A demonstrator holds a placard bearing the portrait of the political detainee Issam Chebbi as another chants slogans on a megaphone during a protest organized by the National Salvation Front (NSF), a political coalition of various political parties including the Islamist party Ennahda, and the Tunisian Network for Freedoms and Rights. Dozens of protesters from the main political parties opposed to Tunisian President Kais Saied's policies gather in front of the court of First Instance in Tunis, Tunisia, on March 4, 2025, in support of the political detainees in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case in the first remote court hearing. Demonstrators and detainees' families demand a public trial and reject the remote trial. They also call for the release of the detainees and accuse Tunisia's President of using the judiciary to prosecute those who reject his policies and the exceptional measures he imposes on July 25, 2021. Since February 2023, Tunisia sees a wave of arrests, including media figures, activists, judges, business people, and politicians, including Ennahda party leader Rached Ghannouchi, who has been imprisoned since April 2023.

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is classified as a fruit--more specifically, a berry--due to its botanical characteristics, although it is commonly used as a vegetable in culinary contexts. It is edible, shiny, and smooth. In January 2024, Japanese scientists Yuri Aratani and Takuya Uemura, molecular biologists at Saitama University, along with their colleagues, recorded real-time footage of plants communicating with each other for the first time. To capture this communication, the team used leaves cut from tomato plants and Arabidopsis thaliana. The footage revealed that plants release airborne compounds, akin to scents, which form a fine mist serving as a medium for communication. The researchers believe the plants use this mechanism to warn each other of imminent threats. For instance, the video demonstrated that when a healthy plant detects danger, it produces calcium through its leaves. Tomatoes are a rich source of nutrients and phytochemicals, including lycopene, vitamin C, and other antioxidants. They also contain phenolic compounds such as hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonoids, and chlorogenic acid. Several studies suggest that tomatoes may offer health benefits, including potential anticancer properties.

Elephant caretaker doing exercises on a disabled elephant named ''Namal'' on August 12, 2023, in Elephant Transit Home, Udawalawa, Sri Lanka. Elephant Namal was found in the Ampara Jungles in 2012, when he was just 1 year old. Wildlife officials found him exhausted and dying after he was caught in a hunter's snare and transported him to the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home. Namal, named after ''Namal Garden'', the area where he was found, is a fun-loving elephant who enjoys being around people. The elephant's spine is getting weaker as he does not have the support required from his left back leg to carry his increasing body weight. Today, with the assistance and support of several key personnel, including those trained in Australia, a prosthetic leg will be manufactured and fitted for the back leg of an elephant for the first time in recorded history. Namal will be the first known instance where an elephant receives a prosthetic back leg.
