US airstrikes live - Iraq warns of ‘dire consequences’ as 85 Iranian targets hit - The Independent

Pentagon knows who’s responsible for Jordan drone attack

Overnight the US struck 85 targets at seven facilities across Syria and Iraq as part of the retaliatory strikes in response to the deaths of three American soldiers.

The strikes, which Iraq condemned as a “new aggression against Iraq’s sovereignty”, reportedly killed 40 people. The US used over 125 precision munitions to strike command and control operation centres, intelligence centres, rockets and missiles and more used by Iran-backed militias.

The overnight strikes are the first of what is expected to be more strikes as a response to the three soldiers who were killed in Jordan in a drone attack by Iran-backed militants.

Iraq has warned that the strikes would only heighten tensions in the region where already the stakes are high.

“This aggressive strike will put security in Iraq and the region on the brink of the abyss, and it also contradicts efforts to establish the required stability,” an Iraq official said.

Everything we know about the US strikes on Iranian targets in Syria and Iraq

The US military on Friday struck Iran-backed militants and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three American troops in Jordan.

The US Central Command said American forces struck more than 85 targets at seven locations in both Middle Eastern countries using bombers and precision munitions, just hours after President Joe Biden received the remains of the three service members.

Iraqi militia official hints at de-escalation

An official from an Iranian-backed militia hinted at the desire to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East after the US launched retaliatory strikes in Iraq and Syria following the death of three American soldiers.

Hussein al-Mosawi, a spokesperson for Harakat al-Nujaba, one of the main Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, told The Associated Press that, “we do not wish to escalate or widen regional tensions.”

Mr Mosawi said that the targeted sites the US was striking in Iraq were “devoid of fighters and military personnel” but that “every action elicits a reaction.”

‘A free-for-all’: Japan divided as return of tourists brings Instagrammers and litter - The Guardian

At the height of the Covid pandemic, the restaurateurs and shopkeepers of Tsukiji market in Tokyo must have dreamed of days like these.

Columns of smartphone-wielding visitors shuffle along the narrow streets, pausing to inspect hand-forged kitchen knives and tsukemono pickles, and to sip gratis samples of green tea. Restaurants tempt the lunchtime crowd with sticks of grilled wagyu, boiled crab legs and, for dessert, plump strawberries encased in chewy mochi rice.

But there are indications that Tsukiji’s multinational clientele are not always on their best behaviour. Signs in English implore them not to eat outside storefronts or leave their litter behind. Staff hold aloft signs reminding diners where to queue for their 12-piece, ¥2,700 (£14.40) sushi lunch. Here, as in many other popular destinations around the world, booming tourism is a double-edged sword.

Almost a year after Japan lifted all pandemic travel restrictions, foreign visitors are back with a vengeance, drawn by a weak yen, world-beating cuisine, and the promise of a holiday of a lifetime in a country that was once considered a tourism backwater.

“Everything is cheap, the service is incredible, and the food is the best you’re going to have, and at a fraction of the price you’d pay in America,” said Tommy Buchheit, an American who was visiting Japan for the first time.

Those and other attractions tempted 25.8 million foreign visitors to Japan last year, according to immigration authorities – a sixfold rise from 2022. Together they spent a record ¥5.3tn (£28.3bn), according to the Japan Tourism Agency. Japan’s government wants more, setting an ambitious goal of 60 million visitors – and ¥15tn of spending – by the end of the decade.

But critics say Japan is ill prepared for higher tourist numbers, citing even more strain on accommodations, public transport and the service industry, at a time when the country is battling an acute labour shortage.

In his vision for a new “tourism nation”, prime minister Fumio Kishida said sustainable tourism depended on welcoming visitors without adversely affecting the quality of life for local people. Proposals outlined by the government last year include boosting the number of buses and taxis, raising public transport fares during peak hours, and opening new bus routes.

It also earmarked 11 “model” destinations, including rural eastern Hokkaido and the sub-tropical island of Okinawa, it hopes will draw visitors away from Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, which together accounted for 64% of overnight stays by foreign visitors in the first eight months of last year. The stress will be less on consumption and more on cultural immersion, from experiencing mountain asceticism and Zen meditation, to making pottery and saké.

A sign encouraging good behaviour among tourists at Tsukiji market in Tokyo.

“Tourism pollution” is most visible in Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital and home to some of the country’s most famous temples and shrines, and the geisha district of Gion. In 2022 the number of tourists visiting Kyoto exceeded 43 million – about 30 times the city’s population.

Peter MacIntosh, a longtime Canadian resident who organises geisha-themed walking tours, said residents were struggling to reconcile the disruption caused by hordes of visitors with a dramatic uptick in spending.

“The problem is that people here want the best of both worlds – to have a quieter life and make money – but it is only going to get worse as more people arrive. Kyoto is becoming a free-for-all,” said MacIntosh, who added that tour groups of up to 40 people were not unusual.

