JERUSALEM — Israel approved a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon's Hezbollah militants on Tuesday that would end nearly 14 months of fighting linked to the war in the Gaza Strip. The ceasefire, starting at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday, would mark the first major step toward ending the regionwide unrest triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. But it does not address the devastating war in Gaza , where Hamas is still holding dozens of hostages and the conflict is more intractable. Hours before the ceasefire with Hezbollah was to take effect, Israel carried out the most intense wave of strikes in Beirut and its southern suburbs since the start of the conflict and issued a record number of evacuation warnings. At least 42 people were killed in strikes across the country, according to local authorities. Another huge airstrike shook Beirut shortly after the ceasefire was announced. Smoke rises following an Israeli airstrike on Dahiyeh, in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024. There appeared to be lingering disagreement over whether Israel would have the right to strike Hezbollah if it believed the militants had violated the agreement, something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted was part of the deal but which Lebanese and Hezbollah officials have rejected. Israel's security Cabinet approved the U.S.-France-brokered ceasefire agreement after Netanyahu presented it, his office said. U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking in Washington, called the agreement “good news” and said his administration would make a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Biden administration spent much of this year trying to broker a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza but the talks repeatedly sputtered to a halt . President-elect Donald Trump vowed to bring peace to the Middle East without saying how. Still, any halt to the fighting in Lebanon is expected to reduce the likelihood of war between Israel and Iran, which backs both Hezbollah and Hamas and exchanged direct fire with Israel on two occasions earlier this year. In this screen grab image from video provide by the Israeli Government Press Office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes a televised statement Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, in Jerusalem, Israel. Netanyahu presented the ceasefire proposal to Cabinet ministers after a televised address in which he listed accomplishments against Israel’s enemies across the region. He said a ceasefire with Hezbollah would further isolate Hamas in Gaza and allow Israel to focus on its main enemy, Iran. “If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack,” he said. “For every violation, we will attack with might.” The ceasefire deal calls for a two-month initial halt in fighting and would require Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops would return to their side of the border. Thousands of additional Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers would deploy in the south, and an international panel headed by the United States would monitor compliance. Biden said Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah breaks the terms of the truce, but that the deal "was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” A police bomb squad officer inspects the site where a rocket fired from Lebanon landed in a backyard in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel, Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024. Netanyahu’s office said Israel appreciated the U.S. efforts in securing the deal but “reserves the right to act against every threat to its security.” Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati welcomed the ceasefire and described it as a crucial step toward stability and the return of displaced people. Hezbollah has said it accepts the proposal, but a senior official with the group said Tuesday it had not seen the agreement in its final form. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Al Jazeera news network. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state," he said, referring to Israel's demand for freedom of action. “Any violation of sovereignty is refused.” Rescuers and residents search for victims Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, at the site of an Israeli airstrike that targeted a building in Beirut, Lebanon. Even as ceasefire efforts gained momentum in recent days, Israel continued to strike what it called Hezbollah targets across Lebanon while the militants fired rockets, missiles and drones across the border. An Israeli strike on Tuesday leveled a residential building in central Beirut — the second time in recent days warplanes have hit the crowded area near downtown. At least seven people were killed and 37 wounded, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Israel also struck a building in Beirut's bustling commercial district of Hamra for the first time, hitting a site around 400 meters (yards) from Lebanon’s Central Bank. There were no reports of casualties. The Israeli military said it struck targets linked to Hezbollah's financial arm. The evacuation warnings covered many areas, including parts of Beirut that previously were not targeted. The warnings sent residents fleeing. Traffic was gridlocked, with mattresses tied to some cars. Dozens of people, some wearing pajamas, gathered in a central square, huddling under blankets or standing around fires as Israeli drones buzzed overhead. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings for 20 buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has a major presence, as well as a warning for the southern town of Naqoura where the U.N. peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, is headquartered. UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said peacekeepers will not evacuate. Israeli soldiers inspect the site Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024, where a rocket fired from Lebanon landed in a backyard in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel. The Israeli military also said its ground troops clashed with Hezbollah forces and destroyed rocket launchers in the Slouqi area on the eastern end of the Litani River, a few miles from the Israeli border. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah would be required to move its forces north of the Litani, which in some places is about 20 miles north of the border. Hezbollah began firing into northern Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, saying it was showing support for the Palestinians, a day after Hamas carried out its attack on southern Israel, triggering the Gaza war. Israel returned fire on Hezbollah, and the two sides have exchanged barrages ever since. Israeli security officers and army soldiers inspect the site Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024, where a rocket fired from Lebanon landed in a backyard in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel. Israel escalated its bombardment in mid-September and later sent troops into Lebanon, vowing to put an end to Hezbollah fire so tens of thousands of evacuated Israelis could return to their homes. More than 3,760 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon the past 13 months, many of them civilians, according to Lebanese health officials. The bombardment has driven 1.2 million people from their homes. Israel says it has killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Hezbollah fire has forced some 50,000 Israelis to evacuate in the country’s north, and its rockets have reached as far south in Israel as Tel Aviv. At least 75 people have been killed, more than half of them civilians. More than 50 Israeli soldiers have died in the ground offensive in Lebanon.

