Gaza Humanitarian Foundation halts limited supply of food distribution after at least 27 killed by Israeli fire as they waited for food
Iran’s supreme leader on Wednesday criticised an initial proposal from the United States in negotiations over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear programme, though he stopped short of entirely rejecting the idea of agreement with Washington.
According to the Associated Press (AP), Ayatollah Ali Khamenei described the US proposal as “100% against the idea of ‘we can’”, borrowing from an Iranian government slogan. He also said that Tehran needed to keep its ability to enrich uranium.
“If we had 100 nuclear power plants while not having enrichment, they are not usable for us,” Khamenei said. “If we do not have enrichment, then we should extend our hand (begging) to the US.”
However, some nuclear power nations get uranium from outside suppliers, reports the AP.
Details of the American proposal remain unclear after five rounds of talks between Iran and the US.
The UN security council will vote later today on a resolution calling for a ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access in Gaza. It will be the first vote on the issue held by the council since November.

Triple murder accused, who denies deliberately poisoning anyone, tells court she dumped dehydrator used to dry foraged mushrooms due to feeling ‘scared’ of child protection officers seeing it
Erin Patterson has told a court her estranged husband asked her if she had used a dehydrator to poison his parents, and admitted resetting her phone out of fear police would discover photos she had of foraged mushrooms.
In her third day in the witness box, Patterson also said she thinks there is a “possibility” that foraged mushrooms were unintentionally added to her beef wellington mixture as she tried to improve its “bland” flavour, and lied to her lunch guests about having cancer because she was embarrassed about planned weight-loss surgery.
A hacked or compromised account can be a nightmare. But with these tips, it need not be the end of the world
Email accounts have become more than a longstanding method of communication, morphing into the centre of your digital world as the user login for hundreds of services from shopping to socials. So when you forget your password, your email gets stolen or hacked, it can be a total nightmare.
Here’s what to do if the worst happens. Quickly taking these steps can help get you back into your email and safeguard the many other accounts linked to it.
Try to change your password from a device that’s already logged in.
Use a familiar device in a familiar location that you have frequently used your email account from before, such as your computer or a phone on your home wifi. Use the same browser you usually would if you have more than one installed.
Use account recovery process for provider, such as Google or Microsoft, and access your account through your recovery email or phone if you have one.
Answer all the recovery questions to the best of your ability, including any old passwords you might remember, even if you only know part of the answer. Google and Microsoft have tips you can follow. It may take up to 24 hours for you to be verified to recover your account.
If all else fails, set up a new email account so that you can quickly migrate your logins for various sites and services to one you can control.
Set a new, strong password that is unique for your email account. The password should be at least 12 characters, but the longer the better. Use a combination of alphanumeric and special characters. Some tips include using a combination of random words, a memorable lyric or quote, and avoid simple or guessable combinations. Use a password manager to help you remember it and other important details.
Set up two-step verification using a code-generating app, rather than SMS text messages. Make sure you save your two-step backup codes somewhere safe.
Use a passkey rather than a password, which uses your device and biometrics to authenticate you and cannot be hacked like a password.
Set a recovery email and phone number to help get back into your account if you can’t log in.
Set up as many security questions as your account allows in settings and make them as difficult to guess as possible. Make sure you write the answers down somewhere safe.
‘Got’ was changed during the editing of an opinion piece, leading to correspondence lamenting a slide into American English. But language isn’t a fortress
In Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part II, a messenger breathlessly announces to the king that, “Jack Cade hath gotten London bridge”. Hold this late 16th-century text in mind as we fast forward to last week when Martin Kettle, associate editor and columnist at the Guardian in the UK, was seen to suggest in an opinion piece that, if King Charles has pushed the boundaries of neutrality, such as with his speech to open the new Canadian parliament, he has so far “gotten away with it”.
In a letter published the next day, a reader asked teasingly if this use of “gotten” – and another writer’s reference to a “faucet” – were signs the Guardian had fallen into line with Donald Trump’s demand that news agencies adopt current US terminology, such as referring to the “Gulf of America”.
