🇯🇵🐔🦠 — 📰 Bloomberg: Bird Flu Outbreak Sparks Record Slaughter of 10 Million Animals in Japan

— "Japan has culled close to 10 million birds in a record outbreak of avian influenza, as authorities struggle to tamp down the disease that has already devastated poultry flocks worldwide.

The agriculture ministry said on Monday that 9.98 million birds have been culled this season, surpassing a previous record in fiscal 2020. On Tuesday, it confirmed the disease at an egg farm in Miyazaki prefecture that housed about 100,000 hens.

The outbreak in Japan is adding to the unprecedented bird flu epidemic sweeping the world. Culls are curbing supplies of products from eggs to foie gras, exacerbating the food inflation that’s hit consumer budgets the past year."

💰🏳️‍🌈❌🇧🇷 — Director of Soros Open Society Foundations for Latin America Condemns "attempted Far-Right Coup" and declares support to Luís Inácio Lula da Silva

— Pedro Abramovay – the director of Latin America for the Open Society Foundations – told EL PAÍS by telephone that he considers the assault on Brazil’s capital to be “an attempted coup: a violent attempt to overthrow a democratically-elected government.”

In interview to El País, Abramovay sees parallels between the mob in Brasília and the January 6 Capitol attack. He also doesn’t find it to be a coincidence that Bolsonaro happens to be in Florida at this time, after refusing to attend Lula’s inauguration. “Brazil needs to make it clear that there is a difference between the right to peaceful protest and this violent attempt to undermine democracy,” he said.
