Happy New Year 2023: Welcome the year with these wishes, messages, greeting, quotes and images

<p>A Ukraine-born six-month-old black panther has found a new home in a faraway land, in France. Kiara, the black panther was born in a war-torn country and was also a victim of exotic animal trafficking but has now found a new and much safer dwelling at a wildlife refuge in France.&nbsp;Veterinarian Jean-Christophe Gerard told AFP, that Kiara "escaped a tragic path in life" and now reached safely to France. The panther with shining black fur and striking green eyes was just a few weeks old when the "private individual" who illegally owned her fled under bombing and abandoned the panther cub, Gerard told.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Soon after, the Wild Animal Rescue Centre in Kyiv took custody of Kiara and contacted the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) which helped her get out of Ukraine and into a zoo in western Poland.</p>

<p>Kiara spent a few weeks at the zoo receiving care and recovering from her long journey. The panther was later taken to Tonga Terre d'Accueil, a shelter for rescued or abandoned wild animals within France's Saint-Martin-la-Plaine Zoo. Kiara will be cared for by a team that specialises in helping "exploited and abused" wild animals while she searches for a permanent new home.</p>

<p>Kiara spends most of her time in her own enclosure and likes to eat alone. The veterinarians are also not trying to mix her up with other animals for now, and giving her time and space to adapt to her new home and surroundings.&nbsp;"She’s been through a lot of changes in the people who take care of her, and this is all very traumatic for animals", Gerard said.</p>

Wild animals born in Europe are still wild, with the accompanying instincts, he said. They need time to settle down and get used to their caretakers and new environment. Still, Gerard occasionally manages to play with Kiara through the barrier of her enclosure. "After this adjustment period, we will introduce her to another little panther so they can grow up and play together, and live their panther lives", Gerard said.</p>

<p>A professor of Kabul University tore up his diplomas on live television, saying that if his mother and sister cannot study, he cannot accept the education either. The professor said that he did not need the diplomas since Afghanistan was "no place for an education".&nbsp;</p>

"You all are informed to immediately implement the mentioned order of suspending the education of females until further notice," minister for higher education Neda Mohammad Nadeem said in a letter to all government and private universities in Afghanistan. WION spoke to Afghan women as the Taliban took away their right to education campus after campus. From Jalalabad to Kabul, Afghan women shared what they said was the 'worst moment' of their lives. "There was never a time as helpless as this," a teacher from Jalalabad told WION. WATCH | UNSC denounces restrictions on Afghan women; UN calls for equal participation of women × The UN deputy humanitarian coordinator in Afghanistan Fran Equiza, in a meeting with the acting minister of public health Qalandar Ibad, also called for "the Taliban ban on women working for NGOs and international NGOs to be lifted in its entirety." She added that the "ban will impact millions of the most vulnerable Afghans." The US secretary of state Antony Blinken in a tweet said that "this decision could be devastating for the Afghan people, women are central to humanitarian operations around the world." US special representative for Afghanistan Thomas West said: "The Taliban’s decree barring women from working to deliver humanitarian aid is profoundly irresponsible. It poses mortal risks to millions who depend on life-saving assistance." WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

'If my mother and sisters can't study': Afghan professor tears down diplomas on live TV

<p>It is indeed&nbsp;a miracle that a five-year-old girl and her two little brothers survived a car accident that killed both their parents in Western Australia on early Christmas Day.&nbsp;Before being found by the relatives, trapped in an upturned Rangerover, the three kids were forced to wait for nearly 50 hours.</p>

<p>The UAE is making efforts to make private jobs and business easier for its citizens.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The government has urged private firms to hire local talents to reach at least 10 per cent by the end of 2026. Companies that fail to recruit at least two per cent of nationals by next month will face a fine, AFP reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Not just this, the UAE has also announced that it will implement a year-long paid leave for citizens working in the public sector to start their own businesses. The measure is expected to begin from January 2, 2023. The individuals will be paid half of their salaries for a year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a tweet, Sheikh Mohammed tweeted, "Today, within the Council, we decided on sabbatical leave for citizens working in the government who wish to run their own businesses. The leave lasts for a full year, with half the salary, while preserving the job.

<p>Home to over nine million people, the International Labour Organisation claimed that only 12 per cent of nationals are recruited in the private sector with over 85 per cent taken by foreign nationals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>UAE like any other country always advocated for the public sector as an employment vehicle for its citizens. But time is changing now.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The government also announced income support of AED 7,000 ($1,900) for citizens who joined the private sector and have an income of less than AED 30,000.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has won the internet’s admiration yet again, with her response to a controversial media personality known for his misogynistic and far-right comments, Andrew Tate, on Wednesday.&nbsp;The two engaged in a war of words on the microblogging platform Twitter, where Tate seemingly took a jibe at Thunberg while flexing the number of supercars he owns and asked for her email id to “send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thunberg is no stranger to online trolling and is known for her marches and speeches across the world to call youth and politicians to take action against climate change.

