#Antarctica Treaty nations conclude closed-door talks in Hiroshima. That this club of nations still manages to protect such a vast territory for science and exploration, 70 years after its signature, is something indeed. youtu.be/rWAwHt30dEM?si=1v0s… via @AJEnglish

More than 360 people have been released from Boko Haram captivity in northern Nigeria. But many of them face an uncertain future after their community was destroyed and declared unsafe to return to. Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Pulka, northeast Nigeria.

#ebola has never been as devastating as it was in 2014, when it hit Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Mali and others. @nicolashaque, @AJEnglish covered it then and reflects on it now with the doctors who were there. youtu.be/urPS7Y9SIS4?si=lFIF…

youtu.be/0YRNbIeSFD0 the US is going to the moon, while at war, while shifting global relationships, while changing norms at home. Yes, the moon. The benchmark of achievement in our collective view of ourselves. The mission is a view of another path, one that is still open

A truck carrying antiprotons will drive across Europe. A team at CERN just transported antimatter across the laboratory's campus in a truck. Literally. 92 antiprotons packed into a portable trap weighing one tonne. As everyone knows, antimatter annihilates on contact with ordinary matter - which is basically everything. The final destination is Germany: Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. An extraordinary delivery in the history of road transport. home.cern/news/press-release…

Been here in Tehran for the past couple of days, here are a few observations. 📌 Striking contrast, despite the ongoing military confrontation, daily life largely continues. Shops, restaurants, and malls are open, clear shift from the paralyzed atmosphere of last year’s 12-day war. 📌Iranian authorities are navigating on two layers. State rhetoric clearly frames this as an existential conflict, yet there is a concerted domestic effort to project normalcy and stability for residents. All indicators suggest the government is bracing for a protracted, multi-month conflict. 📌 Because Tehran is such a huge city, the physical toll of the conflict isn't spotted. Destruction is localized, though the damage is unmistakable in certain districts. Meanwhile, state mobilization remains highly visible, with several pro-government rallies taking place across various neighborhoods. 📌 Following a deceptively calm day yesterday, airstrikes targeted local fuel depots post-midnight. The escalation continued into this morning with a massive blast heard toward the city center, followed by at least two more explosions in the northern suburbs. 📌 These strikes on critical energy infrastructure represent a significant pressure on the state and residents. Aside from the day to day impact, the scene, the smoke, the smell all have their own effects.
