Britain’s child safety pitch arrives bundled with age checks, Ofcom fees, and a preferred class of news providers.
By Cindy Harper | Reclaim The Net | September 18, 2026
British officials were reportedly summoned to the US embassy in London earlier this week to be told that the US government was unhappy with three parts of the UK’s online censorship law, the Online Safety Act. […]
The three parts of the law that the US has taken issue with are: the fees that regulator Ofcom charges to fund its work, the ban on under-16s using social media, and the “trusted media” prominence plans. […]
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy’s comments around the “trusted media” plan were that it is “vital that we make sure that people have better access to trusted and accurate news and that our regulated public service media is seen and heard in the fierce battle against mis and disinformation.”
But this “fierce battle” is censorship, and the US reaction to it, as well as to the other two contentious points, is clearly not motivated by a desire to protect speech, but rather, to protect US companies. … Full article

Investigate Europe and Reporters United uncovered a coordinated campaign against European universities seeking to cut ties with Israeli institutions. A letter sent to Brussels shows how future access to European research funding became a source of pressure.
In May 2024, Ghent University decided to end institutional collaborations with Israeli universities and research bodies that its human rights review identified as closely connected to the Israeli government or security services.
Both participated in WHEATWATCHER, an EU-funded agricultural research project coordinated by Ghent. When the Belgian university approached European officials about excluding them or leaving the consortium, the two Israeli institutions instructed Kesher, a Brussels law firm, to intervene on their behalf.
The response came in a 14-page letter sent to the European Research Executive Agency (REA) on November 12, 2024, in which Kesher accused Ghent of discrimination, restricting academic freedom, misusing ethical reviews and violating European financial and competition rules.
The firm asked the European Commission to remind Ghent of a rule allowing organisations responsible for serious failures in publicly funded commitments to be excluded from future EU award procedures. It also argued that the university should be prevented from applying the same policy when forming new research consortiums.
Kesher said its clients would pursue every available remedy “systematically.” If Ghent continued, they would file multiple complaints and begin whatever proceedings they considered necessary. The letter showed how the consequences could extend from the immediate costs of leaving one agricultural project to litigation and possible exclusion from future EU funding. … Full article

NABLUS – An 18-year-old Palestinian woman was injured on Friday evening by live-fire shrapnel after Jewish settlers opened fire toward her as she stood outside her family’s home in the eastern part of Aqraba, south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

On Friday, Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian in central Gaza and continued to violate the “ceasefire” agreement for the 344th consecutive day, carrying out attacks across the devastated coastal enclave.
Medical sources announced that Karam Mus’ad al-Masar’a died on Friday morning from wounds sustained when Israeli soldiers shot him on Julis Street in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
A medical source said two Palestinians were injured when Israeli soldiers opened fire near Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, raising the number of Palestinians injured in the area since Thursday afternoon to five.
Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire northeast and south of Khan Younis, while Israeli helicopter gunships fired east and south of the city. Israeli naval vessels also opened fire offshore along the Khan Younis coast.
Israeli helicopter gunships opened fire toward Rafah in southern Gaza, while artillery shelled an area northeast of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
East of Gaza City, Israeli helicopters opened fire, while occupation forces detonated several Palestinian homes in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood. … Full article
The Palestinian Information Center – September 18, 2026
GAZA – The Palestine Center for Prisoners Studies said Israeli authorities continue to hold dozens of prisoners from the Gaza Strip who were detained before October 7, 2023, despite some having completed their sentences years ago.
According to the Center, more than 43 Gaza prisoners remain in Israeli prisons after completing their sentences, representing about 55% of the 80 Gaza prisoners who were already detained before the war. […]
According to the Center, Gaza prisoners, both those detained before the war and those arrested since October 2023, are being held under harsh conditions and denied basic rights while facing various forms of physical and psychological abuse.
The Center reported that prisoners have been restrained from behind with plastic ties for prolonged periods, forced to lie on the ground for hours, attacked with police dogs and subjected to other forms of physical abuse. It also said that Israeli forces have directly used tear gas and rubber-coated bullets against detainees.
The Center further accused Israeli authorities of deliberately starving Gaza prisoners by providing inadequate quantities of poor-quality food that, in some cases, was unfit for consumption. It said some prisoners have suffered severe physical deterioration and lost as much as half their body weight. … Full article
GCC internet will go dark if Trump renews hostilities
By Kurt Nimmo | Another Day in the Empire | September 18, 2026
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait—are heavily invested in AI as part of a strategy to diversify away from petroleum. National AI strategies across GCC countries emphasize investment in research and development, encourage public-private partnerships, and create regulatory frameworks that support innovation. The GCC AI market size increased from USD $6.22 billion in 2025 to USD $7.60 billion in 2026. It is projected to reach USD $23.03 billion by 2034.
In April, Iran’s Tasnim news agency mentioned the submarine cables, landing stations, and data hubs in the Gulf as strategic pressure points in the conflict initiated by the United States and Israel. According to the market research company IMARC Group, subsea internet data cables in the Gulf sit at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and Africa, and damage to these networks risks connectivity losses in one of the world’s most important internet traffic zones.
The economic importance of these cable systems extends far outside internet browsing or streaming services, notes Techstory, “because financial markets, payment systems and cloud computing firms depend on uninterrupted connections between continents every second of the day. Data centers in the Gulf and Asia also depend on those same cables to connect cloud systems serving businesses around the world.” Analysts estimate that networks linked to the GCC support roughly $10 trillion worth of financial transactions daily.
Iran claims the cables are within its territorial waters and fall under its jurisdiction. Tasnim and Fars suggest Iran may charge tech companies to use the internet cables, while Ebrahim Zolfaghari, a Brigadier General and the spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said that “companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon” will be required to “comply with Iranian law” and pay licensing fees for cable passage, with repair and maintenance rights given exclusively to Iranian firms. … continue

