For the first time in a century, the number of Tigers living in the wild has increased rather than decreased.  The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that there are 3,890 animals out there in their natural habitats, compared to 3,200 in the year 2010.  The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says the gain of 20 percent is spread out among four countries:  India, Russia, Nepal, and Bhutan.  The WWF's Ginette Hartley says this marks "a pivotal step in the recovery of one of the world's most endangered and iconic species".  The news provides a glimmer of hope after last week's dismal news of Cambodia declaring its Wild Tiger population extinct.

However, another 7,000 Tigers live on farms in China, awaiting the day they're turned into rugs, Tiger-Bone Wine, and useless folk medicines.  Conservationists know that in order to protect Wild Tigers, the consumer demand for these irresponsible crap products needs to be dried up.  To that end, 23 non-governmental organizations called on the tiger range countries to adopt a commitment to zero poaching and eliminating the consumer demand for tiger products. 'Talking to you, China.

UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn lambasted Prime Minister David Cameron for being tone deaf about his taxes.  Facing MPs for the first time since the Panama Papers unveiled his father's secret offshore assets, Cameron was unmoved as Mr. Corbyn decried "one rule for the super-rich, and another for the rest"; and spoke of people standing in food lines while others lost their benefits as the super-rich hid their wealth and refused to pay their taxes.  Cameron released his tax documents over the weekend to try and blunt the criticism.  The men who would replace him - Corbyn, Chancellor George Osborne, and London Mayor Boris Johnson - did so on Monday.

Spain's acting minister of industry, energy and tourism says he never "had shares, nor participation, nor any position of responsibility" in an offshore company that had dealings with his family's business, despite his name appearing in documents leaked from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, also known as "The Panama Papers".  Jose Manuel Soria says he asked Spanish prosecutors to investigate.  A week ago, Mr. Soria said anyone with offshore interests need to come forward.

Conservatives couldn't be happier with the results of the first round of Peru's presidential election; former World Bank economist Pedro Kuczynski came in second with 24 percent.  Even though ultra-conservative Keiko Fujimori was first with a better-than-expected 39 percent, she faces an uphill battle.  A pre-election poll said that more than 50 percent of Peruvians would vote against the daughter of the 1990s dictator who ordered death squads to kill opponents, sent in the military to close the courts and congress, and forcibly sterilized more than 270,000 indigenous women - not to mention rampant corruption.  SMDH.

Russian police say two attackers died and a third blew himself up in an attack on a police station in southern Russia.  This happened in the town of Novoselitskoye in the Stavropol region on the northern Caucuses, where Islamist insurgency bubbled up after the fall of the Soviet Union.  At least four training camps for the 2018 World Cup are located within 100 kilometers of the attack site, raising concerns about security for the event.

Israel will release a 12-year old Palestinian girl from prison early, after she confessed to a stabbing attack in the West Bank.  The girl, who has not even completed the seventh grade, is believed to be the youngest female Palestinian ever sent to an Israeli prison.  The family's lawyers maintained, "If it was a Jewish girl, she wouldn't stay in prison for even one hour because it is forbidden according to the Israeli law."  The West Bank is under Israeli military law that can sentence suspects as young as 12 to prison; but Jewish settlers in the West Bank (as well as Arab and Israeli citizens of Israel) are subject to Israeli civil law, which does not allow anyone under 14 to go to prison.

German prosecutors are actually considering a request from Turkey to charge a comedian who recited a crude poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on TV.  Berlin officially defends Jan Boehmermann's right to free speech, but simultaneous needs Turkey to control the flow of immigrants traveling through on the way to Europe.  In Turkey, the government has opened more than 1,800 cases against critics of the thin-skinned and easily offended Erdogan.
