Argentina is currently wrestling with a crippling inflation rate of almost 300%, causing palpable discomfort in Buenos Aires. The significant inflation has wrecked the Argentinean economy, leading to sky-high costs of everyday goods and a steep drop in public trust.
As a result, widespread protests and a growing call on the government to act have emerged. In response, the federal government is weighing up several options: currency devaluation and boosting interest rates are included.

Switching gears, a legal dispute over a bear, previously known for attacking a runner, has rocked the province of Trento in North Italy. Local citizens are rooting for court-ordered euthanasia, sparking fierce opposition from animal rights activists.
