Global Biodefense Unusual spike in human infections highlights ongoing risks at the human-animal interface and the need for cross-sectoral public health action. Between January and July 2025, Cambodian health authorities reported 11 laboratory-confirmed cases of human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1), including six fatalities. Notably, seven of these cases occurred in June alone—an unusual monthly spike. These recent infections are part of a broader resurgence that began in February 2023, after nearly a decade without reported human cases in the country. Since that re-emergence, Cambodia has confirmed 27 human infections, with a case fatality ratio (CFR) of 44%.
The recurrence of H5N1 in humans underscores persistent vulnerabilities at the human-animal interface and raises critical concerns about surveillance, biosecurity, and pandemic preparedness in regions where the virus remains endemic in animal populations.
Since Novak Djokovic first lifted the Wimbledon trophy in 2011, Centre Court has felt like his second home. And now, at 38, he’s back in the semi-finals, this time not just to chase history, but to send a message. After grinding out a four-set win over Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, Djokovic advanced to his 14th Wimbledon semi-final and 52nd Grand Slam semi-final overall. But it wasn’t just the numbers that stood out; it was the message behind them.
With a sly smile, Djokovic teased, “You want numbers?” before letting the stat speak for itself. The numbers are mind-boggling, but it’s his presence and purpose that remind everyone, including World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, that Djokovic isn’t clinging to relevance. But after the victory over Cobolli, when Djokovic was asked about how much this moment means to him. Djokovic’s response came with honesty and heart. “Wimbledon… it was, is, and still remains and always will be the most special,” he said. “It means the world to me that I’m still, you know, still able at 38 to play the final stages of Wimbledon… it’s beautiful. Makes me feel very young.”
Well, Djokovic has just made history once again, reaching a record 14 Wimbledon semi-finals and his 52nd Grand Slam semi-final.He is still hunting his 25th major at the age of 38, and that itself says a lot.However, it is not merely the statistics. Each match that he wins, in particular those coming against the younger generation of players, as he has done against Flavio Cobolli and now awaits Jannik Sinner, he is sending a very clear message that experience and years of playing and competing at the highest level do matter. But with this, he showed age is nothing but a matter of when your wins get counted.

Then came Djokovic’s charm, light but loaded. “Another thing that makes me feel very young is competing with youngsters, you know, like Cobolli today.” He wasn’t done. “I enjoy kind of sliding and running around the courts with him and with all the other guys. Speaking of all the young guys, you know, I’m going to have one in the next round. So I look forward to that. That’s going to be a great, great matchup.” It wasn’t trash talk; it was Novak being Novak. Honest. Calm. Deadly. And sending an indirect message to Jannik as well.

So here we are: Sinner vs. Djokovic in a semifinal with all the stakes in place.One is a 23-year-old, ranked top Italian who happens to be peaking at the right time.The other, who is 24-times a Grand Slam champion and is here so many times it almost looks like cheating.However, don’t get it wrong; Djokovic is not playing on a reputation; rather, he is playing with a point.He is familiar with the doubts; he listens to the gossip about age, but he still responds with faith.“Thank you for choosing me… at my age. I appreciate it,” he said, smiling. Experience may not trend, but it wins. And Djokovic isn’t done winning just yet. Game on. So, who do you think takes this one? The past favors Sinner, but the current form? That’s still up for debate.
Youth has the stats, but Novak Djokovic has the stage
Well, so much for age being a disadvantage. Novak Djokovic clearly proved that 38 years of age is nothing when you are Novak after he demolished 23-year-old Flavio Cobolli at Wimbledon.Seven-time winner played a bit unstable in the early part of the game as he lost the first set by tiebreak, but when he began to find his game, there was nothing anyone could do. He beat Cobolli 6–7(6), 6–2, 7–5, 6–4 in a match that had it all: moments of magic, a brief injury scare when Djokovic fell on match point, and that trademark coolness under pressure. But on his third match point, Novak was through to yet another Wimbledon semifinal. And now?

We’re getting Djokovic vs. Sinner, Round 10. Yes, that Sinner. The world number one. The man who beat Novak at this exact stage last year. Their head-to-head stands at 5–4 in Sinner’s favor, with Grand Slams split evenly at 2–2. But it’s Sinner who’s won three of their last four completed matches, including a straight-sets stunner in the 2025 French Open semifinals just last month. If you’re counting, that’s three wins on three different surfaces for the Italian over the last year. Advantage Sinner? Maybe. But with Novak, it’s never that simple.
