Palestinians gather to receive cooked meals from a food distribution center in Gaza City on August 13, 2025. Israeli military said on August 13 it had approved the framework for a new offensive in the Gaza Strip, as Hamas condemned what it called "aggressive" Israeli ground incursions in Gaza City. The approval for the expanded offensive comes days after Israel's security cabinet called for the seizure of Gaza's largest city, following 22 months of war that have created dire humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian territory.

<p>Pope Leo XIV met the basketball teams from two US colleges at a rare gathering in the Vatican, which included the pope's former university, Villanova. The men’s and women’s sides from Villanova, and Notre Dame, known as the Fighting Irish, will duke it out at Rome’s Palazzo dello Sport on Sunday, in the opening game of the season. The first American pope, born Robert Prevost, who graduated from Villanova in 1977, told the audience he would not be taking sides, but still dropped a rather large hint at where his allegiance might lie.</p>

Protesters stand amid tear gas near Place de la Bourse, in a protest ban zone, as part of a demonstration in favor of purchasing power, the protection of public services, and fiscal and social justice, in Bordeaux, western France on October 24, 2026 as part of a nationwide call for mobilisation bringing together former members of the Yellow Vest movement, labor unions, high school and university students. Protests by high school students over learning conditions sparked a movement that has since spread nationwide, fuelled by broader anger over the rising cost of living. About 70,000 security personnel will be deployed on October 24, 2026, Interior Minister said at a news conference, warning that calls for violence and looting were circulating on social media.
