Indonesia launches free meals program for millions

A new initiative in Indonesia aims to provide free meals to over 82 million people by 2029, targeting malnutrition as a key issue in President Prabowo Subianto's agenda. While the program has received widespread support, concerns have been raised regarding its fiscal implications, as it is projected to cost around $28 billion over five years. In a separate development, the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Honolulu to proceed with a lawsuit against major fossil fuel companies, accusing them of misleading the public about climate change risks, which has resulted in significant local damages. This lawsuit is part of a growing trend of climate justice actions across the country. The resolution of diplomatic ties between Ethiopia and Somalia, previously strained over a maritime dispute, marks another significant geopolitical development, with leaders opting for dialogue to mend relations. These events reflect ongoing global efforts to address pressing social, environmental, and political challenges.
