The Parliament building in Islamabad
Pakistan parliament approves more powers for army chief, curbs top court

The amendment will become law once signed by the president, a formality.Army chief Asim Munir will now be elevated to the new post of Chief of Defence Forces, placing the navy and air force under his command in addition to the army.

Thai-Cambodia peace agreement is falling apart after Cambodian villager killed in fresh clashes
BANGKOK — US President Donald Trump’s much-heralded peace declaration between Thailand and Cambodia is falling apart after the two countries accused each other of opening fire along their disputed border on Wednesday, in skirmishes that killed at least one person.The brief clash came two days after Thailand said it was suspending a peace agreement reached between the two Southeast Asian kingdoms, and presided over by Trump, after several Thai soldiers were injured in a landmine explosion while on patrol in the border area Monday.Thailand and Cambodia fought a five-day border conflict in July that killed dozens of people and displaced about 200,000 on both sides of the frontier. Trump had hailed his intervention in the dispute as further proof of his ability to end wars, and Cambodian...

Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump together at the Mar-a-Lago estate, Palm Beach, Florida on February 22, 1997
White House dismisses emails suggesting Trump knew about Epstein's conduct as 'fake narrative'
WASHINGTON — The White House on Wednesday dismissed as a "fake narrative" the release of emails in which late financier Jeffrey Epstein claimed US President Donald Trump was aware of Epstein's exploitation of underage victims.Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Democrats had "selectively leaked emails to the liberal media" and accused them of attempting to distract from Trump's accomplishments."These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump's historic accomplishments, and any American with common sense sees right through this hoax and clear distraction from the government opening back up again," she said.The three emails, made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, pointed to the possibility that Trump was aware of...

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was critical of the funding deal
Democrats left bruised after historic shutdown yields little
WASHINGTON— After 43 days, the longest US government shutdown in history is coming to an end.Federal workers will start receiving pay again. National Parks will reopen. Government services that had been curtailed or suspended entirely will resume. Air travel, which had become a nightmare for many Americans, will return to being merely frustrating.After the dust settles and the ink from President Donald Trump's signature on the funding bill dries, what has this record-setting shutdown accomplished? And what has it cost?Senate Democrats, through their use of the parliamentary filibuster, were able to trigger the shutdown despite being a minority in the chamber by refusing to go along with a Republican measure to temporarily fund the government.They drew a line in the sand, demanding...

The world's largest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford transits the Strait of Gibraltar, November 4
Venezuelans voice uncertainty, fear and skepticism after arrival of US aircraft carrier in region
CARACAS — From concern to skepticism, Venezuelans in Caracas are expressing a range of emotions a day after the United States’ most advanced aircraft carrier strike group arrived in the Latin American region and intensified the friction between both nations.The US Navy says the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group will support other warships that have been carrying out deadly strikes on suspected drug-trafficking vessels in the Caribbean over the past two months.Though Washington insists the military buildup is aimed at disrupting the flow of narcotics to the United States, Caracas believes the US is really trying to force regime change, and some US officials have privately conceded their strategy is aimed at removing President Nicolás Maduro.That sentiment is shared by some...

Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian warehouse and farmland as West Bank attacks surge
JERUSALEM — Dozens of Israeli settlers launched arson attacks targeting a Palestinian warehouse, a Bedouin village, and farmland in the north of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.Several Palestinians were injured.The incidents were the latest in a recent surge in settler violence coinciding with the olive harvest season, when Palestinians head to their agricultural land around towns and villages.It comes just after the UN's humanitarian office said the number of violent attacks by settlers last month was the highest since it began collecting figures nearly 20 years ago.Israel has built about 160 settlements housing 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land Palestinians want, along with Gaza, for a hoped-for future state - during the 1967 Middle East war....
