An Ebola treatment center was burned in the Democratic Republic of Congo, illustrating growing local hostility toward an outbreak that is worsening and to which the WHO is struggling to respond.

Vladimir Putin travels to Beijing for the 25th anniversary of the 2001 Sino-Russian treaty and his 40th meeting with Xi Jinping, days after a Trump-Xi summit in San Francisco — Moscow seeking assurances that the US-China rapprochement does not come at its expense.
A drone targets an external generator at the UAE's Barakah nuclear plant. No casualties or radiological release. The IAEA and UAE defense ministry confirm the incident.
Donald Trump claims Xi Jinping agreed to pressure Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz, closed since February 28. Beijing has not publicly confirmed, and negotiations remain stalled.
Le président chinois Xi Jinping et le président américain Donald Trump se sont rencontrés pour discuter des liens économiques et de la situation à Taiwan. Xi a averti Trump que toute erreur sur Taiwan pourrait déclencher un conflit.
Donald Trump's historic visit to Beijing — the first by a US president in nearly a decade — unfolded under the shadow of the Iran war, Taiwan tensions, and a rare-earths standoff. With Trump arriving as a relative supplicant and Xi holding firm on four non-negotiable red lines, the summit tested the limits of transactional diplomacy between the world's two superpowers.
Iran has sent its response to the US peace proposal via Pakistan: it agrees to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile but flatly refuses to dismantle its nuclear facilities. Trump declared the response 'totally unacceptable.' The nuclear red line is now the sole public sticking point.
Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs for the first time since the April 17 ceasefire, killing Malek Ballout, operations commander of Hezbollah's Radwan force — an act Netanyahu frames as self-defense, but one that endangers the truce underpinning the Iran-US negotiations.
Iran transmitted a 14-point peace plan via Pakistan proposing to end the war in 30 days, progressively reopen Hormuz, but deliberately omitting the nuclear program. Trump declared he 'cannot imagine' the plan being acceptable, saying Iran hasn't 'paid a big enough price.' Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned the US faces a choice between an 'impossible' military operation and a 'bad deal.' The first round of direct talks in Islamabad failed last month; no second round is scheduled.
As Iran doubles down on permanent control of the Strait of Hormuz — comparing it to Mossadegh's 1951 oil nationalization — Trump launches 'Project Freedom' to escort stranded neutral ships out of the Gulf starting Monday. A cargo ship was just attacked by small craft, Pakistan-mediated peace talks remain deadlocked, and OPEC+'s third production quota hike is purely symbolic as long as Hormuz stays shut.