The boom has seen less well-known locations wrestling with travellers eager to gather social media content. They include a railway crossing in Kamakura, southwest of Tokyo, which has been inundated with fans of Slam Dunk, a popular manga comic and anime TV series about high school basketball. The crossing, which appears in the anime’s opening credits, is considered a “sacred site” among fans.

Some local authorities are taking matters into their own hands, amid concern that overtourism is damaging sites of historical and ecological interest.

Visitors to Itsukushima Shrine, a Unesco world heritage site, must pay ¥100 (53p) admission, while later this year, tourists heading to the Taketomi islands will be charged an as-yet undecided sum to help protect their pristine beaches.

From this summer, visitors planning to hike to the summit of Mount Fuji, another Unesco site, will be charged ¥2,000 (£10.70), as local authorities attempt to take the strain off crowded trails trodden by more than 5 million people in 2019.

“Japan has become a bucket-list destination,” said Karlÿn de Bruin, who was visiting Tokyo from the Netherlands with her father and brother. “I can imagine that local people get fed up, so we try to mind our own business. But you can feel the social media vibe … people dressing up and taking photos in certain ways because it makes good content.”

Kenichi Kondō, a Tsukiji fishmonger, was beaming as he served grilled fillets of black cod to hungry passersby. “Our takings are up tenfold compared to a couple of years ago,” said Kondō, whose business has occupied the same spot for more than 50 years. “First we had a lot of people from North America and Europe, but now they are mainly from Southeast Asia, and we’re expecting a lot of Chinese visitors when they celebrate their new year soon.”

While he welcomed the shot in the arm tourism has given his store’s 10 employees, Kondō conceded that littering had become a big problem. “We try to get around that by offering to take people’s rubbish off them if they buy our fish. There are exceptions, but the tourists here are generally well behaved.”

Lizzie Jones, an American on her fourth trip to Japan, was sanguine about the crowds she encountered at Tsukiji on an unseasonably warm February day. “You expect it when you do all the touristy things … when you come to this market you know it’s going to be packed.”

But like many locals, she took exception to litter louts and nuisance influencers who trample on local customs and treat busy locations like their personal photo studio.

“I think it’s a generational thing,” she said. “The first few times I came here, there was no trash and now there’s a lot. There’s also a sense of an entitlement … people do whatever they want and don’t teach themselves about local customs. They don’t care. These places don’t just exist for your Instagram story.”

Command centres, intelligence centres, rockets, and missiles, and unmanned aired vehicle storages and munition supply chain facilities of militia groups were struck in the attack, it added.

When questioned previously by The Independent about whether the US classifies the fighting on multiple fronts as a war, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said he disagreed.

“There were attacks against our troops and facilities in Iraq and Syria well before 7 October – certainly in the last administration as well,” he said, speaking at a White House pres briefing.

“And as for the Houthis, they can claim all they want that this is linked to Gaza but two-thirds of the ships that they’re hitting have no connection to Israel whatsoever. So, it’s just not true. It’s a falsehood.”

Paris stabbing: Three injured in knife attack at Gare de Lyon train station - The Independent

A man seemingly armed with a knife and hammer has injured three people in an early-morning attack at the major Gare de Lyon train station in Paris.

The attack unfolded at around 7.35am on Saturday morning and left one person in a serious condition in hospital, while two others suffered minor injuries.

Prosecutors in Paris said a security guard tackled the suspect to the ground at the Gare de Lyon, France’s second-busiest station, before he was taken into police custody.

A spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office said that a knife and hammer believed to have been used in the attack are being analysed by police.

The man's motives have not yet been determined and the attack is not immediately being treated as a possible terrorist incident.

A general view outside of the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris, France

The police investigation was looking at a potential preliminary charge of attempted murder, the prosecutor’s office said.

Posting on social media, interior minister Gerald Darmanin described the attack as an "unbearable act" and thanked those who detained the suspect.

The attack on Saturday is another nerve-rattling security incident in the Olympic host city before the Summer Games open in six months.

Security in Paris is being ramped up as it prepares to welcome 10,500 Olympians and millions of visitors for the first Olympic Games in a century in the French capital.

The Games are to open with a massive open-air ceremony along the River Seine on 26 July, a major security challenge in the city that has been repeatedly hit by terror attacks.

Most recently, a man targeted passersby near the Eiffel Tower in December, killing a German tourist with a knife and injuring two others.

Why are farmers protesting in France and across Europe? - The Times

WORLD NEWS

Why are farmers protesting in France and across Europe?

Workers across the continent are frustrated by cheap imports, the EU’s green laws and higher taxes

Standing behind tractors blocking the A10 motorway outside Paris this week, Victor Rabier listed some of the grievances driving protests by farmers throughout Europe.

Foremost among them were the inspectors from the French Biodiversity Agency who arrive, armed with pistols, on his farm to check that he is following rules which he views as absurd.

“I can’t even prune my trees when I want,” he said. “Not even if they are hanging over a path and hitting the tractor when I drive along it. We just don’t feel that we can run our own farms anymore.”

Rabier, 33, grows wheat, potatoes and onions on a farm purchased by his father 40 years ago in the Essonne département south of Paris. He was speaking as long-standing
