DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli troops battled Palestinian militants in a dense, urban refugee camp on Tuesday as they expanded operations across northern Gaza, where residents have been without electricity, water or access to humanitarian aid for weeks.The front line of the war, now in its seventh week, has shifted to the Jabaliya camp, a dense warren of concrete buildings near Gaza City that houses refugees from the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation and their descendants. Israel has been bombarding the area for weeks, and the military said Hamas fighters have regrouped there and in other eastern districts after being pushed out of much of Gaza City.Rear Adm.

It was not possible to independently confirm details of the fighting.Footage released by the military in recent days shows soldiers and tank...

Stock market today: Asian shares trading mixed after Wall Street rally led by Microsoft gains

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:03 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares traded mixed Tuesday after a rally on Wall Street that was led by gains in Microsoft following its announcement that it was hiring Sam Altman, former CEO of OpenAI, the ChatGPT maker. U.S. futures were higher while oil prices fell. Chinese markets were initially lifted by a report in the financial magazine Caixin that regulators had drafted a list of property developers that will be able to tap low-cost financing. The moves to facilitate more lending come as the real estate industry remains mired in a crisis brought on by a crackdown on excessive borrowing and worsened by a broad economic slowdown. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was little changed, erasing earlier gains, and was up less than 0.1% at 17,783.77, while the Shanghai Composite inched down less than 0.1% to 3,067.93. “Hopes continue to build that China’s unabating and deepening property slump … will catch a break, if not stage a turnaround; in particular, as Beijing steps up stimulus efforts to back...

Agriculture output: 19% value rise fuelled by price surge

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:03 GMT

In 2022, agricultural output in the EU was valued at €537.5 billion in basic prices, equivalent to an increase of 19% compared with 2021. This represented a new peak and continued the upward trend that started in 2010. The change in nominal value largely reflected the sharp rise in the nominal price for agricultural goods and services as a whole (an estimated +22.8%), with the volume of the output declining moderately from the 2021 level (an estimated 3.1% lower).This information comes from the economic accounts for agriculture (EAA) for 2022 published by Eurostat today. This news item presents a handful of findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article. Three quarters of the value of the EU’s agricultural output in 2022 came from seven EU countries: France (€97.1bn, equivalent to 18% of the EU total), Germany (€76.2bn, 14%), Italy (€71.5bn, 13%), Spain (€63bn, 12%), Poland (€39.5bn, 7%), the Netherlands (€36.1bn, 7%), and Romania (€22.2bn, 4%).All EU countries registe...