Let’s talk receipts. Djokovic schooled a young Sinner in their first clash back in Monte Carlo in 2021. He followed it up with a signature comeback at Wimbledon 2022, rallying from two sets down in vintage fashion, and again dominated at the 2023 Wimbledon semifinal. But the tides have shifted. Sinner claimed his first win in the 2023 ATP Finals group stage, then beat Djokovic again in the 2023 Davis Cup semis, followed by powerful performances at the 2024 Australian Open and the Shanghai final. The Italian also stunned Djokovic at Roland Garros 2025 in straight sets and has taken five of their last eight completed matches. But this Friday, there’ll be no excuses. Just grass, legacy, and fire. Can the king of Centre Court reclaim his crown, or will the future finally shut the door on the past? Only time will tell. Stay locked in with minute-by-minute coverage on EssentiallySports’ live blog of The Championships.
Microsoft recently completely shut down its operations in Pakistan. Microsoft had set up its operations in Pakistan in June 2000. Shutting down of Microsoft Pakistan after 25 years ‘marked end of an era’ as the company’s first country head Jawwad Rehman said in a post on LinkedIn. “This is more than a corporate exit. It’s a sobering signal of the environment our country has created … one where even global giants like Microsoft find it unsustainable to stay. It also reflects on what was done (or not done) with the strong foundation we left behind by the subsequent team and regional management of Microsoft,” Rehman wrote in the post.The Redmond-based too has confirmed closing down its office in Pakistan. “Our customer agreements and service will not be affected by this change,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to TechCrunch. “We follow this model successfully in a number of other countries around the world. Our customers remain our top priority and can expect the same high level of service going forward,” the spokesperson added.The Pakistan government issued a statement on Microsoft closing operations in the country. The release titled, ‘Microsoft’s Operational Restructuring: Ensure Continued Commitment to Pakistan’, termed Microsoft’s decision part of a wider global restructuring. Here’s is the full statement.
‘Microsoft’s Operational Restructuring: Ensure Continued Commitment to Pakistan’
The global pivot from on-premise software (transactional deals) to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) (recurring revenue) continues to reshape how technology firms structure their international operations. Microsoft is no exception. Over the past few years the company has shifted licensing and commercial-contract management for Pakistan to its European hub in Ireland, while day-to-day service delivery here has been handled entirely by its certified local partners. Against that backdrop, we understand Microsoft is now reviewing the future of its liaison office in Pakistan as part of a wider workforce-optimisation programme. This would reflect a long-signalled strategy, consolidating direct headcount and moving toward a partner-led, cloud-based delivery model, rather than a retreat from the Pakistani market. Pakistan’s Ministry of IT & Telecom recognises the strategic value of having leading global technology providers active in the country. We will continue to engage Microsoft’s regional and global leadership to ensure that any structural changes strengthen, rather than diminish, Microsoft’s long term commitment to Pakistani customers, developers and channel partners.
Mother and daughter captured attention as they stepped out in coordinated outfits
Princess Charlene and Prince Albert reunited for a public appearance following a brief separation due to a recent royal tour.
Their daughter, Princess Gabriella, was the star of the day as she was presented with the symbolic keys to the French town of Vic-sur-Cere by Mayor Annie Delrieu during a special dedication ceremony held on Wednesday.
The occasion marked a proud milestone for the 10-year-old royal, who officially inaugurated a public square named in her honour.
Mother and daughter captured attention as they stepped out in coordinated outfits, prompting double-takes from onlookers in the world. Princess Charlene, 47, opted for an elegant tiered pleated dress featuring a bold design along the shoulders and hemline.
The flowing silhouette, which gracefully covered her upper arms, wa spaired with classic black pointed flats. Accompanied by Prince Albert and her twin brother, Prince Jacques, Princess Gabriella wore a charming printed sundress with a pleated skirt.
She accessorised with sandals and sunglasses, offering a stylish nod to the summer sunshine.
Their matching ensembles highlighted the growing fashion bond between the Monegasque mother and daughter. Charlene’s appearance comes after she withdrew from a scheduled royal visit to Japan with Prince Albert last month.
The couple’s twins, who were also expected to attend to attend the trip, were ultimately removed from the itinerary.
Minister of State for Law and Justice Barrister Aqeel Malik on Wednesday warned that the government could deny entry to the sons of PTI founder Imran Khan if they travelled to Pakistan and “spread discord”.
Imran’s sons — Suleman Khan (28) and Kasim Khan (26) — had called attention to their father’s incarceration in a rare public appearance in May. Imran, imprisoned since August 2023, is serving a sentence at the Adiala Jail in the £190 million corruption case and also faces pending trials under the Anti-Terrorism Act related to the May 9, 2023 protests. It was the first time the two had publicly talked about their father’s incarceration.
