France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon. Tensions have escalated, particularly following Iran's missile strikes on Israel in response to events in Syria, leading to increased exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah.

Kenya and Tanzania are on high alert as they anticipate the arrival of Cyclone Hidaya, following a period of relentless rains and devastating floods that have ravaged East Africa. The region has already witnessed the loss of nearly 400 lives, with tens of thousands displaced from their homes. Cyclone Hidaya is gradually approaching the eastern coast of Tanzania, with meteorologists predicting its landfall later on Friday, based on the latest weather forecasts. The cyclone is expected to bring further precipitation to neighbouring Kenya, including the major coastal city of Mombasa, situated just north of the cyclone's path.
