The charred remains of a Rafah tent camp More pictures are emerging from the tent camp in Rafah that was hit by an Israeli airstrike overnight. Much of the camp was burned down by a fire that broke out immediately after the strike. At least 45 people were killed, according to local authorities.Seven Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike on house Medics in Gaza have said an Israeli airstrike on a house in Rafah today has killed seven people. Several others were wounded, they said. It follows an Israeli airstrike on the city overnight that killed at least 45 people sheltering in a tent camp. International authorities have expressed outrage over the deaths and have been piling pressure on Israel to halt its offensive on Rafah.More details emerge on shooting death of Egyptian security force member Earlier, we brought you news that an Egyptian security force member had been killed in a shooting incident near the Rafah border crossing. Egypt has now warned against compromising the security and safety of its security forces, a high-level source told Egypt's state-linked Al Qahera News. Preliminary investigations also showed that Egyptian security personnel had reacted to an exchange of gunfire "between Israeli forces and members of the Palestinian resistance, which led to shooting in several directions," the source said. They added that Egypt would take necessary measures to prevent the incident from recurring.Red Cross reports 'horrific injuries' from Rafah airstrike A Red Cross field hospital operating in Rafah saw a "very high influx" of injured Palestinians after last night's deadly airstrike. William Schomburg, the head of the ICRC delegation in Gaza, told Sky News the hospital first received reports of a "mass casualty situation" yesterday evening. Those who arrived at the field hospital had "horrific injuries", he said. "We're talking about very heavy shrapnel wounds. We're talking about severe burns as well as blast trauma injuries. "Our team conducted several operations, including, tragically, some amputations." The Red Cross field hospital has only been up and running for a few weeks. But Mr Schomberg said there was a risk of it, and other similar facilities nearby, becoming "overloaded very quickly" if Israel continues operations in Rafah. He warned the facility would then be unable to handle further influxes of patients. "We're holding off, but the situation is untenable and it's unacceptable," he said.Israeli tanks manoeuvre near Gaza border IDF soldiers direct tanks and armed people carriers near the border with Gaza in these latest images. One soldier smiles as he places a toy on a tank.More than 100 aid trucks reached Gaza this morning - report The trucks managed to reach Gaza this morning after an agreement to reroute aid through the Kerem Shalom border crossing, Reuters news agency is reporting. However, sources told the news agency that supplies have not been distributed due to an ongoing Israeli assault. Little aid has reached southern Gaza since 6 May, when Israel took control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing. These aid arrivals would be the biggest aid delivery into southern Gaza since the launch of Israel's attacks in Rafah more than three weeks ago. Egyptian security sources said 123 aid trucks had crossed the border and handed over the goods to the United Nations. But Palestinian trucks that went to pick up the aid at the crossing returned empty, UN and Palestinian officials told Reuters. "Trucks moved through but it was not possible to collect them due to the rocket attacks yesterday and the IAF (air force) strikes overnight," a UN official in Gaza said. https://news.sky.com/story/israel-hamas-gaza-latest-ceasefire-rafah-sky-news-live-blog-12978800

As Joseph Stiglitz, the Columbia professor and Nobel laureate, touts his new book “The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society,” he has a two-fold message: The American Dream is a myth and freedom isn’t free. And especially when it comes to Gen Z, the generation that shook the political landscape with a protest movement headquartered steps from Stiglitz’s office, he tells Fortune he’s “had a lot of discussions with various people trying to understand what’s going on.” Stiglitz says the protest movement gripping his institution and many others “does hit home” and recalled his own history as a civil-rights protester in the 1960s. “This may sound hard to believe,” he says, “but I was there in the march in Washington in August 1963, with Martin Luther King. And I was there when he gave the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.” This had an influence on his thinking as a young man, he says, and “an enormous impact on the direction of our country, at least for a while.” This mournful tone fits much of Stiglitz’s career, as the left-leaning economist and author finds himself in increasingly lonely company: the pro-capitalist progressive. Opinion polls widely indicate a disaffection with capitalism among some millennials and more Gen Zers, exemplified by the surprising electoral successes in the last decade of the so-called Democratic Socialists, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders. But Stiglitz has all along maintained that socialism is not the answer; rather, a well-regulated capitalism is sorely needed. At the same time, he has decried the hard-right turn in American political and business culture, to the point where he doubts the impact of Reverend King’s famous speech. https://fortune.com/2024/05/26/joseph-stiglitz-interview-gen-z-donald-trump-american-dream-neoliberalism/

