What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

A new drone service is delivering supplies such as ladders and oxygen cylinders on Mount Everest, making it safer for Sherpas and cutting the time it takes to get supplies up the mountain – as well as bringing trash down.

Rich people hobby now getting easier. Guess what they’ll do with all the drones that crash there

Leave them like the bodies. Unless they can be strong enough to take supplies up and bodies down.

Lol that's going to cost money, there's absolutely no way rich people are going to do that

Would be nice to get all the trash off everest. Maybe make ones that can carry heavier loads to bring down bodies. There are like 200 left up there, I think?