JPMorgan has abandoned its baseline forecast for how and when the Iran war could end, saying economic conditions once expected to pressure US President Donald Trump toward de-escalation have failed to produce a clear exit strategy.
“For the first time since the start of the Iran conflict, we don’t have a baseline view,” Natasha Kaneva, head of global commodities strategy at JPMorgan, said in a Thursday note, per CNBC. “We simply don’t know how to model the endgame.”
Kaneva said JPMorgan initially expected several economic red lines to push Trump toward an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in June. Those thresholds included oil prices above $100 a barrel, gasoline approaching $5 per gallon, and the 10-year US Treasury yield exceeding 5%.
“Six months later, many of those lines have been crossed, yet the exit strategy is less clear, not more,” she said. … Full article

Bangladesh’s export factories are cutting production and Pakistan has rolled out fuel subsidies as disruptions to Gulf energy supplies drive shortages and higher costs across South Asia.
The pressure follows disruptions to oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz after the US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Iranian-backed Houthis has also threatened trade through the Red Sea, another key route for Gulf energy supplies.
Bangladesh has been particularly exposed. The country relies heavily on imported LNG for electricity, and disruptions to supplies from Qatar have forced Dhaka to seek more expensive cargoes on the spot market. The gas and power shortages have triggered blackouts and factory shutdowns.
Asian spot prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) have climbed close to $30 per million British thermal units from around $10 before the conflict.
The pressure is now hitting Bangladesh’s garment industry, its biggest export sector. A survey by the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association found that 55% of factories have seen buyers cancel or reduce orders because of gas and power shortages since late August, while 78% partially halted production.
Production delays are also raising costs. One garment producer spent $50,000 to air-freight jackets to a French buyer after delays, Reuters reported. Factories have turned to diesel to keep operations running, and industrial growth and production are slowing, Power Minister Iqbal Hasan Mahmud said this week. … Full article

Italy will deploy naval forces to help ensure the safe passage of Italian vessels through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said on Thursday, amid heightened security concerns linked to renewed fighting in Yemen.
Speaking at a maritime forum, Crosetto said escalating clashes along Yemen’s western coast were disrupting navigation through Bab al-Mandab, a strategically important waterway connecting the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.
The defence minister said the renewed security concerns in Bab al-Mandab were adding to disruptions affecting the Strait of Hormuz and increasing the economic impact of wider regional tensions.
Crosetto said that, in coordination with Italy’s Chief of the Defence Staff, he had decided to mobilize the Italian Navy and take measures aimed at protecting Italian vessels transiting the strait. … Full article

