Earlier this month, LEGO announced the introduction of two new LEGO sets, an Orchid and a Succulent, and the finished results will look downright lovely on your coffee table, mantle or window sill. These new sets will become part of the brand’s sustainably made Botanical collection, which first debuted in 2021. In that release, LEGO featured a Flower Bouquet and a Bonsai Tree made out of ethically sourced sugarcane.

The newest buildable sets, which are available for sale on May 1, make for great conversation pieces and are fun to put together and display in place of real flowers or set alongside any existing indoor plants or artificial plants in your home. And with Mother’s Day around the corner, they serve as a great gift for your mom, wife, girlfriend, aunt or sister. With these sets, you’ll be able to construct plants in your own design and customize them just about any way you’d like. Family and friends won’t believe how realistic they look.

Trump faces pressure from US industry over China tariff on medicines
President Donald Trump is facing pressure from U.S. hospitals and generic drugmakers to exempt medical goods from his new tariffs on Chinese imports, as they join big pharma lobbyists who have said such trade barriers will cause shortages of medicines and higher prices in the United States. The Republican president on Tuesday imposed the 10% tariffs on all Chinese goods imported to the United States, and China responded with its own targeted tariffs. Trump suspended a threat of 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, agreeing to a 30-day pause after speaking with the leaders of those countries.

The Geneva-based body said on Wednesday that China had formally launched a dispute at the WTO over a 10% tariff imposed by Trump on Chinese goods, in moves that raised fears of a new trade war between the world's two largest economies.

A California utility said Thursday that its equipment likely sparked a wildfire in Los Angeles that broke out the same day as two massive blazes in the area killed at least 29 people and destroyed thousands of homes. The admission by Southern California Edison over its likely role in the Hurst Fire, which did not destroy any structures or result in any deaths, came in a required filing with state utility regulators. The utility acknowledged last month that fire agencies are investigating whether its equipment may have started the Hurst Fire, which scorched about 1.25 square miles (3.2 square km) around the Sylmar neighborhood of Los Angeles.

A recipe for radicalism: Jordan raises red flags over Trump's relocation plan
U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to resettle Palestinians from Gaza in Jordan is a recipe for radicalism that will spread chaos through the Middle East, jeopardize the Kingdom's peace with Israel and even threaten the country's very survival. These are the stark warnings Jordan's King Abdullah plans to deliver to Trump when he meets the U.S. President in Washington on February 11 as part of a diplomatic offensive against any relocation, according to three senior Jordanian officials, all of whom declined to be identified. There is very strong public opposition, and it's not something Jordan can entertain.

The emergence of X owner Elon Musk as the most influential figure around President Donald Trump has created an extraordinary dynamic — a White House adviser who's using one of the world’s most powerful information platforms to sell the government’s talking points while intimidating its detractors.

Musk isn’t bound to all the same ethics and financial disclosures as some other federal workers because he is classified as a special government employee.

At a presentation of a media campaign warning against the impact of cocaine use, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said he wanted drug users to be "aware of their responsibility when they feed a deadly economy by smoking a joint or snorting a line of cocaine." The ministry's video shows a line of cocaine turning into a fuse that ignites fires and shootings, with a warning to users that: "Every day, people pay the price for the drugs you buy." Nearly 197,000 consumers were fined for drug use last year, surging 21% over 2023, Retailleau said.
