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...

LONDON — Thousands of Afghans have moved to the UK under a secret scheme which was set up after a British official inadvertently leaked their data, it can be revealed.In February 2022, the personal details of nearly 19,000 people who had applied to move to the UK after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan were leaked.The previous government learned of the breach in August 2023 when some of the details appeared on Facebook.A new resettlement scheme for those on the leaked list was set up nine months later, and has seen 4,500 Afghans arrive in the UK so far.But the existence of the leak and relocations were kept secret after the government obtained a super-injunction stopping it from becoming public.Details of the major data breach, the response and the number of Afghans granted the...

Yemen postpones execution of Indian nurse on death row
DELHI — Authorities in Yemen have postponed the execution of an Indian nurse who is on death row after being found guilty of murder, Indian foreign ministry sources say.Nimisha Priya, who was sentenced to death for killing a local man, was set to be executed on 16 July, according to campaigners working to save her.The nurse, who is from the southern Indian state of Kerala, denied murdering her former business partner Talal Abdo Mahdi, whose chopped-up body was discovered in a water tank in 2017.The postponement of her execution is only a temporary reprieve — the only way she can be saved is if Mahdi's family pardons her.Yemen's Islamic judicial system, known as Sharia, offers her one last hope — securing a pardon from the victim's family by paying diyah, or blood money,...

'Not our war' — Trump's Nato weapons deal for Ukraine sparks MAGA anger
WASHINGTON — Some conservative members of Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement have reacted angrily to the president's plans to sell weapons to Nato, arguing it is a betrayal of his promise to end US involvement in foreign wars.On Monday, Trump said he would send weapons to Ukraine via Nato, while also threatening Russia with more tariffs if a deal to end the war is not reached in 50 days.Republican Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene, a key Trump ally, and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon are among those who have criticised the decision, with Bannon telling his podcast listeners that Ukraine is a "European war".The White House has emphasised that Europe will pay for the US-made weapons.In an interview with the New York Times, Greene - an...

German court rejects Yemeni plaintiffs' case over 2012 US drone strike deaths
BERLIN — Germany's highest court rejected a case on Tuesday brought by Yemeni plaintiffs who argued the German government failed in its duty to protect relatives who they say were killed in a 2012 drone strike that was carried out with help from a US military base in Germany.Ruling in a case that has been making its way through the German judicial system for over a decade, the Federal Constitutional Court found the German government can have a concrete duty to protect foreign citizens abroad in some cases.However, the court said that this could only apply when there is a "sufficient connection" to the German state's authority and "a serious danger of systematic violation" of international law.The judges found this case didn't fulfil those requirements.The...

"They were facing their attackers [and] were shot at very close range... several times."The BBC has asked the Ethiopian government for a response to the allegation.MSF said it was releasing the findings of its report into the incident as...

Australia wins landmark climate battle against Indigenous elders
SYDNEY — The Australian government has won a landmark climate case against residents of islands under siege from the impacts of climate change.In 2021, community elders Pabai Pabai and Paul Kabai launched legal action against the then-Liberal government for breaching its duty of care to protect the Torres Strait Islands from the impacts of climate change.But a Federal Court judge dismissed the case and said climate policy was a matter for parliament, not the courts.The ruling also found that the government did not owe a duty of care to protect the islands from the impacts of climate change.The Torres Strait Islands - located between far-north Queensland and Papua New Guinea - are made up of about 270 islands, of which only a few dozen are inhabited.About 4,000 people live on the islands,...

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
Former Israeli leader says ‘humanitarian city’ in Gaza would be a ‘concentration camp’
JERUSALEM — A planned “humanitarian city” inside Gaza intended to hold hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be a “concentration camp,” former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has warned.Defense Minister Israel Katz said last week he had told the military to advance plans for the zone, which would eventually contain the entire population of Gaza. The area would be built on the ruins of the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, and once Palestinians enter the zone, they would not be allowed to leave. Katz also vowed to implement a plan for the emigration of Palestinians from Gaza.“It is a concentration camp. I am sorry,” Olmert told The Guardian newspaper on Sunday. “If they (Palestinians) will be deported into the new ‘humanitarian city’, then you can say that this is...
