Livestream of moose migrating to their summer pastures fascinates millions

Swedish slow TV hit “The Great Moose Migration” has become a phenomenon. The livestream began airing Tuesday, a week ahead of schedule. National broadcaster SVT shows the annual migration 24 hours a day for 20 days. Not much happens for hours at a time, and fans say that's the beauty of it. The production hit 9 million viewers last year. Remote cameras capture dozens of moose as they swim across a river toward summer grazing pastures. An expert and fan calls the show “gripping because nothing catastrophic is happening.” Even the production crew says their stress eases.

Hospital staff have denied the allegations.

ICE arrests Palestinian activist at US citizenship interview in Vermont

A Palestinian man who led protests against the war in Gaza as a student at Columbia University has been arrested at a Vermont immigration office where he expected to be interviewed about finalizing his U.S. citizenship.

His attorneys, who have filed a petition in federal court seeking an order barring the government from removing him from the state or country, say they do not know where he is. At Columbia, he organized campus protests of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza until March 2024.

The institution says Monday it won’t comply with a list of demands from the Trump administration as part of its campaign against antisemitism. The list at Harvard was updated Friday, and includes government and leadership reforms, as well as a requirement to institute what it calls a “merit-based” admissions and hiring policy.
