Despite restrictions, digital spending hits record in US midterms

Even as online platforms tightened rules for political ads, digital spending set new records in the 2018 US midterm elections and appears poised for further growth in 2020. Digital media campaign spending rose 2,400 percent from the 2014 midterms to $1.8 billion, roughly 20 percent of the total $8.9 billion in ad spending, according to preliminary estimates from the research firm Borrell Associates. Online spending, much of it on social networks like Facebook, has been a significant factor in campaigns for a decade, but tighter rules imposed by digital giants in the wake of the 2016 election could have curbed some of that growth.

Israel government in turmoil as defence minister quits and calls for elections over Gaza ceasefire

Israel’s hawkish defence minister has resigned in protest at Tuesday’s ceasefire agreement with Hamas, accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of “surrendering to terror”. The resignation of Avigdor Lieberman, one of Mr Netanyahu’s coalition partners, rocks the Israeli government and could trigger fresh elections in the Jewish state.  Mr Netanyahu looks likely to take over the defence ministry himself, meaning he would simultaneously serve as Israel’s prime minister, defence minister, foreign minister and health minister.  Mr Lieberman said he was quitting over Israel’s decision to accept a ceasefire with Hamas rather than more forcefully confront the Islamist militant group in Gaza.  "What happened yesterday - the truce combined with the process with Hamas - is surrendering to terror. It has no other meaning," he said. "What we're doing now as a state is buying short-term quiet, with the price being severe long-term damage to national security.” He called for fresh elections “as early as possible”.  The resignation of Avigdor Lieberman, one of Mr Netanyahu’s coalition partners, has rocked the Israeli government and could trigger fresh elections in the Jewish state Credit: REUTERS/Ammar Awad Mr Lieberman is withdrawing his five Yisrael Beiteinu MPs from Mr Netanyahu’s coalition, meaning the government now has only 61 seats in the 120 member parliament.  Mr Netanyahu is likely to try to keep going with his reduced majority, rather than plunge into elections in the aftermath of the fighting in Gaza. But if other ministers walk out over the ceasefire deal, he may have no choice but to go to the polls.  Elections must happen by November 2019 but most politicians expect Mr Netanyahu will call them earlier than that.  Mr Netanyahu had been bracing for attacks from the Right since agreeing to the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire deal on Tuesday, ending 24 hours of fighting which left one person dead in Israel and seven in Gaza. Residents of the southern city of Sderot, a regular target for Hamas’ rockets, burned tires and blocked the streets in protest at the ceasefire, saying the government was being held hostage by Hamas. #BREAKING: 500 Protesters in the southern city of Sderot after the decision on a ceasefire: "We have become a hostage of Hamas - they will decide when I shower, or sleep" pic.twitter.com/LXMggmM1v0— Amichai Stein (@AmichaiStein1) November 13, 2018 Speaking before the defence minister’s resignation, Mr Netanyahu defended the ceasefire agreement and said the public could not necessarily understand all the reasons for his decision.  “I hear the voices of the residents of the south. Believe me, they are precious to me, their words penetrate my heart. But together with the heads of the security forces, I see the overall picture of Israel's security, which I cannot share with the public,” he said at a ceremony to commemorate David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister. "At these moments, leadership is not to do the easy thing; leadership is to do the right thing, even if it is difficult." Hamas immediately hailed Mr Lieberman’s resignation as victory for its fighters. “This is a political victory for Gaza, which caused this political earthquake within the occupation,” the group said.  Mr Lieberman heads Yisrael Beiteinu, a secular Right-wing party which draws its support mainly from Israel’s Russian population. He served as Mr Netanyahu’s chief of staff in the late 1990s but split off from him because he wanted a harder line against the Palestinians.  The 60-year-old, who is originally from Moldova, had a history of making extreme public statements while he was in opposition. He once promised that if he became defence minister he would assassinate Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ leader, within 48 hours.  He proved to be more restrained when he actually took over the defence ministry in May 2016 as part of a deal to join Mr Netanyahu’s government but he remained a hawk on Gaza. He previously served as foreign minister in earlier governments. In his resignation statement, he said he had objected to Mr Netanyahu’s decision to allow Qatar to send $15 million in cash to Gaza to pay civil servant salaries.  The prime minister allowed the money into Gaza as part of preliminary talks on reaching a long-term ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Those talks appear to be in tatters after the violence between Sunday and Tuesday.

For months, the struggle to work out a temporary fix for the Irish border stood in the way of a Brexit deal. Now, it turns out the solution looks neither temporary nor solely for the Irish border. As the agreement gets picked over by Theresa May’s Cabinet, it will become clear that in signing up to the so-called backstop to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, the U.K. may be committing itself to something more permanent.

Thousands of firefighters battled blazes in northern and southern California on Tuesday as body recovery teams searched the remains of houses and charred cars for victims of the deadliest wildfire in the history of the US state.

U.S. to step up sanctions on Iran, 'squeeze them until the pips squeak'

A former high school coach of the gunman who killed 12 people at a Southern California bar says he was a “sadistic” teenager who joined the military so he would “kill for his country”. Evie Cluke says that years before his shooting rampage, the 28-year-old former marine was already displaying volatile and intimidating behaviour. The educator, who coached Long on Newbury Park High School's track team in 2007 and 2008, said he was a “ticking time bomb” who constantly lost his temper, threw tantrums and would scream at coaches when he didn't like their decisions.