Israel is expected to seek “compensation” from the US in the form of weapons systems that Washington has so far declined to sell to Tel Aviv, in response to US plans to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia in a $25 billion deal, Walla reported on 18 September.
A source familiar with the matter told the Hebrew news outlet that the Israeli military would prefer that no other country in West Asia receive the F-35 to preserve Israel’s qualitative military edge (QME) in the region.
The deal marks the first time an Arab state gains access to the F-35, the US military’s most advanced warplane. … continue

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has called for temporary ceasefire and dialogue with Yemen’s Ansaraullah resistance movement, amid crippling Yemeni blockade and painful strikes on the kingdom, a report says.
Lebanon’s al-Akhbar news website, citing informed sources, reported that Riyadh has asked Oman to convey to Ansarullah its proposal for a two-week ceasefire and direct talks with the movement’s leadership with the aim of “addressing humanitarian demands” and ultimately “reaching a comprehensive agreement by the end of the truce.”
According to the report, the kingdom expressed its willingness to lift the siege on Yemen and allow the entry of aid into the country.
However, the report said, Ansarullah seeks “a final and comprehensive solution to the conflict, on the basis that there is a Yemeni-Saudi battle that has nothing to do with internal Yemeni affairs.”
The sources stressed that the resistance movement’s demands include an end to the blockade in all its forms: aerial, ground and naval, as well as Saudi Arabia’s military, security and political withdrawal from Yemen, and Saudi compensation for damage caused by the kingdom’s strikes. … continue

Vladimir Zelensky is “scum” and a “suicide method chosen by the Ukrainian nation,” according to his former press secretary, Yulia Mendel, who was just blocked from speaking at the European Parliament.
Mendel worked for Zelensky during the early years of his tenure and resigned in 2021, citing personal reasons. In one of her latest critical interviews, she said her conscience compelled her to go public with the accusations she has made against her former boss in recent months.
“I ask God every day for forgiveness because I helped this scum to come to power and stay there,” she told Ukrainian blogger Lilia Bagirova on Thursday. “If I remained silent I would not have forgiven myself.”
Mendel also said that after watching Zelensky pursue policies she considers disastrous amid Ukraine’s conflict with Russia – including forced mobilization, while corruption continued to plague the country – she no longer regarded him as a human being. … Full article

Russia has demanded that Japan remove US mid-range Typhon missile systems from its territory, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said, describing the deployment as unacceptable and a threat to national security and regional stability.
In a statement published by the Foreign Ministry on Friday, Zakharova said Moscow sent Tokyo a formal protest note on September 3 after the US deployed the launchers to the southwestern island of Kyushu, 1,300 km from the city of Vladivostok.
“The Japanese side was told to stop this practice and remove the above-mentioned systems from its territory,” she said, adding that Moscow opposes these deployments regardless of the duration.
The US Army brought Typhon systems to Japan’s Kanoya Air Base in Kagoshima Prefecture in June for the Valiant Shield exercise and kept them there for another drill being held this month. The launchers are slated to leave Kanoya in mid-October but are expected to be stored at US military facilities elsewhere in Japan. No live firing is planned during the deployment.
The Typhon is capable of launching SM-6 missiles, as well as Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles, which have a range of around 1,600 km. The US developed the Typhon after withdrawing from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which prohibited US and Soviet ground-launched and cruise missiles with ranges of 500 to 5,500 km.
Zakharova noted that China recently delivered a similar protest to Japan over its “remilitarization.” … Full article

Russia’s Foreign Ministry summoned UK Chargé d’Affaires in Moscow Danae Dholakia on Friday, lodging a formal protest over London’s growing supply of drones and other weapons to Kiev.
The ministry said in a statement that by continuing to arm Ukraine with long-range weapons, the UK is placing itself in the position of “accomplice to Kiev’s atrocities.” Dholakia was presented with a list of international obligations Russian officials say London is violating through its military backing of Ukraine.
Moscow said it reserves the right to take retaliatory measures under its right to self-defense, warning that the UK “bears full responsibility for any further unfavorable development of the situation.” The ministry said the UK side “has been required to abandon its escalatory course and bring its actions in line with its relevant international obligations.”
The ministry added that UK military facilities inside Ukraine used to carry out strikes on Russian territory “are a legitimate target for the Russian armed forces.” The ministry stressed that British actions in Ukraine “clearly aim at prolonging and escalating the armed conflict.” … continue

