Idaho student killer heads to prison, but mysteries in the case remain
WASHINGTON — Weeks before he was due to stand trial, after years of professing his innocence, Bryan Kohberger made a shocking decision — he was pleading guilty.The 30-year-old faced the death penalty for the gruesome murders of four students, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen in their home in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022.The plea deal spares him his life - but the abrupt ending leaves relatives of the victims with conflicted feelings and many questions unanswered.The state made a "deal with the devil", Kaylee Goncalves's father Steve told reporters. Like others, he had lingering questions about the mysteries surrounding the case, including a motive.But for Ben Mogen, Madison's father, the deal marks a moment of closure for a family...

Trump says US agrees trade deal with Japan
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says the US has agreed to a "massive" trade deal with Japan, one of the country's largest trading partners.Japan has agreed to invest $550bn (£407bn) in the US while its goods sold to America would be taxed at 15% when they reach the country - below the 25% tariff Trump had threatened.Trump said on social media that Japan would open its economy to US goods, including cars, trucks, rice and certain agricultural products.Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba welcomed the announcement, saying it was "the lowest figure to date among countries with trade surpluses with the US"."I just signed the largest trade deal in history, I think maybe the largest deal in history with Japan," Trump touted at a White House event on...

Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for helping Jeffrey Epstein abuse young girls
US House speaker shuts down chamber to block Epstein vote
WASHINGTON — US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson has announced an early adjournment of the chamber, stalling efforts to force the release of documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.The move delays a politically fraught vote on the matter until September amid growing bipartisan pressure for transparency. It followed a key committee vote to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's longtime associate, to testify before Congress.Calls to declassify Epstein-related files have intensified recently, including from supporters of President Donald Trump.Earlier on Tuesday, the US justice department requested a meeting with Maxwell to ask: "What do you know?"Maxwell's legal team told the BBC they were in discussions with the government and she would...

Philippines goods to face 19% tariff, Trump says
WASHINGTON — The US will levy a 19% tax on imports from the Philippines, US President Donald Trump has announced after meeting with the country's president at the White House.Trump wrote on social media on Tuesday that the new tariff was part of a wider pact, in which the Philippines would remove duties on US goods and the two countries would cooperate militarily."It was a beautiful visit, and we concluded our Trade Deal," he wrote on social media, offering no further details about the apparent agreement.The plan, which was not immediately confirmed by the Philippines, would leave the country facing a tax even higher than what Trump had threatened when he first announced sweeping global tariffs in April.BBC has contacted the Philippine Embassy in Washington DC for...

Israel's allies see evidence of war crimes in Gaza mounting up
By Jeremy BowenLONDON — Two years ago, Hamas was putting the finishing touches to its plan to attack Israel. In Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believed that the Palestinians were a problem to be managed. The real threat, he insisted, was Iran.Netanyahu's rhetoric opposing Hamas was undimmed, but he had also given permission for Qatar to funnel money into Gaza. It gave him space for his real priorities in foreign policy — confronting Iran and finding a way to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia.In Washington, then-President Joe Biden and his administration believed they were close to hatching a deal between the Saudis and Israelis.It was all a series of illusions.Netanyahu has refused to establish an inquiry to look into the mistakes he made alongside his army and...

Donald Trump warns that US could strike Iran's nuclear sites again 'if necessary'
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could strike Iran's nuclear sites again "if necessary."Trump issued the warning in a social media post on Monday evening after Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News that Tehran cannot give up its nuclear enrichment programme, even though it was damaged in US bombings last month."It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously, we cannot give up on enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride," Araghchi said.On his Truth Social platform, Trump referenced Araghchi's comments about the nuclear sites being severely damaged and said: "Of course they are, just like I...

Trump ‘caught off guard’ by Israel’s actions in Gaza and Syria last week as skepticism of Netanyahu grows inside White House
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump was caught by surprise last week by Israeli actions in Gaza and Syria, and in both instances phoned Benjamin Netanyahu to “rectify” the matter, according to the White House.That underscores what sources have said is an increasingly tense dynamic between the two leaders.A strike last Thursday on the only Catholic Church in Gaza drew an immediate negative reaction from Trump, who phoned Netanyahu to voice his displeasure and to ensure the Israeli leader released a statement calling the strike a mistake.Trump was similarly surprised by Israel airstrikes targeting government buildings in the Syrian capital Damascus last week at a moment his administration is working to rebuild the war-torn nation.“The president enjoys a good working relationship...
