An Ebola outbreak, specifically the rare Bundibudyo strain, has been declared a public health emergency in eastern DRC, causing widespread fear and economic anxiety.

Ebola outbreak in DRC's Ituri province causes panic, economic worries, and dozens of deaths. The rare Bundibugyo strain lacks a vaccine, and ongoing conflict complicates containment efforts.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has apologised to the community of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, saying he was "deeply sorry" the company did not inform police about a banned ChatGPT account linked to the killer who murdered eight people in a February mass shooting. OpenAI banned an account connected to Jesse Van Rootselaar in June 2025, eight months before the attack, due to concerns about violent activity, but did not alert authorities as nothing pointed to an imminent threat. Canadian officials have summoned OpenAI leaders to Ottawa, and the family of a gravely wounded student is suing the tech giant for negligence.
