A North Carolina wildlife crossing will save people. Can it save the last wild red wolves too?
Hunters were once the greatest human threat to the country’s only unique wolf species. “We were hoping the mother would return and resume care, but she never did,” Joe Madison, head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's red wolf recovery program, said during a recent visit to the site. For decades, conservationists have pushed for changes to U.S. 64, a busy two-lane highway to the popular Outer Banks that runs straight through the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge – one of just two places in the world where red wolves run free.

New Jersey governor didn't actually invite an immigrant to live in his home, spokesperson says
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy sparked Republican outrage over recent comments suggesting he and the state's first lady offered an immigrant with uncertain immigration status the opportunity to stay at their home, but he didn't actually make the offer and the person never moved in, his spokesperson said Tuesday. The second term Democratic governor was relaying a conversation he had had with with first lady Tammy Murphy about someone they knew who was legally in the country but worried about their status, his spokesperson Mahen Gunaratna said. “I don’t want to get into too much detail, but there’s someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to,” Murphy said.

Merck 2025 sales forecast underwhelms as it pauses Gardasil sales in China
Shares of Merck slid Tuesday in early trading after the drugmaker surprised Wall Street with a lower-than-expected 2025 sales forecast due partly to a pause in shipments of one of its top-selling products to China. The drugmaker plans to temporarily pause shipments of its Gardasil vaccine to China through at least the middle of the year. Merck gave no explanation in its fourth-quarter earnings report for the pause, but sales of Gardasil fell 17% to $1.55 billion in the final quarter of last year, mainly due to a continued trend of lower demand in China.

Greenland lawmakers consider a ban on foreign donations to parties in face of Trump’s ambitions
Greenland’s legislature debated Tuesday whether to prohibit political parties from receiving contributions “from foreign or anonymous contributors” after President Donald Trump laid out ambitions for the United States to take over the vast island that belongs to Denmark. Inatsisartut, Greenland's parliament, discussed the proposal that would also ban any single party from receiving domestic private contributions that exceed 200,000 Danish kroner (about $27,700) in total, or 20,000 kroner (about $2,770) for a single contributor. The government of Greenland asked the parliament's five-member presidency to consider a bill aimed to "protect Greenland's political integrity” that would take effect immediately.

UN warns maternal deaths in Afghanistan may rise after US funding pause
A U.N. aid official said on Tuesday that a U.S. funding pause would cut off millions of Afghans from sexual and reproductive health services, and the continued absence of this support could cause over 1,000 maternal deaths in Afghanistan from 2025 to 2028. U.S. President Donald Trump last month ordered a 90-day pause in foreign development assistance, pending assessment of efficiencies and consistency with his foreign policy, setting alarm bells ringing among aid groups around the world that depend on U.S. largesse. Trump has also restored U.S. participation in international anti-abortion pacts, cutting off U.S. family planning funds for foreign organisations providing or promoting abortion.

South African leader spoke to Elon Musk about misinformation after Trump attack
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke to Elon Musk on the subject of misinformation about South Africa, the presidency said on Tuesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would suspend aid to the country over its land reform policy.
