President Donald Trump approves a landmark energy deal that will establish a civilian nuclear programme in Saudi Arabia. US lawmakers and Israel warn that if the agreement allows the Gulf state to enrich its own uranium, it could pave the way for it to build its own nuclear weapons - but the US insists the deal upholds the "highest standards of nuclear safety". Saudi Arabia has long wanted US nuclear technology, while the US gets a leg up in the competition with China and Russia to develop civilian nuclear infrastructure in the region.Also: A Florida teenager who sued Meta claiming that he was addicted to and harmed by his use of social media platforms, has dropped his lawsuit.

STREAMING THE MAKING OF The JOHM BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-21-261903This transcript captures a discussion between John Batchelor and former Congressman Thaddeus McCarter regarding the geopolitical and domestic challenges facing the United States as it nears a midterm election. Internationally, the dialogue covers a variety of crises, including the outbreak of Ebola in Africa, military tensions with Iran and Hezbollah, and brewing trade disputes involving Canadian tariffs. Domestically, the speakers analyze how rising gasoline prices and inflation are shaping voter sentiment and impacting Republican strategy. They also address the internal fractures within both major parties, specifically the influence of MAGA loyalists on the right and Democratic Socialists on the left. Finally, the conversation critiques President Trump's fixation on the 2020 election, questioning whether such rhetoric hinders the party's future viability.

In Indonesia, 19 people are convicted of trafficking at least 34 babies. The leader of the group, a 70 year-old woman, was sentenced to seven years in prison. The trafficking ring illegally bought babies in West Java and sold them for adoption in Indonesia and Singapore. Also: a deal to secure an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the disarmament of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah faces its first test on the ground. US military says it struck at Iran's ability to launch attacks into the Strait of Hormuz, on the tenth night in a row of US strikes.

Kenyan authorities have denied reports that seven aid workers are quarantined in an Ebola facility in Central Kenya. Members of the public and civil society groups have raised concerns following reports that the aid workers who worked at Ebola health facilities in the Democratic Republic of Congo are quarantined at a US military base in the country. And, we shed the spotlight on foundational learning in Africa. According to UNICEF, four out of five children across Africa are unable to read or understand a simple sentence by the age of 10.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Bella Twine, Keikantse Shumba, and Blessing Aderogba Senior Producers: Caroline Mwangi and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: Maxwell Onyango Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla

Calling it a “lab leak” makes the story feel tidy, but the real scandal might be the system that makes lab-origin disasters plausible in the first place. We sit down with independent journalist Sam Husseini to unpack gain-of-function research, why “potentially pandemic pathogens” are funded and defended, and how a small circle of incentives, prestige, and national security framing can turn high-risk virology into business as usual. We also dig into why Sam avoids the word “unintentional” and why the most important question isn't only where a virus started, but what oversight failed and what evidence still hasn't been disclosed. We talk through the stakes in plain terms: biosafety risk, biosecurity risk, and why scenarios involving smallpox retention, Ebola work, or a weaponized bird flu should terrify policymakers and the public alike. We also examine the transparency gap, including how Freedom of Information Act delays can stall accountability for years, leaving journalists and citizens unable to evaluate funding streams, conflicts of interest, and decision-making inside institutions tied to NIH, Fauci-era priorities, and international lab networks. Then we pivot to foreign policy and apply the same skepticism to war narratives. Sam lays out a “strategic patience” view of the Middle East, arguing that a 1990s Iraq-style pressure campaign could be repurposed against Iran, with shifting pretexts and timed escalations that shape headlines and push Gaza off the agenda. If you care about gain-of-function research, biowarfare history, pandemic origins, and how information control works in both science and war, this conversation is for you.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the Ebola outbreak that was declared in eastern Congo on May 15 is the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record.

