If you are dealing with something personal and painful – a broken marriage or a family dispute – you might turn to a friend. For something as serious as sexual assault, it might go to trial. But in Ghana, more and more people are turning somewhere else: live radio.

The United States says it's reached a deal with China to temporarily slash reciprocal tariffs. It marks a significant de-escalation in the trade war that blew up last month, when US President Donald Trump imposed sweeping levies. Speaking after the high-stakes talks in Geneva, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced both Washington and Beijing had agreed to cut tariffs on each other's goods.

A fourth round of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States has concluded in the Omani capital, Muscat, with Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs describing them as “difficult but useful”. After about three hours of negotiations on Sunday, spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei described the talks as “difficult but useful talks to better understand each other’s positions and to find reasonable and realistic ways to address the differences”. “Next round will be coordinated and announced by Oman,” he said in a post on X. Before the talks started, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told state media that Iran has a legal right to civilian enrichment of uranium that cannot be subjected to any deal.

Hamas announced on Sunday it will release Edan Alexander, an Israeli soldier with dual American citizenship and the last remaining US captive in Gaza. The Palestinian group said the move comes as part of ongoing negotiations to secure a ceasefire and improve humanitarian aid access to the territory. The announcement precedes US President Donald Trump's scheduled Middle East tour, during which regional tensions are likely to be a key focus.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is ready to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin face-to-face in Turkiye on Thursday. That's after US President Donald Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia's offer of direct ceasefire talks with no conditions. On Saturday, Ukraine and European leaders called for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire at a meeting in Kyiv.

Dr. Ahmed Mukhalalati, former head of Gaza’s Shifa Hospital Burns Unit, described to Al Jazeera the catastrophic conditions under Israeli siege, where 97% of patients with burns covering greater than 30% of their bodies died due to a lack of sterile facilities, ICUs, and staff. He cited Israel’s use of thermobaric weapons—banned in civilian areas—causing mass casualties, while tent fires exacerbated injuries. With hospitals destroyed, surgeons performed wound care in wards rife with maggots and infections, using makeshift treatments like sugar and vinegar. Most plastic surgeons were killed, displaced, or barred from entry, leaving Gaza’s health system "collapsed in all means." Dr. Mukhalalati stressed that burns, normally survivable, became fatal as overwhelmed staff rationed one surgery per five needed. Despite minimal aid access, Israel blocks medical personnel, leaving non-specialists to manage complex cases without equipment or electricity.
