Yemen displacement, California commutations, Paraguay bank-collapse charges

More than 323,000 people have been displaced by fighting in Yemen since August, the UN says, and hospitals in besieged Taiz warn they could lose emergency services if fuel runs out. California Governor Gavin Newsom issued commutations replacing 548 death sentences with life without parole, though some require court approval. In Paraguay’s continuing bank-collapse crisis, the Senate removed President Santiago Peña, who now faces criminal charges alongside former central-bank chief Carlos Carvallo.
