Bamako, Mali:
A Malian woman gave birth to nine babies on Tuesday - two more than doctors had detected inside her crowded womb - joining a small pantheon of mothers of nonuplets.
The pregnancy of Halima Cisse, 25, has fascinated the West African nation and attracted the attention of its leaders. When doctors in March said Cisse needed specialist care, authorities flew her to Morocco, where she gave birth.
"The newborns (five girls and four boys) and the mother are all doing well," Mali's health minister, Fanta Siby, said in a statement.
Cisse was expected to give birth to seven babies, according to ultrasounds conducted in Morocco and Mali that missed two of the siblings. All were delivered by caesarean section.
Nonuplets are extremely rare. Medical complications in multiple births of this kind often mean that some of the babies do not reach full term.

Washington:
US President Joe Biden said Tuesday he expects to hold a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin during a June trip to Europe.
"That is my hope and expectation," Biden said.
Biden in April offered a meeting in a third country to discuss rising tensions over Russian sabre rattling around Ukraine, the treatment of jailed Putin opponent Alexei Navalny, and other flashpoints.
A summit has not been confirmed but a Putin advisor, Yury Ushakov, has said planning is underway.
Biden is scheduled to attend a G7 summit in Britain in mid-June, followed by NATO and EU summits in Brussels, which would open the door to the logistics of a separate Putin meeting.
Austria and Finland have expressed interest in hosting the summit.
In April, Washington expelled 10 Russian diplomats over what it says was Russia's large-scale cyber attack on US computer systems and interference in the 2020 presidential election. Moscow responded with tit-for-tat expulsions.
However, the Biden administration has stressed that it wants to bring stability to the relationship and that Washington and Moscow need to cooperate on key areas, such as nuclear weapons and the climate crisis.

US To Vaccinate Low-Risk Teens As Covid Rages Globally

Washington:
President Joe Biden wants 70 percent of American adults to have received at least one shot of a Covid-19 vaccine by the July 4 holiday, and has made vaccinating adolescents a key part of the next phase of the country's immunization campaign.
But targeting US teens is a controversial move among many experts, who argue it is a serious mistake to use the world's limited supply of doses on a low-risk population while the pandemic surges in countries like India and Brazil.
Pfizer and its partner BioNTech said in March their two-dose regimen was shown to be safe and highly effective in a trial of 2,260 12-to-15-year-olds.
An emergency use authorization is expected in the coming days, and Biden told White House reporters Tuesday that "if that announcement comes, we are ready to move immediately."
The president's address comes as the nation's immunization campaign is stalling after hitting a peak in early April.
More than 56 percent of adults have received one or more shots, but as the rate of uptake falls, officials are devising new ways to reach vaccine hold-outs.
These will include discounts to shoppers who get vaccinated at grocery stores, promotions for fans at sports stadiums, and more vaccines at rural health clinics, said Biden.
The federal government is also working on a program with pharmacies and pediatricians nationwide to reach the country's estimated 17 million 12-to-15-year-olds ahead of school reopening in fall.
"Terrible error"
Many experts have, however, voiced concern whether now is the right moment to reach this group as the global situation deteriorates.
The issue of vaccine disparity has been brought into sharp focus by India, which reported 350,000 new cases Tuesday and recorded nearly 3,500 deaths -- more than anywhere in the world.
"The overwhelming majority of 15-year-olds, we know are not at high risk of severe complications from COVID," ER doctor Craig Spencer, director of Global Health in Emergency Medicine at Columbia University, told AFP.
"It is absolutely raging around the world and we're talking about how we're going to vaccinate an incredibly low-risk population, when the overwhelming majority of health care workers around the world have zero protection," he said.
Priya Sampathkumar, chair of Infection Prevention & Control at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, added that beyond being an ethics issue, exporting more vaccines was in America's own best interest.
"Vaccinating more people in the US is not going to help us if the variants in India, Nepal and South Asia get out of control and hit our shores," she told AFP.
The US has pledged to release up to 60 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, but the experts believe much more can be done.
"I think if you vaccinate 12-to-15-year-olds in the United States before you vaccinate 70 year olds globally, you're making a terrible error," UCSF physician and epidemiologist Vinay Prasad told AFP.
Israel's experience had shown that it is possible to achieve a "remarkable reduction" in cases without targeting teens, he added.
Low risk
Sampathkumar explained that the main reason to vaccinate teens is to drive down transmission -- a goal which she agreed with, though with US cases declining, it is a question of timing.
Statistics show children are at extremely low risk from severe Covid.
In the United States, under-18s have accounted for 277 deaths in total, according to the latest official data, a miniscule fraction of the total of 574,000.
There have been a further 36 deaths from multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a rare but serious post-viral disease.
Still, low risk isn't no risk, and pediatrician Lee Beers, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, welcomed the arrival of a vaccine for children.
She called vaccinating teens "an important tool in our toolbox for safe return to schools," saying it may "increase the comfort for many families and school staff."
Figures aggregated by the data company Burbio shows 67.1 percent of US school students are attending schools in-person, while 29.6 percent are in a "hybrid" set-up combining in-person and remote classes, and 3.3 percent are learning virtually.
But Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins, said that the government's own research had shown it is entirely possible to reopen schools safely without vaccines.
"It's just another barrier that's been falsely erected to stand in the way of returning kids to education," she stressed.
Nuzzo added global hotspots should be the priority.
"It's not good for kids in the long run if we just let this virus spread unchecked across the globe," she said.

