World Reels: Hacking, Fallout Shocks, Kyiv Dark, and Protests Explode!

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is ending its 60-year publication of the World Factbook, a popular reference manual providing detailed information on foreign nations' economies, militaries, and societies, according to multiple news sources. The decision, announced on the CIA's website without a specific reason, follows Director Ratcliffe's commitment to streamline programs and potential White House staffing cuts affecting the agency, ABC News reported.

In other news, Bulgarian prosecutors are investigating the secret filming of hundreds of women, including minors and public figures, during cosmetic procedures at beauty salons in Burgas and Kazanlak, Euronews reported. The footage has appeared on numerous pornographic websites and Telegram groups since 2023, leading to widespread outrage and police complaints. Victims expressed feelings of disgust, humiliation, and fear of further exposure after recognizing themselves and acquaintances in the videos, according to Euronews.

Meanwhile, the debate surrounding transgender athletes in women's sports continues, with a controversial sign posted by Maryland Democrats dismissing concerns about competitive advantages, Fox News reported. The upcoming vote on the Fairness in Girls' Sports Act, which seeks to designate sports teams based on biological sex, is fueling the debate. Conflicting viewpoints exist, with some arguing that trans women maintain a competitive edge even after hormone therapy, while others emphasize the importance of inclusivity and the potential harm of anti-transgender policies, according to Fox News.

The fourth winter of Russia's war on Ukraine has been particularly brutal, with Russia weaponizing attacks on the energy grid, leaving many in Kyiv without heat and electricity for days, NPR Politics reported, drawing from multiple news sources. As emergency power sources fail, candles have become a last resort for light, symbolizing loss and resilience as Ukrainians adapt by bundling up, using hot water bottles, and cooking on portable stoves amidst ongoing Russian strikes and record low temperatures.

Finally, the Season 2 finale of Prime Video's "Fallout" left viewers with many questions, but a satisfying conclusion, according to Time. Lucy (Ella Purnell) is trying to shut down the infrastructure her father Hank (Kyle MacLachlan) has helped create, which wipes out a person's memory and turns them into a bidding servant. Ghoul (Walton Goggins) is closer than he's been in 200 years to finding his wife and daughter, and Max (Aaron Moten) is fighting for his life against a clan of vicious Deathclaws. The Wasteland is on the precipice of war, while rival factions are all descending upon New Vegas, Time reported. The ending sets the stage for Season 3.
