AI Summary:
Donald Trump is planning to cut off US engagement with the United Nations Human Rights Council, an unnamed White House official told US media outlets. Trump was expected to sign an executive order withdrawing from the two UN bodies on Tuesday, the same day the White House is expected to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Since taking office for a second term on January 20, Trump has already withdrawn the US from the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement. UNRWA order comes as Netanyahu visits White House Trump’s plan to sign another executive order specifically targeting the embattled UNrWA coincides with Netanyahu’s visit to the White House. Israel’s parliament passed two bills banning UNRW operations within Israel’’s borders, including occupied East Jerusalem, which came into effect last week. UNRWA is playing a vital role in Gaza’s recovery as a fragile ceasefire continues to hold between Israel and Hamas. Trump and Netanyahu are expected to discuss the next phase of the ceasefire deal.

AI Summary:
Elon Musk is tightening his control over broad swaths of the United States government. In the two weeks since Trump’s inauguration, Musk has upended the federal bureaucracy. Musk’s lieutenants have brought the work of the US’s main foreign aid agency to a halt. “Special government employees” are subject to “most” ethics rules that apply to ordinary government employees. Under the law, they are restricted from “participating in matters” that affect their financial interests and “may” be required to submit a financial disclosure report within 30 days of assuming a position. A group of government workers filed a lawsuit against the Treasury Department and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The lawsuit alleges that DOGE’s access to the payments unlawfully compromised the privacy of millions of Americans. In a news conference, Chuck Schumer said that the US was witnessing the “hostile takeover of the federal government” by an “unelected shadow government”. Trump says Musk can’t do anything without approval of his administration. “Where we think there’s a conflict or a problem, we won’t let him go near it,” Trump says. Musk’s influence over the government showed unprecedented disregard for the law.

AI Summary:
Donald Trump published a message directed at the student protesters who participated in last year’s pro-Palestinian demonstrations. It was aimed specifically at the immigrants among the protesters. The statement was the latest sign that the fallout from the protests was far from over. Order pledges "immediate action" to "prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence" it also requires all higher education establishments to be instructed on how to "monitor for and report activities by alien students and staff" if warranted, the government can then initiate "actions to remove such aliens" As many as 3,000 student protesters were arrested at the height of the protest movement in 2024. The movement also unfolded against the backdrop of a heated US presidential election season, and Trump used the issue as part of his campaign. “The implications of this executive order go far beyond the Palestine movement,” Khalidi said. “It encourages government agencies to find ways to target any dissent from Trump’s agenda”. The order is expected to face legal challenges. A fellow at the Center for American Progress accuses the Trump administration of weaponising anti-Semitism for political gain. "It does nothing to keep Jewish students or any other Americans safe from hate or prevent terrorism," Olinsky writes. From January to July 2024, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) tallied 4,951 complaints. It also called the order an "attempt to smear the many Jewish, Muslim, Palestinian and other college students who protested” the war together.

AI Summary:
"We don’t know what was killing them," Samoa's top health official says. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says some who died in the country's 2019 measles epidemic didn't have the disease. The cause of the 83 deaths — mostly of children under age 5 — is unclear. The Samoan official wasn't the health chief during the outbreak, but confirmed key details with his predecessor. Only one autopsy was carried out and no postmortem tissue samples were sent abroad, which was not unusual because measles is a simple disease to diagnose. Ekeroma rejected that assertion, referring to social media posts by anti-vaccine advocates who posed for photos with Kennedy during his trip. Kennedy emboldened anti-vaccine contacts in Samoa, Ekeroma said. The epidemic was fueled by disinformation in social media posts in the island nation and abroad.

AI Summary:
Russian drone attacks are conspiring against Ukrainian forces in Pokrovsk. Ukrainian troops are losing ground around the crucial supply hub. Moscow is set on capturing as much territory as possible as the Trump administration is pushing for negotiations. Russia amassed a large number of infantry around Velyka Novosilka, soldiers say. A combination of factors led Kyiv to effectively lose the settlement this past week. Scattered groups of Ukrainian soldiers are still present in the region. Russian forces now occupy key dominant heights around Pokrovsk region. Russian forces are less than 4 kilometers ( 2 1/2 miles) away and are affecting Ukrainian traffic. Ukrainian soldiers say shortages of fighting troops are “catastrophic” and challenges are compounded by newly created infantry units. His battalion has almost no reserves, forcing infantry units to hold front-line positions for weeks at a time. For every one of his soldiers, Russians have 20, he said, emphasizing how outnumbered they are.
