Eight key members of the OPEC+ alliance said Sunday they have agreed to again boost oil production, in a strategy analysts saw as a bid to gain a bigger market share of crude sales.

Oil ministers in the V8 grouping -- comprising Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman -- decided to increase production by 137,000 barrels a day (bpd) from next month, they said in a statement.

Those countries had already increased production by 2.2 million bpd in recent months.

In "Palestine 36," director Annemarie Jacir recounts a year of Arab revolt against British colonial rule that she says is crucial to understanding current events in the Middle East.

"You can't understand where we are today without understanding 1936," Jacir told AFP a day after the film's world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

TEL AVIV (Reuters) -Thousands of Israelis rallied in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, issuing direct appeals to U.S. President Donald Trump to force an end to the Gaza war and secure the release of the hostages.

Protesters packed a public square outside the military headquarters, waving Israeli flags and holding placards with images of the hostages. Some carried signs, including one that read: 'Trump’s legacy crumbles as the Gaza war persists'.

Another said: "PRESIDENT TRUMP, SAVE THE HOSTAGES NOW!"

A gentle study of dysfunctional families by veteran American director Jim Jarmusch clinched the top prize at the Venice Film Festival Saturday, while a harrowing docudrama about the Gaza war took second.

Jarmusch's "Father Mother Sister Brother" starring Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver and Tom Waits, drew mostly positive reviews for its humorous portrayal of awkwardness and guilt.

The "Broken Flowers" director, who wrote the script for three family get-togethers in upstate New York, Dublin and Paris, had called it "a kind of anti-action film".

More than 400 people were arrested in London on Saturday during a tense protest in support of the Palestine Action group, which has been banned under terror laws, police said.

Several hundred people demonstrated in front of the UK parliament, with some holding placards that read: "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."

The capital's Metropolitan Police force (Met) had warned people that it would not hesitate to arrest anyone who explicitly expressed support for the prohibited group.

LONDON (Reuters) -British police arrested dozens more people on Saturday under anti-terrorism laws for demonstrating in support of Palestine Action, a pro-Palestinian group banned by the government as a terrorist organisation.

Britain banned Palestine Action under anti-terrorism legislation in July after some of its members broke into a Royal Air Force base and damaged military planes. The group accuses Britain's government of complicity in what it says are Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

In the remote mountain village of Tarasin in Sudan's western Darfur, three successive landslides struck without warning last week.

"The people lost everything," Francesco Lanino, operations director at Save the Children, told AFP via Zoom from Port Sudan after a team from the charity arrived in the devastated village in Sudan's Jebel Marra region.

Torrential rains had saturated the mountains above and when the hillside finally gave way, it collapsed in seconds -- burying homes, livestock and entire families under a tide of mud.

(Reuters) -The Israel-Premier Tech cycling team have removed their full name from riders' jerseys for the rest of the Vuelta a Espana after pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the finish on stage 11.

Wednesday's stage ended without a winner after organisers decided to take the time at three kilometres before the line as police struggled to contain hundreds of Palestinian flag-waving protesters in Bilbao.

The Israel-Premier Tech team were also stopped on the road by a group of protesters holding Palestinian flags during last week's team time trial in Figueres.

CAIRO (Reuters) -Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Saturday that describing the displacement of Palestinians as voluntary is "nonsense".

Israel earlier called on Gaza City residents to leave for the south, as its forces advance deeper into the enclave’s largest urban area.

An Israeli strike flattened a high-rise in Gaza City on Saturday -- the second in as many days -- after the military warned people to move to a "humanitarian zone" ahead of a planned offensive against the urban hub.

Israel has been warning for weeks of a new assault on the territory's largest city, without issuing a timeline.

It has stepped up air strikes and ground operations on the city's outskirts, sparking fears it could worsen already dire conditions.
