Fisheries and Livestock State Minister Sultan Salauddin Tuku has directed authorities to increase the number of animals and birds at the National Zoo in Mirpur, aiming to enhance its appeal to visitors. The directive came during a surprise visit to the facility on Friday, where the state minister appeared unannounced to assess the ground reality of the country’s largest zoological park, according to a government media statement. The state minister issued an order to recover approximately 2.83 hectares of zoo land that is currently under illegal occupation. While the food supply for the animals was satisfactory, the overall environment required a significant upgrade to meet public expectations, he said.

Reading time: about 5 minutesApril Harper Grey, better known as underscores, has a history of obsessing over musical perfection. Her second album, Wallsocket, an eclectic hyperpop, dubstep, pop-punk journey, was released with an Alternate Reality Game involving an intricate story about a fictional town, Wallsocket, Michigan. The album was meticulously crafted, as can be seen in her lengthy livestreams explaining the production of the album. This inspiration manifests in the familiar and nostalgic feelings evoked by the album, with at times melancholic themes. Her Skrillex inspiration is perhaps most clear on the tracks “Music” and “Hollywood Forever,” two highlights of the album.

SAN SALVADOR, March 27, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - El Salvador approved a bill on Thursday allowing courts to sentence minors to life in prison for rape, murder or terrorism, the latest push in President Nayib Bukele's crackdown on gangs. Bukele, who has called himself the "world's coolest dictator," has filled El Salvador's prisons with thousands of suspected gang members in a sweep that has raised allegations of major human rights abuses. The Latin American country passed a constitutional reform earlier this month to allow life imprisonment for "murderers, rapists and terrorists." An especially contested policy allows anyone accused of gang affiliation to be sent to prisons for adults. The crackdown has slashed homicide rates to historic lows, but prompted accusations of human rights violations.

I left the lecture with two conclusions: The Trump administration is bleeding out and I may fail this exam. Kristi Noem was cold and reckless in delivering her agenda as the face of the administration's deportation program. It was around that same time California Sen. Alex Padilla (D) was thrown to the ground and detained at a conference given by former Secretary Noem. Upon further questioning, she claimed President Trump had approved her pompous campaign.

WASHINGTON, United States, March 27, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Survivors of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein sued the US government and Google on Thursday over victims' identities being mistakenly revealed in a trove of documents published online by the Justice Department (DOJ). But officials were left scrambling after names of victims -- who were supposed to be anonymized -- were left unredacted. The DOJ "outed approximately 100 survivors of the convicted sexual predator, publishing their private information and identifying them to the world," the plaintiffs said. Google continues to display victims' personal information in search results and AI-generated content, the case says. Plaintiffs claim that the government violated the Privacy Act of 1974, and that Google violated California laws on invasion of privacy, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and unlaw business practices.
