Hundreds of thousands of people are going without running water for two days at a time in Puerto Rico, as authorities in the US territory take drastic measures to combat a severe drought.
Many households on the Caribbean island have been split into two groups - with each having their water supply shut off for 48 hours on a rotating basis.
Residents in the capital, San Juan, where the taps were turned off on Friday, decried the rationing. Officials have not said when the measure will end.
Most of Puerto Rico is facing moderate to severe drought conditions, according to the US Drought Monitor, which has been compounded by long-term issues with the island's infrastructure.
Puerto Rico's water authority says about 65% of the water it produces is lost or goes unbilled, much of it through leaks and ageing pipes, according to the BBC's US news partner CBS.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected US President Donald Trump's 15-point plan for Gaza, stating that no military pull-out will happen until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed.
Trump's Board of Peace said last month it had reached an agreement for the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.
But Hamas said handing over its heavy weapons was contingent on Israel ending "all forms of aggression" and withdrawing its forces from Gaza.
On Sunday, a senior Board of Peace official insisted the US-backed peace plan for the territory remained the only way forward.
Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Gaza since agreeing to an initial ceasefire in the territory last October.
"Israel rejects the 15-point document," Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting on Sunday.
The Israeli military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and our citizens", he added.
A Hamas official told the BBC on Sunday the group "reaffirms it commitment" to the agreement and it was ready "to engage seriously and responsibly in implementing" the 15-point plan.
They called on mediators to ensure "that all parties comply with what has been agreed".
Israel's rejection signals another blow for Trump's Gaza peace plan which was announced in September last year.
The plan included the creation of the Board of Peace to oversee the agreement's implementation, as well as the disarmament of Hamas, withdrawal of Israeli troops and reconstruction of Gaza.
Catania international airport services the eastern part of Sicily, one of Italy’s most popular tourist destinations
Mount Etna, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, has belched smoke and ashes in a new eruption, forcing the suspension of arrivals at a nearby airport in Sicily.
“Due to Etna’s eruptive activity and the associated release of volcanic ash into the atmosphere, the airspace corresponding to the cloud … has been closed,” Catania airport said in a statement on Saturday.
“All arriving flights at Catania Airport are suspended until 12:00 local time (10:00 GMT). Departures of aircraft currently at the airport are operating normally,” it added.
Catania international airport services the eastern part of Sicily, one of Italy’s most popular tourist destinations.
A plume of smoke could also be seen billowing from the summit on a webcam on the website of the National Institute for Geophysics and Volcanology, which monitors Etna.
The U.S. Army has used up much of its global stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, according to three people familiar with the data, raising concerns about the military's readiness for future conflicts.
The missiles are principally the Army's surface-to-surface weapons, known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). The U.S. has used "virtually all" of these weapons, according to two of the sources.
The sources declined to say how many of each munition the U.S. had left.
Trump launched the Iran war jointly with Israel in February, predicting that the conflict would last a short time.
But as the war drags on, the three people familiar with the matter expressed worry that the falling missile supplies could limit the U.S. ability to deter adversaries, including Russia and China.
A fourth person familiar with the matter said that despite the high usage of precision weapons, the U.S. can resupply. Central Command — which oversees U.S. forces in the Middle East — has been able to reload from U.S. military supplies around the world, the person said.
The sources interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Asked for comment on the stockpile data, the White House issued a statement from Trump, saying the U.S. had “far more munitions than anyone in the world" and "far more than we need."
that i proclaimed on this nation in 2018 to happen in the time of the revival, which is the Seven Seals, even the 40 days from Seal One (The Antichrist being crowned king) to Seal 6-7 when God passes over the earth in his throne Nibiru, with judgmental destruction in his hands, but also Salvation, to all those who repented and all those under the age of Bar Mitvah that are not accountable for sin.
We know for sure that the power of God (The Two candle sticksof God which were given to my Father Moses and Uncle Elijah will be poured out again onto two anointed Human beings (Olive trees), prophets of God.
These powers specifically include shutting up the heavens so that no rain shall fall upon in the time of their 3.5 years, 1260 day prophetic time.
well with God saying it will happen, and God hearing my angry prayer in 2018, bringing a drought in 2018, but also now i feel we are in a worse drought so the Seven Seals are near.
Elijah also brought Fire down from heaven.
He brought fire down from heaven and burnt up the burnt offering and all the ground around it, to prove to the Satanist that the God of Abraham, Issac and Israel is the
true God.
Elijah also brought down fire from heaven to destroy 50 police officers of the King who sent to do him harm.
Elijah destroyed two lots of50 coppers and their chief before they repented and showed Elijah some respect.
2 Kings 1:
13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
15 And the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, "Go down with him: be not afraid of him". And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
These things are said to happen in these end times...
Rev 11:
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devourstheir enemies: and if any man willhurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy:
but where is Moses?
we have seen no sign or symptoms of the spirit of Godthat was given toMoses poured out yet.
I believe that God will pour outhis spirits that was given to Moses and Elijah just before the First passing of Gods throne even at least for the 40 days of the seven sealsrunning up to the passing of the throne.
so keep watch for the coming of the powers of God that were given to my Father Moses.
I even stated in one of my last video that the plagues that happened to Egypt can come again even in the UK most of them have no restrictions apart from the locusts
but this has happened in the warmermonths when Locusts from Egypt have found themselves in the UK.
So Keep watch for them powers of God that were given to Moses, like turning waters to blood, bring the plagues of Egypt onto the dry ground, parting the sea even.
and then you shall know the spirit of God to Moses is here.
Fact is the Elijah stuff is happening NOW, if the Moses powers come too, WooHoo...!!! you shall KNOW the Throne of God is near.
So with mad weather and the possibly the earth rolling over to face Gods throne, Nibiru coming in the heavens more unprecedented things are possible, especially in them last 40 days before God hits the earth.
Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 57, and Scott Drewitt-Barlow, 32, the co-owner of Maldon and Tiptree Football Club, are due to appear in court on Friday.
One of Britain's first gay surrogate parents has been charged with rape and human trafficking for sexual exploitation.
Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 57, became Britain's first gay surrogate parent in 1999.
He and Scott Drewitt-Barlow, 32, the co-owner of Maldon and Tiptree Football Club, are charged with multiple offences.
The pair, from Danbury, Essex, will appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Friday.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Barrie Drewitt-Barlow has been charged with three counts of sexual assault on a male, four counts of rape of a man 16 or over, and two counts of arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation.
Scott Drewitt-Barlow has been charged with one count of sexual assault on a male, one count of rape of a man 16 or over, and two counts of arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation.

Iran says it is negotiating with Oman to reach "an understanding" over a temporary route through the Strait of Hormuz to allow commercial shipping to resume.
The statement came after US President Donald Trump said new talks on ending the war in Iran would begin on Monday - and that he had called off "massive" strikes on the country for this purpose.
Trump did not specify who would take part in the talks. Iran, however, said it was not negotiating with the US - and had no plans to do so.
Tehran's denial appears to have irked the US president, who later wrote on his Truth Social media platform that Iran's leadership was "unbelievably duplicitous".
Speaking to reporters at the White House later, he insisted talks were in fact taking place.
