WorldWhat has Trump’s Board of Peace achieved in a year since Gaza ‘ceasefire’?

Analysts say Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has failed to secure lasting peace in Gaza. A year after the ceasefire began, Israeli attacks continue and Israeli forces have expanded their control in the territory. Governance, aid and reconstruction goals have been only partly met, while aid deliveries remain below the plan’s target.

ScienceOne with the world? A new look at brains transformed by psychedelics

For about a decade, the prevailing view has been that psychedelics loosen brain networks and make activity more complex. In a Nature study, Monash University neuroscientist Devon Stoliker’s team gave 19 milligrams of psilocybin to 62 people with no prior psychedelic experience and used AI to analyze scans taken while they were drugged and sober. The findings were not simply chaotic.

Trump says the United States will buy more than 300,000 metric tonnes of Russian diesel, with further deliveries potentially bringing the total to 3 million tonnes. The Treasury eased sanctions to permit imports through April 7. Zelenskyy called the move a “weak decision,” while Republican Don Bacon criticized it as rewarding Putin. Trump said additional supplies depend on Russian refinery conditions and that the deal could lower fuel prices.