Russia’s overnight attack on the De Novo data center in Kiev “will significantly affect operations, particularly in the realm of intelligence data processing,” military expert Yan Gagin told Sputnik.
“Intelligence agencies relied on this center to process info gathered through their agent networks. It was utilized to facilitate strikes against our facilities, including deep within our rear areas,” with “every target logged into a specific system and database, processed and assigned a strike priority.”
This digital kill chain network “will now face certain operational difficulties,” Gagin believes.
“While they have redundancy measures involving other data centers, including in Europe, the fact that this specific facility has been partially disabled will have a serious impact on operations, particularly in the realms of data processing and potentially, target designation.”
Crucially, this includes targeting data received by Ukraine from its “NATO partners,” the observer emphasized. … continue

The Christian population in Jerusalem and Palestine is on the verge of extinction, as the government continues to push a racist and extremist approach towards the religious minority, Jerusalem activist Osama Barham told Sputnik.
“A war to deprive Christians of their livelihoods is being waged against them: there was an attempt to impose taxes on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, sparking protests in Resurrection Square that were Islamic-Christian in the fullest sense,” Barham added.
He stressed that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir “blesses attacks on churches,” saying that when settlers spit at monasteries and churches, the government and the far right “bless it and say that it is one of the rituals of the Jewish religion.”
Barham emphasized that “no one in the Israeli government condemned the recent attack on a Christian woman wearing religious attire, while the assailant was released a few days later on the grounds of mental illness.”
He compared the incident to the 1969 arson attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the numerous killings in which the perpetrator is always declared “mentally unstable.”

His comments advocating Jewish supremacy were captured on video and have been shared on social media.
Milwidsky presents Jewish supremacy as a justification for exemption from laws that bind other nations, claiming that the Jewish people’s God-given status places them above rules binding others.

Saudi Arabia’s decade-long strategy of using military force, financial resources, and sustained pressure to contain the Yemeni Armed Forces or force them into a settlement on Riyadh’s terms is facing its most serious test since the kingdom meddled in Yemen in 2015, according to an analysis by Middle East and Africa writer Elfadil Ibrahim published by Responsible Statecraft.
After taking control of strategically important areas along Yemen’s western Red Sea coast, the Yemeni Armed Forces are advancing toward Marib, the last major stronghold of the Saudi-backed government forces and the location of some of the country’s key oil and gas infrastructure.
For the Saudi-backed government, the loss of the Red Sea coast was a major setback, but the fall of Marib would be far more consequential. It would deprive it of its last significant population and revenue center in northern Yemen while cutting off its remaining foothold close to the capital, as per the analysis.
In Ibrahim’s view, control of Marib would also give the YAF a route toward Shabwa and Hadhramawt, two energy-producing provinces in eastern Yemen. A share of the oil and gas wealth generated in those areas is among the YAF’s core demands, he added. […]
Yemen’s YAF sets terms as Saudi Arabia’s strategy falters
If military pressure … failed to weaken the YAF, negotiations appear to be the only viable short-term alternative, as per the analysis.
The movement has already publicly outlined its demands. In March, Ansar Allah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi put the compensation sought for oil-sector losses attributed to the Saudi-led aggression at more than $57 billion.
The demand comes in addition to calls to lift the brutal Saudi blockade on its airports and seaports and to secure a share of Yemen’s oil and gas revenues, the same resources the YAF are now positioning themselves to take control of militarily, as per the analysis.
For Riyadh, the path forward remains fraught with difficult choices. Even an agreement reached at such a high financial cost and under such challenging conditions would not erase the leverage the YAF have built, the analysis noted. – Full article

Saudi Arabia is reportedly facing depleted reserves of missile interceptor systems and has appealed to regional partners and Western allies for assistance as Yemeni Armed Forces continue retaliatory missile and drone operations against strategic sites deep inside the kingdom.

The Yemeni operations are being carried out in retaliation for ongoing airstrikes and the blockade against their Arab Peninsula nation.

