 Ebola outbreak in Congo spreads rapidly, WHO warns of 'very high' risk amid conflict and shortages  The World Health Organization says an Ebola outbreak in Congo is spreading rapidly and now carries a “very high” risk within the country, as overwhelmed health services, limited supplies, and community resistance hinder containment efforts in a conflict-affected region. While officials stressed that the risk of international spread remains low, they upgraded the national risk level from “high” to “very high,” warning that the situation is likely worse than confirmed figures suggest. Health authorities report 82 confirmed cases and seven confirmed deaths, though they estimate the outbreak is significantly larger, with nearly 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths. Medical supplies are being rushed to Ituri province in the northeast, where ongoing violence and widespread displacement have made response efforts more difficult. Aid workers say mistrust, misinformation, and cl...

Daniel Radcliffe says Broadway role ‘scared’ him more than anything he’s done before Daniel Radcliffe is preparing to wrap up his run in Every Brilliant Thing, but the role that once pushed him far outside his comfort zone has now become one of the defining performances of his stage career. The 36 year old actor will take his final bow in the production on May 24, closing out a run that has earned him widespread praise and a Tony nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Play. Unlike traditional stage performances, Every Brilliant Thing demands constant interaction with the audience, something Radcliffe admits initially felt intimidating.

For the former Harry Potter star, that unpredictability was exactly what drew him in. He explained that every few years he looks for projects that genuinely frighten him as an actor, bel...
