WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The 500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February, the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April. 
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel) are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species: Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors, and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April. 

The 500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and November. 
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia. 

JEREMEIAH 49:23-27
23  Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24  Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25  How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26  Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27  And I will kindle a fire (NUKES OR BOMBS) in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.(ASSADS PALACES POSSIBLY IN DAMASCUS)

Trump says hasn’t decided on major Iran strikes, Tehran getting ‘serious’ in talks-Saudi-led coalition says it hit Houthi targets in Yemen, as US continues to bomb Islamic Republic targets and Iran retaliates with strikes across the region-By Agencies and ToI Staff 25 July 2026, 2:43 am

US President Donald Trump said Friday that he had not decided on whether to launch major strikes on Iran yet, as Tehran was now getting “serious” in talks with Washington.His comments came after reports that an increasingly frustrated Trump was meeting senior advisors to discuss launching a large-scale military operation against Iran.“No I haven’t,” Trump told journalists in the Oval Office when asked if he had made a decision. “Look, we’re talking to them right now. I think they’re getting more and more serious as the days go by, for maybe the obvious reason.”Trump said Iran had a choice between making a deal or facing a “much higher level” of strikes, after nearly two weeks of US attacks and Iranian strikes across the region that have left a ceasefire in tatters.The United States says it is carrying out the strikes to stop Iran closing the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Iran has carried out attacks on US bases that have killed four service members.“We’re locked and loaded and ready to go. But we’re talking to them, so I think while we’re talking, we’ll see what comes of it. I believe… they’re very serious. They should be,” Trump said.The war that Trump once predicted would last four or five weeks is now nearing its fifth month, and is weighing on the Republican’s approval ratings ahead of crucial midterm elections in November.‘Massive attack’-The New York Times reported earlier that Trump had met advisors on Friday to discuss whether to escalate the conflict, while the Axios news outlet quoted the US leader as saying on Thursday that he was considering a “massive attack” on Iran.Two Iranian officials cited by The New York Times Thursday warned that the next stage of the escalation in fighting between Washington and Tehran would include Iran striking Tel Aviv.Trump separately doubled down on comments in an earlier social media post in which he said he believed that Russia and China were not arming Iran, despite reports that both countries were giving Tehran intelligence to target US forces.“I mean, I will tell you that President Xi said he will not partake, and President Putin said the same thing. I think you know I trust them,” Trump told reporters. “I don’t think they’d want to have me disappointed.”Earlier in a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump had warned Moscow and Beijing not to sell weapons to Iran.“If they did, it would be very bad for them — certainly not in their best interests,” he wrote.US missiles struck targets across Iran on Friday, and Iranian armed forces responded by firing at US bases in neighboring Arab countries and warning people there that they could strike non-military buildings used by US personnel.Saudi-led coalition hits Houthis-The entrance to the Persian Gulf has so far been the focus of a war that has killed thousands in almost five months, stoked global inflation and fanned fears of an economic downturn.The Houthis, who control northern and western Yemen, have announced a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, which has diverted millions of barrels of oil each day by pipeline to the Red Sea to skirt Iran’s near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.After the Houthis said they had struck two Saudi tankers on Thursday, Trump said he would hold Iran accountable for any further attacks by the fighters.On Friday, several strikes hit Yemen’s Hodeidah port, eyewitnesses said. The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it carried out a “proportionate military response operation” that targeted Houthi military sites in Hodeidah governorate.Iran threatens US forcesThe US military launched air strikes on Iran late on Thursday and early on Friday, for a 13th consecutive night of attacks, prompting Iran to fire at neighboring Arab countries that host US bases.US missiles struck a Revolutionary Guards Navy headquarters in the Ziba Kenar area of the Caspian Sea province of Gilan, according to a security official in Gilan quoted by Iranian media. Provincial authorities said US projectiles had also struck the port city of Bandar Anzali, according to the ILNA news agency.Four people were killed and five injured in a US attack on the Iranian city of Ahvaz, the state broadcaster IRIB said.In a statement carried by Iran’s Fars news agency, the Revolutionary Guards warned the populations of Gulf countries of potential strikes against US military personnel who may be using “buildings in cities as locations to direct their crimes.”In a statement on X, the Iranian health ministry said 59 people had been killed and 666 wounded since the resumption of clashes with US forces in late June. It does not differentiate between military personnel and civilians.Iranian media cited the head of Iran’s top joint military command as saying Iran would kill a member of the US forces for every Iranian killed.The war has killed 18 US service members. The Pentagon said on Monday that 100 service members had been injured since July 7 and 96% have returned to duty. Officials have told Reuters that more than 500 US troops have been injured so far.Pakistan seeks renewed talks-The attack on the Saudi tankers on Thursday in the Red Sea’s Bab el-Mandeb Strait boosted oil prices 7% to top $100 per barrel for the first time since May.However, by around 1600 GMT on Friday, Brent futures were down more than $4 to a little over $96.Sources said Pakistan was exploring a path towards a resumption of stalled talks between the US and Iran over ending the war, following a push initiated by China.Exploratory discussions took place during a visit by Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni to Islamabad this week — his second within the last 10 days, three Pakistani sources said.Tankers rerouting, shipping insurance rises-The Houthi attacks forced several other tankers to turn around and head north through the Suez Canal, potentially using a much longer route to reach Asia by sailing around Africa.Shipping insurance costs through the southern Red Sea doubled for some companies on Thursday, sources said.Still, half of the 18 ships exiting Bab el-Mandeb on Thursday were carrying crude oil, including two Chinese supertankers. The number of tankers crossing through the Strait of Hormuz fell to just one on Thursday, the lowest since May 7.A Houthi spokesman said Friday that the Iran-backed terror group was not blocking traffic through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait into the Red Sea, adding that the group’s position was “limited to a maritime blockade that only affects the Saudi side.”The US and UK were planning a high-level conference that will bring together European and Middle Eastern senior officials to discuss protecting shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, according to Axios.The conference, to take place next week, has not been scheduled. But it is meant to include defense ministers and military chiefs from participating countries.US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and military chief Dan Caine are slated to attend, according to the report.US warns citizens in Mideast-The Iranian army said it had attacked US military equipment depots at Al-Adiri, officially named Camp Buehring, in northern Kuwait, and the positions of US troops at Camp Arifjan and at Camp Doha, near Kuwait City.In the early evening, Kuwait said its air defenses were intercepting “hostile” targets launched from Iran.Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had significantly damaged a surveillance tower used by the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.They also said they had attacked a US barracks and fighter jets in Jordan, and a US barracks and spy balloon as well as Patriot air defenses in Erbil in Iraq’s Kurdish region, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.Jordan’s army said it had downed seven Iranian missiles and six drones, state TV reported, and that the attack had caused no material damage or casualties.Several blasts sounded near Erbil airport, which hosts US-led coalition troops, an AFP journalist said. Explosions were heard after air defenses were activated, according to the journalist, who also saw drones hovering over the city and smoke rising in the airport area.The US embassy in Baghdad said US citizens in the Middle East should exercise caution and remain on heightened alert.

PM said planning to show Trump intel on Iran's rebuilding-As Trump pauses Iran strikes, Israel said to believe he’ll soon be forced to escalate-After first day of calm in some 2 weeks, Jerusalem sources tell Hebrew media that diplomacy is sure to fail, leaving US president no choice but to order major attack By ToI Staff, Nava Freiberg and Agencies 25 July 2026, 11:34 pmUpdated: Today, 4:14 am

