Politics today spans courtrooms, crisis rooms and classrooms. In Kenya, a judge has temporarily blocked a U.S. plan to open an Ebola quarantine unit for Americans at a U.S. air base, reflecting fierce domestic opposition and public health concerns even as Washington argues the facility is a precaution tied to the outbreak in Congo. Kenya is also reeling from a deadly dormitory fire at a girls’ boarding school, where police have arrested eight students on suspicion of arson after 16 students were killed. In Washington, a federal judge ordered Donald Trump’s name removed from the Kennedy Center and stopped a planned renovation closure, saying the move was carried out unlawfully. At the White House, Trump convened a Situation Room meeting to decide whether to proceed with a tentative Iran arrangement centered on a ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, though key terms remain contested.
