The US Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.
The 14th Amendment guarantees US citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the United States.
Trump sought to end automatic citizenship for children born to parents who are in the US illegally or on temporary visas.
On Truth Social, Trump said the ruling was "too bad for our country" and suggested Congress could pass a law to end birthright citizenship.

Up to 3.4 billion people worldwide lack access to adequate housing. By 2030, the world will need $3 to $4 trillion dollars to provide affordable and accessible housing, as well as the construction of 96,000 new homes every day.

In the United States, a rare bipartisan housing bill has just passed the Senate. In Europe, the European Commission is pushing new affordability measures. In the United Kingdom, landmark legislation has ended no-fault evictions. And in Africa, the Nairobi Declaration commits nations to accelerating affordable housing delivery.

Military and diplomatic analyst Alexandru Hudisteanu has described the wording in the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed this month by Iran and the US in Islamabad as “vague and open to interpretation” and will be “poison” as both sides try to negotiate an end to the war.
“We know that Article 13, broadly speaking, favours Iran, because it states that they will not discuss the nuclear file until articles 1, 4, 5, 10 and 11 … are starting to be implemented. But that wording specifically leaves a lot of room for interpretation,” he said.
US is trying to get around Iran by linking the relaxation of some sanctions relief to discussion of the nuclear issue, according to Hudisteanu.
“We see that [talks on] reconstruction funds and asset freezes are actually bound to a negotiation of the nuclear file,” he said.

What is heritage? And why are authorities sounding the alarm about Israel’s attacks on Lebanon’s cultural and natural heritage?
Al Jazeera’s Karly Abou Samra explains.
At his weekly press briefing in Doha, Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Dr Majed al-Ansari confirmed that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are in Doha for meetings with Qatari mediators to discuss regional issues, including the US-Iran negotiations and Lebanon. He said there are no high-level meetings planned between US and Iranian officials at this stage, but technical talks are ongoing and have not stopped since the agreement.
On the Strait of Hormuz, al-Ansari reiterated Qatar's position that freedom of navigation must not be hindered, calling it an international waterway. He said a channel of communication has been established for de-confliction and was used to contain recent escalations. He confirmed that technical talks are progressing and that Qatar hopes issues will be resolved within the 60-day period of the MoU.
Regarding frozen Iranian assets, al-Ansari clarified that Qatar does not own the money and that the $6bn held in Qatar under the 2023 agreement has not been moved. He said the frozen assets issue is addressed in the MoU but depends on talks between the parties. On regional engagement with Iran, he said Qatar believes regional issues should be solved through regional dialogue and is working with partners to reach that point.
Al-Ansari also confirmed that Qatar has played a role in the Russia-Ukraine war, facilitating the return of more than 100 children to their families. He expressed condolences over an incident in Qatar's waters involving shrapnel from regional tensions, which led to a fatality.

Al Jazeera's special coverage, "Gaza: Promises and Reality," examines the gap between commitments made under the US-brokered ceasefire and the reality Palestinians face on the ground in Gaza. Over five days, the series explores how Israel's war on Gaza – which has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians, including at least 20,000 children – continues to reshape every aspect of life in the territory and its people.
Day three focuses on the destruction of Gaza's social fabric. Palestinians are not only being deprived of their privacy, health, and even their identities. For hundreds of thousands of displaced families, personal moments play out in public. Engaged couples search for quiet corners in crowded camps; families live in spaces divided by hanging sheets or nothing at all. Changing clothes, disciplining children, and arguing with loved ones all happen in full view of strangers. For women and girls, the loss of privacy brings added hardship, with makeshift partitions offering little protection. One woman was seen asking her husband to check if anyone was watching before she could use the toilet.
The Gaza Municipality spokesperson, Hosni Mhanna, said 90% of Gaza has been destroyed, with 25 million tonnes of rubble and 370,000 cubic metres of solid waste in Gaza City alone. He said 135 municipality trucks were destroyed by Israel, preventing basic services. "The blockade is really a challenge," he said. "The situation is catastrophic in the Gaza Strip."
The coverage also highlights a growing identity crisis. Thousands of Palestinians have lost ID documents and passports while fleeing bombardment. Banks reportedly reject IDs issued after October 7, 2023, leaving people unable to access salaries or bank accounts. Students accepted to universities abroad cannot travel without original passports. Officials say the destruction of government infrastructure and restrictions on the civil registry system have created a legal and humanitarian vacuum affecting nearly every aspect of civilian life.
The burial crisis is also deepening. Thirty-nine of Gaza's 62 cemeteries have been completely destroyed, with another 19 partially damaged. Families are paying up to $520 for a single burial space – if they can find one. One man, Ziad Al-Asqar, buried his wife in the same small plot where he had already buried his two sons, two grandchildren, and his nephew's son. "This is now the fourth time we've had to bury members of our family in the same small plot of land," he said.
Even the dead are running out of room. With Gaza's social fabric systematically dismantled, Palestinians continue to face a reality where dignity, intimacy, and solitude have become casualties of war.

Israel bombed a car near the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. As one of the men escapes, Israeli forces strike again. Double tap attacks are widely considered to be war crimes.
An Israeli attack on the al-Mawasi camp in Khan Younis has killed several people, including a mother and her child. More than one hundred tents belonging to displaced Palestinians were also destroyed.
A public park in Caracas has been transformed into a hub of activities for children where volunteers use play, dance and face painting to help children cope as thousands of families remain displaced after Venezuela's twin earthquakes.
Hungary's Orban government-led pro-natal incentives and South Korea's emerging corporate-driven strategies reveal how states and companies are increasingly intervening to influence personal decisions about having children.
In Hungary, an ambitious raft of pro-natal policies have been introduced to counter declining birth rates. Tax exemptions for large families and state-backed, interest-free loans tied to childbearing illustrate the government's push to reshape demographics, but some say the policies only favour a certain segment of society and coerce people into 'traditional' large-family models. The government's pro-natal stance has also led to the introduction of the controversial 'Heartbeat Law', which forces women to listen to the heartbeat of their unborn child before terminating their pregnancies.
In South Korea, an even more acute fertility crisis has led to fear of an economic slowdown and prompted the government to encourage major corporations to step in. Companies are now offering IVF funding, expanded childcare, enhanced parental leave and, in some cases, linking promotions to the number of children employees have. There is, however, a section of Korean society that is passionately against such policies, arguing that women are being pressured into having children.

As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of its independence, New York is highlighting its unique role in the American Revolution. Although the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, the city remained under British occupation for another seven years. Museums and historians are showcasing sites that survived the war and telling the story of a deeply divided city, where many residents remained loyal to the British Crown. New York also became a refuge for thousands of formerly enslaved people seeking freedom by fighting for Britain. Historians say the city's recovery after the war helped lay the foundations for the new nation. In 1789, New York hosted the inauguration of George Washington as the first US president at Federal Hall.

Twin earthquakes have displaced more than 12,000 people across Venezuela, with hundreds of families from Caracas and as far as La Guaira state now sleeping in parks and public spaces. A public park in the west of the capital has become an improvised displacement camp, offering medical assistance, basic supplies and child protection activities. Ongoing aftershocks have left many residents too frightened to return to their homes, even where structural damage has been assessed as superficial. Authorities say plans are under way to move displaced people into more permanent shelters.