A Japanese man named Toco, who invested $14,000 to turn himself into a dog (border collie) now wishes to transform into a different animal. Toco, who has documented his journey on his YouTube channel "I want to be an animal," said he wanted to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming an animal and exploring life as a dog. In a recent interview with a Japanese news outlet WanQol, Toco revealed his desire to live as a new animal. Meanwhile, he mentioned four animals he wants to try but acknowledged that two of them might be impractical due to logistical challenges. Toco said, "I'm researching ways to make my limbs look more like a dog's. It takes a lot of effort to clean the fur when it gets dirty. I would like to become another animal, possibly another dog, a panda, or a bear." He further elaborated, "A fox or a cat would be nice, but they are too small for humans to try. I'd like to fulfill my dream of becoming another animal someday." Previously, Toco chose to transform into a collie because it is his "favorite breed." Meanwhile, he frequently posts videos on his channel showing him going for dog walks, eating dog food, and learning new tricks. Toco further said, "I made it a collie because it looks real when I put it on my taste and costume. My favourite is quadrupedal animals, especially cute ones. Among them, I thought that a big animal close to me would be good, considering that it would be a realistic model, so I decided to make it a dog. Long-haired dogs can mislead the human figure. I met such a condition and made Collie, my favourite breed of dog." He also revealed that he receives numerous comments from viewers wanting to follow in his footsteps, which he finds encouraging. Moreover, psychologists suggest that Toco might be a Therian, someone who identifies as a non-human animal species, distinct from Furries, who enjoy occasional cosplay in animal costumes. https://jang.com.pk/en/12615-japanese-man-who-turn-himself-into-dog-now-dreams-to-become-another-animal-news

The Chevrolet Silverado EV will get the job done. It lives up to its impressive range figures, has a trick "midgate" that adds genuine functionality, and enough onboard power to juice up tools, camping gear, or even your home. But all of this capability comes at a price—literally and figuratively. This truck weighs about 9,000 pounds. Its ride, at least in RST form, is compromised as a result. And the interior doesn't feel worthy of a hundred-grand price tag. For that kind of money, I'm not sure this particular Silverado EV works. The competition will still find this truck a tough nut to crack, though, because of what it offers in spades: capability.The Silverado EV is GM’s first electric pickup aimed at doing real work. Small numbers of the base work truck, the WT, are already out on the road. Now the automaker has unveiled the upscale RST model, the equipment-laden top trim designed for regular people (with six figures lying around) to use every day.Let's start with what the Silverado gets right, because its specs are impressive. The battery pack is 213.7 kilowatt-hours gross, with a usable capacity of around 204 kilowatt-hours. This behemoth amount of energy is a vital piece of the puzzle. To convince pickup buyers to go electric, you need to have more than enough range and the ability to charge quickly. This pack enables both of those things, with 350 kilowatts fast charging and more range than any of its competition; 440 miles. The power and torque this pack can provide are also impressive: 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. The big battery also addresses issues with trailering. It’s reasonable to expect any electric truck's range will be sliced almost in half while pulling a heavy load. The Silverado can tow up to 10,000 pounds, which is a lot. With that much stuff dragging behind you, it would be best if you didn’t have to stop to charge on the way to your destination at all. This is how Chevy attempts to address the charging-with-a-trailer problem: by mitigating it all together with massive amounts of range. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/720600/2024-silverado-ev-rst-first-drive-review/

England's second one-day international against Pakistan was abandoned as persistent rain in Taunton forced a washout. Pakistan's Sidra Ameen (seven) and Sadaf Shamas (18) made a sensible start after winning the toss and electing to field but just after the sixth over heavy rain forced the players off with the score on 29-0.The match was officially called off at 3.15pm after heavy rain left puddles across the outfield with no chance of the weather clearing up in time for play.Sadaf was dropped twice during her outing off the bowling of England quick Lauren Filer. The Pakistan opener edged to Sophie Ecclestone and then Heather Knight at slip on seven with the England captain unable to take the tough chance. Filer continued to create chances with her pace which saw Sidra edge behind to Ecclestone at slip on three. Again the England fielder was unable to pocket the ball cleanly.Sadaf had another life on 16 in the fifth over as she slapped a wide delivery from Filer towards Danni Wyatt, who could not take the catch at backward point.Spinner Ecclestone is on the brink of becoming the fastest woman to take 100 wickets in ODI cricket. She currently has 98 to her name and needs two in her next match to break the record set by Australia great Cathryn Fitzpatrick in 64 games. The teams now head to Chelmsford on Wednesday for the third and final ODI after England won the earlier T20 series. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/13143340/england-vs-pakistan-persistent-rain-in-taunton-forces-second-odi-to-be-abandoned

