Israel's Prime Minister and his Hungarian counterpart meet in Budapest on Thursday. Hungary announces its intention to leave the International Criminal Court. Netanyahu says ICC is "no longer an impartial court, not a court of law, but a political court" ADVERTISEMENT Hungary must send a written notification of its intention to withdraw to the UN secretary-general. The withdrawal will take effect within a year of the notification. South Korea's Constitutional Court unanimously voted to uphold the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol. Yoon acted dubiously by declaring martial law, but also violated the constitution. His removal triggers fresh presidential elections, which must be held within two months. The acting president, Han Duck-soo, will remain in office until South Koreans choose a new leader. Yoon faces separate criminal trial on charges of insurrection. His party says it accepts the court's decision. Lee Jae-myung is an early favourite to win by-election.

Ammar Mohammed strolled through the vibrant streets of a modern residential neighbourhood in northern Sanaa. The tall, slim man was expecting a delicious meal at a relative’s home. A deafening roar shattered the calm, a blinding orange flash turning everything into a terrifying artificial dawn. The al-Sharafi family had been killed in a raid ordered by United States President Donald Trump. Trump claimed he wanted to target Houthi fighters and military installations, to force them to stop attacking Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea. The US raids continued, and have killed at least 53 people, while nearly 100 others were wounded. 'My children were there moments ago, and suddenly I couldn’t see them,' mother says. "I staggered through the wreckage strewn across the street, the air was still full of dust. I was terrified. I screamed out their names... Nothing," mother tells al Jazeera. My kids haven’t been themselves since.” The boys keep asking if more bombs will fall on the neighbourhood. "I hug them, avoid answering the question... But I can’t get over the sight of the household whose children didn’t make it.”

He has not been allowed to participate in meetings of another regional organisation, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, since the army seized power in February 2021. Modi said cooperation on connectivity, capacity building and infrastructure development featured in their discussions. The military leader discussed disaster prevention, transnational crime and repatriation of those pulled out of scam centres.

AI Summary:
Yoon Suk Yeol was formally removed from office on Friday. The Constitutional Court upheld his impeachment over an ill-fated December decision to impose martial law. There have been coups, an assassination and a suicide. Chun Doo-hwan ruled as a military dictator but massive pro-democracy protests forced his government to accept a constitutional revision allowing direct presidential elections in 1987. After leaving office, Chun spent two years in exile at a remote Buddhist temple amid public demands for accountability for corruption and human rights abuses. In 1995 he was arrested for crimes including the coup that brought him to power and received a death sentence that was later commuted to life imprisoned before pardoned Kim's popularity nosedived as the late-1990s Asian financial crisis wreaked havoc on South Korea's economy. He pardoned Chun and Roh in December 1997, accepting a proposal from president-elect Kim Dae-jung as a gesture for national unity. Roh died by suicide in 2009, amid allegations that some of his family members took bribes during his presidency. Lee Myung-bak was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison for a range of crimes before and during his presidency.

AI Summary:
Louise Verity, 42, has been worried about the Trump tariffs since she first heard of them brewing in January. Her business, Bookishly, sells literary gifts to book lovers. More than 60 percent of her sales are to the United States. She expects big businesses to just pass on the extra costs to consumers. Australia-based economics professor Steven Hail said there is no grand plan which makes any kind of sense. The universal tariff was set to 10 percent – in line with expectations – but the tariffs imposed to main trade partners are much higher than that: 34 percent for China, 20 percent for Europe and some 24 percent on Japanese imports. In theory, countries can now negotiate with the US to lower their rates. A 20 percent tariff on all European goods is potentially devastating for many industries. This is unlikely, given that administration officials have intimated that negotiation will be possible. There is talk of governments needing to come to the aid of small businesses in particular, to protect jobs and wages.

A powerful explosion kills at least five people, including a pregnant woman and 1-year-old baby.

Bolivia's deputy interior minister says the suspected perpetrator of the attack was killed by the explosion.

Over the decades, cooperatives have increasingly fought over the chance to extract minerals.
