Three big news stories from the past week:
- Russia might cause a food crisis.
Russia stopped exporting grain from Ukraine, which is a big exporter of wheat, corn, and sunflower oil. This might lead to food shortages and hunger. - Over 50 whales died on a beach.
More than 50 pilot whales died after they were stranded on a beach in Scotland. The cause is not known, but it might be because they followed each other onto the beach and got trapped. - An Iraqi minaret was destroyed.
Iraqi officials condemned the demolition of a 300-year-old minaret in the city of Basra. The minaret was part of the Al-Nuri mosque, which was a UNESCO World Heritage site. The demolition sparked outrage among Iraqis, who saw it as a loss of cultural heritage.

That’s all the news we have for this week. Stay tuned for more updates next week.
