Israel launches strikes on Yemen a day after Houthi strike near Tel Aviv airport

SANAA — At least one person was killed and 35 more wounded after a wave of Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen's Red Sea province of Hodeida, according to the area's Houthi-run health ministry.The strikes came a day after the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a missile that hit Israel’s main airport.On Sunday, the Houthis — who claim they are targeting Israel in support of Palestinians — launched a missile from Yemen that struck an access road near Israel's main airport, Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion, injuring four people.This is the first time a Houthi missile has come anywhere near Tel Aviv's urban area since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on 7 October 2023. The rockets from Yemen have mostly been intercepted, although some have penetrated Israel’s missile...

Under Home Office plans, people from countries such as Pakistan, Nigeria and Sri Lanka may find it more difficult to come to the UK to work and study

UK visa applications for some nationalities could be restricted

LONDON — Visa applications from nationalities thought most likely to overstay and claim asylum in the UK could be restricted under a new government crackdown.Under Home Office plans, first reported in the Times, people from countries such as Pakistan, Nigeria and Sri Lanka may find it more difficult to come to the UK to work and study.Ministers believe there is a particular problem with those who come to the UK legally on work or study visas and then lodge a claim for asylum - which if granted, would allow them to stay in the country permanently.A Home Office spokesperson said: "Our upcoming Immigration White Paper will set out a comprehensive plan to restore order to our broken immigration system."It is not clear which nationalities are most likely to overstay their visas as...

Friedrich Merz reacts after he was not elected new Chancellor in the first voting process at the parliament Bundestag in Berlin

Germany's chancellor hopeful Merz fails to secure majority in Bundestag vote

BERLIN — Friedrich Merz narrowly lost the first round of voting Tuesday to become Germany's next chancellor, in a surprise setback for the CDU party leader.Merz, who's been the favorite to become chancellor since his party won the federal election in February, secured 310 votes — six votes less than what was needed to secure a majority in the Bundestag.Merz losing the vote on Tuesday marks the first time in the federal republic's history that an incoming chancellor has failed to secure the majority of votes after winning an election and securing a successful coalition agreement.It is also a personal disappointment for Merz, who made it clear that he expected to easily secure a majority in parliament, given that his CDU and its coalition partners, the center-left SPD, have...

Major airlines are avoiding Pakistan’s airspace as tensions with India simmer

WASHINGTON — Multiple major airlines are avoiding flying over Pakistan as relations with neighbor India crater in the wake of a recent tourist massacre, the latest geopolitical flashpoint to disrupt global travel.Air France said it has suspended flying over the South Asian country until further notice because of the “recent evolution of tensions between India and Pakistan” in a statement to CNN.The airline is “adapting its flight schedule and flight plans to and from certain destinations,” the French flag carrier said, adding some routes will require longer flight times, it said.Germany’s flag carrier Lufthansa also confirmed to Reuters that it was “avoiding Pakistani airspace until further notice.”The travel disruptions come two weeks after militants massacred 26...

Himanshi Narwal (left) bid an emotional farewell to her husband, who was killed in the Pahalgam attack

How Kashmir attack victim's widow went from symbol of tragedy to trolling target

NEW DELHI — Two weeks ago, the photograph of a woman sitting motionless beside her husband's body went viral across Indian social media.It captured a moment of unspeakable grief — one that came to symbolize the 22 April militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in which 26 civilians were killed.The woman in the photo was Himanshi Narwal, whose husband, a 26-year-old naval officer, was among the victims. The couple, who had been married for less than a week, were on their honeymoon when Vinay Narwal was shot dead.But within days, Ms Narwal, who had been portrayed as the face of the tragedy, found herself at the centre of a hate campaign.It started last week when she urged people not to target Muslims or Kashmiris as emotions ran high across the country.Survivors of the attack...

Hamas says 'no point' to talks as Israel plans expanded Gaza offensive

GAZA — A senior Hamas official has said there is "no point" in further talks on a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal after Israel said it would expand its ground offensive and occupy Gaza indefinitely.Bassem Naim told the BBC the Palestinian armed group would not engage with new proposals while Israel continued what he called its "starvation war".Israel says its objective is the return of hostages still held by Hamas and its "dismantling and decisive defeat".Israeli officials said on Monday that the plans involved displacing the majority of Gaza's 2.1 million population, seizing all of the territory, and taking control of humanitarian aid after a two-month blockade.They also said the offensive would not begin until after US President Donald...

Israel vows to escalate war with new plan to ‘conquer’ Gaza

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the population of Gaza will be displaced to the south after his security cabinet approved an expanded military operation in the enclave that a minister described as a plan to “conquer” the territory.The vote on Sunday came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory.“One thing will be clear: there will be no in-and-out,” Netanyahu said in a Monday video message posted on X. “We’ll call up reserves to come, hold territory — we’re not going to enter and then exit the area, only to carry out raids afterward. That’s not the plan. The intention is the opposite.”“There will be a movement of the...

Cheaper Chinese imports have slowed down demand for viscose yarn made in India

India worried about Chinese 'dumping' as trade tensions with Trump escalate

NEW DELHI — The pace at 64-year-old Thirunavkarsu's spinning mill in southern India's Tamil Nadu state has noticeably slowed down.The viscose yarn – a popular material that goes into making woven garments – he produces, now sits in storage, as orders from local factories have dropped nearly 40% in the last month.That's because Chinese imports of the material have become cheaper by 15 rupees ($0.18; £0.13) per kilo and flooded Indian ports.With Donald Trump imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods going into the US, manufacturers in China have begun looking for alternative markets.India's textile makers say they are bearing the brunt of the trade tensions as Chinese producers are dumping yarn in key production hubs.While China is the leading producer of viscose...
