British police have arrested two teenagers in connection with a weekend arson attack on a synagogue in northwest London, as authorities warn of a recent rise in incidents targeting Jewish sites. Officials say the suspects, ages 19 and 17, were taken into custody overnight in connection with the fire at a synagogue in the borough of Harrow. The extent of the damage has not been fully detailed, but the incident has raised concerns among community leaders. Police say the arrests are part of a broader investigation into a string of attacks in recent weeks.

Authorities say a man killed eight children — including seven believed to be his own — and shot two women in a series of shootings at two homes in Shreveport, marking the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. in more than two years. Officials say the victims ranged in age from 3 to 11 years old. Another child survived after jumping from the roof of one of the homes and is expected to recover. Police say the suspect fled the scene, leading officers on a pursuit that ended when law enforcement opened fire, killing him. Family members identified the two women who were shot as the mothers of the gunman’s children. A relative said the suspect and one of the women had been arguing over their separation and were scheduled to appear in court the following day.

Hopes for renewed diplomacy between the United States and Iran are facing new uncertainty after the U.S. seized an Iranian cargo ship over the weekend, escalating tensions in the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials say the vessel was taken for allegedly evading a maritime blockade, a move Iran quickly condemned as provocative. Iranian military leaders have warned of a possible response, accusing Washington of acting in bad faith at a sensitive moment. The seizure comes as Pakistan works to broker a new round of talks between the two sides. Officials there say discussions had been tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, but Iran has not confirmed whether it will participate following the latest developments. Meanwhile, a fragile ceasefire tied to ongoing regional tensions is set to expire midweek, raising concerns that the situation could further deteriorate. The unrest has already rippled through global markets. Oil prices surged in response, with Brent crude climbing to around $95 a barrel. Iranian officials warn that continued instability in the region could have lasting economic consequences worldwide.
