Rescuers in western Colombia are searching rubble after Monday's magnitude 7.4 earthquake, the strongest there in a decade. More than 130 people are confirmed dead and over 570 injured.
Trump demanded Iranian compensation for people killed over five decades; Tehran keeps the Strait of Hormuz shut until its terms are met. Ukrainian drones killed at least 13 people in the Russian refinery city of Nizhnekamsk, and Russian strikes hit Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv. Netanyahu held to his rejection of the US-backed 15-point Gaza roadmap, ruling out withdrawal before Hamas disarms. Turkey's parliament let PKK fighters who disarm return to civilian life, terms the group's leadership called deficient.
Crude held its gains as hopes of reopening the strait faded, and New York and Mumbai stocks fell; US long-term yields sit at financial-crisis levels after the Fed's Hammack floated rate increases, Bloomberg reported. Nvidia and Wall Street firms are lining up at least $500bn for AI data centres, and Meta released Muse Glimmer, a downloadable model that runs on laptops, with Mark Zuckerberg's essay on personal superintelligence.
Least noticed: the IAEA is to remove nuclear material from an undisclosed site in Syria under a US-brokered deal, which Syrian officials say they did not know about. Watch Wednesday's Meta trial over addictive platform design, which a US appeals court declined to delay.
