JERUSALEM — At least 20 people have been killed in a crush at an aid distribution centre in southern Gaza run by the US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the organisation and a local hospital say.The GHF said 19 were trampled to death and one was stabbed "amid a chaotic and dangerous surge" at its site in the Khan Younis area. It added that it believed people "armed and affiliated with Hamas" fomented unrest.But Gaza's Hamas-run Government Media Office denied the claim and accused the GHF of trying to "cover up" a crime.Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said it had received the bodies of 21 people who died from suffocation as a result of tear gas inhalation and a crush at the aid site.It is the first time the GHF has confirmed deaths at...

Stoplights change in front of the US Capitol as Republican lawmakers struggle to pass US President Donald Trump's sweeping spending and tax bill, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on June 30, 2025.
Roughly 6 in 10 Americans oppose Trump’s megabill, poll finds
WASHINGTON — Roughly 6 in 10 Americans say they oppose the GOP domestic policy bill that President Donald Trump recently signed into law, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.In the wake of his most sweeping legislative achievement since returning to office, Trump’s rating for handling the budget has slumped 11 points since March, with a rising majority also saying he’s gone too far in cutting government programs.While there are signs that opinions have yet to fully settle – fewer than a third of the public reports following news about the bill very closely, and roughly half of Americans don’t express strong feelings one way or the other – the initial strong opposition to the bill outpaces initial strong support.Americans say, 61% to 39%, that they oppose the spending...

Kim Jae-kyu in military court during the trial in 1979
South Korea retrying spy chief who assassinated a president
SEOUL — Two gunshots.That is how Yoo Seok-sul begins recounting the night of Friday, 26 October, 1979.A former security guard in the Korea Central Intelligence Agency, or KCIA, as the South's spy division was known, Yoo has many stories to tell. But this is perhaps the most infamous.He remembers the time — nearly 19:40 — and where he had been sitting — in the break room. He was resting after his shift guarding the entrance to the low-rise compound where President Park Chung-hee entertained his most trusted lieutenants. They called it the "safe house".In his 70s now, wiry with sharp eyes, Yoo speaks hesitantly at first — but it comes back to him quickly. After the first shots, more gunfire followed, he says. The guards were on high alert but they waited outside for...

François Bayrou said France risked being crushed by debt
French PM looks to scrap two public holidays in bold bid to cut national debt
PARIS — France's Prime Minister François Bayrou has proposed cutting two public holidays as part of a 2026 budget proposal to slash overall spending while also increasing defence expenses.Bayrou suggested axing Easter Monday and 8 May, a day that commemorates the Allied victory at the end of World War Two in Europe.He said the various bank holidays had turned the month of May into a gruyère — a Swiss cheese full of holes — although he added he was open to other suggestions.Bayrou runs the risk of having his budget voted down in parliament in the autumn, which could eventually cause his government to collapse.But on Tuesday he stressed that France — the eurozone's second economy — was "in mortal danger" of being crushed by debt.Standing in front of a lectern...

Pam Bondi has said the memo released last week on Epstein by the Department of Justice speaks for itself
Trump says attorney general should release any 'credible' information on Epstein
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said Attorney General Pam Bondi should release "whatever she thinks is credible" on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as he faces a rare backlash from supporters after seeking to draw a line under the case.Bondi has been lambasted by some of Trump's political base after she said last week there was no evidence that Epstein kept a "client list" or was blackmailing powerful figures.At the weekend Trump urged supporters not to "waste time and energy" on the controversy. But allies of the president, including House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson, are calling for "transparency".Epstein's 2019 death in a US prison while awaiting federal trial was ruled a suicide.But many in Trump's Make America...