Scientists are warning that climate change and deforestation increase the risk of outbreaks of deadly diseases. How big is the danger? And what action can we take? Dr Neil Vora is a so-called “disease doctor” - an epidemiologist who has travelled the world to help trace the sources of outbreaks of Ebola, cow pox and rabies. Dr Vora tells The Climate Question hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar about his specialism in zoonotic diseases, which are caused by infections passing from animals to humans. He is worried that the combination of climate change and cutting down forests will lead to more human-animal contact, and that the higher stress levels experienced by animals such as bats and monkeys will make them more likely to pass on deadly pathogens. Dr Vora says we need to act now to protect forests and avoid the possibility of epidemics or even a pandemic. Neil Vora started his career at the US Centres For Diseases Control and Prevention. He is now Executive Director at the Preventing Pandemics at the Source Coalition. Got a question for The Climate Question?

La controverse règne vendredi matin à Dakar à mesure que se précisent les contours de la visite de Macky Sall. Un retour éclair ce vendredi, le temps d'une audience au Palais avec son successeur Bassirou Diomaye Faye, dans le cadre de sa candidature au poste de secrétaire général des Nations unies. C'est le malaise qui s'installe dans la presse sénégalaise. La formule de Senenews dit tout : une visite, écrit le site, « finalement contestée ». Contestée, d'abord, par ceux qui n'ont rien oublié des années 2021 à 2024. Les collectifs de victimes de la répression politique sont montés au créneau. Sur Africanews, Boubacar Sèye, président de l'Association des familles des martyrs, pose le décor : « Il s'agit du retour d'un homme dont le passage à la tête de l'État reste associé à l'une des périodes les plus douloureuses de notre histoire récente. Des dizaines de personnes ont perdu la vie. » Le site Senego, lui, met les chiffres sur la douleur, plus de 65 morts, plus de 1 600 arrestations, et tranche : « Un tel bilan disqualifie Macky Sall pour promouvoir la paix, la démocratie et les droits humains. » Pour le camp de l'ancien président, une question de stature  Dans Dakaractu, l'Alliance pour la République (APR) salue « la hauteur républicaine » du chef de l'État : la candidature de Macky Sall, plaide le parti, « engage le prestige du Sénégal et la place de l'Afrique dans la gouvernance mondiale ». Le gouvernement, lui, joue le droit. Le ministre des Forces armées Yankhoba Diémé le rappelle sèchement : « Macky Sall ne fait l'objet d'aucune poursuite, encore moins d'aucune condamnation. Il est citoyen de ce pays, il a le droit d'entrer et de sortir du territoire ». Et même Aminata Touré, figure de la majorité, refuse la surenchère sur la TFM : « Je suis contre l'impunité », dit Mimi Touré, « mais à ce que je sache, Macky Sall ne fait l'objet d'aucune poursuite ». Et c'est là qu'affleure le vrai malaise, celui qui vise aussi le pouvoir en place. Car derrière Macky Sall, les victimes visent un silence : celui de la justice. Elles dénoncent, dans Senego, qu'« aucune enquête, aucune poursuite n'a eu lieu », et pointent la loi d'amnistie de mars 2024, toujours pas abrogée. L'activiste Aliou Sané dénonce crûment comment l'on déroule « le tapis rouge du palais à Macky, alors qu'aucune lumière n'est faite sur les morts ». La controverse, ce matin, renvoie donc dos à dos le Sénégal d'hier et celui d'aujourd'hui. En RDC, lutte contre le virus d'Ebola et lutte contre la violence des hommes Avec cette attaque à Nyakunde, en Ituri, à 45 km de Bunia. Des circonstances qui restent à éclaircir… Des tirs vers un centre de traitement Ebola, des patients en fuite. Pour l'activiste Christophe Munyanderu, cité dans la presse allemande Deutsche Welle, le danger est immense : « nous interpellons les autorités en urgence pour que les soignants regagnent Nyakunde ». Et ce n'est pas la première fois que ce site est frappé. En 2002, l'hôpital de Nyakunde avait été le théâtre de l'un des pires massacres du conflit Ituri. Une attaque qui tombe au pire moment, car les chiffres, eux, s'affolent 2 000 cas et 800 morts. Ce jeudi à Genève, le patron de l'OMS a sonné l'alarme. Repris par Africa Radio, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus est formel : « Il s'agit désormais de la troisième plus importante épidémie d'Ebola jamais enregistrée. Elle s'est propagée plus rapidement que toutes les précédentes. » Alors, dans ce tableau sombre, il faut regarder de l'autre côté de la frontière, où une lueur s'allume. En Ouganda, on ose presque parler de victoire. Africa Radio rapporte la scène de ce jeudi à Kampala : le dernier patient hospitalisé est sorti, guéri. Le ministre de la Santé Chris Baryomunsi savoure prudemment : « nous devons désormais compter 42 jours sans nouveau cas pour confirmer que nous avons vaincu Ebola ». Une conseillère santé de l'ambassade de France à Nairobi, citée par Africa Radio, salue un modèle : l'Ouganda « est très rigoureux, c'est un exemple que l'épidémie peut vraiment être contrôlée ».

