In Election Prediction Twist, Galapagos Tortoise Chooses Love Over Politics
Hugo, a Galapagos tortoise at Australian Reptile Park, has a good record predicting the winners of elections and sporting results. But ahead of this year’s federal election, the fate of the nation remained unclear as Hugo chose love over politics.Hugo “the oracle” was presented with two plates of leafy greens, one representing Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the other opposition leader Anthony Albanese. The 71-year-old tortoise, who has seen 16 Australian prime ministers in his lifetime, initially made his way towards Morrison but then took a sharp turn towards Albanese.But in a surprising turn of events, Hugo ultimately bypassed both plates food and headed straight for Estrella, the female Galapagos tortoise at the park. The pair shared a special treat of sweet potato together.Head reptile keeper Jake Meney said, “For a moment there, it looked like he had made his choice but when he saw Estrella, I knew it was all over. When he sees her, something just comes over him and he can’t resist!”“I guess it’s just too close to call for the election this weekend and Hugo’s chosen love over politics,” Meney said.

Mariupol's 'Old Synagogue' and Jewish Community Center Destroyed by Russian Forces, Officials Say
The Mariupol City Council and the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine on May 18 accused Russian forces of leveling the ruins of the city’s historic synagogue as well as a Jewish community center.The city council, which published images on Telegram showing damage to buildings, said, “Like the Germans during World War II, they are destroying Jewish community buildings. In Mariupol, the Russian army destroyed the building of the ‘old synagogue’ and the community center,” according to a Google translation.Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Reuven Azman posted the same images on Facebook. “And here are the consequences of ‘denazification’.
