'Our children are dying': Rare footage shows plight of civilians in besieged Sudan city
NAIROBI — The women at the community kitchen in the besieged Sudanese city of el-Fasher are sitting in huddles of desperation."Our children are dying before our eyes," one of them tells the BBC."We don't know what to do. They are innocent. They have nothing to do with the army or [its paramilitary rival] the Rapid Support Forces. Our suffering is worse than what you can imagine."Food is so scarce in el-Fasher that prices have soared to the point where money that used to cover a week's worth of meals can now buy only one. International aid organisations have condemned the "calculated use of starvation as a weapon of war".The BBC has obtained rare footage of people still trapped in the city, sent to us by a local activist and filmed by a freelance...

Chemistry on trial: How a professor tried to convince a court she didn't kill her husband
DELHI — "Are you a chemistry professor?" the judge asked."Yes," Mamta Pathak replied, clasping her hand in a respectful namaste.Draped in a white sari, glasses perched on her nose, the retired college teacher stood before two judges in a courtroom in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, speaking as if delivering a forensic chemistry lecture."In the post-mortem," she argued, her voice trembling but composed, "it is not possible to differentiate between a thermal burn and an electric burn mark without proper chemical analysis."Across the bench, Justice Vivek Agarwal reminded her, "The doctor who conducted the post-mortem said there were clear signs of electrocution."It was a rare, almost surreal moment — a 63-year-old woman,...

Peru president issues amnesty for hundreds accused of atrocities
LIMA — Peru's president has signed a controversial new law pardoning soldiers, police and civilian militias on trial for atrocities during the country's two-decade armed conflict against Maoist rebels.Dina Boluarte enacted the measure that was passed by Congress in July, despite an order from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to suspend it pending a review of its impact on victims.The law will benefit hundreds of members of the armed forces, police and self-defence committees accused of crimes committed between 1980 and 2000.It will also mandate the release of those over 70 serving sentences for such offences.During the conflict, the Shining Path and Tupac Amaru rebel groups waged insurgencies in which an estimated 70,000 people were killed and more than 20,000...

DHAKA — The trial of Labour MP Tulip Siddiq over corruption allegations has formally begun in Bangladesh.The former minister did not attend the hearing, where investigators from the country's corruption watchdog set out the case against her and 20 other individuals, including her aunt, her mother, her brother and her sister.She is accused of influencing her aunt Sheikh Hasina, who was ousted as Bangladesh's prime minister last year, to secure a plot of land in a suburb of the capital Dhaka for her family members.The MP for Hampstead and Highgate, who denies the allegations, said the "so-called trial" was "a farce" built on "fabricated accusations and driven by a clear political vendetta".Hasina fled Bangladesh for India last August after being ousted...

Israel’s Netanyahu has ‘lost the plot,’ New Zealand leader Luxon says
AUCKLAND — New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said Wednesday that his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost the plot” and that Israel’s planned occupation of Gaza City is “utterly unacceptable.”Luxon’s comments come as his conservative coalition government weighs whether to join other members of the Five-Eyes security alliance, Australia, Britain and Canada, in moving to recognize a Palestinian state; and as international condemnation and anger builds over Israel’s recent decision to expand its war to take control of Gaza City, the throttling of aid and mass starvation in the enclave.Luxon, who leads the right-leaning National Party, said Netanyahu is “not listening” to the international community’s demands for “unfettered” humanitarian aid to...
