Wout van Aert wins Tour of Britain title as Carlos Rodríguez takes final stage

• Van Aert’s second-place finish enough to secure second title
• ‘I had a really hard time. I didn’t think it was possible’

Second place on the climbing stage into Caerphilly secured Wout van Aert his second overall title in the Tour of Britain. Compared with his 2021 victory , however, this was far from straightforward although his fine form had been clear from day one.

Through the hills of south Wales, Ineos’s Spanish starlet Carlos Rodríguez, the eventual stage winner, formed an impromptu alliance with local rider Steve Williams to push Van Aert to the edge, in the first of the eight stages where the Belgian’s Jumbo-Visma team were unable to exert any real grip on proceedings.

After Williams – who was guesting for Great Britain here – and Rodríguez had sprung clear on the climb of Bryn Du, high above Aberdare in the heart of the Rhondda, Van Aert’s teammates had been scattered to the four winds on the high moorland and the two strongest climbers in the race were rapidly forging a healthy advantage ahead of a small chase group, Van Aert faced the prospect of losing the race lead he had taken in winning Thursday’s stage into Felixstowe . “I had a really hard time, I didn’t think it was possible to take the general classification.”

The 28-year-old’s only option was to remain calm and hope that enough of his teammates could battle their way up to him, and that they and other squads would take the strain before the race arrived at the final brace of climbs over Caerphilly Mountain in the last eight miles. “I tried to stay calm, as I knew there were two climbers in front, and they would spend a lot of energy getting to the finish circuit.”

In the hiatus while he waited for Steven Kruijswijk and Nathan Van Hooydonck to catch up, Williams and Rodríguez raced into a lead that briefly exceeded 90 seconds.

With several other teams assisting Jumbo-Visma, the duo’s lead evaporated like the puddles from the rain showers that had greeted the race when it entered the hills, and on reaching Caerphilly they were only a handful of seconds ahead.

The first climb of the mountain broke Williams, a 27-year-old from Aberystwyth who has quietly forged a good career racing for the Bahrain-Merida and Israel-Premier Tech team, and who this year had won the Arctic Race of Norway. Rodríguez forged ahead on his own, but although he has had an outstanding year with a stage win and fifth overall in the Tour de France, he was less of a threat to Van Aert, having lost time in a crash in the Cotswolds on Saturday’s stage into Gloucester.

The Spaniard needed to finish 40sec ahead of Van Aert and his 20sec advantage with one 7km lap of the finish circuit put the race in the balance. With no teammates left at his side, the Belgian had to control the Spaniard’s lead while simultaneously ensuring that he did not crack, and that he did not lose ground to three threats for the overall title: Rodríguez’s Ineos teammate Magnus Sheffield, the Norwegian Tobias Johannessen and the Australian Damien Howson, all of whom were a slender 3sec behind him overall.

While Rodríguez did give the Ineos team a consolatory stage win after the withdrawal of their marquee rider Tom Pidcock on Saturday, he was only 11sec ahead of Van Aert on the line, giving the Belgian his third road race win of 2023. He has had a frustrating mid-season, and it was about time he got the rub of the green.

This was a fine crescendo to a slow-burning week marked by six mass finishes in the first six stages, with 52 riders level on time 3sec behind Van Aert after Friday’s stage into Harlow , but it was far from plain sailing, with this most important climbing stage in effect split into two by a lengthy pause from racing with between 87km and 77km to go, when the race briefly stopped twice and then took a diversion to avoid a stretch of road which had been closed by an accident involving a motorcyclist. The incident was unrelated to the race, but it meant that the entire convoy had to be guided through back streets with racing neutralised and the bunch travelling at controlled speed.

Tour of Britain: Wout van Aert attacks solo to win stage 5

Jumbo-Visma continue to dominate

Jumbo-Visma extended their winning run at the Tour of Britain to five days, continuing the Dutch team’s dominant week as Wout van Aert soloed to victory a kilometre from the line to win stage 5 in Felixstowe.

The day looked all set to conclude with another sprint finish, and likely another Olav Kooij win, as Jumbo-Visma controlled the race in the closing kilometres, but rather than set things up for the 21-year-old, the squad pulled a surprise move heading under the flamme rouge.

