Calls grow for the release of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of a major Gaza hospital who has been held without charge and imprisoned by Israel since 2024.

Sikh community leaders tell @LisaatSky they raised concerns about Vickrum Digwa before he went on to kill Henry Nowak, but believe police didn't take warnings seriously enough. Hampshire police said they followed up all available lines of enquiry at the time of the complaint.

Often described as the most vilified community in Britain, Travellers say they're facing a fight for survival – struggling to find places to stay while keeping their culture alive. @LisaatSky gains rare access inside a community often sceptical of outsiders

NEW If the war in the Gulf isn't resolved the world economy will slide into recession, says the chief economist of the IMF. "It could get really bad... we're not there yet... but every day this situation continues we're drifting towards the adverse scenario - maybe worse." 👇

📽️ There have been many scary, unnerving days in this latest Gulf war. But the past 24 hours was particularly bad. Why? Because both sides are now causing lasting damage to the world economy's life support system. Our latest primer on the econ consequences of this war👇

Sky News visited Beit Awwa in the occupied West Bank, where shrapnel from a strike killed four women in a beauty salon, the first Palestinians killed in this war. Sky's international correspondent, @alexrossiSKY, met a survivor of the attack. trib.al/mVBRskJ

I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?
An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in central Beirut, on Wednesday. The Israeli army had warned residents to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it as day broke.

Last night Israel started playing with matches in a room stacked with gunpowder attacking Iran’s gasfield almost certainly with America’s blessing. Prompted swift retaliation from Iran vs Qatar and Saudi Arabia. = oil well over 100 dollars 1/
