Washington (AFP) - A fabricated audio clip of a US high school principal prompted a torrent of outrage, leaving him battling allegations of racism and anti-Semitism in a case that has sparked new alarm about AI manipulation. Police charged a disgruntled staff member at the Maryland school with manufacturing the recording that surfaced in January -- purportedly of principal Eric Eiswert ranting against Jews and "ungrateful Black kids" -- using artificial intelligence. The clip, which left administrators of Pikesville High School fielding a flood of angry calls and threats, underscores the ease ...

New York (AFP) - Pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked US campuses for weeks were more muted Friday after a series of clashes with police, mass arrests and a stern White House directive to restore order. Police in Manhattan cleared an encampment at New York University after sunrise, with video posted to social media by an official showing protesters exiting their tents and dispersing when ordered to do so. The scene appeared relatively calm compared to crackdowns at other campuses around the country -- and some worldwide -- where protests over Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza have multip...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Dozens of overturned tents, "Free Palestine" signs strewn on the lawn, keffiyehs and flashlights discarded in haste: not much of the pro-Palestinian protest encampment was left Thursday morning at the University of California, Los Angeles. After a week of occupying a central area of the sprawling campus in protest at Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, police in riot gear forcibly removed demonstrators in an operation that lasted through the night. In tense scenes, officers used flashbang explosions to disorient protesters and disperse crowds. Eventually, securit...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden broke his virtual silence Thursday on the nationwide Gaza campus protests, saying the United States was not authoritarian but insisting "order must prevail." In a televised address from the White House, Biden added that there was "no place" for anti-Semitism on university campuses, which have been roiled by pro-Palestinian demonstrations amid Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza. The 81-year-old Democrat -- whose reelection bid in November faces a challenge from voters opposed to the war -- said there had to be a balance between the right to peaceful protest and...

By Cecil MORELLA Manille (AFP) - Ella Araza, 10 ans, est assise sur une minuscule boîte en plastique dans son bidonville de Manille, essayant de terminer ses devoirs avant que le soleil de l'après-midi ne fasse grimper les températures à des niveaux insupportables. Les Philippines ont fermé plus de 47.000 écoles dans tout le pays à partir de lundi, alors que la température à Manille a atteint un niveau record de 38,8 degrés Celsius au cours du week-end. Plus de 7.000 écoles étaient encore fermées jeudi, dont l'école élémentaire d'Ella, dans la capitale. De nombreuses écoles de ce pays tropical...

Washington (AFP) - What does Joe Biden have to say about the rowdy student protests against Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza that have rocked American college campuses in recent weeks? Almost nothing. The US president has so far avoided the contentious subject as it is likely to complicate his reelection campaign. The 81-year-old Democrat, who will almost certainly face Republican Donald Trump in November's presidential election, has publicly addressed the demonstrations only once and briefly, even as students have clashed with police and several hundred people have been arrested at universitie...

New York (AFP) - As a storm broke over New York, riot police mounted a tall ladder on a reinforced truck to penetrate a building at Columbia University and clear out barricaded pro-Palestinian protesters. Scores of armed, helmet-clad NYPD officers arrived in the north-west of Manhattan on Tuesday evening, accompanied by buses and trucks, as they set up barriers around the grounds of the prestigious institution. Columbia, which counts 37,000 students and is typically open to the public, was entirely surrounded. Called into action after a request for help from university president Minouche Shafi...
