 Angelina Jolie says her “fighting spirit is finally back” as her children help her rebuild after health struggles Angelina Jolie has spoken openly about how her six children have helped her regain strength after a difficult stretch marked by health challenges and the end of her marriage. Speaking to Variety, the 51-year-old actress said she feels like she is slowly returning to herself again while discussing her new film Couture, which explores illness and identity in a way that closely mirrors parts of her own journey. “I think my fighting spirit is finally back,” Jolie said. “I lost it for a bit. I got kind of taken down a little bit and it’s coming back in large part thanks to my children, who are now older, and encouraging it.” In the film, Jolie portrays an American director working in Europe who receives a breast cancer diagnosis while on assignment for a fashion project.  The story reflects themes that have personal meaning for her, especially given her own decision in...

 DR Congo denies handing over its mineral wealth in Trump peace deal


The Democratic Republic of Congo has not "sold off" its vast mineral wealth to the United States under an agreement granting Washington access to its reserves, the country's mining minister has said.


The agreement signed in December opens access to copper, cobalt, coltan and lithium to US companies, alongside a peace accord aimed at ending a long-running conflict in the eastern DRC.


US President Donald Trump hailed the accord at the time as a new era of harmony and cooperation that would bring peace and prosperity across the region.


"The DRC has not sold off anything at all. The DRC has not sold anything at all," minister Louis Watum said on the sidelines of the African Mining Indaba conference in Cape Town, rejecting suggestions Kinshasa had ceded ground in talks with Washington.


Framework for talks


Watum said the agreement - which has yet to halt fighting in the east - creates a framework for talks with US companies on potential projects.


"Some may invest and others not. And when they do, it will be in strict compliance with the mining code," he said.


The DRC has submitted a list of strategic projects to Washington that will be reviewed in coming weeks by a joint steering committee, Vice Premier Daniel Mukoko Samba said at Davos in January.


Asked about US-China rivalry in the Congolese mining sector, Watum said Kinshasa was focused on domestic priorities, such as education and jobs for its 120 million people.


"We're not interested in that. We have to play our own game as DRC," he said, Reuters reported.


Resources untapped


The DRC's wealth in natural resources remains largely untapped, with only about 10 percent currently developed, Watum said.


"There is space for everyone," he added, comparing the country's current position in global supply chains to Saudi Arabia's role in oil markets in the 1980s.


The central African nation holds some of the world's richest deposits of copper, cobalt, coltan and lithium and accounted for 76 percent of global cobalt output in 2024, according to the US Geological Survey.


Demand for the metals is rising across defence, artificial intelligence data centres and the energy transition.
