A devastating wildfire near Limassol, Cyprus, trapped two individuals in a car, killing them as extreme heat up to 44 °C fuelled the fast-spreading blaze. What We Found Police and fire officials reported that two charred bodies were discovered inside a burned-out car, believed to have been trapped in the flames that erupted Wednesday afternoon in the Malia/Souni region, about 100 km² burned in wine- and forest-rich terrain outside Limassol. At least 10 people were injured, two severely, and over 100 residents evacuated from 14 villages as the fire raged across multiple fronts.

Zelensky Announces New Draft Law to Restore Anti‑Corruption Agency Independence

Following widespread protests and international criticism over a law curbing the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies, President Zelensky has announced a new draft bill designed to restore autonomy to NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti‑Corruption Prosecutor’s Office). What We Found On July 22, 2025, Ukraine’s parliament passed, and Zelensky signed into law, legislation that significantly increased the authority of the prosecutor general—an appointed ally—over NABU and SAPO, undermining their independence. This sparked the largest wartime protests since Russia’s invasion, with demonstrators across Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro, and Odessa demanding the bill be vetoed. Thousands took to the streets with banners reading “We chose Europe, not autocracy,” warning that the law tilted Ukraine back toward authoritarianism and jeopardized EU aspirations. Local and international bodies—including Transparency International Ukraine and EU officials—criticized the reform as a major setback. In response, […]

White House Rejects WSJ Claim Trump Named in Epstein Files

The Wall Street Journal reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed President Trump in May that his name appears multiple times in Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein—suggesting potential association. What We Found WSJ reported Trump was briefed in May by AG Pam Bondi that his name appeared among many high-profile individuals in Epstein-related DOJ files. The mention was described as "unverified hearsay". Reuters corroborates this briefing but notes the White House “sent mixed signals”: initially calling it fake news, but acknowledging it did not deny the reporting outright. White House communications director Steven Cheung condemned the claim, calling it “fake news” crafted by Democrats and the liberal media. Expert Insight Officials clarified that being named in the files does not imply wrongdoing, but was part of a routine briefing on unverified allegations to Trump. This revelation coincides with […]

UN: 6,000 Lorry Loads of Aid Ready for Gaza, Israel Must Allow Access

The United Nations says it has stacked up 6,000 lorry‑loads of aid supplies—enough to feed Gaza for two months—ready at border crossings and is urging Israel to allow access to distribute it to civilians in need. What We Found According to the UN and WFP, more than 140,000 tonnes of food—equivalent to about 6,000 truckloads—are assembled at crossings for entry into Gaza. This stockpile could feed the enclave’s population for two months if allowed. However, Israel continues to restrict access, causing a bottleneck and widespread shortages. As of 22 May 2025, only around 90 trucks had been allowed in post‑blockade, far short of daily needs. When allowed, aid moves slowly due to Israeli-imposed security checks and limited access routes. UN aid chiefs have warned that delaying approvals means UNRWA and WFP must rely on emergency interim systems, while malnutrition and […]

UNICEF Lauds Ghana’s $24 m Vaccine Payment

UNICEF has commended the Government of Ghana for completing its $24.5 million vaccine co‑financing obligation for 2025, describing the payment as vital for sustaining national immunisation efforts and protecting children’s health. What We Found UNICEF Representative Osama Makkawi Khogali confirmed Ghana fulfilled the 2025 vaccine co‑financing payment of $24.5 million, restoring the government's strong pre-pandemic track record. The payment ensures no vaccine stock-outs, protects herd immunity among children, and strengthens Ghana’s broader health system—making immunisation more sustainable as Gavi support phases down. UNICEF noted Ghana's past delays (since 2022) were due to COVID-related economic challenges, but acknowledged this full payment signals a renewed commitment to domestic vaccine funding. Expert Insight UNICEF described the payment as a strong demonstration of political resolve to prioritise child health and reduce vaccine-preventable diseases. As development aid wanes, Ghana's move aligns with its “Transition Roadmap: Towards Self-financing of […]

Ghana Forestry Chief Sues Abronye DC for GH₵20M Defamation

Dr. Hugh C. A. Brown, Acting Chief Executive of Ghana’s Forestry Commission, has filed a GH₵20 million defamation lawsuit against political activist Kwame Baffoe (Abronye DC), alleging false claims of document forgery and unauthorized sale of forest reserves. What We Found In a broadcast on The Evidence (Ohia TV Online) on July 10, 2025, Abronye DC alleged that Dr. Brown had falsified documents and signed letters prematurely, and implied he sold parts of Jimira and Ofin Shelterbelt Forest Reserves for personal gain. On July 14, 2025, the Forestry Commission issued a rebuttal confirming Dr. Brown lawfully signed the letters in question during his appointed tenure, explaining the dated year mix‑up was a clerical error swiftly corrected before dispatch. The Commission denied any unauthorized sales, stating the forest reserves are protected public lands and the fee payments made by a private […]

GH₵13 bn for Big Push Insufficient – Egyapa Mercer

Andrew Egyapa Mercer, Ghana’s Deputy Minister of Energy, cautioned that the GH₵13 billion allocated for the government’s flagship “Big Push” initiative in the 2025 national budget may be insufficient to deliver its ambitious development targets. What We Found Mercer made the warning public during a Newsfile broadcast on MyJoyOnline’s YouTube channel, stating explicitly: “the GH₵13 billion Allocation for the Big Push in the 2025 Budget May Be Insufficient”. He emphasized that fiscal constraints and heavy debt burdens limit government capacity to fund major infrastructure and social investments effectively. Expert Insight Analysts note that Ghana’s debt levels and limited borrowing capacity hamper ambitious development financing. This raises genuine concerns over whether GH₵13 billion can deliver the intended economic outcomes or keep pace with rising costs and scale. Mercer’s remarks have been seen as a realistic fiscal assessment, highlighting the need for clear funding strategies […]

SMLM‑G Chair Demands Decision‑Making Role for Lab Managers

Dr. David Sebbie Sackey, Chair of the Society of Medical Laboratory Managers–Ghana (SMLM‑G), is urging the government to grant medical laboratory managers formal decision-making authority at facility and policy levels to improve healthcare delivery and service quality. What We Found In a public appeal, Dr. Sackey highlighted the absence of codified conditions of service for lab professionals and emphasized the need for their institutional inclusion in decision-making forums and leadership roles. Opinion and advocacy articles argue that lab professionals are routinely excluded from senior health facility management, with critical decisions handled by non-lab professionals despite the technical nature of diagnostics. Medical Laboratory Scientists and Technologists in Ghana have repeatedly emphasized that key decisions—like procurement of reagents, lab design, staffing, and diagnostic protocols—are taken by doctors, pharmacists, and administrators rather than experienced lab managers. Expert Insight Medical laboratory experts argue that for labs […]
