What is President Trump’s proposed cease‑fire plan for the Thailand‑Cambodia border conflict?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. President Trump says he is pushing for a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. More than thirty people have been killed so far in three days of fighting over a longstanding border dispute. Trump discussed the conflict with the leaders of both countries on Saturday and Piers Franco Ordonia's reports.
President Trump says he told the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia to stop the fighting. Which escalated this week. Trump is in Scotland for some personal time and political business. Taking to social media, he warned that the fighting could threaten Thailand and Cambodia from reaching a trade deal with the United States. He wrote, Quote, We don't want to make a deal with either country if they are fighting.
How is Israel implementing a tactical pause and aid airdrops in Gaza?
Each country has blamed the other for starting recent military attacks. There have been deaths on both sides of the border, and tens of thousands of civilians have fled the area. Franco, Ordon yas, NPR News, Glasgow.
The Israeli military says it's beginning what he calls a tactical pause in fighting in three areas of Gaza. The pause will be from ten AM to eight P.M. local time each day until further notice. Israel also says it will begin airdrops of aid into the region. Chanel Lo of the Norwegian Refugee Council says that's still not enough because the need for food and other supplies is so great.
Conditions there are simply indescribable.
Why are humanitarian groups urging an end to the Gaza blockade?
Our colleagues themselves are going hungry, they are starving. They are frankly at a loss for words after twenty-one months of pleading with the world to do something and now facing starvation themselves and seeing the widespread impacts across Gaza.
More than one hundred international humanitarian groups have signed a statement calling for Israel to end its blockade of Gaza. Smoke from Canadian wildfires has made Montreal the most polluted city in the world. Emma Jacobs has more.
The worst air ranking comes from IQ Air, an air quality monitoring site. Environment Canada warned Montreal area residents to limit exercise and time spent outdoors. While the sky has had a visible yellow cast, the most dangerous health hazards are too small to see. Tiny particulate matter from wildfire smoke can cause respiratory symptoms, especially for those with asthma and other health conditions.
What health risks does the Canadian wildfire smoke pose to Montreal residents?
Scientists say climate change has created ideal conditions for intense fires to burn in Canada's massive boreal forests for several years. This summer, wildfire smoke has led to air quality alerts across Canada and in many US states. For NPR News, I'm Emma Jacobs in Montreal.
