INTERNATIONAL: An Arab gunman killed at least five people in a Tel Aviv suburb on Tuesday 29th March before he was fatally shot, the national ambulance service said, in the third deadly attack in Israel in a week.

"Israel is facing a wave of murderous Arab terror," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett tweeted after the shootings in Bnei Brak, a Jewish ultra-Orthodox city on the outskirts of Israel's commercial capital.

The shooting raised to 11 the number of people killed by Arab gunmen in Israel over the past week, the sharpest spike in attacks on city streets in years.

Israeli media reports, quoting unidentified security officials, said the assailant was a Palestinian from a village near the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said he shot dead five people.

The recaptured town of Irpin, near Ukraine's capital Kyiv, was an eerie wasteland of burnt out homes on Tuesday (March 29).

The devastation of the town testified to the horrors of the fighting and bombardment there. Bodies of dead civilians lay scattered on the streets as stray dogs roamed between fallen trees and debris.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Irpin's mayor on Monday (March 28) said the town had been retaken by Ukrainian forces.

At peace talks in Turkey on Tuesday, Russia promised to scale down military operations around Ukraine's capital and north.

Russia's invasion has been halted on most fronts by stiff resistance from Ukrainian forces who have recaptured territory even as civilians are trapped in besieged cities.

More than a month since the invasion began, the defense of Ukraine's capital Kyiv has played out in heavy clashes in places like Irpin, northwest of Kyiv.

When the histories are written, towns and villages like it may be minor details, but they are where the Russian advance has been halted, sometimes by small, mobile Ukrainian units wielding anti-tank weapons shipped in from abroad.

Russia describes its actions in Ukraine as a "special operation" with the aim of demilitarizing its neighbor. It has denied targeting civilians.

And… Haitian demonstrators took to the streets of Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday (March 29) to demand an end to the rising insecurity that has hit the Caribbean island in recent months.

Protesters marched against kidnapping, murder, and rape, which they say is happening daily with impunity.

Demonstrators blocked streets and set fire to barricades to demand Prime Minister Ariel Henry's government do more to address a crime wave.

The rally in Port-au-Prince coincided with the 35th anniversary of the
