Hungary threatens Kyiv with electricity cut after Ukrainian attacks shut down Russia oil imports
BUDAPEST — Hungary on Monday made a thinly-veiled threat to cut off electricity supplies to Ukraine as the diplomatic row over damage to the Druzhba pipeline escalates.The fresh war of words erupted last week after a key distribution station of the Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia’s Bryansk region was damaged in a Ukrainian drone strike, temporarily halting oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia.Ukraine carried out a second strike on the pipeline on Monday, this time targeting the Nikolskoye oil pumping station in Russia's Tambov region.Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has criticised the Ukrainian authorities for carrying out the strikes on the pipeline, describing them as "outrageous and unacceptable" and writing that "whoever attacks our energy security is,...

Israel demands release of all Gaza hostages, casting doubt on ceasefire proposal
CAIRO — Israel is demanding the release of all 50 hostages held in Gaza, an Israeli official has said, casting doubt on whether it will accept a new proposal for a 60-day ceasefire that Hamas agreed to on Monday.The proposal, put forward by Qatar and Egypt, would see the release of around half the hostages and is "almost identical" to a US proposal Israel had previously accepted, according to Qatar.Israel has not explicitly rejected it - but Israeli government spokesman David Mencer told the BBC that it is not interested in "partial deals"."Things have changed now. The prime minister has laid out a plan for the future of Gaza," Mencer said.Palestinian sources said the proposal would see 10 living and 18 dead hostages handed over while the sides negotiated a...

Trump rules out sending US troops to enforce potential peace deal in Ukraine
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has ruled out sending American troops to help enforce a potential peace deal in Ukraine, despite him expressing an openness to the idea on Monday..In a phone interview on Fox News this morning, Trump was asked: “What kind of assurances do you feel like you have, going forward, past this Trump administration, that it won’t be American boots on the ground defending (Ukraine’s) border?”“Well, you have my assurance, and I’m president,” Trump responded.A White House official confirmed Tuesday that Trump is “emphatic” about not sending US troops to protect Ukraine.

Mediators await Israeli response to new Gaza ceasefire proposal
CAIRO — Arab mediators are awaiting a formal response from Israel after Hamas said it had accepted a new proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal.The plan was presented by Qatar and Egypt, which are trying to avert a major new Israeli offensive to occupy Gaza fully.Qatar said it was "almost identical" to a US proposal for a 60-day truce, during which around half of 50 hostages held in Gaza - 20 of whom are believed to be alive - would be handed over and the two sides would negotiate a lasting ceasefire and the return of the rest.In recent days, Israel's government has said it would no longer accept a partial deal - only a comprehensive one that would see all the hostages freed.Local media quoted a senior Israeli official saying: "Israel's position...

Ship with hundreds of tons of food aid for Gaza nears Israeli port after leaving Cyprus
JERUSALEM — A ship loaded with 1,200 tons of food for Gaza approached the Israeli port of Ashdod on Tuesday in a renewed effort to alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Strip as famine threatens the territory.The Panamanian-flagged vessel was screened by Israeli officials at the Cypriot port of Limassol before departing. It's carrying food aid such as pasta, rice, baby food and canned goods.Around 700 tonnes of the aid is from Cyprus, purchased with money donated by the United Arab Emirates to the so-called Amalthea Fund, set up last year for donors to help with seaborne aid.The rest comes from Italy, the Maltese government, a Catholic religious order in Malta and the Kuwaiti nongovernmental organisation Al Salam Association.Cyprus' Foreign Ministry said the aid...

Burkina Faso expels top UN official over child rights report
NAIROBI — Burkina Faso's junta has expelled the UN's top official to the West African nation over a report about children caught up in the militant conflict.Carol Flore-Smereczniak was declared "persona non grata" because of her role in drafting the report that came out in March.Covering a two-year period, the study detailed more than 2,000 cases of reported child recruitment, killings, sexual violence and abuse — blaming insurgents, government soldiers and civilian defense forces.The military government, which came to power in September 2022 and is led by Capt Ibrahim Traoré, said it had not been consulted by the UN, saying the report contained unfounded allegations.It did not cite any documentation "or court rulings to support the alleged cases of violations...

Tory Dugas, 36, was sentenced to jail for assault and evading arrest
Texas police hunt convict 'mistakenly' freed from jail
HOUSTON — Police in Texas are searching for a man they say was "mistakenly" released from jail as he was set to begin a seven-year sentence.Tory Dugas, 36, had been sentenced to five years in state prison for assaulting a family member and two years for evading arrest, Harris County Sheriff's Office said.Instead, Dugas, who had been in Harris County jail since Thursday on other charges that were dismissed, was released at 04:30 local time on Sunday.A "thorough investigation" is under way to determine the reason for his "erroneous release" from jail, the sheriff's office said.It appears that jail staff did not "properly document his state prison sentence in his file", the office said in a statement. It led to the assumption that Dugas was...

GLASGOW — The jailing of hundreds of Scottish gangsters has left prison staff playing what has been described as "a daily game of chess" as they try to keep violent rivals apart.The Scottish Prison Service says more inmates are being held in segregation than ever before, amid a rise in attacks linked to serious organised crime groups (SOCGs).The service's chief executive says the recent gangland feud in central Scotland has raised the temperature behind bars, and that staff are carrying out "a heroic task" in overcrowded jails.The Prison Officers' Association says many of its members have been left fearing for their safety because of threats and intimidation from gang-affiliated criminals.Justice Secretary Angela Constance said the Scottish government was...