Notificações de óbitos ocorrem dentro de comunidades congolesas; quadro epidemiológico completo pode ainda não ser totalmente visível, avisa a OIM; ao mesmo tempo, o Uganda entra em contagem decrescente para declarar o fim do surto de ebola no país.

Seit Ende Mai sind in Kongo-Kinshasa fast 800 Menschen am Ebola-Virus gestorben, mehr als 2'200 Infektionen sind bestätigt. Laut der WHO hat sich das Virus noch nie so schnell ausgebreitet. Afrika-Korrespondentin Bettina Rühl ordnet ein, warum sich Ebola bis anhin nicht stoppen liess. Die weiteren Themen: · In Shanghai läuft die «World AI Conference». Beim Treffen dürfte dieses Jahr nicht nur Künstliche Intelligenz, sondern auch die Politik im Zentrum stehen. Das zeigt auch ein Auftritt von Xi Jinping, der zum ersten Mal bei der Konferenz dabei ist. Claudia Stahel, Journalistin in Shanghai, ordnet die Teilnahme von Xi ein. · Plug-In-Hybride verbrauchen mehr Sprit als gedacht. Das hat die EMPA, die Eidgenössischen Materialprüfungs- und Forschungsanstalt, festgestellt. Sie hat den Verbrauch dieser Autos untersucht, die sowohl einen Verbrennungs- wie auch einen Elektromotor haben. Studienautorin Miriam Elser spricht über die neuen Erkenntnisse der EMPA. · Madonna, Shakira, Justin Bieber - sie sind nur einige der Stars, die am Sonntag beim Finale der Fussball-WM an der ersten Halbzeitshow dieser Art teilnehmen. Die Halbzeitpause könnte insgesamt rund 30 Minuten dauern - doppelt so lang wie die internationalen Fussballregeln erlauben. Sportjournalist Ronny Blaschke ordnet ein, wie viel Super Bowl in den Plänen der FIFA für diesen WM-Final steckt.

Die land se logistieke sektor bly op 'n hoë gereedheidsgrondslag terwyl die Ebola-uitbreking in die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo vererger. Die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie sê meer as 2 000 mense is besmet en meer as 790 is dood. Ten spyte van die eskalerende gesondheidskrisis, sê die waarnemende besturende direkteur van die Walvisbaai-korridorgroep, Edward Shivute, dat vragbeweging langs die Walvisbaai-korridors na die DRK ononderbroke bly, met maatreëls in plek om Namibië se voorsieningskettings en oorgrens-handel te beskerm.

