Iran Hints at Deal, Israel Strikes Gaza, Navalny Poisoned

Eleven Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza on Sunday morning, according to Palestinian civil defense and health officials, as both sides accused each other of breaching a ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, Iran signaled a willingness to consider compromises to reach a nuclear deal with the US, and the UK announced that Russia killed opposition leader Alexei Navalny using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin. In other news, a union warned that the gender pay gap won't close until 2056, and Manchester's economic success is being examined as a potential model for UK growth.

According to Palestinian civil defense and health officials, the Israeli strikes in Gaza resulted in the deaths of eleven Palestinians. The IDF stated it had struck terror targets in response to ceasefire violations by Hamas, claiming militants had been killed after emerging from a tunnel. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported a strike on a tent encampment in northern Gaza that killed at least six people, while another strike in the south of the strip killed five. Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of near-daily violations of the ceasefire.

In Tehran, Iran's deputy foreign minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, told the BBC that Iran was ready to discuss compromises to reach a nuclear deal with the US if the Americans were willing to discuss lifting sanctions. US officials have emphasized that Iran, not the US, is holding up progress in the negotiations. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump preferred a deal but that it was "very hard to do" one with Iran.

The UK and its European allies announced that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper stated that "only the Russian government had the means, motive and opportunity" to use the poison while Navalny was imprisoned in Russia. Moscow has dismissed the finding as an "information campaign," according to Tass news agency.

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) warned that the gender pay gap won't close until 2056 if progress remains at its current rate. The disparity between average wages for men and women is 12.8%, or £2,548 per year, according to TUC analysis of official pay data. The gender pay gap measures the difference in salaries between men and women.

Finally, the economic success of Manchester is being examined as a potential model for UK growth. Faisal Islam, economics editor for the BBC, noted the "buzz" around the city and questioned whether it could provide insights into kickstarting growth in the UK.
