A quick summary of the news headlines today includes the discontent in Israel over the rising casualties of war. The low down in Peruvian politics convicting an ex-president for fraud and the 7 new cases against P Diddy.
The day starts with tragic news about the deaths following Hurricane Oscar which has left four dead and thousands displaced. The world media has not focussed on this story as much as it should, partly because it relates to Cuba and secondly, because it’s a third-world story.
Moving on to Israel and the news that more deaths are occurring in the Israeli army and the news they are avoiding is the outrage in Israel as this war is costing Israeli lives. Something the Israeli army has not experienced in its genocide in Gaza.
Staying with Gaza, the IDF is clamping down on free speech and freedom of the press by barring journalists in southern Lebanon and Gaza. It has also blocked world media websites in Israel.
The sentiment and concern from European leaders is growing with the British and Europeans using harsh language, a rarity when they discuss Israel, to show their disapproval of the targeting of UN officials and the lack of humanitarian aid coming into Gaza.
Finally, a hidden news story from the day is the conviction of the former Peruvian President. He was known as a puppet of the United States and the judge said Toledo betrayed the trust of Peruvians in favour of American support.
Finally, the weather is causing serious havoc in Europe and South America which has caused extensive infrastructure damage as insurance companies are citing any loopholes to avoid making payments.
