Gaza health ministry denies manipulating death toll figures
JERUSALEM — At al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Alam Hirzallah resigns himself to a grim task: registering the deaths of the wife and two children of his grieving cousin.His family brought the bodies here on an electric rickshaw or tuk-tuk. They found them in their house in eastern Gaza City after Israeli shelling hit the family home. Asma Hirzallah, Mayar, 5, and Abdullah, 3, were killed."The hospital asked for their full names and ID numbers," explains Alam, referring to the numbers all Palestinians are given in a population registry administered by Israel."They gave us a paper to confirm they were martyred and told us to come back for the death certificate. Now we don't know where to go to bury them as the cemeteries are in areas under Israeli control."At least...

London to host fresh Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks
LONDON — Diplomats from the UK, France, Germany, Ukraine and the US will hold fresh talks in London on Wednesday aimed at securing a ceasefire in the three-year war between Ukraine and Russia.The talks come amid growing speculation that Russia might be willing to halt its invasion along current front lines in return for significant concessions.The pace of diplomatic efforts to end the war is quickening but there is little clarity about where they are heading or whether they will succeed.US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, had been expected in London but they pulled out, sending Trump's Ukraine envoy, Gen Keith Kellogg, instead.On Tuesday evening Rubio spoke to UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy about what he hoped would...

Trump nominated Powell to lead the Fed during his first term in the White House
Trump says he has 'no intention of firing' Fed boss
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump says he has "no intention of firing" Jerome Powell after repeatedly criticizing the head of the Federal Reserve.But he added that he would like Powell to be "a little more active" when it comes to cutting interest rates.Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump also said he is optimistic about improving trade relations with China.Last week, the president intensified his criticism of the Fed chief, calling him "a major loser". The comments sparked a selloff of stocks, bonds and the US dollar, but financial markets have since been recovering from those losses.The latest remarks came after the director of the National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said on Friday that Trump was looking into whether it would be...

Trump says China tariffs will ‘come down substantially,’ hinting at potential U-turn
HONG KONG/WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has signaled a potential U-turn on his trade war with China, saying the high tariffs on Chinese goods will “come down substantially, but it won’t be zero.”Trump’s remarks, made at a White House news event Tuesday, appear to mark a rhetorical climbdown after weeks of tough posturing and tit-for-tat retaliation that sent tariffs on China beyond a staggering 145%.“145% is very high and it won’t be that high,” Trump said in a question-and-answer session with reporters in the Oval Office. “It won’t be anywhere near that high. It’ll come down substantially. But it won’t be zero.”Trump made the comments when asked about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks earlier in the day that the high tariff rates between the...
