How Israel is tightening its grip on Palestinian schools in East Jerusalem

Jamal Shalabi, a 66-year-old Palestinian chemistry teacher, has commuted from el-Bireh in the occupied West Bank to teach in East Jerusalem since 1998. He is among 180 teachers whose entry permits are set to be revoked when they expire at the end of the 2026–27 academic year.

Two new Ebola vaccines to be tested in the DR Congo

The WHO has recommended clinical evaluation of two vaccines against the Bundibugyo Ebola virus: ChAdOx1, developed by the University of Oxford and the Serum Institute of India, and mRNA-1469, developed by Moderna. The candidates will join the multi-vaccine Tumaini trial, launched on October 23 in Bunia, once national approvals are granted. The DR Congo has endured its largest Ebola outbreak for nearly six months, with more than 10,500 confirmed cases and 5,126 deaths as of November 1, 2026. The trial uses a ring-vaccination approach and is already assessing the Ervebo vaccine against this strain.

Despite the ceasefire envisaged under the Doha peace process, fighting between the FARDC and FRN rebels is escalating across several territories in South Kivu. Clashes resumed around Nzibira and Lutunkulu in Walungu, disrupting the Kankinda market, while fighting was also reported in Cidasa and Kalambi in Mwenga. In the Minembwe area of Fizi, clashes spread to several villages following attacks attributed to the FARDC; shelling near Kakenge the previous day killed at least two people. A new front opened at Kasirusiru and Bugulumiza in Kabare, where the FRN is fighting the Wazalendo; observers say the group may be seeking a route through Kalonge and Shabunda toward Maniema Province.

20230 World Cup: Spain should withdraw if it does not host the final, says right-wing opposition

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain’s People’s Party and the right-wing candidate for prime minister, said Spain should withdraw from hosting the 2030 World Cup if it does not get the final. Spain is co-hosting the tournament with Portugal and Morocco; Madrid is proposing Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu, while Morocco plans a stadium of about 115,000 seats in Benslimane near Casablanca. Feijóo said the final should be played in Spain and confirmed he would advocate withdrawal if Morocco gets to host it. FIFA has said no decision has been made, despite Moroccan federation president Fouzi Lekjaa’s assertion that the match would take place in Morocco.
