North Korea resumes flying balloons toward South, Seoul says
North Korea resumed flying balloons on Saturday in a likely attempt to drop trash on South Korea again, South Korea's military said, two days after Seoul activists floated their own balloons to scatter propaganda leaflets in the North. In response, South Korea suspended a tension-easing agreement with North Korea to restore front-line military activities. It wasn't immediately known if any of the North Korean balloons had landed on South Korean territory across the rivals' tense border. South Korean officials called the North Korean trash balloon launches and other recent provocations "absurd, irrational" and vowed strong retaliation. Experts say North Korea's balloon campaign is also meant to cause a divide in South Korea over its conservative government's tough approach on North Korea.

South Korea to blast loudspeaker broadcasts after North's trash balloons
SEOUL (Reuters) -- South Korea resumed loudspeaker broadcasts directed at North Korea on Sunday, its military said, following through on a warning demanding Pyongyang stop sending balloons carrying trash into the South. South Korea had warned the North it would take retaliatory measures which could include propaganda broadcasts from huge loudspeakers set up at the border. The broadcasts were made Sunday afternoon and whether more will follow depends on how North Korea responds, South Korea's military said. South Korea's broadcasts include world news and information about democratic and capitalist society with a mix of popular K-pop music. The sound is believed to travel more than 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) into North Korea.

Hunter-gatherer diets weren’t always heavy on meat: Morocco study reveals a plant-based diet
Researchers have also used this technique to compare the diets of Neanderthals and early modern humans (Homo sapiens) in Europe. It has some of the oldest ancient human DNA in Africa, which has allowed scientists to characterise human genetic ancestry in this region. This innovative approach gave us a clearer and more detailed picture of what ancient diets looked like, shedding light on how these people adapted to their environment long before anyone started farming crops. Surprising diet for hunter-gatherersWe analysed tooth enamel and bones from seven individuals from the cave of Taforalt and various isolated teeth. Understanding this helps us appreciate the complexity and flexibility of human diets in prehistory and how these dietary practices influenced our evolution and health.

European countries accused of complicity in deaths due to migration policies after charity vessel retrieves 11 corpses in Mediterranean, rescues more than 160. The aid group Doctors Without Borders has reported recovering 11 bodies and rescuing dozens of people off the coast of Libya as it criticised the migration policies of the North African country and European countries. “This catastrophe must end!”🔴TRIGGER WARNING After conducting two rescues early this morning, @MSF teams witnessed yet again the result of the devastating and bloody #European policies on #migration and non-assistance for people taking the #Mediterranean. “The so-called Libyan coastguard – financed by the EU – ignored our call demanding that the bodies be recovered,” the group said. Emphasising its policy on the rescue ships, Italy said on Friday that it forced the MSF rescue vessel to take the 165 people that it had saved from boats in the Mediterranean operation to the northern port of Genoa.
