"Deadly Tribal Clashes Claim Dozens in Papua New Guinea Highlands"

At least 64 people have been killed in tribal violence in Papua New Guinea's northern highlands, with rival tribes using high-powered guns in the clashes. The police retrieved 64 bodies from the area, and the death toll is expected to rise. The military has deployed about 100 troops to the area, but their impact has been limited, with the security services remaining outnumbered and outgunned. The government is being urged to take quick action to address the violence, and international leaders, including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, have expressed concern and offered support.

Highland Monkey Escapades: From Drone Spottings to Nut Theft

An escaped Japanese macaque from the Highland Wildlife Park in the Highlands has been spotted for the second time by thermal imaging drones, but efforts to catch the seven-year-old male have been unsuccessful. The monkey, not named, is hoped to be returning to join the resident troop, and volunteers from the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team have joined the search. Locals have been advised not to approach the animal and to refrain from leaving food outside to encourage its return to the park. The Royal Zoological Society Scotland does not believe the monkey poses a threat to the public or pets.