‘Small d*** energy’: Greta Thunberg responds to Andrew Tate’s supercar flex on Twitter. He replies.

<p>British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and First Lady Akshata Murthy undertook a makeover of the No. 10 flat with velvet sofas in jewel colours and opulent curtains. These installations in the flat have been made at the expense of the couple, according to the society magazine Tatler.&nbsp;The February issue of Tatler, which will be out next week, features Murthy on its cover. The "No. 10's Chatelaine: Inside the Secret World of Mrs. Sunak" with those involved in the flat's refurbishment as well as close friends and associates who have been given Murthy's go-ahead to share some details of life at one of the world's famous addresses, news agency PTI reported.&nbsp;</p>

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and First Lady Akshata Murthy undertook a makeover of the No. 10 flat with velvet sofas in jewel colours and opulent curtains.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and First Lady Akshata Murthy undertook a makeover of the No. 10 flat with velvet sofas in jewel colours and opulent curtains. These installations in the flat have been made at the expense of the couple, according to the society magazine Tatler. The February issue of Tatler, which will be out next week, features Murthy on its cover. The "No. 10's Chatelaine: Inside the Secret World of Mrs. Sunak" with those involved in the flat's refurbishment as well as close friends and associates who have been given Murthy's go-ahead to share some details of life at one of the world's famous addresses, news agency PTI reported. The Sunaks chose Challis Interiors in Richmond, Yorkshire which was drafted to fix up the flat above No. 10 Downing Street when Rishi Sunak was the chancellor and he and his family used that as their home.

British PM, First Lady undertake makeover of No. 10 flat, Downing Street, at own expense. Details here

<p>How about celebrating a festival with fist-fighting? Well, this sounds like a great idea to ruin the festive vibe. But, in Peru’s Cusco region, people do the same thing, every year. Hundreds of residents of Peru’s Chumbivilcas province gather every year in the mountainous south to take part in an ancient fighting ritual aimed at allowing people to settle disputes on Christmas day, before the New Year. The tradition is centuries-old, and goes by the name “Takanakuy”, which roughly translates to “hitting with fist.”</p>

<h2><strong>Why is Takanakuy celebrated in Peru?</strong></h2>

<p>The idea behind the tradition is to give people the opportunity to resolve their disputes before the new year that may have come up throughout the year. People participate to settle conflicts with an individual, friend, family member or to settle territorial conflicts. While the fist-fighting competition, ‘waylilla’ or ‘wayliya’ music is played.</p>

<h2><strong>Is Takanakuy a part of Peru’s justice system?</strong></h2>

<p>Takanakuy has been described as a parallel governing system in Peru, outside of the country’s judicial system. Precautions are taken to stop or break up the fight when necessary. Members of the grassroots justice system in Peru's Andean communities are always on standby and monitor the fist-fighting. Each competition lasts for approximately two minutes. Kicks and punches are thrown in the fight competition, which immediately ends if either side bleeds, falls on the ground or is overwhelmed.</p>

<h2><strong>How popular is Takanakuy in Peru?</strong></h2>

<p>As per Reuters, this year, around 40 fist-fight competitions took place on Christmas. Some battles are not at all violent, while others end with smiles and hugs in the end. All battles are livestreamed by the local outlet La Republica. Traditionally, only men have been taking part in the Takanakuy competition, but as per local media, women are also increasingly showing willingness to hit the fray.</p>

Start the new year fresh after settling scores: This country has a fisticuff event to deal with enemies

<p>Mexico police stopped a couple on a motorway over a minor traffic offence and found a tiger cub in the couple's car boot. And what's more surprising is that it is not the first time that a tiger cub has been seized by the police in Mexico, as smuggling of big cats is a lucrative business.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When the Mexican couple was stopped by the police in the state of Querétaro for a minor traffic offence, they started reacting "aggressively" to being called out, this is when the police officers grew suspicious.&nbsp;<br />

Surprise! Mexican authorities find tiger cub wedged between suitcases in couple's car boot

<p>When life throws you into waters, you swim through it. This story of a Brazilian man found adrift in the Atlantic Ocean is straight out of a survivor movie.&nbsp;A fisherman who went missing in the Atlantic Ocean on the day of Christmas was found two days later by a fellow fisherman, clinging to a signal buoy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A 42-year-old fisherman from Brazil, David Soares survived in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean by braving the current when he fell off his fishing vessel on 25 December. Soares was on his own on Christmas from Atafona beach in the north of Rio de Janerio state to fish when this incident happened.</p>

