Ukraine holds candle vigil in Slavutych to mark 40th anniversary of Chernobyl disaster
On 26 April 2026, residents of Slavutych marked the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster with a candle vigil. Attendees donned hazmat suits and placed candles in a radiation hazard symbol to honour the victims, amid ongoing wartime curfews. The commemoration continues annually.

German government warns of phishing attacks targeting lawmakers via Signal

Washington hotel shooting raises security concerns for Trump and officials
What’s happening?
A shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has raised serious security concerns, especially regarding former President Trump’s safety. The acting attorney general has indicated that Trump and his officials could be potential targets. No injuries were reported.
The BBC headlines, “Trump and his officials ‘likely’ targets of suspected gunman, acting attorney general says,” emphasize the potential threat to Trump and his inner circle. Meanwhile, CNN’s headline, “How Washington’s biggest annual dinner transformed into chaos — and a crime scene,” focuses on the event itself and the broader chaos it caused. This reflects a framing difference where the BBC centers on the implications for individuals involved, while CNN presents a narrative of disruption and immediate danger surrounding the event.
