Bangladesh's deepening power and fuel crisis is severely straining mobile networks, with millions at risk of losing reliable connectivity.
Operators report that prolonged outages—lasting up to eight hours a day in rural areas—are crippling telecoms infrastructure and leaving backup systems overstretched.
The disruption is affecting more than 185 million mobile users and hitting critical sectors including healthcare, banking and emergency services.
In places like Dhamrai, a small town near Dhaka, residents struggle to make calls or access the internet as frequent power cuts leave mobile towers without electricity.

Families in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo are holding on to hope as a planned prisoner exchange between the government and March 23 Movement raises the possibility of reunions with detained loved ones.
More than 200 detainees could be released following negotiations held in Doha and an agreement reached in Geneva. But continued fighting in the eastern provinces of North Kivu and South Kivu is fuelling fears that the deal may collapse.
In Goma, families say they have gone months without contact with relatives detained during the conflict. Both sides accuse each other of violations, while civilians remain caught in the middle of ongoing violence.
This report looks at the human cost of the conflict and the uncertainty surrounding the fragile agreement.

At least seven people have been killed and more than 80 injured after two passenger trains collided outside Jakarta.
The crash occurred at Bekasi Timur Station, where a long-distance train slammed into the back of a stationary commuter train carrying hundreds of passengers.
Witnesses described chaotic scenes as emergency crews worked to rescue people trapped inside mangled carriages. Some survivors said they feared they would not make it out alive as evacuation efforts took time.
Officials believe the commuter train may have stopped after being struck by a taxi at a nearby level crossing. Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident.
Rescue teams worked through the night to free survivors and treat the injured, while Indonesia’s transport ministry says safety improvements will follow once the investigation is complete.

Cole Tomas Allen was officially charged with trying to assassinate US President Donald Trump in what is considered the third attempt on his life since 2024.
The Trump administration says it is reviewing a new Iranian proposal that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz while postponing nuclear negotiations to a later stage.
Officials say US demands remain unchanged, including keeping the key shipping route open and limiting Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile. President Trump has met with his national security team, but no details have been released on what was discussed.
Iran’s foreign minister says Tehran is considering the US request for talks following meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who voiced support for efforts to stabilize the Middle East.
With no formal outcome announced, both sides continue internal discussions as diplomatic channels remain active.

Since October 2023, military operations across the occupied West Bank have escalated sharply, with more than 1,100 Palestinians reported killed and tens of thousands detained.
In areas like Kafr Aqab and the Qalandia refugee camp, Israeli forces have carried out large-scale raids, moving through residential neighborhoods, taking over buildings, and forcing families to evacuate with little notice.
Residents describe being ordered out of their homes as troops establish positions, while the Israeli military says the operations are targeting armed groups. Rights organizations and witnesses, however, say civilians are bearing the brunt of the crackdown.

Friedrich Merz has sharply criticized the approach of Donald Trump to the ongoing tensions with Iran, saying Washington lacks a clear strategy.
Speaking at a public event, Merz warned that entering a conflict without a defined exit plan risks long-term consequences. He argued that the United States is being outmaneuvered diplomatically, with Iran gaining leverage as negotiations stall.
Merz also drew comparisons to past US military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, where prolonged conflicts highlighted the dangers of unclear objectives.
His remarks come amid growing international concern over escalating tensions and uncertainty around future negotiations.

A man accused of storming the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is facing multiple federal charges, including the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
According to the United States Department of Justice, the suspect, Cole Thomas Allen, has been charged with three serious offences:
Attempted assassination of the US president
Interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony
Discharging a firearm during a crime of violence
Prosecutors say the suspect was heavily armed, carrying a shotgun, a semi-automatic handgun, knives and other equipment at the time of the incident.
Authorities also revealed that the weapons were purchased in California and transported across state lines, a key element in the federal case.
Investigators are now reviewing a manifesto believed to be linked to the suspect as they work to determine the motive behind the attack.
If convicted, the suspect could face life in prison.

