This is Punch - a baby macaque monkey that was born at the Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan…After being rejected by his mother, zookeepers stepped in to hand-raise him and since monkeys instinctively cling to their mothers from the moment they are born, Punch went through a bunch of soft toys and blankets before falling in love with a stuffed orangutan

The little guy has been slowly introduced into a group of other macaques at the zoo, though he still keeps his stuffed animal tucked tightly under his arm

Talk about adorable!

🌍 A new energy corridor is coming — from Africa straight to Europe.

⚡ Algeria has confirmed that construction on the 4,100 km Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline will soon resume. The project could carry 30 billion cubic meters of Nigerian gas each year through Niger to Algeria and onward to Europe — around 6–7% of the EU’s pre-war demand.

🧭 Beyond energy, it’s geopolitics: Europe gains supply security, Nigeria monetizes stranded resources, and Algeria strengthens its regional leverage. But with instability in the Sahel and financing hurdles, execution won’t be easy.

💬 Is this Africa’s moment to turn natural resources into global power — or another megaproject trapped by geopolitics?

🌍 GLOBAL UPDATE: Trump, Netanyahu push renewed pressure on Iran oil sales

Former US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly agreed to maintain a “maximum pressure” strategy on Iran, including targeting its oil exports to China. China remains the primary buyer of Iranian oil despite sanctions, making energy flows a central pressure point in efforts to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

While Trump is said to believe a negotiated agreement with Iran may still be possible, Netanyahu has expressed deep skepticism, arguing that any deal would fail to prevent Iran from advancing its capabilities. Advisers including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff reportedly support continued diplomacy alongside tightened economic pressure. The strategy signals a dual-track approach: negotiations on one hand, sanctions enforcement on the other, amid broader US–China geopolitical competition.

Our Question: Can pressure on Iran’s oil exports reshape nuclear negotiations?