Die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie waarsku die Ebola-uitbreking in die Demokratiese Republiek die Kongo het in die eerste maand vinniger versprei as enige ander uitbreking. Tot dusver is 2 273 gevalle aangemeld en 796 sterftes is in slegs twee maande opgeteken. In die 2018–2019 Ebola-uitbreking in die land het dit meer as tien maande geneem om 2 000 gevalle aan te meld. Die WGO se direkteur-generaal, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, sê die uitbreking in die DRK is nou die derde grootste op rekord:

We all look forward to summer, that time of year when we can spend more time outside and less time worrying about things like colds and flu. However, the warm summer months can bring their own infectious disease threats, whether it's ticks, mosquitoes, or foodborne parasites. This week, hosts Chris Dall and Dr. Michael Osterholm discuss some of these summertime infectious disease threats, from the growing cyclospora outbreak in the US, to new research that suggests the tickborne allergy alpha-gal syndrome may be under-recognized. They'll also bring you the latest on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo,  and answer a question about the World Cup.  Links:Workers at an Ebola treatment center in Congo strike over unpaid salaries and bonuses (The Associated Press)What we truly know about the huge US Cyclospora outbreak—and what we don't (CIDRAP)1 in 4 adults in tick-heavy states test positive for alpha-gal antibodies (CIDRAP)  Resources for vaccine and public health advocacy: Voices for Vaccines Families Fighting Flu Vaccinate Your Family Shot@Life Medical Reserve Corps Learn more about the Vaccine Integrity Project MORE EPISODES       SUPPORT THIS PODCAST   Music: "Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License

Dr Otim Patrick Ramadam, Programme Area Manager for the WHO in Africa, discusses the growing number of Ebola cases in DR Congo.

L'OMS tire la sonnette d'alarme. Deux mois après la déclaration de l'épidémie d'Ebola en République Démocratique du Congo, les chiffres officiels publiés le 15 juillet font état de plus de 2 000 cas, dont 796 décès. Mais, selon l'organisation, le nombre réel de personnes infectées pourrait être deux à quatre fois supérieur. Comment expliquer un tel écart ? Pourquoi cette épidémie est-elle si difficile à contenir ? Le lancement, cette semaine à Bunia, d'un premier essai clinique de prophylaxie post-exposition peut-il changer la donne ?  Avec Paulina Zidi, correspondante permanente de RFI à Kinshasa.  

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka Ukanda wa Gaza ambako sitisho la mapigano kati ya Israeli na Palestina lililotiwa Saini tarehe 10 mwezi Oktoba mwaka jana wa 2025 limewezesha wakulima wa eneo hilo kurejea mashambani. Pia tunakuletea Muhtasariw a habari.Mashirika mawili ya Umoja Umoja wa Mataifa lile la Uhamiaji, IOM na la Kuhudumia Wakimbizi, UNHCR kupitia taarifa waliyoitoa kwa pamoja jijini Gneva Uswusi na BangKok Thailand, wameeleza wasiwasi mkubwa kufuatia taarifa kwamba boti mbili zilizokuwa zimebeba zaidi ya watu 500 huenda zimezama katika pwani ya Myanmar katika siku za hivi karibuni. Kwa mujibu wa taarifa za awali, boti hizo mbili ziliondoka mwishoni mwa mwezi Juni kutoka Jimbo la Rakhine nchini Myanmar zikiwa zimewabeba zaidi ya abiria wa jamii ya Rohingya, wakiwemo baadhi waliokuwa wametoka katika kambi za wakimbizi za Cox's Bazar nchini Bangladesh.Zaidi ya watoto milioni 23 wengine zaidi ya wale ambao wako tayari kwenye umaskini duniani wanaweza kutumbukia katika umaskini wa kipato ifikapo mwisho wa mwaka huu wa 2025 kutokana na kuendelea kwa mzozo wa Mashariki ya Kati na athari zake kwa biashara ya kimataifa, kwa mujibu wa ripoti mpya iliyotolewa leo na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto (UNICEF) jijini New York, Marekani.Na Uganda leo imeanza rasmi kuhesabu siku 42 kuelekea kutangazwa kumalizika kwa mlipuko wa ugonjwa wa Ebola baada ya mgonjwa wa mwisho aliyethibitishwa kuwa na maambukizi kupimwa mara ya pili na kubainika hana virusi hivyo, kisha kuruhusiwa kutoka hospitalini. Hatua hiyo ni mafanikio muhimu katika juhudi za nchi hiyo kudhibiti mlipuko, imesema taarifa iliyotolewa leo na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Ulimwenguni, WHO ofisi ya Uganda.Mwenyeji wako ni Feissal, karibu!

