 Palestinians examine the remains of bulldozers hit by an Israeli army airstrike in Jabaliya, northern Gaza Strip, April 22, 2025

ISRAELI air strikes on the Gaza Strip have killed at least 14 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and also destroyed bulldozers and other heavy equipment that had been supplied by mediators to clear rubble.

Israel’s 18-month offensive against Hamas has destroyed vast areas of Gaza and the territory already had a shortage of heavy equipment to rescue people from the rubble left by Israeli strikes and to clear vital roads.

A local council in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza said a strike had destroyed nine bulldozers provided by Egypt and Qatar, which helped broker the ceasefire that took hold in January. Israel ended the truce last month, renewing its bombardment and ground operations and sealing Gaza’s two million Palestinians off from all deliveries of essentials such as food, fuel and medical supplies.The strikes also destroyed a water tanker and a mobile generator provided by aid groups, along with a lorry used to pump sewage, the Jabaliya al-Nazla municipality said.

Government accused of scapegoating ethnic minorities after Home Office reveals plan to publish the nationalities of foreign criminals

LABOUR was accused of scapegoating ethnic minorities after the Home Office revealed it will publish the nationalities of foreign criminals for the first time today.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has ordered officials to publish the data including the crimes that have been committed by the end of the year.

The move is expected to lead to “league tables” of foreign nationals showing which nationalities are more associated with particular crimes.It is the latest hard-line anti-immigration policy announced by the Home Office in recent weeks as Labour faces potential humiliation at the hands of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party in next week’s local elections. Today MPs and migrant charities accused Ms Cooper of pandering to racism and stoking the possibility of riots.

LABOUR faced calls to focus its efforts on peace-building today after it emerged Britain is set to ramp up weapons production. 

British war profiteer BAE Systems is erecting shipping container units across the country to produce RDX explosives, used in 155mm artillery rounds. 

The rounds are among the ammunition that Britain has supplied to Ukraine.Each shipping container will produce up to 100 tonnes each year, according to a Times report.BAE Systems’ Maritime and Land Defence Solutions business development director Steve Cardew told the paper: “The whole challenge for our industry is around production scale-up and creating enough industrial capacity to effectively match Russia and other hostile nations.”According to the report, BAE’s production of 155mm rounds will have increased 16-fold over the last two years once its explosives filling facility at Glascoed becomes operational this summer.

 Youth demand activists on April 14, 2024

YOUTH DEMAND swarmed London on Saturday to demand a trade embargo on Israel and taxes on the super-rich to pay climate reparations.

Sixty-three activists split into two groups and disrupted traffic across the capital including at Aldgate East station, High Holborn, London Bridge and Oxford Circus.

Both teams then converged on Waterloo Bridge where they remained for half an hour, before two supporters were arrested under breach of Section 7 of the Public Order Act.A Youth Demand spokesperson said: “Since October 7 2023, more than 10 children in Gaza have lost one or both of their legs each day since Israel began indiscriminately murdering civilians. “The operations to save these children’s lives are often carried out without anaesthetic due to the ongoing blockade of food and medical supplies being prevented from entering Gaza. “The UK is providing the weapons and logistical support that are being used to blow these children’s limbs off. “What sort of ‘decent’ and ‘respectable’ society allows this to happen in 2025?? We need a total trade embargo with Israel right now!”

Sources says government is ‘not going to find a way’ to ditch cap despite predictions that child poverty levels will soar

Ministers are privately ruling out scrapping the two-child benefit cap despite warnings from charities that a failure to do so could result in the highest levels of child poverty since records began.

Government sources said charities and Labour MPs who were concerned that wider benefit cuts would push more families into poverty should “read the tea leaves” over Labour’s plans.

“If they still think we’re going to scrap the cap then they’re listening to the wrong people. We’re simply not going to find a way to do that. The cap is popular with key voters, who see it as a matter of fairness,” one source said.

In a letter to Keir Starmer on Tuesday, groups including Barnardo’s, Save the Children UK and Citizens Advice said scrapping the two-child benefit limit would be the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty.

In their letter to Starmer, they said: “Scrapping the two-child limit is by far the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty. It would lift 350,000 children out of poverty overnight and result in 700,000 children living in less deep poverty.

“If it is not scrapped, the stark reality is that child poverty will be significantly higher at the end of this parliament than when the government took office, making this the first time a Labour government would leave such a legacy.”
