The New York Times has subtly changed its headline about the murder of a rabbi in Dubai after facing fierce backlash for seemingly downplaying the 'antisemitic act of terror.' But the Times sparked widespread backlash when they initially reported the story with the headline, 'Israeli rabbi who disappeared in Dubai is found dead.' 'Rabbi Kogan was not 'found dead', he was murdered,' Cuomo wrote on X. The media should call the kidnapping and killing of Rabbi Kogan exactly what it is: an act of antisemitic terror.' Be better than this New York Times,'By Monday morning, the headline was quietly updated to, 'An Israeli Rabbi Is Abducted and Killed in the U.A.E.'

Whatever your needs, there’s a CUPRA for you Photograph: PRThe transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a big part of the UK’s plans to achieve net zero, with proposals to ban the sale of new cars that run solely on petrol or diesel by 2030. The country hit a significant milestone in 2024, with more than 1,250,000 fully electric cars now on Britain’s roads. A further 715,000 are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Yet the same survey found that 94% of CUPRA EV owners are happy they now drive an electric car, and none of the respondents said they’d go back to a petrol or diesel engine. Among all of the non-EV drivers polled, seven in 10 believe they’ll be driving a fully electric car within the next 10 years.

Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, Politicians always claim that their prime obligation is to defend our nation. However, as Max Hastings confirms (“It’s scary what we need to spend on defence”, Nov 23), they have singularly failed to provide both the personnel and equipment to achieve this. Our ability to defend our shores against a large-scale missile/drone attack is virtually nonexistent. So isn’t it time for our political leaders to rise above party politics and come together to urgently and collectively guarantee an increased defence budget, in time to meet the recommendations of the strategic defence review? And haven’t the service chiefs a duty to put their careers on the line, to the point of resignation, if our politicians fail to provide what they

LEDERERThe deadliest place for women is at home and 140 women and girls on average were killed by an intimate partner or family member per day last year, two U.N. agencies reported Monday. Globally, an intimate partner or family member was responsible for the deaths of approximately 51,100 women and girls during 2023, an increase from an estimated 48,800 victims in 2022, UN Women and the U.N. Office of Drugs and Crime said. Africa also had the highest number of victims relative to the size of its population — 2.9 victims per 100,000 people. “Even though men and boys account for the vast majority of homicide victims, women and girls continue to be disproportionately affected by lethal violence in the private sphere," the report said.

Donald Trump will remove all transgender members of the US military from their posts, according to reports. It will lead to the dismissal of thousands of service personnel at a time when the US armed forces are struggling to meet recruitment targets. In his first term, Mr Trump banned transgender people from joining the US armed forces but those already in post were allowed to keep their jobs. Under the reported new proposals transgender people would also be banned from joining the military. The move comes after the president-elect nominated Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who has criticised “weak” and “effeminate” military leadership, as his defence secretary.

Read our privacy policyDonald Trump is expected to sign an executive order that would remove transgender service members from the military as soon as his first day in office. The president-elect is reportedly preparing to issue an order following his inauguration on January 20 that would effectively ban trans people serving in the military — and then medically discharge the thousands of currently serving trans service members in the armed forces. In his first term in office, Trump declared that the US would no longer “accept or allow” trans people in the military, citing “tremendous medical costs and disruption,” he tweeted in 2017. Now, Trump is expected to immediately rescind Biden’s order and go further by ejecting currently-serving trans troops, according to The Times, citing sources familiar with the president-elect’s plans. “These people will be forced out at a time when the military can’t recruit enough people,” a source familiar with Trump’s plans told The Times.

US President-elect Donald Trump is planning to discharge all service transgender members of the US military when he returns to the White House, according to reports. The Times reported that Trump will implement an executive order on his first day in office that would “medically discharge” around 15,000 active service members as unfit to serve, while also banning future transgender enlistments. The proposed move comes at a time when the US military is facing significant recruitment challenges, with most branches falling short of their targets. Rachel Branaman, executive director of the Modern Military Association of America, argued that such a ban would “undermine the readiness of the military” and deepen its recruitment crisis. US President Biden overturned the ban in 2021, but the new measure would reportedly lead to the discharge of all transgender personnel, regardless of their tenure.
