Israeli troops kill Palestinian at Gaza border protest, ceasefire efforts continue

Posted: 03 Aug 2018 03:20 PM PDT

Israeli troops kill Palestinian at Gaza border protest, ceasefire efforts continueBy Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian and wounded at least 220 others at protests along the Gaza border on Friday, Gaza health officials said, as diplomats sought to secure a durable ceasefire deal. Over four months of weekly Friday border protests that began on March 30 have reduced in intensity lately but organizers have vowed they would continue until Israel lifts economic sanctions on the coastal enclave. The Israeli military said troops had responded with "riot dispersal means" and had operated "according to standard operating procedures," a term that refers to the use of accurate live fire, after some Gazans broke through the border fence and attacked troops with firebombs and an explosive device.

Prince Harry's former car can be yours for a mere £71KWho wouldn't want to own a vehicle that Harry and Meghan have driven around in?  And for a mere £71K ($92K), you can be the proud owner of the Duke of Sussex's former Audi RS6 Avant. Bargain! SEE ALSO: People are baffled by the number of water bottles Harry and Meghan were given in Ireland Harry "only owned the Audi RS6 for a year," according to Auto Trader, which is selling the car. Harry reportedly drove Meghan to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception in the car back in May 2017.  Image: autotraderFor those who have a bit of spare dosh lying around, the car also happens to have only racked up 4,500 miles. It also features £11,330 ($14,728) worth of extras, like privacy glass and a panoramic sunroof. Fancy! "Prince Harry and Meghan tied the knot less than six months ago and now Harry is putting his 17 reg, low mileage Audi up for sale — you can't help but wonder if it's because he is in the market for something bigger," Erin Baker, Auto Trader's editorial director, told Mashable. "Are we about to hear the pitter patter of tiny, royal feet?" Better start saving those pennies, people!

U.S. wants help finding parents deported without their children

U.S. wants help finding parents deported without their childrenThe U.S. government told a federal court judge on Thursday that volunteers and non-profit groups, rather than government officials, should take the lead in locating more than 400 immigrant parents who were separated from their children at the U.S.-Mexico border and deported from the United States. In the case, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, Judge Dana Sabraw ordered the government to reunify the families by July 26, but that deadline was not fully met. While more than 1,900 children have been reunited with their families, or seen their cases resolved in other ways, hundreds remain separated, including the children of more than 400 parents no longer in the United States, according to the government's latest filing.
