Congo's latest Ebola outbreak has recorded 2,473 cases and 999 deaths, with 737 patients isolated. This Bundibugyo virus strain lacks approved vaccines/treatments and is spreading rapidly through unknown transmission chains, particularly in Ituri province.
Three people have died from hantavirus infections in Venezuela's Anzoátegui state, with two more suspected deaths under investigation in Barinas. Authorities confirmed no human-to-human transmission in the country, describing the incidents as isolated and posing low risk to the general community.
Flowerhorn cichlids, a human-bred hybrid fish, have escaped into Lake Sampaloc in the Philippines, threatening native wildlife like the endangered silver perch. Scientists warn the invasive species, thriving in polluted conditions, poses ecological damage and potential health risks from parasites to local residents who consume them.
Human-bred flowerhorn cichlids, an ornamental fish, have invaded Lake Sampaloc in the Philippines, threatening native species like the endangered ayungin. Escaping from breeding facilities during a typhoon, they thrive in polluted waters, raising ecological and potential parasitic health concerns.
La Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) a recommandé l'obligation annuelle de vaccination contre la grippe pour les professionnels de santé, notamment ceux en contact avec des personnes à risque. La ministre de la Santé, Stéphanie Rist, a demandé l'engagement immédiat de cette mesure, en commençant par les établissements hébergeant des personnes âgées.

This AI-driven approach significantly speeds up materials discovery, bringing the goal of a room-temperature superconductor closer and potentially revolutionizing energy transmission, computing, and medicine.
Europe's liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports fell to a ten-month low in June, dropping 13% from May and 18% year-on-year. This decline is attributed to intense competition with Asia for market volumes, exacerbated by the Middle East crisis. Despite the June dip, total LNG inflows from January to June reached a record high, though growth slowed significantly.
The cost of upgrading Great Britain's electricity networks through the 2030s has increased by 50% to almost £90bn, according to the National Energy System Operator (Neso). This investment is crucial for connecting low-carbon energy and meeting rising demand, aligning with the UK government's 2030 clean power targets.
L'OMS exprime sa crainte de flambées de maladies au Venezuela suite au double séisme, soulignant la pression extrême sur les services de santé, l'enregistrement inadéquat des victimes et 50 000 disparus, une semaine après la catastrophe.
Pakistan's PEMRA suspends Geo News for 15 days for airing content during Muharram that could hurt religious sentiments, citing potential to disrupt public order.
Almost 300 people who tested positive for Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are unaccounted for, as conflict hinders health workers' access to over a million displaced people. WHO projects 8,210 cases and 1,420 deaths by mid-September, with a 70% chance of spread to South Sudan.
A massive Ukrainian drone attack targeted Russia's Tula Region, injuring a woman and damaging a private home, a power line, and an industrial plant. Governor Dmitry Milyayev reported 73 drones were destroyed overnight by Russian air defense units.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that Vladimir Zelensky's aggressive statements against Belarus reveal his terrorist nature and aim to draw Belarus into the conflict, complicating diplomatic solutions.
China successfully launched the Communication Technology Test Satellite 26A into orbit from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan province using a Long March-7A carrier rocket. The satellite will be used for technological experiments, satellite communications, broadcasting, data transmission, and testing new technologies.
India's renewable energy growth is hampered by transmission infrastructure delays, leading to significant curtailment of green power. Rajasthan and Gujarat are particularly affected, with transmission constraints causing nearly two-thirds of curtailed renewable energy in Q1 2026.
A team at Xidian University in China is developing technology to transmit solar power from space to Earth. They are testing a system using mirrors, solar panels, and microwave transmitters to send electricity over 100 meters, with a long-term goal of 36,000 km.
Supercam company tested a secure data transmission system on its Supercam S350 UAV at the National Security. Belarus 2026 exhibition.
