ISLAMABAD — Shakoofa Khalili was waiting for her husband to return home with bread from the market when she heard their eight-year-old daughter scream from the balcony.The girl had seen police approach her father in the street outside their safe house in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad and ran to confront them.“(She) cried and grabbed the policeman’s hand begging him to let her father go,” Khalili told CNN, as she recounted what she thought was her worst fears coming true.The family fled Afghanistan in 2022 to escape the Taliban – militant fighters who filled a leadership vacuum left by the withdrawal of the US and its allies after a 20-year war.Now the family fears they’ll be deported to Afghanistan, following US President Donald Trump’s order to suspend the US Refugee...

UN chief warns against ‘ethnic cleansing’ after Trump’s Gaza proposal
NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s proposal for a US takeover of Gaza was met with anger and blunt rejection from regional allies, and a stern warning against “ethnic cleansing” from the head of the United Nations.It is vital to stay true to the bedrock of international law and avoid "any form of ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday.The exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people is about the right of Palestinians to simply live as human beings in their own land, Guterres told a UN committee meeting."We have seen the realization of those rights steadily slip farther out of reach. We have seen a chilling, systematic dehumanization and demonization of an entire people," he said in remarks at the 2025 session of...

Investigators had earlier last week said they had found evidence of a bird strike on the Boeing 737-800 plane
South Korea orders airports to install bird detection cameras
SEOUL — All South Korean airports will need to install bird detection cameras and thermal imaging radars, after an air crash in December last year killed 179 people.The rollout is set to happen in 2026.Investigators said last week that they had found evidence of a bird strike on the Boeing 737-800 plane — with feathers and blood stains found on both the plane's engines.An investigation into the crash, the deadliest on South Korean soil, is still ongoing but will focus on the role of the bird strike as well as a concrete structure at the end of the runway, which the plane slammed into after making an emergency landing."Bird detection radars will be installed at all airports to enhance early detection of distant birds and improve response capabilities for aircraft," said...

Scientists produce first kangaroo embryo using IVF
SYDNEY — Australian scientists have produced the world's first kangaroo embryo through in vitro fertilisation (IVF), a breakthrough they say could help save other species from extinction.Using specimens from eastern grey kangaroos, the researchers successfully injected a single sperm cell into an egg, but said achieving a live birth would require more work and "technical advancements".The feat provides important insights into marsupial breeding and could aid efforts to improve the genetic diversity of endangered species such as the koala, Tasmanian devil, northern hairy-nosed wombat and Leadbeater's possum, lead researcher Andres Gambini said.Australia houses the largest variety of marsupial mammals, but it also has the highest rate of mammal extinctions.The University...

BATUMI — "I will not bow to this regime.

Most of Gaza's 2.1 million population has been displaced by the 15-month war between Israel and Hamas
Palestinians and Arab states reject Trump's Gaza takeover proposal
RAMALLAH — The Palestinian president has said he strongly rejects President Donald Trump's proposal for the US to take over Gaza and permanently resettle the 2.1 million Palestinians living there."We will not allow the rights of our people... to be infringed on," Mahmoud Abbas stressed, warning that Gaza was "an integral part of the State of Palestine" and forced displacement would be a serious violation of international law.Hamas, whose 15-month war with Israel has caused widespread devastation, said Trump's plan would "put oil on the fire" in the region.The idea was also rejected by regional powers including Jordan and Egypt, which the US president wants to take in many of the displaced Gazans.Saudi Arabia said Palestinians would "not...

The late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding president, was widely viewed as a hero, but has become a target for critics of his daughter Sheikh Hasina
Protesters set fire to ex-Bangladesh PM's family home
DHAKA — Protesters in Bangladesh have vandalized and set fire to the former family home of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, as well as those of other members of her party.The unrest was sparked by news that Hasina would address the country via social media from India, where she has been in exile since a student-led revolt ousted her last year.The 77-year-old Hasina, who was in charge of Bangladesh for 20 years, was seen as an autocrat whose government ruthlessly clamped down on dissent.On Wednesday evening, an excavator smashed down the house of Hasina's late father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who is also Bangladesh's founding president. The structure had been repurposed into a museum.Hasina's father is widely viewed as an independence hero, but anger at his daughter has...
