U.N. commission accuses Israel of obstructing Oct. 7 probe
A U.N.-mandated commission of inquiry that probes violations of international human rights law on Tuesday accused Israel of obstructing its efforts to collect evidence from the victims of the attack by Hamas in southern Israel on Oct. 7. "So far as the government of Israel is concerned, we have not only seen a lack of cooperation, but active obstruction of our efforts to receive evidence from Israeli witnesses and victims to the events that occurred in southern Israel," said Chris Sidoti, one of three members of a commission of inquiry into abuses committed in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Sidoti appealed to the government of Israel, as well as victims and witnesses of the attack, to aid the commission in conducting its probe.

MORNING BID AMERICAS-Red hot retail readout drives US economy and dollar
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan With Middle East anxiety still brewing in the background, the red hot U.S. retail readout for March has underlined the sheer strength of the economic expansion there and is super-charging the dollar around the world. Against Tuesday's news of a spluttering March for China's economy, and a surprising rise in British jobless during the month, the exceptional U.S. performance stands out yet again and has catapulted the dollar to new highs for the year. China's first-quarter GDP annual growth of 5.3% did surpass expectations but March industry and retail growth missed forecasts, new home prices fell at their fastest pace in eight years and property investment fell almost 17% year-on-year.

The most amazing walks in the Lake District
For many people, the Lake District is – and only is – about walking. Well, it is almost impossible to step outside without your eyes being drawn to a mountain top. Indeed, the great fell-walker, Alfred Wainwright, identified 214 fells over 1,000 feet (around 300 metres) in the area, which should keep any list-ticker busy for several years. They range from the iconic Scafell Pike and Helvellyn to gentler (but just as rewarding in terms of views) fells such as Cat Bells.

Trump to return to New York criminal court for jury selection
Donald Trump's historic hush-money trial enters a second day on Tuesday, as lawyers try to select 12 New York City jurors to consider the guilt or innocence of the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges. Roughly half of 100 potential jurors questioned were dismissed after saying they could not impartially judge the polarizing businessman-turned-politician, who is mounting a comeback White House bid while battling four separate criminal cases. A New York native who now lives in Florida, Trump was a fixture in the city's tabloid press for decades before he won the presidency as a Republican in 2016.
