Since the declaration of a partial mobilisation to fight in Ukraine, Russia's neighbouring countries have been witnessing an influx of thousands of Russian men to escape the situation of fighting in the war.

Both Georgia and Kazakhstan reported on Tuesday that tens of thousands of Russians had fled into their countries.

The Almaty government currently has no plans to close its borders, despite reports that Kazakhstan is struggling to provide shelter to tens of thousands of Russians. However, the president earlier that day said that his country would provide "care and safety" to the Russians. To enter Kazakhstan, Russians do not need any visas, only Russian identity documents, Reuters reported.&nbsp;

The nation, which has a sizable ethnic Russian population, also has widespread use of the Russian language. However, after the arrival of such unexpected numbers of Russians, the country has felt a strain.

The recent release of the US's famous podcast 'Serial' episode&nbsp;has created a whole new debate amongst experts about whether the podcast helps in securing justice or not and also recreated obsession trend for true crime series.

<div>
A huge crowd on Monday (September 19) greeted Adnan Syed, who was allegedly given a life sentence for murdering his ex-girlfriend in 1999, on his release&nbsp;after 22 years.

Adnan's case came to attention in 2014, after Sarah Koeing, an American journalist, started her investigation of the case. However, Sarah never concluded whether Adnan was 'innocent.'

The podcast initially came forward with millions of downloads. This podcast also shared several other podcasts focusing on unsolved murders, kidnappings and all sorts of crimes that could happen.

Another crime case under attention other than Adnan's is that of Curtis Flower, a black man who was tried six times for a quadruple&nbsp;murder. In this case, Flower has also denied committing this.

By participation, people can discuss online sleuthing on various social media groups, but this can also lead to chaos&nbsp;of misleading information, interference in ongoing investigations or even an end to victims' privacy.

In the case of Adnan Syed, Hai Min Lee, his ex-girlfriend, was murdered in 1999. According to prosecutors, Syed killed his girlfriend after she broke up with him, leaving him humiliated. Lee's family faced problems as the case was discussed widely amongst most everyone whether her family liked it or not.

Lee's brother, in tears in a statement in room court, said, "This is not a podcast for me. It's real life," AFP reported.

Morning news brief: Joe Biden warns Xi Jinping, 27 dead in China in bus crash, and more

Recently, a Canadian family went viral as it was on a world tour to create memories before three of their four children would eventually lose their eyesight.

Canadian parents Edith Lemay and Sebastian Pelletier first noticed that their eldest daughter Mia had vision issues when she was three years old. Mia was later diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic disorder that results in a loss of eyesight over time.

After a few years in 2019, the couple observed similar symptoms in their two boys, Laurent, 5, and Colin, 7. However, their second son cleared all the tests.

The mother said that since there is no cure for the illness or to halt the spread of the disorder, they cannot do anything for it. The parents predict that children will completely lose their visions by the time they reach midlife.

Lemay said&nbsp;that they could do just one thing for Mia and the other kids for them to create "visual memories," as the specialist recommended. The mother further said that instead of showing her an elephant in a book, they would take the children to actually see a real elephant.

She and her husband quickly started planning to spend a year touring the world with their children. The couple travelled frequently before becoming parents. Lemay says that there are good things to do at home, but nothing beats travelling.

The six-person family had a detailed trip, including visiting China and travelling to Russia by land, which was repeatedly postponed due to Covid travel restrictions. They left for Montreal in March 2022 without any plan. They started their journey in Namibia, where they were able to see elephants, zebras, and giraffes.
