China: Clever Border Collie Tricks Owner to Steal Fried Rice

This is the hilarious moment a clever Border Collie tricked its owner to steal his fried rice in Tianjin, China. On June 3, 2025, the dog barked to distract its owner after finishing its business, making him think it needed cleanup. While the man stepped away, the mischievous pup ran to the table and began eating the freshly cooked egg fried rice. The owner later said the Border Collie ate all the rice and even tried the chili and garlic. He returned to find the dog still happily eating.

Each person was assigned with specific tasks, such as preparing, cleaning and filling the beef sausages. After over two hours of work, the meat needed during the winter has been placed on the drying rack, waiting to be air dried. Once the w

Lebanese rely on affordable traditional meals amid economic crisis

STORY: Lebanese rely on affordable traditional meals amid economic crisis DATELINE: Nov. 30, 2022 LENGTH: 0:02:05 LOCATION: Beirut CATEGORY: SOCIETY SHOTLIST: 1. various of a local canteen offering ful medames STORYLINE: Lebanon's financial and economic crisis has forced Lebanese to cut down their expenses and spend less on different kinds of needs including food. Since 2019, Lebanon's financial meltdown, seen by the World Bank as one of the worst crises since the 1850s, has plunged over 80 percent of the Lebanese population into poverty. Many Lebanese can't afford different types of food. They have to rely on cheap meals, such as traditional food. Ful medames is a traditional Lebanese meal prepared with cooked fava beans seasoned with garlic, olive oil, cumin and lemon juice. A plate of it for two people costs around 60,000 Lebanese pounds (1.5 U.S. dollars), which is affordable for most people. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Beirut. (XHTV)