With Van Aert seemingly ready to provide the final touch to another sublime lead-out as Edoardo Affini pulled off the front, Kooij let a gap go heading around a left-hand bend.

That move let Van Aert steal a march on their sprint rivals, who were caught totally unprepared for a late attack. Nobody could muster a response from behind on the headwind run to the line, leaving Van Aert to claim his third win of the season and with it the race lead.

Three seconds behind him, Ethan Vernon (Great Britain) led home the peloton, outpacing Danny van Poppel (Bora-Hansgrohe) to fill out the podium.

Jumbo-Visma had played their part in controlling the peloton for much of the day but were caught out at an unmarshalled corner 8km from the finish line. The team rallied around on the suburban run-in, however, making it back to the front for the final 3km alongside Trinity Racing, Bolton Equities Black Spoke, and Uno-X.

First Nathan Van Hooydonck and then Edoardo Affini took up the work on the front, setting up another big sprint finish. But clearly, the team had a different idea, one that caught the riders from Movistar, Bora-Hansgrohe, and Ineos Grenadiers behind by surprise.

The late attack provided welcome respite from a procession of sprint finishes at the race, even if it was yet another win for the Dutch powerhouse team – their 57th of the 2023 season.

Over four hours earlier, Callum Ormiston (Global 6), Joey Rosskopf (Q36.5), and Abram Stockman (TDT-Unibet) had jumped from the peloton to make the breakaway on the longest day of the race – a 192km out-and-back course hitting the North Sea coast.

The trio got away after an early move including mountain classification leader James Fouché (Bolton Equities Black Spoke) went away on the first of two third-classification climbs of the day. The New Zealander took his KOM total to 37 over the top – 17 up on second-placed Harry Tanfield (TDT-Unibet) before the break established itself 162km out.

10km later they passed the second and last climb of the day and went on to enjoy a three-minute advantage over the peloton, which was controlled, predictably, by Jumbo-Visma, Movistar, and Ineos Grenadiers.

The two WorldTour teams largely held the gap around the two-minute mark on a quiet mid-section of the stage, while the breakaway trio entered the final 50km at 1:50 up on the peloton, though the gap gradually came down as the finish line loomed, hitting the minute mark at 30km out as the pace was upped behind.

At 20 to go, still with the same teams leading the chase, the break had just 30 seconds in hand as Ormiston dropped away from the break. The remaining duo battled on, but Stockman dropped 12km out before Rosskopf – who did well to push on alone – was eventually brought back 5km from the line.

Jumbo-Visma’s brief mishap 8km out provided some drama on the run towards Felixstowe, but they soon got back to the front, lining up in their familiar lead-out formation for the final 3km. Other teams joined them in the pacemaking, but nobody could wrest control for a sprint which never came.

In the end, it was a day which saw Olav Kooij finally beaten at the 2023 Tour of Britain, but it was another Jumbo-Visma man, the race’s superstar in Wout van Aert, who took the spoils.

Chef Jose Andres mourns WCK workers killed in Gaza

Celebrity Chef Jose Andres says the seven aid workers killed by Israeli forces in Gaza were “the best of humanity” during a memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral that was attended by hundreds.

The attack on an aid convoy for Andres’s charity, World Central Kitchen (WCK), earlier this month prompted worldwide condemnation.

At the service, Andres praised each of the workers – Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, John Chapman, Jacob Flickinger, Lalzawmi Frankcom, James Henderson, James Kirby, and Damian Sobol – during an emotional eulogy, his voice cracking repeatedly.

“The seven souls we mourn today were there so that hungry people could eat,” he said, referring to residents of Gaza. “They risked everything to feed people they did not know.

“They were the best of humanity. Their examples should inspire us to do better, to be better,” he said.

Andres said WCK continues to demand an investigation into the actions of the Israeli forces against its workers and that the official explanation was not good enough.

“There is no excuse for these killings. None,” he said.

The protesters at George Washington University are not planning to leave anytime soon

Reporting from Washington DC, US

The students here at George Washington University have the same template as the students at Columbia.

They’re looking for the university to divest, to declare what interests they have in companies linked to Israel, and also, they’re looking to make sure that anyone who is involved in these protests will get an amnesty afterwards.

