Abstract
The article presents world news briefs. The daily wage for Vietnamese factory workers who make stuffed animals that will be sold in the U.S. is $2. Filipino mothers set a new world record for simultaneously breastfeeding their babies in a Manila stadium in order to raise awareness not only of the benefits of breastfeeding, but also of the 16,000 Filipino children who die annually due to formula feeding. According to studies backed up by the United Nations, the value of the world's ecosystems is $33 trillion.
