This article discusses the unfortunate fate of a 2 year olla gorilla named Eyare. This struck as a tragedy to staff and others in canada because gorillas and animals in general are very important. The canadian zoo director has come forward and stated that they are sympathetic to the incident and will take measures to make sure something like this doesn’t happen however this isn’t the first time it has happened. The article also states “The Calgary Zoo appears to have a higher rate of animal deaths compared to other zoos, and in light of Eyare’s death there should be a systematic review of the zoo’s operations and practices” this shows that many observers of the ongoing situation are questioning why anything hasn’t been done sooner.

I believe that this is heartbreaking to not only civilians but to other animals because gorillas are highly intelligent animals physically and mentally. staff should be trained better and the animals should be supervised more so situations like this don’t happen as often or ever. Animals should be taken just as seriously as Humans and if zoo establishments cannot properly care for their animals they should not be in zoo’s apart from their natural habitats.

reaction

Everyone was panicking when Covid 19 happened, everyone was afraid of getting infected, but then everything went away in December, I don’t know how, but maybe some scientist made some kind of device

COVID-19 is still a threat because of new variants and low vaccination rates, so precautions are still important.

Reflection:

The ongoing impact of COVID-19 highlights how a global health crisis can continue to impact people’s lives even after the most intense phase of the pandemic has passed. Despite progress in vaccines and treatments, the virus still poses a serious threat, especially with new variants that spread more easily. This situation shows how important it is for people to remain cautious and informed about health practices that can protect themselves and others. It also demonstrates the critical role that science and public health play in addressing these challenges. COVID-19 serves as a stark reminder of how interconnected the world is and how health issues in one area can have global implications. This pandemic has shown the importance of communities working together and supporting each other to stay safe and prevent further spread.

Reaction:

Hearing that COVID-19 is still affecting people reminds me why it’s important to continue to take your health seriously. I used to think that wearing masks, washing your hands, and social distancing were temporary, but now I understand why these habits are still useful. It also makes me wonder why some people choose not to get vaccinated or don’t take the virus seriously. I hope that with better treatments, COVID-19 will become less dangerous, and I’m waiting for that and worrying all the time.

Wildfires in New Jersey- Christopher Rosete

The fire, the latest of several in the region over the weekend, had causes one deaths and was not contained as of Sunday afternoon the officials said.Propelled by winds, the fire has blazed across 3,00 acres in Passaic County, N.J, and Orange County, N.Y about an hour northwest of New York City. As of Sunday evening, it was only 10 percent contained, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. The unseasonably dry conditions in New Jersey and the rough terrain were making the wildfire difficult to extinguish, the Chief Donnelly said, adding that the fire was spreading both above ground and through decaying root systems.An 18- year- old employee of the New York State parks system died on Saturday while fighting the fire.

My first reaction is sadness and shocked.I was shocked to hear about the recent wildfire that people passed away cause of the wildfire.Its sad that all of these people lose there houses and there lives due to these wildfires. These wildfires cause a lot of destruction and harm the environment.

Most people see Ukraine in the war, because we know that Russia attacked first, and that

Ukraine is so much smaller than russia. But in reality, it was Ukraine who started it in the first

place. During the 1990s, the USSR was meeting its end and before it did, they strictly told

Ukraine to not join NATO, which was a military alliance of countries mostly associated with

English speaking countries, and Ukraine accepted those terms and moved on. Until, after the

year 2019, a new president was elected, known as Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and he decided to

reject the terms, and made a public announcement in June, 2021. This started a war between

Ukraine and Russia, because Russia knew that once Ukraine joined NATO, they would try to

fight Russia since Ukraine is literally right next to russia. So in order to prevent this from

happening, Vladimer Putin sent a military invasion towards Ukraine, including missile strikes,

military soldiers, and naval warfare. This caused many deaths and innocent lives to perish, so

Ukraine called for international help throughout the world for help. That is when we all heard

about the news and attacks between Russia and Ukraine.

My personal opinion on this is that I feel bad for Ukraine, but I understand why Putin chose to

attack Ukraine, even though their message was too far. None of this would have ever happened

in the first place if Ukraine just decided to mind their own business and not engage with NATO in

the first place. In my opinion, both countries are at fault, Ukraine should have never tried to join

NATO, and Russia should have chosen a friendly approach.

Sarah McBride became the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. Congress. She won Delaware’s at large house seat, which was previously held by Lisa Blunt Rochester. McBride is an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and has served as a state senator. She wants to make a difference for her voters, focusing on unity and shared values.

I feel that this is an achievement in American politics, as people are becoming more open. As people become more open, the people who object gradually start to accept it. I personally don't accept the LGBTQ+ community, however it is progression. I also hope that as people open up more and more, it wouldn't affect people who don't want to have any correlation with the topic.

Donald Trump was able to secure more votes as he is more popular to some people and Kamala Harris was too cautious. Donald Trump has fulfilled most promises so he has more support. Donald Trump surviving 2 assassination attempts making him into an icon and a hero for the American people. When Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden most people didn’t know much about her. Since Joe Biden left the race a bit late Kamala Harris did lose a lot of time for her campaign.

