JERUSALEM — Israel has confirmed the body it received on Sunday afternoon is that of Lt. Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier killed more than a decade ago in Gaza, the Prime Minister’s Office said on Sunday.Goldin was killed in the final days of the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas and his body has been held in Gaza since then.“We brought Lt.

Victory means bringing home the hostages and bringing home our soldiers to Israel.”Following the burial ceremony in Israel on Sunday, his mother, Leah Goldin, said,...

UK deploys anti-drone specialists to Belgium after string of incursions
LONDON — The UK will send anti-drone equipment and personnel to Belgium following a series of sightings near airports and military bases in recent weeks, Chief of the Defense Staff Richard Knighton said during a television interview on Sunday.Over the past week, Belgium's main international airport in Brussels and Liège, one of Europe's largest cargo airports, have been forced to close temporarily due to drone incursions.The incidents were the latest in a series of unidentified drone flights near a military base where US nuclear weapons are stored.Knighton said the UK had agreed to "deploy personnel and equipment to Belgium to help them," following a request from the Belgian authorities."We don't know and the Belgians don't know yet the source of those drones, but we...

BBC director general and head of news resign over misleading edit of Trump speech
LONDON — Two top leaders at the BBC resigned on Sunday amid an escalating scandal over impartiality and bias that plunged Britain’s public broadcaster into one of its biggest crises in recent years.The BBC’s most senior executive, director general Tim Davie, and the chief executive of the news division, Deborah Turness, both quit after the leak of a deeply critical memo that, among other things, revealed that the BBC had misleadingly edited a speech by US President Donald Trump to make it appear that he had directly called for violence on January 6, 2021.In a note to staff on Sunday afternoon, Davie said his resignation was “entirely my decision.” He added that as director general, he took “ultimate responsibility” for mistakes made by the BBC.Turness said the controversy...

A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket is fueled for launch with NASA's Escapade mission at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on November 9
Landmark Mars mission delayed by weather
CAPE CANAVERAL — New Glenn, the towering orbital rocket that Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin designed to compete with SpaceX’s dominant Falcon rockets, is back for its second launch ever — this time with a job to send twin spacecraft on a long, winding trip to Mars.The 322-foot (98-meter) rocket was set to take off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida during an 88-minute launch window that opened at 2:45 p.m. ET on Sunday. But Blue Origin revealed during a livestream that cloud cover rolled into the area, preventing liftoff. (Rockets often seek to avoid clouds because flying through one that is electrified can actually trigger a lightening strike.)“We’re reviewing opportunities for our next launch attempt based on forecasted weather,” the company said in a social media...

Malaysia's maritime authority expects the search to last seven days.The body found in the water on Sunday was that of a Rohingya woman,...

'Chaos has gone' — quiet streets on Texas border after Trump crackdown
EL PASO — The Trump administration has beefed up enforcement in the El Paso area as well as across the length of the entire US-Mexico border.In Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland, the immigration debate has spilled into the streets, sparking almost daily demonstrations while immigration agents ramp up arrests.But in El Paso — a city in Texas on the US-Mexico border — the streets are unusually quiet.A year after the BBC last visited the border to understand the impact of the migrant crisis on the border, sites that were once teeming with migrants lay largely silent.Just a few years ago, as many as 2,500 migrants once camped outside the city's historic Sacred Heart Catholic church. Many lined the streets sleeping on donated blankets, idling while they waited for food and water to...

John Laws, veteran Australian talkback radio host nicknamed 'Golden Tonsils', dies aged 90
SYDNEY — John Laws, the veteran Australian talkback radio host dubbed the "Golden Tonsils" for his trademark voice, has died aged 90.Laws, whose career spanned more than 70 years, was — during his peak — one of the world's highest paid commercial radio hosts. His resume included interviewing 17 Australian prime ministers and countless celebrities.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described Laws as an "iconic voice" while actor and former neighbour Russell Crowe said he was a "mischievous mate".In the 1990s, he — along with rival Alan Jones — were found to have breached commercial radio rules in a "cash-for-comment" scandal for not disclosing significant payments for on-air endorsements.In a statement on Sunday, Laws' family said their "beloved father/grandfather/uncle"...

Syrian migrants in Germany face uncertain future as government floats repatriation
BERLIN — When Germany opened its doors to refugees escaping war in the Middle East, more people arrived from Syria than any other country – finding homes, getting jobs, starting families.A question mark now hangs over their future, after Germany’s government – which has hardened its stance on immigration amid a surging far right – suggested it could be time for some to return home, voluntarily or not.Some 1 million Syrians arrived in Germany at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015-2016, under former chancellor Angela Merkel. Approximately 1.3 million live in Germany currently, including 25,000 who were born there.Now, Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other conservatives in his coalition cabinet are calling for their repatriation.Merz this week said that Berlin would approach the...