After the United States refrained from striking Iran overnight Friday-Saturday for the first day in two weeks, Hebrew media reported Saturday that Jerusalem had been prepared for a major escalation in the war over the weekend, which never came. Despite the pause, Israeli leaders still estimate that US President Donald Trump would soon be compelled to step up military action, the reports said.After the quiet night in Iran, there were also no reports on Saturday of attacks by Iran on its Gulf neighbors, which have been taking place daily as well.Trump personally ordered the US military not to strike Iran on Friday and Saturday, Axios reported, citing two sources with knowledge of the directive.Kan reported that the Israeli military had prepared for a significant escalation in the conflict. Channel 12’s diplomatic corespondent Yaron Avraham reported the same, while Barak Ravid, who reports for both Channel 12 and US outlet Axios, said that according to his information, the strikes the US military had planned for Friday night, before Trump nixed them, had been no different in scale than those it had carried out over the previous 13 nights.Multiple outlets, including Axios and Kan, cited sources as saying that the US was still intending a major expansion of the fighting, but that Trump was now favoring allowing more time for negotiations.Kan reported that the US military has continued to send significant forces to Israel, including dozens of warplanes, refueling planes, air defenses and munitions. It said some 90 refuelers had arrived over the past few weeks and were stationed at Ben Gurion Airport and the Ramon and Ovda airbases — a similar deployment to the one that took place just before the US-Israeli war against Iran was launched in late February.A senior Israeli official told Channel 12 that “the chances of reaching an agreement between the United States and Iran are virtually nonexistent,” calling an eventual escalation in the conflict “inevitable.”Sources cited by Channel 13 and Ynet similarly predicted that diplomacy would fail and that Trump, who prefers negotiations, would eventually have “no choice” but to order a major attack.Trump has threatened in recent days to widen the range of targets to include Iran’s energy plants and bridges, send ground forces to seize its central oil hub on Kharg Island, and bomb a deep-underground nuclear site known as Pickaxe Mountain.On Friday, however, Trump said he had not yet made a decision on new major strikes.“We are talking to them,” he told reporters at the White House. “I think they’re being serious. I think… they are being by far the most serious that we’ve seen them, but that doesn’t mean we get there.”Concerns over depleted interceptor stockpiles were the focus of discussions between Trump and his top advisers before the administration decided to hold off on escalating its campaign, according to The New York Times.Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Dan Caine privately said that while the military was capable of launching major combat operations against Iran, interceptors available to CENTCOM would be exhausted, anonymous officials told the Times.Another senior US official told the outlet that there were doubts in the administration that an intensified campaign would pressure Iran into talks; rather, recent strikes have kept Iran united and focused on a foreign threat.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet Trump on Tuesday at the White House, the offices of both leaders have said.Channel 12 reported Saturday that Netanyahu and his team plan to present Trump with fresh intelligence on Iran’s efforts to rebuild its military and nuclear program during their meeting, including what Israeli officials believe are accelerated efforts under new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to advance toward a nuclear weapon.The report, citing Israeli sources, did not elaborate on the alleged moves or the intelligence Israel intends to present, though recent reports have detailed some. Previous private presentations by Netanyahu to Trump on Iran’s nuclear activities and alleged violations of its commitments reportedly played a significant role in the US decision to strike Iran.Meanwhile, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels fired on Saudi oil installations in two ports on the Red Sea coast on Saturday, in a sign that the war that has disrupted energy supplies from the Gulf could be spreading to a second major shipping route, and reigniting Yemen’s own civil war.Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group had successfully struck sites belonging to Saudi state oil giant Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu. Video shared on social media and verified by Reuters showed a large column of smoke rising from the direction of the Aramco refinery in Jizan.Yemen’s Houthis say they hit a Saudi Aramco oil facility in Jizan with missiles (and possibly drones) overnight, sparking fires. Videos of smoke are circulating and satellite data reportedly shows thermal hotspots at the site. Saudi Civil Defense briefly issued danger… pic.twitter.com/OHN8G41EVw Advertisement — Clash Report (@clashreport) July 25, 2026Two Asia-based trading sources said that they had been informed of potential damage to fuel and oil storage sites at Jizan. Aramco did not respond to requests for comment.In Yanbu, two ballistic missiles aimed at oil installations were intercepted by a US-made Patriot battery operated in Saudi Arabia by the Greek military under an agreement with Riyadh, Greek security sources said.Yanbu is Saudi Arabia’s main Red Sea oil port, where millions of barrels a day are loaded, and has become the main route out for Saudi oil skirting the Strait of Hormuz, which has been essentially closed off by Iran. Jizan, on the Red Sea close to the Yemeni border, is the site of a refinery with a capacity of 400,000 barrels per day.In Yemen, the air force of the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized government, which has opposed the Houthis for more than a decade, struck Houthi missile and drone launch sites and arms depots in the Marib and al-Jawf provinces, Yemeni officials said.The Saudi-led military alliance said it had bombed Houthi military positions on Friday in the Red Sea port of Hodeida.The Yemeni officials said both sides in Yemen’s civil war were mobilizing forces along the front.Saudi Arabia led an Arab coalition against the Houthis after the Iran-aligned fighters captured Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, in 2014, though the alliance and the conflict had been largely dormant in recent years.The Yemeni civil war, during which hundreds of thousands of people died from fighting and famine, has been paused under a ceasefire since 2022. But that truce broke down this month, with the Houthis effectively joining the wider war their Iranian allies have waged since being attacked by the US and Israel.The Houthis have declared a naval blockade of Saudi Arabia over the past week, and Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said all Saudi oil facilities could be targets.The move has contributed in recent days to one of the war’s sharpest rises in global oil prices, with Brent crude spiking above $100 a barrel for the first time since May.

Greek Patriot battery stationed in Saudi makes interceptions-US, Iran appear to halt strikes after 13 days of mutual attacks-Violence continues amid flare-up between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Houthis, with Saudis hitting a port and Yemeni rebels firing missiles and drones at Saudi oil installations-By Agencies and ToI Staff 25 July 2026, 2:16 pm

Iran reported no strikes overnight into Saturday, an apparent break from nearly two consecutive weeks of US nighttime attacks, but tensions remain high following a recent escalation over control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz and an exchange of fire reported between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.Iranian Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour posted on X, saying that “Iran had a peaceful night,” without any attacks reported. The US Central Command didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. However, unlike the previous 13 nights, it did not announce new strikes.Sirens sounded multiple times early Saturday in Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu and Jizan provinces, which house crucial oil facilities on the Red Sea, according to the Saudi Civil Defense. It said the sirens were because of a “potential danger” that was later lifted, without providing further details. Those sirens appear to have been caused by missile fire from Yemen.Bahrain also sounded missile alerts early Saturday, but no casualties have been reported.A tenuous ceasefire that appeared to halt major operations in the conflict that started with American and Israeli attacks on Iran seemed to unravel in early July. Iran was accused of striking three ships in the strait. The US responded by striking dozens of targets in Iran, which retaliated by firing at Arab states in the region.The Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passage for world energy supplies effectively shut down by Iranian attacks, has been at the center of the conflict. The US military fired Friday on a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Oman that was trying to breach its renewed blockade of Iran’s ports, while Iran targeted US-allied Gulf Arab countries.And on Saturday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said their forces stopped four ships attempting to transit the strategic Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours.“Four vessels that had intended to transit through the southern area of the Strait of Hormuz via an illegal and unsafe route were stopped over the past 24 hours after warning shots were fired by the IRGC Navy,” the Guards said in a statement quoted by state television, adding that the ships had “altered course.”It was not immediately clear whether the halt in attacks signalled a return to diplomacy or if it was just a pause before a return to conflict.US President Donald Trump said Friday that he had not decided whether to launch major strikes on Iran yet, as Tehran was now getting “serious” in talks with Washington.His comments came after reports that an increasingly frustrated Trump was meeting senior advisors to discuss launching a large-scale military operation against Iran.“No I haven’t,” Trump told journalists in the Oval Office when asked if he had made a decision. “Look, we’re talking to them right now. I think they’re getting more and more serious as the days go by, for maybe the obvious reason.”Trump said Iran had a choice between making a deal or facing a “much higher level” of strikes, after nearly two weeks of US attacks and Iranian strikes across the region that have left a ceasefire in tatters.“We’re locked and loaded and ready to go. But we’re talking to them, so I think while we’re talking, we’ll see what comes of it. I believe… they’re very serious. They should be,” Trump said.US embassies in the Middle East also alerted Americans in the region on Friday that options to leave could become more limited, as Iran’s Revolutionary Guard advised residents of neighboring countries to stay away from bases with US troops.Saudi-Houthi clashes flare-But while Iran had a calm night, the conflict showed signs of intensifying in nearby Yemen.Iran’s Houthi allies targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea this week, raising concerns the group may again try to block Red Sea shipping routes. In response, Saudi Arabia struck the port city of Hodeida in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said early Saturday.Meanwhile, air defense systems in Saudi Arabia intercepted two ballistic missiles from Yemen on Saturday targeting oil refineries in Yanbu on the Red Sea, Greek security sources told Reuters.Saudi civil defense had issued several warnings for Yanbu and later said the danger had passed. Civil defense also issued a warning for the port city of Jizan about 1,000 km (620 miles) to the south, close to the Yemeni border.There were no immediate official reports of damage; however, footage from Jizan showed plumes of black smoke rising into the air from the Aramco refinery in Jizan.The defense system was operated by Greek military personnel, the sources said. Greece has deployed a US-made Patriot air defense battery in Saudi Arabia since 2021 under an agreement to help protect the kingdom’s energy infrastructure.Later on Saturday, the Greek Patriot system also shot down a drone in the Yanbu region that had been launched from Yemen, Greek security sources said.Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday denied any Iranian involvement in the escalating Yemen conflict and called for dialogue.“We believe that there is no military solution to the issue of Yemen, Bab el-Mandab, and other regional issues,” said Araghchi in an interview published on Saturday by the state-run Iran Daily newspaper, calling for “dialogue.”He said the situation in Yemen “cannot be attributed to Iran” and that the incidents occurring in the area of the Bab el-Mandab Strait were “rooted in old disputes and issues between Yemen, Saudi Arabia and the countries of the region.”Sources have said that Iran has asked the Houthis to block Bab al-Mandab if the US targets Iranian energy centers and have been sending IRGC officers and equipment to Yemen.Renewed conflict between the Houthis in Yemen and Saudi Arabia — which had largely been frozen since a UN-negotiated truce in 2022 — flared up this month with the Tehran-backed rebels declaring a blockade of Saudi ports and claiming attacks on tankers.The blockade has threatened Saudi Arabia’s ability to get its supplies to the world following Iran’s parallel blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the kingdom’s only other maritime route.On Friday, a Houthi spokesman said the rebels were not blocking traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and that the maritime blockade “only affects the Saudi side.”The war has so far killed more than 3,400 people in Iran, according to the Iranian Health Ministry. Eighteen US service members and 24 civilians in Israel were killed, and smaller numbers of civilians were reported dead in countries across the region.In Lebanon, more than 4,000 people have been killed, according to figures that do not differentiate between civilians and combatants, as well as 38 Israeli troops, after the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group fired at Israel in support of the Islamic Republic.Israel says it has killed more than 2,500 Hezbollah operatives.

