Police were forced to back down from a proposed ban on displaying images of children killed in Gaza at a Tel Aviv protest last month
Israeli reservists speak out against Gaza war as pressure on Netanyahu grows
JERUSALEM — Israel's war in Gaza grinds on, but opposition is growing.In recent weeks, thousands of Israeli reservists – from all branches of the military – have signed letters demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government stop the fighting and concentrate instead on reaching a deal to bring back the remaining 59 hostages being held by Hamas.Eighteen months ago, few Israelis doubted the war's logic: to defeat Hamas and return the hostages.For many, the January ceasefire and subsequent return of more than 30 hostages raised hopes that the war might soon end.But after Israel broke the ceasefire and returned to war in mid-March, those hopes were dashed."We came to the conclusion that Israel is going to a very bad place," Danny Yatom, a former head...

As the army chief, Gen Munir is the most powerful man in Pakistan today
Pakistan army chief's Kashmir remarks cause anger in India
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's army chief, General Asim Munir, is not known for seeking the spotlight.Yet in recent weeks, it has found him — not only in Pakistan, but across the border in India and in diplomatic capitals far beyond.His remarks on Kashmir — made just days before a militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir which killed 26 people — have reignited a debate over Pakistan's military stance and its role in rising regional tensions.Kashmir, which India and Pakistan claim in full but administer only in part, has been a flashpoint between the countries since they were partitioned in 1947.Though not directly linked to the violence, Gen Munir's words have been dissected and interpreted as a shift towards a more confrontational tone, both from him and the institution...

Donald Trump
Trump tells business chiefs he needs 'little bit of time' as US economy shrinks
LOS ANGELES — President Donald Trump has asked for more time on the US economy as it contracted for the first time in three years, stoking recession fears.He said the figure was misleading because companies had stockpiled imports ahead of his imposition of tariffs.Trump, however, said $8tn (£6tn) of inward investment had been promised, which he argued would restore American manufacturing prowess.The US economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.3%, the US Commerce Department said, a sharp downturn after growth of 2.4% in the previous quarter. It comes as Trump marks 100 days in office, with opinion polls indicating public discontent over his economic stewardship.Speaking on Wednesday afternoon at a White House event attended by business leaders, Trump blamed his Democratic predecessor,...

People in the toy business that the BBC spoke to said they had plenty of interest from other parts of the world besides the US
A defiant China looks beyond Trump's America
YIWU, China — "We don't care about sales to the United States," says Hu Tianqiang as one of his toy fighter jets flies past our heads.It's hard to hear him above the buzzing toy planes and miniature drones, an almost rhythmic backdrop to the cacophony of toys that surround him, all clamoring for the attention of buyers.Hu's stall, Zhongxiang Toys, sits inside the world's biggest wholesale market in the small Chinese city of Yiwu.It's a huge showroom of more than 75,000 shops where buyers come seeking just about everything, from twinkling Christmas lights and kitchenware to umbrellas and massage guns. It can take most of the day just to get around one department given each of them has an airport hangar's worth of goods on show.Yiwu is in the province of...

Harvard head apologizes as scathing reports on campus prejudice released
WASHINGTON — Harvard University President Alan Garber has apologized following the release of internal reports into antisemitic and anti-Muslim prejudice at America's oldest university.The reports included testimony from students who described feeling alienated and pressured to conceal their identity from their peers and educators.In response to the findings, Harvard pledged to review its academic offerings and admissions policies -- a key demand of the White House, which accuses the Ivy League institution of failure to stamp out campus antisemitism.Two taskforces were established to look into bias at Harvard in the aftermath of last year's pro-Palestinian protests over the Israel-Gaza war."I'm sorry for the moments when we failed to meet the high expectations we...
