Le Monde: Peak 'unboxing'? The serial Advent calendar openers
Advent calendars, traditionally a way to count down to the holidays, have evolved into a frenzy of unboxing videos, particularly in the cosmetics sector. Influencers showcase entire calendars at once, often prioritizing content over the intended gradual reveal.
This trend raises questions about value, as consumers seek to determine whether the products within justify their hefty price tags, which can range from €40 to several hundred for luxury brands. Brands have capitalized on this phenomenon, with nearly all major cosmetics companies offering their own calendars.
Human Events: ‘State-sanctioned sexual assault’: Trans cops allowed to strip-search women in the UK
The British Transport Police (BTP) has implemented a policy allowing trans-identified male officers to strip-search women if they possess a gender recognition certificate (GRC). This decision follows previous backlash against similar policies, prompting the BTP to clarify its stance on gender identity in policing.
Critics, including former law enforcement leader Cathy Larkman, have condemned the policy as "state-sanctioned sexual assault," arguing it undermines women's rights and safety. Larkman asserts that the policy disregards the potential risks to women and reflects a troubling prioritization of gender identity over women's human rights.

The COP29 climate summit in Baku is nearing its conclusion, with a contentious deal on the table for wealthy nations to provide at least $300 billion annually to poorer countries for climate action. This proposal has faced backlash, as developing nations demand at least $500 billion.

The Epoch Times: Public Education System Set for Shake Up Under Trump
Under the Trump administration, significant changes to U.S. public education are anticipated, focusing on universal school choice, critical race theory, and transgender ideology. Trump aims to return education control to states, potentially leading to the dismantling of the Department of Education, which was established in 1979.
Key proposals include cutting federal funding for schools promoting certain ideologies, enhancing school choice, and eliminating diversity and inclusion programs in higher education. The administration faces challenges from organizations like the ACLU, which plans to oppose these changes legally.
