1/ We’ve got a #TGIF super cute animal photo for you! 🐐

A kid goat named Simba with absurdly, delightfully long ears (21 inches), is now a media star in his native Pakistan.
2/ Simba's owner, Mohammad Hasan Narejo, wants recognition from the Guinness World Records. But up until now, there hasn't been a category for "longest-eared goat."

Narejo is showering Simba with prayers of protection. 🐐
3/ #TGIF Have a great weekend everyone!

And keep listening to The World 🌎

1/ One international opinion that likely matters to Vladimir Putin is that of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. China is Russia's neighbor and its biggest trading partner.

So, how are Beijing, and the Chinese people overall, viewing the war in Ukraine? 🧵
theworld.org/media/2022-03-…
2/ Two-words: “Pro-Russian neutrality,” as analysts have called it. Chinese state media are not calling Russia's actions in Ukraine a war or an invasion. Instead, it is being portrayed as a situation, a conflict, a crisis or special military action.
3/ There is no criticism of Russia's actions and no talk of economic sanctions. There's very little coverage of ordinary Ukrainians’ experiences in the war.

Government and state-run media are pointing to the US as the culprit in this war.

1/ For many Syrians, the images of the Russian invasion into #Ukraine bring painful memories of war in their own country. 🧵

The Syrian government has used brutal tactics against protesters and has relied on Russia's lethal air support since 2015.

2/ The US and its Western allies condemned Russia’s involvement in #Syria. But for some Syrians, Russia’s lack of accountability for its actions in the war might have emboldened President Vladimir Putin.

3/ Aleppo, Syria, endured some of Russia and Syria's most intense bombing campaigns in 2016. The month-long assault resulted in the killing of more than 440 civilians, according to @hrw. Moscow continues to support the Syrian government to this day.

1/ While the world has been worrying about North Korean nuclear weapons, Kim Jong-un’s Reconnaissance General Bureau (its CIA) has been training its hackers to rob the world’s financial institutions. @pwinn5 has that story for @pritheworld and @globalpost s.pri.org/ZQfizCe
2/ Want to know what the RGB’s hackers do? Let’s go back to February 2016. That’s when North Korean hackers pulled off one of the greatest heists in US history, all without setting foot on American soil. The target: The Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
3/ The Federal Reserve holds the world’s largest repository of gold in vaults 80 feet below ground. But it also holds vast foreign wealth on servers wired up to the internet. That’s what North Korean hackers targeted: about $1 billion in a Fed-run account belonging to Bangladesh.

1/ Donald Trump announced the US will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and will instead impose sanctions on the country. "This was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made … It didn’t bring calm, it didn’t bring peace, and it never will,” Trump said.
2/ Immediately after Trump’s announcement, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani blasted the US for not fulfilling the international pact and said that Iran plans to remain in the deal without Washington’s participation.
3/ UK Prime Minister Theresa May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron released a joint statement emphasizing their continued commitment to the accord. “The world is a safer place as a result” of the Iran deal, they said. gov.uk/government/new…

1/ This week marked the 15th anniversary of the fall of #Baghdad. The ground invasion, toppling of the statue of Saddam Hussein and the outbreak of lawlessness all happened in the space of three days. From our archives, this is what those 3 days sounded like.
2/ Journalist and Iraqi Kurd @ayubnuri recalls the initial days of jubilation after the removal of Saddam Hussein. bit.ly/2quEY0G
3/ As we know, the celebration in #Iraq didn’t last. Journalists @maassp and @EllenKnickmeyer both went into the war zone without being embedded or protected by US forces. They witnessed the ongoing violence that followed the toppling of the capitol. bit.ly/2EK8gwt
