Fifteen-year-old Reem Aziz divides her days between school, household chores and powering her brother's sewing machine by pedalling a makeshift bicycle wheel.
With no electricity in Gaza and petrol too expensive, her father built the device so the family tailoring business can continue.
Reem hauls water to the second floor, cares for her siblings and studies at night, all whilst longing for a childhood she says she has been denied.
She hopes the war will end, electricity will return, and she can simply be a student again.

The Lebanese government says Israeli strikes on Sunday killed 14 people, including two children, despite a US-brokered ceasefire, as Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli troops on the outskirts of Kafr Kila and in Taybeh in the south.
Both sides are accusing the other of violating the truce, but Hezbollah has "drawn a line in the sand," reiterating it will not accept a one-sided ceasefire.
The Israeli military acknowledged that one soldier was killed and six others injured in Taybeh, where Hezbollah launched a drone attack during an Israeli evacuation helicopter mission.
Israel has issued new forced evacuation orders for at least seven villages located north of the Litani River and dropped leaflets over the Tyre district warning residents to avoid moving south of at least 20 villages, with Israeli forces saying they plan to target what they call Hezbollah sites.
Hezbollah has increased the tempo of its operations and is "hurting Israeli troops in that occupation zone," while continuing to launch drones and rockets across the border into northern Israel, putting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "in a difficult position."
On the Lebanese government's direct talks with Israel, the government is "negotiating under fire," causing internal tensions, with Hezbollah arguing that what is being agreed in those negotiations is the disarmament of the group — "what the Israeli military failed to do."

More than 3,000 players gathered in Mexico City for the National Indigenous Cup—a tournament designed to empower communities, promote inclusion, and bring football beyond stadiums into some of the country’s most underserved regions.

From rural towns in Oaxaca to the capital, young players share what the game means to them—opportunity, identity, and escape from hardship.

One player, Saúl Cruz, reflects on growing up in a small community, the sacrifices made by his team, and what it feels like to compete on a national stage far from home.

Despite challenges on and off the pitch, the message is clear: football is more than a game—it’s a lifeline.

Investigators in the United States are working to understand why a gunman attempted to storm the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., an event attended by President Donald Trump and senior officials on Saturday.

The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, allegedly ran through a security perimeter before being confronted by Secret Service agents. Gunfire was reported inside the packed venue as chaos unfolded.

Footage shows officials, including Vice President JD Vance, being rushed from the stage, while security teams moved to evacuate President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Authorities have since searched the suspect’s home in California for evidence, including a possible manifesto referenced by the President. However, key questions remain about motive and planning.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner—typically a celebration of press freedom and political life—was abruptly disrupted as top officials were forced into emergency evacuation.

Northern Thailand is battling a wave of wildfires that have engulfed Chiang Mai in thick smoke, pushing pollution levels to some of the highest in the world.

More than ten million people have reportedly suffered pollution-related illnesses this year, as fires—many caused by human activity—continue to burn across mountainous terrain.

With limited resources, volunteer firefighters, hill-tribe communities, and even a Buddhist monk are stepping in to protect forests and communities. Some are using drones and traditional knowledge to track hotspots, while others risk their lives on the ground.

Despite increased firefighting efforts, calls are growing for stronger national clean air laws, as activists warn the crisis will persist without urgent action.

Asian markets are showing resilience despite stalled peace talks between the United States and Iran, with major indices in South Korea and Japan remaining stable.

In this live report from Seoul, Barnaby Low explains why investors appear unfazed by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, even as diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran face uncertainty.

While markets are supported by optimism around artificial intelligence growth and ongoing diplomatic channels, rising oil prices are telling a different story. Brent crude has surged above $100 per barrel, pushing fuel costs higher across Asia.

