    Utah officials faced criticism over bird flu outbreak at mink farm

    A ProPublica investigation reveals that bird flu has been spreading on a mink farm in Utah since August, with minimal efforts by public authorities to control the situation. According to the report, health officials from the state did not screen workers for symptoms or conduct contact tracing, even though they had regular exposure to infected animals and faced potential risks like bites and scratches. The agriculture department reportedly resisted testing due to farmers' frustration with the process. Amanda Price, Utah’s state veterinarian, described the outbreak as devastating, highlighting its impact on the farmer's way of life. The Guardian writer George Monbiot claims that mink farms may enable bird and human flu viruses to swap genetic information, warning that a strain combining higher deadliness with greater transmissibility could present a major threat. He points out that transmission of bird flu from person to person has remained very limited up to now. Monbiot also criticizes authorities for not issuing an emergency declaration, stating they were concerned it might draw attention from animal rights organizations. He suggests that livestock farming in general can aid the emergence and spread of new diseases. The piece also references remarks by U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who proposed that chicken farmers allow bird flu to circulate among their birds—an approach Monbiot calls risky. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/the-next-global-pandemic-could-be-brewing-on-a-mink-farm-in-utah-and-little-is-being-done-to-stop-it-george-monbiot-31648

    Australia tells court under-16 social media ban modestly limits political speech

    The Australian government says its restriction on social media accounts for people under 16 imposes an “indirect and modest” burden on their ability to communicate about politics. In court, government barrister Stephen Lloyd SC argued that the law targets platform features such as endless scrolling, likes, comments, personalised recommendations and push notifications, which he said pose a credible risk of harm to under-16s. Reddit is challenging the ban, arguing that it restricts the implied freedom of political communication and was rushed through in 2024 as overly broad legislation. The government says rules for platforms were part of the law from the outset and the court should assess how it operates now. The ban took effect in December 2025. More than five million accounts that platforms understand belong to people under 16 have since been suspended or deactivated across ten platforms, including Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Lloyd said children face no penalty for holding an account and can still access services outside the ban, as well as Reddit and YouTube without an account. He also said a hypothetical Reddit Kids service without the targeted features might allow under-16s to communicate about politics, but Reddit would still need to assess users’ ages. Apart from YouTube Kids, no platform has received an exemption for a version specifically designed for teens. The hearing is due to conclude Wednesday afternoon. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/australian-government-concedes-social-media-ban-places-burden-on-freedom-of-political-communication-for-teens-31602

    Binance completes reserves proof, replenishes 95% of hacked assets

    Binance has announced the completion of a new zero-knowledge proof-of-reserves snapshot. The exchange stated that users with holdings in Bitcoin, Ether, Tether, BNB, Solana, USD Coin, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and Zcash can independently confirm that their balances are backed at a one-to-one ratio. Binance also said it has replenished roughly 95 percent of the assets affected by the hack using its own funds. The remaining five percent consists of less-liquid tokens that the company is still working to acquire. The platform plans another reserves snapshot and expects to begin gradually restoring withdrawals for more networks and assets. Co-CEO Richard Teng said there was still work to do and that Binance would continue to communicate its progress. Binance co-founder and co-CEO Yi He said generating the full zero-knowledge proof is expected to take approximately 40 to 50 hours after the snapshot is completed. Onchain investigators have said North Korean hackers exploited Binance’s internal systems and wallet-signing mechanisms to move more than six billion dollars across multiple blockchains. SomaXBT reported that North Korean hackers laundered roughly 242 million dollars of the stolen funds on Tron. DeFiLlama data shows that Binance’s 24-hour net outflows fell to about 3.29 billion dollars, more than 50 percent below an earlier peak of around seven billion dollars. The tracker estimates that the exchange holds approximately 127.78 billion dollars in assets across linked onchain wallets. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/binance-completes-latest-proof-of-reserves-as-it-works-to-restore-assets-withdrawals-after-record-hack-31590

    Chris Pappas wins New Hampshire Senate race, becoming first out gay senator

    Democrat Chris Pappas has won New Hampshire’s Senate race, defeating former senator John Sununu in a close contest. The four-term congressman will succeed retiring Democratic senator Jeanne Shaheen. At 46, Pappas will be the first out gay man to serve in the U.S. Senate. Pappas ran as a centrist and focused on opposing the Trump administration, citing its low approval ratings in New Hampshire. He portrayed Sununu as a faux moderate who would ultimately support the president’s agenda. Sununu, who lost his Senate seat in 2008, presented himself as independent-minded despite Trump’s endorsement. He criticized the war in Iran and accused the administration of not doing enough to support Ukraine. In a recent campaign ad, Sununu said he had “never met” the president. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/democrat-chris-pappas-wins-new-hampshire-senate-race-to-become-first-out-gay-senator-31619

