The foreign ministers of Germany, France, and Britain have urgently called for an "immediate return" to a ceasefire in Gaza as Israel intensifies its military offensive in the region. This renewed assault, which began on Tuesday, has ended a period of relative calm following a ceasefire established on January 19. In a joint statement, the ministers expressed their dismay at the rising civilian casualties, stating, "The resumption of Israeli strikes in Gaza marks a dramatic step backward." Their appeal followed Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz's threats to annex parts of Gaza if Hamas fails to release remaining Israeli hostages. The ministers urged all parties to re-engage in negotiations to ensure a lasting ceasefire, emphasizing that Hamas must release the hostages and cease to govern Gaza or pose a threat to Israel. They also called on Israel to adhere to international law and facilitate humanitarian aid to the territory.

Mar 22 2025, 5 ameznews.inA US airstrike on a residential building in Sanaa, the Houthi-held capital of Yemen, resulted in at least one death and 15 injuries, including three children and two women, according to Houthi-run al-Masirah TV. The strike, described by local residents as "very violent," occurred in the Asr suburb, with rescue teams still searching for survivors under the debris. The US military has not yet commented on the incident. Earlier, US forces conducted airstrikes in Yemen's northern province of Saada, targeting Houthi strongholds, following claims by the Houthis of attacks on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier and Ben Gurion airport in Israel. These military actions are part of an ongoing US campaign against Houthi positions, initiated in March, amid the group's vows to retaliate against perceived American aggression and to support Palestinians in Gaza. President Trump has justified the strikes as necessary to protect international shipping.

Mar 24 2025, 7 ameznews.inSridhar Vembu, founder of Zoho, has forecasted that artificial intelligence (AI) could handle up to 90% of programming tasks by automating repetitive "boilerplate" code. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Vembu emphasized the distinction between "essential complexity"—the core challenges of programming—and "accidental complexity," which largely consists of redundant code. He acknowledged AI's potential to streamline coding but stressed that human expertise is vital for addressing fundamental problems, questioning whether AI can identify entirely new patterns. Vembu, who stepped down as CEO in January to concentrate on research and development, joins other tech leaders, including OpenAI's Sam Altman, in warning that the rise of AI may lead to a reduced demand for software engineers. Altman noted that AI is already responsible for over half of the code written in many companies, suggesting a transformative shift in the tech workforce is on the horizon.

Mar 24 2025, 7 ameznews.inSouth Korea's Constitutional Court reinstated Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president on Monday, overturning his impeachment by lawmakers in December. Han, who assumed the role after President Yoon Suk Yeol was suspended for declaring martial law, faced impeachment over allegations related to this declaration and his refusal to appoint additional justices to the Constitutional Court. The court dismissed the impeachment motion in a decisive 7-1 vote, with two justices advocating for its outright rejection. Han's brief tenure as acting leader lasted less than two weeks, during which he clashed with an opposition-led parliament. His impeachment led to Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok temporarily taking over as acting president. The martial law declaration, which lasted only six hours due to parliamentary pushback, sparked significant political turmoil and raised concerns among international allies, including the United States. Han, a seasoned politician with a career spanning over three decades, denied any involvement in the martial law situation.

Mar 23 2025, 11 pmeznews.inISTANBUL: A Turkish court has ordered the detention of Istanbul's opposition mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, and around 90 co-defendants on corruption charges, a move the Republican People's Party (CHP) deems a "political coup" orchestrated by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Imamoglu, who rose to prominence after winning Istanbul's mayoral elections in 2019 and 2021, faces accusations of establishing a criminal organization, accepting bribes, and supporting a terrorist group linked to the pro-Kurdish party. His arrest, which coincided with his expected nomination for the CHP's presidential candidate for the 2028 elections, has ignited the largest protests in Turkey since 2013, drawing hundreds of thousands into the streets across 55 provinces. Analysts suggest that the demonstrations reflect broader discontent with the government, transcending Imamoglu's specific situation. The CHP continues to rally support, inviting all citizens to participate in its primary elections.
