The Gambia Police Force says investigations have advanced in three recent alleged murders, with arrests, post‑mortems completed and one case now before the High Court.

Four suspects are in custody over the death of 23‑year‑old Musa Sabally, who was found after an alleged assault in Brikama Bojang K***a; police said enquiries continue to identify others believed to be involved.

A 19‑year‑old woman remains detained as investigators probe the death of truck driver Kebba Sarr, whose body was discovered in an apartment in Nema on June 15.

In the third case, the death of Yunusa Mbaye — also on June 15 — has been referred to the Ministry of Justice, and prosecution began at the High Court on 24 June.

The force said post‑mortem examinations and evidence gathering are underway. It urged the public to refrain from actions that could prejudice proceedings, stressing its commitment to impartial investigations and the rule of law.

The president of the General Transport Union, Omar Ceesay, has urged drivers to obey traffic regulations and road signs to prevent avoidable deaths, and called for stricter testing and medical checks for licence applicants.

“What we are seeing are unfortunate road crashes that can be averted if drivers comprehend and adhere to the traffic rules,” he stated. “Drivers must be very attentive to road signs and refrain from disregarding them.”

Ceesay said road signs are for both drivers and pedestrians and pledged that the union will step up awareness campaigns. “As a union, we will do everything possible to raise awareness among drivers regarding road safety, and we will persist in this effort,” he added.

He said the union is working closely with police to reduce accidents and urged authorities to ensure all drivers undergo medical and physical evaluations and pass driving tests before receiving licences, saying: “We want to ensure that anyone behind the wheel is qualified to be a driver. I urge the police to take all necessary measures to ensure that drivers undergo medical and physical evaluations and pass all driving tests before obtaining a license.”

Ceesay stressed that testing of drivers and vehicles is compulsory, describing it as non‑negotiable: “it’s mandatory.”

President Donald Trump said Iran told US officials it was not demanding tolls, insurance fees or other charges from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and warned negotiations would end if that proved false.

“If this is false information, negotiations would end immediately,” he said on Truth Social.

“NO TOLLS, NO INSURANCE COSTS, & NO OTHER CHARGES OF ANY KIND BEING SOUGHT OR RECEIVED BY IRAN ON SHIPS TRAVELING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ,” he wrote in caps lock.

“Additionally, no money has been given to Iran, or released from their money to them, by the US. We will be releasing some of their money, that is totally controlled by us, to our Farmers and Ranchers, for the purchase of Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, and more.”

“Food is desperately needed in Iran, and we will be purchasing it for them exclusively from the United States.”

The United States has shifted its policy and provided doses of an experimental antibody from Mapp Biopharmaceutical for clinical trials to tackle the widening Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The drug is being made available for compassionate use in Congo as well as to advance a clinical trial in the outbreak region. There are no approved vaccines or treatments for the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, which has caused more than 1,000 cases in Congo, including more than 250 deaths.

The World Health Organization says trials of Mapp’s MBP134 and two Gilead antivirals are due to begin in the coming weeks, with the WHO and partners preparing sites despite security, logistics and community‑trust challenges. Vaccine testing is expected to follow later, starting with early‑stage trials outside Congo.

North Korea appears to have taken a uniquely North Korean approach to World Cup broadcasting: while the rest of the world fights over billion-dollar TV rights, Pyongyang is simply airing the matches for free.

State media argued that the World Cup belongs to everyone and should not be locked behind paywalls, leaving FIFA's lawyers with the difficult task of figuring out how to send a cease-and-desist letter to a country that probably isn't interested in receiving one.
