World Politics
Fun Fact!
Did you know that Greenland is the world's largest island but has fewer people living there than most small towns? Only about 56,000 people live on this massive icy island, which means there's more space per person than almost anywhere else on Earth!
Politics & Democracy
Fun Fact!
In some countries, young people can vote before they turn 18! Scotland let 16 and 17-year-olds vote in their independence referendum in 2014, and countries like Austria, Brazil, and Argentina also allow 16-year-olds to vote in certain elections.
Sports
Fun Fact!
The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the entire world! It started in 1871, which means it's over 150 years old. Even tiny teams can play against huge famous teams, which is why games like Wrexham beating Nottingham Forest are so exciting!
Technology
Fun Fact!
The first LEGO bricks made in 1958 can still connect perfectly with LEGO bricks made today! That's almost 70 years of compatibility. LEGO has made over 400 billion LEGO pieces since then - that's about 50 LEGO bricks for every person on Earth!
Space
Fun Fact!
The Moon is actually moving away from Earth! Every year, it drifts about 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) farther from us. That means when dinosaurs lived, the Moon was much closer and looked bigger in the sky!
Science
Fun Fact!
Japan has over 1,500 earthquakes every year! Most are too small to feel, but Japan has become so good at building earthquake-proof buildings that even strong quakes cause much less damage than they would in other countries. They even have earthquake drills in schools!

Saks Global seeks to file for bankruptcy as soon as Sunday, Bloomberg News reports
Luxury retailer Saks Global is planning to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as soon as Sunday, Bloomberg News ⁠reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
 🛍️ Saks Global is a big fancy store company that sells clothes and shoes. News says it may ask a court for help very soon.
🏛️ Asking the court for help is called bankruptcy. It does not mean closing forever. It means fixing money problems while staying open.
🏙️ The famous New York store on Fifth Avenue is very old and important. The company wants to make a new money plan soon.
💰 Saks is talking with helpers called creditors to borrow about 1.25 billion dollars. This money helps pay bills and workers.
🚪 During this time people can still shop there. The company hopes the plan will help it feel better and keep stores running.

Amazing Fun Facts You Won't Believe!
Here are some incredible facts about the topics we covered that will blow your mind!
Internet Shutdown
When governments shut down the internet during protests, it can cost a country millions of dollars per day because businesses can't work, people can't shop online, and banks can't process payments!
Arctic Temperatures
Greenland has some of the coldest temperatures ever recorded on Earth! The coldest was -66.1°C (-87°F). That's so cold that if you threw boiling water in the air, it would freeze before hitting the ground!
Youth Parliaments
Many countries have Youth Parliaments where kids and teenagers can debate real issues and suggest new laws. Some of their ideas have actually become real laws that everyone has to follow!
Presidential Tweets
During his first term, Donald Trump sent over 25,000 tweets! That's an average of about 17 tweets per day. Social media has changed how world leaders communicate with people.
Football Magic
A football weighs only 410-450 grams (about 1 pound), but when a professional player kicks it, the ball can travel at speeds over 130 kilometers per hour (80 mph) - faster than a car on most roads!
Stadium Energy
When thousands of fans jump and cheer at the same time in a football stadium, seismographs (earthquake detectors) nearby can actually measure the vibrations! Fan celebrations have registered on earthquake monitors!
LEGO Records
The tallest LEGO tower ever built was 35.5 meters (116 feet) tall - that's as tall as a 10-story building! It was built in Milan, Italy and used over 550,000 LEGO bricks!
AI Learning Speed
Some AI systems can read and understand thousands of books in just hours - something that would take a human many years! But AI still can't understand emotions and feelings the way humans do.
Asteroid Families
There are over 1 million known asteroids in our solar system! Scientists name some after famous people, places, or even fictional characters. There's an asteroid named after Mr. Spock from Star Trek!
Moon Footprints
Because the Moon has no wind or rain, the footprints left by astronauts over 50 years ago are still there today and will stay for millions of years! They're like permanent time capsules in the moon dust.
Earthquake Animals
Some animals can sense earthquakes before they happen! Dogs, cats, elephants, and even birds have been observed acting strangely minutes or hours before an earthquake strikes. Scientists think they might feel tiny tremors humans can't detect.
Fashion History
The first shopping mall in the world opened in ancient Rome over 2,000 years ago! It was called Trajan's Market and had over 150 shops selling everything from food to jewelry. Shopping has been popular for thousands of years!
