Ishiba's coalition loses majority in Japan's upper house election

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba ’s ruling coalition failed Monday to secure a majority in the 248-seat upper house in a crucial parliamentary election, NHK public television said.

Syria's armed Bedouins say they have withdrawn from Druze-majority city after weeklong fighting
