Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:00 GMT

New York (CNN) — Something wild has happened with turkey prices that’s going to make the cost of cooking the Thanksgiving meal more palatable to families on a tight budget.“There’s been a big collapse in retail prices for turkey,” said Michael Swanson, chief agriculture economist with Wells Fargo Agri-Food Institute.“Because turkey prices are down so much, and that’s the centerpiece of the meal, celebrating Thanksgiving at home will be more advantageous this year for families,” he said.Store prices for the 10-to 15-pound turkey, typically the star of the holiday dinner, have dropped 13% in October compared to the same month last year, said Swanson.The decrease in shelf prices for the bird also coincides with an even more dramatic 29% slump in the wholesale price for turkey this October versus a year ago, according to Wells Fargo’s new Thanksgiving food report, which was released Wednesday.The annual report analyzes the outlook for key grocery items – such as turkey, cranberries, and...

Putin officially opens door to new nuke testing

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:00 GMT

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday signed a law effectively revoking Russia’s ratification of a key nuclear treaty, opening up the possibility the Kremlin could conduct new atomic weapons testing. Putin previously said revoking Russia’s 2000 ratification of the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CNTBT) is a move that would merely “mirror” the position taken by the United States, which has signed but never ratified the treaty.The revocation was approved unanimously by the lower and upper houses of Russia’s parliament last month, before being sent to Putin for final approval. He signed it on Thursday, Russian state news agencies reported.Russian officials have said that exiting the treaty does not mean the Kremlin will resume nuclear testing and that it would only consider doing so if the U.S. decides to do the same, but Moscow’s decision raised some concerns among analysts.Putin also said in October that he was “not ready” to discuss whether...

Thai workers caught up in Hamas attack faced with the dilemma of whether to flee or stay in Israel

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:45:00 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — When Hamas militants stormed into Israeli villages and towns along the border of the blockaded Gaza Strip last month, many Thai migrant agricultural workers shared the fate of hundreds of Israelis who were killed, kidnapped or forced to run for their lives.

At least 22 are believed to have been abducted by Hamas militants, who rule Gaza. Many more may be missing and 32 have been reported killed. Like many other Thai laborers in Israel, Natthaporn Onkeaw had been his family’s main breadwinner, sending money home regularly after going to Israel to work on a kibbutz in 2021. The 26-year-old was among those abducted by Hamas, said his mother, 47-year-old Thongkun Onkeaw, who lives in a poor rural area in northeastern Thailand near the Laotian border.He was one of the few Thai captives pictured in a photo released by Hamas whose nam...
