US President Donald Trump on Thursday made another attempt to curb birthright citizenship, signing an order targeting those who he said enter the country under the guise of tourism while actually intending to give birth. "They've taken birthright citizenship and they've made a joke out of it," Trump told journalists in the Oval Office. Stephen Miller, one of Trump's closest advisors, said the order also aims to deny birthright citizenship to others, including children of members of "foreign terrorist organizations" as well as "large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments." The move "ensures that large numbers of people who wrongly (would) be getting birthright citizenship will no longer be eligible for those benefits," Miller said. The president signed another executive order last year decreeing that children born to parents in the United States illegally or on temporary visas would not automatically become US citizens. Lower courts blocked that move, ruling that under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, nearly everyone born on US soil is an American citizen.

The Saudi-led military coalition supporting Yemen's internationally recognized government said early on Friday that 11 civilians were wounded in a Houthi terrorist attack on the southern Saudi border region of Najran. The coalition's spokesperson said in a statement the wounded included seven Saudi nationals, among them a woman and a four-year-old child who suffered second-degree burns, as well as one Yemeni, two Egyptians and one Pakistani national. "The Houthi terrorist militia carried out its terrorist attacks, firing projectiles indiscriminately against civilian targets," Major General Terki Al-Maliki said. The attacks constitute "a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and its customary rules by deliberately targeting civilians and civilian objects," he added. Major General Al-Maliki affirmed that the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition will continue to take deterrent measures against these terrorist attacks to ensure the protection of civilians.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday told reporters that he believed the war with Iran would be over soon. "I think it's going to end pretty soon. I don't think they can go much longer," Trump said in the Oval Office in a reference to Iran. When asked about the status of munitions stockpiles, Trump said the country had an almost unlimited supply of certain weapons but acknowledged inventories of others were limited. "We have certain types of munitions that are very powerful, that we have unlimited, virtual unlimited supply. We have others where it's a little bit tighter," Trump said. Trump said US defense companies were building more production plants, including facilities for Patriot and Tomahawk missiles.

Education Minister Dr Jalal Al-Tabtabaei gave orders Thursday to cancel the license of the Iranian private school in Kuwait and close it. The decision goes into effect immediately, meaning that no new students will enroll in the school next year. The ministry urged parents to transfer their kids to other schools for the 2026/2027 academic year.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday that he did not have confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the handling of his proposal to sell off commercial rights to the World Cup. Infantino was holding a crisis meeting with top FIFA officials in Morocco on Wednesday after the collapse of the proposal triggered fresh criticism ahead of his bid for a fourth term at next year's FIFA Congress in March. Some of Infantino's FIFA colleagues have joined in the furore, with Secretary ​General Mattias Grafstrom calling the saga a "sad and reproachable series of events," while senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro resigned last week. "The idea that proper governance is not to disclose to your closest advisers, your chief operating officer, your fellow board members something of consequence ... that's fatal, should be fatal, and you lose confidence in that individual," Carney told reporters in Toronto. "Certainly I don't have confidence in Mr. Infantino after this point, given what transpired, and given the nature of what transpired." Canada served as a co-host for the World Cup that concluded last month, drawing in robust crowds for matches in Toronto and Vancouver, along with the US and Mexico. North American football chief and Canadian businessman Victor Montagliani has emerged as a possible candidate to replace Infantino. "(Montagliani is a) credit to Canada, credit to football. Done a very good job in his role at CONCACAF," said Carney. "He's someone I know well and have tremendous respect for."

The Democratic Party's progressive wing scored a high-profile victory when Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's US Senate primary, US media projected on Wednesday, giving its anti-establishment message a boost ahead of November's midterm elections. El-Sayed, whose message focused on healthcare, the economy and an end to unconditional military aid to Israel, was the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state that President Donald Trump carried in 2024. Tuesday's vote, billed as a defining test of the party's direction, became an election-night cliffhanger before US media projected early on Wednesday that El-Sayed had narrowly prevailed over US Representative Haley Stevens, a moderate supported by Democratic leaders and pro-Israel groups. The race served as a battleground between progressives and moderates over support for Israel, an issue that has played out in primaries nationwide this year. But unlike contests in liberal bastions, this was a statewide race in a Midwestern swing state for a seat Democrats must win if they have any hopes of securing a Senate majority in November. Stevens benefited from tens of millions of dollars in spending by a pro-Israel super PAC, and her supporters argued she was the more electable candidate in the general election, when she will face Republican Mike Rogers, a former US representative. El-Sayed's victory could intensify debate within Democratic ranks over the political appeal of economic populism, anti-establishment campaigning and a tougher approach toward Israel.

