President Donald Trump has sent federalised troops from California to Oregon after a court denied his attempt to deploy the National Guard in Portland, BBC reported.

The deployment circumvents a judge's order that blocked deploying troops in Portland by instead using National Guard members who were already serving in Los Angeles after summer protests there.

California Gov Gavin Newsom vowed to file a lawsuit over the manoeuvre, which he called a "breathtaking abuse of the law and power".

Portland is the latest US city - many of which are Democrat-led - targeted as part of the president's crime crackdown. He has argued troops are necessary to restore peace amid ongoing protests over immigration enforcement, according to BBC.

US President Donald Trump has urged everyone involved in efforts to end the Gaza war to "move fast" as mediators are set to meet in Egypt on Monday for indirect peace talks between Hamas and Israel, BBC reported.

The talks come after Hamas agreed to some parts of a 20-point US peace plan, including freeing hostages and handing over Gaza governance to Palestinian technocrats, but is seeking negotiations on other issues. 

The group's response did not mention the key demands of its disarmament and playing no future role in Gaza's governance, according to BBC.

Writing on social media that talks had been "very successful", Trump said: "I am told the first phase should be completed this week, and I am asking everyone to move fast."

Five people have died and tens of thousands have been left without power in Ukraine after intense Russian missile and drone attacks overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said, BBC reported.

Ukraine's neighbour Poland scrambled fighter jets in order to ensure the safety of Polish airspace, the Polish military confirmed. Allied Nato aircraft were also deployed. 

Russia's defence ministry said it had successfully carried out a "massive" strike on Ukrainian military and infrastructure targets, according to BBC.

Indonesian rescuers are searching on Sunday for missing students after a prayer hall at an Islamic boarding school collapsed almost a week ago. They have recovered 23 bodies over the weekend search, bringing the death toll to 37, Associated Press reported.

Using jackhammers, circular saws and sometimes their bare hands, rescue teams diligently removed rubble in an attempt to find the 26 missing students. 

The structure fell on top of hundreds ofstudents, mostly boys between the ages of 12 and 19, on Sept. 30 at the century-old Al Khoziny school in Sidoarjo on the eastern side of Indonesia’s Java island. Only one student escaped unscathed, authorities said, while 95 were treated for various injuries and released. Eight others suffered serious wounds and remained hospitalized Sunday, according to Associated Press.

Police said two levels were added to the two-story building without a permit, leading to structural failure. This has triggered widespread anger over illegal construction in Indonesia.
