Mahmoud Khalil: Appeals court reverses decision that freed Palestinian activist
AP —A federal appeals panel on Thursday reversed a lower court decision that released Mahmoud Khalil from an immigration jail, bringing the government one step closer to detaining and ultimately deporting the Palestinian activist. A three-judge panel of the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia instructed the lower court to dismiss Khalil’s habeas petition, a court filing that secured his release. The panel ruled the federal district court in New Jersey did not have jurisdiction over the matter because immigration challenges are handled differently under the law. In June, a federal judge in New Jersey ruled that justification would likely be declared unconstitutional and ordered Khalil released. President Donald Trump’s administration then appealed that ruling, arguing the deportation decision should ultimately fall to an immigration judge, rather than a federal court.

I didn’t just move to Los Angeles. I stepped into a movie
In 1911, a Broadway playwright wrote a snarky letter about a teenage actor who had recently train-tripped from New York to Los Angeles. Part of what defines a Los Angeles movie is our city’s willingness to turn the camera on itself, to prioritize a riveting tale over our own reputation. AdvertisementMovies Tell us: What are the best Los Angeles movies? We picked “Chinatown” as the best movie set in Los Angeles. These movies are a permanent reminder that Los Angeles is a place where fiction and reality are fused.

“This is the same system that helped kill hundreds of thousands of people in Syria to keep Bashar al-Assad in power,” the business owner said. “The economy has been going downhill for almost a decade,” the business owner said. “It’s been a cull, not just of bodies, but of souls,” the business owner said. “I can’t see the will to fight right now.” The engineer described an atmosphere of pervasive grief. “I’d say Trump attempting regime change is as likely as Trump making a deal,” the business owner said.

U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire advances to phase two amid sharp disputes
The White House announced the launch of Phase Two of a U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire plan, casting the move as the next step of a wider 20-Point Plan to end the Gaza conflict. Under the plan, a 15-member National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will assume day-to-day governance of an enclave of more than 2 million people. The scheme envisages the full demilitarization of Gaza, the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force to secure the territory and to train vetted Palestinian police units, and a multiyear reconstruction effort. The launch comes amid deep unresolved disputes that could scuttle the shift from ceasefire to demilitarization. Humanitarian briefings cited U.N. data showing fewer than 100 aid trucks are entering Gaza daily, a fraction of the roughly 600 per day agreed under the ceasefire.

Prehistoric wolf’s gut frozen in time reveals an ice age giant
On the vast expanse of the Siberian steppe 14,000 years ago, a 2-month-old wolf pup gobbled down some woolly rhinoceros flesh. Now, the findings from the wolf’s last meal are revealing clues about why the woolly rhino went extinct. - Love DalénChacón-Duque said hair on the woolly rhino tissue was still intact, suggesting the pup had barely begun digesting its meal before it died. Adult woolly rhinos would have been similar in size to the largest living rhinoceros species. With its long hair, the woolly rhino adapted to cold conditions and lived across northern Eurasia during the last ice age.
