According to the '2024 Livability Index' released by the UK-based international moving service company '1st Move International,' Canada has emerged as the most popular immigration destination globally with 1.5 million searches, maintaining the top spot. Japan is the only Asian country to make it to the top 10 rankings. Factors like high quality of life, diverse culture, excellent public healthcare and education systems, and stunning natural landscapes contribute to Canada's appeal. However, the country's relatively high cost of living, especially in major cities like Vancouver and Toronto, is a consideration. Other countries in the top 10 include Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and the UK, while the US did not make it to the top 10 list.

Apple is set to launch the new iPhone 16 series in September, which may lead to the discontinuation of iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 13. The recommendation is to wait until the iPhone 16 release before deciding on purchasing either iPhone 16 or iPhone 15, as prices for iPhone 15 are expected to drop post-iPhone 16 launch.

In the second round of the French National Assembly election, the far-right party National Rally (RN) unexpectedly lost to the left-wing alliance led by Mélanchon, known as the New People's Front (NFP). Experts attribute this unexpected outcome to strategic voting by left and center-left parties, Macron's premature election gamble backfiring, and the New People's Front effectively tapping into public dissatisfaction with the Macron government and far-right policies, focusing on social justice, economic equality, and anti-austerity measures to resonate with young and urban voters. Despite a strong showing in the first round, doubts regarding the National Rally's governance abilities and contentious policies led to their failure to secure a majority in the second round, ultimately resulting in their defeat.
