Published

on

“Poverty and desperation” were the words used by Mexico’s president when he described the events that led to the deaths of at least 50 migrants

The individuals were found abandoned in a Texas lorry, in what is the worst case of migrant deaths due to smuggling in U.S. history. 

Survivors were “hot to the touch” and suffering from heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

Three people have been taken into custody after more than 40 bodies of migrants have been found dead in a truck in Texas.

Who are the dozens of dead people found inside a truck in Texas?

Sixteen people who were found alive, including 12 adults and four children, are now recovering in hospital.

Mexico’s Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed two of the survivors were from Guatemala.

The truck was found next to railway tracks in a remote area of San Antonio.

“(They) found a trailer with the doors partially open and opened them up to take a look and found a number of deceased individuals inside,” McManus said.

Hood said a body was found outside the truck and the remainder were found inside the trailer.

Victoria’s Secret criticized for trans woman’s apology

Published

on

Victoria’s Secret is facing backlash after issuing an apology to a transgender woman who had a negative experience while trying on bras at one of their stores.

The incident has ignited a debate about inclusivity and sensitivity in the fashion industry.

The controversy began when the trans woman, who remains anonymous, visited a Victoria’s Secret store to shop for bras. She reported feeling uncomfortable and discriminated against by store staff.

In response to her complaint, Victoria’s Secret issued an apology, acknowledging the incident and expressing their commitment to diversity and inclusion.

However, the apology itself has come under fire from both supporters and critics.

Some argue that the brand’s apology is insincere and merely an attempt to save face, while others believe it is a step in the right direction towards a more inclusive shopping experience for all customers.

The incident raises important questions about how brands should handle situations involving discrimination and whether their apologies are genuine or performative.

It also highlights the ongoing challenges faced by transgender individuals when accessing spaces traditionally designed for cisgender customers.

As the fashion industry continues to evolve, many are calling for a deeper examination of inclusivity and sensitivity, not just in policies but in practice.

India’s shift to coal amid declining hydro generation

Published

India has been grappling with a significant challenge in its energy sector as hydroelectric power generation has experienced a sharp decline.

This shift in the energy landscape has forced the nation to increasingly turn to coal as an alternative source of power.

The dwindling water resources and changing weather patterns have led to a decrease in hydro generation, posing a pressing dilemma for the country’s energy sustainability.

With India’s growing population and expanding industries, a steady and reliable power supply is crucial.

However, the drop in hydroelectric power output due to factors like reduced rainfall and glacial melting has strained the nation’s electricity grid.

As a result, coal-fired power plants have become a more prevalent choice to bridge the energy gap, despite concerns about environmental impact and carbon emissions.
