The Black Sea ceasefire deal


Dear readers,

​This week, the United States brokered a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine focusing on the Black Sea, aiming to ensure safe navigation and halt attacks on energy infrastructure. The news comes as Ukraine creates a new battalion made up of recruits who have voluntarily swapped prison cells for the battlefield.

In other news, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to El Salvador and visited the mega-prison where 200 Venezuelans are being held (...).

We also spoke to the Peruvian fisherman who survived 95 days lost at sea, and traveled to Antarctica to explore why pink snow has become a problem.

Mexico's extermination center


Dear readers,

This week, we went inside the Izaguirre ranch in Mexico, which was used as a recruitment and extermination center by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. A group of searchers has found hundreds of skeletal remains, crematoriums, graves, and 1,308 objects. Hundreds of families are now searching among them for clues about their missing loved ones.

We also looked at Trump's decision to deport alleged members of the Tren de Aragua criminal organization to El Salvador, despite a judge ordering a halt to the flights. "He’s a good, hard-working boy," said one mother, who recognized her son in photos of the deportees.

And in science news, we took a tour of Spain's first publicly accessible quantum computer, and asked experts whether giving a polypill to everyone over 50 is a good way to prevent cardiac disease.
