Mexico's Successful Week: Cutting Poverty Rates and More Achievements

In the realm of environmental conservation, scientists in the UK have made a significant breakthrough with the development of a new 'superfood' supplement aimed at combating the decline of honeybees. The supplement, engineered to provide essential compounds found in plant pollen, could potentially revolutionize the beekeeping industry.

With the current tax standing at 25%, this move is expected to make books more affordable and encourage a love for reading among the younger generation.

The automotive industry is also seeing a shift, with the arrival of lower cost electric vehicles (EVs) changing the game for many motorists. EVs, which produce no tailpipe emissions, are expected to account for every fifth new car entering western European roads during 2025. However, it's important to note that while they are environmentally friendly in operation, they do have an environmental footprint of their own to contend with.

In economic news, the decrease in poverty in Mexico is attributed to the policies of former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Over 13 million people have been lifted out of poverty since 2018, resulting in a 26% decrease in the poverty rate.
