Three more cases of Ebola have been confirmed in Mbandaka, a city of 1.2 million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  "In total, 43 cases of haemorrhagic fever have been flagged in the region of which 17 are confirmed, 21 are probable, and five are suspected cases," said DRC Health Minister Oly Ilunga.  But the UN World Health Organization on Sunday will begin administering the experimental vaccine rVSV-ZEBOV to try and halt the spread of the deady virus.  "The vaccine appeared to work very well in the last outbreak" in West Africa in 2014, said Professor Martin Hibberd of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, "Everyone is hoping that it will perform equally well in this (outbreak)."

Texas authorities charged 17-year old Dimitrios Pagourtzis with Capital Murder for killing ten people at his high school in a shooting spree, and wounding 13 others.  Court documents say Pagourtzis appeared to spare students he liked as he opened fire with a shotgun and .38 revolver, both weapons belonging to his father.  The "bombs" he left in the area of the attack on Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas outside of Houston were duds with no explosive material not detonators.  Friday's massacre was the deadliest US school attack since 17 were killed in February at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

China has for the first time landed long-range bombers on an airstrip built on its disputed military bases in the South China Sea.  Several H-6K bombers practiced taking off from an air base then making a simulated strike against sea targets before landing again.  The Defense Ministry in Beijing ominously referred to this as preparation for "the West Pacific and the battle for the South China Sea".  Some of the rocks and reefs turned into Chinese military bases were already claimed by Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Brunei, and Malaysia - Australia, the US, and the West demand freedom of navigation for the more than US$5 Trillion in trade that goes through the waters every year.

The European Union sought to assure Iran that it is doing its part in holding up the nuclear deal, in defiance of the United States' exit earlier this month.  "We have sent a message to our Iranian friends that as long as they are sticking to the agreement, the Europeans will fulfill their commitment," said European commissioner for energy and climate Miguel Arias Canete, "We will try to intensify our flows of trade that have been very positive for the Iranian economy."  Iran said if Europe fails to salvage the deal, it could resume its uranium enrichment program.

The coalition led by Shiite militia chief Moqtada Sadr - who led two uprisings against the US-led invasion of Iraq - has won that country's parliamentary elections.  It's a major blow to the Iraqi government and the US.  Sadr himself didn't stand as a candidate, and therefore is unlikely to be the next prime minister.  He shares one view with the current PM Haider al-Abadi, and that is opposition to Iranian involvement in Iraq - which might make it easier to build a coalition to oppose the pro-Iran Fatah Party which will control roughly a third of parliament.

Saudi Arabia arrested at least seven Women's Rights Activists in recent days, including Lujain al-Hathloul who has pressed for women's right to simply drive a car in the ultra-conservative oil kingdom.  The Gulf Center for Human Rights says al-Hathloul has not been able to communicate with her family or lawyer since being arrested.  Under Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman's phony "reform" program, women were slated to get the right to drive.  But Human Rights Watch says the prince "wants to make it clear to all of his citizens that they are his subjects who must be grateful for whatever liberties he gives them but they must not demand any of their rights".
