The United States has decided to boycott the UN commemoration of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who died in a helicopter crash, Reuters reports, citing a source in the Biden administration
Earlier, the United States had expressed official condolences for Raisi's passing.
The 193-member UN General Assembly typically convenes to honor any world leader who was a sitting head of state at the time of their death. The commemoration usually includes speeches about the leader's legacy.
"We will not be attending this event in any capacity," a U.S. official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
"The United Nations should stand in solidarity with the people of Iran, rather than commemorate the memory of their decades-long oppressor. Raisi was implicated in numerous egregious human rights violations, including the extrajudicial killings of thousands of political prisoners in 1988," the source elaborated.

The EU will introduce new standards for plastic bottles in July
According to a new EU directive, companies can only sell disposable plastic products with caps and lids, such as beverage bottles, if the caps and lids remain attached to the containers during use, IFLScience reports.
This initiative is part of a broader plan to reduce plastic waste. The EU notes that plastic caps and lids for beverage containers are among the most common single-use plastic items found on beaches within the Union.
Since we often lose lids, and they don’t just disappear, it is hoped that by keeping the cap attached to the bottle, both parts will eventually be recycled rather than polluting the environment.

In Poland, drying clothes on balconies can lead to fines
Despite its practicality, drying clothes on balconies may result in a fine of 500 zlotys.
A ban on drying clothes in this manner has been implemented in apartment buildings across Poland. The aim is to enhance the aesthetics of urban environments and minimize disputes among residents arising from drying laundry in communal areas.
Typically, hanging laundry beyond the balcony's balustrade or using ropes attached to the balcony or building wall is prohibited. Moreover, drying excessively wet clothes that could potentially cause water damage to lower floor balconies or common areas may also be restricted. Those found causing such disturbances may face fines if water from wet clothes inundates balustrades, corridors, or other communal spaces.

⚡️The Colombian Congress has voted to prohibit bullfighting in the country
Now, the new legislation awaits the signature of President Gustavo Petro, a longstanding opponent of the sport.
The bill outlines a phased ban on bullfighting over three years, with the prohibition set to be fully implemented by 2028.
While bullfighting remains legal in several countries, including Spain, France, Portugal, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico, its popularity has waned over the years. Once a televised spectacle, the tradition has faced increasing criticism, with many condemning the spectacle of animal suffering for entertainment.
In Colombia, where bullfighting has been a part of the cultural landscape since colonial times, fewer than two dozen municipalities still host such events. However, the annual bullfight in the city of Manizales continues to draw tens of thousands of spectators.
Animal rights activists have hailed the ban as a significant victory for organizations dedicated to promoting societal change and condemning violence against animals.
