Swiss top court upholds conviction of four over 'Kill Erdoğan' banner at 2017 rally
BERN — Switzerland's top court has rejected an appeal by four protesters who were convicted of public incitement to a crime over a banner that called for the killing of Turkey's president at a demonstration more than eight years ago.In a statement on Wednesday, the Federal Tribunal said it upheld a lower court's decision over the banner that read "Kill Erdoğan with his own weapons," a reference to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, at a March 2017 protest in the capital Bern.The banner featured an image of the Turkish leader with a gun pointed at his temple.A regional court convicted the defendants in 2020, handing down fines and suspended prison sentences."Based on the concrete circumstances — the selected image, associated with text — the banner cannot objectively be...

Buildings in Gaza City have been reduced to grey, dusty rubble
Gaza in total devastation after two years of war
GAZA CITY — The Gaza of maps and memories is gone, replaced by a monochrome landscape of rubble stretching flat and still for 180 degrees, from Beit Hanoun on one side to Gaza City on the other.Beyond the distant shapes of buildings still standing inside Gaza City, there's almost nothing left to orient you here, or identify the neighborhoods that once held tens of thousands of people.This was one of the first areas Israeli ground troops entered in the early weeks of the war. Since then they have been back multiple times, as Hamas regrouped around its strongholds in the area.Israel does not allow news organisations to report independently from Gaza. Today it took a group of journalists, including the BBC, into the area of the Strip occupied by Israeli forces.The brief visit was...

Conservative justices sharply question Trump tariffs in high-stakes hearing
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's use of sweeping tariffs faced sharp questioning at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, in a case with major implications for the president's agenda and the global economy.A majority of justices, including several conservatives, expressed doubts about the White House's justification of the import duties, which the president has said are necessary to restore America's manufacturing base and fix its trade imbalance.The measures are being challenged by a number of small businesses and a group of states, which contend that the president has overstepped his authority in imposing the levies, which are in effect a tax.America's top court — which has a 6-3 conservative majority — usually takes months to reach big decisions, but many...

Raymond Koh has been missing for eight years since he was abducted
Wife of abducted Malaysian pastor wins landmark lawsuit against state
KUALA LUMPUR — The wife of a Malaysian pastor abducted eight years ago has won a lawsuit against the police and the government, in a landmark case that has gripped the nation.Raymond Koh was pulled out of his car by masked men in a suburb of the capital Kuala Lumpur in 2017.
