Northern Gaza is at risk of imminent famine, the World Health Organization said on Friday, as Israel continues its bombardment across Gaza amid threats by the Biden administration to limit military aid to Israel if it did not allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave. The Biden administration gave Israel a Nov. 12 deadline to take specific steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, but the continuity of U.S. policies towards Israel has become uncertain as President Joe Biden enters a lame duck period following Donald Trump’s election on Tuesday. While Biden's policies and weapons provisions have consistently supported Israel, his relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has at times been strained , including by some efforts to...

Qatari officials have warned Hamas ’ political bureau that it was no longer welcome in the country amid frustration over stalled hostage and cease-fire negotiations with Israel , according to a senior U.S. administration official and two diplomats briefed on the matter. “Qatar has become increasingly frustrated with a lack of progress toward a cease-fire by both Hamas and Israel ,” one of the diplomats briefed on the matter told NBC News Saturday. “Hamas has been told that if this continues then Qatar cannot continue to host them,” they added. “If both sides are not willing to talk, then [Qatar] can’t continue to host the office and communication channel with Hamas as there is no point to it.” The officials did not say whether Hamas had been given a deadline o...

Storied actor Denzel Washington has taken on the project of adapting August Wilson’s cycle of 10 plays that portray slices of Black life in each decade of the 1900s. But it is Washington’s kids — John David Washington, Malcolm Washington and executive producer Katia Washington — who have taken the baton for “The Piano Lesson,” one of Wilson’s two Pulitzer Prize-winning works. John David, a Golden Globe-nominated actor in his own right, stars alongside “Till” star Danielle Deadwyler. Malcolm, John David’s brother, makes his directorial debut in the film, set in the 1930s during the Great Depression. Boy Willie (played by John David) has come to Pittsburgh from Mississippi with a truck full of watermelons he intends to sell. But he’s really there to cash in on the family’s prized piano...

The Summary A patch of snow in Scotland known for lingering year-round has melted for the fourth consecutive year. It's just the 10th time in more than three centuries that it has vanished. Such snow patches can act as harbingers of the broader consequences of climate change. A patch of snow in the Scottish Highlands dubbed the Sphinx typically lingers year-round, staying frozen through the summer. But it has melted away for the fourth consecutive year — only the 10th time in more than three centuries that has happened. The Sphinx, which adorns the side of Braeriach, the third-highest mountain in Great Britain, was historically considered the United Kingdom’s longest-lasting snow patch because it was known for sticking around even after most snow and ice vanis...

Many Americans have been holding back from jumping into the housing market in the hopes that mortgage rates will decline. So far, they haven’t. The average 30-year mortgage rate has been above 6% for two years — and is likely to stay above that level for the foreseeable future, experts say. A combination of better-than-expected growth and uncertainty about the impact of President-elect Donald Trump’s economic proposals, especially on inflation and the deficit, are combining to keep rates elevated. That’s despite the Federal Reserve’s push to lower its key federal funds rate to make borrowing in the economy easier. “Sixes are the new normal,” said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS, a mortgage listing services group, referring to 6% mortgage rates. Interest ra...

Throughout his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump signaled he would resume federal executions if he won and make more people eligible for capital punishment, including child rapists, migrants who kill U.S. citizens and law enforcement officers, and those convicted of drug and human trafficking. “These are terrible, terrible, horrible people who are responsible for death, carnage and crime all over the country,” Trump said of traffickers when he announced his 2024 candidacy. “We’re going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts,” he added. While it remains unclear how Trump would act to expand the death penalty, anti-death penalty groups and criminal justice reform advocates say they are taking his...
