LONDON — Nigeria, Australia, Indonesia and a number of other countries have warned their citizens about traveling to the UK, as a spate of anti-immigrant riots grips cities across Britain.The UK’s worst social unrest in years was sparked by the stabbing deaths of three young girls in Stockport, northwest England, last week. Since then, anti-Muslim and anti-immigration extremists have been mobilized by a wave of disinformation about the killings, including false claims the attacker was an immigrant.Rioters attacked hotels used to house asylum seekers in two cities at the weekend, and clashed with police in several others, leading to hundreds of arrests.A number of countries have issued warnings in response, including a group of Muslim-majority nations.Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign...

JERUSALEM — Every day for two months, Michael Ofer Ziv spent hours watching grainy, black-and-white footage of the Gaza Strip from a tiny room across the border.As an operations commander, he was tracking Israeli forces inside Gaza and approving airstrikes.Every day, he said, his unit had a certain quota to fill.“They will tell us, today you have seven, today you have nine... you sometimes argue for more, but you will never fire less than you’re given,” he told CNN in an interview. CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for comment on his claims.One by one, buildings blew up on his screen like a hypnotic reel of destruction.At first, it was easy to forget that those images were real, and not just a video game playing on a screen. But the more he stepped out of that war room,...

HONG KONG — As Chinese scientists analyzed the soil samples that their lunar probe brought back from the moon, they realized something groundbreaking: There was water found along with minerals in the soil.Finding water on the moon is, on its own, nothing new. NASA and Indian spacecraft have spotted what they believe to be water on the moon’s surface, and Chinese scientists last year found water trapped in glass beads strewn across the moon.But this latest discovery, scientists say, is the first time water in its molecular form, H2O, has been found in physical samples – and, importantly, it was retrieved from a part of the moon where they’d previously thought water in that form couldn’t exist.Researchers closely inspected samples collected by China’s Chang’e-5 probe, which...

PENROSE, Colorado — A US funeral home where 190 decaying bodies were found has been ordered to pay $950m (£746m) to the families of the victims.The Return to Nature home, in the town of Penrose, Colorado, had given fake ashes to grieving relatives instead of their loved ones' remains.A judge ordered the payment in a civil case, but it's unlikely to be paid as the funeral home owners, Jon and Carie Hallford, had been in serious financial difficulties.Neither attended the hearings. Hallford is in custody, while his wife is out on bail.“I’m never going to get a dime from them, so, I don’t know, it’s a little frustrating,” Crystina Page, who hired the funeral home to cremate her son’s remains in 2019, told the Associated Press.Ms Page, who carried what she thought were...
