A new UNICEF report states that in 2025, obesity has surpassed being underweight as the leading form of malnutrition for children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 globally.

This historic shift reflects a stark trend, with obesity rates more than doubling since 2000 to affect 188 million young people. UNICEF blames the crisis on aggressive marketing and the availability of cheap, ultra-processed foods, calling it a "societal failure."

While historically concentrated in wealthier nations, the problem is growing rapidly in lower-income countries. UNICEF urges governments to implement binding measures like advertising restrictions and taxes on unhealthy foods and drinks.

Russian drones breached Polish airspace, prompting a military response from NATO members. Poland shot down at least four drones and invoked the alliance's Article 4 for emergency consultations.

While Polish and other EU officials believe the act was a deliberate provocation, NATO's leadership is awaiting an investigation. Russia denied intent, stating its drones were not intended for Poland and had been jammed, causing them to go off course.

Defense experts suggest the incident was a Russian test of NATO's reaction capabilities. Regardless of intent, Moscow has now gained valuable intelligence on the alliance's air defense procedures and response protocols.
