At least seventy-three people have reportedly been killed in Beit Lahia

A review of the week with the latest news.

Israel has conducted further strikes in northern Gaza, where local reports say that more than 70 people have been killed.
There are serious doubts in the United States about whether all voters will accept the results of next month鈥檚 presidential election. Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance continue to cast doubt on the result four years ago. And those doubts about voting have in extreme cases inspired threats and harassment against elections volunteers. The 麻豆社鈥檚 Mike Wendling has been speaking to some of them in rural Wisconsin.
Also, Booktok, a community on the social media network TikTok, which allows book readers to share opinions on books and get recommendations from others, has
become so popular that its owners have announced that they鈥檙e going to publish real physical books. We speak to Rachel Craw, a writer from New Zealand, who has been picked for publication.
To discuss this and more, Simon Robinson, an executive editor at Reuters, and Maria Margaronis, who is a writer and broadcaster. CREDIT: Palestinians inspect the site of an Israeli strike on a house, in Beit Lahia on 20/05/2024 Reuters
