Le Monde: In Ukraine, the grueling search for the missing on the battlefield
Ukrainian authorities are working to address the issue of tens of thousands of missing persons due to the ongoing war with Russia. A new agreement with the International Commission on Missing Persons aims to establish a centralized data system by 2025 to help identify these individuals using various forensic methods.
The forensics department acknowledges the challenges ahead, noting that prior to the war, there was no centralized system for tracking missing persons, and regional efforts were often inadequate. The conflict has brought renewed attention to the need for such a system.

Times Of Israel: Iranian government said scrambling for solutions as energy crisis plagues country
Iran is facing a severe energy crisis, worsened by winter conditions and years of underinvestment. Schools and government institutions have closed due to widespread power outages, exacerbated by attacks on gas pipelines attributed to Israel. The government is struggling to replenish energy supplies.
The crisis is compounded by heavy sanctions limiting modernization efforts, leading to mismanagement and corruption. The Iranian rial has plummeted in value, impacting manufacturing and raising fears of layoffs.

Fox News: Report highlights prevalence of DEI at Ivy League institutions: 'Dominant ideology'
A report by Cornell professor William Jacobson reveals that Ivy League universities are continuing to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training despite a Supreme Court ruling prohibiting race in admissions decisions. Jacobson argues that these institutions maintain a focus on racial identities through various programs and initiatives.
The findings indicate that all Ivy League schools have DEI offices and training requirements, with many integrating DEI topics into curricula and orientation. Jacobson asserts that while these universities claim to avoid racial considerations, their practices suggest otherwise, highlighting a persistent race-focused culture.