Iran said constantly honing ballistic missiles to better avoid air defenses-According to The Wall Street Journal, the Kheibar missile, which can reach Israel, is being continuously adapted, employing complex maneuvers to get past interceptors-By ToI Staff 25 July 2026, 7:47 pm

Iran is increasingly relying on its Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile in its regional attacks, all the while adapting and enhancing its capabilities to better evade air defenses, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.The Kheibar Shekan, or Kheibar-buster, is named after a Jewish castle overrun by Muslim warriors in the early days of Islam.It has a range of 1,450 kilometers (900 miles), making it fully capable of reaching Gulf nations and Israel. Its ability to be quickly deployed and launched has helped the Iranians avoid air strikes during the war by the Israeli and US air forces as they hunted for and eliminated launch sites.The report said Iranian forces have been using the missile in recent attacks on US assets in the region in recent weeks, as fighting restarted, often varying its trajectory, speed, and maneuvering to complicate interception efforts. Some models of the missile are able to perform last-minute maneuvers in the final stage of flight, helping them avoid interceptors.A US official speaking to the paper said most Kheibar Shekan missiles launched at the region have been successfully shot down, but some have been able to punch through defenses using such advanced methods, indicating the Iranians are studying interceptions and learning how to better circumvent them.Missile expert Fabian Hinz told The Journal that Tehran “has seen what types of maneuvers are the most effective ones for overcoming missile defense. Every single combat use gives you some sort of data, so that’s very useful for the Iranians.”Despite intense Israeli and American efforts to destroy Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities during this year’s war, Iran is believed to retain significant capabilities.In April, shortly before a temporary ceasefire was announced in the fighting, Channel 12 news reported that the Israeli military believes Iran still had more than 1,000 ballistic missiles that could reach Israel, citing an Israeli Air Force intelligence officer.In late May, the network reported that Iran had resumed production of ballistic missiles, launchers and other critical weapons systems far faster than initially expected, citing updated US intelligence assessments and a senior Israeli official.According to that report, Tehran restarted manufacturing using surviving components, improvised underground facilities, and partially restored production lines, with assistance from Russia and China.The report said Israeli defense officials assessed Iran could significantly ramp up ballistic missile production within about a year, or possibly sooner. Channel 12 reported that updated intelligence assessments also indicated that roughly two-thirds of Iran’s missile launchers remained operational, contradicting earlier wartime estimates that about half had been destroyed.During most of the war, Iran would fire some 10-15 missiles at Israel a day. Though this allowed Israel’s air defenses to intercept most of the missiles, limiting damage and casualties, it also preserved Iran’s capabilities for the long term while keeping Israelis repeatedly running to shelters every day for weeks, exhausting the home front.The April ceasefire put a stop to the Iranian barrages, but Tehran has increasingly targeted Gulf nations in recent weeks as the conflict has erupted once more, and Israel is increasingly braced for the possibility it will be drawn into the fighting.AP and Stav Levaton contributed to this report.

'Any Jews wanna go to the chambers?' - 6th grade group text-‘Planning lives elsewhere’: These Jews are leaving NY due to antisemitism, politics-While the vast majority of Jewish New Yorkers are remaining, some are relocating to Israel or nearby states, citing Mayor Zohran Mamdani, schools and discrimination-By Agatha Khishchenko Today, 4:18 pm

NEW YORK — Ron Dov, an American-Israeli, watched his progressive LGBTQ+ community in New York City embrace anti-Israel politics following the October 7, 2023, Hamas invasion of Israel and ensuing war in Gaza.A chat group he had been in for years, focused on event tickets for the gay community, became a forum for anti-Zionism and accusations of genocide in Gaza. Any view that did not align with that consensus was immediately dismissed, Dov said, adding that the group had never before discussed politics.Anti-Zionist activism came to the fore in community events such as NYC Pride and the Dyke March, and in queer art spaces and LGBTQ+ college clubs.Prior to October 7, Dov said he had not experienced any similar issues in the LGBTQ+ community.“I was like, ‘What the hell am I doing here?’” said Dov, a 39-year-old with dual American-Israeli citizenship. “The LGBTQ community is probably the most anti-Israel and anti-Zionist community, and they’re the community that’s supposed to be the most welcoming, most understanding, and it’s become the exact opposite.”Dov began preparing a move to Israel due to the antisemitism and hatred toward Israel he witnessed in the LGBTQ+ community. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s rise last year sealed the deal for his decision to leave, Dov said. He made aliyah, or immigrated to Israel, in December 2025, weeks after Mamdani won the general election.Mamdani’s win spurred discourse among Jewish New Yorkers about leaving the city, some of whom have followed through, decamping to Israel or nearby US states. Those who left pointed to multiple factors, including antisemitism on the streets and in schools, anti-Israel protests and the political climate.New York City primary election wins last month by Mamdani-backed anti-Israel candidates have solidified the decision for those who moved or are in the process of relocating.Asked this month if he had any regrets about leaving, Dov said, “Zero. Oh my God, 0.000%.”‘I was done’Dov is not the only Jewish New Yorker who has left due to politics and antisemitism.Robin Reiter, a single parent to a teenage son, moved from Manhattan’s Upper East Side to Jersey City, New Jersey, on June 26, three days after the primary elections. She cited antisemitism, concerns with the city’s public schools and politics as motivating her decision to leave.“I was very sure as soon as [Mamdani] got elected that I was done,” Reiter said.Mamdani, who identifies as an anti-Zionist, has made anti-Israel activism central to his politics. His ascendancy marked a sea change in New York City, where support for Israel in City Hall had been a given for generations. The recent Democratic Party primary wins by a trio of Israel critics indicated his victory was not a one-off.The political transformation came after “thousands” of anti-Israel protests on city streets, antisemitic incidents in city schools and a spike in anti-Jewish hate crimes in the city, where Jews are targeted far more than any other group. Protests in the city regularly feature open support for Hamas and other terrorist groups, and calls to purge “Zionists.”Mamdani, who often condemns antisemitism, has Jewish allies and supporters, and has pledged to combat anti-Jewish discrimination in the city, including by increasing funding for hate crimes prevention.Critics argue that his anti-Zionist politics contribute to a hostile atmosphere against mainstream Jews and he has repeatedly clashed with prominent Jewish leaders.Reiter added that she could no longer justify paying taxes to an educational system and a mayor who she felt was opposed to the Jewish community.She said the results of the primary election the week she moved were another sign that she made the right choice.“No part of me has regretted this,” Reiter said.Protests, politics and a pull from Israel-Dov said that seeing hundreds of anti-Israel protesters streaming down his West Village street, coupled with anti-Zionism in the LGBTQ+ community and the changing political dynamics in New York, spurred his decision to leave.There was also the draw of life in Israel. Dov said he was not running away from New York, but toward a life in the Jewish state. Making aliyah was something he had always dreamed about, and he sees upside to a long-term future in Israel, he said.While there does not appear to be any updated data about Jews immigrating from New York to Israel or elsewhere, it seems clear that there is no mass exodus from the city. The vast majority of Jewish New Yorkers are staying in place.There is evidence of an uptick in Jews who are considering a move, though. According to Nefesh B’Nefesh, an organization that facilitates immigration to Israel, applications to make aliyah from New York have increased since October 7, alongside a broader spike in North America. From the November 2025 mayoral election to July 2026, Nefesh B’Nefesh received 1,936 aliyah applications, a 31% increase over the 1,476 applications for the same period the previous year.Like Dov, Arielle Sabol had long considered moving to Israel. Sabol, 35, moved to New York in her early twenties. She grew up in a Massachusetts community with few Jews, and one of the reasons she relocated to New York was because the city felt so Jewish, she said.Sabol, a mother of two young daughters, said she no longer felt at ease in New York, citing protests that flooded her Brooklyn community, hearing “genocide” accusations from hecklers while picking up Shabbat candles from Chabad emissaries, and the politics becoming more anti-Israel.She said that, while speaking Hebrew on the playground with her daughters, “People would scoff at me and walk away,” and that she no longer felt comfortable sending her 4-year-old to a non-Jewish school.Sabol and her husband, Alex, started contemplating a move to Israel in June 2025. In early 2026, after Mamdani was elected, they decided to start the aliyah process. Sabol and her family, including her mother, will move to Israel later this month.“I definitely think the mayoral election and the rhetoric around it, there’s like this overwhelming community that’s just against you,” Sabol said. “The [primary] election that just happened, that is more evidence we made the right decision.”‘No doubts in my mind’The immigrants from New York are part of wider trends in the Diaspora and Israel. The Immigration and Absorption Ministry reported a 25% jump in immigrants last year from the United States, France, Britain and Canada.At the same time, thousands of Israelis have immigrated abroad amid the war and domestic political turmoil. Israel recorded a negative migration balance in 2024 and 2025.Jewish immigration is not only to or from Israel, either. Some Canadian Jews are weighing a relocation to the US, for example.A 2024 Pew Research Study found that Jews are far more likely to immigrate than other religious groups.Experts have said that Jews, like other migrants, are influenced by a range of factors in addition to antisemitism, such as socioeconomic conditions and education.Abby Brody, an education expert and author who left New York City before Mamdani’s election, said concerns about schools and antisemitism had pushed her to move from Manhattan’s Greenwich Village after 24 years.Brody had never considered relocating until a New York University protest encampment appeared in her neighborhood. Brody said she had tried engaging with the protestors, but was labeled a “Zionist agitator,” physically surrounded and pushed out of the encampment. She could hear protesters chanting outside her first-floor apartment, where she lived with her husband and two sons.At the same time, her sixth-grade son received group texts from classmates with images of Adolf Hitler and a statement that said, “Any Jews here wanna go to the chambers.”Brody said her school’s lack of a response, coupled with the protests and the overall climate in the city, spurred her decision to leave New York. She moved to Westport, Connecticut, in May 2024. She said her two sons are enrolled in public school and her family has not experienced any antisemitism in their new home.“My kids have created the most incredible friendships. They’re really proudly Jewish and have no fear to wear their Stars of David,” Brody said. “That, to me, is the most important thing right now.”She has set up a group, called Found a Tribe, to connect Jews and allies who lost friendships due to antisemitism.While she left before Mamdani became mayor, she felt his victory vindicated her move.“I felt very much a sense of betrayal when Mamdani won,” Brody said. “What Jews have brought to New York City, the arts, all the things, to have this man elected, I felt was an ultimate betrayal.”Some Jewish New Yorkers plan to leave the city, but are earlier in the relocation process.Martha Tabachnikova, 40, a Brooklyn lawyer, said she and her husband were working on a long-term plan to relocate.Born in Odesa, Ukraine, Tabachnikova moved to the United States as a Soviet Jewish refugee when she was three years old. She has been living in her childhood home in Mill Basin, Brooklyn, for nearly thirty years and has two boys, ages nine and 12.After the anti-Israel candidates swept their primaries last month, Tabachnikova said she and her husband began discussing a move, although they do not yet have definitive plans.“I have no doubts in my mind that my children should be planning their lives elsewhere,” Tabachnikova said.

