32-year-old woman attacked by a polar bear after she jumps into their enclosure at the Berlin zoo

If you have visited a zoo, which is very likely you have, you have certainly noticed all the signs which remind visitors not to feed animals and not get close to them. This is done for both the sake of the people and the animals.

Sadly, accidents happen, and sometimes people put themselves in dangerous situations on purpose which is sadly the case with a teacher who was left in despair after she failed finding a job for some time.

Namely, while at the Berlin Zoo, the woman jumped inside the enclosure of the polar bears. In order to do so, she had to climb over a fence, a line of hedges, and a wall. What’s most, she jumped inside the caged area while the bears were being fed.

As expected, a polar bear that spotted her was quick to attack her, leaving her with serious injuries and wounds from the strong bites she sustained.

Luckily, one of the employees at the Zoo was able to scare the bear off and save Mandy.

She was severely injured on her arm, her leg, and her back.

Witnesses, including families with young children, were horrified by the unfolding scene, convinced they were seconds away from witnessing a tragic mauling.

Following the incident, reports emerged highlighting the woman’s recent personal challenges, including unemployment and a breakup, which likely contributed to her unorthodox behavior. A number of people who saw videos of the incident dubbed her behavior a cry for help. What’s more, the event ignited conversations about whether zoos are secure enough and what drives a person to risk their life this way. Still, Berlin Zoo officials said they wouldn’t change security policies because those who are determined will always find a breach.

Donald Trump accuses Beyoncé and Oprah of accepting ‘illegal’ political payments

In a lengthy Truth Social post, president Donald Trump accused pop star Beyoncé, among other celebrities, of receiving $11 million to endorse Harris’ presidential bid — an act he claimed had broken campaign finance regulations.

He stated that the singer was paid “to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off” without actually providing any musical performance, Newsweek reports.

He went on to accuse Oprah Winfrey of doing the same, alleging she was paid $3 million to publicly support Harris. According to the president himself, “very low-rated TV ‘anchor'” Al Sharpton received $600,000 from the Harris campaign.

His post on the social media site read, “I’m looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for ‘expenses,’ to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV “anchor,” Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING!

“These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them.

“All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted!”

Trump didn’t provide any proof for the large sums he shared in his post.

In fact, Harris rejected the rumors that the Cowboy Carter songstress was paid $10 million for being part of her campaign — an amount that circulated on the social media after she and Beyoncé appeared together in October 2024. In fact, at the October campaign rally for then-Vice President Kamala Harris, Beyoncé said, “I’m not here as a celebrity. I’m not here as a politician. I’m here as a mother—a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided.”

While the Federal Election Commission had no record of an $11 million payment to Beyoncé from Harris’ presidential campaign, the records do show a $165,000 payment to Parkwood Entertainment, the media company Beyoncé founded in 2008.

According to Deadline, Rev. Sharpton’s National Action Network received $500,000 and Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions received $1 million for planning a livestreamed event in Michigan.

At this point, the White House hasn’t confirmed whether they would be pursuing any legal actions against Harris’ campaign.

Volcano erupts amid chaos after massive 8.8 earthquake hits Russia’s Far East

Hours after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake shook the Pacific on Wednesday, prompting tsunami waves, Russia’s Klyuchevskoy volcano has erupted on the Kamchatka peninsula.

Klyuchevskoy, situated about 450 kilometers (280 miles) north of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital of the region, has erupted multiple times in recent years.

The Russian Academy of Sciences’ United Geophysical Service confirmed the eruption, writing on Telegram: “A descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope. Powerful glow above the volcano, explosions.”

Tsunami waves made landfall on Hawaii’s Oahu island, sparking panic as beachgoers rushed to evacuate. Officials urged those residing at coastal and low-lying zones to seek shelter on higher ground or at least on the upper floors of sturdy buildings. Sirens sounded across Hawaii at 10 minutes past the hour, every hour, for three hours before the tsunami was expected to hit, as part of a statewide alert system.

A tsunami warning was also in place along the West Coast, including California, Oregon, Washington, and Canada’s British Columbia.

Also, warnings were issued for Japan and parts of Russia.

Later on, evacuation orders were lifted for the Big Island and Oahu, Hawaii’s most populous island, though the state remained under a tsunami advisory.

Chile, however, has escalated its warning to the highest level for the majority of its Pacific coast.

“The impact of the tsunami could last for hours or perhaps more than a day,” said Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator with the National Tsunami Warning Center in Alaska.

“A tsunami is not just one wave,” he said. “It’s a series of powerful waves over a long period of time. Tsunamis cross the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour — as fast as a jet airplane — in deep water. But when they get close to the shore, they slow down and start to pile up. And that’s where that inundation problem becomes a little bit more possible there.”

Danila Chebrov, director of the Kamchatka Branch of the Geophysical Service, said on Telegram: “Aftershocks are currently ongoing. Their intensity will remain fairly high. However, stronger tremors are not expected in the near future.”

No causalities or major damage were reported.