A U.S. judge has put an end to the federal criminal case accusing Donald Trump of attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss. This decision follows the prosecution's move to drop the case, citing Justice Department policy against charging a sitting president. The order from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan concludes federal efforts to hold Trump accountable after his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Special Counsel Jack Smith, overseeing both this and a separate case concerning classified documents, sought to dismiss the charges. This development marks a legal triumph for Trump, who won the latest U.S. election and is set to return to office in January. Further court approvals are needed, but the Justice Department stands firm in not prosecuting a sitting president, stating such actions could disrupt presidential duties.

There was once a time when live-stream gamers on platforms like Twitch usually had two different set-ups for playing the game and another for streaming. Usually, this meant having two sets of keyboards, mice, and monitors. Users would physically have to move from playing a game on one computer and move to another to control live streaming software like OBS software. That changed through the rise of KVM which stands for “Keyboard, Video, Mouse.” Interestingly enough, the technology was initially created for large data centers that may have several servers and computers on a server rack. Either through software or hardware, KVM switch capabilities allow users to control or switch between different PCs through a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Instead of using multiple inputs and monitors, only one is needed. Most importantly, it’s an amazing way to save set-up space and money on extra input devices. Outside of streaming, this is also a great way to potentially use an individual’s personal computer with a work computer. The past few years have seen the rise of gaming monitors with integrated KVM switches. For many, this begins with displays like the Gigabyte M27F. Mid-to-high-level displays ranging from the MSI MPG 271QR to BenQ Mobiuz EX321UX alongside other of our favorite gaming monitors have now standardized the capabilities. That is perfect for streamers who want to free up system resources on their gaming desktop for better visual quality or frame rate performance while allowing another device to handle the actual live stream. One other tool that’s needed for this is a capture card to send video data from the gaming desktop to the secondary device used to produce the stream. As a matter of fact, KVM works on gaming consoles like Xbox Series X|S or PS5 as well depending on the monitor. This means console gamers who work from home can get a couple of games of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or Fortnite during breaks without switching inputs. It’s also great for console gamers who want to stream as well. Just understand that not all games offer keyboard and mouse support on consoles. Though there are some minor differences between how KVM works with monitors, there are some connecting lines that potential users should know. With that said, we're here to help readers interested in KVM understand its usage. Most monitors with KVM switches have a USB-B port that upstreams to one computer. This allows the other downstream USB-A ports on the monitor to be utilized for mouse and keyboard. If the other device is a more modern laptop like a Macbook, all users have to do is simply connect one USB-C port to one on the monitor and that’s it. Another desktop may require a second USB-B port on the monitor alongside a video output port to the monitor like HDMI or DisplayPort. For game streaming, it’s best to use DisplayPort for the main gaming desktop because of frame rate performance possibilities as mentioned earlier and the other available one can be used for the high-quality stream. Even though it’s become the most popular in terms of usage, gaming isn’t the only use for KVM for streaming. Music producers and recording artists have started to use KVM as a way to do satellite sessions or showcase their talents through Twitch as well. Speaking of audio, it may be best to use the monitor’s 3.5mm headset jack if possible for whatever one may be using as their main. For good audio quality on the stream, most professionals utilize a quality microphone for the other device. After that is done, this is where things may get tricky depending on the type of monitor one has. Some monitors may have a hotkey, KVM button or may take some menu prompts. It’s really that simple. We suggest you check with the manufacturer’s instruction manual depending on the actual monitor. Why KVM is a must-have for many users KVM switch in gaming monitors has revolutionized efficiency, versatility and space management for both professionals and gamers alike. Its ability to bridge multiple devices with minimal effort underscores its appeal across usage. The tech serves as another evolutionary step for the devices including everything from the introduction of DisplayPort and curved displays and even the introduction of 120Hz refresh rate.

