Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said Tuesday the government is prepared to respond to excessive currency moves, adding, “That includes taking decisive action, as confirmed between Japan and the U.S.”

According to Vladyslav Vlasiuk, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Commissioner for Sanctions Policy, the components are civilian-use electronics that are believed to reach Russia through third countries, rather than direct exports from Japan.

Ukrainian documents identify parts from 13 Japanese companies, and Kyiv is urging Japan to tighten export controls to prevent diversion into Russian weapons.

Protesters confronted Smotrich over his past opposition to hostage deals, telling him, "You have no right to exist here. Get off the stage," and "If you hadn't opposed the hostage deal at the time, many more hostages would have come back alive."

The incident occurred during a ceremony marking the cornerstone of 1,000 new housing units near Gaza.

Restrictions on fuel sales in Sevastopol will continue to some extent over the next month.

The authorities are trying to stabilize high gasoline prices in the city and bring them to the average level in the country.

A Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman said the $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets has not yet been transferred, adding that their release is tied to progress in the talks.

He also said a de-escalation hotline helped contain last week's U.S.-Iran exchanges and that Qatar is coordinating with Oman to ensure safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, which it described as a top priority.

£64bn will be invested into renewing the UK's nuclear deterrent.

The money will go into building new submarines, developing a new sovereign warhead, and buying 12 F-35A fighter jet, maintaining our role in guaranteeing British and European security.

Starmer said some road and energy projects will be scrapped to help finance the plan, which he said will "make the British people safer" and deliver a "generational transformation" of the armed forces.

Britain will also create a new £50 billion defence export facility to help domestic firms compete internationally.

He added that defence procurement would follow a "Back British" approach, creating almost 60,000 jobs, and announced an £8.6 billion investment in the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) to develop the Tempest fighter jet alongside Italy and Japan.

Al-Jazaeri told Rudaw that 64 more people are expected to be arrested in the coming days, adding that 14 parliamentarians and two deputy ministers have already been detained.

He also said arrest orders have been issued for three more high-profile figures tonight and claimed the crackdown is intended to target corrupt officials ahead of al-Zaidi's upcoming visit to Washington.

We had not planned any meetings with the American side at any level over the next few days, so there is nothing for us to cancel.

What will probably happen tomorrow in Doha is a discussion about the implementation of clauses of the memorandum of understanding, including the clause related to the release of Iran's frozen assets with Qatari parties.

Therefore, I emphasize that no meeting at any level with the American side has been planned for the next few days.

All necessary preparations have been made, and we hope the work will proceed appropriately and reach a satisfactory result.

American officials' dancing and celebration over Iran's failure to advance to the next round of the World Cup violates all accepted standards and norms of hosting.
