Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un standing shoulder to shoulder
China's Xi steals the limelight in a defiant push against US-led world order
BEIJING – As the cannon fire echoed through Tiananmen Square, even before the first set of troops goose-stepped their way through Beijing's central avenue, the day's most enduring image unfolded.China's President Xi Jinping welcomed North Korea's Kim Jong Un with a long handshake, then moved on to greet Russia's Vladimir Putin, and then walked to his seat, flanked by two of the world's most sanctioned leaders.It was sheer political theatre. And it was this meeting – rather than the weaponry – that appears to have irked US President Donald Trump.As the parade began, Trump sent a sharply-worded message on Truth Social, accusing the three leaders of conspiring against America.This may well have been the reaction President Xi had hoped for as he kept Putin to his...

Israelis stage 'day of disruption' against reservists call-up for Gaza City operation
JERUSALEM – Protesters took to the streets across Israel for what they called a "day of disruption" on Wednesday, denouncing the call-up of tens of thousands of reservists for an offensive in Gaza City that critics fear could endanger the lives of the hostages still being held by Hamas.Demonstrators have accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet of failing to secure a ceasefire deal and intensifying an offensive in Gaza instead."We have to take an extreme action so that someone will remember. There’s no such thing as a state abandoning its citizens," Yael Kuperman, a protester near the Knesset, told the Israeli public broadcaster Kan.The IDF said last month that Defence Minister Israel Katz had approved plans for an expanded military...

DELHI – At least 30 people have died and more than 354,000 have been affected by heavy rains and floods in the north Indian state of Punjab.
