An Israeli airstrike on Saturday destroyed a high-rise building that housed The Associated Press office in the Gaza Strip, despite repeated urgent calls from the news agency to the military to halt the impending attack. Twelve AP staffers and freelancers were working and resting in the bureau on Saturday afternoon when the Israeli military telephoned a warning, giving occupants of the building one hour to evacuate. Although no one was hurt, the airstrike demolished an office that was like a second home for AP journalists and marked a new chapter in the already rocky relationship between the Israeli military and the international media.

A severe cyclone is roaring in the Arabian Sea off southwestern India with winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour (87 miles per hour), already causing heavy rains and flooding that have killed at least four people, officials said Sunday. Cyclone Tauktae, the season’s first major storm, is expected to make landfall on Tuesday in Gujarat state, a statement by the India Meteorological Department said. The massive storm will likely hamper India’s fight against a coronavirus surge that's sweeping the country with devastating death tolls, as virus lockdown measures may slow relief work and damage from the storm could potentially destroy roads and cut vital supply lines.

Facebook has been urged to halt its encryption plans after child abuse reports more than halved in Europe due to new privacy laws. The social media giant was forced to turn off its scanning technology that detects child abuse after the EU ruled it threatened the privacy of Facebook users. The move led to a 58 per cent fall in reports of child abuse to the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which passes on the information to police around the world for investigation. After the introduction of the new EU privacy laws in December, the number of child abuse reports in Europe fell from 246,688 in the 18 weeks before the change to 104,497 in the 18 weeks after it. The NSPCC said the scanning switch-off provided a glimpse of what could happen if Facebook goes ahead with its plans to introduce end to end encryption of communications across all its platforms. It means the company will no longer be able to read and intercept messages, as it can now through its scanning technology. Alison Trew, Senior Child Safety Online Policy Officer at the NSPCC, said: “This staggering drop in reports means child sexual abuse is going undetected and undisrupted while possibly leaving young victims without support. “This also serves as an alarming warning of the likely impact that end-to-end encryption will have in the UK and why Facebook should not proceed until they can guarantee children’s safety won’t be compromised. “It’s vital tech firms invest to find engineering solutions to protect children in end-to-end encrypted environments and this is underpinned by regulation that keeps child users safe from risky design choices.” Now that the EU have reached a temporary agreement, the NSPCC has urged Facebook to immediately follow the industry standard and restart scanning for abuse.
Fans are back at Pimlico Race Course to witness another chance at a Triple Crown. The Preakness will feel somewhat back to normal, even if everything carries a giant asterisk. The limited capacity of 10,000 fans expected Saturday is far less than the crowd of 100,000 that usually packs the grandstand and infield and is a fraction of the 50,000 who saw Medina Spirit win the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs two weeks ago.

While the Arab League and organizations like the Saudi-based OIC have maintained their view that the Palestinians should have their own independent state, Israel recently has reached recognition deals with several of its members. “The plight of the Palestinian people is the bleeding wound of the Islamic world today,” Afghan Foreign Minister Mohammad Haneef Atmar said.
