Summary

An impeachment trial involving Vice-President Sara Duterte began in Manila in early July 2026. The case centers on an alleged assassination plot and involves the Duterte family's political dynasty.

The trial is one of several political stories unfolding at the same time, including a by-election in Australia after a minister's resignation, a US Senate campaign setback for Democrat Platner over a sexual assault accusation, and a Hamas announcement about dissolving its emergency government in Gaza.
