The restriction takes effect in the upcoming academic year.The Lebanese army has avoided searching homes and terrorist infrastructure while disputes over a monitoring mechanism delay Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has shifted toward smaller units, ambushes and explosive drones rather than large-scale operations, with the Ali al-Taher ridge emerging as one of the war's most contested areas.A Spanish police report found that Moroccan security forces displayed "total permissiveness" as large numbers of migrants entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta last month. A French news agency reviewed the report on Wednesday.In a Wednesday filing before a US judge, the ousted Venezuelan president contended that his status as a former head of state shields him from criminal drug trafficking charges. Maduro, detained in Brooklyn since his January 3 capture by American forces in Caracas, faces trial on June 1, 2027, unless the motion succeeds.A U.S. District Judge in Maryland on Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction against an executive order the Trump administration said would target birth tourism.

Two of the three police officers injured in the incident were shot; both were in stable condition.Alex Karp, the data-analytics firm's CEO, contended Wednesday that France's push to limit government reliance on US software was backfiring. The criticism came after French intelligence agency DGSI dropped Palantir in favor of homegrown alternative ChapsVision, citing data sovereignty.Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a temporary prohibition on AI tools for students in grades K-8 across the nation's largest school system.
