Neutral summary
A nurse was killed and another health worker severely injured after being attacked on Saturday while responding to an Ebola alert in the town of Bafwasende, Tshopo province, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the World Health Organization. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X that healthcare must always be protected, and WHO Africa regional director Dr. Mohamed Yakub Janabi said misinformation and fear must never fuel violence. Local authorities had not yet commented on the attack or the suspects. Authorities say such attacks are hampering efforts to slow the outbreak, which the health ministry says has recorded more than 9,800 cases and more than 4,700 deaths since May. Responders say community skepticism, including dismissal of Ebola as a hoax, has complicated efforts, and that teams have faced captivity, threats and earlier tent arson.
Where accounts differ. Al Jazeera reports that Uganda has announced 21-day quarantines for returning citizens and that two travellers tested positive in Kenya and Nigeria, details the AP-based Korea Herald and Gulf News articles do not include.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