IDF admits illegal outposts have become big security burden-Settlers rampage across West Bank amid burial of civil security officer shot by Palestinian-Father of Israeli killed in settler raid calls on gov’t to build settlements in Gaza and Lebanon, as settlers ransack over a dozen villages, set fire to buildings and farmland-By ToI Staff and Emanuel Fabian-24 July 2026, 11:19 pm

Young settler extremists rioted in Palestinian towns across the West Bank on Friday afternoon, as a funeral was held for an Israeli civil security squad member who was shot dead by a Palestinian who managed to snatch his gun while fending off a settler raid of his village.Settler rampages were reported in over a dozen villages across the northern West Bank, where several hundred Israelis hurled stones, torched homes and reportedly wounded over a dozen Palestinians.Weekends regularly see an uptick in settler violence, as hundreds of national religious yeshiva students often join friends living in illegal outposts throughout the West Bank, from which they descend to carry out attacks on Palestinians in larger numbers than during the week.But this weekend is poised to be particularly violent after the Friday morning gunfight in the northern West Bank village of Tell. A group of settlers — some well underage and accompanied by armed adults — raided the town, claiming they were on a hike, though the army later said that the visit into Areas A and B where Israelis are barred had not been coordinated.Palestinians sought to repel the raiding settlers and a clash broke out, with one of the Palestinians managing to snatch the weapon of Benayahu Mellet, a 32-year-old member of the neighboring Havat Gilad settlement’s civil security squad that had been dispatched to the scene along with artillery soldiers stationed nearby, the IDF said.A gunfight ensued, with the Palestinian fatally shooting Mellet along with Maj. Yuval Ezra, an IDF officer who had also been dispatched to the scene.A platoon commander who arrived with Ezra to the scene managed to shoot dead the attacker, and three other Palestinians were also killed in the gunfight. In addition, two Israelis — one critically and one seriously — and four Palestinians were wounded, three of whom critically.The punishment: More settlements-Mellet was laid to rest in Havat Gilad later Friday afternoon. A reserves commander in the Jerusalem Brigade’s 8119th Battalion, the master sergeant received a military burial because he was recognized as a fallen soldier. Ezra will be buried on Sunday.Coalition lawmakers and government ministers were present at the Friday funeral, including Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Orit Strock, Ze’ev Elkin, Limor Son Har Melech and Amit Helvi.Mellet’s widow, Esther, said they were together for 14 years before it all “ended in a moment.”“You always leapt at being the first one to go anywhere,” she said in her eulogy. “This time as well, there was no question. It was clear to me that you were there.”“I wasn’t worried when I saw the helicopters [responding to the clash], because you always came back. Just this time you didn’t come back at all,” she lamented.Mellet’s father, Boaz, called in his eulogy for Israel, in the final days of the current right-wing government’s term, to dismantle the Palestinian Authority, expand settlements in the West Bank in addition to establishing settlements in Gaza and southern Lebanon.He added, “Benayahu worked, toiled, for the settlement of the land… I call to follow the path of Benayahu and our loved ones.”Attendees at the funeral repeatedly chanted “revenge!”‘Revenge’That sentiment was acted upon before, during and after the funeral took place.In the nearby village of Far’ata, settlers attacked residents and torched several buildings, according to Palestinian media reports and footage from the scene.Seven Palestinians were wounded during the raid, mainly by gunfire, the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said. The IDF did not respond to requests for comment about whether its troops had taken part in the raid or if the gunfire came from settlers, who are often armed by Israeli authorities.Israeli settler terrorists attacked the Palestinian village of Urif in the West Bank, setting homes and vehicles on fire and attempting to burn a family alive inside their home. pic.twitter.com/eJ0ZKBN5jw — Ihab Hassan (@IhabHassane) July 24, 2026-Masked settlers were also filmed raiding the northern West Bank village of Sarra, where three residents were wounded and six homes were torched. Settlers also set fire to five vehicles and several acres of farmland amid clashes with Palestinians who tried to confront them, the Palestinian Authority’s official Wafa news site reported.In the Jordan Valley area of Mu’arrajat — a hamlet abandoned by Bedouin last year after repeated settler attacks — a Palestinian driver was stopped by settlers and stabbed in the back, according to Arabic media reports.A Palestinian family's home was set on fire by Israeli settler terrorists in the village of Urif in the West Bank, in an attempt to burn the family alive inside.

The pair had reportedly been receiving treatment for wounds sustained in the gunfight.IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited the site of the shooting in Tell where he vowed that the military will hunt down “all the terrorists involved in the terror attack.”But during a briefing with reporters, a military official acknowledged that illegal Israeli outposts throughout the West Bank have become one of the IDF’s “biggest challenges.”The military official said that the more than 80 outposts in the territory are creating challenges for the military’s ability to maintain control and order in the West Bank.“The issue of the outposts today, especially the violent ones, is one of the most challenging issues there is,” the official said on condition of anonymity.Settler violence has surged in the West Bank in recent months, with near-daily attacks, though arrests and indictments for the violence are rare. Critics have accused the government of condoning the attacks and doing too little to stop them.Alongside the outposts, there are also 126 settlement farms, which are also illegal under Israeli law, but have been established with near-full support from the government.The officer said the farming outposts are also creating a “huge challenge” for the army’s efforts to protect them.As a result, two weeks ago, the IDF deployed two more battalions permanently to the West Bank, bringing the total number there to 24.

UK PM Burnham’s new solicitor general met with Hamas in 2010-Andy Slaughter, who will have wide power over decisions related to terrorist organizations, is accused of harboring ‘sympathy for Hamas’By Zev Stub-Today, 2:57 pm

