What's happening

What's going on around the world, briefly.

Disclaimer

What’s happening is an informational site. A story here is a short explanation of what is going on with a subject, written so a reader can follow it, with the reporting linked underneath.

Not an official record

This site is not a news wire, a government notice, a company statement, or a record of what a court, a league, or a public office has decided. Nothing here is legal, medical, or financial advice. If a decision depends on the facts, use the linked reporting and the original source.

How stories are written

Stories are drafted with an AI language model from published reporting. Automated checks and later corrections reduce mistakes, but a story can still get a detail wrong. Check the linked reporting before relying on a fact.

Pictures

The pictures on story pages are illustrations made for the site. They show the kind of subject and the country, not the people or the events in the story.

Accuracy and updates

Stories are written from published reporting available at the time. Events move. A game can still be going when the story is published, and a later note at the top of the story may add the result. Other facts can be corrected when a better account appears. The published time and the updated time on the story are the ones to read.

Sources

The links under Reporting are there so the account can be checked. We link to those pages for context. We are not responsible for what those sites publish, or for whether a link still works.

Corrections

If a story has a fact wrong, write to [email protected]. It will be corrected once that is clear.
