Since Israel launched retaliatory strikes following a bloody assault by Hamas, the impoverished Gaza Strip has seen limited food, water and medicine, leading Palestinian-Americans to file lawsuits alleging double-standards on efforts to evacuate them. As Secretary of State Antony Blinken prepared a new visit to the region, Biden hailed progress and said to expect more Americans to cross through Rafah into Egypt "in the coming days." At the top of a speech in Minnesota, Biden said his administration... Читать дальше...

With the scores locked at 1-1 and the match looking destined for extra time, defender Gaus netted in the sixth minute of injury time to grab his team a famous victory. "When a first-division team like Bayern comes to Saarbruecken and loses, then we did something wrong," veteran Thomas Mueller told ARD after the match. Bayern were beaten by Holstein Kiel on penalties at the same stage three years ago, then thrashed 5-0 by Borussia Moenchengladbach in round two in 2021. The record 20-time winners...

The Fed's decision to keep its benchmark lending rate between 5.25 percent and 5.5 percent gives policymakers time to "assess additional information and its implications for monetary policy," the central bank said in a statement.

He added that the Fed, "is not thinking about... Читать дальше...

As the virus began to spread worldwide in March 2020, Johnson shared with officials a YouTube video of the dryer being used "to kill Covid", according to his former top aide Dominic Cummings.

It is examining the UK government's performance dealing with the virus... Читать дальше...

Quinton de Kock (114) and Rassie ven der Dussen (133) both compiled centuries in the Proteas' commanding 357-4 in Pune. New Zealand, only five days since narrowly falling short chasing 389 in a five-run defeat by Australia, collapsed to 190 all out against a powerful South Africa attack where Keshav Maharaj took 4-46 after the pacemen had done the early damage. This was New Zealand's third loss of the tournament, but victories over both Pakistan and Sri Lanka in their last two pool games in Bengaluru... Читать дальше...

Some pro-Israeli social media users are claiming that Palestinians are posting videos pretending to be injured by the bombing campaign carried out by Israel since October 7. On October 26, for example, pro-Israeli accounts started sharing claims that a Palestinian video maker had pretended to be injured. Their so-called proof was two videos – one said to show the man in a hospital bed and the next one, apparently filmed the next day, showing him in perfect health. It turns out, however, that the video of the injured man is from August 2023... Читать дальше...

Scientists proposed a novel idea on Wednesday that could solve two of the world's mysteries at once – one that passes over our heads every night, and one that sits far below our feet.

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne on Tuesday vowed a “merciless fight” against surging anti-Semitism after residents of the French capital discovered anti-Jewish graffiti on buildings in several districts.

Hundreds of thousands of undocumented Afghans living in Pakistan now face arrest and deportation after the government's deadline for them to leave voluntarily expired this Wednesday, November 1. Pakistan's interior minister justified his decision, taken in early October, by the number of Afghans involved in recent terror attacks in Pakistan. Some 200,000 Afghans have already left Pakistan voluntarily – albeit often reluctantly – ahead of the November 1 deadline. Our correspondents Shahzaib Wahlah and Sonia Ghezali report.

Tournament hosts India, bidding for a third World Cup title, are the only unbeaten side left in the 10-team event heading into their pool match against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede on Thursday. Tendulkar, a member of the India side that defeated Sri Lanka in the 2011 World Cup final at the Wankhede, was keen not to add to the pressure on a team captained by Rohit Sharma, another talented Mumbai batsman. But after several dynamic India displays -- including a 100-run thrashing of struggling champions England last time out -- he said... Читать дальше...

Actors on strike are dressed up for Halloween as they continue to picket in front of movie studios across Los Angeles. The strikers are however choosing their costumes with care this year as they avoid dressing up as characters from the studios’ major TV shows or movies.

Islamabad issued an ultimatum in early October to 1.7 million Afghans it says were living illegally in Pakistan: leave by November 1 or face arrest and expulsion. The government has blamed recent militant attacks on Afghans living in Pakistan.
