Peace calls mount amid conflict in DR Congo's key city
GOMA — There are growing international calls for peace talks to end the escalation of violence in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.The fate of the economic and trading hub Goma is still unclear. UN officials have said the situation is chaotic with fighting continuing in parts of the city.A Congolese government official has said the army is still in control of most of the regional capital, but M23 rebels who have attacked the city dispute that.Reports say at least 17 people have been killed and close to 400 wounded.On Tuesday, South Africa said that four more of its soldiers, who are in DR Congo as part of peacekeeping efforts, had died as a result of clashes with the M23.This brings the total number of South African casualties to 13.

The memo encompasses financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal
White House pauses federal grants and loans
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has paused grants, loans and other federal assistance, according to a leaked government memo verified by the CBS News.In the memo, the acting head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) calls on government agencies to ensure spending is consistent with Trump's priorities — and nods to a number of executive orders that the returning president has made.The full impact of the pause is not yet clear, although the memo specifies that Medicaid and Social Security benefits are not affected. It comes days after the US halted nearly all foreign aid.The move has been criticized by members of the rival Democratic Party, and could face legal challenges.The memo, signed by acting OMB chief Matthew Vaeth, calls on government agencies to temporarily...

President Trump vowed on the campaign trail to cut down on equal opportunity programmes and bring about major changes to the US military
Trump signs orders focused on reshaping US military
LONDON — US President Donald Trump has signed several executive orders focused on reshaping the US military.One order signed late on Monday bans diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the military. It will remove the use of race- or sex-based preferences in the armed forces, the Defense Department and the Homeland Security Department.Another reinstates more than 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get the Covid-19 vaccine.The White House added that a third executive order tasks officials with formulating a policy on transgender troops. The action does not immediately ban transgender service members.A fourth order mandates a process to develop an "American Iron Dome" — similar to the one used by Israel in the Middle East; while the White...

Sophiia Buhayova, 27, Adam Buhayov, 17 months, and Tetiana Tarasevych, 68, were all killed in a Russian bombing attack in Zaporizhzhia
In a split second, Russia wipes out three generations of a Ukrainian family
ZAPORIZHZHIA — Teddy bears – large and small — are clustered around the grave of Adam Buhayov as if keeping him company.But the 17-month-old is not alone. His mother Sophiia Buhayova, 27, is buried in the grave with him, in a bleak and windswept cemetery in Ukraine's southern city of Zaporizhzhia.Adam's great-grandmother, Tetiana Tarasevych, 68, is in the grave right beside them.All three were killed together on 7 November last year by a Russian attack in a war that has devoured Ukraine since 2022 – but which no longer dominates the international agenda.Some of Adam's last moments were captured by Tetiana in a video on her phone. The two of them were out on a walk with Adam's mum Sophiia. Blond-haired, blue-eyed Adam wears a red anorak and a woollen hat, with a...

Palestinians displaced from northern Gaza face the immediate challenge of finding shelter
'A long, long road ahead': Gaza rebuilds from zero
GAZA — For Gazans displaced for 15 months, the distance is not far – the Gaza Strip is a tiny place – but today's journey is just the start of a desperately uncertain future for this war-ravaged place.The scale of the looming humanitarian challenge is hard to comprehend."There are no facilities, no services, no electricity, no water, no infrastructure," Gazan journalist Ghada el-Kurd said, as she prepared to make her own way back north from Deir el-Balah, where she's been sheltering for months."We have to re-establish again from the beginning, from zero."The immediate needs – food and shelter – are starting to be addressed."Aid is flowing at levels we've not seen since the start of the conflict," Sam Rose from the UN's Palestinian...

DeepSeek a 'wake-up call' for US tech firms, Trump says
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has called the rise of Chinese company DeepSeek "a wake-up call" for the US tech industry, after the emergence of its artificial intelligence (AI) model triggered shockwaves on Wall Street.Shares in major tech firms such as Nvidia fell sharply, with the chip giant losing almost $600bn (£482bn) in market value.What has shaken the industry is DeepSeek's claim that its R1 model was made at a fraction of the cost of its rivals - raising questions about the future of America's AI dominance and the scale of investments US firms are planning.DeepSeek has become the most downloaded free app in the US just a week after it was launched.Responding to the news, Trump said the latest developments in China's AI industry may be "a...

Survivors of Auschwitz deliver warning from history as memories die out
AUSCHWITZ — Their numbers are dwindling but the voices of the Auschwitz survivors remain powerful."We were stripped of all humanity," said Leon Weintraub, 99, the oldest of four who spoke beside the notorious Death Gate at the Birkenau extermination camp.Marking 80 years since its liberation, world leaders and European royalty rubbed shoulders on Monday with 56 survivors of Hitler's genocide of European Jews."We were victims in a moral vacuum," said Tova Friedman, who described witnessing the horrors of Nazi persecution as a five-and-a-half-year-old girl clinging to her mother's hand.She described watching from her hiding place at a labour camp "as all my little friends were rounded up and driven to their deaths, while the heartbreaking cries of their...
