More than a million people were moved to safety in eastern China after Typhoon Dolphin made landfall. Authorities warned that several days of intense rain could bring widespread flooding and landslides as the storm moved north and inland.

Typhoon Dolphin, which struck China’s coast on Sunday, is gradually losing strength after making landfall. Despite weakening, the system is expected to produce widespread heavy rain across the country this week. The rainfall could put crops at risk, creating potential agricultural damage as the storm’s effects continue.
Typhoon Dolphin, the year’s 13th typhoon, came ashore along the Zhejiang coast on Sunday. Its passage caused some trees beside roads around Hangzhou’s West Lake to snap or fall. The reported damage was concentrated around the lakeside area, where roadside vegetation was affected by the storm. No other consequences are described in the report.
Typhoon Dolphin came ashore twice in eastern China on Sunday evening. The landfalls followed Beijing’s issuance of its highest-level storm warning. More than 1,000 flights were canceled as the storm affected transport. Some rail services were also suspended, adding to the disruption across the region.

AFP News AgencyBrent crude prices moved higher as Tehran said the critical waterway would not reopen without major concessions from the United States. The demand has cast doubt over prospects for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Uncertainty surrounding the passage is weighing on the outlook for oil markets. The development keeps attention focused on the standoff between Iran and the US.
AAl JazeeraOriginal★★★★☆2026-08-10 03:24
Oil prices moved higher on Monday as uncertainty persisted over whether the Strait of Hormuz would reopen soon. Iran said an agreement with Oman to establish new shipping lanes was nearing completion. Tehran nevertheless maintained that the United States must satisfy additional conditions. The timing of any reopening therefore remains unclear, keeping attention focused on the potential disruption to oil transport through the strait.
Iran says reopening the Strait of Hormuz depends on the United States making concessions on several demands. Tehran says it is not holding direct talks with Washington. It also says Iran will not initiate such talks while the US continues to breach an interim agreement signed in June. The position ties any renewed dialogue to compliance with that agreement.
Iran’s national security chief has presented demands that Washington must meet before Tehran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The conditions include ending the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, paying compensation for damage caused by the war and releasing Iranian assets that have been frozen. Separately, Iran and Oman say they are nearing an agreement on how to manage the strategic waterway. Further insight is provided by France 24’s international affairs editor.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until the United States accepts Tehran’s conditions, including compensation for war damage. The force describes the strait as a theatre of war rather than merely a waterway and says the closure will continue until the enemy agrees to all demands. President Masoud Pezeshkian says this is the best moment for an agreement with Washington, portraying Iran as cohesive, powerful and victorious in the war. Oman condemns repeated attacks on vessels transiting the strait without assigning blame, while calling its shipping negotiations with Iran positive and constructive.
Iran says negotiations with Oman on reopening the Strait of Hormuz are approaching their final stage. Tehran says reopening the waterway remains conditional on additional terms and compensation for what it describes as breaches of the June agreement. Its new demands include the lifting of a US naval blockade on the strait and Iranian ports, along with the withdrawal of US military forces from the area. Scott Lucas, a professor of international politics at University College Dublin’s Clinton Institute, provides further insight.

Despite the Israeli leader’s position, Washington expects Israel to comply with its requests concerning Gaza. The official’s comment suggests the White House does not regard Netanyahu’s public rejection as decisive. The report highlights a disconnect between the two sides over the Gaza plan.

Israeli representatives are cooperating on the ground in the Gaza Strip with the Board of Peace, a newspaper reports. Their work includes efforts to reduce the intensity of strikes on the enclave. The cooperation is continuing despite Israel’s rejection of the organization’s Gaza plan. The report portrays the two sides as maintaining practical coordination while disagreeing over the proposed plan.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will not withdraw from Gaza unless Hamas fully disarms. His position puts Israel at odds with a US-backed roadmap that Hamas has endorsed. The disagreement centers on whether withdrawal can take place before Hamas gives up its weapons. The conflicting positions cast doubt on the plan’s prospects.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would reject a roadmap intended to advance peace in the Gaza Strip. The roadmap was presented under a US-led peace plan and includes steps toward the disarmament of the Islamic organization Hamas. His declaration leaves the prospects for achieving peace unclear. The situation surrounding a possible peace process therefore remains difficult to foresee.
Palestinians say Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision has left no clear route toward peace. One person described the situation bluntly: “We’re going backwards.”
Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected a US-backed 15-point peace proposal for Gaza. The move is described as a rare public break with Donald Trump and a rebuke of pressure to end the wars without Israel’s agreement. Netanyahu said the IDF would not withdraw until Hamas was disarmed. He also dismissed what he called rumours of Israeli weakness and withdrawals on every front, while objecting to efforts to conclude conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran without Israel’s buy-in.