One of the first appointments by new UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is already under fire after resurfaced pictures showed him in a meeting with Hamas members in Jerusalem in 2010.Andy Slaughter, who was appointed solicitor general soon after Burnham took office as the country’s seventh prime minister in a decade on Monday, joined then-Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn on a fact-finding trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories in November 2010, sponsored by Friends of Al-Aqsa and the pro-Palestinian nonprofit Middle East Monitor.Pictures of the meeting, originally posted and since deleted by the Monitor, were published late Saturday by The Telegraph newspaper, which quoted the Monitor report as noting that the delegation met with Palestinian representatives of both Hamas and the rival Palestinian Authority’s Fatah party.In his new position, Slaughter would wield significant power over decisions related to the prosecution of proscribed terrorist organizations, including Hamas, the Telegraph noted. The UK solicitor general serves as deputy attorney general, provides legal advice to the government, and helps oversee major legal and prosecution departments.His appointment to that post was “an absolute disgrace,” shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy told The Telegraph, accusing Slaughter of showing “sympathy for Hamas.”The photograph from the visit shows Slaughter and Corbyn alongside Mohammed Totah, Ahmed Attoun and Khaled Abu-Arafeh, all of whom held positions associated with Hamas.Attoun was arrested by Israeli authorities and deported from Jerusalem to the West Bank in 2011. Totah and Abu-Arafeh were later arrested after spending 18 months inside an International Committee of the Red Cross compound in East Jerusalem to avoid detention and deportation by Israeli authorities for their involvement with the terror group.Slaughter was a Labour MP at the time of the visit.The MEMO description of the visit details the many accounts of “crimes” of the “Israeli occupation” including home demolitions, “ethnic cleansing,” and “apartheid” that the MPs heard at every stop they made. They also learned about the importance of the BDS boycott against Israel and were urged to support it.From the detailed 47-page MEMO report of the visit, it appears that the delegation did not meet with any Jewish Israelis during the four days.The report also noted that Slaughter traveled to Gaza in March 2010 on a separate trip with the Britain-Palestine All-Party Parliamentary Group. During that visit, he said he met Faraj al-Ghoul, then Hamas’s justice minister, and Ahmed Yousef, Hamas’ deputy foreign minister and a senior adviser to Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.Shortly after that visit, he wrote an article in The Guardian arguing that negotiations with Hamas should take place “without preconditions.”According to The Telegraph, Slaughter was also one of four MPs who voted against the Labour Party adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism in 2018. Now, he will be one of just two UK officers with a say in prosecutions related to Hamas, the report said.“Andy Slaughter should have no place in government,” Timothy said following Slaughter’s appointment to the position. “It beggars belief that Labour have handed him the final say on proscription decisions and command of the government legal department.”In a statement to The Telegraph, the Attorney General’s Office rejected criticism of Slaughter’s appointment, saying that Slaughter has consistently condemned Hamas, supports a two-state solution, and will carry out his duties with political impartiality and adherence to the rule of law.Slaughter did not respond to a request by The Telegraph for comment.Britain declared the military wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, a terrorist organization in 2001. in November 2021, it expanded its proscription to the entire organization.Under UK law, membership in or support for Hamas is a criminal offense carrying penalties of up to 14 years in prison.Earlier this month, Burnham caused alarm among Jewish organizations when he said Britain must do more to pressure Israel over its treatment of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and that it must bar the sale of weapons that Israel will use in the West Bank and Gaza.“It’s completely unacceptable that innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed,” he said. “That there’s still a humanitarian crisis with too little aid getting in, and that the Israeli military continues to expand the area it controls in Gaza. We’ve got to do more to put pressure on the Israeli government.”Burnham succeeded Keir Starmer, who had boasted that one of his main achievements was ridding Labor of the antisemitism that had infested the party under previous leader Corbyn, who was seen in the same photo with Slaughter.Corbyn also faced criticism for calling terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah “friends” when inviting members for a parliamentary meeting in 2009. He later downplayed the comment and said he regretted using the term.He was also pictured standing next to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine chief Maher al-Taher, at a commemoration ceremony for the Black September terrorists who took part in the 1972 massacre of 11 Israelis at the Munich Olympics.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Berlin police identify suspect in deadly Pride parade car attack-'Our search for this person is proceeding at full speed,' spokesperson says-The Associated Press · Posted: Jul 25, 2026 5:18 PM EDT | 

A van slammed into people gathered for Berlin's Pride celebrations on Saturday night, killing one person and injuring at least 16 others. Berlin police said they have identified a suspect who has ties to Islamic extremists in the German capital and are searching for him.A van slammed into people gathered for Berlin's famed 2SLGBTQ+ event on Saturday night, killing one person, injuring at least 16 others and prompting police to call off the celebrations and a concert hours after they had begun.Berlin police said they have identified a suspect who has not been arrested and has ties to Islamic extremists in the German capital."The suspect is known to police. He is known to us as a member of Islamic circles here in Berlin, and our search for this person is proceeding at full speed," police spokesperson Florian Nath said. He did not identify the suspect by name.Earlier, police said some of the victims had life-threatening injuries. Firefighters and ambulances were out with many emergency staffers at the scene to attend to the victims."We are conducting an intensive search for possible suspects," Nath said in a short video released earlier on the Berlin police account on X.'Attack on our free and cosmopolitan society'According to police, a white van had driven into Tiergarten park, which was just off the route that the Pride march had passed along earlier, and hit several people before colliding with a tree. Police could not say how many officers had been deployed to the scene but that it was "definitely a lot of police."Overall, more than 2,200 police officers have been on duty in Berlin since Saturday morning to protect the Pride parade and other related events in the city.Police were conducting witness interrogations at the park during the night and investigating accounts that in addition to the crash, some victims appeared to have suffered stab wounds — but that it was too early to draw any conclusion from those accounts.Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner expressed shock, saying that "following a peaceful and vibrant Pride parade, the rally for a tolerant and peaceful Berlin was attacked in the most brutal manner.""This is an attack on our free and cosmopolitan society," Wegner said, adding that his thoughts were with the victims, their families and friends."I have confidence in the police and security authorities, who will be working around the clock to investigate."Meanwhile, authorities called on possible witnesses to come forward and share with police any video or photos they might have taken at the scene of the attack.The city also activated a crisis hotline for people missing friends or family members.'Dark day for the community'Hundreds of thousands of people had come to Berlin on Saturday to celebrate at the city's Pride parade, known in Germany as Christopher Street Day. It's one of Europe's largest 2SLGBTQ+ celebrations.The Pride event in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate in downtown Berlin was called off at about 10:15 p.m. local time, and a band's performance on stage was interrupted. People were urged to go home and avoid taking the route through Tiergarten park.Before the incident, people had celebrated peacefully, marching through the city for hours, dancing to loud music, and cheering the roughly 80 floats that participated in the parade.Julian Miethig, who had attended events at the Brandenburg Gate earlier, said he had just wanted to go to an afterparty when he heard from a friend that "something bad happened there, and there are a lot of fire trucks, a lot of emergency vehicles, ambulances."He said he went to Tiergarten and was shocked that something like this could have happened at Berlin's Pride celebrations."It's a dark day for the community," Miethig said.

 Zelenskyy warns of 'massive' Russian attack within 48 hours-The Associated Press.By Nathan Rennolds-Published on 25/07/2026 

On Friday, Ukrainian authorities said Russian missile strikes on the Kyiv region killed at least 10 people and injured around 100 more.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned of a "massive" new Russian attack on Ukraine.In a post on X, the Ukrainian leader said intelligence suggested Moscow had "readied missiles" for an attack "within the next 48 hours.""Please take care of yourselves and pay attention to air raid alerts," he wrote.It comes after Ukrainian authorities said Russian missile strikes on the Kyiv region on Friday killed at least 10 people and injured around 100 more. The strikes reportedly hit an arms exhibition where representatives of the Ukrainian defence industry were present.A further five people were killed following guided aerial bomb strikes in Slovyansk, per Zelenskyy.Latvia's foreign minister confirmed that the Latvian consulate in Slovyansk was damaged in the attacks.Responding to the news in a statement posted to social media, Kaja Kallas, the European Union's top diplomat, said the strike on the consulate "underscores Moscow’s utter disregard for international law.""Latvia has our full support," she added.Ukrainian strikes on Russia-On Saturday, Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukrainian forces had carried out strikes on a weapons facility in Kirov on Friday night.Ukraine also targeted an oil refinery in Tyumen, a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg, and a fuel and lubricants depot in Rostov‑on‑Don, he said."We also achieved very strong results with long‑range strikes in the Caspian Sea – including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship," he added, while also sharing video footage appearing to show the aftermath of some of the strikes.In Ukraine, one person died and nine were injured following a Russian attack on the southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia on Saturday, per local authorities.Zelenskyy to meet with Trump-Zelenskyy is due to meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington next week as the US and Ukraine continue to discuss peace proposals to end the war, which began following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that he had spoken with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, about efforts to end the conflict."A good and important conversation about how to energize diplomacy and bring peace closer," he said.Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sat down with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) foreign ministers' summit in the Philippines.According to the Kremlin, Lavrov used the meeting to warn Washington against continuing arms sales to Kyiv."Lavrov briefed his American counterpart on the actual situation along the front line and emphasised that it would be unacceptable to further arm the Kyiv regime," a statement from the Russian foreign ministry read.Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Rubio said the pair had a "good," "frank" conversation but declined to go into more detail.Asked specifically about the Kremlin's statement, Rubio said: "We sell arms via PURL, which is an initiative we have through NATO and that's what we're involved in. There's been no change to our policy in that regard"."We want a peace deal. We want the war to end," he added.

Canada remains anti-nuke, but its potential path to the bomb is getting shorter-This country has all the elements needed for a clandestine nuclear weapons program — if it so desired-Evan Dyer · CBC News · Posted: Jul 26, 2026 4:00 AM EDT | 