Honestly I don’t have much of a reaction. As a person who doesn’t watch news and pay attention to the political world, I don’t really care as long as we can get back on track. I only respect those who keep their promises and not those who lie. If the promises are fulfilled in the end I wouldn’t really care about who that person is.

On the night of November 6th, the day right after the elections in America, the German Bundestag and government has reach a point of "Verge of collapse" due to the sacking of the Finance Minister Christian Lindner. (Sacking means being dismissal of an individual from their position) and why the sacking of Christian Lindner is important is because he just so happens to be the leader of the FDP (Free Democratic Party) who is apart of the governing parties of Germany, the Traffic light coalition. To help you understand this, Germany used to be governed by the three major parties who together hold majority of government. The political coalition includes: The Reds (SPD), The Greens, and The Yellow (FDP). In the past, this coalition ruled Germany as they had the majority control of the government and now due to the dismissal of Christian Lindner, The Free Democratic Party took back all of their Ministers and Congressmen leading to a dysfunctional Bundestag. Scholz, the Chancellor of Germany requested to the Federal President of Germany for permission to dismiss the Finance Minister because of their disagreement regarding the German economy. Due to the three parties having majority in the Bundestag any decision could be easily approved and law be made into effect. This cannot happen anymore due to the exit of the FDP. Ever since the FDP left the coalition Chancellor Scholz no longer holds the majority and broke the usual stability of the German government. Now the Chancellor will hold an vote in government in January. If he wins, the same political parties in power right now would stay in power until early election in late march which benefits Scholz. If not then later elections would take place which could lead to a major shift in power inside not just Germany, but the whole continent of Europe and the European Union due to dramatic shifts in Geopolitics and different policies in general. This may not sound so bad but the thing is this, In Germany the former traffic light coalition and the rest of the parties are vastly different in beliefs and policy. Due to no longer holding the majority the Chancellor and other party officials are unable to pass laws or make any decisions at all, a toothless tiger. Scholz's opponent Friedrich Merz is going to take this opportunity and replace Scholz as he knows that his days as Chancellor is numbered. Merz is confident and has every right to be confident in his chances of taking power in Germany as he was unanimously elected as Conservative candidate for Chancellorship. This means that Merz holds the 100% support of the two major conservative parties, the CDU and CSU. Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union respectively. Merz made it clear that he wants to close the border which would decrease Germany's Illegal immigration and crime problem. Merz is also in good relations with Trump. In summary; Due to the dismissal of Christian Lindner, the governing parties lost their power and majority, allowed for a actual opponent a good chance to replace the current governing party, and allowed for a possible massive change in Economic, Border, Wartime, Social Security, and Foreign Policy. My reaction to this Article and current event is one of surprise. This is because the German Bundestag and Government is usually very stable and major political shifts like this one has been very rare since the 1940s when Hitler was in charge. I believe that in the case of Merz taking power Germany could have a positive outcome as this governing coalition has been in power for years and Germany might need a change especially with the increase of crime and Illegal Immigration which the current governing party failed to address.

The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has sacked his finance minister Christian Lindner escalating a long conflict in the German government and ultimately causing the fragile coalition between Social Democrats, Greens, and the Free Democratic Party to collapse. For once, Scholz, often mocked as a robotic speaker without emotion, appeared to be angry - even resentful.

In a speech, Scholz blamed Lindner for the government's collapse, and portrayed his former finance minister as petty, uncompromising and untrustworthy. Linder's response was swift and equally bitter. He accused the chancellor of a lack of ambition and poor leadership.

The vice-chancellor and economy minister, Robert Habeck, admitted that ministers had been consistently arguing since 2021. But he added that he felt that the government collapse was avoidable and unnecessary.

Habeck is expected to run for chancellor, though he and his Green party are in the most difficult position of all coalition parties. They are in deep crisis, and the polls show that. In a recent poll, the Greens received the lowest popularity score since 2017.

But Habeck is clearly worried about more than his own party. He issued a stark warning to those who put their hopes in a snap election. In Germany's increasingly fragmented political landscape, forming governments on a local and national level will only get harder.

What next?

For the time being, Scholz will remain chancellor and most ministers will stay in their jobs. But having lost one of the junior partners in the coalition he no longer has a majority in the German Bundestag. This makes his government a toothless tiger, unable to pass laws or to make important decisions.

Scholz knows this and has announced a vote of confidence in the Bundestag for January 15. If he loses that vote, Scholz could then ask president Frank-Walter Steinmeier for early elections.

If Scholz's plan succeeds, the next federal elections in Germany would take place in late March - six months earlier than planned. But the Conservative opposition leader, Friedrich Merz, has already made it known that he doesn't want to wait that long.

He has called for Scholz to trigger new elections immediately. Merz knows that Scholz's days as chancellor are numbered, and that he has a good chance of replacing him.