On Monday, Kasim uploaded a post on X calling for his father’s release, saying that the PTI founder had been imprisoned for 700 days and cut off from his family and even his personal physician.
Imran’s sister Aleema Khan told reporters a day ago outside Adiala Jail that the two would join an upcoming PTI protest movement. She claimed that the sons would go to the United States to present their father’s case before coming to Pakistan to join the movement.
Addressing the matter on Geo News programme ‘Capital Talk’, Malik said the government had no issue with Kasim and Suleiman entering Pakistan, provided they do not engage in protests or political activity.
Malik noted that, being British nationals, Kasim and Suleiman could not legally participate in Pakistani political activity. He alleged that the boys are “coming to spread discord and there is no permission for this”.
“If they intend to get a visa to visit Pakistan, the concerned authorities in the interior ministry will look at their purpose of visit … But their aunt (Aleema) said … that they are coming to join the PTI movement,” the minister asserted.
“We have no issue with them coming here, but we have an issue with them participating in political activity as foreign nationals.”
He further said: “I do not believe that they will actually come here … If they had any family values, they would have come to see their father earlier.”
Malik said the PTI needed to “perform a political stunt” and the party, Aleema and Imran were “using these boys as trump cards”. “This is their last option,” he added.
On a different note, Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry said while talking to reporters earlier today: “His children should come and get to know what their father has done with the country. It is a very good thing but they won’t come.”
However, Prime Minister’s Adviser on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah stated in an interview on the ARY News show ‘Khabar’ a day ago that the sons could face arrest.
“Their coming here [will achieve nothing] except difficulties for them and then the UK Embassy will have to get them released and take them back.”
Questioned if he meant they could be arrested upon participation in the PTI protest, Sanaullah said: “Why won’t they be arrested? If they come here to lead a violent movement, then what will be the consequence of that?”
Asked about his supposing the movement to be violent, he said the PTI could no longer be trusted after the events of its past protests.
Nature Since Spring 2024, new genotypes of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b have been identified in the United States (US). These HPAI H5N1 genotypes have caused unprecedented multi-state outbreaks in poultry and dairy farms, and human infections. Here, we discuss the current situation of this outbreak and emphasizes the need for pre-pandemic preparedness to control HPAI H5N1 in both poultry and dairy farms in the US. The highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) was first detected in chickens in Scottland in 1959 and has since circulated globally1. In 1996, the HPAI H5N1 virus was reported in domestic waterfowl in Southern China, known as A/Goose/Guangdong/1/1996 or Gs/Gd lineage, resulting in the first known human infections, responsible of 18 human cases, including 6 deaths in 1997 in Hong Kong2. For almost 30 years, the virus spread via migratory birds in waves to the terrestrial avian hosts and mammalian species throughout the world leading to significant diversities in evolutionary virus lineages and clades2.
The wireless carrier, which is seeking FCC approval on two deals, bowed the pressure from the White House.
Wireless carrier T-Mobile says it is ending its diversity, equity and inclusion programmes, under pressure from the Trump administration as it seeks regulatory approval for two major deals.
The Washington state-based company said in a letter to Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, made public on Wednesday, that the wireless company is ending its DEI-related policies “not just in name, but in substance.”
T-Mobile said it will no longer have any individual roles or teams focused on DEI, is removing any references to DEI on its websites, and has removed references to DEI from its employee training materials.
Carr said he was pleased with the changes. “This is another good step forward for equal opportunity, nondiscrimination and the public interest,” according to the news agency Reuters.
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, a Democrat, criticised T-Mobile’s action, saying, “In yet another cynical bid to win FCC regulatory approval, T-Mobile is making a mockery of its professed commitment to eliminating discrimination, promoting fairness, and amplifying underrepresented voices.”
T-Mobile is awaiting FCC approval to buy almost all of regional carrier United States Cellular’s wireless operations including customers, stores and 30 percent of its spectrum assets in a deal valued at $4.4bn, and a separate transaction to establish a joint venture with KKR to acquire internet service provider Metronet, which reaches more than 2 million homes and businesses in 17 states.
Investors did not respond well to the news. As of 2:30pm ET (18:30 GMT), the company’s stock, traded under the TMUS, is down 1.3 percent since the market opened.
T-Mobile joins a growing list of companies bowing to pressure from the Trump administration that face regulatory approval.
Last week, Paramount agreed to pay a $16m settlement after the president claimed CBS News’ show 60 Minutes misleadingly edited an interview with then Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris, as Paramount seeks regulatory approval for the proposed merger with Skydance.