    Tall Tales and Murder review: Irish crime drama loses focus amid too many plots

    The Irish show “Tall Tales and Murder” moves quickly, featuring gangsters, a nursing home, hidden treasure, and evolving storylines. It is based on the first book in Caimh McDonnell’s Dublin Trilogy and adapted for TV by Stuart Carolan, known for creating “Love/Hate,” alongside co-creator Chris Addison. The narrative centers on Bridget, a caregiver portrayed by Ella Lily Hyland, and Paul, a local troublemaker played by Casey Walsh. Their lives change when a patient in a coma awakens and rekindles a criminal conflict over Celtic gold. The critic notes that Hyland and Walsh display compelling chemistry, and commends Sheila Flitton for her portrayal of Rose, a woman with dementia who thinks she is seven years old. The narrative concerning Paul's history of abuse is highlighted as being sensitively managed. However, the review points out that the six-part series becomes progressively overdone, burdened by an excessive number of characters and subplots. Some care home residents gradually disappear from the storyline, and a key early arc involving the deaths of two figures remains unfinished. “Tall Tales and Murder” was broadcast on BBC One and can be viewed on iPlayer. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/tall-tales-and-murder-review-this-irish-version-of-the-wire-makes-for-mile-a-minute-tv-31489

    Barcelona beat Aston Villa 3-0 as Raphinha scores twice

    Barcelona beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the Champions League at Camp Nou. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the seventh minute, cutting in from the left and finishing with a left-footed shot. Raphinha scored twice, making it 2-0 in the 52nd minute with a deflected shot and adding the third after a low cross from João Cancelo. His first goal was his 18th in 13 appearances for Barcelona this season. Pedri was central to Barcelona’s control of the match. He set up Raphinha’s first goal with a driving run through the middle and a forward pass, then left the pitch to an ovation. Aston Villa had chances, including a Johan Manzambi shot that went wide. Their closest moment came when the ball clipped the post off a Barcelona player’s head in the crowd at a corner. Villa remain well placed in the Champions League’s first-phase table, and manager Unai Emery will want another opportunity to face opponents of Barcelona’s level. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/raphinha-underlines-barcelonas-class-to-give-aston-villa-a-reality-check-31579

    Private Tagore archive goes on public display in Mumbai

    A private family collection documenting Rabindranath Tagore’s later years is being shown to the public for the first time at an exhibition hosted by Christie’s in Mumbai. The archive draws on Tagore’s visits to the home of his protégé, Maitreyi Devi, in Mungpoo, Darjeeling, between 1938 and 1940. The exhibition, “Rabindranath Tagore and Mungpoo,” runs from November 10 to December 18 at Christie’s space in south Mumbai. Tagore died in 1941. The archive contains artworks, manuscripts, letters, photographs and personal items. A manuscript from 1940 appears to be a draft of Tagore’s memoir, “Chelebela,” or “My Boyhood Days.” Exhibition curator Nishad Avari said its reflections on education echo the ideas Tagore put into practice at Santiniketan, his experimental school. It is the only one of the exhibition’s 10 complete manuscripts dictated to Devi, Avari said. The collection also includes letters between Tagore and Devi’s father, and later between Tagore and Devi, as well as a portrait of Devi. Avari hopes public access to the materials will give historians, scholars and admirers additional perspectives on Tagore. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/the-private-creative-world-of-rabindranath-tagore-the-man-yeats-called-greater-than-any-of-us-31540

    Charleston exhibition examines mental health in the Bloomsbury group

    An upcoming display at Charleston in Lewes explores the topic of mental health among members of the Bloomsbury group, questioning the long-standing image of Virginia Woolf as a solitary, tormented artistic figure. According to curator Hazel McMichael, the exhibition investigates the influence of psychiatry and psychoanalysis on the group’s everyday existence and creative output. It also seeks to reclaim the term “mad” as something to be proud of and tied to political identity, while recognizing the sad outcome of Woolf’s death by her own hand in 1941. The show contrasts Woolf's largely private treatment within her home with that of artist Helen Coombe, whose work came to an end following her confinement in a mental institution, where she remained for the final 26 years of her life. The exhibition also highlights individuals whose narratives are rarely heard, such as Mary Elizabeth Wilson, a domestic worker whose profound psychological suffering was described by Vanessa Bell. Another figure is Laura Stephen, the half-sister of Virginia Woolf, who entered an asylum at age 22. Modern pieces from the Mad Heritage Collective and artist Louisa Fairclough offer viewpoints informed by personal experience with mental health challenges and psychotic episodes. The display explores links to eugenics, including John Maynard Keynes’s position as vice-president of the Eugenics Society and Woolf’s reflections on those with intellectual disabilities. “Mad Bloomsbury” runs at Charleston from November 4 to April 11. https://wallstreetturkish.com/en/the-output-of-a-lunatic-asylum-what-the-bloomsbury-group-can-tell-us-about-mental-health-31403
