Circuses will soon tour Northern Ireland again once Covid-19 restrictions are lifted, but according to the BBC, they’re facing an acute shortage of clowns. Many of these funnymen (and women), circus owner David Duffy explained, either returned to their own countries at the outset of the pandemic last year, or have since gone abroad to look for work in countries that have already reopened.

A federal judge on Tuesday threw out the nation’s first female genital mutilation case, delivering a major blow to the prosecution and FGM survivors who had hoped the Detroit case would help end a practice that is still performed on millions of girls worldwide.

The Return of Empty Shelves and Panic Buying
Supply chain issues are leaving supermarket shelves empty. Shoppers might yet make things worse.
Walk around a supermarket in the U.S. or Europe and you will see some empty shelves once more. This isn’t due to people panic-buying toilet paper, as they did early on in the pandemic; rather it’s because supply chains are clogged at almost every stage between Asian factories and grocery stock rooms.
But rising prices and patchy availability mean it’s only a matter of time before shoppers start purchasing in bulk again — this time to avoid future sticker shock.