<p>As soon as he slipped off the boat, he desperately tried to get back to it as quickly as possible, he told a local Brazilian news site, "for me the first 10 minutes were the most difficult because I wanted to get back to the boat at all costs" but that the current was too strong and he could not reach it."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Once he realised he could not get back to his boat, he took off his shirt and trousers as they weighed him down and let himself drift. "The water was choppy and it was windy... so I decided to let myself be carried along by the current in order to use less energy," he said.</p>

<p>After four hours, he reached a signal buoy near the port of Açu, which he climbed. "I thought I would die of cold before any help would arrive," he recalled. It took two days for him to be discovered by one of his fellow fishermen, who had set out to find him after his family had raised the alarm. Soares appeared to be in good spirits in a video taken by his rescuer on the way back, smiling and joking.</p>

Rare 'treat' for skywatchers: All solar system planets visible to the naked eye

<p>Joseph 'Jo Mersa' Marley, the son of Stephen Marley and the grandson of Bob Marley died at the age of 31. On 27&nbsp;December, Wednesday,&nbsp;a representative for the musician confirmed the news to the entertainment magazine Rolling Stone. Jo Mersa Marley made his debut in 2010 with "My Girl," a collaboration with his cousin Daniel Bambaata Marley. He released "Bad So" two years later, which was included in his 2014 EP titled "Comfortable" 2014.</p>

<h2><strong>Who was Joe Mersa Marley?</strong></h2>

<p>Marley was born in Jamaica and attended Saints Peter and Paul Preparatory School before moving to Florida to attend Palmetto High School and Miami Dade College,&nbsp;where he studied studio engineering.&nbsp;</p>
<img alt="Jo Mersa Marley " data-align="center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0c7def72-c89f-47d2-9485-ff2c7c10e535" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202022-12-28T121217.311.png" />
<p>Jo reportedly made his stage debut at 4 when he appeared with his father, his uncle Ziggy Marley, and his aunts Cedella Marley and Sharon Marley at a performance. He reportedly studied studio engineering at Miami Dade College.</p>

<h2><strong>How Jo Mersa Marley died?</strong></h2>

<p>Details of the cause of death are unclear at this moment. According to journalist Abka Fitz-Henley, the singer was found unresponsive in a vehicle on Tuesday. According to reports, South Florida radio station WZPP claims to have confirmed that Marley died unexpectedly of a heart attack.</p>

<h2><strong>Family tree of Jo Mersa Marley</strong></h2>

<p>Jo is the son of reggae legend Bob Marley's son, Stephen Marley. Jo's grandfather was a pioneer in the reggae movement, releasing popular songs such as Everything's Gonna Be Alright, Get Up, Stand Up, and Is This Love, among others. Bob Marley died of melanoma in 1981, at the age of 36. The singer had 11 children from seven different women.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jo opened up about what it meant to be Bob Marley's grandson in an interview. "There are things you must overcome and things you must simply do, and that is how it is. We have to live our lives, you know? I'm not under any extreme pressure. I am grateful for being a Marley. I'm grateful and thankful that I was born where I was born and placed where God has decided. I'm grateful and proud of myself."</p>

<h2><strong>What is reggae music?</strong></h2>

<p>Reggae is a Jamaican music genre that began in the late 1960s. The term also refers to contemporary popular music from Jamaica and its diaspora. While the term reggae is sometimes used broadly to refer to all types of popular Jamaican dance music, it more accurately refers to a specific music style that was heavily influenced by traditional mento as well as American jazz and rhythm and blues and evolved from the earlier genres ska and rocksteady.</p>

Reggae is a Jamaican music genre that began in the late 1960s. The term also refers to contemporary popular music from Jamaica and its diaspora. While the term reggae is sometimes used broadly to refer to all types of popular Jamaican dance music, it more accurately refers to a specific music style that was heavily influenced by traditional mento as well as American jazz and rhythm and blues and evolved from the earlier genres ska and rocksteady. Reggae is typically used to convey news, social gossip, and political commentary. The contrast between the bass and drum downbeat and the offbeat rhythm section makes it instantly recognisable.

Turkish music composer Ozan Doğulu and his girlfriend Hera Alsan mocked by netizens for height difference

<p>“The blizzard of the century” storm has so far claimed more than 60 people across the United States. But one family that nearly escaped a similar fate Friday night was of Demetrice and Danielle, who got stuck in Williamsville, New York along with their four children Aayden, 8, Aubree, 4, Jordynn, 2, and 9-month-old baby Judah. The storm had knocked power off, leaving the family stranded in fast-exacerbating bone-chilling weather. With no relief in sight, the family decided to pack into their vehicle and embark on the risky journey to safety. &nbsp;Soon they realized they might have made the worst mistake of their life.</p>

