Cheaper Chinese imports have slowed down demand for viscose yarn made in India

India worried about Chinese 'dumping' as trade tensions with Trump escalate

NEW DELHI — The pace at 64-year-old Thirunavkarsu's spinning mill in southern India's Tamil Nadu state has noticeably slowed down.The viscose yarn – a popular material that goes into making woven garments – he produces, now sits in storage, as orders from local factories have dropped nearly 40% in the last month.That's because Chinese imports of the material have become cheaper by 15 rupees ($0.18; £0.13) per kilo and flooded Indian ports.With Donald Trump imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods going into the US, manufacturers in China have begun looking for alternative markets.India's textile makers say they are bearing the brunt of the trade tensions as Chinese producers are dumping yarn in key production hubs.While China is the leading producer of viscose...

Top UN court rejects Sudan's bid to sue UAE for genocide

THE HAGUE — The UN's top court has dismissed Sudan's case against the UAE accusing the Gulf state of complicity in genocide.Sudan alleged the UAE supported the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the Sudanese civil war, in which tens of thousands of people have died, forced millions from their homes and left many facing famine.The UAE categorically denied the accusations, branding the case "political theatre" and "a cynical publicity stunt".The International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that the case could not proceed because the UAE had opted out Article 9 of the Genocide Convention, which means that it cannot be sued by other states over genocide allegations.The court said that it lacked jurisdiction and was therefore "precluded by its...

JERUSALEM — Israel’s security cabinet voted Sunday to expand military operations in Gaza and approve a new framework for aid delivery, according to two Israeli officials, one of whom described the plan as involving the “conquest” of enclave.The vote came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory.One of the Israeli officials said the new plan for Israel’s war in Gaza involves “the conquest of territory and remaining there.” The Israeli military will displace the Palestinian population to southern Gaza while carrying out “powerful strikes” against Hamas, the official said.Over 2,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since mid-March when Israel launched a...

Mexican mayor arrested over alleged links to cartel training camp

MEXICO CITY — Prosecutors in Mexico have arrested the mayor of Teuchitlán in western Jalisco state as part of their investigation into a nearby cartel training site. The mayor, José Murguía Santiago, is suspected of colluding with the New Generation Jalisco Cartel (CJNG), which he has denied.
