Myanmar to hold minute of silence for quake victims

Following the earthquake in Myanmar, aid groups are warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis with hospitals damaged and overwhelmed by the needs of the people affected.

Since a military coup in 2021 there has been a civil war in the country, a situation that is hampering the provision and deliveries of much needed aid.

Wisconsin has moved to the centre of the political debate in the US, with Donald Trump's ally Elon Musk seeking a favourable outcome in the state's Supreme Court election.

The Israeli government has rejected criticism following the deaths of fifteen aid workers in Gaza, saying that there had been no random shooting at an ambulance and that the soldiers had eliminated Palestinian militants.