The moment that gave fatherhood new meaning

Fatherhood isn’t about perfection or grand gestures, but about being there when it matters most. At its core, to be a father means to stand by your children, listen to them, support them, and guide them every step of the way. The truth is that fatherhood is defined by this consistent commitment, not by titles or words.

A touching story from a man who married a woman with a 3-year-old daughter is a true definition of love beyond genetics.

The little girl was shy at first, hiding behind her mom and looking at him with her beautiful big eyes. From the moment he entered her life, the man started loving her as though she was his own. He never tried to take anyone’s place, all he did was be kind and present, hoping to gain her trust one day. And then it happened. When she turned four, she started calling him daddy. It first happened one evening when she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck after a bedtime story and whispered, “Goodnight, Daddy.” It was a night he’d never forget.

From that moment on, she started calling him daddy, and it felt as though it had always been that way.

Now, at 13, she has grown into a beautiful lady, and he was there for her every step of the way. He witnessed her first bike ride, her first school performance, every milestone she has achieved and every obstacle she had to overcome. And her biological father? He slips in and out of her life like a passing shadow. A visit here, a message there. And every visit ends up with another disappointment.

Last night, the girl went to visit her biological dad, and then, out of the blue, the man received a message from her saying, “Can you come get me?” He didn’t ask any question, just got in the car and went to pick her up and take her home.

The girl was sad, disappointed, and unwilling to speak.

“Can we just go home, Dad?” The man just nodded.

Her calling him dad didn’t come from a habit she picked up along the way, but she meant it, and he could feel that.

This dad knew he wasn’t there just to fill in a role. He was always present, always there for her, he was the one who was there to stay.

He didn’t need any proof that she loved him, her “dad” was the greatest proof there was.

Trump fires back with blunt 6-word statement after Epstein photos resurface

That President Donald trump and disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein were friends in the past is a well-known fact, but recently resurfaced photos of the two ‘buddies’ offer further insight into their relationship.

During the presidential campaign, Trump promised the public he would release files related to convicted sex offender Epstein, who killed himself while awaiting trial in federal prison, if he takes office for the second time. So, when Trump indeed returned to the White House for his second presidential term, he fulfilled his promise, but only partially.

Jeffrey Epstein/ New York State Sex Offender Registry

Namely, Attorney General Pamela Bondi released what was described as the ‘first phase’ of declassified Epstein files in February 2025, but later on, the Department of Justice claimed there was ‘no basis’ to release further files, with the FBI claiming there was no ‘client list’ or any indications that Epstein used such client list to blackmail prominent individuals.

This decision led to speculations that Trump could be ‘hiding’ details about the late financial advisor.

NBC News

Now, photos from Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples in 1993 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City emerged, showing Epstein being in attendance. Another photo, taken in 1999, show Trump and Epstein standing together and chatting during a Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York.

Dafydd Jones, the photographer who covered Trump’s wedding to Maples, told CNN he ‘must have recognized’ Epstein at the event, having previously photographed him and Trump together at the Harley Davidson Café in New York in October 1993.

“I wish now I took more of him with Trump,” Jones said in an interview with the CNN. “I had the job of photographing the Trump wedding, so I stood with the press and photographed him. The image you have is from the contact sheet — the negatives were lost.”

The photos, released by CNN, added fuel to the fire and provoked immediate reaction from the president.

CNN contacted Trump for comment, but he accused them of ‘fake news’ and responded saying, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” before cutting the call short.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement later in the day, writing, “These are nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events to disgustingly infer something nefarious.

“The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.”

Trump and Epstein had also been photographed together on several occasions from the 80’s to the mid 2000’s.

Experts claim mankind will die in world-ending ‘cosmic hell’ revealing the exact time the horrific event will occur

The question of whether and how the world will end has been discussed over and over again. There have been many predictions over the years, some of which inspired iconic Hollywood movies worth watching. This time, scientists came with yet another prediction, and they are even stating the timing when the world may end.

While our lovely planet came into existence with a big bang, it seems it could end with some scientists describe as a “big crunch,” or a condition in which the universe would start expanding and everything it contains will be pulled back together.

This means that the world will collapse in on itself in what is dubbed “cosmic hell.”

Scientists from Cornell University working on a recent study calculated exactly when the “Big Crunch” could begin, and no, it’s not happening any time soon. In fact, they believe the end of the world may happen in 19.5 billion years. According to Henry Tye, a lead at the institution, the process may begin in 11 billion years time, and it will take 8.5 billion years more for it to complete.

Dr Ethan Yu–Cheng, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, explained, “It is just like throwing a basketball vertically upwards in daily life. The negative cosmological constant acts like the Earth’s gravity, which pulls the basketball downward.

“The basketball will de–accelerate until reaching the maximum height and start to fall.”

Dr Hoang Nhan Luu, a researcher at the Donostia International Physics Center told Mail Online: “Intelligent civilizations at the scales of solar systems or even galactic scales would not notice any obvious phenomenon because these changes happen at much larger cosmological scales.

