Greta Thunberg and other activists detained as Israeli military intercepts Gaza-bound aid ships
JERUSALEM — Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and other passengers aboard a fleet of Gaza-bound aid ships have been detained by the Israeli military after more than a dozen vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) were intercepted, sparking global outcry.The flotilla is trying to break Israel’s 18-year blockade of Gaza and get aid into the war-ravaged enclave using ships that set sail from ports across the Mediterranean. As of 3:30 a.m. local time Thursday, 30 GSF boats were still sailing and were about 46 nautical miles from Gaza, while 13 boats had been intercepted, GSF said.Flotilla organizers labelled Israel’s interception of the ships “an illegal attack” on humanitarians, while Israel said the activists were “not interested in aid, but in provocation.”The first...

Relatives of students missing in a boarding school collapse in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia, on September 30, 2025
Five students pulled alive from collapsed Indonesia school
SIDOARJO, Indonesia — A rescue team crouched under huge slabs of concrete and corrugated iron as they carefully slid 13-year-old Syailendra Haikal to safety from the twisted wreckage of a collapsed Indonesian boarding school; a brief glimmer of hope in the middle of a disaster.Haikal was taken to hospital with moderate injuries, authorities said. But as the search at the Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in Sidoarjo, about 420 miles east of Jakarta, entered its fourth day on Thursday, Indonesian authorities made the agonizing decision to move from rescue to recovery.Teams have for days meticulously tunneled under the rubble, crawling on their hands and knees searching for signs of life, knowing the unstable structure could again buckle upon them.Relief and despair have punctuated their...

EU leaders give 'broad support' for drone wall at Copenhagen summit
COPENHAGEN — EU leaders gathered in Copenhagen on Wednesday gave "broad support" to proposals to ramp up the development of drone and anti-drone technology and to use immobilised Russian assets to loan money to Ukraine."Leaders broadly supported initial priority flagship projects that will strengthen Europe's security, including the European drone wall and the Eastern Flank Watch," European Council President Antonio Costa told reporters at the end of the informal gathering in the Danish capital.Ahead of the meeting, which came after a series of airspace violations in Poland, Estonia, Romania, and Denmark, the European Commission had released a so-called Scoping Paper in which it outlined, among other ideas, four flagship projects it believes need to be financed...

The US Capitol Rotunda is seen empty on Capitol Hill on Wednesday
White House says layoffs 'imminent' with no end to shutdown in sight
WASHINGTON — The US Congress left town Wednesday without a solution to break its bitter impasse over government funding, with the shutdown now set to last until at least Friday when members return for more votes.But with both parties dug in, many believe it could last even longer than that.The White House is amplifying pressure on Democrats to cave, as President Donald Trump’s budget chief privately warned House Republicans on an afternoon conference call that mass layoffs would go into effect within the next two days, according to multiple people on the call. Russ Vought told the senators that layoffs would target agencies that don’t fit into the Trump administration’s priorities, the people said.So far, however, Democratic leaders show no signs of backing down in the shutdown...
