SPEAKING TO REPORTERS BLINKEN SAYS HUMANITARIAN PAUSE – Could Advance Prospect of Getting Hostages Released  Secretary of State Antony Blinken said U.S. officials were working to secure a humanitarian pause in Gaza that would advance several priorities including getting more aid into Palestinians and getting hostages held by Hamas released. Speaking to reporters after an unannounced stop in Baghdad, Blinken said there were now 100 trucks of aid moving into the besieged coastal enclave each day, but he added, “It’s grossly insufficient.” After a visit to the occupied West Bank earlier on Sunday, Blinken landed in Baghdad on his first…

FORMER PM BORIS JOHNSON AND SCOTT MORRISON VISIT KIBBUTZ – Stressed that antisemitism “simply cannot be tolerated”. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison visited Kibbutz Kfar Aza, which was devastated by Hamas militants in the October 7 attacks. Accompanied by Israeli soldiers and officials, Johnson and Morris walked into some of the houses burned during the attacks. Johnson said he believed that the attacks, which killed over 1,400 Israelis, might suggest that the memory of the Holocaust is “starting to fade” but stressed that antisemitism “simply cannot be tolerated”. Israeli forces continued on Sunday…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is refusing to recall Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, promoting the view that the inclusion of a previously-undisclosed DNA sequence that leaves behind fragments is not of concern. The FDA is not required to take Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, or other COVID-19 shots, off the market, an agency spokeswoman told The Epoch Times via email. “With over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to the sequence of, or amount of, residual DNA have been identified. With regard to the FDA-approved mRNA vaccines, available scientific evidence supports the conclusion that they…

US secretary of state Antony Blinken was due in Israel on Friday and was expected to call for localised pauses in fighting to allow aid into Gaza, as Israel’s military said it had surrounded the Palestinian enclave’s biggest city and was moving further into the centre and fighting in close quarters. As Blinken left Washington, he said he would discuss concrete steps to minimise harm to civilians in Gaza when he holds talks with Benjamin Netanyahu. It is his second meeting with Israel’s prime minister since the war began nearly a month ago, when Hamas militants killed 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians, and…

The most advanced technology companies will allow governments to vet their artificial intelligence tools for the first time, Rishi Sunak has announced, as Elon Musk warned the technology could eventually replace all human jobs. Companies including Meta, Google DeepMind and OpenAI have agreed to allow regulators to test their latest AI products before releasing them to the public, in a move that officials say will slow the race to develop systems that can compete with humans. Sunak made the announcement on Thursday after a two-day summit at Bletchley Park at which a diverse group including the world’s richest man, the vice-president of the US…

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will fight for the undisputed world heavyweight championship in Saudi Arabia early next year, Frank Warren, Fury’s promotor, has confirmed. The fight had been scheduled to take place on 23 December but Fury’s unexpectedly difficult bout with Francis Ngannou last weekend forced a postponement. There had been genuine concern that the IBF, one of the four main sanctioning bodies, would refuse to ratify the fight and insist that Usyk, as their champion, face the mandatory contender instead of Fury. But Warren said on Thursday that the IBF had agreed to the delay, on the proviso that it takes place…