A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, published by Elsevier, evaluated the feasibility of Nutri, a user-centered digital platform designed to support personalized, evidence-based diet goal setting during routine primary care visits for patients with type 2 diabetes. Findings show that primary care providers (PCPs) who used the system consistently, found it usable and satisfactory, and that patients were able to engage with the intervention effectively.
Researchers conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial across a network of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in Texas. Sixteen PCPs and 30 of their adult patients with diabetes or prediabetes participated in the study. Nutri synthesized patient dietary recall data using a rules-based expert system, prioritizing key dietary issues and guiding collaborative goal setting between provider and patient within a standard primary care visit.
Results showed that PCPs used Nutri in 100% of eligible appointments, with a satisfaction score of 3.8 out of 5 and above-average usability ratings. Patients, most of whom were from underserved communities, engaged with the intervention successfully, with 81% reporting that they set a diet goal with their provider and over half initiating that goal within one week.
Lead author Marissa Burgermaster, PhD, assistant professor of population health at Dell Medical School and assistant professor of nutritional sciences at the College of Natural Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin, said, “PCPs are on the front lines of diabetes care but often lack the time and training for effective nutrition counseling. Nutri integrates into the visit workflow and supports shared decision-making, making it easier for providers and patients to set actionable dietary goals.”
The study provides a strong foundation for a future large-scale trial to evaluate Nutri’s effectiveness in improving diet quality and clinical outcomes. Researchers note that digital tools like Nutri may help close nutrition care gaps, particularly in low-resource settings, by making dietary counseling more efficient, accessible, and personalized.

At Samsung Galaxy Unpacked this year, company president TM Roh took the stage in Brooklyn, NY, to tout the transformative nature Galaxy AI. The presentation talked about how Samsung’s AI tech customizes information and systems to become your personal companion. It gives you morning briefs, synthesizes your health information and can integrate across different form factors, like foldables, VR and wearables.
I am an active user of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 phone, but I’ve never once seen any of Samsung’s Galaxy AI features surface in my daily use. And it’s not like I’m not looking out for this stuff, I’m literally an AI reporter at CNET. So what am I missing?
Part of the reason I never notice Galaxy AI is that it’s hampered by the defaults of Google’s open source Android operating system. Unlike Apple, Samsung doesn’t control the software running on its devices. Instead, it uses Android.
I’ve used a Galaxy Z Fold 6 for the last year or so.

Samsung and other smartphone makers can add their own software features on top of Android. Google, however, doesn’t allow Android partners to completely delete Google’s included apps. So, if partners want their own interpretations of a calling app or text messaging app, it has to live alongside Google’s versions.
Years ago Samsung did attempt to launch its own mobile operating system called Tizen, but, like with Windows Phone and other mobile operating systems, getting app developers on board proved challenging.
Where’s my AI, Samsung?
I have yet to see any of the AI features Samsung touts. Apart from Samsung’s daily brief there’s a host of editing features, including audio eraser for clearer audio, auto trim for video editing and generative edit, which lets you use AI to retouch images. On Samsung’s Galaxy AI website, the company says there’s call transcript, writing assist and interpreter features.
I’m personally not a big photo bug, so I don’t spend too much time snapping pics and setting aside time to edit photos for Instagram. So, being blind to these features is on me.
But I am reporter, so the transcript and interpreter features are particularly handy. Well, they should be if I’d ever seen them. I jumped on an impromptu call with my co-worker Corin Cesaric to test if these transcript features would activate. They didn’t.
I went into the settings to double-check if any of the AI features were enabled. Apart from Note Assist, all of them were turned on in the settings. The problem was perplexing. Turns out, it comes down to which apps you set as default when setting up your device.
It’s all about defaults
To get Samsung’s AI features, you have to use Samsung’s apps. But when I first set up my phone, I guess I clicked the box for Google’s suite of apps, maybe because I was coming from a Google Pixel device. For example, there’s separate versions of the phone, messages and photo apps, one from Google and one from Samsung. The Samsung Messages app wasn’t even installed on my device as Samsung made Google Messages the native app back in 2021. I had to go to the Samsung Store (yes, Samsung has a separate app store on Android) to install it.
The bicameral nature of Samsung devices running Google’s operating system is to blame for all this confusion. Many Samsung and Google apps have the exact same names, making the issue even more confusing.
I think Google has tacitly acknowledged this division as a problem. Google advertises its Pixel-line of devices as having software that’s embedded deeply with Google DNA, mixing design and AI in ways that just work. If Google wants Samsung and other partners to have that same kind of clean integration, it needs to allow them to have greater control. Otherwise consumers will simply conclude that Samsung, OnePlus or Motorola are to blame.