Israeli settlers set fire to a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank village of Jalud, reportedly as residents were still inside. The attack comes amid wider violence in the occupied territories, with settlers assaulting Palestinians and Israeli forces carrying out mass detentions.
The United Nations Security Council has failed to take action on the escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, as global tensions over maritime security continue to rise.
During an emergency session, member states called for de-escalation and the reopening of the vital shipping route, where thousands of cargo vessels and tens of thousands of seafarers remain stranded. The disruption is already driving up global fuel prices and raising concerns for vulnerable economies.
António Guterres warned of the growing humanitarian and economic impact, as countries highlighted that around 20% of the world’s oil and gas supply passes through the strait.
However, divisions within the council persist. A resolution calling for reopening the waterway was blocked by China and Russia, while sharp exchanges between the United States and Iran underscored deepening geopolitical tensions.
With no agreement reached, the crisis continues to threaten global trade, energy supplies, and regional stability.

The White House says a new Iranian proposal to end the conflict is under review, as President Donald Trump meets with his national security team to assess next steps.
While Washington is considering the offer, officials stress that US “red lines” remain unchanged. At the same time, Iran’s foreign minister says Tehran is evaluating a request for negotiations following high-level diplomatic meetings, including talks with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.
The proposal appears to focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and easing maritime tensions, while delaying discussions on Iran’s nuclear programme — raising questions about whether the crisis can be addressed in stages.
Experts say the move could signal shifting strategy on both sides, as economic pressure, security concerns, and regional stability hang in the balance.

In this episode of This is America, hosted by Cyril Vanier, Al Jazeera examines Donald Trump’s trusted but unconventional team of negotiators and asks whether they are really equipped to deliver peace with Iran. In a city that builds monuments to victory rather than peace, the programme looks at the “angels of peace” Trump has chosen: his son‑in‑law Jared Kushner, real estate tycoon Steve Witkoff, and Vice President JD Vance – a politician who built his brand opposing foreign wars and did not initially support this one.
From the White House, Alan Fisher explains how Trump has repeatedly bypassed professional diplomats, instead sending a tight inner circle into some of the most sensitive talks of his presidency. He tracks their first, 20‑hour round of face‑to‑face negotiations with Iran in Pakistan – the highest‑level US–Iran talks in nearly half a century – and why they ended with no visible progress on a ceasefire, Iran’s nuclear programme, or the Strait of Hormuz. Fisher also unpacks Trump’s last‑minute decision to cancel a follow‑up trip to Islamabad, his insistence that Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon”, and his belief that a blockade on Iranian oil will force Tehran back to the table on US terms.
Manuel Rapalo profiles the three men Trump has empowered. He contrasts Vance – seen as the anti‑interventionist heir to the MAGA movement and now the public face of a war he opposed – with Kushner and Witkoff, whose backgrounds are in real estate, not nuclear diplomacy. Rapalo lays out their mixed record: Kushner’s role in the Abraham Accords and Gaza ceasefire efforts, Witkoff’s shuttle diplomacy with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and their joint talks with Iran in Oman and Geneva that were followed by US air strikes, deepening Tehran’s distrust. He shows why Iranian officials quietly signalled a preference for Vance, whom they view as both anti‑war and politically eager to end the conflict quickly.
In the studio, Republican strategist John Feehery and former US ambassador Gordon Gray debate whether trust and direct access to Trump can compensate for limited diplomatic experience. Gray argues that negotiators who lack deep expertise must be backed by strong technical teams, while Feehery stresses that Trump wants loyalists who share his business‑style approach and can sell any eventual deal to a divided American public. Both agree that for Vance, this is the defining foreign‑policy test of his vice‑presidency and possibly his 2028 ambitions: a bad deal hurts him, no deal hurts him, and even a “good” deal may not satisfy either side.
John Holman analyses how US media have responded to the stalled talks, Trump’s Fox News call‑ins and his decision to “do it by telephone” rather than send negotiators back to Pakistan. He highlights headlines warning that Kushner and Witkoff may be “making things worse” and points to the split‑screen optics of Vance announcing failure in Islamabad while Trump watches a UFC fight in Miami.
Alex Baird then tracks the online backlash, from critics saying Kushner and Witkoff are “in way over their heads” to viral posts arguing that Trump’s choice of negotiators signals how serious – or unserious – he is about a deal.
This is America asks whether Trump’s reliance on a loyal, narrow inner circle is a bold challenge to traditional diplomacy or a high‑risk experiment that leaves the Iran peace process – and JD Vance’s political future – hanging on talks that may never deliver the breakthrough both sides claim to want.