However, in the last hour or so, we’ve also seen a number of barriers placed on the edge of the square. They were very quickly removed, but they’re not far away.

The number of police in nearby streets has increased. We are told the Secret Service was here as well, but they have cycled away and are no longer on site.

A number of accesses to the square have been blocked, and in the building over my shoulder, the police have set up essentially a temporary command structure where they are talking about what they can do.

Now, seven o’clock local time … was given essentially as a deadline for the encampment to go away. It’s not clear then what the university administrators will do.

What is clear is that the Metropolitan Police Department has been called in to help because the numbers are just too big for George Washington’s own police to deal with.

The mayor has said that it has to be done peacefully if the protesters are to be moved.

The people here are not planning to leave anytime soon. They will stay until the university meets its demands.

Houthis claim to have targeted a ship in the Gulf of Aden

The spokesperson for the Iran-aligned group, Yahya Saree, says it targeted an Israeli ship, the MSC Darwin, in the Gulf of Aden.

The Houthis have been attacking ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November in what they say is a  campaign of solidarity with Palestinians and against Israel’s continuing war on Gaza .

Britain said on Thursday the Royal Navy warship HMS Diamond had shot down a missile fired by the Houthis from Yemen targeting a merchant vessel.

“The UK continues to be at the forefront of the international response to the Iranian-backed Houthis’ dangerous attacks on commercial vessels, which have claimed the lives of international mariners,” British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said in a statement

Saree said the group had also fired a number of “ballistic and winged missiles” at several targets around Eilat in southern Israel.

France threatens new sanctions against Israeli settlers

President Emmanuel Macron’s office says France is considering extending sanctions on Israeli settlers behind violence against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank after the prime minister spoke with Jordan’s King Abdullah II.

The two leaders “firmly condemned recent Israeli announcements about settlements” in the occupied West Bank, “which are contrary to international law”, Macron’s office said in a statement.

On February 28, “extremist Israeli settlers” were banned from entering French territory. Last week, the EU imposed sanctions on four Israeli settlers and two settler organisations for violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.

Since the start of the year, Israeli authorities have declared nearly 1,100 hectares (2,720 acres) of the West Bank to be “state land” – twice as much as in the previous record year in 1999, according to the settlement watchdog Peace Now.

Palestinian PM thanks Germany for plans to reinstate UNRWA funding

Muhammad Mustafa says he “appreciates” Germany’s announcement this week that it plans to resume funding for UNRWA, the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency.

Germany had paused funding for the organisation, which provides services to Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and countries like Lebanon and Jordan, earlier this year, after the Israeli government accused it of complicity in the October 7 attacks.

An independent review of the allegations by former French FM Catherine Colonna found that Israel had not provided significant evidence to back up its claims.

WATCH: How Gaza’s children are preparing for Israel’s invasion of Rafah

As an Israeli ground assault on Gaza’s last “safe zone” looms, two children in Rafah brace for it.

“We’re afraid people will resort to killing each other for food,” 11-year-old Husam says as he recounts his daily battle to secure basic necessities like food, water and sanitation in Rafah during Israel’s war on Gaza.

Husam is one of more than 600,000 children who have sought refuge in the city, the designated “safe zone” in southern Gaza. But since March, the Israeli government has threatened to extend a military invasion there, too, casting a shadow of fear that has been building for months. “A person’s psyche wears out with fear. It’s a slow death,” Husam says as he reflects on what lies ahead.

Israel places ‘roadblock’ to delay ‘Gaza Freedom Flotilla’: Aid coalition

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), a movement composed of campaigns and initiatives working to end the Israeli blockade of Gaza, says its aid ship bound for the enclave has been delayed from leaving Turkey.

The coalition said in a statement, “All the required paperwork has been submitted to the port authority, and the cargo has been loaded and prepared for the trip to Gaza.”

“However, today we received word of an administrative roadblock initiated by Israel in an attempt to prevent our departure”.

“Israel is pressuring the Republic of Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from our lead ship – Akdeniz [“Mediterranean]. This triggered a request for an additional inspection, this one by the flag state, that delays our April 26 planned departure”.

