3. #WAR Ukraine and Russia signed a landmark deal with the United Nations and Turkey on resuming grain shipments that could ease a global food crisis in which millions face hunger.

4.#OUTBREAK The EU’s medicines agency has recommended that smallpox vaccines be used against monkeypox, which has continued to spread around the world.