La presse congolaise se fait l'écho jeudi 16 juillet des deux mois de l'épidémie d'Ebola. Le Journal de Kinshasa relate ainsi la colère des équipes de riposte à Bunia, qui ont manifesté mercredi. « Les manifestants affirment travailler depuis plusieurs semaines sans percevoir leurs primes de risque », écrit le journal. L'un de ces soignants laisse éclater sa colère dans les colonnes du quotidien. « Nous risquons nos vies chaque jour pour sauver la population, mais nous sommes abandonnés. Nous travaillons sans être payés pendant que nos familles souffrent. Nous demandons simplement que nos droits soient respectés ». Et le Journal de Kinshasa de poursuivre : « les revendications répétées des équipes de terrain suscitent de vives inquiétudes quant à leurs répercussions sur les opérations de riposte ». À Kinshasa, le Forum des As rapporte des tensions lors d'un sit-in de médecins, en grève depuis plusieurs semaines pour exiger notamment le paiement de leurs primes de risque. « Des agents de la police nationale congolaise [les] ont dispersés à l'aide de jets d'eau », écrit le site, qui parle d'une « humiliation inqualifiable pour ceux qui ne faisaient que revendiquer leurs droits sociaux ». Ouverture du sommet africain sur l'eau à Ndjamena Dans chacun des pays représentés au Tchad, la presse rappelle les positions de ses dirigeants. Si en RDC, le Journal de Kinshasa assure que le pays est considéré « comme l'un des plus riches en ressources en eau douce sur le continent », au Gabon, Gabonreview écrit que « Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema joue la carte de la franchise ». « La décision des autorités de décréter l'état d'urgence hydrique témoigne de l'ampleur des difficultés rencontrées dans plusieurs localités du pays », poursuit le site. Afrik.com revient plus largement sur la question de l'eau, « devenue une question de sécurité ». « Dans plusieurs régions du continent, la raréfaction des ressources hydriques est à la base des tensions entre agriculteurs et éleveurs, rappelle le site. Elle favorise les déplacements de populations et accentue les vulnérabilités face aux crises humanitaires ». Deux membres de la délégation de l'UE à Ouagadougou déclarés « persona non grata » Une décision qui « s'inscrit dans une série de décisions illustrant la volonté du pouvoir burkinabè de durcir sa posture diplomatique », nous dit Afriksoir, à Abidjan. Le site souligne que cette « nouvelle crise diplomatique pourrait compliquer davantage les relations entre Ouagadougou et Bruxelles, alors que le Burkina Faso fait toujours face à d'importants défis sécuritaires, humanitaires et économiques ». Sahel Horizon se montre plutôt critique de la décision du gouvernement burkinabè. « Cette crise met en lumière une tension structurelle, s'inquiète le site : celle entre affirmation de souveraineté et respect d'engagements internationaux librement consentis ». Sahel Horizon assure que les autorités « gagneraient en crédibilité en articulant leur position autour des engagements auxquels elles ont elles-mêmes souscrit ». Le Premier ministre français en visite au Maroc « Reset d'une relation d'exception », titre L'Opinion à Rabat. « La France se rend bien compte qu'elle n'a plus de partenaires stables et fiables en Afrique du Nord en dehors du Maroc », déclare un analyste interrogé par le site. L'Opinion met l'accent sur les enjeux économiques de la relation bilatérale. « Si Emmanuel Macron s'est décidé à reconnaître la marocanité du Sahara, lance L'Opinion, c'est qu'il a voulu à tout prix ne pas perdre le marché marocain ô combien juteux pour les champions français. » À Paris, Le Monde Afrique tempère : « la visite des 15 et 16 juillet risque toutefois de buter sur un point de tension bilatérale : le respect des libertés fondamentales ». Le quotidien français revient sur « les récentes arrestations du journaliste franco-marocain Ali Lmrabet, dimanche à Tanger [puis libéré mercredi], et du cinéaste et musicien marocain installé en France El Mahdi Lyoubi, lundi à Casablanca ». Ces incidents, conclut Le Monde, « rappellent la brutalité dont peut faire preuve le palais à l'encontre des voix s'autorisant à critiquer le régime et les institutions ».

