Torchia told local television that while “we take (the decree) with a bit of irony,” it is intended to highlight the town’s inadequate access to healthcare. “This is not just a provocation, the ordinance is a cry for help, a way to shine a spotlight on an unacceptable situation,” Torchia told local news outlet Corriere della Calabria. The ordinance will stay in effect until the town’s public health center is open regularly, the mayor said. Over 75% of Calabria towns – roughly 320 – currently had fewer than 5,000 residents in 2021, sparking fears that some communities could die out completely without regeneration. “I am a drop in the ocean,” Torchia told local broadcaster LaC News24.

CNN —A Spanish woman was gored to death by an elephant while bathing the animal at a sanctuary in southern Thailand on Friday, according to local police. Blanca Ojanguren Garcia, 22, and her boyfriend were giving a bath to an elephant at Koh Yao Elephant Care center when the animal seemed to “panic” and pierced her with its tusk, police told CNN. Bathing elephants at animal sanctuaries is a popular activity for tourists in Thailand, which is home to both wild and domesticated populations. CNN has reached out to the elephant care center and Spain’s embassy in Thailand for comment. Experts estimate the wild elephant population in Thailand has dwindled to 3,000-4,000, a decline from more than 100,000 at the beginning of the 20th century.

Less than 0.1% of adolescents with private insurance in the United States are transgender or gender-diverse and are prescribed puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones, according to the findings published in JAMA Pediatrics. Gender-affirming hormones are typically prescribed to replace hormones that a person’s body naturally makes, but that do not align with their gender identity. Most major medical organizations in the U.S. support gender-affirming care for minors. The court is weighing the constitutionality of a state law in Tennessee that prohibits gender-affirming care for minors, and the justices appeared to lean toward upholding the law. The indefinite ban came several months after an independent study commissioned by England’s National Health Service concluded medical evidence around transition-related care for minors as “remarkably weak.”

Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning would consider becoming a minority owner of his old team if the Mara family is willing to sell him a stake. The Mara family has owned the Giants since the team's founding in 1925. Many NFL teams have begun considering the sale of small, minority stakes after the league voted to allow private equity investment for up to 10% of each franchise in August. Former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and his business partner Tom Wagner acquired a 10% stake in the Las Vegas Raiders in October. The Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles have also sold minority stakes to wealthy individuals in recent months.

CNN —Russia may be close to sharing advanced satellite technology with North Korea after the isolated nation supplied troops to help bolster Moscow’s war in Ukraine, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Monday. The US has repeatedly expressed concern over the growing alliance between Pyongyang and Moscow since Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a landmark defense pact in June last year. North Korean troops have also joined the fight on Russia’s side according to Ukrainian and Western intelligence assessments. Speaking on Monday, Blinken said more than 1,000 North Korean forces were killed or wounded in Kursk in the last week of December, an estimate also shared by the White House in late December. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed 3,800 North Korean troops have been killed or wounded while fighting for Russia.

☆ Why being great this year in the NFL may not be good enough

It’s the fact that being great may not be good enough this year in the NFL. Indeed, having so many teams with at least 13 wins through 16 games (and 17 weeks) is history making. Perhaps more amazing is that the Bills’ 13 wins aren’t even close to being the most in the league. Three of the teams with 13+ wins – the Chiefs, Lions and Vikings – have 14 or 15 wins. The Bills have actually beaten more really good teams than most other NFL contenders.

An X post about a Southwest passenger's kitten was viewed more than 20 million times. Some replied with messages of support but others were less sympathetic about flying with pets. An airline passenger's tale about a kitten that pooped in its carrier sparked a debate about bringing pets on flights. She said she was on a Southwest Airlines flight when her seven-month-old cat, Oni, got scared during a rough landing and had "an accident." An estimated two million pets are taken on commercial flights annually in the US, according to a 2023 research paper published in the academic journal Animals.

CNN —Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss a case accusing him of raping a then-13-year-old girl in 2000 have been denied by a judge, who also granted the “Jane Doe” accuser the ability to proceed anonymously, despite efforts from the rap mogul’s legal team to have her reveal her identity publicly. In an order filed on Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres penned a scathing decision, condemning Carter’s lawyer’s aggressive tactics in moving to dismiss the case. Doe is represented by Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who has said he is representing at least 120 accusers of Combs. Carter’s attorney, Alex Spiro, has taken aim at Buzbee, accusing him of extorting his famous client. Speaking to reporters earlier this month, Carter’s attorney called Doe’s case “all a fantasy” and said, “We expect the case to be dismissed.