“Civilisations like us typically exist on time scales of hundreds to thousands of years while the changes happen on billion–year time scales, so we wouldn’t notice any obvious day–to–day phenomenon until the very last moment.”

Asked whether humans could survive this event, Tye answered, “To survive, human beings have to move to the edge of our solar system or beyond. We have a few billion years’ time to prepare for that trip.”

Couple with dwarfism have three children against all odds

I guess it is in the humans’ nature to get curious about other people’s lives and ask a bunch of questions regarding their privacy. It’s not that all people are like this, but the fact is that majority tend to stick their noses in other people’s business. Take new married couples for example. The moment they tie the knot, those around them want to know when they are having a baby. Once they become parents, everyone is eager to learn when and if a second one is on the way.

In the case of Charli Worgan and her husband Cullen from Australia, both with different forms of dwarfism, a lot of people showed their concerns of why they made the decision to have babies.

This couple with dwarfism face plenty of criticism because they are parents. Crazy, isn’t it?

When Charlie gave birth to their first daughter, she shared the news on her Instagram account. Little did she know, however, that her life and her privacy would make so many people mad for something that’s not their business in the first place.

When she got pregnant with their third child, Charlie took to Instagram to share the struggles and all the procedures she had to go through, such as painful genetic testing. With each of the pregnancies, the babies were likely to inherit one or another form of dwarfism. They, however, could be of average height, or even inherit both their mom’s and dad’s form of dwarfism, which would be fatal, according to doctors.

“However when most at 12 weeks are celebrating the joy of being able to announce pregnancy, I was lining up for Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS – similar to an Amniocentesis) – that’s a massive needle through my abdomen to take a sample of placenta that carries a 2% rate of miscarriage, in order to test the genetic makeup of my baby.”

Daughters Tully and Tilba both have dwarfism, so the parents wanted to find out whether their third bundle of joy would have it too. In case he had both forms, the pregnancy had to be terminated. “If I can bring this little one into the world come March 2021, or if his or her journey finishes here.”

Luckily, baby Rip, who came into the world in February, is thriving just like his big sisters.

“I’ve copped criticism for choosing to have babies with these odds and that’s a whole conversation in itself, however by sharing this tiny piece of the puzzle those who doubt can see that bringing a child into this world with my odds is no simple decision and it’s all about being kind,” Charlie wrote.

The happy mom added: “I’m tired but I’m feeling ever so grateful and lucky. There’s no ‘correct’ way to do motherhood, but I’m sure as anything there’s no ‘wrong’ way either.”

This couple with dwarfism who beat all odds say they are very happy for this beautiful family of five

We wish them only the best life can bring.

During the custody battle, my son played something on his phone – and everyone went silent

During a family court case about a custody battle, eight-year-old Zaden Carter changed the course of his and his mother’s lives with a single audio recording.

Sarah Martinez-Carter, a respected professional in pediatric healthcare research, never thought her life would take a devastating turn when she married the wrong person. Her ex-husband, Damian Carter, a medical facility executive known for his philanthropic work, wasn’t the man he presented himself in front of the world. On the contrary, he was aggressive and abusive, and made Sarah and Zaden’s lives a living hell.

Following their divorce, Sarah was granted primary custody, but her concerns of her son’s well-being grew more and more with each father-son visit.

That day at the court, Damian declared that his son wanted to live with him, and Sarah knew that wasn’t true. She was the only one who was aware of the withdrawal, the nightmares, and the vague fears her son experienced when he was around his father, but it was something she couldn’t prove in court easily, not with the influence and the connections Damien had all around the city.

“Mr. Carter, you’re asking for a change in custody. You’ve told this court your son has expressed a desire to live with you. Is that correct?” Damian nodded confidently. “Yes, Your Honor. Zaden told me he’s not comfortable in his current living situation. He wants to live with me full-time.”

Sarah’s stomach turned to ice. She kept looking at Zaden, whose tiny hands were folded tightly in his lap.

“Zaden,” said gently, “is that true, son? Do you want to live with your father?”

At that moment, everything stopped. “Please, don’t make him choose in front of this monster,” Sarah thought to herself, although she felt the urge to scream.

Zaden stood up, and Sarah was afraid of the words that were about to come out of his mouth. However, it felt like Zaden didn’t feel scared from his father. Bravely, he approached the judge and asked him if he could play the audio recording he took the previous night.

Damien’s lawyer objected immediately, but the judge let Zaden have his say.

The recording, played aloud in court, revealed Damian’s manipulation. He forced Zaden to say he wanted to live with him, threatened that bad things would happen if he didn’t comply, and falsely claimed that Sarah was harming her son. The courtroom fell silent as the recording painted a clear picture of psychological abuse.

Judge Morrison, known for his child-focused approach, granted Sarah a full custody of Zaden and ordered Damien to complete anger management, parenting classes, and a psychological evaluation before the court would revisit his visitation rights.

This outcome not only changed Sarah and Zaden’s lives, but also became a landmark example of how technology can empower children in legal proceedings.
