As Kanangwa Newlove walked through her 10-acre farm just outside Lusaka, Zambia, one day in October 2025, she felt as if her dreams were withering away in front of her. The spinach, lettuce and mustard wilted in the heat. Tomatoes shriveled on their vines. She uprooted entire rows of organic vegetables – once sought-after by […]

Hebron was put under lockdown after senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declared their intent to forcibly displace Palestinians and destroy their homes, replicating the destruction of three refugee camps in the northern West Bank beginning in January 2025.
They were detained while harvesting alongside Palestinians in the West Bank. The mayor of Al Lubban Al Gharbi was also arrested.
On Friday, the Palestinian NGO International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said that 14 foreign activists face deportation from Israel after being arrested for harvesting olives alongside Palestinians in Al Lubban Al Gharbi, northwest of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
“The activists were detained inside a house in the town, far from the olive groves, and were subsequently transferred to the Israeli police station at the Ni’ilin checkpoint. They were questioned on suspicion of violating an order issued by a military commander by allegedly entering a closed military zone,” said ISM, an organization that promotes the use of nonviolent resistance in opposition to the Israeli occupation.
The activists, who come from Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Ireland and Sweden, are scheduled to appear at a hearing that could result in the revocation of their visas and their deportation.
During the Israeli operation against the activists, who “were not presented with any order declaring the area a military zone”, the mayor of Al Lubban Al Gharbi was also arrested. He was brutally beaten, threatened, and his carpentry workshop was damaged. He was also warned not to bring activists back to the area.

Al Lubban Al Gharbi is located in an area of the West Bank where brutal violence by Israeli settlers, settlement expansion, land confiscation and restrictions on freedom of movement have progressively reduced Palestinians’ access to their agricultural land.
During the 2025 olive harvest, the International Solidarity Movement had already documented numerous incidents involving Israeli settlers and soldiers using live ammunition and tear gas in the area.
Settler violence against Palestinians has surged in the West Bank over the past four years under the far-right government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The olive harvest season has become a particularly brutal period not only for farmers but also for foreign journalists and even diplomats, who were likewise assaulted weeks ago by groups of Jewish extremists amid the Israeli army’s inaction.
Costco really has it all. From bulk groceries and electronics to household goods, specialty services and even LeBron James’ game-worn shoes.
Yes, you read that correctly. Costco is selling an autographed pair of James’ game-worn shoes from March 22, 2024, for $69,999.99. For anyone who happens to have an extra $70,000 lying around, the shoes are hand-signed by the NBA legend himself and inscribed with "Prime Year 21."
According to Costco’s website, the shoes are authenticated with FanSecure Technology and come with a letter from sports investors showing a photo-match.
On March 22, 2024, James and Anthony Davis led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 101-94 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers with a fourth-quarter surge. James scored 20 points with eight rebounds and six assists in the win.
However, if you don’t have $70,000 in your back pocket for James’ game-worn sneakers, have no fear. Costco also has Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game-worn sneakers available for purchase for just $9,999.99.
Antetokounmpo wore the shoes as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks on Aug. 31, 2020, when the NBA was playing in the bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic. The shoes are autographed by Antetokounmpo and have "2019-20 GAME WORN, THE BUBBLE" inscribed on them.
Now, if you don’t have an extra $10,000 lying around and you were desperately hoping to purchase game-worn shoes from NBA stars on Costco’s website, you are out of luck. Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum’s game-worn sneakers were also available for $3,199.99, but someone already swooped in and ordered them.
Tatum wore the sneakers on March 28, 2023, and signed them. The sneakers also featured his son’s name, Deuce, on the back of each shoe, accompanied by a heart.
Costco provides quality goods and services, with a splash of game-worn shoes from NBA stars thrown into the mix.
The Kyiv Independent’s new documentary investigates anti-Ukrainian aggression in Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland, the countries that have taken in the largest numbers of Ukrainian refugees since Feb. 24, 2022.
Warsaw police have arrested a man suspected of stabbing two Ukrainians on a bus over their nationality, police said. A court ordered him held in custody, and the charges he faces carry long prison terms.
Russia's full-scale war drove nearly a million Ukrainians to seek protection in Poland, and attacks on them for their nationality grew this year. Polish police received 180 reports of hate crimes against Ukrainians in the first half of 2026, over 30% more than a year earlier.
Police tracked the suspect to a forest
The attack took place on a Warsaw city bus in mid-October. The attacker stabbed and slashed two passengers, both Ukrainian citizens, and fled before police arrived. Both victims went to hospital with multiple stab and cut wounds. Police found that he attacked them because of their nationality.
Officers quickly identified the suspect but spent days locating him. The 30-year-old was hiding and living in a forest in Warsaw's northern Bielany district, where police detained him last weekend.

He faces three charges. Two concern the bus attack: attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, and causing injuries lasting more than seven days. The third covers threats against another man at a Warsaw venue in August 2024.
Police said he acted as a repeat offender, within five years of serving a prison term for a similar crime. The charges carry three to 20 years in prison. At prosecutors' request, a court ordered him held for three months.
This year's attacks on Ukrainians in Poland
In early August, Ukraine's ambassador to Poland, Vasyl Bodnar, said anti-Ukrainian remarks and attacks had risen by about 30%. Days later, people rallied in 22 Polish cities against violence toward Ukrainians and other minorities.

Other recent cases this year include:
In late July, police in Wrocław detained two of three men suspected of beating a young Ukrainian couple.
On 14 August, a woman allegedly attacked a Ukrainian girl and her younger brother in a Bydgoszcz park after hearing them speak Ukrainian. Prosecutors charged her four days later.
In September, a man punched a 20-year-old Ukrainian tourist in the head at a crossing in central Warsaw, knocking him unconscious. Police detained the attacker, who gave no motive.
Tensions rose again in late September, when a Ukrainian man allegedly killed a priest in a knife attack at a monastery in Jarosław. Bodnar said some Polish politicians and journalists used it to argue for deporting Ukrainians.
Meanwhile, police in southwestern Poland detained a Russian citizen suspected of spying, after catching him photographing trains and railway infrastructure. Russia's suspected sabotage campaign keeps reaching Poland and the rest of Europe, and Ukraine's intelligence warned last week that Russia may stage sabotage in Eastern Europe and try to pin it on Kyiv.
