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...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right, speaks during a dinner at the White House with US President Donald Trump earlier this month.
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...

Air India Flight 171 crashed into a crowded neighbourhood in Ahmedabad
Voices in the cockpit fuelling controversy over Air India crash
DELHI — When the preliminary report into the crash of Air India Flight 171, which killed 260 people in June, was released, many hoped it would bring some measure of closure.Instead, the 15-page report added fuel to a firestorm of speculation. For, despite the measured tone of the report, one detail continues to haunt investigators, aviation analysts and the public alike.Seconds after take-off, both fuel-control switches on the 12-year-old Boeing 787 abruptly moved to "cut-off", cutting fuel to the engines and causing total power loss - a step normally done only after landing.The cockpit voice recording captures one pilot asking the other why he "did the cut-off", to which the person replies that he didn't. The recording doesn't clarify who said what. At the...

Authorities say more than 400 species of marine life have died
Australia's toxic algae bloom is 'natural disaster'
SYDNEY — An algal bloom catastrophe which has turned usually pristine South Australian waters toxic green and suffocated masses of marine life is a "natural disaster", the state premier has declared.The algal bloom — a rapid increase in the population of algae in water systems — has been spreading since March and is now twice the size of the country's capital territory.The federal government has unveiled an assistance package of A$14m ($9m; £6.7m) but refused to designate the event a natural disaster - a term usually used for cyclones, floods and bushfires and which would trigger a greater response.Authorities say more than 400 species of marine life have died and local industries are suffering.Algal bloom is naturally occurring but is caused by ocean warming, marine...
