Fox News: Putin offers to pay off debts as recruitment tool in war against Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin has introduced a law allowing military recruits to have debts up to 10 million rubles (about $96,000) written off if they enlist after December 1, 2024. This move aims to bolster Russian forces amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The legislation also extends to the spouses of recruits and appears to mimic President Biden's recent student loan forgiveness initiatives, although Biden's program does not tie debt relief to military service. Reports indicate that Russia is also recruiting foreign fighters, including Yemeni men, under dubious circumstances.

Fox News: Choking emergency? How to do the Heimlich maneuver — and when to avoid it
Knowing how to respond during a choking emergency can save lives. The Heimlich maneuver, which uses abdominal thrusts, is recommended for dislodging obstructions in the windpipe. First, call 911, then assess the situation to determine if the Heimlich should be performed.
For adults and children, the Heimlich involves thrusting just above the belly button. For infants, back blows and chest thrusts are advised instead. If alone, individuals can perform the Heimlich on themselves. Awareness of choking hazards, especially for children, is crucial.
