, a human rights lawyer, has repeatedly described Israel's bombardment of the Palestinian enclave as a "genocide".
The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it is issuing sanctions against an independent investigator tasked with probing human rights abuses in the Palestinian territories, the latest effort by the United States to punish critics of Israel's 21-month war in Gaza.
The State Department's decision to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, follows an unsuccessful US pressure campaign to force the international body to remove her from her post. It also comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington this week to meet with President Donald Trump and other officials about the war in Gaza and more.
Iran urges UN nuclear watchdog to drop 'double standards'
‘No one is safe’: Civilians, foreigners caught in escalating Mali violence
As army and armed groups clash, Indian nationals are taken ‘hostage’, raising concerns Mali’s crisis may resonate beyond the region.
The Kayes region, which borders Senegal and is vital to Mali’s economy, had remained largely untouched by the violence from armed groups that has rocked the country for several decades.
But that changed when armed men waged a string of coordinated attacks on military installations in several Malian towns last week, after which the country’s armed forces launched a counterattack that it said killed 80 fighters.
