Wife of Ukraine’s top military intelligence official hospitalised with apparent heavy metals poisoning

The wife of Ukraine's top military intelligence official has been hospitalised with apparent heavy metals poisoning, according to Ukrainian and Western officials. Marianna Budanova is the wife of Kyrylo Budanov, whose military intelligence agency GUR has been deeply involved in Ukraine's efforts to oust Russia from its territory, and Western officials have been immediately suspicious that Russian agents may have paid off a staff member to carry out the poisoning. Test results show that Ukrainian Defence Intelligence staff have also been sickened, according to Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the agency, and Ukraine is investigating the situation. American and Western intelligence officials have not independently verified the poisoning but believe Ukrainian reports to be a...

France to ban smoking on beaches and public parks

France will ban smoking on beaches and public parks, the country's health minister said, presenting a series of measures as the government looks to prevent 75,000 tobacco-related deaths per year. The measures - part of a government plan to combat smoking - aim to create a "tobacco-free generation by 2032." Speaking at a press conference, French Health Minister Aurélien Rousseau said smoking on beaches, public parks, forests and some other public spaces, including close to schools, will soon be banned in France.

‘First swap crucial’: How the Israel-Hamas hostage deal will likely work

US officials have a working list of 10 hostages that they believe are likely to be released from Gaza on day one, a source familiar told CNN. It was not clear whether any of the three American hostages —including three-year-old Abigail Edan — would be released on the first day. The working list consists of 10 individuals who Hamas had proposed releasing earlier in the negotiations. The list consists of information such as gender, nationality and age, but the names of the individuals were never offered. The deal is structured in such a way that each day, a group of hostages to be released would be handed off to the Red Cross; the Red Cross would then take the group to a designated border point, which will largely depend on the location of those hostages, the source familiar...

Melissa Barrera fired from Scream 7 over Israel-Gaza posts, Susan Sarandon dropped

Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon and Scream star Melissa Barrera were each dropped by Hollywood companies after making comments on the Israel-Hamas war that was deemed antisemitic by the respective firms. Spyglass Media Group, the production company behind the upcoming Scream VII, acknowledged Barrera's exit from the horror franchise. The Mexican-born actress, who starred in In the Heights and the two recent Scream instalments, had posted statements on her Instagram stories calling the war "genocide and ethnic cleansing". "Gaza," she wrote, "is currently being treated like a concentration camp." "Spyglass' stance is unequivocally clear: We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic clean...

Their families wiped out, grieving Palestinians in Gaza ask why

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The night a blast struck his family’s home in the Gaza Strip, Ahmed al-Naouq was more than 2,000 miles away but he still jolted awake, consumed with inexplicable panic. He reached for his cellphone to find that a friend had written — and then deleted — a message. Al-Naouq called him from London. The words that spilled from the other end of the line landed like world-shattering blows: Airstrike. Everyone killed. Four nights later, Ammar al-Butta was startled from sleep in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis when the wall of his bedroom collapsed over him. A missile had pierced his top-floor apartment and exploded one floor below. He lurched over the rubble, shining the light of his cellphone into the wreckage, calling out to his 16 relatives. “An...
