Divided by a border, united by fear: Kashmiris pick up the pieces after India-Pakistan step back from the brink

MUZAFFARABAD — Mohammad Iqbal was working the night shift at a power plant when he got a frantic call from his family saying artillery shells were exploding around their home.“I told them all to hunker down in one room together on the ground floor and hopefully things would become okay by morning,” he told CNN.But dawn brought no relief from the shelling that would continue for four days as India and Pakistan fought their most intense conflict in decades, raising fears of an all-out war.Iqbal, 47, lives near the town Poonch in India-administered Kashmir, a stone’s throw from the de-facto border with Pakistan, an area of pine-clad foothills and flowery meadows, backdropped by towering, icy peaks.But the idyll is illusory – Kashmir is one of the world’s most militarized regions...

Trump announces plan to lift punishing sanctions on Syria

RIYADH — President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he plans to lift sanctions on Syria following last year’s fall of the Assad regime, saying the move will “give them a chance at greatness.”The removal of the sanctions is a significant win for the Syrian government led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, who seized power after the stunning defeat of the Assad regime in December. It is likely to be seen as a blow by the Israeli government, which escalated military and territorial advancements in Syria in the wake of the Assad collapse.Trump said in remarks to a Saudi investment forum in Riyadh that he made the decision after discussing with it Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well as with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan..“Syria, they’ve had their share of travesty, war,...

Israel denying food to Gaza is 'weapon of war', UN Palestinian refugee agency head says

GAZA — How do you measure misery? For journalists, the usual way is to see it, to feel it, to smell it.Beleaguered Palestinian colleagues in Gaza are doing that, still doing invaluable reporting at great risk to themselves. More than 200 have been killed doing their jobs.Israel does not allow international journalists into Gaza.Denied the chance of eyewitness reporting – one of the best tools of the job – we can study, from a distance, the assessments of aid organizations operating in Gaza.Pascal Hundt, deputy director of operations at the International Committee of the Red Cross said last week that civilians in Gaza faced "an overwhelming daily struggle to survive the dangers of hostilities, cope with relentless displacement, and endure the consequences of being deprived of...

Xi’s speech comes a day after the US and China announced they would drastically roll back tariffs on each other’s goods for an initial 90-day period

Bullying only leads to self-isolation, Xi says day after US-China tariff truce

HONG KONG — Chinese leader Xi Jinping says “bullying” and “hegemonism” will only backfire, in a veiled reference to the United States just a day after a temporary truce was agreed in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies.Xi chose to deliver this message, which paints China as a global leader and defender of free trade, at a summit of Latin American and Caribbean officials — including the presidents of Brazil, Colombia and Chile — in Beijing on Tuesday. The region has become increasingly caught in the middle of a tussle for influence between the US and China for influence.“There are no winners in tariff wars or trade wars. Bullying or hegemonism only leads to self-isolation,” Xi said, reiterating a warning he has made throughout the trade showdown with...
