Aziza al-Shabrawi tried in vain to get the rainwater out of her family’s tent, pointing to her two children living in such precarious conditions. “My son is sick because of the bitter cold and my daughter is barefoot. It’s like we’re beggars,” said the 38-year-old. “No one cares, and no one helps.” Temperatures dropped overnight as rain pummelled the war-wrecked territory where many tents were swamped and many people were forced to sleep under plastic sheeting due…

I really like the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s camera, which performed well in both our review and a recent camera test. But after discovering an old, long-forgotten Apple iPhone 5 in a drawer at home and finding it was still in perfect working order, I wondered just how different photos taken with it would be compared to those taken by its current equivalents. I decided to find out in one of the more unusual camera tests I’ve ever performed. Context and cameras Before getting into the photos, it’s worth putting everything into context.

Alina Habba, one of Trump’s lawyers in the case, called the ruling “fundamentally flawed” and said Trump would seek “immediate review” from the Supreme Court. Carroll in the lawsuit sought at least $10…
Eddie Howe is hoping for a “magical European night” as Newcastle try to reach the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday. Newcastle must win at home to AC Milan and they might have to play without goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who is an injury doubt. Even victory over the Italian giants may not be enough for the Magpies to remain in Europe’s elite club competition as they would still drop into the Europa League should Paris Saint-Germain win at Borussia Dortmund. Defeat, meanwhile, would ensure Newcastle finished bottom of Group F, which would represent a hugely disappointing return from…
