Global Stories Shaping Our World

The Israeli military says Hamas returned the bodies of three soldiers as Egypt and Qatar

media talks, Reuters reports, a major update in breaking news.

Nepal officials say seven climbers die after an avalanche strikes a Himalayan base camp

following heavy snowfall. AP reports, what's happening in government today.

The Victorian government says it plans to sign Australia's first treaty with Indigenous peoples,

ABC News Australia reports. Let's hear from Cassandra Joyce.

Why it matters, supporters say a statewide treaty offers practical steps towards self-determination

after generations of disadvantage.

State officials say the framework sets shared decision-making, funding for First Nations priorities,

and a path for local agreements.

ABC News Australia reports legal scholars welcome clearer processes, but warn of overlap with federal and state law.

The debate follows the failed voice referendum in 2023,

and leaders indicate community consultations will guide next steps.

Financial news and market trends up next.

Bloomberg reports Kimberly Clark is in talks to buy Kenvu in a deal topping $40 billion.

Neither company has confirmed.

Reuters reports China has spent years boosting self-reliance in chips, energy, and critical

minerals to curb Western exposure.

Cassandra Joyce reports on this story.

White Matters, the strategy is reshaping supply chains and raising costs for manufacturers

as firms diversify away from China.

Officials frame self-reliance as a buffer against trade shocks and sanctions,

and Reuters notes expanded domestic output in semiconductors, energy, and critical minerals.

Trade partners answer with tariffs, export controls, and investment reviews.

Analysts say long-term industrial policy signals a durable shift businesses must price in.

From gadgets to breakthroughs, here's what's new.

Elon Musk says Tesla is targeting robotaxi fleets in San Francisco and Austin by December,

according to company remarks.

Kara Swift is here with more details.

Musk says he aims for about 1,000 robotaxas in the Bay Area and 500 in Austin by year-end,

outlined in recent company comments.

The cars use Tesla's full self-driving system.

Regulators still require safety drivers.

Analysts say a pilot could cut ride costs and test safety at scale.

City rules on permits, curb space, and data reporting will shape timing and scope.

Now, let's cover scientific developments.

NOAA and the European Space Agency warn solar storms near the 2025 Solar Maximum Pose

rising risks to thousands of satellites.

Nathaniel Cohen reports on this story.

More than 10,000 satellites now circle Earth, and solar storms increasingly threaten them.

NOAA says surges in drag and radiation can scramble electronics and push low-orbit craft

off-course.

SpaceX's Starlink sits on the front line.

SpaceX said a 2022 storm knocked dozens of new Starlinks from orbit.

Operators add shielding, tweak software, and adjust altitudes.

But risk remains. Scientists say solar activity peaks around 2025, raising stakes for internet

and navigation services. This is Nathaniel Cohen for Neural Newscast.

Researchers say a model called Nicheformer maps tissue organization across more than 110

million cells in a study published in Nature. From the World Desk, here's what's new.

The Maldives is weighing a generational smoking ban for those born on or after January 1, 2007,

state media and health officials say.

Environmental challenges and solutions ahead.

A decade after the Paris Agreement,

UNEP's latest report says outlooks improved,

yet warming still likely exceeds global targets.

Let's hear from Stephen Summers.

UNEP projects roughly 2.8 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100, an improvement from pre-205 forecasts.

The Paris Agreement sped growth in wind, solar, and EVs, the IEA and UNEP report.

Still, the world misses the goal of holding warming well below 2 degrees.

Scientists say emissions must fall steeply this decade.

The stakes remain high. Every tenth of a degree brings more extreme heat, floods, and costly

disruptions. This is Stephen Summers for Neural Newscast. Continuing with more top stories.

That wraps our roundup for this hour.