The Walt Disney Co. has signed a first-of-its-kind agreement with TikTok, allowing users to incorporate clips from Disney films and characters into their videos. The partnership aims to boost fan-created content and strengthen Disney+ engagement as part of the company’s digital storytelling strategy. Disney did not disclose financial details of the deal. The announcement came alongside its quarterly earnings, which showed a 7% increase in revenue to $25.2 billion, while net profit fell to $2.8 billion, mainly due to higher taxes, despite exceeding analysts’ expectations.

Turkish top-tier side Trabzonspor said on Tuesday they have begun transfer negotiations with Mohamed Salah, with the club chairman adding they hoped to sign the Egyptian forward later this week. "Negotiations have been launched to transfer professional footballer Mohamed Salah, who is in a free status, to our club," the club said in a statement on Turkey's public disclosure platform. Speaking to broadcaster A Spor shortly after the statement, Trabzonspor Chairman Ertugrul Dogan said that while the transfer was not yet complete, Salah was expected to arrive in Istanbul for medical checks on Wednesday and then head to Trabzon to sign with the Black Sea side. He did not say when the contract would be signed, but said it would likely be on Thursday. Trabzonspor - who are generally considered to be the fourth biggest team in Turkey after Istanbul sides Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, and Besiktas - finished third in the Super Lig last season and will enter the Europa League playoff round. Salah had been close to joining Istanbul club Besiktas, whose football director Onder Ozen said negotiations had stalled over financial and image-rights demands, according to local media.

Italy is placing all its 27 major cities under its highest heat alert on Thursday, as the country's fourth heatwave of the summer intensifies, the health ministry said on Tuesday. Temperatures have climbed to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in some areas of Italy and little relief is expected before the weekend. Twenty-five cities were put on red alert on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the only two currently on a lesser amber alert, Messina and Reggio Calabria in the far south of the country, moving up to the maximum level on Thursday. A red alert indicates a potential health emergency with prolonged high temperatures posing a serious health risk to the entire population, including young and healthy people. Local authorities urged residents in affected areas to avoid exposure to heat and direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm, stay indoors where possible and drink plenty of fluids. A spokesperson at the health ministry said it was the first time this year that all 27 cities had been issued with a red alert, but could not confirm if this had ever happened in previous years.

Palestinians in Gaza City held a mass funeral for 112 Palestinians whose remains were recovered from the rubble after nearly three years of genocide. Authorities in Gaza said Saturday that they had recovered the remains of another 112 people in rubble, part of daunting operations after more than two years of Israeli strikes. Gaza's civil defence agency said it found the remains or body parts following 136 hours of digging, largely with bare hands, in Sabra, a neighbourhood in the south of Gaza City. The remains included those of 40 children, 38 women and seven people who had had physical disabilities, according to the agency. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it supported the operation, which took place over nearly two weeks. "For more than two and a half years, thousands of families in Gaza have lived in pain and uncertainty, waiting for the chance to recover the remains of their loved ones, mourn them and lay them to rest with dignity," said Amani Al-Naouq, ICRC spokesperson in Gaza. "The search for missing persons and the recovery of human remains is a critically important humanitarian issue," she said. Colonel Mohammed Abu Dan, who is in charge of the site for the civil defence agency, said that the team has not yet found 157 other bodies believed to be under the rubble there. 📹: @AFP

Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the continued violations committed by Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, particularly attacks targeting civilians and healthcare facilities that caused casualties among civilians including women and children, in breach of international and humanitarian law. The continued violations constitute a breach of the ceasefire agreement, undermine efforts by mediating countries and concerned parties to implement its subsequent phases, and further deepen the suffering endured by civilians across Gaza, the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. Kuwait called on the international community to uphold its responsibilities by protecting civilians, humanitarian workers and medical facilities, ensuring unimpeded humanitarian aid access, and working toward a permanent ceasefire to end the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
