It was only Gizem Sirmali's third day in New York City , 'living the dream', as she told herself, on a two-month scholarship programme with a top marketing company. But as the 27-year-old content creator from Munich was walking around the trendy SoHo neighbourhood of Manhattan near her office and taking photos for a project, the dream ended abruptly. Instead, she became a statistic in a deeply disturbing criminal trend in the Big Apple. Out of the blue, a complete stranger walked up to her and hit her in the face as he passed. The blow, which she describes as a 'very hard slap' near her eye, that she believes would have broken her nose had she not been wearing sunglasses, made her freeze in shock and terror. Gizem told the Mail she had been so focused on looking at her mobile phone that she never saw her attacker's face and, scared that she might be hit again, she didn't turn around to look at him but just kept walking.

After a 'decolonizing' black history course was postponed, university students have filed a discrimination lawsuit. According to them, the University of Chichester broke the Equality Act because the course was designed to attract more black students into academia. Research (MRes) reveals that the History of Africa and the African Diaspora Master's was established in 2017 in an attempt to 'decolonize the curriculum.' Professor Hakim Adi, who was shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize, led it. Professor Adi, the first African-British history professor in the United Kingdom, said the axing was a 'attack' on black history.

After Hamas launched an attack on Israel this weekend, motorists could soon face higher gas prices at the gas pump, raising geopolitical tensions in the oil-rich area. West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark US crude benchmark, soared 5 percent at the start of Monday morning, topping $87 a barrel, according to Bloomberg. Although Israel and Palestine are not major oil producers themselves, the resistance, which has killed more than 1,100 people so far, has echoes throughout the region. According to a Wall Street Journal article, the conflict could escalate tensions between the US and Iran, which may have aided in the planning of the attack on Israel with Hamas. Iran is a major oil producer in the United States, and it could stifle exports if it is lumped with sanctions. In June 2022, gas prices hit a record peak of $5.02, just months after Russia's takeover of Ukraine and subsequent Western sanctions.
