 New Sudanese notes circulate in RSF areas, deepening de facto split Newly issued Sudanese pounds have begun ​circulating in territory controlled by a paramilitary group fighting the national army, raising questions about the source of the ‌notes and potentially deepening the country's de facto division. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) - which cooperated with Sudan's armed forces before the two fell out and began fighting a war in April 2023 - now controls large swathes of the country, including the vast western Darfur region. Last year, the RSF set up a parallel cabinet, known as the "Tasis" government, ​in areas under its control and has gradually sought to assume functions such as paying civil servant salaries. Control over Sudan's ​currency has been a point of contention since 2024, when the army-led government declared old Sudanese pounds invalid ⁠and began issuing new 500 and 1,000-pound notes. The RSF declared the new notes invalid, and cash gradually became...

 Senate Republicans reject Iran war powers resolution in late-night vote to appease President Donald Trump    Senate Republicans rejected a symbolic war powers resolution on Iran in a late-night session on Wednesday, a swift about-face intended to mollify President Donald Trump just one day after a similar measure had cleared the chamber. The 47-50-1 vote took place shortly before midnight, after which the Senate adjourned for a two-week recess. The sudden legislative reversal followed a contentious closed-door GOP luncheon earlier in the day, during which Trump aggressively criticized Republican lawmakers for allowing Tuesday's rebuke of his foreign policy. The face-to-face confrontation escalated a widening rift between the White House and congressional Republicans, which has increasingly stalled Senate business and distracted from GOP legislative messaging on economic affordability ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. The exchange was particularly hostile between T...

 American boy, 12, injured in shark attack during Bahamas family tour  A 12-year-old boy is in stable condition after being bitten by a shark on Tuesday while swimming in the Bahamas. The incident occurred during a family tour of the Exuma Cays, where the boy had been swimming alongside his brother.
