Today's stories

More from today's coverage, told in the same calm voice.

  1. Trump, in China, backs continued Iran military campaign

    During a visit to Beijing, Donald Trump stated that the US military campaign against Iran should continue. The remarks came while Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, a setting that added diplomatic weight to the statement. The combination of active military posture toward Iran and simultaneous engagement with China signals a complex foreign policy moment with implications for regional stability and US-China relations.

  2. Xi warns Trump over Taiwan conflict risk

    Chinese President Xi Jinping met with US President Donald Trump in Beijing, using the summit to caution that Taiwan remains a potential flashpoint for conflict between the two countries. A delegation of American technology executives attended alongside Trump, marking an unusual blending of commercial and diplomatic interests at the highest level. The meeting signals both sides are willing to talk, while fundamental disagreements remain unresolved.

    "Xi warned Trump directly that Taiwan carries a real risk of conflict between the two powers."

  3. Bolivian miners blockade La Paz in government protest

    Thousands of miners brought La Paz to a standstill, throwing dynamite at police during demonstrations against the Bolivian government. The blockades disrupted food supplies to the capital and led to street confrontations between protesters and security forces. The action reflects deepening tensions between organised mining labour and the current administration.

  4. Iran and UAE clash at BRICS foreign ministers meeting

    Iran and the United Arab Emirates exchanged sharp accusations at a BRICS foreign ministers gathering in India, with Iran alleging the UAE was directly involved in military operations against it during wartime. The dispute exposed fault lines within the bloc, which has been expanding its membership while trying to present a unified front on global affairs. The confrontation puts pressure on BRICS to manage deep bilateral tensions among its own members.

    "Iran accused the UAE of being directly involved in military operations against the country during the war."

  5. Cuba faces blackouts as diesel supplies run dry

    Cuban government ministers say the country has run out of diesel, triggering widespread power cuts that have prompted public protests. Havana attributes the shortage to US sanctions blocking fuel imports. The energy minister described the situation as 'very tense.' Civilians are bearing the immediate cost through prolonged blackouts and disrupted daily life.

    "The situation is very tense."

  6. Israel sues New York Times over abuse report

    The Israeli government has filed a defamation suit against the New York Times following the newspaper's publication of a report alleging sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners by Israeli personnel. The legal action targets the journalists and the outlet directly. Defamation suits against major news organisations over conflict reporting are relatively rare and raise questions about press freedom and accountability for conduct in detention.

  7. Russia and Ukraine exchange 410 prisoners of war

    Russia and Ukraine completed a bilateral prisoner exchange releasing 410 soldiers in total, while fighting continued on both sides. A Russian strike on a residential building in Kyiv killed at least 24 people. Separately, Ukrainian strikes killed four people inside Russia. The exchange and the civilian deaths occurred within the same news cycle, illustrating the gap between negotiated gestures and ongoing combat.

  8. Brazil Federal Police swap lead investigator in INSS case

    Brazil's Federal Police replaced the lead delegate overseeing the INSS fraud investigation, which touches on figures including Lulinha, the president's son. The move drew questions from Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and opposition lawmakers, who want an explanation for the timing. The case also implicates businessman Vorcaro and financial links to Partido Novo and Governor Zema's circle.

    "Mendonça e oposição cobram explicações sobre a troca de chefia no caso."

  9. CIA Director Visits Havana, US Demands Policy Changes

    CIA Director John Ratcliffe travelled to Havana for direct talks with Cuban officials, the first such high-level intelligence contact in years. The Trump administration used the visit to press for what it called fundamental changes in Cuba's governance. The meeting signals a shift in diplomatic approach, though the specific demands and Cuba's response have not been fully disclosed. Any agreement would carry significant consequences for both the Cuban government and its population.

    "Trump sends CIA chief to Cuba and demands 'fundamental changes' on the island."

  10. WHO confirms eight hantavirus cases from ship outbreak

    The World Health Organization has confirmed eight cases of a hantavirus strain linked to an outbreak aboard a ship, with more than 40 people under monitoring. The strain's presence across what appears to be multiple countries has prompted WHO to coordinate surveillance. Hantavirus does not spread person-to-person but can cause severe respiratory illness. No fatality count has been confirmed in current reporting.
