S6

B’Tselem calls for immediate action to stop Israeli violence in the West Bank B'Tselem called on the international community to take immediate action to stop Israel's violence and prevent pogroms by settler militias and the Israeli army across the West Bank, as settlers killed at least four Palestinians on Friday. The rights group said in recent days, violence by settler militias, enabled and supported by the Israeli army, has escalated across the West Bank, including the torching and destruction of Palestinian property, and the forced expulsion of families and communities. "These attacks have been met with silence and inaction from much of the international community, allowing the violence to continue and intensify," the group said in a statement on X. "Experience shows that these events can escalate quickly into mass pogroms when met with silence. We call the international community to act now," it added, saying that immediate pressure must be placed on Israel to stop further attacks, prevent pogroms and further killings. Urgent call to the international community to take immediate action to stop Israel's violence and prevent pogroms by settler militias and the Israeli army across the West Bank.

US hits network of Iranian financier Zanjani with more sanctions

US hits network of Iranian financier Zanjani with more sanctions The United States on Friday announced further sanctions against nine firms and four people associated with sanctioned Iranian financier Babak Zanjani for their efforts to evade US sanctions, as US forces escalated their strikes across the Islamic Republic. The US Treasury Department said the new designations target Zanjani's Iran-based operations under his "Dot One" conglomerate and several firms based in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates that have supported his already designated digital asset exchanges, as well as top executives at those firms. The Treasury Department said Zanjani had leveraged a diverse portfolio that includes financial services, digital asset trading and gold and precious gem production, along with major infrastructure projects, to launder revenue and move funds covertly for Iran. “The Iranian regime continues to pay a steep economic price for its reckless behavior, with the rial plunging to another record low and inflation up massively,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. "Treasury will continue cutting off economic access for corrupt Iranian regime elites, along with their financiers and facilitators.” Iran's currency has hit new lows in recent weeks amid demand for foreign currencies, with the resurgence of military hostilities ratcheting up pressure on Iran's economy, which is already grappling with 60 percent-plus inflation and negative growth.

Many drivers also unhappy with new regulations ‘F1’s gone too heavily led by the fact it’s a business’ Lando Norris has delivered a scathing critique of Formula One and its management for prioritising making money over sporting considerations when forming the sport’s new regulations.

Norris is among many drivers who have been clear this season he is unhappy with the new regulations, their focus on energy management and how it has affected negatively their enjoyment of driving.