En RDC, l'ampleur de l'épidémie d'Ebola pourrait représenter "deux à quatre fois" les estimations officielles, selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé. Le dernier bilan officiel des autorités congolaises publié mardi fait état de 719 morts et 1 963 personnes contaminées. Au centre de traitement Ebola de Rwampara, localité parmi les plus touchées située en Ituri, des soignants dénoncent leurs conditions de travail et des salaires impayés.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports two months since its onset, central Africa's Ebola outbreak is still spreading faster than health officials can track.

« Vendredi, toutes les caméras seront braquées sur un seul objectif », écrit Seneplus à Dakar, qui parle de l'une des poignées de mains « les plus lourdes de sens de ces dernières années ». Elle « pourrait marquer un tournant important dans notre vie politique » souligne le site, qui poursuit : « Si cette poignée de mains intervient, chacun y trouvera sa propre lecture. Les uns y verront un geste de courtoisie républicaine. Les autres le symbole d'une décrispation entre l'ancien et l'actuel chef de l'État. » Une photo fait déjà le tour de la presse sénégalaise ce mercredi. Une poignée de mains, déjà, mais entre Macky Sall et Karim Wade, le président du Parti démocratique sénégalais. Les deux hommes sont présents à Doha, pour les obsèques de l'ancien émir du Qatar, tout comme Bassirou Diomaye Faye. « La présence simultanée des trois hommes à Doha fait dire à certains qu'un pacte pourrait voir le jour », écrit Walf. En échange du soutien à sa candidature au secrétariat général de l'ONU, poursuit le quotidien, Macky Sall « pourrait apporter son expérience à Bassirou Diomaye Faye qui est à la recherche de bastions politiques [...] Avec pour objectif ultime de triompher de son ennemi juré Ousmane Sonko. » L'épidémie d'Ebola en RDC La presse congolaise se fait le relais de cette déclaration de l'OMS, qui affirme que l'ampleur de l'épidémie pourrait dépasser de deux à quatre fois les estimations officielles. « Une annonce qui transforme une épidémie déjà critique en une catastrophe sanitaire aux contours encore flous » s'inquiète le Journal de Kinshasa. « La prochaine bataille se jouera dans les villages reculés, là où les malades meurent sans être comptés, et où la confiance est un médicament aussi rare que les lits d'hôpital » poursuit le titre. D'autant que le pays est confronté à une grève des médecins. Ils réclament notamment « une dizaine de mois de salaire et primes impayés, ainsi que l'amélioration des conditions de travail », rappelle Actualite.cd, qui s'est rendu aux Cliniques universitaires de Kinshasa. Le site décrit des services déserts, et des patients « visiblement voués à eux-mêmes ». « Néanmoins, précise Actualite.cd, ce mouvement de grève sèche ne concerne pas les provinces de l'Ituri, le Nord-Kivu et le Sud-Kivu, frappés de plein fouet par le résurgence de l'épidémie d'Ebola. » L'UE interdit l'importation d'or du Soudan Une décision qui suscite « un large débat parmi les spécialistes miniers et les économistes quant à sa faisabilité et son efficacité », nous dit Sudan Tribune. Le site a notamment interrogé l'ancien directeur de la Compagnie soudanaise des ressources minérales, qui souligne que la grande majorité des exportations soudanaises d'or partent vers l'Asie, et non vers l'Europe. « Cette mesure risque d'intensifier la contrebande », souffle le chef de la Division des exportateurs d'or dans les colonnes de Sudan Horizon. « Le Soudan n'exerce qu'un contrôle limité sur son secteur aurifère » explique-t-il, assurant que cette mesure « aura un impact négatif sur les recettes, déjà limitées, de l'État ». Le rappeur et réalisateur El Mahdi Lyoubi en garde à vue au Maroc « Son arrestation serait liée à ses prises de positions artistiques et à des publications sur les réseaux sociaux », rapporte Telquel, qui rappelle au passage que l'artiste avait apporté son soutien au mouvement GenZ 212. « Tu ne peux pas faire du rap sans t'engager », expliquait-il au site dans une interview en septembre dernier. En France, Mediapart publie une tribune signée par plus de 500 artistes, musiciens et professionnels du cinéma français comme marocains. Ils écrivent : « Cette arrestation n'est pas un cas isolé. Depuis plusieurs années, et de manière intensifiée depuis le mouvement Gen Z, les autorités marocaines répriment les voix critiques [...] La liberté de créer, de contester et de critiquer est indispensable au rôle social et politique de l'art. »

