What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.

Agreed. Stupid laws hurt everyone (except the corrupt state).

Edit: I see from the downvotes that there are some fans of authoritarian states telling people what mostly harmless things they put into their bodies.

Could someone enlighten me, please? What harm could that German have done with a personal stash of edibles that exceeds the harm the state is now doing to them as punishment?

It's about tempting the lion. Not very smart. But hey, bet Putin Is smoking meth.
