Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) US and Israeli jets struck Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and other targets, hours after President Donald Trump had suggested negotiations with Tehran over an interim deal were progressing.

(2) Israel will intensify its strikes against Hezbollah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, amid stepped-up negotiations between the US and Iran to bring an end to the conflict in the region.

(3) Bloomberg Economics has found that find that 27% of workers in advanced economies — more than 120 million in the 31 countries  — are likely to be meaningfully affected by AI. That's as Pope Leo XIV said artificial intelligence should be “disarmed” to protect humanity from its dangers.

(4) Ebola is spreading faster in Democratic Republic of Congo than responders can contain it, the World Health Organization warned, as suspected deaths climbed above 220 and treatment centers came under attack in the country’s conflict-hit east.

(5) The first heat wave of the season continues to scorch Europe over the coming week, sending temperatures toward monthly records in the UK, France and Spain.

(6) Israel's economy slumped in the first quarter of the year due to the fallout of the war with Iran. The country has been in a near constant state of conflict over the past 2 years. It is seeing a brain drain, falling foreign direct investment and ballooning defense budgets -- all as Israel prepares to hold elections by October.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) One inflation spike in the 2020s might be an accident, the world’s biggest bond markets seem to have decided, but two looks like an alarming new trend.

(2) The euro area will slow markedly while suffering the fastest inflation since 2023 as it succumbs to the energy-cost surge from the Iran war, according to the European Commission.

(3) Confidence among the lowest-earning Britons plunged in May and even those on average pay are digging into savings to meet everyday expenses as the Iran energy shock hits household budgets, a key survey found.

(4) Iran said the latest proposal from the US partly bridged the gap between the warring sides, but comments from the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader about keeping Tehran’s uranium stockpile and a dispute over tolls in the Strait of Hormuz clouded the outlook for a breakthrough.

(5) President Donald Trump said he would send an additional 5,000 troops to Poland, reversing course on a plan to suspend an Army deployment to the country amid a feud with other NATO nations over what he saw as their refusal to help in the Iran war.

(6) Jennifer Zabasajja joins the show to discuss how the Ebola outbreak in Africa compares with previous ones, the impact of aid cuts and how serious the crisis could get. You can hear more of Jennifer's reporting on the topic on this week's Next Africa Podcast
