Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Kyiv is once again receiving early warnings from its partners following recent Russian missile attacks that he said occurred without enough notice. For at least a week, the Ukrainian leader has said that his country's military has not received early warnings about ballistic missiles aimed at the capital. He said such intelligence saves lives by allowing alerts to the public and giving military units time to try to intercept the missiles. Zelenskyy said the change happened after talks with his American counterparts, including a phone call with U. S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier in the day. "We are thankful that intelligence works now, and I'm speaking about early warning, which is very important for our people, for children, adults, civilians, because we can hear when ballistic is coming," Zelenskyy said on a visit to Norway.

Ebola quarantine hindering response: aid workers - National - Global News
TORONTO – The night before Lily-Madeleine Seguin was set to book her flight to the Democratic Republic of Congo in late May, the Canadian government announced a three-week quarantine for travellers returning from the Ebola-stricken country. Seguin, a public health promotion adviser with Oxfam’s global humanitarian team, had all of her final sign-offs and approvals green-lit. Her booster shots were updated. She was ready to fly out two days later for a two-month deployment when she heard the news. It came as a shock to Seguin, who has been a part of previous Ebola outbreak responses in the DRC, including an 11-month deployment in 2018. But she never went. There wouldn’t be enough time to quarantine between her return and the beginning of a sabbatical she had scheduled months before. Now, three months later, the government’s mandatory 21-day quarantine is set to expire on Aug. 29. As the outbreak rages at an unprecedented speed, Seguin said she hopes Canadian officials will reverse course. Story continues below advertisement
US has resumed sharing intelligence with Ukraine about Russian strikes, says Zelenskyy - The Guardian
The US has resumed sharing intelligence with Kyiv about Russian missile strikes, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday after a meeting with the US envoy Steve Witkoff in Norway. He said Ukraine was again receiving advance warnings of ballistic missile attacks, which were seemingly suspended last week by the White House. “Now it works. It’s great,” he said, saying the US move would save lives. The Ukrainian president added: “It’s very important for our people, for children, adults, civilians, because we can hear when ballistic [missiles] is coming. So we are thankful to the American side.”The talks in Oslo took place amid the worst crisis in US-Ukraine relations since Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion nearly five years ago. Donald Trump has bitterly accused Zelenskyy of failing to end the war and has said Ukraine needed a new leader. The US president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, joined Witkoff and Zelenskyy by video. Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, and the Finnish president, Alexander Stubb, also took part, alongside EU and British security officials. Zelenskyy said he had held a “positive” phone call earlier with the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.
Trump says he will have spent $400m to support Republicans in midterms – US politics live - The Guardian
From 2h agoTrump says he will have spent $400m to support Republican candidates in midtermsDonald Trump said that he will have spent $400m supporting Republican candidates in midterm races by the time election day rolls around on 3 November. The staggering amount will be spent through his political operation and aligned Super Pac, Maga Inc. “More than 300 Million Dollars has already been spent on Advertising, Direct and Indirect Voter Contact, Rallies, Rally Arenas, Telerallies, Get Out the Vote Programs, Election Integrity, and more. It is my Great Honor to do so on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to bring our Country back from the Edge of Oblivion,” he wrote on Truth Social. He cited his belief in the Republican party, but also the riots that have swept through France, as his reasons behind the spend. A reminder, Trump has repeated baseless claims that the demonstrations, which have descended into chaos and seen thousands arrested, are the result of mass migration.
