Four weeks after Hamas's shock rampage, Israel's military says it has got Gaza City surrounded. But at what cost? The Palestinian territory's largest refugee camp has been bombed twice in two days, with dozens killed. And with each day that passes, the world is fed tales of horror and despair.
The call to protect civilians was broadcast loud and clear by the US secretary of state. It's the fourth visit in four weeks to Israel for Antony Blinken. He now arrives in Jordan, where earlier thousands turned out in the capital to rally for a ceasefire. Jordan recalled its ambassador to Israel earlier this week after the bombing of Gaza City's Jabalia refugee camp.
Also, Britain's King Charles III has made his first visit to a Commonwealth nation since his coronation. In Kenya, Charles said there was "no excuse" for the atrocities committed during British colonial rule, but stopped short of a full apology.
They broke up in 1970, but thanks to artificial intelligence, The Beatles are putting out a new single this week. "Now and Then" features a polished version of an unfinished demo tape with the late John Lennon on vocals.
