The World section carries international headlines from established wire sources, updated hourly. Every story links to its original publisher.

Reading a developing story Early reports from fast-moving international events are routinely incomplete and often revised — casualty figures, causes, and attributions can change within hours. Treat the first report as a first draft, and check back on the linked outlet for updates.

Time zones and datelines International news happens on other clocks: a story timestamped overnight may describe events from the middle of someone else's day. The "time ago" stamp on each card reflects when the story was published, not when events occurred.

Following one story closely For running stories, the Live trackers follow a single topic continuously — see the Live page for current trackers, or open /live/ plus any topic to build one on the fly.
