Where will the Samba storm lead Brazil on Fifa World Cup?

The 'Maracanazo' of the 1950 World Cup final remains a deep wound in Brazilian memory. Yet from that wound was born the Football Emperor — Pelé. In that continuity, Brazil has repeatedly written stories of returning to World Cup glory. And on the night of June 29, 2026, in Houston, history perhaps witnessed the rise of a new Brazil. The Brazil that cried against Uruguay nine decades ago, with a last-gasp victory over Japan, announced that this is no longer the old Brazil. This Brazil does not cry; this Brazil fights, comes back, and wins.

Measles outbreak: Just negligence or a wake-up call?

We thought we had beaten this enemy for good. After polio and tetanus, we had nearly said goodbye to measles too and were feeling proud about it. Nobody expected it to quietly come back and hit us this hard. Working in social development at an NGO, I follow field-level news every day sometimes it fills me with hope, sometimes with deep sadness. When I read in the newspapers that over 700 children have died from measles or measles-like illness, and nearly one lakh children are affected, my heart sinks. For those of us who work for children's health and rights, this is not just worrying it is truly frightening.
