🚨📊 Since the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Gianni Infantino has attended 27 matches across three host countries and 17 different cities. He has primarily travelled aboard a Gulfstream G650ER, covering more than 54,000 km throughout the tournament.
The aircraft has consumed an estimated 950,000 litres of fuel, generating over 520 tonnes of CO₂e emissions so far, and is projected to exceed 1300 tonnes by the end of the World Cup. For perspective, that is roughly equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of 200 people or around 1,750 transatlantic flights between London and New York. 😳

Security forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo #DRC fired tear gas and used whips on Friday to disperse opposition leaders and supporters protesting in #Kinshasa against efforts by President Félix Tshisekedi to amend the Constitution and seek a controversial third term in office.
Police had been deployed around the Palais du Peuple, which houses the country’s parliament, to enforce a ban on demonstrations. Despite the restrictions, opposition figures led by Martin Fayulu attempted to hold the protest.
Fayulu, who ran in the 2023 presidential election, was injured during the clashes. Images shared on social media show him with blood on his shirt, though the circumstances of his injury were not immediately clear.
President Tshisekedi's government has banned any protests.
The tensions come just days after the National Assembly overwhelmingly approved a referendum bill on June 9. The proposed legislation is now awaiting review by the Senate before it can be signed into law by President Félix Tshisekedi.
The bill outlines conditions for organizing a referendum that triggers constitutional reforms that keeps Tshisekedi in power beyond his second and constitutionally final term, which expires in 2028.
The opposition has termed it as a "constitutional coup" and vowed to block President Tshisekedi's ambitions through large-scale nationwide protests.
"If the people want me to have a third term, I will accept," Tshisekedi said in May, signalling his public support for the constitutional reform.
In eastern #DRC, escalating violence is undermining efforts to contain a rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak, raising the risk of further spread.
Renewed clashes in Masisi territory have displaced more people and restricted humanitarian movements.

The number of people displaced worldwide by conflict and persecution fell in 2025 for the first time in a decade, but levels of refugees facing long-term displacement remain unacceptably high, a U.N. refugee agency report said on Thursday. https://t.co/rKS58CHUrD
Millions of people have been forced to flee around the world.
Behind every figure is a person who’s fled violence, war or persecution. Many are still waiting for safety and stability.

Men who recover from #Ebola should avoid sex for at least 6 months or use condoms consistently and correctly.
This is because the virus can stay in semen even after recovery.
