Magnitude 7.7 and 6.4 earthquakes have struck Myanmar, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), with reports of strong tremors felt in Thailand and elsewhere in the region.

Donald Trump has his eyes set on Greenland. The US president said Washington should take over the Danish territory, saying it's crucial to its national security. But the idea has raised alarms in the semi-autonomous region, particularly after US Vice President JD Vance announced he'd visit the island. The tour has now been scaled down, but many still call it 'provocative' and 'disrespectful'. Greenland is rich in minerals and is strategically located, but its people say, their territory is NOT for sale. So, will this threat further alienate European allies? And how far is Trump willing to go to get what he wants?

Critical minerals are crucial to clean energy technologies and defence manufacturing. Their demand is growing fast, and so is competition among leading economies for rare earths. But it is China that dominates supply chains. The United States is scrambling to reduce its reliance on Beijing for critical minerals. From potential deals with Ukraine and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to tariff threats against Canada and Greenland. Washington is accused of using economic coercion to get its hands on the elements. The US also wants to ramp up production at home. Also, could President Prabowo Subianto's plans help grow Indonesia's economy?

When a Signal group chat involving top US officials discussing plans to bomb Yemen included The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, it sparked a firestorm in Washington. Now, The Atlantic has published excerpts from the chat, including input from political figures such as JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Michael Waltz. We take a look at where the backlash has landed – and where it hasn't.

South Sudan’s 2011 independence began with jubilation after decades of civil war, but ethnic tensions and weak governance soon triggered fresh conflict. In 2013, President Salva Kiir accused ex-deputy Riek Machar of a coup, splitting the army along ethnic lines and sparking a brutal civil war. A fragile 2018 peace deal established a unity government, but not before tens of thousands died and a third of the population fled. Despite hopeful proclamations, the UN now warns of renewed conflict as millions face dire humanitarian needs. The oil-rich nation’s leaders still struggle with reconciliation and nation-building, leaving its future uncertain.

The war in Gaza has killed nearly 16,000 children since October 2023, most of whom have died in indiscriminate bombings. Yet a deeply unsettling subset of these deaths stands apart - children arriving at trauma centres with gunshot wounds. Doctors in Gaza report seeing these cases nearly every day. Their accounts, corroborated across hospitals and over time, suggest a disturbing pattern. This is not random. It is systematic.

In war-torn Sudan, millions are on the brink of mass starvation as aid agencies issue urgent warnings of an impending humanitarian crisis. The need for immediate food and medical supplies is unprecedented. Yet, as the US significantly cuts vital funding, the global humanitarian system faces its greatest challenge.

Will Donald Trump’s plans of making the US the “crypto capital of the world” be realised, or will the volatile currency leave some Americans with empty pockets? Money Works looks at who gets rich and why many investors get burned.

The US Secretary of Homeland Security is visiting the high security prison in El Salvador that's housing Venezuelan migrants recently deported by the Trump administration. Kristi Noem will meet President Nayib Bukele to discuss the removal of what she calls violent criminals from the US. The deported migrants are accused of being members of a gang which Trump has labeled a terrorist group. But their relatives say they're innocent and should be sent home.