Abbas Araghchi is heading to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin, as Iran intensifies diplomatic efforts amid rising tensions with the United States.
Araghchi’s visit follows a regional tour that included stops in Oman and Pakistan, along with consultations with partners across the Gulf and wider region, including Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
A key focus of discussions is the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route, amid escalating incidents involving naval forces.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has cancelled plans to send envoys to Pakistan, saying Tehran’s latest proposal was “not good enough”.
Iran says it remains open to negotiations but is seeking guarantees on security, sovereignty and an end to hostilities. However, deep mistrust between the two sides continues to complicate diplomatic efforts.
Regional and international actors are now stepping up mediation attempts, raising cautious hopes for a possible framework to ease tensions.

Police in Northern Ireland say dissident Irish republican groups may be behind a car bomb attack near Belfast.

A hijacked vehicle carrying a gas cylinder device exploded outside a police station in Dunmurry. No casualties have been reported.

Authorities say the attack follows a failed bombing last month in Lurgan, which was claimed by the New IRA.

An attempted murder investigation is now underway as security services assess the threat level.

Dissident republican groups oppose the Good Friday Agreement, which brought an end to decades of conflict known as the Troubles.

The incident has raised concerns about a possible escalation in violence in the region.

US authorities have identified the suspect accused of storming the lobby near the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., triggering a major security incident involving Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Police say 31-year-old Cole Allen was arrested at the scene and is expected to face federal charges, including assault on a federal officer and using a firearm during a violent crime. Authorities say he was armed with a shotgun, pistol, and knives, and appeared to be acting alone.

Investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation have searched the suspect’s home in Torrance, as officials work to determine his motive.

Reports indicate the suspect may have traveled across the country by train before arriving in Washington and checking into the hotel hosting the event. Questions are mounting over how he was able to bypass security measures at one of the most heavily protected gatherings in the US capital.

The incident has renewed debate over security protocols at high-profile events attended by senior government officials.

The pullout follows an agreement with the Tuaregs to secure their departure.
Meanwhile the defence minister, Sadio Camara, has been killed.
He was a central figure in the military government and was instrumental in developing Mali's military relationship with Russia.

Technology firm Palantir has sparked global outrage after publishing a 22-point manifesto envisioning a future of autonomous weapons and deep integration between big tech and government. The doctrine has intensified debate about the growing power of Silicon Valley and its ties to militaries accused of war crimes.

This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with economist and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis about what Palantir's manifesto really reveals, and why Varoufakis believes big tech is peddling an ideology he compares to the racial hierarchies of Nazism and apartheid.

Despite on-again, off-again negotiations, the United States has no other option but to pursue a diplomatic solution with Iran, argues Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University.

Nasr tells host Steve Clemons that the US-Israel war on Iran has shown the limits of military force.

“You don't go to the table to demand surrender. The other side is not going to surrender because they haven't lost. So you have to cut a deal,” Nasr said, adding that Iran’s objective is to make sure the US and Israel understand that “war with Iran isn't easy”.

The Israeli military has dropped leaflets over the Tyre District in southern Lebanon, warning residents to avoid moving south of at least 20 villages and not to approach the Litani River area, the Salhani Valley and Al-Salkuki, as Israeli forces say they plan to target what they call "Hezbollah sites" in those areas. The leaflets come as Israel continues to demolish villages in the zone along the border with bulldozers and explosives, having originally named about 60 villages and now occupying around 47 to 50 of them. The information in the leaflets, combined with an increasing frequency of air strikes north of the so-called "yellow line," suggests that areas beyond the line are not safe either.
Hezbollah says it has only fired rockets in recent days in response to Israel's violations of the ceasefire, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he is returning fire deeper into Lebanon. Since the beginning of the ceasefire, neither side has stopped firing rockets, bombs or missiles, and the direction of travel appears to be towards further escalation.