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the aisles of imported “superfoods” lining supermarket shelves? While these exotic ingredients may hold a certain allure, are they truly necessary for a healthy diet in India? The answer is a surprising no! Let us debunk the myth that good health requires expensive, imported ingredients. Dr Vedika Premani, a clinical dietician at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, Mumbai, suggested these 9 delicious and nutritious desi (local) swaps you can make for those trendy videshi (foreign) foods. From buttermilk to bajra, discover how embracing local options can elevate your health, while also celebrating Indian cuisine. 1. Guacamole and avocado toast: A desi twist Ditch the avocado! Mashed peas offer a budget-friendly, protein-rich alternative with a similar texture, said Premani. For a creamy spread, blend yoghurt with cucumber – it’s probiotic-rich and bursting with essential fatty acids, she added.2. Go local with your berries for a burst of antioxidants Skip the imported blueberries! India boasts a treasure trove of antioxidant-rich berries. Consider incorporating mulberries, wood apples (jamun), or even Indian gooseberries i.e., amla into your diet. These local gems can be enjoyed in beverages, desserts, jams, or refreshing fruit salads. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/food-wine/ditch-videshi-swap-9-desi-foods-9352543/

Prince Harry anticipated losing a military title, but not surprised when he lost the title of colonel-in-chief of his former regiment to Prince William according to a royal commentator. Earlier this month, King Charles passed on the blue beret and the duties of colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps to his eldest son, the Prince of Wales.The monarch had been associated with the group for 32 years, while Prince Harry trained to fly Apaches with the Army Air Corps. In 2010, his father awarded him his provisional wings before his deployment to Afghanistan. For many years, Prince Harry was widely tipped to become their colonel-in-chief. However, his decision to leave royal duties with Meghan Markle in 2020 meant he could not have official military ties.Therefore, Prince William has become the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, and not Prince Harry. In 2020, royal biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand opened up about Meghan and Harry's reaction to the duke losing his honorary military titles. They wrote: "Harry's lifelong commitment to the military was why the Mountbatten Festival of Music three days later was a particularly difficult moment; he was set to wear his Captain-General of the Royal Marines uniform for the very last time. "During a conversation backstage, on arrival, Harry told Major General Matthew Holmes: 'I'm devastated that I am having to step down.' "'It was so unnecessary", Meghan later told a friend of the decision to strip Harry of his military honours. "'And it's not just taking something away from him; it's also that entire military veteran community. You can see how much he means to them, too. So why? The powers [of the institution] are unfortunately greater than me. "Though the evening served as a poignant tribute to Britain's Armed Forces, it also became a moment to thank the much-loved prince for his contributions to the military community." Royal author Gareth Russell spoke exclusively to GB News regarding Harry's feelings after missing out on the title of colonel-in-chief of his old regiment. He said: "The Duke of Sussex's wife has obviously indicated in private conversations on the record that the military does matter to him, and that losing the military posts was something that he felt very keenly. "That being said, it's hard to imagine how anyone could have thought that the command of the regiment would go to anyone but the current Prince of Wales. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1193512-prince-harry-expected-to-lose-military-title-from-prince-william

Investors likely will have to sweat out a summer during which it looks increasingly improbable that the Federal Reserve will be cutting interest rates. A batch of stronger-than-expected economic data coupled with fresh commentary from policymakers is pointing away from any near-term policy easing. Traders this week again shifted futures pricing, moving away from the likelihood of a reduction in rates in September and now anticipating just one cut by the end of the year. The broader reaction was not pleasant, with stocks suffering their worst day of 2024 on Thursday and the Dow Jones Industrial Average breaking what had been a five-week winning streak ahead of the Memorial Day break. “The economy may not be cooling off as much as the Fed would like,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist at LPL Financial. “The market takes every bit of data and translates it to how the Fed sees it. So if the Fed is data dependent, the market is probably more data dependent.” Over the past week or so, the data has sent a pretty clear message: Economic growth is at least stable if not on the rise, while inflation is ever-present as consumers and policymakers alike remain wary of the high cost of living. Examples include weekly jobless claims, which a few weeks ago hit their highest level since late August 2023 but have since receded back to a trend that has indicated companies have not stepped up the pace of layoffs. Then there was a lower-profile survey release Thursday that showed stronger than expected expansion in both the services and manufacturing sectors and purchase managers reporting stronger inflation. No reason to cut Both data points came one day after the release of minutes from the last Federal Open Market Committee meeting indicating central bankers still lack the confidence to cut and even an unspecified few saying they could be open to hiking if inflation gets worse. On top of that, Fed Governor Christopher Waller earlier in the week said he would need to see several months’ worth of data indicating that inflation is easing before agreeing to lower rates. Put it together, and there’s not much reason for the Fed to be easing policy here. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/25/the-fed-probably-wont-deliver-any-interest-rate-cuts-this-summer-.html

