-White House memo says Democrats' plan could spend $200B on healthcare for illegal immigrants

A 20-point peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump this week could finally conclude the nearly two-year war in the Gaza Strip and see the return of the 46 hostages still held by Hamas. But it could also mean an end to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s time in the Israeli government's top job. 

Hamas still needs to agree to the plan that Netanyahu accepted on Monday, which would ultimately end Israel’s military operation, disarm Hamas and pave the way for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip under a Palestinian governing body overseen by an international coalition headed by Trump…Read more

Jane Goodall, pioneer who discovered chimpanzees use tools, dead at 91 during U.S. tour

Jane Goodall, the trailblazing primatologist who taught the world about chimpanzees and their striking similarities to humans, has died at the age of 91.

Her death was announced by her foundation, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), on Wednesday. 

According to the organization, Goodall passed away earlier that morning "due to natural causes."

"She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States," the statement said.

The institute added, "Dr. Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world."

Goodall's fascination with primates began at an early age. Remarkably, she earned a PhD in ethology from the University of Cambridge in the mid-1960s, one of few students admitted without holding a prior bachelor's degree.

In 1960, she discovered that chimpanzees can use and make tools, which the JGI called "one of the greatest achievements of twentieth-century scholarship." She founded her institute, which has become a prominent conservation NGO, in 1977.

"She took an unorthodox approach in her field research, immersing herself in their habitat and their lives to experience their complex society as a neighbor rather than a distant observer and coming to understand them not only as a species, but also as individuals with emotions and long-term bonds," the institute noted.

In 1991, she founded the Roots & Shoots program, a youth movement focused on conservation and humanitarianism. 

Most recently, Goodall was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former President Joe Biden at the beginning of 2025.

Her death led to an outpouring of grief on social media. In one post, the San Antonio Zoo wrote that it was "devastated" by the news.

"She spent her life advocating for chimpanzees and all wildlife," the zoo's post read. "Her goal was to help people understand the true nature of animals and that each individual animal is important. While her work, words and passion will live on, we send our thoughts and prayers to her family, friends and colleagues."

The United Nations also honored Goodall in a message on X.

Today, the UN family mourns the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall," the UN's post read. "The scientist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature."
