Fans of Israeli side banned from Aston Villa match
LONDON — A local safety advisory group, which issues safety certificates for matches at Villa Park in Birmingham, has advised that supporters of an Israeli football team should not attend a Europa League game at Aston Villa next month because of security concerns.The decision has been widely criticised by politicians — but backed by police, which has said the event is classified as "high-risk".British officials said Friday they were working to reverse the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans attending the fixture against Aston Villa.The ban drew condemnation from politicians, sports organizations and Jewish groups.Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the police recommendation to bar the visiting team’s fans from the November 6 game was “the wrong decision,” and European soccer’s...

US-backed aid group suspends Gaza operations after ceasefire
GAZA — The controversial US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has confirmed it suspended operations in Gaza after the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas came into effect on 10 October.Despite being funded until November, the organisation said its final delivery was on Friday.The GHF has been heavily criticised after hundreds of Palestinians were killed while collecting food near its distribution sites.

Sheikh Hasina
Death penalty sought for Bangladesh's ex-leader Sheikh Hasina
DHAKA — Prosecutors in Bangladesh have demanded that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina be put to death over a deadly crackdown on student-led protests last year that ousted her from power.Hasina, who has fled to India, is on trial for crimes against humanity. According to a leaked audio clip, she ordered security forces to "use lethal weapons" against protesters. She denies the charges.Up to 1,400 people were killed in weeks of unrest that ended Hasina's 15-year rule. It was the worst violence Bangladesh had seen since its 1971 war of independence.Chief prosecutor Tajul Islam said Hasina deserves 1,400 death sentences. "Since that is not humanly possible, we demand at least one," he said."[Hasina's] goal was to cling to power permanently, for herself and her family," Islam...

Wilder Fernández is a young fisherman in the west of Venezuela who is concerned by the US military presence in the Caribbean
Venezuelan fishermen in fear after US strikes on boats in the Caribbean
CARACAS — Wilder Fernández has caught four good-sized fish in the murky waters of a small bay north of Lake Maracaibo.The contents of his net will serve as dinner for his small team before they set out to go fishing again in the evening.But this daily task is a job he has recently become scared of doing.After 13 years as a fisherman, Mr Fernández confesses that he now fears his job could turn lethal.He is afraid he could die in these waters not at the hands of a night-time attacker — a threat fishermen like him encountered in the past — but rather, killed in a strike launched by a foreign power."It's crazy, man," he says of the deployment of US warships, fighter jets, a submarine and thousands of US troops in waters north of Venezuela's coast.The US force patrolling in...
