Global Flashpoints: Iran Blasts, Greenland Fears, Amnesty in Venezuela

Here's a news article synthesizing the provided information:

US Government Faces Potential Partial Shutdown; International Protests Erupt

Washington D.C. – The U.S. government faced the possibility of a partial shutdown over the weekend after the Senate passed a Trump-backed government funding deal on Friday. The bill, which passed 71-29, now heads to the House, which is not scheduled to return until Monday, according to Euronews. The legislation provides funding for most of the government through the end of September but includes a temporary extension for Homeland Security funding, giving Congress two weeks to debate new restrictions on federal immigration raids across the country.

Meanwhile, international tensions were evident as protests unfolded in Denmark and Italy. In Copenhagen, hundreds of Danish veterans, many of whom fought alongside U.S. troops, held a silent protest outside the U.S. Embassy on Saturday, Euronews reported. The demonstration was triggered by comments from the Trump administration that veterans felt downplayed their combat contributions, as well as concerns over potential U.S. control of Greenland. The protest began at Copenhagen's Kastellet fortress, a historic site still in use.

Parallel protests occurred in Milan, Italy, opposing the role of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the upcoming Winter Olympics, according to Euronews.

In other international news, a powerful explosion rocked the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas earlier today, Euronews reported. The blast occurred in an eight-story building, causing severe damage to the lower floors and shattering windows throughout the building. Hormozgan’s Crisis Management Organisation stated that investigations into the cause of the incident are ongoing, noting that 14 people were injured in the residential complex. While reports circulated, Israel denied any involvement in the explosion, according to Euronews.

Also on Friday, Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez proposed an amnesty law that would cover political prisoners detained during the entire Chavista period, Euronews reported. Rodríguez instructed the Judicial Revolution Commission to prepare the legal text for a vote in the National Assembly. The measure excludes cases of murder, drug trafficking, and human rights violations. Families are reportedly waiting cautiously for the outcome.

In the tech world, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang addressed a report claiming friction between his company and OpenAI. Huang said Saturday that the report, which appeared in The Wall Street Journal, was "nonsense," according to TechCrunch. The WSJ article stated that Nvidia was considering scaling back its $100 billion investment in OpenAI and that Huang had privately criticized OpenAI's business strategy. The two companies announced a plan in September for Nvidia to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI and build 10 gigawatts of computing infrastructure for the AI company. The WSJ reported that the companies are rethinking their relationship, though not necessarily ending it entirely.

A cup of coffee for depression treatment has better results than microdosing

Synthesizing information from multiple news sources, a recent Australian biopharma study by MindBio Therapeutics challenges the widely reported benefits of microdosing LSD for depression, finding that a placebo outperformed the psychedelic in treating major depressive disorder over an eight-week trial. This contradicts earlier anecdotal reports that touted microdosing as a solution for increased focus, energy, and mood enhancement.
