Asked if she was cultivating a two-tier class system of the vaccinated and unvaccinated, Ardern stunningly admitted: “That is what it is, so, yep....

Colombia are a Latin American side and if you allow them to have the ball for the majority of the time, you will have to chase and defend,” he wrote in a column....

The U.N. Special Rapporteur on human rights in North Korea, Tomás Ojea Quintana, warned that the growth of food insecurity in North Korea was “alarming” as its border with China remained closed amid wider sanctions.

Twitter Steps Away From Automation Twitter faced criticism after users found that its auto-crop feature may have an inherent racial bias. The platform debuted its smart-cropping feature back in 2018.
