The Telegraph: An escort, a murder and a miniskirt ban: How a parliamentary scandal shocked Peru
Peruvian lawmakers have enacted a ban on female legislative aides wearing miniskirts or shorts amid a scandal involving an alleged prostitution ring in Congress. Critics argue this reflects outdated and misogynistic attitudes, especially following serious allegations of violence and sexual misconduct.
The controversy intensified after the murder of a former congressional aide, which led to investigations revealing a sex-for-votes scheme within the legislative body. This has prompted calls for accountability and reform among political parties.

GB News: Archaeology mystery: New theory about Easter Island heads could rewrite history of iconic statues
A new theory by Graham Hancock posits that the Easter Island statues, or Moai, could be over 11,000 years old, predating Polynesian settlers by millennia. He suggests the first inhabitants arrived around 12,000 years ago, challenging established timelines based on archaeological evidence.
Hancock's claims have sparked debate among experts, with some, like Dr. Dale F. Simpson Jr., pointing to similar statues in other Pacific islands as evidence against his theory. Despite criticism regarding the validity of his findings, Hancock remains steadfast in his belief that the statues represent an independent evolution of culture on Easter Island.
