 Germany and Austria to tap oil reserves after 400 million barrels requested  Germany and Austria announced they are releasing portions of their oil reserves in response to an International Energy Agency request for member nations to collectively release 400 million barrels to help ease rising energy prices linked to the Iran conflict.

Member countries currently hold over 1.2 billion barrels of public emergency oil stocks, along with an additional 600 million barrels of industry stocks maintained under government requirements. The release comes amid heightened tensions in the Persian Gulf, where Iran has targeted commercial ships and disrupted shipping throug...

 British lawmakers block social media ban for children under 16 British MPs have rejected proposals to ban children under 16 from using social media, defeating an amendment to the children’s wellbeing and schools bill by a 307-173 vote. The measure had been added by the House of Lords to legislation originally passed in January. The proposed ban was supported by Conservative peers, who argued that parents face an “impossible position” in protecting children from online harm. Conservatives described the situation as an “emergency,” noting surveys showing that 40% of children are exposed to explicit content on smartphones during school hours. Many Labour MPs refused to back the government’s attempt to defeat the amendment, with more than 100 abstaining. During the debate, MP Sadak Al-Hassan compared social media to addictive drugs, saying that substances with similar effects would be heavily regulated or made illegal. Children’s advocacy groups warned that a ban could push young user...

Donald Trump Jr. still fuming over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl lyrics and the internet is not having it Donald Trump Jr. sparked controversy on February 8 when he criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show on social media.  While the performance was widely praised for blending Puerto Rican culture with mainstream entertainment, Trump Jr. objected to the lyrics of Safaera, citing them as evidence against claims that the show reflected “wholesome family values.”  He referenced a Washington Post article that had praised the performance, accusing the outlet of being out of touch.  Critics quickly pointed out that the explicit lyrics he highlighted were not actually performed during the halftime show, as those lines belong to Ñengo Flow in the studio version.
