Al Jazeera has condemned the deliberate killing of its journalists—Anas Al Sharif, Mohammed Qraiqea, Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal—by Israeli forces near Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital. The network says this attack was meant to silence those reporting on the suffering caused by the ongoing conflict.

These journalists were among the last in Gaza, bravely sharing the realities on the ground despite great danger. Al Jazeera holds Israel responsible and calls on the international community to act urgently to protect journalists and end the violence.

Security experts warn China’s expanding control over undersea cables, data centres, and apps like TikTok poses serious risks to Western democracy and security. Salih Hudayar, Foreign Minister of the East Turkestan government-in-exile, calls it an “information war” where Beijing could access sensitive data and disrupt critical systems, Firstpost reported.

He also highlights China’s use of advanced Western tech in AI centres amid repression in East Turkestan. Hudayar urges the West to build secure infrastructure and block risky Chinese devices, saying the digital battle has already begun—and it’s time to fight back.

India has voiced serious worries about China building a massive hydropower dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet—the source of the Brahmaputra. The project, first announced in 1986, could threaten water security, ecology, and livelihoods across South Asia, Firstpost reported.

The Indian government is closely watching the development and has urged China to be transparent and consult downstream countries. India also wants hydrological data sharing, which China has stopped during important monsoon periods.

The river flows through sensitive, earthquake-prone Himalayan areas before reaching India and Bangladesh, making environmental impacts potentially severe. India and China continue talks, but India stresses the need for cooperation to protect the region’s people and ecosystems, according to Firstpost.

President Donald Trump has demanded homeless people leave Washington DC, promising to offer housing far from the city while cracking down on crime. He deployed hundreds of federal officers to help reduce violence and plans a news conference to share his strategy, BBC reported.

Mayor Muriel Bowser disagrees, saying crime is actually down and calling Trump’s harsh comparisons unfair. She also noted a federal takeover of the city’s police isn’t legally possible right now.

With about 3,800 homeless in DC, mostly in shelters, the issue highlights tensions between Trump’s federal authority and local leadership over how to keep the city safe and livable, according to BBC.