A large-scale coordinated attack by al-Qaeda-affiliated militants from JNIM (Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin) and Tuareg rebels from the Azawad Liberation Front (FLA) struck multiple military sites across Mali on Saturday, with sources telling Al Jazeera that Defence Minister General Sadio Camara has been killed.
His residence in the heavily guarded garrison town of Kati, considered one of the most secure locations in the country, was destroyed by a suicide car bomb attack. As the attacks continue more than 24 hours after they began on Saturday morning, residents of Kati can still hear heavy gunfire and loud explosions, while violence has also spread to the northern towns of Kidal, Gao and Sevare, as well as the capital Bamako.
JNIM, which has been fighting the Bamako military junta for years, said the attacks were carried out in coordination with Tuareg rebels, describing them as the "most serious attacks launched against the junta in years."
Malian junta leader General Assimi Goita is said to be alive and in a secure location, but the loss of Camara — a key figure who orchestrated the pullout of French forces and the arrival of Russian mercenaries — has raised questions about the military's ability to remain in command.
A three-day overnight curfew has been imposed in Bamako, while the African Union has condemned the attacks and warned that civilians are at serious risk.

Ethiopia is facing a deepening fuel crisis as the war on Iran and closure of strait of Hormuz drives up global oil prices and disrupts supply chains.
In Addis Ababa, drivers queue for days at petrol stations often only to find no fuel available, leaving taxis and lorries stranded. Transport shortages have pushed up food prices by nearly 40 percent, with markets struggling to explain daily increases to customers. Export-dependent businesses report shipping costs have more than doubled, threatening their viability. Ethiopia imports nearly all its fuel from the Gulf region, making it acutely vulnerable to the economic shockwaves of distant conflict.

As Palestinians prepare for municipal elections across the West Bank and Gaza — the first in nearly two decades — an Al Jazeera interview examined whether the process represents genuine democratic reform. Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative and former Palestinian Minister of Information, told Al Jazeera from Ramallah that the elections "do not" bring a new political reality and will only maintain "the same system that was there all the time." He explained that elections are happening in only 42 percent of communities (183 out of 429), with 49 communities having no candidates and 197 communities having only one list — meaning "no real elections" there. Barghouti said the Palestinian Authority imposed a condition requiring candidates to commit to its political program, which he called "a constitutional violation of people's rights to freedom of expression and freedom of belief," leading his party and others to boycott. He noted that there have been no legislative council elections for 20 years and no presidential elections for 21 years, adding that elections did not take place in the north of Gaza, in Rafah, or in other parts of the Strip because these areas are "occupied by the Israeli army, which of course does not allow people to have normal life or normal ability to have elections" — noting that Gaza City has not held elections since 1956. Barghouti warned that actual participation is only 17 percent, and that without free democratic elections — presidential, legislative and for the Palestinian National Council — "we cannot speak about separation of powers, and all the powers in the Palestinian Authority are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people."

Police have arrested a suspected gunman who opened fire at a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner attended by US President Donald Trump.
Secret Service agents evacuated Trump and cabinet members as thousands of attendees ducked for cover when shooting began. One officer was struck but protected by a bulletproof vest.
Authorities say the heavily armed suspect, a hotel guest, was acting alone and is now in custody.
This marks the third assassination attempt against Trump, following incidents in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Multiple investigations are underway into security failures at the high-profile event.

Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher reports from Washington DC.

US President Donald Trump has addressed reporters after an apparent assassination attempt was thwarted during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Secret Service agents intercepted a heavily armed suspect inside the hotel hosting the event, stopping him at a security checkpoint before he could reach the main ballroom. Gunshots were heard, prompting panic among attendees and a rapid evacuation of the president, the first lady and senior officials.

Authorities confirmed the suspect, reportedly a hotel guest from California, is in custody and faces multiple charges, including assault on federal officers. One Secret Service agent was injured during the incident.

The president was swiftly taken to the White House, where he later praised security personnel for their rapid response. Investigations are now under way into how the suspect was able to enter a heavily secured venue.

The incident has raised fresh concerns about security at high-profile events and echoes past attacks, including the Attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan at the same hotel.

Officials say the event may be rescheduled, with significantly tighter security measures expected.
