Migrant Boat Capsizes; Maxwell Silent; Protests Erupt

Fifty-three people are dead or missing after a migrant boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off the Libyan coast, the UN migration agency reported on Monday. The incident, which occurred north of Zuwara on Friday, left only two survivors, according to the International Organization for Migration. This tragedy adds to the already high number of migrant deaths this year attempting to cross the central Mediterranean route.

In other news, Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein, refused to answer questions from a US congressional committee on Monday. Her lawyers stated she would only testify if granted clemency. Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, invoked her Fifth Amendment right during the deposition with the US House Oversight Committee, according to Euronews.

Meanwhile, in France, the government is encouraging all 29-year-olds to have babies, as part of a 16-point plan to boost the country's fertility rate. Health officials hope to avoid future fertility problems by encouraging people to start families earlier, according to Sky News. The plan also includes more free egg-freezing centers.

Also, police reportedly used tear gas and pepper spray on protesters in Australia during the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. The protests occurred in response to Herzog's visit, which was prompted by an invitation from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following a shooting at a Hanukkah event in Sydney in December.
