 Trump administration plans to end PEPFAR funding for HIV programs in South Africa over policy disputes The Trump administration plans to terminate U.S. funding for HIV initiatives in South Africa under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief due to deepening policy disagreements. The U.S. State Department is initiating a phased wind-down of financial support allocated to South Africa, which currently assists in caring for roughly 8 million people living with HIV. Established in 2003 by former President George W. Bush, PEPFAR has partnered with health authorities in more than 50 countries over the last two decades. Official data indicates the program has saved an estimated 25 million lives and averted millions of new HIV infections globally.

 Angel Reese becomes fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds

Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese hit a major milestone on Saturday, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to record 1,000 career rebounds. Reese reached the historic mark in only 79 games, eclipsing the previous record of 89 games set by former league standout Tina Charles.

The record-breaking moment occurred with 4:29 left in the third quarter of Atlanta's 113-96 dominant win over the Indiana Fever. Reese contributed 18 points and eight rebounds to the victory, extending Atlanta's winning streak to three games.

The 6-foot-4 forward currently leads the WNBA with an average of 11.9 rebounds per game. Following the matchup, Reese noted that securing offensive boards requires immense effort and constant crashing in the paint to generate second-chance points, emphasizing that rebounding is far more challenging than it appears.

Reese also addressed ongoing criticism from skeptics who claim her rebounding statistics are inflated by tracking her own missed shots. She dismissed that narrative, pointing out that her aggressive rebounding on both her own and her teammates' field goal attempts creates extra possessions and scoring opportunities, proving her nightly consistency on the floor.

Now playing her first season with Atlanta, Reese expressed the importance of recognizing her personal growth and early career success while maintaining a high standard for her future performance.

Atlanta's victory was propelled by a balanced offensive attack, with Rhyne Howard scoring 24 points and Allisha Gray contributing 22 points. Caitlin Clark paced the Indiana Fever with a team-high 26 points in a highly anticipated matchup that drew a sold-out crowd of 17,044 fans to State Farm Arena.
