Ugandan authorities begin clinical trial of a vaccine against the Sudan strain of Ebola. Two more cases are confirmed on Monday in relatives of the first victim. The trial "marks a major milestone in public health emergency response," WHO director says. Trial vaccine known as rVSV-ZEBOV used to vaccinate 3,000 people at risk of infection during an outbreak of the Zaire strain of Ebola in eastern Congo between 2018 and 2020. Confirmation of the disease in Uganda is the latest in a series of outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers in the east African region.

AI Summary:
Donald Trump published a message directed at the student protesters who participated in last year’s pro-Palestinian demonstrations. It was aimed specifically at the immigrants among the protesters. The statement was the latest sign that the fallout from the protests was far from over. Order pledges "immediate action" to "prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence" it also requires all higher education establishments to be instructed on how to "monitor for and report activities by alien students and staff" if warranted, the government can then initiate "actions to remove such aliens" As many as 3,000 student protesters were arrested at the height of the protest movement in 2024. The movement also unfolded against the backdrop of a heated US presidential election season, and Trump used the issue as part of his campaign. “The implications of this executive order go far beyond the Palestine movement,” Khalidi said. “It encourages government agencies to find ways to target any dissent from Trump’s agenda”. The order is expected to face legal challenges. A fellow at the Center for American Progress accuses the Trump administration of weaponising anti-Semitism for political gain. "It does nothing to keep Jewish students or any other Americans safe from hate or prevent terrorism," Olinsky writes. From January to July 2024, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) tallied 4,951 complaints. It also called the order an "attempt to smear the many Jewish, Muslim, Palestinian and other college students who protested” the war together.

AI Summary:
"We don’t know what was killing them," Samoa's top health official says. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says some who died in the country's 2019 measles epidemic didn't have the disease. The cause of the 83 deaths — mostly of children under age 5 — is unclear. The Samoan official wasn't the health chief during the outbreak, but confirmed key details with his predecessor. Only one autopsy was carried out and no postmortem tissue samples were sent abroad, which was not unusual because measles is a simple disease to diagnose. Ekeroma rejected that assertion, referring to social media posts by anti-vaccine advocates who posed for photos with Kennedy during his trip. Kennedy emboldened anti-vaccine contacts in Samoa, Ekeroma said. The epidemic was fueled by disinformation in social media posts in the island nation and abroad.

AI Summary:
Russian drone attacks are conspiring against Ukrainian forces in Pokrovsk. Ukrainian troops are losing ground around the crucial supply hub. Moscow is set on capturing as much territory as possible as the Trump administration is pushing for negotiations. Russia amassed a large number of infantry around Velyka Novosilka, soldiers say. A combination of factors led Kyiv to effectively lose the settlement this past week. Scattered groups of Ukrainian soldiers are still present in the region. Russian forces now occupy key dominant heights around Pokrovsk region. Russian forces are less than 4 kilometers ( 2 1/2 miles) away and are affecting Ukrainian traffic. Ukrainian soldiers say shortages of fighting troops are “catastrophic” and challenges are compounded by newly created infantry units. His battalion has almost no reserves, forcing infantry units to hold front-line positions for weeks at a time. For every one of his soldiers, Russians have 20, he said, emphasizing how outnumbered they are.

AI Summary:
Multiple earthquakes are rattling Santorini, a volcanic island in Greece. Residents warned to avoid indoor gatherings, check escape routes and drain swimming pools. The vast majority cause no injuries and little or no damage, but the country has also seen deadly quakes. Santorini lies along the Hellenic Volcanic Arc, which stretches from the Peloponnese in southern Greece through the Cycladic islands. So far, there has been no damage or injuries reported, although some minor rock slides have occurred. Scientists are still trying to determine definitively whether the multiple quakes are foreshocks. Push alerts have been sent to cellphones warning people to stay away from areas where rock slides could occur. Schools on Santorini, as well as the nearby islands of Anafi, Amorgos and Ios, will remain shut all week. The fault line that has been activated was the site of Greece’s largest quake in the last century.
