Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipLISA DESJARDINS: In tonight's other headlines,# President Trump is ramping up pressure on NATO## to stop purchasing Russian energy.
In a letter to# NATO allies that he also posted to social media,## the president vowed to place major sanctions on# Russia when those in the alliance stop buying## oil from Russia.
Mr. Trump said NATO's# reliance weakens its bargaining power.
The post comes as tensions rise# in Europe over the war in Ukraine.## Russia announced today it completed a joint# military exercise with Belarus force in the## Baltic Sea just two days after# Russian drones flew over Poland.
More airstrikes and more deaths overnight# as Israel's military operation in Gaza## intensifies.
More than 30 people were killed# in Gaza City, including 12 children.
Israel## hit some residential buildings that it# says Hamas used to spy on troop movements.
The Jewish state calls Gaza City the last# Hamas stronghold.
But Palestinians argue## there's no safe place for them to go,# and relocating is out of reach for many.
ABDEL HAMEED AL-ATRASH, Displaced Resident# (through translator): There is no safe place## in Gaza.
From Rafah in the south to Zikim,# there is.. are empty areas, it's empty talk.
There is bombing# everywhere.
What can we do?
Where should we go?
LISA DESJARDINS: Israel has told civilians# to evacuate to Al Mawasi in the south,## which it has designated as a humanitarian zone.
Authorities in Nepal's capital today lifted# a curfew that was put in place after protests## killed 51 people and led to the collapse of the# government.
The move comes after some calm return## to Kathmandu Friday with the appointment of a# new placeholder, Prime Minister Sushila Karki.## She was formerly a Supreme Court chief justice# and was known for standing up to corruption.
And in England, fans of Jane Austen gathered# to celebrate the author's 250th birthday.
The## Jane Austen Festival in Bath, which started as a# weekend celebration, now lasts 10 days.
Travelers## from around the world are united by their love of# empire, waist, tailcoats and bonnets, all to honor## the author of Pride and Prejudice, who they say# provides a time capsule into 18th century culture.
The festival ends next week, leaving# plenty of time for fans to promenade## along the streets that Austen# and her characters stroll.
Still to come on PBS News Weekend, the hard# choices states are making in the wake of## billions of dollars of cuts in federal# funding for health.
And saying goodbye## to the Crawleys, the family at the center of# the beloved historical drama Downton Abbey.
