Some bakeries in northern Gaza are reopening for the first time since October. Many of them were destroyed by Israeli bombardment, worsening a food crisis when Israel announced a total blockade at the start of the war. While the reopening of some bakeries is seen as a crucial step, the risk of famine remains high.  Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra reports.

Local elections in England and Wales on Thursday could indicate how a general election - likely to be held by the end of this year - might play out. Polls suggest the opposition Labour Party holds a dominant lead over the governing Conservatives. But for many voters it’s less about national politics and more about a steady decline in services provided by the councils they’ll be voting for.

The dark side of 'green energy': The real cost of cobalt mining in the DRC and how it impacts the nation’s environment. From smartphones to aircraft engines to the batteries of electric cars, cobalt is a critical component of modern life since the metal protects batteries from overheating and catching fire, extending their lifespans. As demand for cobalt has skyrocketed over the last few decades, it is the Democratic Republic of the Congo, home to most of Earth’s cobalt reserves, which has borne the brunt. The central African country has seen an expansion of industrial-scale mines that extract this metal. But this has led to forced evictions and human rights abuses as well as devastating climate implications. Mines – both legal and illegal – have been appearing all over the nation, and threatening the pristine tropical rainforest. The film Beyond the Oil Age delves into a modern world trying to move to greener cleaner energy at the expense of countries like the DRC. The miracle metal cobalt, a superalloy, is now turning into a deadly chemical as toxic dumping has devastated landscapes, polluted water and contaminated crops. The quest for DRC’s cobalt has demonstrated how the clean energy revolution, meant to save the planet from perilously warming temperatures, is caught in a familiar cycle of environmental degradation, exploitation and greed.

The New York Police Department has said that 282 people were arrested following last night’s protests at New York’s Columbia University and the City College of New York. The numbers were given during a news conference led by New York City mayor Eric Adams. “We cannot allow what should be a lawful protest to turn into a violent spectacle that saves and serves no purpose. There’s no place for acts of hate in our city,” New York City mayor Eric Adams said at the news briefing, despite criticism that the police reaction was disproportionate to the student protests. Critics of the protests have tried to paint them as anti-Semitic, although protesters have emphasised that they are focused on ending Israel’s war on Gaza. “I want to continue to commend the professionalism of the police department and to thank Columbia University. It was a tough decision, we understood that. But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion,” he said.

Israeli settlers have been repeatedly blocking the humanitarian aid trucks heading to Gaza after leaving from Ashdod port, 38km (24 miles) north of the Strip. The settlers are calling on the Israeli government to prevent the flow of aid supplies to the besieged enclave, despite signs of famine across the territory, unless they can restore the Israeli captives from the territory. The vast majority of humanitarian convoys have been inspected by the Israeli military in order to guarantee that there isn’t any kind of material that can be smuggled in and to make sure that all the aid supplies will be delivered to the people.
