Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

okay now that i've given you what you asked for and its been subsequently downvoted, maybe you'd like to share some of your wonderful and trustworthy sources?
edit: lol, second time some weirdo has gone through my entire comment history and downvoted everything i've posted in the last days. stay classy!
Uh, no. I literally just read your reply right now. But you can be confidently wrong about all that.
i said 'some weirdo' sorry if you feel that i'm implicating you. still waiting on your sources though.
That can absolutely be me, but you were wrong, so by circumstance doesn't apply this time. The intent was there nonetheless.
And I'm still waiting on yours.
Considering the type of shit you say? Well deserved.
i may disagree with you but i don't think you deserve malicious bad faith actors attempting to smear and undermine you for your beliefs... i offer dialogue, i answer questions i'm asked, i try to maintain a semblance of approachability-- i am met with insults and brigading. the type of shit i say is not in a vacuum, i don't suppose you read any of the vitriol i am responding to when i lose my better self to slap back here and there.
Well your account is only 3 weeks old, so surely can't have too many posts
306comments / 21days... about 14.5 comments per day- the bulk of them come from entrenched arguments and my addiction to receiving even more downvotes and baseless insults.