<p>The deadly storm had turned roads into icy traps for vehicles. Visibility was almost zero. Traffic lights and stop signs were hardly visible. The Arctic blast that struck New York that day made driving a perilous task. Even with their bright lights on, vehicles couldn’t see what lay ahead of them. They were driving while relying more on prayers. The alarm was setting in.</p>

<p><strong>Watch: At least 60 killed in the US due to devastating snowstorm</strong></p>

<p>A motorist trying to flee the whiteout couldn’t make it, who suffered a panic attack in the tunnel under the Buffalo airfield. This made Demetrice’s family super anxious. The report of the incident reached the Buffalo Airport Fire Fighters, prompting them to come out of the warm firehouse and rush to the scene to rescue more than three dozen travellers, including Demetrice and Danielle and their four kids. The family was stuck in a roundabout near the Buffalo airport tunnel.</p>

Real life Christmas miracle reported in US; A family of six had lost all hopes of living, then the heroes came

<p>It was august. A puppy was left abandoned at a California airport after an international traveler chose to continue traveling without his animal upon arrival at the city's airport, according to the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). But the puppy was lucky enough to get a forever home for himself after officially being an abandoned international traveller.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From the moment Polaris landed, the whole San Francisco United Airlines crew took care of him around-the-clock until they were able to obtain authorization to keep him securely in the US, according to Vincent Passafiume, director of the customer service at United.</p>

<p>But everything was about to change for the puppy. The Airlines ensured the 6-month-old German Shepherd met all regulations to enter the United States, including a quarantine period. The airlines selected William Dale, a pilot for United Airlines, from a pool of applicants. Director Passafiume said that it' a great feeling to see this story come full circle and that Polaris will have a loving home with United Airlines Captain Dale and his family — just in time for the holidays. No denying the fact the Santa came little early before Christmas for Polaris.</p>

<p>When the adoption was finalised on December 15, United not only threw a fun celebration at the airport in Polaris's honour but also donated $5,000 to the SF SPCA. "United's Customer Service team took on quite a challenge to ensure Polaris would be safe, healthy, and find a loving home," Lisa Feder, SF SPCA chief of rescue and welfare shared. "I only hope that we can do half as good a job of taking care of him as the United staff did," Capt. Dale shared of his family taking in the pup.</p>

He has 1 more month of quarantine in LA before he comes back to us in SF and we find his furever home. Spent some fun time hanging with him on my way thru LA @weareunited @Auggiie69 @ClarissaAtUA @Maddie_Queen @Tobyatunited @MikeHannaUAL pic.twitter.com/cl2jMbaAhb — Vincent Passafiume (@vjpassa) November 4, 2022 × When the adoption was finalised on December 15, United not only threw a fun celebration at the airport in Polaris's honour but also donated $5,000 to the SF SPCA. "United's Customer Service team took on quite a challenge to ensure Polaris would be safe, healthy, and find a loving home," Lisa Feder, SF SPCA chief of rescue and welfare shared. "I only hope that we can do half as good a job of taking care of him as the United staff did," Capt. Dale shared of his family taking in the pup.

WATCH: Flight crew with a Santa onboard surprises passengers on a Sri Lankan airline

<p>The symbolic imagery of tourists holding the tilt of Italy's leaning tower of Pisa while posing for photographs may not remain as pose-worthy in the times to come. Because the leaning tower of Pisa is losing its tilt.&nbsp;The site holds a remarkable significance for the fact that at the end of the&nbsp;sixteenth century, Physicist-mathematician Galileo dropped two spheres of different masses from the top of the tower to demonstrate that mass doesn't affect the descent of objects, an idea mathematically furthered by Newton a century later.</p>

<p>But after witnessing nearly centuries-long developments in&nbsp;science, history and archaeology, the tower is losing its tilt due to stabilisation works. Slowly but steadily, it's moving upright.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An 11-year stabilisation project reduced the tower's lean by 15 inches by 2001, and in the 21 years since, the tower has straightened itself by another 1.6 inches (4cm), according to a study funded by the preservation organisation Opera Primaziale della Pisana (OPA).</p>

The iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa loses its tilt by another 1.6 inches

<p>The 28-miles distance from the tip of mainland Cornwall and isles of Scilly in the United Kingdom can be covered by a nearly 3-hour long ferry. But the emergency services are also run by air. This December, the emergency services in Scilly faced the challenging task of ensuring safe birth in the air. &nbsp;</p>

<p>While being rescued by a helicopter from the Isles of Scilly to the Cornish mainland, &nbsp;Jennie Trevithick's labour progressed to childbirth. Before she could reach the hospital, the baby was born. Trevithick later told British media that she could not have felt safer as she gave birth.</p>

<p>Trevethick reportedly runs a brewery on Scilly. She went to a local hospital along with her partner where she began experiencing labour.

The coast guard then took her inside the helicopter but before touchdown, Jennie Trevethick gave birth to a healthy baby boy.</p>
