About 150,000 demonstrators marched in roughly 20 German cities Saturday, September 12, including Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, protesting the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) after its landslide win in last week's Saxony-Anhalt state election.

China: Disabled Cat Walks on Front Paws in Handstand

Filmed on July 27, 2025, in Urumqi, Xinjiang, this video captures the unique and inspiring journey of a cat named Nunu. Born with a congenital deformity that left its hind legs unable to function, Nunu was rescued from the streets and has since taught itself to navigate the world in a truly remarkable way. The footage shows Nunu moving down a hallway entirely on its front paws in a perfect handstand. With its hind legs lifted and suspended in the air, Nunu uses its two front paws to bear its entire body weight, alternating them in a steady, rhythmic motion to propel itself forward. Its front legs are visibly strong and muscular, allowing it to maintain a steady balance and walk with surprising agility. The video beautifully highlights Nunu's incredible resilience and optimistic spirit, turning a severe physical challenge into a heartwarming display of strength and determination.
