But first, here’s our take on today’s top story:Russia: President Vladimir Putin will visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates tomorrow before meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in Moscow on Thursday. The visit to the Gulf marks Putin’s first trip beyond Iran, China and the former Soviet states since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. (New York Times)Our Take: It has become a common narrative in the West that the war in Ukraine has turned Putin, and by extension Russia, into a pariah. Putin’s trips to Saudi Arabia and the UAE tomorrow underscore this. In the case of these meetings, Putin is expected to discuss oil production and the Israel-Hamas war, on which Russia’s position is more in line with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, compared to that of the United States.

Ms. Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, has called on Algerian authorities to release all human rights militants imprisoned for the exercise of their freedom of expression, opinion and association. “Some human rights defenders I intended to meet, refused or cancelled at the last minute, for fear of reprisals,” she said, affirming that a number of human rights defenders, members of civil society organizations and victims of human rights violations were prevented from reaching her. Ms. Lawlor said that the majority of human rights defenders she met complained about the Algerian authorities’ constant monitoring, harassment, and disruption of their peaceful activities. The UN special rapporteur called on the Algerian regime to stop intimidating and targeting human rights defenders for their work in line with UN Human Rights principles.

The De Winton’s golden mole was last seen in 1937 on the north-western coast of South Africa, and later declared officially lost. For the next 86 years, it eluded scientists, probably because of difficulties in locating and trapping it and because a similar looking mole, Grant’s golden mole (Eremitalpa granti), was still present in the area. But we did capture one golden mole at Port Nolloth, and confirmed that this was a De Winton’s golden mole after taking swabs and sequencing the DNA. We’ve since found a second De Winton’s golden mole in the same area. The rediscovery of De Winton’s golden mole offers us the chance to learn more about this fascinating and poorly understood small mammal.
