Facebook Tweet Email Link The Brazilian Supreme Court has ordered the house arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial over an alleged plot to overturn the results of the 2022 presidential election. Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the order Monday, saying Bolsonaro had failed to comply with restrictions previously imposed on him by the court, including use of social media and cell phones.

What happened? American Eagle released a campaign starring the exceedingly charismatic actress Sydney Sweeney. In one ad, she is seen clad in a revealing version of the Canadian tuxedo, veritably busting out of a not really buttoned jean jacket. But though the mere facts of her physical existence have ignited multiple national debates…

Facebook Tweet Email Link AP  —  Afghanistan is seeing its sharpest-ever surge of child malnutrition, the World Food Program said Monday, adding it needed $539 million to help the country’s most vulnerable families. Almost 10 million people, a quarter of Afghanistan’s population, face acute food insecurity. One in three children is stunted.

In April, the administration of US President Donald Trump cut off food aid to Afghanistan, one of the world’s poorest countries.…

Facebook Tweet Email Link A zoo in northern Denmark is asking pet owners to donate their unwanted guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and even small horses – not to put them on display but to feed them to the zoo’s predators. The Aalborg Zoo wrote in a Facebook post that it is trying to “imitate the natural food chain of the animals”. “Chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs form an important part of the diet of our predators,” it wrote in the post alongside an image of openmouthed, sharp-toothed lynx. “That way, nothing goes to waste — and we ensure natural behavior,…
