US President Donald Trump said on May 26 that his annual medical examination went “perfectly,” as questions over the health of the oldest US president to ever take office intensify ahead of his 80th birthday. The checkup marked Trump’s third medical evaluation since returning to the White House last year and comes amid growing speculation surrounding bruises visible on his hands and moments where he appeared drowsy during public meetings.
“Everything checked out PERFECTLY,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform while returning from Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington. Soon after, the White House shared an image of Trump online alongside the message: “PERFECT BILL OF HEALTH!”

Israel’s military chief has formally dismissed former Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi over the explosive Sde Teiman prison leak scandal.
The case centered on leaked surveillance footage that allegedly showed the abuse of a Palestinian detainee by Israeli soldiers inside the controversial Sde Teiman detention facility.
Tomer-Yerushalmi, who was initially involved in investigating the incident, later became the main suspect in the leak itself. She eventually resigned and admitted to leaking the footage.
The IDF says Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir decided to move ahead with her dismissal because of the “severity” of the allegations and ongoing criminal proceedings. The move also strips her of financial benefits usually granted to senior officers after service.
The scandal sparked major debate inside Israel over military accountability, whistleblowing and the treatment of Palestinian detainees during the Gaza war.
Notably, charges against the five reservists accused of abusing the detainee were ultimately dropped.

Four people — including two children — were killed after a train slammed into a school minibus in Buggenhout, northern Belgium. Authorities said the impact was so violent that the vehicle was thrown nearly 15 metres into a metal pylon.
Seven children, along with a supervisor and the driver, were reportedly on board the minibus at the time of the collision. No passengers on the train were injured.
Images from the scene showed the minibus badly mangled beside the railway tracks as emergency crews set up tents around the wreckage.
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever said he was “deeply moved” by the disaster, while Deputy PM Maxime Prevot called it a “tragic collision.”
The train was reportedly travelling at around 120 km/h when the crash occurred.

North Korea fired multiple projectiles, including a ballistic missile, into the Yellow Sea on May 26, according to South Korea’s military. The launch comes amid a recent surge in missile tests, with analysts suggesting Pyongyang is seeking to strengthen its nuclear status as global diplomatic pressure weakens.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said several projectiles, including a short-range ballistic missile, were launched from North Korea’s Chongju city into the Yellow Sea at around 1:00 p.m. local time. The Yellow Sea lies between the Korean Peninsula and China.