Israel's Netanyahu Loses Mandate To Form Government, Opening Door For Rivals

</div>
Jerusalem:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's mandate to form a government following an inconclusive election expired on Wednesday, giving his rivals a chance to take power and end the divisive premier's record tenure.
Netanyahu, on trial over corruption charges he denies, had a 28-day window to secure a coalition following the March 23 vote, Israel's fourth in less than two years.
The 71-year-old's right-wing Likud party won the most seats in the vote, but he and his allies came up short of an absolute majority in the 120-seat Knesset, Israel's parliament.
The results delivered by a deeply fractured electorate left Netanyahu with a daunting path towards 61 seats, as voters broadly chose not to reward him for a successful coronavirus vaccination campaign.
President Reuven Rivlin's office said in a statement that Netanyahu had "informed (the presidency) that he was unable to form a government and so returned the mandate to the president."
In power from 1996 to 1999 and again since 2009, Netanyahu has acquired a reputation as a master political survivor and Israeli media had over the past four weeks feverishly speculated about deals he was hatching to stay in power.
But the obstacles that faced Netanyahu the morning after the vote remained largely unchanged.
A Netanyahu-led coalition likely would have required tacit cooperation between the conservative Islamic Raam party and the far-right Religious Zionism alliance, whose leaders have hurled incendiary anti-Arab rhetoric during their political careers.
Raam's leader Mansour Abbas had said he was open to any arrangement that improved living standards for Israel's 20 percent Arab minority.
But Religious Zionism's leader Bezalel Smotrich has repeatedly called Raam "terror supporters" who he refused to work with.
Netanyahu also could have made up the numbers by making peace with his estranged former protege, the religious nationalist Naftali Bennett, and convincing Likud defectors in the New Hope party to return home.
New Hope's leader Gideon Saar maintained that his party was committed to ousting Netanyahu.
Bennett, a multi-millionaire former tech entrepreneur, said Monday he could have endorsed Netanyahu to preserve right-wing governance but saw no path for the prime minister to clinch a viable coalition.
Likud on Wednesday blasted Bennett for what it called "his refusal to form a right-wing government."
Bennett has long been viewed as a hardliner and enthusiastic supporter of Jewish settlement expansion on occupied Palestinian territory in the West Bank.
But he sought to highlight his business and management credentials as pandemic closures ravaged Israel's economy.
Bennett has said his top priority is avoiding a fifth election and that he would work towards a unity government if Netanyahu could not form a coalition.
Bennett may end up leading such a unity government, despite his Yamina party only controlling seven seats.
"Historic opportunity"
Rivlin said he would contact political leaders on Wednesday morning "regarding the continuation of the process of forming a government."
He can assign a new 28-day mandate to another lawmaker, with opposition leader Yair Lapid the most likely choice after his centrist Yesh Atid party finished second in the vote.
Lapid has confirmed that he offered Bennett the chance to serve first as premier in a rotational coalition, in the interest of ending Netanyahu's tenure.
"There is an historic opportunity. To break down the barriers at the heart of Israeli society. To unite religious and secular, left and right and center," Lapid said Monday.
"It's time to choose. Between a unity government or ongoing division."
The former television presenter said last week's stampede that killed 45 mainly ultra-Orthodox Jews at a religious festival was a consequence of Israel lacking a "functioning government."
He conceded that an ideologically divided coalition forged mainly through shared opposition against Netanyahu "won't be perfect", but would prioritise national interests.
Parliament options
Rather than tap another lawmaker to form a government, the president could ask the Knesset to select a name, a move unlikely to break the deadlock that could accelerate Israel's return to the polls.
In a widely-criticised manouevre, Netanyahu and his allies have flirted with legislation to create a direct vote for prime minister, hoping he would emerge victorious in a divided field.
Likud members made moves to advance such legislation as the prime minister's mandate was expiring on Tuesday, but with little sign of success.

