— Today in The World Watches, we focus on the Gaza ceasefire outline. As evening fell over Tel Aviv and Gaza’s shoreline, Israel’s cabinet approved an outline to release all remaining hostages and pause fighting as part of a phased deal announced in Egypt. The U.S. will send about 200 troops to help monitor compliance via a civil-military coordination center. Why it leads: scale — 69,100+ confirmed dead and mass displacement demand relief; geopolitics — EU-Latin America blowback over flotilla seizures raised diplomatic costs; timing — two years of war and months of shuttle diplomacy set conditions. Historical context: since August, mediators floated 60-day truce concepts with sequenced swaps and mapped withdrawals; verification, border controls, and guarantor roles for Egypt/Qatar/UN remain the hard edges.

— Today in Global Gist: - Philippines: A magnitude 7.6 quake off Mindanao triggered tsunami warnings and evacuations; a 6.9 in the central Philippines last week killed dozens, underscoring seismic vulnerability. - Ukraine: Russia launched a major drone–missile barrage on Kyiv targeting the power grid, part of sustained strikes on energy sites in recent weeks. - United States: Shutdown Day 9 furloughs hundreds of thousands; service disruptions deepen as legal fights over National Guard deployments persist. - Belgium: Police foiled a jihadist-inspired drone plot near the prime minister’s residence; three suspects arrested. - Peru: Congress convenes a late-night impeachment debate for President Boluarte amid 2–4% approval and corruption claims. - India–UK: New £350m Thales missile deal announced during PM Starmer’s visit. - Tech/Economy: China tightens rare earth export controls; U.S. rare earth stocks surge. Cl0p-linked hackers exploited Oracle E‑Business Suite to loot data from dozens of firms. - Africa: ICC convicted a Darfur militia leader for war crimes — a landmark for accountability. Underreported, confirmed by our historical scan: - Sudan’s cholera emergency: suspected cases in the hundreds of thousands amid 80% hospital collapse; limited vaccination just began in Darfur; funding shortfalls persist. - Haiti: UN authorized a 5,550-strong mission, but appeals remain under 10% funded as gangs seize 90% of Port-au-Prince; heavy clashes erupted near a cabinet meeting. - Myanmar (Rakhine): Arakan Army controls 14 of 17 townships; junta blockades drive famine conditions and threaten pipelines/ports; aid access is choked.

— Today in Insight Analytica, we connect the threads. Conflicts that destroy power, water, and clinics turn disease into mass-casualty events — Sudan’s cholera surge is the caution. Trade and tech controls (rare earths, tariffs) are re‑wiring supply chains while cyber crews hunt the weak seams of corporate ERPs. Disasters stack: a Mindanao tsunami alert arrives as a U.S. shutdown trims response bandwidth and companies face supply hits from factory fires and shipping rule changes. Ceasefires that stick pair security guarantees with rapid service restoration.

— Today in Regional Rundown: - Europe: France scrambles for a new PM after talks failed; EU leaders push defense autonomy while sparring over rules and Ukraine; Belgium arrests suspects in a drone terror plot; Czech coalition talks tilt Russia‑friendly, with a Ukraine aid cut mooted. - Eastern Europe: Russia intensifies grid attacks; Ukraine extends drone strikes on refineries and pumping stations. - Middle East: Israel–Hamas first-phase deal approved in outline; flotilla fallout lingers in EU capitals; UNIFIL violations keep the Lebanon front tense. - Africa: Sudan’s RSF brutality and cholera spike; Mozambique displacement surges in Cabo Delgado; Mali’s fuel blockade cripples Bamako. - Indo‑Pacific: Mindanao quake spurs tsunami alerts; China expands export controls; Myanmar’s blockade-driven hunger widens. - Americas: U.S. shutdown ripples through services; Haiti’s gangs test the expanded but underfunded mission; Peru’s impeachment debate heightens instability.

— Today in Social Soundbar: - Questions asked: How fast do releases and withdrawals begin under the Gaza plan, and who certifies compliance day‑to‑day? - Questions missing: Will donors surge WASH, vaccines, and staffing to Sudan before cholera’s next wave? What rules of engagement and funding protect Haiti’s civilians and police in gang-held districts? Can humanitarian corridors pierce Myanmar’s Rakhine blockade? After twin Philippine quakes, are coastal alerting and hospital surge capacities funded? As Cl0p exploits ERPs, are hospitals and utilities getting baseline cyber hardening? Cortex concludes: Ceasefires pause gunfire; systems decide what follows. Tonight’s throughline is capacity — to keep lights on in Kyiv, sirens loud in Mindanao, and clean water flowing in Darfur.