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka katika mkutano wa HLPF hapa makao makuu ya UN kumsikia Profesa Peter Wanderi Mwangi ambaye amewakiwakilisha Chuo Kikuu cha Mount Kenya cha nchini Kenya chenye matawi mbalimbali katika Afrika Mashariki katika mkutano wa United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI), Mpango unaosisitiza nafasi muhimu ya taasisi za elimu ya juu katika kuhimiza maendeleo endelevu na kuunga mkono utekelezaji wake. Baada ya ziara yake mjini Bunia, jimboni Ituri nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC ambako ndio kitovu cha mlipuko wa sasa wa Ebola ya virusi vya Bundibugyo, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa WHO anayehusika na Programu ya Dharura za Afya, Dkt. Chikwe Ihekweazu, amewambia waandishi wa habari Geneva, Uswisi kwamba mlipuko wa sasa ni moto ambao kinachouchochea kiko katikati, huku ukiendelea kusambaa.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Masuala ya Bahari (IMO) limesema lina wasiwasi mkubwa kufuatia mashambulizi ya jana usiku yaliyolenga meli kwenye mlango wa bahari wa Hormuz na viunga vyake na kusababisha vifo vya takribani mabaharia wawili na wengine kadhaa wamejeruhiwa. Kupitia taarifa yake iliyotolewa London, Uingereza, IMO imesema inafanya kazi kwa haraka na mamlaka husika ili kubaini mazingira halisi ya tukio hilo.Na uungwaji mkono wa umma kwa wakimbizi unaendelea kuwa imara licha ya kuwepo kwa changamoto na kutokuweko kwa uhakika wa mustakabali duniani, hii ni kwa mujibu wa utafiti wa pamoja uliofanywa na kampuni ya IPSOS na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Wakimbizi, UNHCR, Utafiti umebaini kuwa asilimia 66 ya washiriki katika nchi 29 wanakubaliana kwamba watu wanaokimbia vita au mateso wanapaswa kuruhusiwa kusaka hifadhi katika nchi nyingine, ikiwa ni punguzo la asilimia moja tu ikilinganishwa na mwaka 2025.Utafiti huu umefanywa ikiwa ni miaka 75 tangu kupitishwa kwa Mkatab awa Kimataifa wa kulinda wakimbizi.Mwenyeji wako ni Feissal Kirwa, karibu!