A Trump supporter as German chancellor?

Right now, Merz has every reason to be confident. In September 2024, he was unanimously elected as Conservative candidate for the chancellorship. This means that Merz can count of the support of two parties: the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), which was last in power under Angela Merkel, and the Christian Social Union (CSU) in Bavaria.

In sharp contrast to his predecessor Merkel, Merz has made it his mission to close Germany's borders to asylum seekers - even if that would mean breaking international agreements. He polemically questions the relevance of traditional media and uses his X account to rail against criminal immigrants and gender-inclusive language. Like the newly reelected US president Donald Trump, Merz rejects environmentalism and is a firm believer in capitalism.

"We would get along" said Merz when asked about his feelings towards Trump. But there are some differences. For example, Merz has repeatedly stressed his unreserved support for Volodymyr Zelensky's forces and has pledged to provide more weapons and money for Ukraine.

As a trained lawyer, Merz was deeply critical of Trump's response to his election defeat in 2020. Then, Merz wrote on twitter: "Donald Trump is clearly no democrat. He refuses to accept his defeat or the decisions of the courts".

In 2024, things are different. Merz is embracing a second Trump presidency. Perhaps not enthusiastically, but certainly with a lot of pragmatism and some hope for the future. Even if he is less vocal about it than Hungary's Viktor Orbán, Merz's vision is to "Make Europe Great Again".

2024 trump has won the election and because of that trump might deport hundreds of immigrates back by joe Biden to where they were and the amount of immigrates are up to 1.3 million people and the immigrates who entered but have not yet received asylum is eligible for deportation While those who entered under the programs may be eligible for deportation, the first people likely to be targeted are those considered to be threats, possibly including Chinese men whom they deem to be of military age living illegally in the United States, three sources familiar with the plan told NBC News

my reaction was that this is kinda sad, but it does make sense because were letting so many people in and this is hard because the amount of people who will sleep on the streets because they won't get that many jobs because they just got here, and the number of schools won't be able to handle the kids to come but in the other hand maybe trump could of done something to help but this would make it dangerous for the people in America because the people were letting in could be gangs drug dealers and make America bad but it's also sad that many family's try to come and make a better life for their kids but it's hard

Zelensky confirms deadly clashes with North Korean troops as Putin says he's willing to talk with Trump.

North Korean troops were deployed to Russia where they fought with Kyiv’s troops which resulted in fatalities for both sides. Around 11k North Korean Soldiers were in Russia where Ukraine’s three month military incursion was. Some soldiers have already attacked the Ukrainian soldiers. Earlier this week the New York Times reported a number of dead North Korean soldiers in Russia. Ukraine and NATO think that because of the re-election of the US president the US will stop sending support. Putin seems to like Trump. Trump says he would end the war in a day and even suggested Ukraine give up a bit of what seems to be land to Moscow.

I think Donald Trump couldn’t just end the war in 24 hours because giving land away is a big thing to do but if Trump does reduce the amount of support he’s giving I don't know if Ukraine can hold back North Korea if they decided on a full blown war.

3 Iranian people living in America has been charged for planning murder on the president and a Iranian American activist to revenge qassem who was a captain of a elite unit in bagdad in 2020 which was under trouble control. they have been charged by the fbi for being hired to lay out these attacks. They were given 500k to watch 2 anonymous Jewish people. And the people of Iran has protest about this cause thinking it was unjust and a set up.

I think this is a set up from the IDF to continue the war against Iran and to fund isreal because they need a reason for the new president to attack and continue the war in the Middle East aginst iran and it’s proxy. The 3 people arrested should stay in jail if evidence points to them but I do not think the United States should go to war because it’s a set up to continue the war which would lead to a bigger war with Russia amd China

Summary:

Donald Trump won the presidency for the second time, overcoming criminal convictions, indictments, assassination, fraud accusations, and an unmatched opponent switch, showing a surprising political comeback.

My Reaction: When I heard that trump won again I was shocked because of everything that he had done. The first time he voted for presidency i didn't want him to become president, i kind of wanted Hillary Clinton to be our president but that didn't happen. He makes me mad because of the things he says or that people say at his rallies. For example, at his rally someone called Puerto rico a floating island of garbage and that made me mad cause I am from Puerto Rico.

Cristian, LD-  The Recent Theory of Life being found in another planet/moon other than Earth.

This Video talks about how scientists want to investigate/ research the moon of Jupiter named Europa as it might have living organisms under its crust. The Narrator goes on to talk about how there's a 100% chance that Europa has a kind of ocean under its crust and following the evidence that the other moons of Jupiter are volcanically active as Jupiter gives off radioactive energy to its moons. Later on the narrator talks about Europa most lively having underwater volcanoes which are also seen commonly on Earth's ocean floors, and how micro-organisms live and feed on them, thus Europa also has a high chance of having them as well.

I believe that this is highly interesting as this might change the way the scientific world views evolution and how life is created on different places off of earth.
