By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Eli Berlzon GAZA-ISRAEL BORDER (Reuters) - Israel and Gaza militant groups agreed a ceasefire on Saturday, a Palestinian official said, after Israel launched dozens of air strikes against the Palestinian enclave's ruling Hamas group and gunmen fired more than 100 rockets across the border. Palestinian health officials said earlier that two teenagers had been killed by one air strike in what was one of the worst flare-ups since the 2014 Israel-Gaza war. A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not respond to a request for comment. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2KT8uJw via Latest News

British police said Friday they have found a "small bottle" containing the Soviet-made nerve agent Novichok in the home of one of two Britons who fell ill from the substance last month. "On Wednesday, 11 July, a small bottle was recovered during searches of Charlie Rowley's house in Amesbury," police said in a statement, four months after a former Russian spy and his daughter were poisoned with the same substance. "Scientists have now confirmed to us that the substance contained within the bottle is Novichok," the statement said, adding that the test were carried out at the Porton Down defence laboratory which first identified the substance. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2KXMGMT via Latest News

By Panu Wongcha-um and James Pearson MAE SAI, Thailand (Reuters) - On the Thai side of the mountainous border with Myanmar, where 12 boys and their football coach were rescued from a flooded cave last week, thousands of stateless people live trapped between countries with no access to some basic rights. All of the boys and their 25-year-old coach, who make up the 'Wild Boars' soccer team, will be discharged from hospital next week following a three-day rescue that evoked international relief and joy. Although the Wild Boars are now viewed in this Southeast Asian country as national treasures, four of them are technically stateless. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2L9an4h via Latest News

Port-au-Prince (AFP) - Lawmakers in Haiti will vote Saturday on the fate of embattled Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant, who has refused to resign in the wake of deadly looting and violence sparked by a now-abandoned plan to raise fuel prices. "People of Haiti! I have a date with history in Parliament on Saturday, July 14 at 10 am, to respond to opposition deputies and speak about the achievements of the government," Lafontant said Friday on Twitter.

Brett Kavanaugh is bland.  Trump's pick to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has been condemned as an "enemy of the left," who will herald a Handmaid's Tale -type era of conservatism. A Yale publication found that he also had abhorrent eating habits in law school.  SEE ALSO: Trump's SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh looks exactly like Glenn from 'Superstore' Aside from being named Brett, one of the blandest possible names you could choose for an innocent baby, Kavanaugh apparently had the palate of a human-shaped blob of unseasoned mashed potatoes while in college.

It's time to tally the votes from last week's poll results about the ideal secondary cameras on the back. What you prefer to have on your modern smartphones and how the trend has changed over the course of the year since we asked the same question last. We see a close battle between two sensors, but this time around, monochrome has fallen out of fashion. It's clear that OEMs can achieve excellent low-light performance without needing a monochrome sensor so it was understandably lost popularity. This probably also explains why the "advanced sensor" option was so popular. Even the... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Jpzue9 via IFTTT
