US: Major Power Outage Leaves Thousands in Dark in San Francisco 5

A major power outage hit San Francisco on Saturday evening, December 20, at its peak affecting about 124,000 customers. Power was gradually restored, reducing the number of affected customers to around 24,000 by early Sunday morning. Large parts of the northern and western areas of the city were left in darkness, forcing store and transit closures and suspending Waymo’s driverless taxi service. The cause remains unclear, though a fire at a PG&E substation may have contributed, and the outage also disrupted public transportation and communications.

China: Giant Panda Turns Into “White Bear” After Rolling in Snow

On January 21, 2024, in Xi’an, located in northwestern China’s Shaanxi province, a video captured the first snowfall of winter at the Qinling Four Treasures Science Park. Giant panda Qizai played on a slope near a tree. In the footage, Qizai rolled from the higher ground down toward the lower panda house area, turning over several times. Snowflakes stuck to its fur, gradually covering much of its body. By the time it reached the bottom, the panda looked like a round “white bear” with dark patches. The clip highlights the contrast between the thick snow, the enclosure, and the panda’s lively sliding movements.

Food Distribution for Unpaid Federal Employees During the Shutdown - USA

Federal employees and contractors line up to receive food during a free food distribution in Hyattsville, Maryland, the United States, on October 21, 2025. Starting this week, the nonprofit Capital Area Food Bank started to provide special free food distributions to U.S. federal employees and contractors. Over the past weeks, the impact of the government shutdown has gradually become apparent. About 750,000 federal employees in so-called "non-essential" positions have been furloughed without pay, while hundreds of thousands in "essential" roles remain on the job -- also without pay. Against the backdrop of rising food prices and high mortgage costs, the inability to receive timely paychecks has placed significant financial pressure on many federal workers.