German Chancellor and CDU leader Friedrich Merz is once again advocating for an end to online anonymity.
Merz spoke at the Chancellery in Berlin on Tuesday, where he received the winners of the 61st federal “Jugend forscht” youth research competition, and took their questions. The event was streamed live by the government.
One of the participants asked Merz about introducing a real-name requirement on the internet, and how it could be reconciled with the work of informants, investigative journalism, and the need to sometimes be able to communicate anonymously.
Merz’s answer did not address the question of journalism at all. Instead, he spoke about the difficulties in establishing who is behind an online message, and who to hold responsible, as well as the proliferation of messages generated by bots.
“Please, nobody come to me with free speech. This has nothing more to do with free speech,” Merz said. Free speech, he continued, is “at best” a libertarian understanding of politics out of parts of the US, “that I personally do not share.”
A liberal society, he went on, must be able to protect its citizens “from false information, from personal denigration, from discrimination.” […]
… while Merz spoke about the need to protect “our democracy” from false information, he did not say who decides what is false. But he has personally filed hundreds of criminal complaints over the years, while his party and others refer thousands of social media posts to the prosecutors each year. And the police carry out hundreds of raids over insults and alleged hate speech.
In other words, the machinery is in place, and all that is needed is to make it easy to identify who is to be targeted. – Full article

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez is under fire over allegations that he helped fuel a false drug story about MEP and prominent pro-Palestine activist Rima Hassan while she was in custody over a social media post.
Hassan’s left-wing La France Insoumise (LFI), or France Unbowed party, has demanded that Nunez resign after a France 2 investigation released Wednesday alleged he leaked a false story to reporters about drugs purportedly found in Hassan’s belongings by police.
The drug was later identified as legal CBD (cannabidiol) and the probe was dropped, prompting LFI to accuse Nunez of media “manipulation” and fueling a false story.
What exactly happened?
The case dates back to April, when Hassan was summoned to Paris police headquarters over a since-deleted social media post quoting Kozo Okamoto. Okamoto, a member of the Japanese Red Army, was convicted over the 1972 Lod Airport attack in Tel Aviv, carried out on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which killed 26 people.
The French-Palestinian MEP and prominent pro-Palestinian activist was placed in custody on suspicion of online “apology for terrorism,” an offense punishable by up to seven years in prison. […]
In 2014, France moved the offense of “apology for terrorism” (apologie du terrorisme) from its press law into the Penal Code, giving prosecutors greater scope to pursue individuals accused of defending or praising terrorist acts. Under this legal framework, French authorities have pursued a range of high-profile figures over controversial speech, including right-wing commentator Eric Zemmour, prominent Islamologist Francois Burgat, and pro-Palestinian activist Mahdieh Esfandiari.
LFI argues those powers are being disproportionately used against opposition politicians and pro-Palestinian activists. Its National Assembly leader, Mathilde Panot, said in April that under Macron, “the criminalization of political opponents has reached a new level.”
Hassan’s trial for alleged “apology for terrorism,” initially scheduled for July, was postponed at her defense’s request and is now due in October. … Full article
The bill targets Big Tech, but its first casualties could be the small sites that cannot afford a lawsuit

US Representatives Mark DeSaulnier and Jimmy Patronis have introduced a bill to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Act, that generally protects online platforms and services from liability for third party content.
The two congressmen, a Democrat and a Republican, made the announcement on September 10, 2026, and their proposed legislation, the Sunset Section 230 Act, would achieve the repeal two years after its enactment.
The bill is brief, just six pages long, and simply states that Section 230 is “repealed” – without proposing any new, replacement framework of liability that online services would have to deal with. … Full article

Ed Sheeran’s backing band and three supporting acts have withdrawn from his tour after Macklemore was dropped following pressure from billionaire Robert Kraft and other stadium owners over the rapper’s pro-Palestinian performances.
Irish band Beoga, singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe, Danish band Lukas Graham and US musician Finneas announced their departures yesterday.
Macklemore said Kraft, the pro-Israel billionaire whose company owns Gillette Stadium and the New England Patriots, told Sheeran he would not be allowed to perform at the stadium. The rapper also accused Kraft of rallying other stadium owners to issue an ultimatum. … continue

