India imposes curfew in Ladakh after statehood protests turn violent
DELHI – Indian security forces have imposed a curfew in Leh, the capital of the Himalayan region of Ladakh, after at least four people were killed in violent clashes between police and protesters demanding statehood for the federal territory.Dozens were also injured and an office of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) set on fire in the unrest on Wednesday.The government blamed activist Sonam Wangchuk, who's been leading protests, of fomenting violence, a claim he denies.A mountainous desert with a Muslim-Buddhist population, Ladakh lost its semi-autonomy in 2019 when the BJP government split it from the former Indian-administered state of Jammu and Kashmir, imposing direct rule on both.Ladakh has a population of about 300,000 people and borders China and Pakistan.

Yemen drone attack injures more than 20 in Israeli city of Eilat
JERUSALEM — At least 22 people were injured, including two seriously, after a drone fired from Yemen hit the city of Eilat in southern Israel on the Red Sea coast on Wednesday, Israeli officials said.Video and images from emergency responders and the Israeli military appear to show the drone landing near stores and restaurants. The drone was fired during the final hours of the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, which marks the Jewish new year.The Iran-backed Houthis have repeatedly launched drones and ballistic missiles at Eilat and other areas in southern Israel, but these launches are frequently intercepted. It’s unclear how Wednesday’s drone penetrated Israel’s air defenses.“Interception attempts were made, and search and rescue teams are operating in the area where the report was...

Trump demands investigation into alleged ‘triple sabotage’ at the United Nations
NEW YORK – US President Donald Trump is demanding an investigation following what he described as a “triple sabotage” during his visit to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, taking to social media to claim that a series of technical mishaps, involving a stopped escalator, a teleprompter failure and audio issues, were deliberate acts meant to undermine him. “A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Wednesday laying out the series of events. During his speech on Tuesday morning in New York, Trump opened by referencing the technical issues, saying, “These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.” The...

NATO divided on how to respond to repeated Russian incursions
BRUSSELS – NATO allies are divided over whether the alliance should make it a policy to shoot down Russian jets that violate NATO’s airspace, with some countries including the US, Poland and Baltic nations signaling that future violations should be met with force, while others, including Germany, urge more restraint.The issue came to a head during an emergency meeting of the North Atlantic Council on Tuesday, which was called by Estonia after three Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace last week for 12 minutes.Representatives from several countries, including Poland and Estonia, wanted the joint statement following the meeting to make clear that any additional violations by Russia, including from manned aircraft, would be met with force, according to two NATO officials...

Smoke rises over Kyiv after a Russian missile strike on September 7, 2025
Russia’s new daytime attacks put millions of lives on hold
KYIV – Tim Hryshchuk did not imagine spending his first day at school in a basement. But when the air raid alert sounded in Kyiv on September 2, the 5-year-old and his new classmates had no choice but to head underground.That’s what happens when one starts school during a war.Russian aerial attacks have become larger and more frequent since Moscow scaled up its drone production at the start of the year. But while most of these assaults used to come at night, there have been more daytime threats in recent weeks.Kyiv alone has experienced more than 1,800 air alerts, lasting more than 2,200 hours in total, since Russia launched its unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In the first two weeks of this month, there were, on average, two air raid alarms a day.Each one of...

Colombian President Gustavo Petro
Colombia's president calls US attacks on alleged drug boats 'act of tyranny'
BOGOTA – US airstrikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea are an "act of tyranny", Colombia's President Gustavo Petro told the BBC in an interview where he also called for criminal proceedings against US officials if investigations find Colombians were killed in the attacks.President Donald Trump has cast the strikes, which have reportedly killed 17 since they began this month, as needed to stop the flow of fentanyl and other illegal narcotics into the US.Legal experts and lawmakers, though, have questioned if they violate international human rights laws."Why launch a missile if you could simply stop the boat and arrest the crew?" said Petro. "That's what one would call murder."Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, Petro said there...

White House threatens mass firings if government shuts down
WASHINGTON – The White House budget office is telling federal agencies to prepare plans for mass firings in the event of a government shutdown, with instructions to target programs they are not legally required to continue.The directive, outlined in an Office of Management and Budget memo to agencies and obtained by CNN, represents a sharp break from the government’s handling of past shutdown scenarios — and an escalation by the Trump administration amid a standoff with congressional Democrats over federal funding.In the memo, OMB directs agencies to identify programs whose funds will lapse if Congress fails to meet the September 30 funding deadline and that have no alternative source of funding. Those programs should then be targeted for sweeping reductions in force that could...

WHO: No proven link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism
GENEVA — The World Health Organization (WHO) stressed on Wednesday that there is no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a link between autism and the use of acetaminophen (paracetamol) during pregnancy.Globally, nearly 62 million people — about one in every 127 — live with autism spectrum disorder, a diverse group of brain development conditions.While awareness and diagnoses have improved in recent years, the precise causes of autism remain unclear, with multiple contributing factors believed to be involved.WHO noted that large-scale studies conducted over the past decade have investigated potential links between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, but no consistent association has been established.The agency advised women to continue following the guidance of their...
