Briefs: Trump tariffs, ebola vaccine, PlayStation issues, US measles surge

This collection of brief news items touches on a variety of global and local Danish topics. In international affairs, former US President Donald Trump's new tariffs are noted, with a Danish perspective suggesting the EU will bear a high cost. Separately, the first person has been vaccinated with a new experimental ebola vaccine in a trial developed by Oxford University. This vaccine targets the Bundibugyo variant currently causing an outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda, where over 1,000 deaths have been confirmed among 2,500 cases.

Technology and public health concerns are also highlighted. Sony's PlayStation Network is experiencing issues, affecting online gaming, app access, and other network functions, with the company working to resolve the problem. Meanwhile, the United States is facing a significant resurgence of measles, with over 2,318 cases reported so far this year, surpassing the total for the previous year and marking the worst year since 1991. This increase is linked to a decline in vaccination rates falling below the 95% threshold needed to prevent outbreaks.