For decades, Canada’s official policy on nuclear weapons has been that they shouldn’t exist, and there is no sign that principle is about to be abandoned.But for reasons of history and geography, Canada is also one of the world's non-nuclear countries with the easiest technical path to a nuclear weapon. And because of the particular design of its CANDU reactors, it would also be one of the countries best-positioned to produce weapons-grade fissile material without tripping international alerts — although such a move would carry huge geopolitical risks.Technological changes that are expected in the coming years will likely make Canada even more of a threshold nuclear arms power than it is today, whether it chooses to cross that threshold or not."The only thing that inhibits Canada is the will to do it, the political decision to do it," said nuclear weapons expert Steve Fetter of the University of Maryland, who served as head of national security and international affairs in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.He's also a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on International Security and Arms Control, and the originator of the "Fetter Model," the standard technique used in arms control verification for detecting the presence of nuclear warheads through radiography."Canada was a major participant in the Manhattan Project, as was the U.K.," Fetter told CBC News. "Immediately after the [Second World War], we froze you out and said, 'No co-operation.' So Canada decided — as did the U.K. — to develop its own completely indigenous program."The heavy water route-The U.K., of course, went on to become a nuclear arms power, while Canada did not.Canada designed the CANDU heavy water reactors that use unenriched, natural uranium containing only about 0.7 per cent of the U-235 isotope needed to make nuclear weapons. Most of the world’s 440-odd nuclear reactors are light water units that require uranium enriched to about four per cent U-235 content.For this reason, and despite being the world’s second-biggest producer of uranium, Canada has never enriched domestically.However, the CANDU is anything but a proliferation-proof technology, because it is not only the best kind of reactor for producing the plutonium-239 isotope used in bombs, but also for concealing its production."You do produce plutonium in a light water reactor," said Fetter. "But that plutonium is contained in highly radioactive spent fuel and it's not really high-quality."Light water reactors work by loading enriched uranium, sealing the reactor core and then running it for 18-24 months before shutting down, reopening the core and replacing fuel. This makes it relatively easy to keep track of how much fuel is going in, and what is happening to the spent fuel that comes out. It’s impossible to secretly swap fuel rods while the reactor is generating power.The Canadian heavy water reactor doesn’t work that way.Three people and a clock.Harder to monitor-"All uranium-fuelled reactors produce plutonium. The issue with the CANDU is that it has online refuelling," explained Ed Lyman, director of nuclear safety for the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C. "You're refuelling continuously, which makes it harder for the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency]."Canada, which produces all of its own uranium, would be in a strong position to divert fissionable material undetected if so inclined, say the experts.The plutonium produced in a heavy water reactor is also much easier to turn into a nuclear weapon, said Fetter."Of the countries that have made nuclear weapons with plutonium, many of them have used a heavy water reactor," he said.That’s why India used a Canadian heavy water reactor to produce its first nuclear weapon in 1974, an all-plutonium implosion-type bomb. The "Smiling Buddha" test was the first to break the nuclear monopoly of the "Big Five" UN Security Council powers.Fetter said the U.S. had heavy water reactors only for the purpose of producing plutonium and tritium. (Tritium, also produced in abundance by the CANDU reactor, is another critical component of a modern two-stage thermonuclear weapon that Canada has in abundance.)-Using riskier fuels-Canada is also branching out into a new kind of technology that will require enriched uranium: the small modular reactor (SMR). Some of the proposed SMRs would use uranium enriched to a level as high as 20 per cent, known as high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU).HALEU is already a proliferation concern in itself, said Lyman."Anything below 20 per cent is considered low-enriched uranium and has a much lower level of oversight. The IAEA considers it indirect-use material you can't directly use in a bomb,” he explained. "But there's evidence, both historical and technical, that that's not true, and that the actual cutoff for weapon-usable uranium is below 20 per cent. Could be 15 per cent, could be 10 per cent."And so I worry about this push for advanced reactors, SMRs that use HALEU up near 20 per cent, like the ARC 100 in Canada, that the material itself is in the dangerous band. And if Canada were to pursue a whole fleet of SMRs using HALEU, and especially if they were to build their own enrichment plants to support that, that might give them a threshold capability for bombs, even if they never make highly enriched [over 20 per cent] uranium."ARC Canada points out that its proposed reactor in New Brunswick, which would become the only commercial fast-breeder reactor in the world outside Russia, mitigates against proliferation risks by having a long fuel cycle with a core that stays sealed for 20 years.But there’s another factor: The arrival of SMRs that consume enriched uranium has got the government of Canada thinking about enrichment.Two people walk along a tunnel in a mine.To enrich or not to enrich"Any country which has a complete fuel cycle is a latent nuclear weapons country, in the sense that it is not far from making a nuclear weapon," said former IAEA director and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei.Scientists consulted by CBC News said Canada would probably have little economic motive to build its own enrichment facilities. Canada’s nuclear energy strategy foresees importation of enriched uranium from France and the U.S. in the immediate future, even though that often means buying back Canadian-mined uranium after other countries have added value.The longer-term question of whether Canada should develop domestic enrichment capability remains under assessment.- Canada's nuclear energy strategy-But the strategy also notes that "geopolitical volatility has exposed fragility in nuclear fuel supply chains at every stage — mining, milling, refining, conversion, enrichment, and fabrication."Canada plans to double its exports of uranium in raw form, "but there is also a compelling case for expanding downstream capabilities selectively."Domestic enrichment might not save Canada money, but would increase its strategic autonomy."Canada will continue to monitor the energy security implications of these supply chains," says the strategy. "The longer-term question of whether Canada should develop domestic enrichment capability remains under assessment."Enrichment could get easier-A handful of non-nuclear arms powers have developed enrichment facilities. They include Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Germany and the Netherlands, but only Brazil combines a modern centrifuge facility with a large domestic supply of uranium.Japan could theoretically produce weapons-grade uranium, but its nuclear technology, like South Korea’s, is largely American, its nuclear program is subject to strict inspections, and it has no uranium mines of its own — in fact it buys much of its supply from Canada.A Canadian company, Cameco, is currently exploring the next frontier of uranium enrichment. The SILEX method uses laser excitation to separate U-235 more quickly and efficiently than spinning it in a centrifuge.Already, a centrifuge facility can fit in an area the size of a high school gym. SILEX, said Fetter, "potentially could be even smaller and use less energy than centrifuge enrichment, which would make it harder to detect a clandestine facility."The SILEX project has already received U.S. government funding and acquired land in western Kentucky for a plant expected to be operating by 2030.Crossing the threshold-For all the Carney government’s talk of "a more dangerous and divided world," there is still no public signal that Canada might abandon its long-held opposition to nuclear arms.If the strategic situation were to change, Canada would have to decide whether to go the open route and formally depart the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), or pursue nuclear arms through a clandestine program as other countries have done with a mixed record of success.Plasma physicist Tara Drozdenko worked on nuclear weapons issues under the administrations of Barack Obama and George W. Bush. She represented the United States on NATO's Senior Group on Proliferation, and headed the Country/Regime Sanctions Unit at the U.S. Department of Treasury, where she managed the government's nuclear-related sanctions on countries such as Iran and North Korea. Today, she’s not sure Washington remains committed to preventing proliferation, or how it would react to a Canadian decision to leave the NPT."In a normal administration, there would be condemnation, there would be reproach, there would be a lot of diplomatic efforts," she told CBC News. "I don't know what would happen in this administration. Would there be threats? Would there be some people that are like, yeah, everybody should have nuclear weapons? I really can't predict what this particular administration would do."A TV screen shows a rocket launch.Clandestine plants and secret programs-So far, all the countries that have developed nuclear weapons — Israel, South Africa, India, Pakistan and North Korea — began their efforts in secret.Drozdenko says Canada’s own nuclear industry, the design of its reactors and the fact that it has the world’s best uranium deposits would all give it a strong hand were it ever to pursue such a risky course."Canada is probably really well-positioned to do that, if Canada was determined," said Drozdenko. "You have a lot of land that's not heavily populated, and if you used technologies that didn't have a lot of energy or thermal signature, I don't think the U.S. has its intelligence assets pointed at Canada right now."At some point, such a program would inevitably become known."It would require withdrawal from the non-proliferation treaty, which would be really impactful to the treaty worldwide, especially as a NATO country and up until now a pretty close ally of the U.S. I think that would be pretty catastrophic to that treaty,” Drozdenko said.Fetter said Canada could probably easily assemble a simple “gun-type” nuclear weapon like the one used on Hiroshima, but would face scientific hurdles if it tried to build a modern thermonuclear weapon without conducting tests. North Korea required half a dozen tests to get there.In the U.S., Russia and China, supercomputers today have replaced actual testing. Canada has the computing capacity but lacks the detailed data that nuclear arms powers have assembled on materials science, and the complicated timing and interactions inside a nuclear warhead — some of the most closely guarded secrets in the world.But Fetter also said he didn’t expect North Korea to be able to put a modern, two-stage thermonuclear warhead on a ballistic missile and make it work."Canada has a lot of smart people," he noted.With Canada embarked on a new era of greater military spending, including the purchase of modern submarines and its first foray into the world of cruise missiles, it is clearly assembling elements that could bring it closer to "breakout" as a nuclear arms power, if it desired.The question of how other countries would react is the unknowable factor, said Drozdenko."Does Canada want to be in the position of North Korea, the pariah state that's making clandestine nuclear weapons?" she asked.So far, the answer has always been no.

THIRD ANGEL: EUROPE
Then one of the angels with wings showed me Europe from one end to the other - from the north all the way down to Spain and Portugal. In his hand he had a scale of measurement. I saw him fly over Europe, and I heard the words: "I am grieved. I am grieved. Unrighteousness, uncleanness, ungodliness - all over Europe. The sin has risen to heaven. The Holy Spirit is grieved."I saw the rivers of Europe flooding and covering millions of houses. Millions drown. After seeing this, I read the news a few weeks ago: Czechoslovakia had the worst flooding ever. I also heard that the big river in China is in tremendous danger of thousands of houses being destroyed in flooding. I didn't know all this news until after I had seen the vision and heard what the angels told me.Suddenly I heard earthquakes all over Europe."Countries that have had no earthquakes shall be shaken," said the angel.And suddenly, in my spirit, I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris crumbling and falling down. A great part of Germany destroyed. The great city of London - destruction everywhere. I saw floods all over Scandinavia. I looked to the south and saw Spain and Portugal passing through hunger and great destruction.Many will die from hunger all over Spain and Portugal. I was disturbed by all this news, and I said:" Lord, what about your children?"The angel said: "I shall prepare them. They shall be looking for the appearing of the Lord. Many will cry to me in those days and I will save them. I shall perform mighty miracles for them and show them My power."So in the midst of great destruction, there will be the grace of God in those countries. I was happy that God has His protection over His children.

