The United States and Iran are expected to meet in Oman on Friday, with Tehran insisting talks be limited to the nuclear programme and US sanctions. Washington signals a broader scope, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging inclusion of ballistic missiles, regional activities and human rights, following envoy Steve Witkoff’s meeting with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu. The talks come amid a US military build-up and mistrust, as Iran also engages partners in Beijing and Moscow, with Deputy Foreign Minister Qasem Ghalibabadi holding consultations in China.

Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halket joins live from Washington, DC, and Tohid Asadi reports live from Tehran.

Malik Samuel, a senior researcher at Good Governance Africa, joins Al Jazeera live from Abuja. He says the deadly attack on Muguru community in north-central Nigeria was likely carried out by a Boko Haram faction, not bandits, based on the group’s known tactics and local testimonies. Samuel adds that the attack highlights a broader failure by Nigerian authorities to protect remote communities, blaming slow security responses, poor infrastructure, and a lack of proactive action against armed groups.

What happens when a person has no country?

Citizens of Nowhere is a documentary short about stateless people in the United States - individuals who, through circumstance or legal technicality, belong to no nation. Without passports, citizenship or legal recognition, they live in a state of uncertainty.

From finding work and accessing education, to simply existing within a system that does not officially recognise them, stateless people face endless bureaucratic barriers.

This documentary short by Alicia Sully questions what citizenship really means, and what happens when a person has none.

A What Took You So Long? production, in association with United Stateless (https://www.unitedstateless.org/)

More than 9,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons.
A report by Israeli rights organisation B’Tselem reveals the inhumane treatment they endure.
The report finds at least 84 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention centres since the war on Gaza began in October 2023.
Israel has yet to hand over 80 of the bodies.
Testimonies gathered by B’Tselem indicate Palestinians face systematic physical, psychological and sexual abuse. The organisation describes Israeli prisons as a network of torture camps.
It says the denial of medical care is a method of torture itself, and leads to irreversible harm, such as amputations and loss of hearing and eyesight.
The report states living conditions in Israeli prisons remain inhumane, with overcrowding, prolonged shackling, deliberate starvation and the denial of basic hygiene.

Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim reports on the toll these abuses have taken on Palestinians.

The Israel-Palestine director of Human Rights Watch (HRW) has resigned in protest, saying the organisation’s new chief blocked a report accusing Israel of committing “crimes against humanity” in its denial of Palestinian refugees’ right of return.

Omar Shakir, who has worked for the rights group for more than 10 years, told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that the report “sought to connect the erasure of camps in Gaza with the emptying of camps in the West Bank, with the full assault led by the Israeli government against UNRWA, the [United Nations] aid agency for Palestinian refugees and underscoring how in the midst of this Nakba 2.0 that we’re seeing unfold beyond us, it’s critical that we learn the lessons from Nakba 1.0”.

Omar Shakir is live from Amman, Jordan to speak more about this.

US funding cuts threaten African research as scientists and researchers from the United States and Africa meet in Senegal to discuss the future of innovation on the continent. Since 2025, nearly three billion dollars in research funding has been cut or frozen under President Donald Trump, with public health, vaccine research and climate science particularly affected. African scientists say projects have been derailed, including cutting-edge work turning peanut shells into batteries. As US focus shifts to rare earth minerals, funding for research by Africans, for Africans, is stalling.

Abu Sayed, a student protester, was fatally shot by police outside Rangpur University gates on 16 July 2024, sparking mass demonstrations that toppled Bangladesh's government and led to this month's elections.
His defiant final stand, broadcast live, became the defining image of the revolution.
Whilst his family and fellow protesters hope for justice and systemic change, many express concern that the country's deep-rooted inequality, corruption and nepotism remain largely unaddressed, with the top 1 percent holding a quarter of the nation's wealth.

Tensions are escalating in Ethiopia's Tigray region following a weekend drone strike that killed civilians, with the regional government accusing the national army of carrying out the attack. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed addressed parliament, blaming the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) for ongoing problems whilst highlighting the presence of Eritrean forces in Tigray, which he accused of committing mass atrocities. Internal divisions within the TPLF and fears of renewed conflict have prompted some residents to flee, as communities still recovering from a war that killed over 100,000 people call for de-escalation.

The Syrian army has entered the northeastern city of Qamishli, one of the last strongholds of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. It's part of a ceasefire deal and an agreement that's meant to see the SDF integrate into the Syrian army. A large convoy of trucks was seen entering the city. A daytime curfew was declared, which authorities say is needed to 'maintain order during the transition.' Syrian government forces have established control over most of the country in the past few weeks.
