President Donald Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer didn't discuss with him in their meeting yesterday the issue of recognizing a Palestinian state, according to Axios' Barak Ravid.
Earlier on Tuesday, Starmer said Britain will recognize Palestine in September unless Israel meets specific conditions, including allowing for a ceasefire in the war-torn Gaza Strip, permitting United Nations aid into the territory as it battles widespread starvation and more.
Trump told reporter aboard Air Force One that recognizing Palestine would serve Hamas and that the U.S. "is not in that camp," Ravid posted on X.

Pakistan resumes forced expulsions of 1.4 million Afghan refugees despite UN concerns
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Authorities in Pakistan have resumed the forced deportations of Afghan refugees after the federal government declined to extend a key deadline for their stay, officials said Monday. The decision affects approximately 1.4 million Afghans holding Proof of Registration cards, whose legal status expired at the end of June. Many had hoped for a one-year extension to settle personal affairs, such as selling property or concluding business, before returning to Afghanistan. In addition to PoR card holders, around 800,000 Afghans hold Afghan Citizen Cards. Police say they also are living in the country illegally and being detained prior to deportations in the eastern Punjab, southwestern Balochistan and southern Sindh province. Monday's decision drew criticism from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the U.N. refugee agency. At least 1.2 million Afghans have been forced to return from Iran and Pakistan this year, according to a June UNHCR report. Repatriations on such a massive scale have the potential to destabilize the fragile situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban government came into power in 2021. A July 31 government notification seen by The Associated Press confirms Pakistan's decision to repatriate all Afghan nationals holding expired PoR cards. It states Afghans without valid passports and Pakistani visas are in the country illegally and must return to their homeland under Pakistani immigration laws. Police across Pakistan are detaining Afghans to transport them to border crossings, according to two government and security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. They said there are no mass arrests and police were told to go to house-to-house and make random checks to detain foreigners living in the country illegally. 'Yes, the Afghan refugees living in Pakistan illegally are being sent back in a dignified way,' said Shakeel Khan, commissioner for Afghan refugees in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The latest operation is the most significant step yet under orders from federal government in Islamabad, he said. Rehmat Ullah, 35, an Afghan, said his family migrated to Pakistan's northwestern Peshawar city decades ago and now is preparing to return home. 'I have five children and my concern is that they will miss their education,' he said. 'I was born here, my children were born here and now we are going back,' he said. Millions have fled to Pakistan over the past four decades to escape war, political unrest and economic hardship. The renewed deportation drive follows a nationwide crackdown launched in 2023 targeting foreigners living illegally in Pakistan. The Interior Ministry, which oversees the campaign, did not immediately comment. Qaiser Khan Afridi, a spokesperson for the U.N. refugee agency, expressed deep concern over the government's recent actions. 'Sending people back in this manner is tantamount to refoulement and a breach of a state's international obligations,' Afridi said in a statement, urging Pakistan to adopt a 'humane approach to ensure voluntary, gradual, and dignified return of Afghans' and praised the country for hosting millions of Afghan refugees for more than 40 years. 'We call on the government to halt the forcible return and ensure a gradual, voluntary and dignified repatriation process,' Afridi said. 'Such massive and hasty return could jeopardize the lives and freedom of Afghan refugees, while also risking instability not only in Afghanistan but across the region.'

The importance of the mayoral race as Detroiters choose final two
With primary Election Day tomorrow, Detroiters are choosing the two candidates who will battle to a November finish in the pivotal open-seat mayor's race. Why it matters: Nine certified candidates want to succeed Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running for governor. Whoever wins will steer the city's trajectory on key areas including recovering finances, building an equitable city and growing the population. On the ballot: Businessperson Jonathan Barlow, former police chief James Craig, City Council member Fred Durhal III, businessperson Joel Haashiim, former nonprofit CEO and ex-City Council President Saunteel Jenkins, the Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr., attorney Todd Perkins, City Council President Mary Sheffield and DaNetta Simpson. State of play: Sheffield has maintained a commanding lead on fundraising this year. Plus, candidates have debated issues like business and housing. What we're hearing: Three local leaders gave Axios thoughts on what's important about this mayor's race on the eve of Election Day: Anika Goss, CEO of influential think-tank Detroit Future City: Thinking about the dozens of mayoral forums on different topics, Goss says Detroiters from all walks of life are being extremely thoughtful about what they want in leadership. "I think they are clear that they want a middle-class city that is inclusive for everyone, and there are really specific issues they want to make sure are addressed by their next leader." Old tropes of focusing on name recognition over substance no longer apply — safety, job availability and creating post-high-school pathways do. Sheila Cockrel, founder of civic engagement organization Citizen Detroit and a former City Council member: This election is critical because of how federal policies impact the lives of low-income people and "anybody who's not in the 1%," Cockrel says. The way Detroit's next mayor — and City Council — navigates that context will be hugely consequential, she adds. Vincent Tilford, CEO of the Detroit-based Hannan Center for older adults:

