Measles deaths have fallen sharply since 2000, yet health officials report signs of a global resurgence (WHO, 2025). Last year, Europe and Central Asia saw measles cases rise 47 per cent, mainly due to declining vaccination rates. Officials warn that decades of progress in preventing infections and deaths now risk reversal. In 2024, measles killed roughly 95,000 people worldwide, mostly children under five, down from 780,000 deaths in 2000. The WHO stresses that “every death from a disease preventable with a highly effective and low-cost vaccine is unacceptable” (WHO, 2025). Vaccination campaigns have saved nearly 59 million lives since 2000.…

The UN climate summit failed to deliver a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, leaving the EU increasingly isolated. COP30 in Belém ended with a final text that avoided any clear plan, drawing criticism that called it an empty deal and a moral failure. The United States withdrew from international climate negotiations, creating both a political and financial vacuum, while President Donald Trump dismissed climate change as a “con job.” Countries that rely heavily on fossil-fuel revenues, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, openly opposed any targets for reducing fossil fuel dependence. One day before the summit concluded, the EU…
Astronomers traced Theia, the vanished planet that helped form the Moon, using lunar and Earth rock samples.New research suggests Theia formed closer to the Sun than scientists previously believed.The giant impact theory proposes Theia struck early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago.Debris from that collision coalesced into the Moon, mixing material from both Theia and Earth.Scientists have debated this theory since the first Apollo lunar samples more than 50 years ago.Theia disappeared completely, leaving no direct chemical evidence to confirm its properties or origin.Researchers in France, Germany, and the United States analysed ancient rocks to identify Theia’s birthplace.Jake Foster of…