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Wednesday to revoke the citizenship of those who “defame” Israeli soldiers in NAZA, a documentary on killings in Gaza, and impose significantly higher financial penalties on them, Anadolu reports.
Netanyahu made the remarks in a video statement following the recent screening of the Israeli documentary at the Venice International Film Festival. The film documents alleged crimes committed by Israeli forces during the war on the Gaza Strip.
“Regarding the film NAZA, which portrayed Israeli army officers and soldiers as war criminals, I will now introduce two bills, both government bills,” Netanyahu said.
He said the first bill would revoke the citizenship of those who “defame Israeli army soldiers.”
The second, according to Netanyahu, would increase by 20-fold the amount of compensation that could be sought against them in defamation cases. … Full article

Over 130 legal experts, including lawyers, former judges, and legal academics, told UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham in an open letter on 15 September that London’s newly unveiled sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements “fall far short” of what the UK is legally bound to do under international law.
“We ask it to commit to further and more rigorous measures to ensure that no part of the UK’s economic relationship with Israel continues to sustain the illegal occupation itself, and the settlements and other serious violations of fundamental rules of international law perpetrated through its conduct, and to build on this to adopt robust coercive measures to seek to bring all these serious violations of international law, and the practices they sustain, including, fundamentally, the occupation itself, to an end,” the letter read.
The signatories are pressing for a full arms embargo on Israel, citing Article 6(3) of the Arms Trade Treaty, which bars weapons transfers where a state is aware of crimes such as the ethnic cleansing that UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband himself said Israel is committing in the occupied West Bank.
The letter further seeks to extend the sanctions to insurance, accountancy, and digital infrastructure, along with an official statement that no UK public body, pension scheme, or sovereign fund is invested in the settlements. … Full article

The Israeli army demolished a Palestinian Bedouin settlement in the northern occupied West Bank where more than 20 Palestinians had lived for more than 20 years, Anadolu reports.
According to a statement by the Palestinian organization for the defense of Bedouin rights, BEYDER, the army demolished the settlement west of the town of Deir Ballut in Salfit.
More than 20 Palestinian Bedouins had lived in the settlement for over two decades, making their living through livestock farming and raising approximately 1,000 sheep and goats.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society earlier said that a Palestinian was critically injured by Israeli fire in the abdomen and thigh.

GAZA – The body of a Palestinian fisherman killed by Israeli naval fire was recovered on Wednesday, as Israeli forces continued violating the Gaza ceasefire through artillery shelling and gunfire across several areas of the enclave.
The body of fisherman Wissam Barham al-Aqra was recovered after he was killed on Tuesday by Israeli naval fire off the coast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.
Israeli artillery also shelled several areas in eastern Gaza on Wednesday morning, while Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire.
In southern Gaza, Israeli artillery targeted eastern and southern Khan Yunis, while Israeli military vehicles opened intense fire on areas east and south of the city. Israeli warships also fired toward the Khan Yunis coast as Israeli drones continued flying over southern Gaza. … Full article

The Gaza-based Health Ministry says around 70 percent of electricity generators serving hospitals across the besieged territory have gone out of service, warning that critical medical departments could stop functioning “at any moment” amid Israel’s ongoing blockade.
The Health Ministry said on Wednesday that severe shortages of fuel, engine oil and spare parts had forced around 70 percent of hospital generators across Gaza out of service, as Israel continues to enforce its inhumane blockade of the territory.
Zaher al-Wahidi, director of the Health Ministry’s Information Center, warned that the remaining generators could no longer guarantee electricity for vital hospital departments, leaving life-saving medical services at risk of shutting down “at any moment.” … Full article

GAZA – The Hamas Movement on Wednesday blamed Israel for the collapse of the Al-Saada residential building on residents and displaced families sheltering inside in Gaza City, warning that nearly 2,000 damaged and inhabited buildings across the Gaza Strip are at risk of collapse.
In a statement, Hamas said the collapse marked another catastrophic humanitarian consequence of the war, noting that widespread destruction of homes and residential neighborhoods has forced thousands of Palestinians to seek shelter in damaged and structurally unstable buildings.
The Movement warned that a severe shortage of heavy machinery and rescue equipment threatens further loss of life. It called for the immediate entry of heavy equipment and civil defence machinery to allow rescue crews to reach people trapped beneath the rubble. … Full article

