In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on the Houthis in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

They're here to finance climate action. But COP29 is more about bickering.

Nearly 50,000 people from 200 countries were in Azerbaijan for this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference, with the goal of reaching a critical deal on climate finance.

Taiwan said the pagers that blew up in Lebanon were not made domestically. Gold Apollo said it had licensed manufacturing to BAC Consulting in Hungary who take care of "specific regions." It's still unclear those regions included Lebanon. nbcnews.com/news/world/taiwa…

Who made the exploding pagers? A messy global trail emerges behind deadly Lebanon blasts

Taiwan-based Gold Apollo said Hungary-based BAC was licensed to use its brand as the militant group Hezbollah said there would be a “severe reckoning” over the blasts.

Can Modi finally win over the southern states and reshape India’s electoral map?

Dr. Nour, a physician and @projecthopeorg team member, spoke with @mithilagg at @NBCNews about the impossible task for doctors in Gaza right now - treating a surplus of wounded patients with no anesthesia, narcotics, or help. @ywsalam nbcnews.com/news/world/gaza-…

In Gaza’s collapsing health system, deaths are slow, painful and often preventable

Violence, severe shortages and depleted staff mean “people are dying very slowly and with no dignity and often in a lot of pain.”

On the broken road to the epicenter of #Japan's earthquake zone, we saw wide-scale destruction, cracked highways, and villages eerily empty of people. My dispatch and photos from Wajima for @NBCNews @NBCNewsNow nbcnews.com/news/world/groun…

Traveling through ground zero of Japan’s earthquake zone

The fishing town of Wajima, near the epicenter of a powerful earthquake, grapples with a sense of loss that “is quite profound.”
