The H5N1 bird flu virus is increasingly alarming the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization as it spreads to mammal species, including pets and livestock. This epidemic has led to the culling of 166 million chickens in the United States, consequently causing a significant rise in egg prices.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently established a presence on Truth Social, a social media platform owned by U.S. President Donald Trump. Modi’s inaugural post featured a photograph with Trump from a 2019 event in Houston, and he had garnered 28,400 followers by the following afternoon.

On Monday night, a pipeline explosion occurred in Rivers State’s Bodo community, jeopardizing over 450,000 barrels of crude oil production daily. The incident has resulted in a fire affecting local mangroves. Authorities have arrested two individuals in connection with the event, but its causes remain under investigation.

President Trump announced the release of approximately 80,000 pages of unredacted documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. While the White House suggests that the revelations will shock Americans, historians remain skeptical about the potential impact of these documents.

A recent GZERO-Echelon poll reveals that 54% of American voters are opposed to President Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Support is particularly strong among Republicans, who favor the tariffs by a 47-point margin, while Independents and Democrats oppose them by margins of 30 and 76, respectively.

In the same poll, respondents were asked to identify world leaders they perceive as dictators. North Korea’s Kim Jong Un ranked highest at 77%, followed by Vladimir Putin at 75%, with President Trump receiving a rating of 36%.
