Israel has heavily bombed Gaza City overnight with unconfirmed reports from the US news site Axios and the Jerusalem Post that the military has now launched its ground offensive to occupy the entire city, BBC reported.

Israeli strikes are also reported in central Gaza, in the direction in which thousands of people are fleeing. Palestinian officials say there are rising numbers of deaths and injuries.

The intensification came ahead of a long-threatened full-scale ground invasion of the city, which is home to hundreds of thousands of people. 

It came hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of unwavering US support during a trip to Jerusalem on Monday, according to BBC.

Washington has reached a "framework" deal with China on TikTok's US operations, paving the way for American ownership, as the world's two biggest economies negotiate a trade deal, BBC reported.

The framework was set in talks in Madrid, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday, adding that President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping would "complete" the deal on Friday.

Trump said on Truth Social that the talks had "gone very well". China confirmed a framework agreement but said no deal would be made at the expense of their firms' interests.

A Wednesday deadline looms for TikTok's Chinese owner to find a buyer for US operations or face a ban in the country over national security concerns, according to BBC.

During President Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK, US and Britain are set to announce more than $10bn in deals, covering science and technology, civil nuclear energy, and defense cooperation, Reuters reported.

Trump will meet King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, attend a state dinner, and hold talks with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, including a joint press conference, before returning to Washington.

The visit highlights growing economic and strategic ties between the two nations.

US appeals court has blocked former President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, the first attempt to remove a Fed governor since 1913, Reuters reported.

The court rejected the Justice Department’s emergency request to lift a previous order that kept Cook in her role, allowing her to stay ahead of a key Fed meeting expected to cut interest rates. A lower court had ruled Trump’s allegations of past mortgage fraud likely didn’t meet the “for cause” standard required under the Federal Reserve Act.

The 2‑1 decision, with Biden-appointed judges in the majority, leaves Cook in place for now and highlights the limits of presidential power over independent central bank officials, according to Reuters.
