Hundreds of Cats Stolen for Food in Vietnam Rescued by Police

After Israel became the first country to recognise Somaliland’s independence, the breakaway state opened an embassy in Jerusalem, further cementing its diplomatic relationship. President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who hailed a deep spiritual bond between the peoples. Somalia condemns the move as a violation of its sovereignty, while the Palestinian Authority denounces the embassy’s opening under "occupied" Jerusalem. Israel’s decision to host the mission in its capital, rather than Tel Aviv, draws praise from Netanyahu and underscores the shifting geopolitical landscape in the region. The embassy’s establishment reflects Somaliland’s long‑standing governance and potential cooperation over resources and regional stability.

A new Indian Grade‑9 textbook replaced a bronze sculpture of the Indus Valley’s Dancing Girl with a dark‑shaded image of its torso, sparking a backlash from historians and educationists. The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) later restored the original picture in the digital edition and promised future print runs to use the unedited figure. Critics argue that the censorship was unnecessary and undermined an iconic artifact’s artistic value, while pro‑censorship officials cited concerns over nudity. The incident highlights tensions around cultural representation, educational standards, and the handling of archaeological objects in public curricula. The debate underscores how even ancient artifacts are subject to contemporary moral and policy debates, illustrating the broader conversation around heritage, pedagogy, and media governance in India.

In Versailles, France, the oldest female detainee—79‑year‑old Marie‑Thérèse Garcia—faces murder charges tied to a case that began in 1995. The body of Corinne Di Dio was found dismembered in the Seine, but it took today’s DNA technology to link the suspect to the crime. Police recovered hairs from the trunk that matched either Garcia or a close relative, effectively resolving years of investigative silence. This case illustrates the power of modern forensic science in cold‑case investigations, and highlights the link between organized crime history and contemporary legal proceedings.
