At least 25 killed as bus carrying mourners overturns in western Kenya
NAIROBI — At least 25 people were killed Friday when a 51-seater bus carrying mourners from a funeral overturned in western Kenya, police said.Nyanza Regional Traffic Commander Peter Maina told reporters the accident occurred at the Coptic Roundabout, a notorious blackspot in Kisumu County, about 350 kilometers (217 miles) northwest of Nairobi.The victims were returning from a burial when the driver lost control of the bus, which rolled over in one of the region’s deadliest road crashes this year.Kenya has recorded a rise in fatal road accidents in 2025, with police attributing the trend to speeding, reckless driving and poorly maintained vehicles.The tragedy comes just a day after two other deadly incidents in the country’s transport sector: a light aircraft crashed into residential...

Trump, Putin to meet in Alaska on Aug. 15 for talks on ending Ukraine war
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said Friday that he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin next week in Alaska to discuss ending Russia’s war in Ukraine, though the Kremlin has not yet confirmed the details.The Aug. 15 meeting would mark the first US–Russia summit since 2021, when then-President Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva. It will also be Putin’s eighth visit to the United States as Russia’s leader and his first since meeting President Barack Obama in New York in 2015 during the UN General Assembly.Trump said the talks could represent a breakthrough in his push to end the war, though he cautioned there is no guarantee it would stop the fighting, as Moscow and Kyiv remain far apart on peace terms.He added that he believes both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr...

Armenia, Azerbaijan sign US-brokered peace roadmap to end decades of conflict
WASHINGTON — Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a US-brokered peace “roadmap” on Friday that US President Donald Trump said will end decades of conflict between the South Caucasus neighbors.“With this accord, we’ve finally succeeded in making peace,” Trump told reporters in the State Dining Room, flanked by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.He said the deal commits both countries to end all fighting, open commerce, travel, and diplomatic ties, and respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.A key component of the agreement is the development of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), a corridor linking mainland Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic through Armenian territory.Trump...

World leaders criticize Israel’s Gaza City takeover decision as humanitarian concerns rise
JERUSALEM — World leaders have criticized Israel’s decision to seize control of Gaza City, warning the move risks exacerbating the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.The Israeli security cabinet approved the controversial plan early Friday, marking a new escalation in the country’s nearly two-year-long war against Hamas.The announcement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office came after hours of debate among senior security officials. The decision to move into Gaza City was made in light of Netanyahu’s earlier suggestions that the military would "take control of all Gaza," but also his claim that Israel had no intention of occupying the Strip permanently.UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the move in strong terms, stating:...

Germany halts arms sales to Israel after Gaza takeover plan approved
BERLIN — Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday that country will not authorise any exports of military equipment that could be used in Gaza "until further notice".The move from Berlin, which has historically been a stalwart supporter of Israel, comes after the Israeli Cabinet announced plans to take over Gaza City.In a statement, Merz emphasised that Israel "has the right to defend itself against Hamas' terror" and said that the release of Israeli hostages and "purposeful" negotiations toward a ceasefire in the 22-month war "are our top priority".He also said Hamas must not have a role in the future governance of Gaza."The even harsher military action by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, approved by the Israeli...

Netanyahu divides Israelis and allies with plan for new military push in Gaza
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial plans for a new military push in the Gaza Strip have raised warnings from the army leadership, opposition from hostage families and concerns that more Palestinians will be killed.They also risk isolating his country even further.In a meeting of the security cabinet that lasted 10 hours, ministers approved proposals for the "takeover of Gaza City", which is likely to be the first phase for the Israeli military to assume full control of Gaza, as Netanyahu says it is his intention.A statement released by his office did not use the word "occupation" but, effectively, that is what the plans mean.It is not clear when the operations, which could take months, will start, as the military will have to...

‘The tide is shifting’: Massive Australian protest over Gaza crisis seen as a sign of growing global alarm
BRISBANE — When Australia wants to put on a show, it turns to the sweeping expanse of Sydney Harbour, home to the Opera House and the iconic bridge that connects the city with its northern suburbs.So, when organizers of usually small pro-Palestinian protests held every two weeks since Israel’s 2023 invasion of Gaza detected a shift in community attitudes towards the grinding conflict – at home and abroad – they chose the bridge to make a global statement.“We thought that the kind of bold and somewhat audacious idea that we were going to march over Sydney Harbour Bridge would capture the imaginations of everyone out there who was horrified by what we were seeing,” said protest organizer Josh Lees, from the Palestinian Action Group.The group had been emboldened by artists making...

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As Trump’s deadline for Russia comes due, White House preps for possible summit with Putin
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s deadline for Russia to end its war in Ukraine or suffer severe economic punishment expires Friday, but it’s unclear how he plans to proceed amid new efforts toward a summit with Vladimir Putin and delicate trade negotiations with China.Trump promised earlier this week to apply new sanctions on Russia even as he questioned how effective they would be. The White House said Wednesday he still intended to slap “secondary sanctions” on countries that continue to purchase Russian energy.But by Thursday — after he initiated preparations to try and meet Putin face-to-face — he was less committal.“It’s going to be up to him,” Trump said, referring to Putin, when asked whether his deadline still stands and the new measures would take hold.The...

Most of these people do odd jobs such as cleaning, garbage-picking and driving in Gurugram's rich complexes
India's immigration raids send ripples through slums and skyscrapers alike
DELHI — In Gurugram, an upscale suburb just outside Delhi, gleaming SUVs, futuristic skyscrapers and neat apartments stand in stark contrast to nearby mosquito swarms, trash heaps and tarpaulin shanties.Inside the gated compounds live some of India's richest, while in the slums nearby live poor migrant workers — mostly domestic helpers, garbage-pickers and daily-wage workers — who keep the affluence going.Last month, local authorities rounded up hundreds of these workers, most of whom say they are Bengali-speaking Muslims from India's West Bengal state, in a "verification" drive targeting illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.The suspects were detained and kept at "holding centres" where they were asked to provide documents to prove their citizenship. Many allege...
