Biden, Cyprus president discuss means for ceasefires in Gaza, Lebanon

President Joe Biden and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides on Wednesday discussed a new effort by the US administration and mediators in the Middle East to forge cease-fires to end fighting in Lebanon and Gaza. Christodoulides leads the European Union nation closest to Gaza. The small Mediterranean island nation has played a critical role in efforts to get humanitarian aid into Gaza since the war between Hamas and Israel began more than a year ago. He said that Biden and White House officials briefed him on the latest stepped-up efforts by the US administration and other mediators but declined to offer further details about the discussion. The most important priority that the international community has now is to have a cease-fire in the region, Christodoulides told reporters after his Oval Office talks with Biden.

Joe Biden to apologise for 150-year Indian boarding school policy today

President Joe Biden is expected to formally apologise on Friday for the country's role in the Indian boarding school system, which devastated the lives of generations of Indigenous children and their ancestors. I would never have guessed in a million years that something like this would happen, said Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna. It's a big deal to me. I'm sure it will be a big deal to all of Indian Country. Shortly after becoming the first Native American to lead the Interior, Haaland launched an investigation into the boarding school system, which found that at least 18,000 children, some as young as 4, were taken from their parents and forced to attend schools that sought to assimilate them, in an effort to dispossess their tribal nations of land. It also documented nearly 1,000 deaths and 74 gravesites associated with the more than 500 schools. No president has ever formally apologized for the forced removal of Native American, Alaska Nativ

Despite old age, Donald Trump refuses to share health details in public

If he wins next month's election, Donald Trump would be the oldest person in US history to be elected president. Yet the 78-year-old Republican nominee refuses to disclose new details about his physical or mental well-being, breaking decades of precedent. There have been limited snapshots of Trump's health over the last year. After he survived an attempted assassination in July, Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, a staunch supporter who served as his White House physician, wrote a memo describing a gunshot wound to Trump's right ear. And last November, Trump's personal physician, Dr Bruce Aronwald, wrote a letter describing him as being in excellent health with exceptional cognitive exams. He noted that cardiovascular studies are all normal and cancer screening tests were negative. Trump had also reduced his weight. But those communications didn't address more fundamental questions about Trump's health, including his blood pressure, exact weight or whether he has continued using previously .