The coalition said this was another “example of Israel obstructing the delivery of life-saving aid to the people in Gaza who face a deliberately created famine”, adding that it was not the first time Israel had used “these kinds of tactics to stop our ships from sailing”.

Aid workers from 40 countries are due to deliver 5,000 tonnes of aid to Gaza using the Akdeniz.

US State Department Arabic spokesperson resigns in opposition to Gaza policy

The Arabic language spokesperson of the US State Department has resigned, citing her opposition to Washington’s policy related to Israel’s war on Gaza.

Hala Rharrit was also the Dubai Regional Media Hub’s deputy director and joined the State Department almost two decades ago as a political and human rights officer, the department’s website showed.

She wrote on LinkedIn, “I resigned April 2024 after 18 years of distinguished service in opposition to the United States’ Gaza policy”.

Nearly a month earlier, Annelle Sheline of the State Department’s human rights bureau announced her resignation, and State Department official Josh Paul resigned in October.

A senior official in the US Education Department, Tariq Habash, who is Palestinian-American, had stepped down in January

Israeli military says it is providing CENTCOM with security, logistics for maritime aid initiative

The Israeli military says it has approved collaborative efforts for the Joint Logisitics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) initiative led by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM).

It said it would provide security and logistics support for the JLOTS initiative, which includes a temporary floating pier to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

As we reported earlier, a United Nations team visiting the pier had to seek shelter in a bunker “for some time” yesterday after the area came under fire.

Gaza Civil Defence issues heat warning to displaced Palestinians

As temperatures soar in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Civil Defence has warned that conditions are ripe for “the expansion of the spread of epidemics and diseases among [displaced Palestinians], especially among children and pregnant women”.

“Drink plenty of water, try to ventilate the place, keep children away from the sun’s rays, especially at peak heat times, and be sure to wipe their bodies with cold water constantly”, spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said in a statement on Telegram, speaking to the thousands of displaced Palestinians currently sheltering in tents.

US says Gaza aid pier construction has begun

Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder told reporters that construction of the pier, announced in March by US President Joe Biden, has started.

The pier will receive ships carrying desperately needed aid for the people of Gaza, thousands of whom are facing imminent famine .

“I can confirm that US military vessels, to include the USNS Benavidez, have begun to construct the initial stages of the temporary pier and causeway at sea,” Ryder told reporters.

The UN has warned Gaza faces famine and has complained of “overwhelming obstacles” to getting aid into and distributing it around the enclave.

Ryder said the Pentagon was tracking some type of mortar attack in Gaza that caused minimal damage in the staging area for the pier. The UN stated earlier today that one of its teams, inspecting the staging area, had to take cover for several hours when bombs struck nearby.

Ryder added that US forces had not started moving anything to that area yet and there were no US forces on the ground.

UN says mandate required to take custody of Gaza mass grave evidence

Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for the United Nations secretary-general, told Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey during a press briefing that while the organisation is collecting information on mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital , a mandate is required from a UN legislative body in order to take custody of any evidence.

“We’ve called for an international investigation. How that will take place? It’s unclear at this time. There are certain parts of this organisation that have the authority to do that,” Dujarric said.

“In the meantime, it’s important that all forensic evidence be well preserved,” he added.

It is not antisemitic, pro-Hamas to point out number of Palestinians killed, wounded in Gaza: Sanders

US Senator Bernie Sanders has told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a post on X, that it was “not antisemitic or pro-Hamas” to point out that “in a little over six months”, his “extremist government” has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000.

In an attached statement, Sanders said his comments were in response to the Israeli prime minister’s remarks yesterday that criticism of the Israeli government’s policies was antisemitic.

“Mr. Netanyahu. Antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to many millions of people. But, please do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal policies of your extremist and racist government,” Sanders wrote in his closing remarks.

No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children. You will not distract us from this immoral war. pic.twitter.com/oDaiyU4ipD — Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) April 25, 2024

It’s time to declare Israel a rogue state

Another day, another tragedy in Gaza. At the time of writing, rescuers were pulling bodies out of the rubble after an Israeli air strike on a residential building in southern Gaza’s city of Rafah.