A new vaccine to tackle Ebola will now be tested on people after the UK regulator gave permission for trials to take place. University of Oxford scientists began developing the vaccine - aimed at tackling the Bundibugyo species of the virus - eight weeks ago, when a public health emergency was declared by the World Health Organization. It is the first - out of four vaccines under development - to enter clinical trials. The epidemic, centred on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has killed more than 700 people. Also: the dispute over who controls the Strait of Hormuz has intensified with some of the heaviest exchanges of fire since the US and Iran agreed an interim peace deal last month. The Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has visited the wildfire zone in the southern province of Almería, where 13 people have died. Almost 3 million people in China have been evacuated from their homes as a result of Typhoon Bavi. The actor Sam Neill, known for films such as Jurassic Park and the Piano, has died at the age of 78.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Regulators in Britain have approved human trials of a new vaccine to tackle the latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It comes as health authorities in the DRC say Ebola has spread to two new provinces, including the populous northeastern city of Kisangani. We speak to a scientist who developed the vaccine and an aid worker in the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak. Also in the programme: President Trump announces the US will reinstate its naval blockade of Iran; and we hear tributes to the Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill, who has died aged 78.(Photo: Red Cross workers wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) gather after handling the coffin of a man who died of Ebola virus, as aid agencies intensify efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus, in Bunia, Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo, June 10, 2026.

The Department of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE, has officially been terminated. Its July 4th sunset date was part of Donald Trump's original executive order that created the agency, which Elon Musk ran. During his tenure, Musk oversaw the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D., which used to provide life-saving medical and nutritional programs around the world. Musk, who recently became the world's first trillionaire, claims that there is no evidence that a single person died after DOGE cancelled more than eighty per cent of U.S.A.I.D.'s programs, cutting basic health-care access to some ninety-five million people. Atul Gawande disagrees. He was the assistant administrator for global health at  U.S.A.I.D. until he stepped down, the same week Trump ended U.S. foreign assistance. Gawande says an estimated seven hundred thousand people have already died as a result of the cuts. David Remnick speaks with the longtime New Yorker contributor about the profound effects of ending U.S.A.I.D.'s work abroad, Musk's involvement in these decisions, and the deaths it all has wrought.    Further reading, viewing, and listening:  “The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D.

As the US and Iran trade strikes in the Middle East, huge crowds have gathered in the holy city of Mashhad ahead of the burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.We'll try to gauge the mood in the country and assess the options now for both the US and Iran. Also in the programme: The disinformation about Ebola fuelling attacks on Congolese health workers; we'll remember the life of the smash-hit gravel-voiced pop star Bonnie Tyle; and the Norwegian rowing sensation that's become one of the sounds of the men's football World Cup.(Photo shows mourners gathered on the day of the burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, Iran on 9 July 2026.

The US has carried out a second wave of airstrikes on Iran after Tehran attacked tankers in the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week. The perimeter of Iran's main nuclear plant, at Bushehr, was reported to have been hit. Iran said attacks on its civilian infrastructure could be war crimes. Tehran ordered retaliatory strikes on neighbouring Bahrain and Kuwait. Also: the toll of the war on tanker sailors in the Gulf; scandal forces a leading US Democratic Senate candidate to suspend his campaign; Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler dies at 75; rising false claims about the Ebola outbreak in the DRC; why young people may be best placed to take advantage of AI; the danger facing a little-known desert rain frog; and scores to settle: Morocco take on France again in the World Cup.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

The ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda has become the third-largest on record. And while the regional response is more robust than it was during the largest outbreak, in 2014-2016, the U.S. has now largely divested from global health initiatives under President Trump. So it raises the question: What role should the U.S. play in global health? And how do we build systems that protect our collective health even as political winds change? Flora speaks with John Nkengasong, virologist and founder of the Africa CDC, about Ebola, what it took to curb HIV/AIDS, and how to make global health initiatives more resilient. Dr. Jessica Bartley is senior director of psychological services for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Guest:  Dr. John Nkengasong has led public health initiatives in the United States and across Africa for over 30 years. He is also the executive director for higher education, collaboratives, and special initiatives at the Mastercard Foundation.
