The WHO says insecurity and community mistrust are preventing its teams from reaching Ebola-affected areas in the DRC. Armed groups are blocking humanitarian access — and the UN warns the outbreak could trigger a sharp spike in severe hunger.

A rapidly escalating cycle of US-Iran hostilities took center stage as NPR's Shannon Bond reported on a cascade of military actions. After Iran fired on and disabled a commercial container ship in the Strait of Hormuz — claiming it was on an 'unapproved route' — Tehran then declared the entire Strait closed to all transit. The declaration sent shockwaves through global markets given that the Strait carries roughly a fifth of the world's oil trade. But President Trump swiftly rejected the claim on NBC's Meet the Press: 'It's open. We bombed the hell out of them last night.' [1] — Shannon Bond "Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed to all transit after firing on a commercial container ship. Trump flatly rejected the claim: 'It'…" 01:34 US Central Command confirmed it was striking Iranian targets to degrade Iran's ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial shipping. The situation represents one of the most direct US-Iran military confrontations in years.
The US launched another round of strikes against Iran in response to an Iranian attack that occurred on Saturday.

WHO Director General Tedros Gebreyesus said insecurity and community mistrust in the DRC are complicating the agency's Ebola response.
AI nailed Andrew Huberman's vertigo-vs-low-blood-pressure diagnosis because that pattern has been reported millions of times. But every patient's liver is different and data on liver surgeries is scarce worldwide — making solo robot surgery dangerous. The rule is simple: data abundance means AI can help; data scarcity means keep the human in the loop.
Fei-Fei Li's father had liver surgery performed by a da Vinci robot guided by a surgeon. The result: 10 times less blood loss than a typical procedure. This isn't replacement — it's the gold standard of human-machine collaboration, where the human's judgment and the robot's precision combine.
US drug overdose deaths fell from 110,000 to roughly 70,000 — the biggest CDC-recorded single-year drop ever. Men's rates fell 27% in one year, and the steepest decline of all was among 15–24-year-olds, down 37%. The crisis narrative around young men needs to make room for signs of genuine progress.
Kessler thought his grief expertise would protect him. It didn't. When his son David died unexpectedly, he found himself on the floor — and eventually realized that acceptance alone wasn't enough. That unmet need became the sixth stage: finding meaning.
Grief isn't just death — it's any unwanted change. Kessler lectured at Coca-Cola and General Mills not because they had lots of funerals, but because change management is grief management. People who grieve well live well.
Witnessing someone's grief isn't just emotional support — it's an essential act of healing. Kessler argues grief is a severance and connection heals it. But real witnessing has two steps: seeing the pain AND affirming the person's capacity to recover.
Avoiding grief isn't free — it's exhausting. Kessler's beach ball metaphor nails it: pushing a small balloon down is easy, but holding a massive beach ball underwater takes constant, draining energy. Unattended feelings don't disappear; they just consume you.
Most people try to control their environment to avoid triggers. Kessler flips this entirely: triggers aren't problems to manage around — they're a detailed map to your pain and your healing. Every trigger points directly to what needs attention.
Running from pain doesn't leave it behind — it accelerates the chase. Whatever we run from pursues us, and whatever we face transforms us. Both Kessler and Lewis Howes testify to knowing both roads firsthand.
