"Good morning.
Israel's military has raised concerns about a potential ground invasion by urging residents and displaced individuals to evacuate eastern neighborhoods of Rafah and move to an "expanded humanitarian zone" in southern Gaza.
An IDF spokesperson issued an "urgent appeal to all residents and displaced individuals" to evacuate several neighborhoods in Rafah. UNRWA, the UN relief agency for Palestine refugees, warned of "devastating" consequences, stating that an Israeli offensive in Rafah would lead to further civilian suffering and deaths. Meanwhile, in ceasefire negotiations in Egypt, Hamas reiterated its demand for an end to the war in exchange for the release of hostages.
Israel's Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, stated that if a ceasefire agreement with Hamas was not reached, Israel would launch an offensive into Rafah in the very near future, where approximately 1.4 million people in Gaza have sought shelter.
Border news: One of the main crossings used to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza was closed after a rocket attack claimed by Hamas killed three soldiers, according to the Israeli military. In a retaliatory strike on a house in Rafah, multiple Palestinians were killed.
News from inside Israel: Israeli authorities closed the local offices of Al Jazeera, a move critics described as a "dark day for the media." The network, funded by Qatar, accused Israel of deliberately targeting its journalists for their coverage of the war, a claim Israel denies.
Humanitarian impact of the war: Following a Hamas attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and took more than 200 hostage, the Israeli assault on Gaza has resulted in approximately 35,000 deaths, extensive damage to the coastal strip's infrastructure and housing, and a "full-blown famine," according to the director of the UN World Food Program.
Flooding death toll in southern Brazil rises to 75 as more than 100 remain missing
At least 75 people have died in flooding in Brazil's southern Rio Grande do Sul state, with more than 100 people still missing.
The state's civil defense authority reported that over 80,000 people have been displaced after record-breaking floods swept across the state, which borders Uruguay and Argentina. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva arrived in Rio Grande do Sul on Sunday, along with most members of his cabinet, to discuss rescue and reconstruction efforts with local authorities. Rescue workers are working against time to save people from raging floods and mudslides.
Extent of the flooding: The flooding in the state has surpassed that seen during a deluge in 1941, according to the Brazilian Geological Service. In some cities, water levels were at their highest in nearly 150 years of record-keeping, the agency added. In some areas, as much as 15cm (6in) of rain fell in 24 hours.
Is climate change a factor? Rio Grande do Sul sits at a geographical intersection between tropical and polar atmospheres, resulting in a weather pattern that includes periods of intense rain and drought. Local scientists believe this pattern has been intensifying due to the human-induced climate crisis.
Democrats lost the White House in 1968 amid anti-war protests. What will 2024 bring?
Scenes of turmoil have unfolded in recent weeks at colleges across the country, leading to clashes with police, mass arrests, and a directive from President Joe Biden to restore order. The unrest has reached a scale not seen since the protests against the Vietnam War.
There are unmistakable parallels with 1968, a tumultuous year when anti-war demonstrations led to chaos at the DNC in Chicago. Democrats lost the White House to the Republican "law and order" candidate Richard Nixon. Bernie Sanders, the independent senator from Vermont, told CNN: "This may be Biden's Vietnam." With six months until Biden and former President Donald Trump go head-to-head, what should we expect?
Polls indicate: Trump leads with 41.7%, while Biden follows closely at 40.6%, according to FiveThirtyEight polling averages.
Democratic perspectives: Several Democrats came to Biden's defense on Sunday regarding his response to pro-Palestinian student protests and his handling of Israel's war on Gaza.
Latest from the University of Southern California: Police dismantled the student-led Palestinian solidarity encampment at USC over the weekend, with up to 100 LAPD officers in riot gear raiding the encampment at dawn as student demonstrators slept in tents.
Artist Hans K Clausen is collecting 1,984 copies of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four for an exhibition in Scotland. Copies have arrived from Ukraine, Hong Kong, Peru, Germany, Cape Cod, and Sarajevo. The project commemorates 75 years since the book's publication.
Photographer Jack Lueders-Booth's poignant portraits from inside progressive women's prisons are featured in a new book. Lueders-Booth noted that he often sensed "a sadness that many of the women carried, even though they would put on a brave face for the camera."
Texas Governor Greg Abbott's immigration deterrence strategy isn't just harming people and costing billions—it's also damaging the Rio Grande's ecosystem, as Michael Gonzalez reports from Eagle Pass. One scientist estimated that it could take hundreds of years for nature to recover.
For the past five years, the record for the world's longest baguette has belonged to Italian bakers. On Sunday, 12 French bakers attempted to reclaim the title. They began kneading, shaping, and baking at 3 a.m., eventually setting a new record at 140.53 meters."
