China snaps up Russian oil as Indian demand drops following Trump tariffs
HONG KONG — Chinese refineries have placed new orders for Russian crude that will be shipped from ports that typically supply India, as demand from the South Asian country for Moscow’s crude slips following US President Trump’s tariffs.At least 15 cargoes of Russian oil have been secured by Chinese refineries for October and November delivery, analysts said.China and India emerged as the top buyers of Russian oil following Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which prompted Western countries to shun its exports.Trump in July threatened to impose secondary tariffs on goods from countries importing Russian oil to pressure Moscow to end the war in Ukraine.Earlier this month, he announced an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports to the US, on top of another 25% levy, for its Russian...

Violence between cartels has surged in parts of Mexico in recent years
Six severed heads found on road in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — Six severed heads have been found on a road in central Mexico, in an area not normally associated with cartel violence.Local authorities made the discovery early on Tuesday morning on a route that links the broadly peaceful states of Puebla and Tlaxcala.Police have not given a motive for the killings or said which of the criminal groups operating in Mexico might have carried them out.Local media has reported that a blanket was left at the scene with a message issuing a warning to rival gangs and apparently signed by a group called "La Barredora", meaning "the sweeper".It is the same name as a little-known criminal group operating in the western state of Guerrero but it isn't clear if they were behind the attack or why.The local prosecutor's...

Putin received a warm welcome in Alaska on Friday
Kremlin plays down Zelensky talks as Trump warns Putin may not want to make deal
MOSCOW — The Kremlin has played down talk of an imminent summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, as Donald Trump renewed his call for the two leaders to meet to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.The push for a bilateral meeting comes after the US president met Putin in Alaska last week, and welcomed seven European leaders and Zelensky to the White House on Monday.Trump admitted the conflict was "a tough one" to solve and conceded it was possible the Russian president was not interested in ending hostilities."We're going to find out about President Putin in the next couple of weeks," he said on Tuesday. "It's possible that he doesn't want to make a deal."Putin faced a "rough situation" if...

Netanyahu said Anthony Albanese would be remembered as a 'weak politician'
Netanyahu accuses Australian PM of 'betraying' Israel
SYDNEY — Israel's prime minister accused his Australian counterpart of having "betrayed Israel" and "abandoned" Australia's Jewish community, after days of growing strain between the two countries.Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that history would remember Anthony Albanese "for what he is: a weak politician".Australia barred a far-right member of Netanyahu's ruling coalition from entering the country on Monday, and Israel in turn revoked the visas of Australian representatives to the Palestinian Authority.Australian Immigration Minister Tony Burke said Netanyahu was "lashing out" in response to Canberra recently announcing it would join the UK, France and Canada in recognising a Palestinian state."Strength is not measured by how...

US military vets are helping Afghans fight deportation
SAN DIEGO – As a journalist in Afghanistan, Abdul says he helped promote American values like democracy and freedom. That work, he said, resulted in him being tortured by the Taliban after the US withdrew from the country in 2021.Now he's in California applying for political asylum, amid the looming threat of deportation."We trusted those values," he said. "We came here for safety, and we don't have it, unfortunately."But when Abdul walked into a San Diego court to plead his case, he wasn't alone.Ten veterans showed up for his hearing – unarmed, but dressed in hats and shirts to signify their military credentials as a "show of force", said Shawn VanDiver, a US Navy vet who founded 'Battle Buddies' to support Afghan refugees facing...

Hungary threatens Kyiv with electricity cut after Ukrainian attacks shut down Russia oil imports
BUDAPEST — Hungary on Monday made a thinly-veiled threat to cut off electricity supplies to Ukraine as the diplomatic row over damage to the Druzhba pipeline escalates.The fresh war of words erupted last week after a key distribution station of the Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia’s Bryansk region was damaged in a Ukrainian drone strike, temporarily halting oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia.Ukraine carried out a second strike on the pipeline on Monday, this time targeting the Nikolskoye oil pumping station in Russia's Tambov region.Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has criticised the Ukrainian authorities for carrying out the strikes on the pipeline, describing them as "outrageous and unacceptable" and writing that "whoever attacks our energy security is,...

Hostages' families and their supporters want the Israeli government to agree a deal to end the war and bring them all home
Israel demands release of all Gaza hostages, casting doubt on ceasefire proposal
CAIRO — Israel is demanding the release of all 50 hostages held in Gaza, an Israeli official has said, casting doubt on whether it will accept a new proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that Hamas agreed to on Monday.The proposal, put forward by Qatar and Egypt, would see the release of around half the hostages and is "almost identical" to a US proposal Israel had previously accepted, according to Qatar.Israel has not explicitly rejected it - but Israeli government spokesman David Mencer told the BBC that it is not interested in "partial deals"."Things have changed now. The prime minister has laid out a plan for the future of Gaza," Mencer said.Palestinian sources said the proposal would see 10 living and 18 dead hostages handed over while the sides negotiated a...

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has ruled out sending American troops to help enforce a potential peace deal in Ukraine, despite him expressing an openness to the idea on Monday..In a phone interview on Fox News this morning, Trump was asked: “What kind of assurances do you feel like you have, going forward, past this Trump administration, that it won’t be American boots on the ground defending (Ukraine’s) border?”“Well, you have my assurance, and I’m president,” Trump responded.A White House official confirmed Tuesday that Trump is “emphatic” about not sending US troops to protect Ukraine.

Mediators await Israeli response to new Gaza ceasefire proposal
CAIRO — Arab mediators are awaiting a formal response from Israel after Hamas said it had accepted a new proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal.The plan was presented by Qatar and Egypt, which are trying to avert a major new Israeli offensive to occupy Gaza fully.Qatar said it was "almost identical" to a US proposal for a 60-day truce, during which around half of 50 hostages held in Gaza - 20 of whom are believed to be alive - would be handed over and the two sides would negotiate a lasting ceasefire and the return of the rest.In recent days, Israel's government has said it would no longer accept a partial deal - only a comprehensive one that would see all the hostages freed.Local media quoted a senior Israeli official saying: "Israel's position...