White House Says Terrible Jobs Data 'Must Be a Typo'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. White House officials are rushing to defend President Donald Trump's decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), arguing that the fact-finding agency's revisions to recent jobs numbers were too staggering to be credible. Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, described the revisions—which showed 258,000 fewer jobs created in May and June than previously reported—as "hard evidence" of statistical tampering by the BLS. "I've been looking at [jobs data] for 40 years. And I'm like, 'It must be a typo,'" Hassett said, during a Sunday appearance on NBC's Meet the Press. Newsweek has reached out to the BLS via email for comment. Why It Matters Trump's firing of Erika McEntarfer, a Joe Biden appointee who had led the BLS since early 2024, has sparked broad criticism from Democrats and Republicans, with many warning that this sets a dangerous precedent for political influence over such statistical work, and undermines the trustworthiness of the agency. What To Know On Friday, the BLS released its report on non-farm payroll employment for July, showing that only 73,000 jobs were added in the month, well below the 110,000 that had been forecast. This, and the revisions to May and June's data—which the agency said resulted from subsequent reports from businesses and government agencies—prompted outrage from the president. "We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY," Trump posted to Truth Social. "She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes." In a later post, Trump said without evidence that the figures had been "RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad." Hassett said Trump's decision was justified, based on "massive revisions" by the agency in recent years. He pointed to the BLS revising reported job growth between April 2023 and March 2024 down by 818,000 jobs in August of last year, following Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race. Hassett went on to say that "we need a fresh set of eyes over the BLS," and that Trump "wants his own people there so that when we see the numbers, they're more transparent and more reliable." U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CBS News on Sunday that Trump "has real concerns" about the accuracy of the July report and BLS jobs data from last year. "There are always revisions, but sometimes you see these revisions go in really extreme ways," Greer said on Face the Nation. "And it's, you know, the president is the president. He can choose who works in the executive branch."

Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, answers questions from the media at the White House on July 30, 2025, in Washington, D.C. John McDonnell/AP Photo McEntarfer reacted to her dismissal in a post to social media platform Bluesky over the weekend, describing her time with the BLS as the "honor of my life." Her predecessor William Beach, appointed by Trump in 2017, described the move as "totally groundless" on X, formerly Twitter, and one that "sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the bureau." Beach later told CNN there was "no way" for McEntarfer to have rigged jobs figures as Trump alleged. "The commissioner doesn't do anything to collect the numbers. The commissioner doesn't see the numbers until Wednesday before they're published," he said. Both Democrats and Republicans have been equally scathing in their reactions. "Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics chief is dangerous and another sign of his anti-democratic tendencies," New Jersey Senator Cory Booker posted to X,. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Trump was attempting to "blame the failure of [his] presidency on a career public servant." "I think it's kind of impetuous to fire the statistician without first knowing whether the numbers are accurate," said Wyoming's Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis. "It's not the statistician's fault if the numbers are accurate and that they're not what the president had hoped for." What People Are Saying Erika McEntarfer, in a Friday post on Bluesky, said: "It has been the honor of my life to serve as commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation." Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky told NBC News: "We have to look somewhere for objective statistics. When the people providing the statistics are fired, it makes it much harder to make judgments that you know, the statistics won't be politicized." Former BLS Commissioner William Beach told CNN: "I don't think there's any grounds at all for this firing. And it really hurts the statistical system. It undermines credibility in BLS." "Suppose that they get a new commissioner…and they do a bad number. Well, everybody's going to think, well, it's not as bad as it probably really is, because they're going to suspect political influence," he added. American economist and Nobel laureate Roger Myerson told Newsweek: "Firing the professional head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because of bad news in a monthly report is absolutely the antithesis of contributing to economic sciences." "Telling publicly paid statisticians that their careers depend on not releasing bad news is bad for science, and in the long run it will be bad for policymaking also," he added. Friends of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a nonpartisan advocacy group which supports the agency's mission, said: "When leaders of other nations have politicized economic data, it has destroyed public trust in all official statistics and in government science. "BLS operates as a federal statistical agency and is afforded autonomy to ensure the data it releases are as accurate as possible," it added. "To politicize the work of the agency and its workers does a great disservice not only to BLS, but to the entire federal statistical system which this country has relied on for almost 150 years." What Happens Next? Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump said he would be announcing a replacement for McEntarfer "sometime over the next three, four days."
