Washington Post reports on rescued Serbian eagle Feliks

Jul 1, 2026

The broadcast covers the rescue of Feliks, a young eastern imperial eagle from Serbia tracked since 2017 amid low breeding pairs. He migrated, was captured by poachers in Syria, sold illegally via WhatsApp, smuggled by refugees into Lebanon in a potato sack amid rainstorms, held at a sanctuary, then retrieved after failed attempts by the Serbian army using UN peacekeepers in Lebanon and flown home on a military plane in June 2026. Feliks is now quarantined in a Serbian zoo awaiting a new transmitter for release. Sourcing relies on conservation groups like the Lebanese Association for Migratory Birds, Serbian experts, and army involvement; no named on-camera guests beyond quotes.

Washington Post video frames Powell's Fed term end as resistance to Trump

Jun 16, 2026

The piece uses the High Noon analogy and praises Powell for resisting political pressure. It draws on public statements, video footage, and Trump's quotes without named expert guests or opposing viewpoints.
