War, Musk, Trump, and Tragedy: World News in a Whirlwind

Sick and wounded Palestinians began entering Egypt on Monday after Israel permitted a limited reopening of the Rafah border crossing, according to The Guardian. About 150 people were expected to leave Gaza on the first day, seeking medical treatment in Egypt. The reopening comes amid fragile diplomatic efforts to stabilize the ongoing conflict, with an estimated 20,000 adults and children in need of medical care.

In other news, Elon Musk was praised by a Ukrainian official after restricting Russian use of Starlink satellites. Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's defense minister, hailed Musk as "a true champion of freedom and a true friend of the Ukrainian people," according to BBC World. Fedorov stated that Musk swiftly responded when informed that Russian drones with Starlink connectivity were operating in the country. These drones have been linked to recent deadly attacks by Russia on Ukraine, including one on a passenger train. Musk wrote on X, "Looks like the steps we took to stop the unauthorised use of Starlink by Russia have worked. Let us know if there are any issues."

Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump threatened to sue comedian Trevor Noah over a joke made at the Grammy Awards, BBC World reported. Noah, who hosted the event, quipped, "Song of the Year - that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton." Trump, who was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein for years, claims he had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes and that they fell out around 2004.

Separately, Faisal Islam of BBC Business reflected on a conversation he had with the late Alistair Darling, former Chancellor of the Exchequer under Gordon Brown, regarding the 2009 financial crisis. Darling recounted a tense phone call with Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, after the UK government announced plans to tax bankers' bonuses. According to Islam, details of the background and context of this call appear in the Epstein files.

Also, BBC World's Steve Rosenberg discussed the challenges of reporting from Russia on the Ukraine war. Rosenberg described being labeled an "enemy" on Russian TV, with one presenter, Vladimir Solovyov, unleashing a tirade against the UK and the BBC. Solovyov said, "We haven't kicked out the goddamned BBC with that Steve Rotten-berg. He walks around looking like a defecating squirrel—he's a conscious enemy of our country!"
