  Bangladesh is currently facing its most severe measles outbreak in decades, with the number of child fatalities officially surpassing 1,002 as of September 9, 2026. Since the outbreak began in March 2026, there have been 187,484 reported infections among children, predominantly affecting those aged between 6 months and 5 years. The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has acknowledged that shortcomings in a previous vaccination campaign contributed to the epidemic, leaving around 4 million children unprotected. A UNICEF situation report indicated that 72% of the infected children had not received any doses of the two-dose vaccine, while 16% had only received partial vaccination. Earlier vaccination efforts were severely disrupted by strikes and political instability.

  Real Madrid achieved a victory over Inter Milan with a score of 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu. This highly anticipated match marked the beginning of the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League league phase. The match held particular importance for manager José Mourinho, who faced his former team in his second stint at Real Madrid, a club he famously led to a treble in 2010. Real Madrid's win was facilitated by crucial defensive errors from their rivals. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring in the 14th minute, followed by Federico Valverde, who doubled the lead in the 23rd minute after taking advantage of a clearance blunder by Inter's goalkeeper, Josep Martínez. In response, Cristian Chivu's squad adjusted their tactics and maintained possession for prolonged periods.

Outrage After Trump Shares Map Seemingly Claiming Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico and Caribbean as US.

Image
  US President Donald Trump incited global condemnation after sharing an AI-generated map on Truth Social, which illustrated Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, and the Caribbean as territories of the United States. The entire area depicted in the image was adorned with the American flag and was clearly labeled as the "United States of America". This contentious post has intensified international geopolitical tensions. On Tuesday, Iceland responded strongly by summoning the US Ambassador and labeling the shared map as "wholly inappropriate". The map's release coincides with significant trade disputes, as Washington and Ottawa have imposed billion-dollar retaliatory tariffs on one another. Additionally, Trump shared an AI-generated cartoon that mocked Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. This image was part of a series of 100 posts made over the Labor Day weekend. It follows earlier posts in which Trump proposed renaming New Mexico to "New America" and ...

  On Sunday, Iran announced that its forces had engaged a US naval drone attempting to enter the Strait of Hormuz, shortly after retaliating against ships in response to American strikes on three oil tankers.  This latest series of confrontations, which commenced with US airstrikes last week, occurs amidst a stalemate in their ongoing six-month conflict. Iran has sustained its control over the crucial Strait of Hormuz, while the United States continues its counter-blockade of Iranian ports. Additionally, Washington is striving to suffocate Iran’s economy by imposing sanctions on entities with financial connections to the Islamic Republic, aiming to compel it into compliance. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which serves as the ideological branch of Iran’s military, stated on Sunday that it “attacked an American military unmanned surface vessel” that was trying to enter the strait, as reported by state television. Earlier in the day, the IRGC announced that its naval forc...
