A Dutchman also was found dead on Samos over the weekend, following the recent death of British TV presenter Dr Michael Mosley on the island of Symi.

Demand for Indian mangoes soar as cargo fees rise | BBC News

Published

on



Entrepreneurs in New Jersey are making it big importing mangoes from India.

Yakin Shah and Bharat Kumar Parasana import about $20,000-worth at a time and sell them to their neighbours through WhatsApp.

Bharat said he spent more than $1 million importing the fruit last year.

This year, however, he’s spending more due to the war in the Middle East pushing up flight prices.

Mango correspondent Samira Hussain finds that in one New Jersey grocery store, a mango that typically goes for roughly 70 cents in India will sell for $5.

Hezbollah rejects renewed ceasefire agreed by Israel and Lebanon | BBC News

Published

on



The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has rejected the terms of a US-backed ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

In a strongly-worded statement, the Iran-backed group’s leader Naim Qassem said negotiations had been “futile” and “humiliating” for Lebanon, and rejected categorically by “broad segments of the Lebanese people”.

It comes after Israel and Lebanon announced a renewal of their fragile ceasefire with the creation of “pilot” security zones inside Lebanon in which Hezbollah operatives would be banned.

In a joint statement released on Wednesday by the US State Department, the three countries said the deal was “contingent on a complete cessation” of fire by Hezbollah.
