The Russian embassy in London has warned citizens traveling to Britain that they may face possible provocations, such as the "insertion of foreign objects" into their luggage, seizure of electronic equipment, and even detention.

The warning reflects "the anti-Russian policy, the growing threatening rhetoric of the British side [and] selective actions of the UK government against Russian individuals and legal entities," the embassy said in a statement on Saturday.

Russian citizens must keep an eye on their bags to avoid intrusion, such as the "insertion of foreign objects" into their luggage, the embassy warned in the statement. British authorities may detain Russian nationals under "far-fetched pretexts," seize their passports, or conduct interrogations and searches, the embassy added, advising citizens to record any dispute with UK officials, if possible.

A 45-year-old Palestinian farmer who was gathering food for his sheep was violently assaulted by settlers from a nearby outpost who regularly launch attacks on villagers, entering their homes and beating them

The corridor near the entrance to the operating room, on the third floor of Princess Alia Hospital in Hebron, just after 1 P.M. on Monday. About a dozen family members are sitting on a bench, waiting for their loved one to emerge from surgery that had begun some four hours beforehand. Finally the door opens. An orderly pushes a hospital bed toward the elevator and from there to room 7 in the surgical ward one floor down.

Jumaa Rabai, 45, is lying on the bed, eyes half-shut, still groggy from the anesthetic, an IV attached to his arm. Gray-haired and bearded, dressed in a white hospital robe, he's covered with a blue synthetic blanket. Occasionally he mumbles something to the family members gathered around his bed - among them his firstborn son, Raafat, 21, and his youngest child, a 7-month-old daughter in the arms of her mother, Saria, 40. The couple have eight children.

UK government has 'lost track' of over 600K foreign non-EU visitors

As of August 2017, there were records of 10 million people whose period to remain in the UK had expired in the previous two years, and that by the end of March 2017, the Home Office had made no effort to contact the some 500,000 non-visa visitors to ascertain if they were still in the country.

The Home Office lost track of 601,222 foreign, non-European Union visitors in two years who should have left the UK.

A report by the chief inspector of the borders and immigration watchdog David Bolt found that the Home Office's short-lived Exit Check Programme and ensuing exit checking procedures resulted in no record of the exits of half a million non-visa holding visitors including from Argentina and Brazil and 88,000 foreign citizens whose short-term visas had expired.

The report also found that as of August 2017, there were records of 10 million people whose period to remain in the UK had expired in the previous two years, and that by the end of March 2017, the Home Office had made no effort to contact the some 500,000 non-visa visitors to ascertain if they were still in the country.

However, the department wasted resources in chasing 30,000 Chinese citizens - regarded as "low risk" of overstaying - the majority of who had returned to their home country but whose departures had not been logged on the system.

There was also a 201,301-person "unmatched pot" of foreign exits for whom there is no corresponding entry data in the Exit Check Programme, which ran from April 2014 until 31 May 2016 when it was formally closed.

For the first time in 70 years, Palestinian refugees allowed to return to their villages...but only for a few hours

In a rush, Hawwa al-Khawaja and her daughter Khawla stepped off a bus as it pulled over at the entrance of what was once the village they called home.

The elder Khawaja stood there greeting others who had arrived on the buses that followed, just as she used to greet her village's visitors as a young woman before 1948.

"Welcome, welcome to al-Thahiryeh," the 90-year-old said. "We apologise for not having a home to welcome you in."

Since 1948, there have been no homes or residents in the destroyed village of al-Thahiryeh, which lies southeast of the city of al-Lydd.

That year, Zionist forces pushed out Palestinian families living in the village, before destroying every inch of it.

Al-Thahiryeh was one of 500 villages that faced the same fate in what became known as the ethnic cleansing of at least 800,000 Palestinians.

On Wednesday, Hawwa al-Khawaja returned to al-Thahiryeh for the first time, but only for a few hours.

Nearly 3,000 firms owned by foreign investors, including European businesses, are currently working in Crimea, according to the head of the Russian region, Sergey Aksenov.

The firms registered on the peninsula sealed 66 deals worth more than 68 billion rubles (US$1.19 billion). The official stressed that half of those projects are currently being implemented.

Since the reunification with Russia in March 2014, over 180 investment agreements worth a total 190 billion rubles ($3.31 billion) have been signed in the republic. The projects will reportedly create more than 15,000 local jobs.

Palestinian refugees attending mass protests near Gaza's border with Israel call for a return to their lands.

In the early hours of Friday, 85-year-old Umm Khattab Dolah and her grandsons headed towards Gaza's eastern border with Israel.

Once there, they joined masses of Palestinians who set up tents along the border, looking out at the other side, where the Israeli army was deployed.

At least 70 percent of the two million people in the Gaza Strip live in refugee camps just a few kilometres away from their original homes and villages across the border, where Zionist armed groups forcibly displaced them seven decades earlier.

Long-serving Kemerovo governor resigns after mall fire tragedy, calling protesters 'troublmakers'

The governor of Russia's Kemerovo region, Aman Tuleyev, has resigned in the wake of a tragic fire in a local mall, in which 64 people, most of them children, died.

Tuleyev, who has served as the regional governor since 1997, having been re-elected four times, has handed in his resignation to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the regional administration's press service has said. His current term was due to expire in 2020.

Speaking about his resignation, Tuleyev said that he believes it is the only right decision. "I believe it's the right, sensible, the only correct decision, because it's impossible, morally impossible to hold a governor's post with such a heavy burden,"he said in a video address.

"I have done everything I could," Tuleyev said. "I have met the families of the deceased, I have tried to settle the matter of aid. Again, I offer my deep apologies. But we have to live on. Live to keep the memories of those we've lost."

Deaton wore a shirt to the protest that read, "my rights don't end where your feelings begin."

The diverse group of students played the national anthem and "God Bless America" before giving speeches about the importance of our Constitutional rights.