SBP will launch a QR code payment system for Eid al-Adha animal purchases. SBP is working with 25 banks and 50 major livestock markets for this project. The initiative aims to facilitate secure transactions for sacrificial animal purchases.ISLAMABAD – The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is set to launch a QR code payment system under the Raast instant payment service, aimed at facilitating the purchase of sacrificial animals during Eid al-Adha. Speaking at the 17th “Mobile Commerce 2024” conference, SBP Deputy Director Ahmed Sameer announced the planned introduction of the QR system for this year’s Eid. The initiative involves collaboration with 25 banks and implementation in 50 major livestock markets across the country to streamline payment processes for the public. Sameer emphasized the project’s significance for both livestock breeders and sellers, aiming to enhance secure and efficient transactions for purchasing sacrificial animals. This system is expected to support digital banking transactions worth between 550 to 600 billion rupees during the festival. The Deputy Director pointed out that QR code payments offer a significant advancement over traditional methods, particularly due to the challenges and costs associated with installing point-of-sale (POS) machines. The QR payment system simplifies the process, making it accessible for small-scale traders and reducing cash dependency in the economy.This innovative payment system will be activated in 15 cities, including major urban centers such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Hyderabad, where SBP offices are located. The initiative will enable traders to receive online payments instantly by installing QR codes, thus revolutionizing the payment process for sacrificial animal purchases during Eid al-Adha. https://www.bolnews.com/latest/2024/05/state-bank-to-introduce-qr-codes-for-buying-qurbani-animals/

My GoPro was dead, and no one was filming. I’d been off-roading for about six and a half hours already. I definitely had a solid impression of what the refreshed F-150 Raptor R was all about, and I didn’t need to drive more.I buried the Raptor’s accelerator pedal and let the supercharged V-8 turn a lake bed into silt for the fourth time in a row, swinging wide of traffic-cone apexes, three-quarters sideways, with the four-wheel-drive on and the exhaust baffles wide open. I grinned like a lunatic.Now, I did have to test it a little, to be fair. The Raptor R is mildly updated under the hood for 2024. Ford dosed the intake with some Claritin, and breathing easier added 20 horsepower for a berserk total of 720—but what’s more important is what didn’t change. The same 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 resides in the bay, and with the V-8 Ram TRX biting the dust for 2024, the Raptor R stands 300 horsepower above its only other V-8 competition, the 420 horsepower Silverado ZR2. The Raptor R is the pinnacle of a (supposedly) dying breed, and it flies the V-8 flag proudly. Its exhaust note and supercharger whine is worth the price of admission; Getting the most-powerful half-ton truck ever built is the icing on the cake. The 20 added horsepower allow the Raptor R to take the crown from the previous record-holding 702-horsepower Ram TRX.The more exciting update, however, is in the wheel wells. Fox and Ford teamed up to revise the Raptor’s Live Valve suspension, which updates valving characteristics on the fly depending on drive mode and driving style. The new Dual Live Valve system works under compression and rebound (previously, it was only on compression). The new shocks are standard on any Raptor with 37-inch tires and all Raptor Rs. These shocks and redesigned CV axles allow Ford engineers to squeeze another half inch of travel out of the front suspension, for a maximum 13.5 inches. A new modular front bumper with an updated front fascia, rad Raptor R graphics, and a standard heads-up display—with one of the coolest shift light systems on the market—round out the changes. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/720497/2024-ford-raptor-first-drive-review/

Archer had a watching brief to start with on Saturday after England were inserted by Pakistan and saw his side reach 144-2 inside 15 overs thanks principally to Buttler's 23rd T20 international fifty but also a 23-ball 37 from Will Jacks.However, the hosts then lost five wickets for 25 runs as a clutch of batters scuffed to the fielders on the fence, meaning Archer's late boundaries were a welcome addition to the total.England's batting largely fired early on with Jacks and Buttler sharing a stand of 71 from 42 balls for the third wicket after the early exit of Phil Salt (13 off 9). Jacks' two sixes, both nailed down the ground, left the Sky Sports commentators purring, while Buttler struck a remarkable maximum over extra-cover with a reverse sweep off the expensive Shadab Khan (0-55). Jonny Bairstow (21 off 18) chipped in, too, but his dismissal - caught at deep backward square of Shaheen Shah Afridi (3-36) - triggered the middle-order malaise, with Harry Brook (1) bowled trying to cut a straight ball from economical left-arm spinner Imad (2-19), and Moeen Ali (4), Buttler and Chris Jordan (3) falling to seamers. Archer, though, carved Mohammad Amir for four over deep third from the first ball he faced and then sent the left-arm quick for six over long-on to end England's innings with a flourish.Archer was then on the receiving end of some big hitting as he stepped up to bowl the sixth over of the Pakistan innings, creamed back over his head by Babar Azam (32 off 26), before Fakhar Zaman (45 off 21) whipped him for four and six into the leg-side. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/13142926/jofra-archer-takes-wickets-on-england-return-as-hosts-beat-pakistan-in-second-t20-international-at-edgbaston