US media outlet Axios reports Iran and sent a proposal to the US to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war – with the stipulation that negotiations on it’s nuclear programme be held sometime in the future.
Dania Thafer, executive director of the Gulf International Forum, said the move is an effort to “decouple” the strait from the contentious nuclear issue, which the United States insists is the main obstacle to peace.
“It seems like they’re not even going to negotiate about the core issue and the reason why this war – from the US perspective – was started,” Thafer told Al Jazeera.
“The nuclear issue is Washington’s red line. Before this [war], when the Iranians and Americans were negotiating, the nuclear issue was much more [prominent] at the table. But right now, with Iran’s new proposal, it’s changed that, and I don’t think the US will likely agree to that.”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the US has no clear exit strategy with their war on Iran, warning "an entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership”.
Relations between Iran and Russia are extensive in terms of military cooperation, says Foad Izadi, associate professor at the University of Tehran.
This comes as Iran’s FM Araghchi arrived in Russia this morning for meetings including with President Putin.
“Iran’s air defence systems are not at the level that they need to be. So I think Iran is hoping that Russia could help on that issue,” he told Al Jazeera.
“Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council. It vetoed a Bahrain-US resolution against Iran a couple of weeks ago. So Iran wants to make sure it is on board politically and can help Iran in places like the Security Council.”

The 2026 Global Report on Food Crises warns that millions in Sudan are facing acute food shortages after three years of war.
Sieges by the Rapid Support Forces have severely disrupted food access and aid delivery, prompting famine declarations in parts of Darfur and South Kordofan last year.
Nearly 25 million people, about half the population, now face crisis-level hunger, including 4.2 million children under five.
Civilians who fled to Khartoum describe severe scarcity, soaring prices and limited humanitarian assistance, while aid organisations report funding cuts and warn the number of people in need may rise again.

Water sustains life, but what happens when it is weaponised? In the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran, desalination plants supplying millions in the Gulf have become targets.

Nearly two months after attacks on Strait of Hormuz linked to the war on Iran, Asian markets are showing mixed signals.
Stock markets across the region remain resilient, buoyed by strong investor confidence and growth in artificial intelligence sectors.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged past key levels, while South Korea’s KOSPI also posted gains.
However, high fuel prices continue to weigh on economies, with energy costs significantly above pre-war levels.
In South Korea, prices are about 18% higher, pushing inflation to a three-month high.
The government has launched a cash relief programme targeting 35.8 million low- and middle-income earners.
Despite market optimism, uncertainty remains as investors monitor ceasefire stability and diplomatic efforts.

The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is being tested.
Two people have been killed by Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon in the past few hours, bringing the death toll to 22 over the weekend.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has reiterated that the group rejects direct negotiations with Israel, saying Lebanon should return to national unity and that talks only benefit “the enemy”. He also reaffirmed that Hezbollah will not give up its arms.
Israeli forces continue to occupy villages near the border, preventing residents from returning home, whilst Netanyahu claims the operation will stop Hezbollah attacks—a goal that has yet to be achieved.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi blamed the US for the apparent lack of progress in talks to end the US-Israel war on Iran, as he arrived in Russia for a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.
Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla are travelling to the United States on a state visit aimed at repairing strained UK–US relations.
The trip comes as tension rises over Britain's refusal to allow American jets to fly offensive missions against Iran from British bases.
US President Donald Trump has criticised UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the decision, saying "this is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with."
The British government is hoping royal diplomacy and carefully managed events—including a meeting in the Oval Office with no video cameras—can help smooth over the rift, despite Trump's unpredictability.

