A grim mix of tragedy, conflict and public-health alarm leads world news today. In Bangkok, at least eight people were killed and dozens injured when a freight train smashed into a bus at a rail crossing near Makkasan, sending vehicles into traffic and prompting new scrutiny of safety at the scene. Off Western Australia, reports say a man in his thirties died after a shark attack near Rottnest Island, renewing attention on risks in one of the country’s most popular coastal areas. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, officials say a fresh Ebola outbreak in Ituri has now killed at least 80 people, with emergency teams racing to expand screening and contact tracing around Bunia. Elsewhere, Donald Trump says US and Nigerian forces have killed senior ISIS figure Abu-Bilal al-Minuki in a joint operation in Africa, though independent details remain limited.