More than 500 properties under evacuation alert as wildfire burns north of West Kelowna-Out-of-control fire is burning near the La Casa community on the west side of Okanagan Lake-CBC News · Posted: Jul 26, 2026 12:26 AM EDT | 

A newly discovered out-of-control wildfire burning in B.C.’s Central Okanagan has prompted an evacuation alert for more than 500 properties in a popular vacation destination north of West Kelowna.Central Okanagan Emergency Management said the alert affects more than 1,100 people in the La Casa area on the west side of the Okanagan Lake, including La Casa Lakeside Resort and La Casa Cottages.Residents and visitors under the alert are being told to prepare to leave at a moment’s notice and be ready to remain away for an extended period.The B.C. Wildfire Service said the fire (K51214) has grown to an estimated 5.18 hectares, or about 0.05 square kilometres as of Saturday evening since it was discovered at around 4 p.m., earlier in the day. It says 14 firefighters are battling the fire alongside the North Westside Fire Department, with multiple aircraft supporting the response.Skimmer planes and helicopters are drawing water from Okanagan Lake to attack the flames and the wildfire service is asking boaters to leave areas where aircraft are operating to avoid interfering with suppression efforts.Crews were observing Rank 2 and Rank 3 fire behaviour, meaning the fire was burning along the surface with open flames and spreading at a slow to moderate rate.

Lytton, B.C., hits 41 C, hottest temperature in Canada this year-Fraser Canyon community 1 of 12 in B.C. to break daily heat records Wednesday-The Canadian Press · The Canadian Press · Posted: Jul 23, 2026 1:21 PM EDT | 

The heat wave that has scorched southern British Columbia this week has seen temperatures pass 40 C for a second consecutive day in the Fraser Canyon, marking the two hottest temperatures recorded in Canada this year.Environment Canada says temperatures in Lytton hit 41.2 C on Wednesday, breaking a daily heat record set in 2006.Heat warnings that have blanketed the southern half of the province this week have receded, ending in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Sunshine Coast, portions of Vancouver Island and the North Coast.But more than 20 heat warnings remain in place, including in the Fraser Canyon, the Okanagan, Kootenay, Shuswap and Cariboo areas.On Tuesday, temperatures in Lytton hit 40.5 C, although this week's heat falls far short of the 49.6 C recorded in the village on June 29, 2021, a day before it was largely destroyed by a wildfire.The weather forecast agency says Lytton is among 12 B.C. communities that broke daily heat records on Wednesday, with Cache Creek and Osoyoos both pushing past 39 C while Nanaimo, Abbotsford, West Vancouver and Sechelt also broke previous marks.On Vancouver Island, the community of Duncan recorded a high of 34.6 C, edging past the previous record set almost a century ago in 1928.

Man's death reported in Spain as wildfires also raging in France force 250,000 to flee-Final Tour de France stage shortened to redeploy officers to wildfires-The Associated Press · Posted: Jul 25, 2026 8:30 AM EDT | 

Wildfires in southern Europe this week have displaced more than 250,000 people, including some 70,000 people evacuated in central Spain.One man died in Manises, west of Valencia, the Spanish municipality says on its Facebook page, marking the first reported death in the blazes.A specially adapted cargo aircraft was sent to dump flame retardants on a huge blaze raging in the Gironde region of southwestern France.French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said the hulking A400M aircraft will join 18 other water- and retardant-dropping planes and helicopters waging an expected "long and very difficult" battle against the blaze raging in the Gironde region of southwestern France.With winds expected to shift in a west-to-east direction on Saturday afternoon, potentially driving the fire closer to Bordeaux, fire crews and authorities were digging trenches, using retardants and taking other steps to block it, Nunez said. He said the fire was about 30 kilometres west of the city and lost some of its intensity overnight.The government mobilized soldiers to join the battle and was rushing in 1.5 million face masks to protect against choking smoke.Multiple fast-moving wildfires have forced the evacuation of at least 20,000 in southwestern France, where locals have described the situation as a 'nightmare.'Authorities ordered people between the fire and Bordeaux to evacuate, including from parts of the city's western suburbs and other towns and villages.French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu described the fires as unprecedented and said the Gironde blaze became so strong on Friday that it had begun generating its own winds."Our priority is clear: protecting human lives," he posted on X, adding that evacuation orders "must be respected without delay."He said firefighting teams were being reinforced Saturday with the addition of hundreds of soldiers and that breathing masks to filter out smoke particles were being rushed to the Gironde region for those exposed to the clouds of potentially noxious fumes.The country cut the length of the Tour de France's final stage by a third on Saturday to redeploy officers to battle raging wildfires that forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of people, including from some the suburbs of the wine region city of Bordeaux.The extraordinary measure underscored the gravity of the fires in southwest France.The riders will race inside Paris, rather than starting from Thoiry west of the capital, on a circuit of 89 kilometres, down from the 133-kilometre route that had been planned. Part of the race's security detail will instead be used "to reinforce the response efforts in the areas affected by the wildfires," the Paris police department said.Blazes caught authorities off guard-The virulence of the wildfires, fuelled by high temperatures and the long-term effects of climate change, caught fire crews and authorities off guard in both countries.Firefighters in Spain said the blazes spread so fast and violently that they could not be tackled head on. In France, some people even fled by boat when flames swept through touristic towns on the Atlantic coast.Dozens of French firefighters have been injured, authorities said, but no deaths were reported in either country despite the scenes of panic as townsfolk fled by car and police went door to door to tell people to leave as large plumes of smoke darkened the skies.Successive heat waves that hit unusually early and hard this year, baking Europe with record-shattering high temperatures, have turned forests and scrublands into tinderboxes.Fires have burned 130,000 hectares of forest already this year in Spain, up from an annual average of 100,000 hectares over the past decade, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Saturday as he visited a command post west of Madrid.He said more favourable weather Saturday offered "a window of opportunity" for fire crews to bring the blazes under control. Madrid's regional government said the fires decreased in intensity as winds and temperatures dropped.Other European nations were helping, with Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Portugal, Croatia, Czechia and Slovakia already providing or expected to deploy water-dumping planes and helicopters to the Spanish and French fire fronts.Wildfire headed toward Bordeaux-Gironde region prefect Sophie Brocas said on Friday night that strong winds from the west were pushing the fire closer to the Bordeaux metropolitan area and that it had grown to "an unprecedented magnitude."Bordeaux's western suburbs covered by evacuation orders included Le Haillan and parts of Eysines and Mérignac, where the city's airport is located.The airport said it remained open but that its bus and tram services were suspended.The Gironde blaze broke out Wednesday near the Cap Ferret peninsula on France's Atlantic coast, 60 kilometres from Bordeaux. Bordeaux authorities took in thousands of evacuees, offering them food and shelter in an exhibition centre, and the city's mayor said it could be equipped to welcome as many as 10,000 people if that became necessary.Evacuation orders were sent with special alerts to mobile phones, instructing people to leave, Brocas said."We want everyone to be quickly brought to safety. We must act quickly together."

Wildfires ravage southwest France: Thousands face devastation after evacuation-France-Issued on: 26/07/2026 - 12:29

A raging wildfire in southwest France forced the evacuation of 55,000 people overnight Sunday, bringing the total forced out of their homes to 220,000 in one region alone, as flames crept ever closer to the wine region city of Bordeaux. Authorities in France's Gironde region, where Bordeaux is located, issued overnight evacuation orders for five more localities southwest of the historic city, as shifting, gusting winds and arid conditions complicated the massive effort to limit the spread of the monster blaze that has burned out of control since midweek

Two firefighters died in France, and another died in Italy while working to tackle wildfires that have devastated Europe this week.Wildfires continued to spread across parts of France, Spain and Italy on Wednesday, forcing thousands of people from their homes amid soaring temperatures.In southwestern France's Gironde department, more than 10,000 people were evacuated overnight due to a blaze that's ravaged more than 2,000 hectares in the region, local authorities said.The fire broke out in the town of Saumos on Wednesday and has advanced southwest towards the areas of Le Porge and Lège Cap-Ferret.As of Thursday morning, 500 firefighters are tackling the blaze, with aerial reinforcements on the way.Two firefighters were killed while tackling flames in the Mérignac suburb of Bordeaux on Tuesday.French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez met with their families and colleagues on Wednesday to pay tribute to the pair."On behalf of the president of the Republic, the government and the entire nation, which owes them so much, I expressed our boundless gratitude and our unwavering support," he wrote in a post on social media.Multiple departments in southern France remain under a red alert for forest fires on Thursday, per Météo-France.Italy-Fires have also broken out in Sicily, where around 6,000 emergency responders, including firefighters, forest guards and civil protection officers have been mobilised to assist.According to the regional government, 300 of the island's 344 reported fires had been extinguished as of Wednesday."The most critical blazes, where teams from the fire brigade, civil protection and the forestry corps are currently in action, are in Casaboli, Bivona, Alimena, San Cataldo, Galati Mamertino, certain areas of the Madonie Park and the Syracuse area," it said in a press release.One firefighter named by officials as Alessandro Marchi died while responding to a fire in San Cataldo, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi announced."He lost his life whilst carrying out his duty, in the service of the community. On behalf of myself and the Ministry of the Interior, I extend my deepest condolences to his family," Piantedosi said.Spain-A major wildfire has also been declared to the southwest of the Spanish capital, Madrid, between the towns of Almorox and Villa del Prado.Video footage posted to social media by Spain's Civil Guard showed officers going home to home as residents were evacuated from parts of the area.As of Wednesday night, 88 firefighters, 35 vehicles, and a helicopter had been deployed to help fight the fire.It comes after a devastating wildfire in Spain's Guadalajara province had already burnt through 32,000 hectares to the north of Madrid.According to data from the European Forest Fires Information System, wildfires have burnt around 254,388 hectares across the EU in 2026.This is higher than the long-term average but remains below the 270,449 hectares that burnt in 2025 over the same period, per the data.

