300 villagers killed in massacre by rebels

                About 300 people died in an attack on villagers in eastern Democratic Republic of Kongo. The army accused the M23 rebel group of killing at least 50 civilians in Kishishe village, before the government put number of dead at more than 100. Insurgents has rejected accusations and said that 8 civilians were killed due to “stray bullets”. Government spokesman Patrick Muyaya said that all of the victims were civilians and that at least seventeen of them were children. He also said that it is difficult to break down the data in full given the area was as he said “under M23 occupation”. M23 or the March 23rd movement is a rebel group that was dormant for years. It took up arms again in November last year. It is sad that so many innocent people died, some of them being kids.

Lucy, first full-time court dog in Australia

        The labrador called Lucy provides support as Australia’s first full-time court dog. Lucy is five-year-old chocolate labrador, that provides support for people in court. Court dogs are really helpful to vulnerable people, such as children, victims of domestic violence and those from different cultural backgrounds. Scientific research is showing that dogs can have positive psychological and physiological effects for humans. Science tells that presence of a dog, that is trained for the justice environment, can reduce anxiety and cortisol levels. Lucy is trained to be calm and supportive in any stage of legal matter, for both - children and adults. It is really amazing how a pet can not only be friend, but also mental support. Affairs in the court can be pretty stressful, so it is absolutely wonderful that dog can be trained to provide support to people that are stressed, because of them. link:  https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/nov/29/paw-and-...