Meanwhile, a few miles away in Khan Younis, the grisly effort of digging up bodies buried in mass graves on the grounds of the Nasser Hospital continues.

The Palestinian death toll is now more than 34,300, and 1.1 million people in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.

The world is also on edge, as many fear a wider regional war after Iran sent a retaliatory barrage of drones and missiles into Israel following Israel’s strike on the Iranian consular building in Damascus.

Since then, Iran’s air defences brought down three suspected Israeli drones over the central city of Isfahan. Ignoring calls for caution from around the world – including from its closest partner and protector, the United States – Israel remains determined to conduct a costly ground operation in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of civilians are sheltering.

Commentators and political figures have declared that Israel is a “liability” and that its leaders have “lost” their way.

Pro-Palestine student demonstrators in Washington, DC say they are ‘facing repression’ from their universities

Students from several universities in the Washington Metropolitan Area have joined forces to demand their schools cut ties to Israel and for an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Yasmine, a student leading the protests that have grown into an encampment, says they are calling for their universities to “divest from any companies that sell weapons or technology” to Israel.

They are also calling on their universities to drop all charges against students “who spoke up or students who are pro-Palestine”, Yasmine told Al Jazeera.

“Many of us are … facing repression and charges and hearings from our universities for simply protesting,” she said.

Many of the protesters, she added, wear masks because of the “heavy targeting and the heavy doxing … against us”.

Students do expect the police to intervene later today in a bid to break up the gathering, according to Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane, reporting from Washington, DC.

‘Clean water remains scarce in Rafah’: UNRWA

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees ( UNRWA ) says there is a lack of sufficient clean water and waste disposal in Rafah.

In a post on X, it said that hot temperatures in conjunction with these shortages have “sparked new fears of disease outbreaks”.

Israeli gov’t seeks another extension on ultra-Orthodox conscription dispute

The Israeli government has sought another deferral on a looming Supreme Court-enforced deadline for it to come up with a new military conscription plan that would address mainstream anger at exemptions granted to ultra-Orthodox Jews .

The court, hearing appeals that described the decades-old waiver as discriminatory, had given March 31 as the original deadline. That was extended to April 30 at the request of the government, which argued it was busy waging its war on Gaza.

In a new request, the Justice Ministry asked for a deferral to May 20, citing a lag in appointing a government lawyer and “significant national-security events” of recent days that had halted government work on a conscription blueprint.

The ultra-Orthodox conscription waiver has become especially charged as Israel’s armed forces, made up mostly of teenage conscripts and older civilians mobilised for reserve duty, are overstretched.

The ultra-Orthodox make up 13 percent of Israel’s 10 million population, a figure expected to reach 19 percent by 2035 due to the community’s high birth rates.

Egypt in renewed mediation push for Gaza truce: Report

Egypt has asked for a follow-up meeting with Israel in renewed efforts to mediate a deal for a ceasefire and the release of captives in the Gaza Strip, two Egyptian security sources told the Reuters news agency.

Egyptian, Israeli and US officials held in-person and remote meetings on Wednesday that sought concessions to break a deadlock in months-long negotiations for a truce in Israel’s war on Gaza .

Egypt believed Israel had shown more willingness to allow displaced Palestinians from Gaza to return towards the north of the enclave in a way that limited security checks and procedures for those not suspected of militant activity, they added.

The ability of civilians to return to northern Gaza unimpeded and the pull-back or repositioning of Israeli forces have been sticking points in previous rounds of ceasefire negotiations in which Egypt and Qatar have acted as mediators.

A meeting between Egyptian and Israeli officials was expected to take place on Friday in Cairo, the sources said, with further meetings with Hamas contingent on the result.

Pier site in Gaza comes under fire during UN visit

A UN spokesperson says a UN team in the Gaza Strip visiting the site for a pier and the staging area for maritime aid operations had to seek shelter in a bunker “for some time” yesterday after the area came under fire.

Two rounds landed about 100 meters (300 feet) away, but there were no injuries and the team was eventually able to continue the tour, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.

The pier has been criticised by the UN and aid agencies as a complicated workaround for delivering aid via existing land routes, as calls on Israel to allow sufficient aid into the Gaza Strip through its land borders continue.
