Ben Stokes' absence will cast a long shadow over England's bid to clinch a series victory against New Zealand when they face the Black Caps without their controversial captain this week.Stokes and Gus Atkinson were dropped for the second Test, which starts at the Oval on Wednesday, after the pair broke a midnight curfew by celebrating late into the night following England's series opening win at Lord's.The England and Wales Cricket Board are still investigating the incident in a London nightclub, which also involved Saracens rugby player Totoa Auvaa and reportedly ended with a member of the England's security staff being hit.Amid reports he could be stripped of the captaincy or even retire from international cricket, Stokes' England future has been plunged into doubt by the latest after-hours drama in his chaotic career.Stokes was cleared of charges of affray following an incident outside a Bristol nightclub in 2017, but missed an Ashes tour as a result of that incident.The 35-year-old also took a break from cricket in 2021 to prioritise his mental health. ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC PLAYERSStokes is one of the most dynamic players of his generation, but his brilliance has been marred by a self-destructive streak.His failure to appreciate the significance of being on his best behaviour after England's shambolic Ashes tour last winter does not reflect well.England were routed 4-1 in Australia, with their off-field behaviour criticised after players were seen drinking during a day off in Noosa between matches. Harry Brook was involved in an altercation with a nightclub bouncer in New Zealand prior to the Australia leg of the tour, adding to the impression that England's players are out of control.That incident made it impossible for vice-captain Brook to replace Stokes this week, forcing to England ask Joe Root, who last captained his country in 2022, to serve as stand-in skipper.Rob Key, managing director of men's cricket at the ECB, couldn't hide his frustration about England's latest indiscretion when he spoke last week. 'NO RASH DECISIONS'"It's still very raw, certainly for Ben, (England head coach) Brendon (McCullum), myself, the ECB. Ben has been through a range of emotions, as you would do in this situation," he said."A lot of people have had phone calls where you're just in disbelief, then you get angry. There's a load of things and I'm still not sure I'm over those at the moment."Time is probably the best thing for all of us. Nobody wants to make any rash decisions."McCullum refused to be drawn on Stokes' chances of retaining the captaincy, instead focusing on the well-being of the all-rounder."Our concern is with Ben, our concern is handling that situation, making sure we look after him, that he feels supported by us and in communication with us," he told reporters at a sombre press conference on Monday."I'm worried about Ben. I'll leave it at that. Those other things will work out down the line." NEW ZEALAND LOOK TO BOUNCE BACKNew Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra insisted England's travails mean nothing to his side as they look to bouncing back after a 115-run thrashing on a treacherous pitch in the first Test.The Black Caps are dealing with a surprise absence of their own after Kane Williamson abruptly retired from international cricket.The 35-year-old - New Zealand's all-time record run scorer across all formats - featured in the first Test but will play no further part in the three-match series."There's a few things going on. It's always interesting when you are the other team and you hear news like that," Ravindra said of England's issues."But honestly we are just focused on us. Whatever happens with them, we are focusing on our cricket."Tarnished by their exiled captain's lack of restraint, it will take some time for England to restore their reputation in the eyes of the cricket public.The long road to redemption starts at the Oval.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was willing to send his interim deal to end the war with Iran for review by the US Congress, as lawmakers, including many of his fellow Republicans, said they were largely in the dark about the pact. The US-Iran agreement, announced on Sunday, has spurred optimism that a conflict that has killed thousands and disrupted the global economy will soon end. According to officials from both countries, the memorandum of understanding would extend a tenuous ceasefire announced in April by another 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping route effectively blocked since the US and Israel began attacking Iran on February 28. But the details remain unclear and the text of the pact has not been released or sent to Congress.Trump also insisted Tuesday that Iran would abandon its nuclear weapons program. Iran has long maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Democrats have questioned Trump's latest promise of a peace deal."We've been told dozens of times that the war is over and dozens of times we've been disappointed," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said as he opened the Senate session on Tuesday."It's been two days since Trump claimed he had reached an 'understanding' with Iran and he still hasn't released any details... about what it actually is," Schumer said.Schumer called on the Trump administration to hold a classified briefing for Congress' "Gang of Eight," a group of intelligence committee and congressional leaders typically briefed on major national security developments.Schumer also said officials should brief the entire Congress, and inform the American people.No plans for any such events have been released.'I LIKE THE IDEA' Trump told reporters in France that he had not thought about sending the memorandum of understanding with Iran to Congress for review but that he would do it. "I like the idea," he said during his meeting with Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, on the sidelines of the G7.Trump said he wanted to wait until after a formal signing ceremony expected on Friday.Trump could be legally obligated to involve Congress. Under the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, a 2015 US law passed as Democratic President Barack Obama's administration finalised an Iran nuclear agreement, any such agreement must be submitted to Congress for review before sanctions can be eased.That review leaves open the possibility that lawmakers could try to block parts of the deal. Some Republican lawmakers have been willing to break with the president, voting with Democrats, unsuccessfully, to force Trump to seek congressional approval for the Iran war. Under the US Constitution, Congress, not the president, has the power to declare war. But most Republicans, who hold slim majorities in both the Senate and House of Representatives, have shown little appetite during Trump's second term for challenging his foreign policy.Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the Senate's Republican leader, told reporters at the Capitol Tuesday that party members were pressing Trump to provide the text of the MOU."We're trying to get it," he said, acknowledging that it is unusual for an administration not to share information about such a major development with its own party."Since I've been in this job, we haven't had this issue," Thune said.Other Republicans joined Democrats in expressing frustration at the lack of information."If it's a secret deal, then how can I take it seriously?" Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina told reporters on Monday evening. Related Story

In eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, civilians are caught between a deadly Ebola outbreak and relentless militia violence, as insecurity stunts health services.More than 70,000 people now live virtually under siege in the Plaine Savo camp for the displaced, a sprawl of tents in the savannah hills of Ituri province — the epicentre of the country's 17th outbreak of the haemorrhagic feverThe muddy water source is only a short walk away, but Antoinette told AFP she no longer dares to go, fearing she could be raped or killed.Sitting outside her tent, she braided one of her eight daughters' hair. She has spent seven months in this sea of makeshift shelters, which she calls an "open-air prison".Ituri is one of the DRC's most unstable regions, where armed groups shape daily life. Rebels linked to the Islamic State group and local militias carry out frequent attacks.Even collecting firewood carries risk. Outside, "you get killed or raped" by militiamen or Congolese soldiers, Antoinette told AFP, echoing fears shared by many residents interviewed.Doctors Without Borders said it treats around 60 cases of sexual violence each week at the Plaine Savo site alone.Eastern DRC has been plagued by conflict for more than three decades. In North and South Kivu provinces, the army is battling the Rwanda-backed M23 armed group, which has seized large swathes of territory.In South Kivu, violence has intensified since the Ebola outbreak was declared on May 15. Over the past month, hospitals supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross have treated 303 wounded people, 30% more than the previous month.And the violence racking the region only makes it more difficult for struggling health workers to fight the spread of Ebola.In Plaine Savo, most displaced people are from the Hema ethnic group, caught in a long-running and often bloody conflict with the Lendu people.One militia, Codeco, claims to defend Lendu interests, while a newer armed group, the CRP, linked to warlord Thomas Lubanga, claims to represent the Hema.The violence has killed thousands of people since 2017, despite the presence of UN peacekeepers and troops from neighbouring Uganda.The rise of the CRP in 2025 — often likened by authorities to the M23 — has reignited the cycle of violence.The Congolese army, notorious for poor discipline, has launched operations against the group, at times alongside Codeco fighters, often at the expense of Hema civilians.Soldiers "see the whole population as rebels — that's the real problem," said local priest Dieudonne Dz'rodjo."There is no trust between the people and the army," he added, standing before three crosses marking past massacres.The nearby village of Bule, devastated by fighting in February, now lies deserted, its buildings scarred by bullets and shellfire. Only soldiers remain.In Plaine Savo, many displaced civilians also accuse those same soldiers — tasked with restoring order — of carrying out abuses around the camp.The government is largely absent from rural Ituri, and deep mistrust is undermining efforts to contain Ebola, aid workers say.Health services are already stretched thin by the conflict."We don't have an ambulance, we don't have transport, not even a bike," said Aime Lojunga, a doctor whose clinic in Bule was displaced with the population to Plaine Savo.Fataki hospital, which serves the area, has treated 119 people wounded by gunshots or machetes since February, according to doctor Dieudonne Mbusa.Lendu are now the majority in the town, after many Hema fled.Local Lendu leader Justin Goudza dismissed accusations against both Codeco fighters and the army.The Congolese army "is loyal — how could a loyalist force act against civilians?"Instead, he blamed CRP fighters, whom he said could slip into camps "like a virus".With nearly one mn people crowded into camps across Ituri, aid groups warn of a looming humanitarian disaster if Ebola spreads further among these vulnerable populations.

Japan's Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi speaks to Netherlands' Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Dilan Yesilgoz-Zegerius during the Japan-Netherlands Defence Ministers' Meeting in Tokyo Tuesday. (AFP) Japan said Tuesday it has not yet decided whether its military will join efforts to help the resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz after the US-Iran peace deal.US President Donald Trump said that the vital artery for oil and gas would be "completely open" from Friday but added there was still "hunting" going on to ensure the waterway was de-mined.Japan signed onto a joint statement issued Monday by European nations that they were ready for a "defensive and independent mission to reassure commercial shipping and conduct mine clearance operations" in the strait.The statement added though that this would occur in accordance with "respective constitutional requirements".Japan's constitution strictly limits the use of force to self-defence.Trump has pressed global allies including Japan to send warships to the region to help open the strait."At this point, no decision has been made regarding the dispatch of the Self-Defence Forces," Japanese Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said Tuesday, using the official name for Japan's armed forces."We intend to consult closely with relevant countries, including our ally the United States, carefully assess the situation, and consider necessary measures within the framework of international and domestic law," Koizumi said.In April, senior members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party suggested that after fighting stops, Japan should consider deploying minesweepers and other vessels to clear any obstacles in the Strait of Hormuz, the Nikkei reported.Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, currently at a Group of Seven summit in France, later reportedly said Japan will have various options after a ceasefire agreement.Japan's Maritime Self-Defence Force (MSDF) is considered adept at removing mines, with 16 vessels capable of such operations, the Nikkei said.The Japanese military was involved in mine-clearance operations in 1991 after a ceasefire in the Gulf War.
