(AP) Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of President Donald Trump who played an influential role in rallying young Republican voters, was shot and killed at a Utah college event in what the governor called a political assassination. Authorities say Kirk was killed with a single shot from a rooftop on Wednesday. Whoever fired the gun then slipped away amid the chaos of screams and students fleeing the Utah Valley University campus. Federal, state and local authorities were still searching for an unidentified shooter early Thursday. “This is a dark day for our state. It’s a tragic day for our nation,” said Utah Gov. Spencer Cox. “I want to be very clear this is a political assassination.” “We’re moving in a very dangerous direction, and I think we have been moving in this direction for quite some time,” said Kurt Braddock, an assistant professor of public communication at American University. Though nothing is publicly known about the shooter or the motive in this case, Braddock said it can’t be ignored that polarization and normalization of violence have become threaded through U.S. politics.
(AP) The Israeli army issued evacuation orders and targeted high-rise buildings in Gaza City on Saturday, urging Palestinians to flee south ahead of an escalating offensive to seize the city of nearly 1 million. Aid groups warn that a large-scale evacuation would exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza City, which the world’s leading hunger watchdog announced last month was officially suffering from famine as a result of Israeli restrictions on food aid. Most Palestinian families have been repeatedly displaced in the nearly two-year-long war and say they have nowhere left to go. The Israeli military has previously bombed tent encampments designated as humanitarian zones. “There is no safe tent, no safe house, no safe place, no safety at all,” said Nadia Marouf, who fled Israel’s offensive in the north with her children and resettled in Gaza City—only to see her tent destroyed Saturday in an Israeli airstrike that wiped out a 15-story building and surrounding encampment.
(NPR) “Action is needed, not tomorrow, but really now,” said Yap Boum of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. He’s talking about a disease that has been around for centuries—cholera—and is rearing its head again in Africa. Over the past three years, cases have more than doubled, with over 230,000 cases and nearly 5,000 deaths so far this year on the continent. Those cases are spread across 23 countries, up from 15 affected countries in 2022, according to Africa CDC. It’s a disease that is easily treatable—yet deadly. It can kill someone in a matter of hours if good medical care is not provided promptly. The infection comes from consuming water or food contaminated by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. WHO, in a situation report on cholera published last week, wrote that the situation “continues to deteriorate, driven by conflict and poverty.” It said cholera is “resurging in a number of countries, including some that had not reported substantial case numbers in years, like Chad and the Republic of Congo.”
