Global health officials moved to contain the day’s most urgent story as the World Health Organization declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda a public health emergency of international concern, a move designed to unlock faster international coordination without triggering border closures or labeling the crisis a pandemic emergency. WHO says the outbreak involves the Bundibugyo strain, with suspected cases now in the hundreds and deaths around 80 or higher, underscoring the pressure on surveillance and treatment systems as imported cases reach Uganda. Elsewhere, Australia is mourning Steven Mattaboni, the Perth father of two identified as the victim of a fatal shark attack off Rottnest Island while spearfishing. And in a much lighter turn, Saturday Night Live closed its season with Will Ferrell at the center of two headline-making bits, including a dark Trump-Epstein cold open and a monologue fake-out by his lookalike, Chad Smith.
