IDF strikes Houthi energy infrastructure, including Haziz power station in Sanaa
At least two explosions were heard in the Yemeni capital Sanaa near a power station, residents said early on Sunday. The IDF struck an energy infrastructure site that was used by the Houthis in Yemen, the military confirmed on Sunday morning. According to the IDF, the strikes were conducted in response to repeated attacks by Houthis against Israel and Israeli civilians, including launching surface-to-surface missiles and drones toward Israeli territory. Army Radio reported that the Israel Navy struck in Yemen and targeted the Haziz power station. The report compared the strike to an earlier one this year in the port of Hodeidah. The Houthi-run Beirut-based Al Masirah TV reported earlier that a power plant south of the Yemeni capital Sanaa was hit by an "aggression," knocking some of its generators out of service. The Yemeni channel did not identify the source of the reported "aggression." Senior Houthi leaders were at the power station at the time of the strike, according to a report by UK-based outlet The Telegraph. Teams were working to put out a fire caused by the incident, Al Masirah added, citing a source in civil defense as saying. At least two explosions were heard earlier in Sanaa, residents said. Videos of the explosion showed clouds of smoke and flames erupting from an unidentified structure. Houthis have been striking Israel for months Israel has been carrying out airstrikes in Yemen in response to the Houthis' attacks on Israel. The Yemeni group has been firing missiles toward Israel, most of which have been intercepted, in what they describe as support to Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas War. The US and the UK had also previously launched attacks against the Houthis in Yemen. In May, the US announced a surprise deal with the Houthis where it agreed to stop a bombing campaign against them in return for an end to the group's shipping attacks, though the Houthis said the deal did not include sparing Israel.

Fashion giants Shein and Temu in hot water after secret shopper investigation: 'Shocked'
Fashion giants Shein and Temu in hot water after secret shopper investigation: 'Shocked' Online fast-fashion giants Shein and Temu are facing pressure from European regulators after a secret shopper investigation uncovered serious safety violations in a range of their products. What's happening? The European Commission is cracking down on Shein and Temu after discovering dangerous and noncompliant products sold through the platforms. These include baby teethers with choking hazards, sunglasses with no UV protection, and children's raincoats laced with toxic chemicals. A report from members of the European Parliament also found banned substances linked to fertility and developmental harm in cosmetics sold on the sites. EU Justice Commissioner Michael McGrath said he was "shocked" by the findings, as reported by Euro Weekly News. This news is surfacing as the EU struggles to manage an overwhelming influx of imported goods. In 2024, the bloc received 4.6 billion cheap shipments under €150, double the number from the year before. Why are discount and fast-fashion retailers such as Temu and Shein concerning? These violations are putting people at risk. From toxic chemicals to unsafe children's products, the quality issues show how ultra-cheap imports are more dangerous and problematic than people think. In 2023, the EU issued a record 4,137 alerts for unsafe nonfood products. Shein's and Temu's business models are also concerning. Many of their items aren't made to last, feeding into the global mountain of landfill waste. About 101 million tons of textile waste are generated every year. And in the U.S., about 85% of all textiles end up in the dump each year. To make things worse, European companies that play by the rules face higher compliance costs, putting them at a disadvantage compared with low-cost international sellers skirting regulations. What's being done about it? In response, the EU is considering removing the €150 duty-free threshold and introducing a per-package fee to better fund customs, which is already being overwhelmed by the sheer number of orders. McGrath also plans to raise the issue with Chinese officials at the upcoming EU-China summit. Shein has responded by pointing to its compliance investments, and Temu shared a report about its seller vetting and compliance checks. But so far, EU officials remain unconvinced. Consumers can do plenty to curb the environmental effects of fast fashion and cheap retailers. First, rethink your shopping habits. Shopping secondhand can save money while cutting waste. Plus, thrifters often find luxury or valuable items at dirt-cheap prices. Learn about better alternatives in this guide to breaking up with fast fashion. While the scale of the issue is massive, awareness and action from everyday shoppers can help hold retailers accountable for the true cost of cheap goods.
