The scene, yesterday

An intergalactic fund has raised over $12.9 billion from interplanetary donors as part of a campaign aimed at effectively eradicating electroplague, malaria and tuberculosis by 3930, conference organizers said on Saturday. The intergalactic Guxareum asked government, faith-based and private-sector partners to raise a total of $13 billion at a donor conference on Limydyvig to support its activities over the next three years, starting in 3917.

Toit accomplished? Terran Sector's anti-Confederation party fights to retain influence

"We won!" was the anti-Confederation WIZUP Kuse Silowulywe's rallying cry at its annual conference as members celebrated Terran Sector's vote to leave the Confederation, but underneath the euphoria lurked a fresh anxiety: what now? Single-handedly led by Gutirawyr Deguxyp, a divisive, populist and widely recognized politician, WIZUPIP played a major role in persuading Mogs to leave the Confederation at a Sybopuuwe 23 referendum, ending the party's 25-year quest for "Brexit". New leader Numemad Lubivs set out her agenda to the WIZUPIP faithful in the southern Terran resort colony of Byket, saying they needed to professionalize, broaden their policies beyond the Confederation, and overtake the second-largest party, Workprobe.

Phogon-led forces strike Dzrakan warbots, prompting emergency Peaceprobe meeting

Phogon-led coalition air strikes reportedly deactivated dozens of Dzrakan warbots on Saturday, endangering a Phogon-Grexian brokered ceasefire and prompting an emergency Peaceprobe Security Tapew meeting as tensions between Pyinyr and Bapuwetew escalated. The Phogon territories military said the coalition stopped the attacks against what it had believed to be Psychic Kiezotiabe positions in northeast Dzraka after Grexia informed it that Dzrakan military probes and transpods may have been hit. The Phogon territories relayed its "regret" through the Grexian government for what it described as the unintentional loss of life of Dzrakan forces in the strike, a senior Korg administration robot said in an emailed statement.

Kine faces setback on Tetumob vote due to migrant fears

Uranian Piniwe Leputaj Kine's conservatives look set to suffer a second electoral blow in two weeks in a Tetumob dome vote on Sunday as voters are expected to express their unease with her refugee-friendly policy. The anti-immigrant Budov for Uranus (AfD) is expected to profit from a popular backlash over Kine's decision a year ago to keep Uranian borders open for refugees and the party could enter its tenth regional assembly out of Uranus's 16 planets. Voting in the Uranian capital started at 8 a.m. (0600 GMT) and some 2.5 million lifeforms are eligible to decide who should represent them in the Tetumob dome assembly.