Stabbing Attack By Teen At Brazil Daycare Kills Three Children, Two Staff

Saudades, Brazil:
An 18-year-old attacker armed with a samurai-style sword burst into a daycare center in Brazil Tuesday and killed three children and two staff, local police said, leaving the small southern town in shock.
The attacker then turned his weapon on himself, gashing his own neck, abdomen and torso, said authorities in Saudades, a town of 10,000 people in Santa Catarina state.
"He was taken to the hospital in critical condition," police said in a statement.
Officials did not indicate a motive for the gruesome attack and said the assailant had no criminal record.
"When firefighters arrived at the daycare center, they saw an extremely brutal scene. There were already children dead, an employee also," emergency worker Leonardo Ecco told journalists.
Employee Aline Biazebetti, who was at her home near the daycare center, described the horror of realizing what was happening inside.
"I heard screams, cries for help. I told my father, 'Something's going on at the daycare.' I went outside and saw my colleagues calling for help: 'Please, call the police, an armed guy came in and is killing the children,'" said Biazebetti, 27.
"I managed to call the police. They came out with an injured child, so my father got the car and we took him to the hospital."
The children's ages were not released. Local media reported that the center was for children aged six months to two years.
A fourth child suffered light wounds, police chief Jeronimo Marcal Ferreira told journalists outside the daycare, where police and emergency workers had cordoned off the area.
A policeman described the attacker's weapon as "samurai-style," and displayed it to the press: a long knife or short sword wrapped in yellow plastic and sealed in an evidence bag.
Governor Daniela Reinehr declared three days of mourning across the state.
The last deadly school attack in Brazil was in March 2019, when two former students shot eight people dead before killing themselves at a high school in the southeastern town of Suzano, near Sao Paulo.

Hey bestie, why is everyone saying “hey bestie” online?

Hey bestie! Do you keep logging onto the internet and seeing people calling each other “bestie” and “girlie” and “girlboss” and “queen,” and you sort of get the sense that these words are on some level being used ironically but also you aren’t totally sure what the joke is?
<div class="c-float-right">

