  Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, has implemented a new policy that requires users to identify their pronouns. LGBTQ groups say that this policy could lead to bullying and harassment. In a tweet, Musk said that the new policy is "necessary to make Twitter a more inclusive platform."

"This policy is a dangerous and harmful step backwards for transgender and non-binary people," said Alphonso David, the president of the Human Rights Campaign. "It will make it easier for people to target and harass us, and it will make it harder for us to feel safe and welcome on Twitter." Twitter has not yet responded to the concerns raised by LGBTQ groups.

Egypt Shark Attack.

  A Russian tourist was killed in a shark attack near a beach in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada on Thursday, June 8, 2023. The man, who was in his late 20s, was swimming near the Sahl Hasheesh resort when he was attacked by a shark. He was taken to a local hospital, but he died from his injuries. This is the third shark attack in Egypt in the past year. In July 2022, a 68-year-old Austrian woman was killed in a shark attack off the coast of Hurghada, and in October 2022, a Romanian tourist was injured in a shark attack off the coast of Sahl Hasheesh. Shark attacks are rare in the Red Sea, but they do happen. The Red Sea is home to a variety of sharks, including tiger sharks, bull sharks, and mako sharks. These sharks are not typically aggressive towards humans, but they can be if they feel threatened. The Egyptian government has closed off a 60-kilometer (37-mile) stretch of coastline near Hurghada in the wake of the attack. The closure is expected to last for at least a week.

Inflation around the globe.

Image
  Inflation is a general increase in prices and a decline in the purchasing power of money. When inflation rises, it means that each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services. Inflation can be caused by a number of factors, including: Increased demand: When there is more demand for goods and services than there is supply, prices can rise. This can happen when the economy is growing rapidly, or when there is a sudden increase in demand for a particular good or service. Increased costs of production: When the cost of producing goods and services rises, businesses may pass those costs on to consumers in the form of higher prices. This can happen when there is a shortage of raw materials, or when wages rise. Government policies: Governments can also cause inflation by printing too much money.
