The US has proposed three pilot zones in southern Lebanon—Zawtar al-Gharbiya, Froun and Srifa—as an initial step towards Israel's phased military withdrawal. Lebanese troops have begun deploying to Zawtar al-Gharbiya, clearing roads and removing unexploded ordnance left by Israeli forces. Despite a ceasefire agreement, Israel still occupies roughly 6% of southern Lebanon, where months of fighting have damaged or destroyed numerous villages and displaced hundreds of thousands. The initiative i

Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has planted the national flag in Zawtar al-Gharbiya, marking a symbolic return of state authority a day after Israeli forces withdrew from the southern town, one of three designated "pilot zones". Residents remain sceptical, with many stopped at an army checkpoint and told they cannot return home until landmines are cleared. Some houses were demolished just before the Israeli withdrawal, deepening mistrust among locals who say the agreement offers little real

While wildfires are a natural phenomenon that can help some forests, grasslands and wildlife regenerate, scientists say climate change is making many fires more disruptive and harder to contain.

Rescue teams in Colombia are working round the clock to find survivors, two days after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake. But some regions are ill-equipped for a disaster of this scale. Manuel Rueda reports from Cali.

The recent earthquake in Colombia will be a major political test for new President Abelardo de la Espriella, who has declared an economic emergency and promised an emergency fund to rebuild schools, hospitals and homes. Reconstruction is expected to cost around $9.6 billion, putting pressure on an economy already facing a deficit of 7 to 8 percent of GDP, according to the Finance Minister. De la Espriella has asked US President Donald Trump to suspend tariffs, which rose from 10 to 12.5 percent