If you spend a lot of time reading TikTok comments, the most brutal and hilarious place on the internet, you almost certainly have. There, everyone is “bestie.” Regardless of whether you are wonderful or absolutely suck, you are “queen.” Did you have a really bad opinion on something you don’t know anything about? “Hey girlboss it’s not too late to take this down <3” Did you post something that you thought was a flex but it ended up being a self-own? Someone will have commented “hey bestie I can’t do this today!”
“Besties” and “girlbosses” have neither gender nor profession; even if you are an old man, on TikTok you are “girlie.”
It’s a joke, even when it’s not — you can comment “ok bestie you BODIED this” on a TikTok of someone wearing a cute outfit — the joke being the fact that you’re saying the word “bestie” to a stranger on the internet. In other words, the fun of “hey girlie” is that you get to role-play as someone who would actually call a stranger on the internet “girlie.” In other-other words, you’re also sort of ironically appropriating MLM culture.
MLMs, or multi-level marketing companies, have been a subject of fascination on the internet for more than a decade. Companies that <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/10/15/17971410/lularoe-lipsense-amway-itworks-mary-kay-mlm-multilevel-marketing">operate with an MLM structure</a> (also sometimes called “network marketing” or “direct sales”) rely on individual sellers to recruit others to join the business, creating a pyramid-like system in which the biggest successes aren’t the people who sell the most product, they’re the ones who recruit the most sellers. MLMs like LulaRoe, LipSense, and Young Living encourage members to exploit the relationships they already have and create a false sense of intimacy with people they barely know — i.e., calling a distant acquaintance a “bestie” before sending them a sales pitch.
A portrait of the typical MLM participant has dominated: a white, suburban woman in her 20s or 30s who’s either married or perpetually engaged, who probably loves Disney and <a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/22373865/rachel-hollis-controversy-harriet-tubman-girl-wash-your-face-stop-apologizing-unrelatable">Christian self-help evangelist Rachel Hollis</a>, and who posts grainy images that say “But first, coffee” to her Instagram. There are plenty of women like this, but the internet’s obsession with them goes deeper than just the numbers. For at least the last decade, we’ve endured several new dictionary definitions for what it means to be an embarrassing kind of white woman: First we had the Pumpkin Spice Latte-drinking “basic bitch,” then there was “Christian Girl Autumn,” a play on “Hot Girl Summer,” the same year that <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/9/24/20881656/vsco-girl-meme-what-is-a-vsco-girl">“VSCO girl”</a> became the de facto way to describe middle-class teenage girls who wore oversized T-shirt and puka shell necklaces. And as of last Friday, we have a new term to describe the same kind of cringey, out-of-touch basic person: “cheugy.”
What is “cheugy,” a word I came across precisely once in a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@webkinzwhore143/video/6945562242259684613?_d=secCgYIASAHKAESMgowIIrb2MgbhGVOIyJ09JNPVQp5TuAoeqDtaYpktcC%2Bm6tlv5CRMjYAtCSA8OJ71ED3GgA%3D&language=en&preview_pb=0&sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAA4BgIbw0ed4-DdJrkIGl8b-Z7qVcLSeJC8LSb_o3Q8_UKKEk1hoyPyATFAQmpe-Go&share_app_id=1233&share_item_id=6945562242259684613&share_link_id=A055E62D-FB85-482E-BC8D-FF0128A0236B&source=h5_m&timestamp=1619731440&tt_from=copy&u_code=6dc3cefl1fi8a&user_id=144377784793104384&utm_campaign=client_share&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=copy&_r=1&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1">relatively niche TikTok</a> a couple weeks ago and never heard again until the New York Times’s digital trend oracle <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/29/style/cheugy.html">Taylor Lorenz wrote about it last week</a> and <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2021/05/cheugy-is-hard-to-define-but-easy-to-identify.html">is now all</a> <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/what-is-cheugy-millennial-girlboss-tiktok-aesthetic-1163515/">over the internet</a>? “Cheugy,” according to its inventor, 23-year-old software developer Gaby Rasson, can be used to describe “people who [are] slightly off-trend,” outdated, or even just generally “off” in the same way that a high school classmate DMing you to buy her essential oils feels. The aesthetic is chevron print, Instagram posts captioned with “I did a thing,” and the twirly, curly font adorning <a href="https://www.vox.com/2018/9/18/17870200/script-bridesmaid-gifts-wine-glasses">every Etsy product tagged “bridesmaid.”</a> The Instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cheuglife/">@cheuglife</a>, which documents particularly cheugy offenses, includes pictures of Ugg slippers, #girlboss mugs, Minions memes, Smirnoff raspberry vodka, and, hilariously, cake pops.
The original TikTok, which got about 100,000 likes (Twitter viral, but not TikTok viral), makes clear that very few people are actually saying “cheugy.” It was presented more as a pitch, a term that might be useful in your life in case you and your friends needed it. In her explainer, Lorenz emphasizes the point, making clear that this was simply a term that spread among a few groups of friends at summer camp and sororities, not a wildly common phrase.
Then, something predictable happened: The story went viral, and as of this weekend, “cheugy” is everywhere. Though she couldn’t tell me how many pageviews it has, Lorenz said it was one of the most-read recent stories in the Styles section — right below an explainer on Rachel Hollis. The meaning is clear: People are extremely fascinated by this specific kind of person, whether it’s because they’re reminded of cheugy #girlbosses in their own life or out of a desire to separate themselves. “People love to bash this specific type of person, a privileged white person, and especially sorority types,” Lorenz told me. “Any time you can name that backlash or articulate it, it pops off.”
While it’s easy to claim it all as outright misogyny, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/what-is-cheugy-millennial-girlboss-tiktok-aesthetic-1163515/">Rolling Stone’s EJ Dickson</a> makes a good point: “Misogyny is insidious and takes many forms in our culture, but making fun of someone for posting Minion memes is not one of them.” Much more than sexism, I’m reminded of spaces on the internet where people cosplay as other types of internet users, like Facebook’s iconic <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/j5yev4/facebook-group-pretend-boomers-trend">“a group where we all pretend to be boomers”</a> or Caroline Moss and Michelle Markowitz’s delightful book <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/30/style/hey-ladies-emails-women.html">Hey Ladies, a fictional parody of a bridal party email chain</a>.
“Cheugy,” to me, feels less like an attack on someone else and more like self-deprecation, a way to poke fun at our past selves who actually did earnestly love chevron and aspired to be a girlboss. A little part of us probably wishes that we were less online and had fewer irony-poisoned brain cells, living in a world where we were completely unaware of the term “cheugy” and instead just lived it. Am I right, bestie?
