The Israeli military has confirmed for the first time that it opened fire on a car carrying five-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab, who was killed along with six relatives in Gaza in 2024.

Interpreting the behavior of the audience is one of the main advantages of using modern digital marketing resources. Any communication initiated by the audience on social media, reviews, customer service, blogs, forums, and other digital media can provide valuable clues about their behavior. When combined with website analytics, this data helps organizations identify behavioral patterns and better understand customer needs. Instead of guessing what the audience wants, marketers can rely on conversation analysis, media monitoring, and digital marketing analytics to uncover behavioral patterns and determine how to address audience needs effectively. Monitoring and analyzing conversations and opinions about the brand…
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) warned Tuesday that escalating political intolerance, violence, incitement and the alleged use of organised groups to intimidate opponents are threatening Kenya’s democratic space ahead of the 2027 General Election. The commission said it had documented a worrying pattern of political-related violence between June and August 2026, including deaths, attacks on civilians and police officers, destruction of property, disruption of political activities and assaults on journalists and human rights defenders. KNCHR Chairperson Claris Ogangah said the developments were “deeply disturbing and wholly unacceptable” in a constitutional democracy. “The loss of life, attacks against…
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has hailed the discovery of oil near the mouth of the Amazon river. Speaking after the find was announced by Brazil’s state-run oil company Petrobras, he said it could be “a passport to the country’s future”. His decision to allow exploratory drilling in the area known as the Brazilian Equatorial Margin was heavily criticised by environmentalists, who raised concerns that any potential oil spills could devastate its ecosystem. Lula, who is running for another four-year term in elections scheduled for October, stressed that he was still committed to eventually phasing out fossil fuels…
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said the UK will continue “to support Ukraine 100%”, after Moscow warned of “consequences” following confirmation that British-made drones were used in recent Ukrainian strikes in Russia. “We are not fair-weather friends, we will be there in Ukraine’s hour of need and that won’t change,” said Burnham. The Russian embassy to the UK earlier accused Britain of “deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis”, adding that “the deeper its involvement in the conflict… the higher the price it will pay”. Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Moscow and elsewhere deep inside Russia,…

But a major…
Meta has been hit with successive losses in court over how its platforms have targeted and harmed young users, but a jury trial set to begin on Tuesday may pose the biggest threat yet to its operations. The trial stems from a lawsuit filed in 2023 by 30 US states, including California and New York, in which they claim numerous violations of federal and state privacy laws for children. Not only are the states seeking upwards of $1 trillion from Meta, they are demanding it make changes to Instagram and Facebook, including ending “like” counts and infinite scroll. Should Meta…
Choosing a digital marketing partner in Singapore is often a confusing jungle, full of flashy sales pitches and over-hyped promises.

For a second time, the US Supreme Court has declined President Donald Trump’s bid to overturn a federal civil jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E Jean Carroll. In June, the top court had already denied a prior attempt by Trump to review the civil case. The president has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and argued that the judge who oversaw the civil trial improperly allowed evidence to be presented that affected the jury’s perceptions of him. In July, he paid Carroll more than $5m (£3.6m) in damages over her civil claim that Trump sexually…
President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman – a US ally – if it “gets in the way” of his administration’s own talks with Iran, Fox News reports. The US and Oman have separately been negotiating with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that is vital to the global economy. It has been largely closed for nearly six months during the US-Iran war. A reporter for Fox said the US president made the threat to Oman while using an expletive during a phone interview. Earlier in the day, Iranian officials said they were close to finalising…
Vintage guitar auctions reward patience, evidence, and a clear head. A clean finish or famous decal can draw attention, but value often sits in quieter details. Neck angle, solder joints, pot codes, bridge height, fret wear, finish history, and repair records all deserve careful review. Confident bidding starts before registration. Buyers who prepare well can separate a solid instrument from an expensive risk. Set a Real Budget Before bidding, a buyer should study fees, auction terms, return rules, and seller standards. A reliable guide to guitar auctions helps organize those checks, since older instruments often carry changed parts, partial records,…
