Wildfire spreads in Los Angeles – 30,000 evacuated from flames
The large wildfire in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood just outside Los Angeles continues to rage. The flames are being fanned by strong winds in the region and 30,000 people have been urged to evacuate. Several homes have been razed to the ground.
According to AFP, hundreds of firefighters have reached the area. Firefighting efforts are underway from the ground and from the air. Emergency services chief Kristin Crowley says there are no reports of deaths or injuries.

Tourist killed by elephant in Thailand – keeper charged
A 22-year-old Spanish tourist has died after being trampled by an elephant at a tourist center in Thailand, writes El País. Now an elephant keeper at the center is being charged with negligence.
According to police and staff at the center, the female elephant was stressed and hit the female tourist with one of her tusks while bathing, which led to life-threatening injuries. The young woman died shortly afterwards.
The incident is the first fatal accident caused by an elephant in Thailand in 2025. Last year, 39 people died in accidents related to elephants in Thailand. In July 2024, a Spanish tourist was killed in South Africa after photographing elephants at close range.

Study: Reduce the risk of early death - drink coffee at the right time
Drinking coffee only in the morning may be linked to a lower risk of premature death, according to a study in the European Heart Journal, CNN reports.
The researchers found that coffee intake limited to the morning hours reduces the risk of early death by 16 percent and the risk of cardiovascular disease by 31 percent.
- This is the first study to examine the timing of coffee drinking and its health effects, says doctor Lu Qi, who worked on the study.
The study analyzed dietary and health data from more than 40,000 adults between 1999 and 2018. The results suggest that coffee in the morning, regardless of the amount or whether it is decaffeinated, is more beneficial than consumption throughout the day.
The researchers believe that coffee in the morning can help the body reduce inflammation and support its natural circadian rhythm. At the same time, they emphasize that more studies are needed to be completely sure of the connection.
