An appeals court judge claimed on Monday that Nazis were given more rights to contest their removal from the United States during the second world war than Venezuelan migrants deported by the Trump administration.

The comments came during a contentious hearing shortly after a lower court thwarted the Trump administration’s effort to deport the immigrants under a roughly 225-year-old war powers law.

The Australian government’s scientific agency has joined more than a dozen universities in being sent a questionnaire from the Trump administration asking to confirm whether it aligns with US government interests.

On Tuesday, the CSIRO revealed it had received the correspondence from the US. A spokesperson at the CSIRO said it was aware of a “small number” of researchers who had received the questionnaire in recent weeks and was “determining an appropriate response”.

Israeli settlers beat up one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning documentary film “ No Other Land ” on Monday in the occupied West Bank before he was detained by the Israeli military, according to two of his fellow directors and other witnesses.

The filmmaker Hamdan Ballal was one of three Palestinians detained in the village of Susiya, according to attorney Lea Tsemel, who is representing them. Police told her they were being held at a military base for medical treatment, but she said Tuesday morning that she had not been able to reach them and had no further information on their whereabouts.

Diplomatic circles in Brussels said: "The inclusion of China in the "coalition of the willing" could potentially strengthen Russia's agreement to the presence of peacekeeping forces in Ukraine." In any case, the issue is "sensitive."

Almost every residential area is plagued by overflowing bins. Rats and other vermin are taking over the streets, and fly-tippers are exploiting the strike by dumping rubbish in open spaces.

More than a million people have been affected. Some say they are being held to ransom over the fate of a small number of refuse collectors, while others accuse the bankrupt city council of snatching money from essential workers due to its own financial mismanagement.

Hezbollah, the main armed group active in Lebanon, said it had not carried out the attack, and that it remained committed to the ceasefire that ended 14 months of conflict in Lebanon.

This is the worst violence since the fragile ceasefire, brokered by the US and France, came into effect, ending more than a year of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Kazakhstan is making significant strides in wildlife conservation, actively restoring populations of Przewalski’s horse, the Turanian tiger, and the snow leopard. These efforts mark a major step toward reintroducing species that were once native to the region but had either disappeared or faced severe population declines.

Professor Glees said: “We are obliged to think about Russian military intelligence being involved in something as serious as this.

“It’s a very serious hit on our critical national infrastructure [and] that we should suspect the Russians and their surrogates being responsible is in itself an indication of the success of Russian subversive activities in the United Kingdom.

“This could be a coincidence, but bearing in mind there are more than 585,000 electrical substations in the UK, why this particular one should explode does seem to me to be more than a coincidence.”

The AP documented 59 incidents in which European governments, prosecutors, intelligence services or other Western officials blamed Russia, groups linked to Russia or its ally Belarus for cyberattacks, spreading propaganda, plotting killings or committing acts of vandalism, arson, sabotage or espionage since the Feb. 24, 2022, invasion.

Europe's biggest military powers are drawing up plans to take on greater responsibilities for the continent's defence from the U.S., including a pitch to the Trump administration for a managed transfer over the next five to 10 years, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.

The UK, France, Germany and the Nordics are among the countries engaged in the informal but structured discussions, the newspaper reported, citing four European officials involved.
