Palestinians displaced from northern Gaza face the immediate challenge of finding shelter
'A long, long road ahead': Gaza rebuilds from zero
GAZA — For Gazans displaced for 15 months, the distance is not far – the Gaza Strip is a tiny place – but today's journey is just the start of a desperately uncertain future for this war-ravaged place.The scale of the looming humanitarian challenge is hard to comprehend."There are no facilities, no services, no electricity, no water, no infrastructure," Gazan journalist Ghada el-Kurd said, as she prepared to make her own way back north from Deir el-Balah, where she's been sheltering for months."We have to re-establish again from the beginning, from zero."The immediate needs – food and shelter – are starting to be addressed."Aid is flowing at levels we've not seen since the start of the conflict," Sam Rose from the UN's Palestinian...

DeepSeek a 'wake-up call' for US tech firms, Trump says
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has called the rise of Chinese company DeepSeek "a wake-up call" for the US tech industry, after the emergence of its artificial intelligence (AI) model triggered shockwaves on Wall Street.Shares in major tech firms such as Nvidia fell sharply, with the chip giant losing almost $600bn (£482bn) in market value.What has shaken the industry is DeepSeek's claim that its R1 model was made at a fraction of the cost of its rivals - raising questions about the future of America's AI dominance and the scale of investments US firms are planning.DeepSeek has become the most downloaded free app in the US just a week after it was launched.Responding to the news, Trump said the latest developments in China's AI industry may be "a...

Survivors of Auschwitz deliver warning from history as memories die out
AUSCHWITZ — Their numbers are dwindling but the voices of the Auschwitz survivors remain powerful."We were stripped of all humanity," said Leon Weintraub, 99, the oldest of four who spoke beside the notorious Death Gate at the Birkenau extermination camp.Marking 80 years since its liberation, world leaders and European royalty rubbed shoulders on Monday with 56 survivors of Hitler's genocide of European Jews."We were victims in a moral vacuum," said Tova Friedman, who described witnessing the horrors of Nazi persecution as a five-and-a-half-year-old girl clinging to her mother's hand.She described watching from her hiding place at a labour camp "as all my little friends were rounded up and driven to their deaths, while the heartbreaking cries of their...

EU agrees on 'step-by-step' roadmap to start easing sanctions on Syria
BRUSSELS — The European Union has taken the first step to ease its stringent, far-reaching sanctions against Syria after foreign affairs ministers endorsed on Monday a roadmap for a temporary suspension contingent upon progress on the ground.The first restrictions likely to be eased concern the banking, energy, and transport sectors, several diplomats told Euronews, noting the selection was tentative and could still change as negotiations continue in Brussels.The hand-picked sectors are considered essential to accelerate the war-torn country's reconstruction, strengthen stability and normalize financial relations with the bloc, which remains Syria's biggest international donor.The move is part of a "step-by-step approach" that will relax some sanctions while keeping...

New Zealand eases visa rules to lure 'digital nomads'
WELLINGTON — New Zealand has relaxed its visa requirements to allow tourists to work remotely while visiting the country in an effort to boost its tourism sector.Under the new rules, visitors can now carry out remote working for a foreign employer while holidaying in the country for up to 90 days, after which they could face possible tax implications.The country's government has said the move is aimed at making New Zealand "more attractive to digital nomads", referring to people who travel while working remotely."The change will enable many visitors to extend their stays, which will lead to more money being spent in the country," said New Zealand's Immigration Minister Erica Stanford.The government said the changes applied to all visitor visas, including...
