BEIROET (ANP/RTR) - De Israëlische krijgsmacht (IDF) heeft zogenoemde evacuatiebevelen uitgevaardigd voor elf dorpen in Zuid-Libanon. Alle inwoners moeten vertrekken, omdat het leger zegt aanvallen uit te voeren op doelen van Hezbollah.

De dorpen liggen ten noorden van de 'veiligheidszone' die Israël heeft ingesteld in het zuiden van Libanon. Daar zijn Israëlische militairen actief en mogen inwoners niet terugkeren. Ook worden daar huizen en hele dorpen afgebroken. Volgens de IDF is dat nodig om te voorkomen dat Hezbollah dicht bij de Israëlische grens kan werken.

Officieel geldt een staakt-het-vuren in Libanon, maar Israël gaat door met luchtaanvallen. Volgens de IDF reageert het daarmee op schendingen van het bestand door Hezbollah. Dat zou ook gelden voor de evacuatiebevelen van zondag.

This buzzy quarter is best enjoyed on one of the many tree-lined terraces, eating gourmet wraps, sipping bio wine and listening to live jazz

Named for its 19th-century neoclassical church, Notre-Dame du Mont was once a site where sailors who’d survived shipwrecks and storms made offerings of thanks. Now locals and visitors make a pilgrimage to this vibrant quarter for its restaurants, indie shops and street art. Voted Time Out’s coolest neighbourhood in the world in 2024, Notre-Dame du Mont has retained its laid-back charm while continuing to grow, stretching south on Rue de Lodi. Since December 2025, the church’s parvis has been pedestrianised. Removing the urban roar of scooters has returned the quarter to its village-like ambience – best enjoyed on one of the many tree-lined terraces.

After subscribing to the Claude chatbot, mystery payments started to appear on one family’s credit card bill. They are not alone

David Duggan* was so impressed with the ability of the Claude chatbot to answer medical questions and organise family life, that a $20-a-month (£15) subscription seemed like money well spent.

But then his wife spotted two $200 payments on his credit card bill for gift cards to use the artificial intelligence tool.

Exclusive: Union body finds workers describing themselves as ‘gambling’ because wages felt like the outcome of chance rather than work

The practice of using “dynamic pricing” to set pay on gig economy platforms including Uber should be banned because it leaves workers at the mercy of shadowy algorithms with no certainty over their earnings, trade union leaders have urged.

In a report exposing the human cost of the gig economy practice, the Trades Union Congress said pay was becoming decoupled from time, skill or effort. Instead, work had become a speculative practice with the rewards determined by an algorithmic process with little transparency.

Cheshire villagers are letting lawns grow wild to improve diversity and reconnect with nature on their doorstep

Ian Waddington was crouched in his garden last summer, inspecting loose paving, when he lifted a slab and spotted something extraordinary: a tiny field mouse nestled in a hollow, feeding four babies – each half the size of his little finger. “It was astonishing. Like life in miniature,” he says.

After decades in the construction industry, the 86-year-old has found a new passion in retirement – nature. The discovery of the field mice made him realise his garden could be a thriving habitat for animal and plant life. This year, Waddington joined the No Mow May movement and allowed his garden grow wild through spring.
