USA – Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, surprised everyone by showing up at a Donald Trump rally in Beverly Hills. They arrived in Kanye’s Tesla Cybertruck, which drew a lot of attention. Kanye tried to speak, but the crowd was too loud for anyone to hear him. Bianca looked uncomfortable during the event. Kanye has supported Trump before, but he hasn’t said anything about the upcoming election between Trump and Kamala Harris.
Philippines – The Philippines has reported its first mpox case since December. The patient is a 33-year-old man who hasn’t travelled recently. The health department is waiting for test results to find out more about the virus. This is the 10th mpox case in the country, with the first one reported in July 2022. The man started feeling sick with a fever, then developed a rash. The World Health Organization has declared mpox a global health emergency after it spread from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
China – A fire broke out on the decommissioned Soviet aircraft carrier Minsk, which is now a tourist attraction in China. The fire started during renovations in Nantong, Jiangsu province. The fire, which took about 24 hours to put out, caused severe damage to the ship’s superstructure, but no one was hurt. The ship was being prepared for a new military theme park, but the fire might affect those plans. The Minsk was originally part of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.
Russia – The Shiveluch volcano in Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula erupted after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the area. The eruption sent huge clouds of ash three miles into the air, leading to warnings for planes to avoid the area. The earthquake caused heavy shaking and damage in the nearby city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Satellite images show the volcano is still active, and experts say the eruption is ongoing. A tsunami warning was issued but later cancelled. Shiveluch has erupted many times before, with the last big eruption in 2007.
