AI Summary:
Israel released a total of 183 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for three Israeli hostages held in Gaza. 111 Palestinians released Saturday have been held without trial since the day after the Oct. 7 attack. The remaining 72 Palestinians served long sentences or life sentences for deadly attacks against Israelis. El-Halabi, 47, and World Vision vigorously denied the allegations. Independent investigations found no proof of wrongdoing. Rights groups say he was denied a fair and transparent trial. Israel has attributed closed hearings to sensitive security information. Abu Srour was sentenced to life in prison over a 2000 attack that killed Israeli soldier Shahar Veckart. During the second intifada, the shrine became a target of Palestinian militants protesting Israel’s claim to the holy site revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Zakaria Zubeidi is a prominent former militant leader and theater director whose dramatic jailbreak in 2021 thrilled Palestinians across the Middle East and stunned the Israeli security establishment. Zubeidi had served years in prison for attacks in the early 2000s. He denies charges, saying he gave up militancy to focus on his political activism. In 2021, he and five other prisoners tunneled out of a maximum-security prison in northern Israel. All six were recaptured days later. Aradeh has three brothers and a sister who have spent years in Israeli prisons. Held responsible for a string of deadly attacks during the second intifada, the men were sentenced to multiple life sentences in 2002. They were accused of plotting a suicide bombing near Tel Aviv in 2002 that killed 15 people. Later that year, they were found to have orchestrated a bombing at Hebrew University that killed nine people, including five American students. Latifa Abu Hamid, 72, now has three sons exiled, one still imprisoned and one killed by Israeli forces. Their family house has been demolished at least three times by Israel. Al-Tous had held the title of longest continuous Israeli imprisonment until his release last Saturday.

AI Summary:
A coast guard ship took 43 migrants from the port of Shengjin. They were among the 49 men who were transferred to Albania on an Italian naval ship Tuesday. Five of them were returned the same day — four because they were minors. The fate of one final migrant is not clear. Italy last year signed a five-year agreement to process up to 3,000 migrants a month beyond EU borders as part of Meloni’s program to combat illegal migration to Italy. In the first four weeks of this year, 3,704 migrants arrived in Italy, almost three times as many as in the same period last year.

AI Summary:
The UK ambulance service said 15% of its 426,000 calls last year — 175 a day — were not urgent. Some weren't even health-related and were far from being matters of life and death. There was a call about a chipped tooth ("it's starting to throb") and a bloody toe. South Western Ambulance Service in England said more than a quarter of the one million-plus calls it fielded last year did not merit sending help. The non-emergency calls included a person looking for assistance in finding their walking stick, a patient who had fallen off a chair and a woman who complained of having a “horrendous nightmare”

AI Summary:
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman says the government is aiming for a fiscal deficit of 4.4% of India’s gross domestic product for the 2025-26 financial year. The world’s fifth-largest economy is expected to post its slowest growth in four years due to a sluggish manufacturing sector, persistent food inflation, stagnant job growth and weak urban consumption. Youth unemployment was 7.5% in January, underscoring the challenge of delivering jobs in a country of more than 1.4 billion people. To boost productivity across the agriculture sector, the Indian government will launch a nationwide program to push high-yielding crops.
