00:30Israel struck a hospital in northern Gaza after forcing patients to evacuate as attacks intensified across the Strip.
00:40One patient died during the evacuation of the Al-Ali hospital in Gaza City because medical staffs were unable to provide urgent care following the pre-dawn strike.
00:52The health facilities director said they were warned of the attack before it was struck.
00:58Local health authorities report that the strike destroyed the ward for outpatients and laboratories and damaged the emergency ward.
01:07Israel has carried out an open campaign on hospitals in the Gaza Strip, while accusing Hamas of using them as cover for its fighters.
01:15The attack came hours after the Israeli defense minister said military activity would rapidly expand across Gaza and that people would need to evacuate from fighting zones.
01:27U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has announced that smartphones and computers have been excluded from Trump's global reciprocal tariffs.
01:39The exemption also applies to the 145% tariffs imposed on Chinese imports and includes other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells and memory cards.
01:55This was shared in a notice by U.S. Customs and Border Protection The tariffs would have a major impact on American tech giants like Apple, which has 90% of its iPhone production and assembly based in China.
02:09The Trump administration has said that the goal of their tariffs is to encourage more domestic manufacturing.
02:17But the exemptions seem to acknowledge that the current electronic supply chain is virtually all in Asia and it will be challenging to shift that to the U.S.
02:26Russia and Ukraine's foreign ministers traded blows accusing each other's countries of violating a U.S.-brokered limited ceasefire.
02:40Sergei Lavrov and his Ukrainian counterpart Andrey Sebiha have both accused each other of targeting energy sites in recent weeks.
02:48The blows were traded as the two top diplomats spoke at separate panels at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Turkey.
02:54Lavrov says that the Kremlin has stuck to its word and not targeted any Ukrainian energy facilities since the 18th of March, when Putin agreed to a partial truce in a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.
03:07He added that Ukraine have attacked Russian energy infrastructure almost daily, noting that Moscow had compiled a list of targeted sites and shared it with the U.S., the U.N. and Turkey.
03:19Sebiha contested Lavrov's claims and accused Moscow of not being serious about peace.
03:25The Ukrainian top diplomat said that in the past few weeks, Russia had launched almost 70 missiles, over 2,000 drones, and 6,000 guided bombs targeting mostly civilian areas.
03:36Tens of thousands of conservative Poles traveled from all over the country to participate in a rally in Warsaw.
03:46The rally was held to commemorate the millennium anniversary of the coronation of the country's first king.
03:52They danced the Polonaise in historic costumes, sang the national anthem, and chanted slogans in support of a conservative candidate running in next month's presidential election.
04:02The march was supported by the Law and Justice Party, whose candidate Karol Navrotsky is up against liberal candidate Warsaw Mayor Rafael Traskovsky.
04:11Organizers say 100,000 people participated in the rally, while City Hall, run by Traskovsky, places attendance at 20,000.
04:20The rally comes as the Law and Justice Party look to drum up support for Navrotsky, who's been trailing behind in the polls.
04:27Frontrunner Traskovsky has led the polls so far, projected to win around 30% of the vote, while Navrotsky is at just over 20%.
04:35The presidential election is set to take place on the 18th of May.
04:40If no candidate surpasses the required 50% threshold, a runoff is scheduled a fortnight later between the top two candidates.
