4 h. ago In Gaza I saw the suffering of children and the heroism of health workers trying to save them | Thienminh Dinh

If our leaders allow this massacre to pass without consequence or condemnation, it will reveal a disturbing truth about what the world is willing to acceptGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastHeroism is no longer an abstract concept to me – it looks like Ali, who once spotted a quadcopter circling Al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza, where he’d dropped me off less than an hour earlier. When the first airstrike slammed into the building, Ali ran: not away from danger but towards it, risking his own safety for mine. That morning, as subsequent strikes rattled the walls around us and as I phoned my sister (“Tell Mum and Dad I love them heaps – just in case”), Ali remained by my side.Seldom in history have healthcare workers been called upon to risk their lives simply by reporting for duty.

5 h. ago England win dramatic shootout to beat Sweden and keep alive Euro 2025 hopes

The winner takes it all. England reached a sixth consecutive major tournament semi-final with a gut-busting performance to come from two goals down against Sweden before sealing victory via a penalty shootout with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton the hero.Kosovare Asllani’s early strike and Stina Blackstenius’s effort had rattled Sarina Wiegman’s side. It had been all Sweden, England were down and out, headed for the Euros exit, their crown relinquished, but you can never bet against Wiegman in a major tournament and, although many were screaming for changes to come sooner, it was her late cavalry that delivered two goals in 102 seconds to level the score and forced the game beyond 90 minutes. England became the first team to come from two goals down in the knockout stages of the women’s Euros since the tournament began in 1984 and Hampton was the superstar, emerging from Mary Earps’ shadow, saving two spot-kicks with Sweden missing three others.