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced a series of new operations against Saudi Arabia on 16 September, including the downing of a US-made Saudi fighter jet that was attacking Yemen, as well as new strikes on military and energy infrastructure.
The YAF said on Monday on its official media page that its soldiers “succeeded in shooting down a Saudi F-15 fighter aircraft while it was carrying out hostile activities in support of Saudi military mobilizations in the skies over Marib governorate.”
The operation was carried out “using a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile.” Footage of the downing and aftermath of the jet’s crash was released by the YAF.
It is a two-seated F-15SA worth $100 million. The fate of the pilot and copilot remains unknown.
The YAF also slammed Saudi claims of a Yemeni attack on Mecca.
“The fabrications and lies promoted by the criminal House of Saud regime, regarding an alleged attack on Mecca, cannot deceive anyone. They are the ones who desecrate it through immorality and debauchery.”
“Our operations target its oil facilities and military bases, which are entirely far removed from the holy sites,” the Yemeni army went on to say.
Saudi Arabia had claimed Ansarallah-led YAF forces carried out an attempted drone attack in the holy city.
The YAF also announced new strikes on Saudi military and energy infrastructure on Wednesday. It said it targeted “Aramco in Yanbu with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones,” adding that “strikes were precise and direct, by the grace of God, and caused major fires and extensive destruction.”
The YAF also said it “targeted Khamis Mushait Air Base with a number of ballistic missiles, achieving a precise hit.”
“We will continue our military operations targeting the Saudi interior,” it stressed. … Full article

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says its air defense forces have intercepted and destroyed the 52nd MQ-9 Reaper drone operated by the enemy since the US-Israeli aggression began.
The drone was intercepted and destroyed at 2:29 a.m. local time on Wednesday over Qeshm Island by the Iran’s advanced air defense system, the IRGC’s Public Relations Office announced
“During the Third Imposed War, hundreds of hostile drones have been shot down by the country’s air defense forces,” the IRGC said, noting that Lucas, Hermes, MQ-1 and MQ-9 drones were among them.
The IRGC Aerospace Force also intercepted and destroyed an MQ-1 Predator drone over the skies of the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.
The downing came hours after the IRGC announced the interception and destruction of another US MQ-1 over the strategic waterway, bringing the total number of MQ-1s downed by Iran’s Armed forces’ integrated air defense network to 3.
A few days earlier, the IRGC had also announced the destruction of a US military unmanned surface vessel, or drone boat, at the entrance to the strategic Strait of Hormuz. … Full article

The US military has fired up to 70 Patriot interceptor missiles and over a dozen THAAD interceptors and failed to repel a single Iranian strike targeting US facilities in Jordan last week, The Wall Street Journal newspaper has reported, citing sources.
A source said that the expenditure was comparable to what Washington had used over an entire week at other war periods. Iranian military has adapted their attacks by using warheads that separate into multiple projectiles as they get closer to the target, making them difficult to intercept, an official added.
As a result, the strike damaged US fighter jets and other aircraft at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, the report said on Tuesday.

The House of Representatives passed a third War Powers Resolution calling on President Donald Trump to end unauthorized hostilities against Iran. The following day, House Speaker Mike Johnson canceled the chamber’s remaining votes and sent lawmakers home early for the midterm recess, delaying a potential vote on Congressman Thomas Massie’s articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
The House passed H. Con. Res. 93 220-204 on Tuesday, with seven Republicans joining nearly all Democrats to pass the legislation. H. Con. Res. 93 directs President Donald Trump to end hostilities against Iran.
H. Con. Res. 93 invokes the War Powers Act to assert Congress’s power over war-making. President Donald Trump took the US to war against Iran earlier this year without any Congressional authorization.
Following the vote, Speaker Johnson announced the House would begin its midterm recess ahead of schedule. Massie responded to the news on X. “And there it is. Just as I predicted. They’re canceling Congress tomorrow to avoid the vote on IMPEACHING [Hegseth],” he wrote. … continue

BEIJING – The continuation of the conflict between the United States and Iran does not meet the interests of the two countries or the international community, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Wang Yi held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
“The continued prolongation of hostilities between the United States and Iran does not meet the common interests of either the parties to the conflict or the international community,” the Chinese minister was quoted as saying by CCTV. … continue