The Sudanese army said Saturday it had retaken a key state capital south of Khartoum from rival paramilitaries who had held it for the past five months. The Sennar state capital of Sinja is a strategic prize in the 19-month-old war between the regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces as it lies on a key road linking army-controlled areas of eastern and central Sudan. The army said that Sinja had been "liberated... from the terrorist militia". It posted footage on social media that it said had been filmed inside the main base in the city. "Sinja has returned to the embrace of the nation," the information minister of the army-backed government, Khaled al-Aiser, said in a statement. Aiser's office said armed forces chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had travelled to the city of Sennar, 60 kilometres (40 miles) to the north, on Saturday to "inspect the operation and celebrate the liberation of Sinja". The RSF had taken the two cities in a lightning offensive in June that saw nearly 726,000 civilians flee, according to UN figures. Human rights groups have said that those who were unwilling or unable to leave have faced months of arbitrary violence by RSF fighters. Sinja teacher Abdullah al-Hassan spoke of his "indescribable joy" at seeing the army enter the city after "months of terror". "At any moment, you were waiting for militia fighters to barge in and beat you or loot you," the 53-year-old told AFP by telephone. Both sides in the Sudanese conflict have been accused of war crimes, including indiscriminately shelling homes, markets and hospitals. The RSF has also been accused of summary executions, systematic sexual violence and rampant looting. The paramilitaries control nearly all of the vast western region of Darfur as well as large swathes of Kordofan in the south. They also hold much of the capital Khartoum and the key farming state of Al-Jazira to its south. Since April 2023, the war has killed tens of thousands of people and uprooted more than 11 million -- creating what the UN says is the world's largest displacement crisis. From the eastern state of Gedaref -- where more than 1.1 million displaced people have sought refuge -- Asia Khedr, 46, said she hoped her family's ordeal might soon be at an end. "We'll finally go home and say goodbye to this life of displacement and suffering," she told AFP.

THE Thai government’s campaign to pressure the Bank of Thailand to cut interest rates suffered a significant setback, with the Office of the Council of State effectively ruling that the official nominee to be chairman, former finance minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong, is not suitable. Without directly naming Kittiratt, Secretary-General Pakorn Nilprapunt said in a statement that “Mr. K’s” role as an adviser to the prime minister means he is a “person holding a political position” who was appointed for political reasons and is therefore not qualified. While the chair of the Bank of Thailand is not involved in monetary policy meetings, they can evaluate the governor’s performance and also have a say in which outside experts join the seven-member rate panel. The council’s legal opinion means that if the government tries to push ahead with Kittiratt’s appointment, it could face political risks and challenges. It’s also possible the selection process must start over. Kittiratt earlier this week posted on Facebook that he will “respect the decision” as to whether he becomes the central bank’s chairman. Pakorn’s statement didn’t mention the central bank’s own nominees, Kulit Sombatsiri, who has previously worked at the energy and finance ministries, and academic Surapon Nitikraipot. The government hasn’t immediately commented on Friday’s announcement, which comes just three days after the Thai Post, citing the finance permanent secretary, reported that the council had decided Kittiratt was unqualified. Within hours of that report, the Office of the Council of State’s Pakorn declared it had not yet concluded its legal opinion. That underscored the sensitivity of the issue, with Thailand already having delayed naming a new chairman as opposition mounted against Kittiratt, a former member of the ruling Pheu Thai party. The Economists for Society group, which includes former multiple former central bank governors, in November warned a chairman with strong political links would raise questions about the independence of the Bank of Thailand. The Thai government has been looking for ways to increase its influence over the central bank, and Bloomberg News reported in June that it was considering using the chairman’s role as a means of gaining leverage. The Bank of Thailand has cut its benchmark rate by a quarter point this year, to 2.25 percent, but at its most recent meeting held borrowing costs unchanged. The government wants lower borrowing costs to reduce the burden of household debt, but BOT policymakers say rates are appropriate and other measures are needed to boost growth.
