Fox News: China skirts US efforts to stiff-arm CCP interference by bolstering state, local relations
The U.S. has taken steps to counter threats from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), particularly regarding investments in U.S. farmland. However, a new report highlights that China's influence in the U.S. is primarily exerted at state and local levels, bypassing federal security measures.
This localized approach allows China to build relationships that focus on economic development, often at the expense of national security. The report calls for a more coordinated response to address the complex influence efforts of the CCP across various sectors in the U.S.

Times Of Israel: Report: Soldiers say open-fire policies in Gaza too loose, leading to civilian deaths

Soldiers described a lack of clear guidelines, resulting in indiscriminate shooting in the Netzarim Corridor.
The IDF has defended its actions, asserting that all operations are conducted under strict protocols aimed at minimizing civilian harm. However, reports suggest that commanders have been given increased authority to engage targets without the usual oversight, raising concerns about accountability and the treatment of civilians.

GB News: 'Opportunistic omnivores!' Squirrels spotted hunting and eating rodents in ‘shocking’ discovery
California ground squirrels have been observed hunting and eating voles, challenging previous beliefs about their diet as primarily seed and nut eaters. This behavior, documented by researchers at UC Davis, suggests squirrels are opportunistic omnivores, adapting to local food availability.
The study recorded over 74 interactions between squirrels and voles, with more than 42% involving active hunting, particularly during a spike in vole populations. This adaptability raises questions about the ecological impact and potential disease transmission between species.