North Korean state media published an article slamming the US for encouraging South Korea and Japan to acquire nuclear-powered submarines. The author argued the move justified North Korea building up its nuclear deterrent.
In a commentary published by KCNA, international affairs analyst Choe Ju Hyon accused the US of instigating South Korea and Japan to acquire nuclear submarines. “The reality goes to prove that Washington’s plan for ‘AUKUS 2.0,’ which allows the transfer of nuclear technology for munitions to non-nuclear allies, has entered the phase of full-scale expansion,” he wrote.
AUKUS is a trilateral pact between the US, the UK, and Australia. Under the deal, the US and UK agreed to help Australia build a fleet of nuclear submarines. China has also criticized the transfer of nuclear-propulsion technology under AUKUS. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said AUKUS “undermine[s] strategic stability and provoke[s] an arms race in the region.” … continue

The EU banned a former aide to Vladimir Zelensky from entering the European Parliament on Wednesday, when she was due to speak at an event promoting diplomacy instead of escalation in the Ukraine conflict.
Yulia Mendel, who was Zelensky’s top communications liaison from 2019 to 2021 and who has since become a consistent critic of her former boss, had been invited to speak on the same day Ursula von der Leyen delivered her State of the Union speech.
According to Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Mendel was invited to give a speech in an EU Parliament session, “Ukraine: Daring for Peace. Diplomacy Instead of Escalation.” She had hoped to “shed light” on the conflict’s central political issues and discuss its possible end.
“On the day of my speech, I was barred from entering the European Parliament. I directly attribute this to Zelensky’s sanctions,” Mendel wrote on X on Wednesday. … continue

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for the creation of a European Security Council and a bloc-wide emergency security protocol in her State of the European Union address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg on 16 September, arguing that the EU’s security structures have fallen behind the threats now facing Europe.
“I believe it is time for Europe’s own Article 4, an emergency security protocol,” von der Leyen said, a reference to the NATO provision that allows alliance members to consult one another when any of them senses a security threat.
Explaining how the mechanism would work, she said, “When triggered by one member state, all member states would convene to coordinate a European response, to deter further escalation and to mitigate the impact.”
Von der Leyen said she would present plans to bring the council into being, as a forum where EU leaders would meet with partners including Canada, Ukraine, the UK, and Norway on European security.
She said the “nature and scale” of the dangers facing the continent made the initiative more pressing.
She also called for an agreed approach to attacks such as sabotage attempts, which stop short of armed aggression but still endanger national security. “Europe needs its own counter-hybrid playbook,” she told lawmakers. … Full article

The former leader of the NATO-backed Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) has been found responsible for war crimes committed by the militant group during its NATO-backed campaign to break away from Serbia in the 1990s.
Hasam Thaci, who served as the first president of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, has been found guilty of the murder of 96 political opponents and suspected Serbian collaborators, the verdict said. He was also convicted for the unlawful detention and torture of hundreds of people.
The 58-year-old Thaci and three other former KLA leaders tried in The Hague are widely regarded as heroes in Kosovo. Thaci’s defense argued that senior figures in the KLA could not control rank-and-file separatist fighters and thus could not be held responsible for crimes committed under their leadership. Lawyers described the group as lacking a strict military hierarchy during the 1998-99 conflict.
NATO’s bombing campaign targeting Serbia, which Washington and its European allies framed as a humanitarian intervention, ensured KLA’s victory. … continue

… all major military powers possess significant space weapons. There is a wide range of modern arms that can be described as “space weapons,” including ballistic missiles and laser weapons. These systems cross space or interact with objects in orbit in some way, even if they operate primarily from Earth. However, what the US is now revealing is not merely the existence of space weapons, but their presence directly in space – something condemned under international law.
In practice, this means the US is deliberately dismantling the global space security architecture. By announcing the deployment of weapons in space, the US is also giving the green light to its geopolitical adversaries to do the same. … Read full article
BEIJING – The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) advocates for a legally binding international document to prevent an arms race in space and supports the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence, SCO Secretary-General Nurlan Yermekbayev said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the 13th Xiangshan Forum in Beijing, Yermekbayev stated the importance of joint efforts within the framework of international treaties on arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation.
“The SCO advocates for a legally binding international document to prevent an arms race in space, opposes the militarization of the information and communication technology sphere, and supports the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence,” he said.
Yermekbayev added that “the SCO proceeds from the premise that it is inadmissible to ensure one’s own security at the expense of others’ security.”
The 13th Xiangshan Forum is being held in Beijing on September 15-17, with delegations from nearly 100 countries, including Russia, and international organizations taking part.