Hours after gunshots echoed through this year’s White House Correspondents' Association dinner, security measures for US President Donald Trump are once again under scrutiny. Some law enforcement experts say the Secret Service did ‘exactly what they were supposed to do’.
The Lebanese government says Israeli strikes on Sunday killed 14 people, including two children, despite a US-brokered ceasefire, as Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli troops on the outskirts of Kafr Kila and in Taybeh in the south.
Both sides are accusing the other of violating the truce, but Hezbollah has "drawn a line in the sand," reiterating it will not accept a one-sided ceasefire.
The Israeli military acknowledged that one soldier was killed and six others injured in Taybeh, where Hezbollah launched a drone attack during an Israeli evacuation helicopter mission.
Israel has issued new forced evacuation orders for at least seven villages located north of the Litani River and dropped leaflets over the Tyre district warning residents to avoid moving south of at least 20 villages, with Israeli forces saying they plan to target what they call Hezbollah sites.
Hezbollah has increased the tempo of its operations and is "hurting Israeli troops in that occupation zone," while continuing to launch drones and rockets across the border into northern Israel, putting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "in a difficult position."
On the Lebanese government's direct talks with Israel, the government is "negotiating under fire," causing internal tensions, with Hezbollah arguing that what is being agreed in those negotiations is the disarmament of the group — "what the Israeli military failed to do."

Investigators in the United States are working to understand why a gunman attempted to storm the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., an event attended by President Donald Trump and senior officials on Saturday.
The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, allegedly ran through a security perimeter before being confronted by Secret Service agents. Gunfire was reported inside the packed venue as chaos unfolded.
Footage shows officials, including Vice President JD Vance, being rushed from the stage, while security teams moved to evacuate President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Authorities have since searched the suspect’s home in California for evidence, including a possible manifesto referenced by the President. However, key questions remain about motive and planning.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner—typically a celebration of press freedom and political life—was abruptly disrupted as top officials were forced into emergency evacuation.

More than ten million people have reportedly suffered pollution-related illnesses this year, as fires—many caused by human activity—continue to burn across mountainous terrain.
With limited resources, volunteer firefighters, hill-tribe communities, and even a Buddhist monk are stepping in to protect forests and communities. Some are using drones and traditional knowledge to track hotspots, while others risk their lives on the ground.
Despite increased firefighting efforts, calls are growing for stronger national clean air laws, as activists warn the crisis will persist without urgent action.

Abbas Araghchi is heading to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin, as Iran intensifies diplomatic efforts amid rising tensions with the United States.
Araghchi’s visit follows a regional tour that included stops in Oman and Pakistan, along with consultations with partners across the Gulf and wider region, including Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
A key focus of discussions is the security of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route, amid escalating incidents involving naval forces.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has cancelled plans to send envoys to Pakistan, saying Tehran’s latest proposal was “not good enough”.
Iran says it remains open to negotiations but is seeking guarantees on security, sovereignty and an end to hostilities. However, deep mistrust between the two sides continues to complicate diplomatic efforts.
Regional and international actors are now stepping up mediation attempts, raising cautious hopes for a possible framework to ease tensions.

US authorities have identified the suspect accused of storming the lobby near the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., triggering a major security incident involving Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Police say 31-year-old Cole Allen was arrested at the scene and is expected to face federal charges, including assault on a federal officer and using a firearm during a violent crime. Authorities say he was armed with a shotgun, pistol, and knives, and appeared to be acting alone.
Investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation have searched the suspect’s home in Torrance, as officials work to determine his motive.
Reports indicate the suspect may have traveled across the country by train before arriving in Washington and checking into the hotel hosting the event. Questions are mounting over how he was able to bypass security measures at one of the most heavily protected gatherings in the US capital.
The incident has renewed debate over security protocols at high-profile events attended by senior government officials.

Technology firm Palantir has sparked global outrage after publishing a 22-point manifesto envisioning a future of autonomous weapons and deep integration between big tech and government. The doctrine has intensified debate about the growing power of Silicon Valley and its ties to militaries accused of war crimes.
This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with economist and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis about what Palantir's manifesto really reveals, and why Varoufakis believes big tech is peddling an ideology he compares to the racial hierarchies of Nazism and apartheid.
