Canada shooting, Epstein fallout across Europe, Cuba collapses, South Africa turns to China, and Cyclone destruction in Madagascar

A tragic mass shooting at a school and residence in British Columbia. The political fallout of released Epstein documents, noting that European officials have faced swift resignations and criminal probes while the American response remains comparatively stagnant. Attorney General Pam Bondi faced a volatile congressional hearing regarding the handling of these sensitive files and allegations of lawmaker surveillance. Cuba is enduring a humanitarian emergency and power grid collapse due to intensified American sanctions, while South Africa is pivoting toward China for trade to bypass high U.S. tariffs. And, the catastrophic destruction in Madagascar following Cyclone Gezani, which has left dozens dead and major cities in ruins.