enezuela’s twin earthquakes: the toll one month later-Earthquake figures in Venezuela, file image, July 2026-The Associated Press.By Jesús Maturana-Published on 25/07/2026

One month after twin earthquakes struck Venezuela, the official death toll has surpassed 5,500, with 16,700 injured. Damage is estimated at $19.6 billion, while thousands remain homeless and the number of missing people has not been updated since late June.Thirty days have passed since the two earthquakes measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitudestruck northern Venezuela just 39 seconds apart on the night of 24 June. What was described at the time as a rare seismic phenomenon**,** a seismic doublet, has turned into one of the worst natural disasters the country has experienced in more than a century.A month on, the figures continue to evolve, although at a much slower pace than in the first few days, and there are still gaps the government has yet to fill. The most recent official toll, released last Friday by the president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, puts the death toll at 5,546 and the number of injured at 16,740.The figure has remained largely unchanged for weeks, which suggests medical teams are no longer receiving new serious cases, while the death toll continues to rise as debris removal work progresses and forensic teams continue identifying bodies, many of them buried unidentified in mass graves in cemeteries in La Guaira.The most sensitive figure, however, is the one the Venezuelan government has stopped updating. Since 25 June, the day after the seismic doublet, the authorities have not provided a new official figure for the missing, which at that point stood at 157 people. In that vacuum, a citizens’ initiative has emerged, Desaparecidos del Terremoto de Venezuela, which centralises reports from relatives and keeps a register containing reports on nearly 29,500 people whose whereabouts have been reported as unknown. That gap between what the state acknowledges and what citizens themselves are documenting is one of the most questioned aspects of the way the emergency has been handled.Material damage and displacement-Beyond the lives lost, the earthquake has left a significant economic scar. A World Bank report published last week estimates direct physical damage at around 19.6 billion dollars.Of that amount, 9.3 billion correspond to homes destroyed or severely damaged, 5.2 billion to public infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and other essential facilities, and nearly 5 billion to commercial and industrial buildings.On the ground, the latest official count records:856 buildings affected, 190 of which collapsed completelyThe number of families left without housing stands at 17,907, while 23,122 people remain in 107 temporary locations set up in Caracas and La Guaira.128,324 families have received some form of assistance from the authorities since the start of the emergencySince the main shock, 1,405 aftershocks have also been recorded, some strong enough to complicate work on structures that had already been weakened.One month on, life is trying to resume-As the weeks go by, the search-and-rescue phase has given way to debris clearance and reconstruction, a process which the authorities themselves acknowledge will take months, if not years.Some basic services, such as electricity in certain parts of La Guaira, were restored about two weeks after the quake, but normality remains partial. Organisations such as Médecins Sans Frontières are keeping mobile clinics operating in the worst-hit areas to meet healthcare needs that the public system, already weakened before the earthquake, is unable to cover fully.The tragedy also struck at a politically sensitive moment for Venezuela, which is undergoing a transition following the arrest of former president Nicolás Maduro at the beginning of the year, with Delcy Rodríguez heading an interim government that has yet to set a date for elections.The way international aid is being managed, including cooperation from countries such as Israel and efforts to unblock Venezuelan assets with United States support, is emerging as one of the factors that will determine the pace of reconstruction in the coming months.

More than 700,000 evacuated as Typhoon Noul makes landfall in southern China-Noul is strongest typhoon to make landfall in China this year, new agency says-The Associated Press · Posted: Jul 26, 2026 8:09 AM EDT | 

Typhoon Noul made landfall early Sunday, bringing winds and heavy rain to southern China, including Hong Kong.It prompted the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people in Guangdong province, with the region on high alert and hundreds of flights cancelled.China's national weather centre said Noul made landfall along the Huidong county coast in the city of Huizhou in southern Guangdong province at approximately 3:50 a.m. Sunday. China's official Xinhua News Agency said Noul was the strongest typhoon to make landfall in China so far this year.Hong Kong's Observatory said Noul, with maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h near its centre, was moving Sunday into inland Guangdong and weakening progressively, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to parts of the region.More than 715,000 people had been relocated for safety in Guangdong province, according to state-owned China National Radio. Train services in the province were cancelled for Sunday, according to the China News Service.China's National Meteorological Center expected parts of southern Guangdong and southeastern Fujian provinces to experience heavy rain and strong winds over the weekend. Many trees were seen uprooted in Huilai county, located on the coast of Guangdong province, state broadcaster CCTV reported.Hong Kong's airport authority said around 350 flights were cancelled Sunday. At least nine people were injured across the city during the typhoon period, according to Hong Kong authorities.As Noul approached Hong Kong, parts of a large scaffolding on a highrise building collapsed Saturday afternoon, local police said, although initial reports indicated there were no injuries.Taiwan's Central Weather Administration said Noul was bringing rainfall to parts of southern and eastern Taiwan. It was passing over waters south of Taiwan, and was moving away from the island Saturday.Earlier this month, Typhoon Bavi brought strong winds and rain to eastern China, leading to the evacuation of more than two million people. It made landfall on July 11. Another, Maysak, made landfall in southern China on July 3. 

As Ebola cases in Congo near 3,000, more health workers go on strike-More than 1,300 have died so far; workers say they're protesting against months of unpaid bonuses-The Associated Press · Posted: Jul 25, 2026 2:19 PM EDT |

Health workers at an Ebola treatment centre in eastern Congo went on strike on Saturday, demanding their pay. The walkout disrupted care for patients in the epicentre of the country's rapidly growing outbreak.The number of confirmed cases in Congo has reached 2,973, including 1,309 deaths, according to government data released on Friday, in what authorities say is the fastest-growing outbreak on record.The Elikya Ebola Treatment Center in Bunia, Ituri province, came to a standstill after doctors, nurses and security staff stopped work.About 100 health workers protested outside the treatment centre on Saturday. They said the unpaid bonuses were undermining morale and disrupting patient care, and called on Congolese authorities to resolve the back pay so they could resume their work."We need to be paid, because in the meantime the disease is spreading at the treatment centre," said Martin Bolombi, one of the striking workers."I've already had five people die who are still inside there. A solution must be found for us."In a statement issued Friday, staff said they had unanimously voted to strike until "concrete solutions" were found to resolve "two months of unpaid performance bonuses."Strike comes a day after PM visit-The strike comes a day after Congo's Prime Minister Judith Suminwa came to Ituri, touring major treatment hubs in Rwampara and Mongbwalu to assess the outbreak response. During her visit in Mongbwalu, she faced urgent demands from health-care personnel protesting payment issues.Dr. Adelard Lufungula, operations manager for the Ebola response, said Saturday the payment issue is "being resolved," with workers now paid via mobile money instead of cash, and that the backlog "should be cleared" in the coming days.Last week, health workers at Bunia General Hospital, the region's largest medical centre, had already gone on strike over unpaid salaries. Some told The Associated Press they had not received any payment since they started work at the onset of the outbreak.A woman washes her hands in a sink.The World Health Organization (WHO) says more than 100 health-care workers have been infected since the beginning of the outbreak.The Central African nation has been battling the Ebola outbreak caused by the rare Bundibugyo virus since May 15. A total of 766 patients remain in isolation or in hospitals, while 540 have recovered so far, according to data from Congo's Ministry of Health.The eastern province of Ituri accounts for nearly 90 per cent of confirmed cases.Patient zero still hasn't been identified-The outbreak continues to spread faster than health officials can track despite an expanding response. A key challenge is that patient zero has yet to be identified in the outbreak while displacement from armed conflict and illegal mining in the region have made it difficult to trace thousands who have come in contact with infected individuals.The response is also hampered by a funding gap, attacks on health centres, an ongoing conflict in eastern Congo and mistrust among local communities.The current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is not the first, but a new strain, lack of tools and war are making it worse. For The National, CBC’s Eli Glasner talks to doctors on the ground about what they’re up against and why they say foreign aid cuts are increasing the danger.Furthermore, there is a lack of approved vaccines or treatments for the Bundibugyo virus, unlike the more common Zaire virus for which there is a vaccine and which was responsible for most of Congo's past 16 outbreaks of the disease.Enrolment in a highly anticipated study of two possible Ebola treatments recently started in Ituri.WHO says the global risk of the outbreak spreading outside Central Africa is low, noting that Ebola spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person rather than through the air, making it much harder to spread than respiratory viruses.The health risk to Canadians is considered low, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. Earlier this week, Ottawa barred the entry of foreign nationals who had been in Congo in the preceding 21 days, as part of an effort to curb the spread. The temporary measure will last until Aug. 29.With files from CBC News.
