Chicken Craze, Alberta Separatism, and a Man City Win!

Manchester City kept their Premier League title hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over Liverpool, while across the Atlantic, a youth-driven craze for US-style fried chicken is transforming the British High Street, according to multiple reports. Meanwhile, thousands of Malawi businesses closed in protest over tax changes, and conservation efforts in Bermuda have led to the thriving of a snail once thought extinct.

Erling Haaland's penalty in second-half stoppage time secured the comeback win for Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, bringing the gap on first-place Arsenal back to six points, as reported by Al Jazeera. In the UK, the popularity of US-style fried chicken is booming, with chicken shops opening at a faster rate than all other fast food outlets, according to BBC Business. This trend, fueled by online videos, is particularly popular among young people. "I try to be healthy," said 19-year-old nursing student Sumayyah Zara Sillah, who enjoys the food from Leicester takeaway Ragin' Bird, as reported by BBC Business.

Across the globe, shop owners and small businesses in Malawi protested against new tax changes, forcing a delay in the introduction of a new tax regime, as reported by The Guardian. Demonstrations occurred across Malawi's four main cities, with business owners claiming the changes would cripple their livelihoods. Thousands had signed petitions, which were presented to tax authorities.

In Bermuda, conservationists celebrated the thriving of the greater Bermuda snail (Poecilozonites bermudensis), once believed extinct, after breeding and releasing more than 100,000 of the molluscs, according to The Guardian. The snail was found in the fossil record but vanished from the North Atlantic archipelago until a remnant population was discovered.
