AI Summary:
\ Trump has already imposed a 20 percent tariff on Chinese imports, citing Beijing’s failure to curb the export of the deadly opioid fentanyl to the US. The tariff comes on top of previous duties imposed by Trump and Joe Biden on more than $400bn worth of Chinese goods. Beijing hit back last week by announcing tariffs of 10-15 percent on numerous US agricultural goods, including corn, beef, pork, dairy and soybeans. During the last trade war, Trump directed his focus solely on China, but since returning to office he has set his sights on other countries, too, including Mexico and Canada. In the span of about a month, Trump rolled out tariffs on goods worth $1.4 trillion. It is unclear to what extent Trump’s tariffs will stick.

AI Summary:
\ Mahmoud Khalil, a student activist at Columbia University, was detained at his university housing. He was a prominent figure in protests against Israel’s war in Gaza at the Ivy League university. "Many are not students, they are paid agitators," Trump wrote in a social media post. Free speech groups point out that the Department of Homeland Security accused Khalil of leading "activities aligned with Hamas" analysts note that the department’s allegation falls short of more tangible claims. US law prohibits anyone in the country's jurisdiction from providing "material support" to terrorist organisations. The rationale provided for Khalil’s arrest, experts argue, was overly broad. Project 2025 is a controversial series of policy proposals for Trump's second term. Khalil has reportedly been moved to a detention centre in Louisiana. "This is a tactic that ICE loves to use," says Nathan-Pineau. Palestinian rights advoca

AI Summary:
\ An explosives-filled trailer that Australian politicians described as an antisemitic terrorism plot was staged by criminals in a complicated hoax. Police say it was never meant to be detonated. The cluster of attacks targeting places where Jewish people live, work and study were committed by a very small group. A trailer was found in January outside Sydney, packed with explosives used in the mining industry. The trailer was easily found and the explosives were visibly displayed, police say. But investigators said they “almost immediately” believed that the trailer’s appearance was “part of a fabricated terrorist plot, essentially a criminal con job”. The 14 people arrested Monday face charges in relation to the more than a dozen attacks investigators believe were orchestrated. The strange twist caps a summer where antisemitic crimes roiled Sydney and Melbourne, home to 85% of A

\ More than 100,000 people were killed in a single night 80 years ago in the U.S. Firebombing of Tokyo. The attack, made with conventional bombs, destroyed downtown Tokyo and filled the streets with heaps of charred bodies. Elderly survivors are making a last-ditch effort to tell their stories and push for financial assistance. The death toll exceeds those killed in the Aug. 9, 1945, atomic bombing of Nagasaki. But the Japanese firebombing has been largely eclipsed by the two bombings. The bombing came after the collapse of Japanese air and naval defenses following the U.S. Capture of a string of former Japanese strongholds in the Pacific. Postwar governments have provided 60 trillion yen ($405 billion) in welfare support for military veterans and bereaved families. Civilian victims of the U.S. Firebombings received nothing.

AI Summary:
\ An ambush on a security patrol by gunmen loyal to ousted leader Bashar Assad escalated into clashes that a war monitor estimates have killed more than 1,000 people over four days. The attack near the port city of Latakia reopened the wounds of the country’s 13-year civil war and sparked the worst violence Syria has seen since December. Rights groups reported dozens of revenge killings resulting from Sunni militants targeting the minority Islamic sect. Rights groups estimate that hundreds of civilians were killed. The Alawite sect once formed the core constituency of Assad's government in the Sunni-majority country. As the civil war intensified, militant groups emerged across the country and treated Alawites as affiliates. Damascus blamed “individual actions” for the widespread violence against civilians. Al-Sharaa has lobbied to convince the United States and Europe to lift sanctions.

\ Trudeau served in his post for almost a decade, assuming the top job on 4 November, 2015. He resigned from his post on 6 January after months of domestic problems which saw his popularity plummet. The declining economic conditions and the country’s direction resulted in dismal polls for Trudeaux, who fell in popularity by a significant two digit margin to his main rival Pierre Poilievre. A general election must be held on or before 20 October. Either the new Liberal party leader will call one, or the opposition parties in Parliament could force one with a no-confidence vote later this month.
