Finnish Prime Minister Drug Testing
A day after the Opposition demanded a drug screening of Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin over a viral party video, Marin took a drug test and vowed she had never used illegal drugs.
Marin, 36, also said her ability to perform her official duties had remained unimpaired on the Saturday night in question and she would have gone to work if she had to.
Marin had been facing criticism after a video of her partying with well-known Finnish influencers and artists went viral on social media. In the video, the Finnish prime minister can be seen dancing and singing with her friends.
Finland’s Prime Minister @MarinSanna is in the headlines after a video of her partying was leaked today.
"In recent days, there have been quite grave public accusations that I was in a space where drugs were used, or that I myself used drugs," Marin told a press conference.
"I consider these accusations to be very serious and, though I consider the demand for a drug test unjust, for my own legal protection and to clear up any doubts, I have taken a drug test today, the results of which will come in about a week."
Marin, who became the world's youngest serving government leader in December 2019, had faced calls from members of her governing coalition as well as from the opposition to take a drug test after the videos emerged.
Social Democrat leader Marin said she had never done drugs and that she had not seen anyone doing so at the party she attended.
While many have praised Marin for combining her demanding job with an active private life, others have questioned her decision to allow herself to be filmed even when promised that the videos would not be made public.
At a time when Europe has been unsettled by Russia's war in Ukraine, Marin has also faced criticism that her partying could interfere with her ability to quickly carry out her duties if a sudden crisis hit Finland.
"If there were to be a crisis, I would know about it before midnight on a Saturday evening," she told reporters, adding that the Finnish armed forces were well equipped to anticipate any military crisis that might affect the country.
Finland, which shares a long land border with Russia, has applied along with neighbouring Sweden to join NATO following the war in Ukraine.

The Airstrikes
Al-Quda Brigades of Islamic Jihad confirmed on Sunday that the airstrike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah had killed Khaled Mansour, the commander, and two fellow militants.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group said an Israeli airstrike late on Saturday killed its top commander for the southern Gaza Strip, a day after Israel killed the Iranian-backed group’s commander for northern Gaza in an air raid that triggered the worst cross-border conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants since the end of an 11-day war in 2021.
Al-Quda Brigades of Islamic Jihad confirmed on Sunday that the airstrike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah had killed Khaled Mansour, the commander, and two fellow militants.
It said five other civilians, including a child and three women, were also killed in the airstrike that flattened several homes in Rafah.
Late on Saturday, Gaza’s Health Ministry said 24 people have been killed so far in the coastal strip, including six children.

The Sumups
In a case of gross medical negligence, the staff of a rural health centre in Pakistan’s Sindh province severed the head of a newborn baby and left it inside the mother’s womb, leaving the 32-year-old Hindu woman in a life-threatening situation.
The tragic incident prompted the Sindh government to form a medical inquiry board to get to the bottom of the incident and trace the culprits.
“The Bheel Hindu woman, who belongs to a far-flung village in Tharparkar district, had first gone to a Rural Health Centre (RHC) in her area but with no female gynaecologist available, the inexperienced staff caused her immense trauma,” said Professor Raheel Sikander, who heads the gynaecology unit of the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS) in Jamshoro.
When the woman faced a life-threatening situation, she was rushed to a nearby hospital in Mithi where there were no facilities to treat her. Eventually, her family brought her to the LUMHS where the rest of the body of the newborn was taken out of the mother’s womb, saving her life, he said.
Sikandar said the baby’s head was entrapped inside and the mother’s uterus had been ruptured and they had to open up her abdomen surgically and take out the head to save her life.

The leasders
European leaders and businesses are sweating over fears that Russia’s manipulation of natural gas supplies will lead to an economic and political crisis next winter or perhaps sooner. Here are key things to know about the energy pressure game over the war in Ukraine.
What has happened?
Russia last week reduced gas supplies to five European Union (EU) countries, including Germany, the biggest economy of the bloc that is heavily dependent on Moscow’s gas to generate electricity and power industry.
Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom has cut supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany — Europe’s major natural gas pipeline — by 60%. Italy is seeing its supply cut by half. Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia too have seen supply cuts.
This comes on top of gas shutoffs to Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, and the Netherlands in recent weeks. Those shutoffs were initially seen as less of a problem because Poland, for instance, was already phasing out Russian gas by the end of the year, while others had alternative supplies.
The latest cutbacks, however, hit countries that are major economies and use lots of Russian natural gas. Germany relies on Russia for 35% of its gas imports; Italy for 40%. Right now, gas supplies are enough for current needs.

THe Israel
The leaders of Israel's governing coalition said Monday that they will submit a bill next week to dissolve parliament, legislation that would force new elections if approved.
"After exhausting all efforts to stabilise the coalition, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and... (Foreign Minister) Yair Lapid have decided to submit a bill" dissolving parliament "next week", the two leading coalition partners said in a statement.
They also said that if the bill is approved, Lapid will take over as premier of a caretaker government.
Should that happen, it would be Lapid who would host US President Joe Biden during his scheduled visit to Israel next month.
The ideologically divided eight-party alliance was forged one year ago and includes religious nationalists, like Bennett, Lapid's centrist Yesh Atid party, left-wingers and, for the first time in Israeli history, lawmakers from an Arab Islamist party.
But the coalition, cobbled together to end the tenure of divisive leader Benjamin Netanyahu, was under threat from its inception.
It lost its majority in Israel's 120-seat parliament in April when a member of Bennett's Yamina party announced her departure.
Recent divisions over the renewal of a measure that allows Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank to live under Israeli law caused fresh friction, with some left-wingers refusing to back it.

The KIng ANimals
A video of two kangaroos fighting each other in their enclosure at San Antonio Zoo in Texas is gaining traction on social media. The fight has been filmed by zoo president and CEO Tim Morrow, who called it Marsupial Martial Arts, wordplay on the popular combat sport, the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
"Who wants some? MMA (Marsupial Martial Arts)," Mr Morrow said in his tweet, which was picked up by many news organisations, including Storyful. The two "fighters" are also seen kicking each other, balancing their bodies on their tails.
As the video ends, one of the kangaroos is seen running away while the other one follows it.
Kangaroos, which appear in the official symbol of Australia, are well-known for taking the fights seriously. Many people have in the past posted videos of the animals partaking in a unique phenomenon known as boxing.
Their tails are extremely strong and muscular, and can hold their entire weight - allowing the kangaroos to use the long and powerful hind legs in fights.
Young kangaroos regularly spar as a way to learn vital skills to be used in real fights later in life. This is also engaged by kangaroo mothers to prepare the joeys for life as adults.
