Cluster munitions explode in mid-air and scatter bomblets. Iran and Israel are not among more than a hundred countries that are party to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, transfer, production and storage of cluster bombs. The Iranians "are using cluster munitions", Israeli military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani told a news briefing, without providing details on when or where those munitions were allegedly launched. Israeli police said on Wednesday that bomb disposal experts found evidence of cluster munitions after incoming missiles from Iran were detected. Both Iran and Israel have been accused of using cluster munitions.

TEHRAN, March 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Israel announced a new wave of "broad-scale" strikes on Tehran on Saturday as US President Donald Trump said only Iran's unconditional surrender would bring an end to the escalating Middle East war. The Israeli military said early Saturday that it had launched a "broad-scale wave of strikes" on government targets in Tehran. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Israel of targeting them, and French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the attack as "unacceptable." Tehran was pummeled by Israeli strikes on Friday, which AFP journalists described as among the heaviest days of bombardments yet. According to Iran's health ministry, the US and Israeli strikes have killed 926 people, a number AFP could not independently verify.

A plan to prohibit Coloradans from using food-assistance benefits to buy soda and sugary fruit juices was stalled Friday by a state board after opponents argued it was an overreach that could harm the dignity and autonomy of low-income families. The rule would ban the use of the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, called SNAP, to buy soda as well as juices with added sugars or artificial sweeteners. Opponents, including people who receive food stamps, argued the restriction would limit people’s autonomy to make their own food choices and cause more food insecurity. State officials said the rule change would improve health, and could save public money spent by Medicaid to treat people with diabetes and health disease in future years. Colorado is one of 18 states with federal approval to prohibit using food-assistance benefits to buy sugary drinks.

Otherwise referred to as merengue típico, this internationally-popularized Dominican style is infused with both European and African instrumentation and musical conventions. Dr. Austerlitz realized, in hindsight, that the book he picked up so many years ago had fallen victim to this same musical propaganda. Dr. Austerlitz remarked that merengue after his rule became very Dominican and much more revered globally. Slower than merengue, the Haitian kompa is much more romantic, with a relaxed sway and close contact to your partner. Although the night of dance came to an end, only to exist fondly in the memory of its participants, Cornell’s music festival moves forward well into the weekend.

File PhotoDHAKA, March 6, 2026 (BSS) - The Bangladesh Coast Guard has detained 37 fishermen along with three illegal artisanal trolling boats, trolling nets and a large quantity of marine fish during a drive in the Bay of Bengal. The information was shared today in a press release signed by Coast Guard media officer Lieutenant Commander Sabbir Alam Sujon. On information, the Coast Guard ship Sonar Bangla conducted a raid in the afternoon on March 4 in the deep sea area, approximately 20 nautical miles southwest of the Mongla Fairway Buoy. During the operation, three illegal artisanal trolling boats were seized, said the press release. Later, in the presence of the Mongla Upazila Fisheries Officer, the seized artisanal trolling boats and other evidence, along with the detained fishermen, were handed over to Mongla Police Station for further legal action.

(MIDDLETOWN, CT) Venezuela’s Orinoco River Basin is a wild land of lush forests, grasslands and a vast delta of jungle wetlands teeming with wildlife. The region encompasses about 12% of Venezuela, including national monuments, national parks and Indigenous communities. In 1976, with the country’s economy heavily dependent on oil, Venezuela nationalized the oil industry. Foreign industries could partner with the state oil company, but only if the government held the controlling share of the joint ventures. Scenes like this are what environmental and Indigenous groups fear if oil drilling expands in the Orinoco Oil Belt.

Moral conflict in close relationships is so often background noise until it manifests in personal attacks and consequences. Excuse the morality police — we aren’t moral hypocrites, but self-motivated moral regulators that balance risk, convenience and connection satisfaction. Ethical hiccups are tolerated until costs outweigh benefits. In both healthy and unhealthy relationships, the spectrum is a silent presence; we’re usually burdened by both contrasting ends. People persist as long as the benefits outweigh the costs.

Bangladesh marks the historic March 7 Saturday , commemorating the landmark speech delivered by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1971 that galvanized the nation’s struggle for independence. In his historic address, Bangabandhu called upon the people to prepare for the struggle for freedom and laid out directives for civil resistance across the country. The speech is widely regarded as a defining moment that effectively set the stage for Bangladesh’s War of Independence. Millions across the country listened to the speech, which united the people in their demand for autonomy and ultimately independence from Pakistan. Various political, cultural and social organizations have taken programs to observe the day.

Recent movie releases from Disney have received less than glowing reviews, yet they somehow manage to keep raking in the cash. Snow White crashed and burned, grossing only $205 million at the box office. Much of the backlash that Disney faced over Snow White can be attributed to a PR disaster with starring actress Rachel Zegler. Upcoming releases in the next three years include Zombies 5, Toy Story 5, Frozen 3, Incredibles 3, Coco 2 and Moana (live-action). In the past, Disney has been at the forefront of cinematography, consistently featuring clever plotlines and loveable characters.
