Our daily adventure around the world

🇦🇺 An Australian man and his dog were rescued after three months stranded at sea. Timothy Shaddock, 54, and his dog Bella were discovered aboard an incapacitated catamaran by a Mexican tuna boat that was traveling through the Pacific Ocean ~1,200 miles from land, the boat’s owners said on Monday. Shaddock told Australia's 9News television that he and his dog survived on raw fish and rainwater after a storm damaged his vessel and wiped out its electronics back in April.

🇰🇵🇺🇸 North Korea detained a US soldier who crossed its southern border without authorization yesterday. US military officials confirmed the soldier is Private 2nd Class Travis King, who had served time at a detention facility in South Korea and was released about a week ago. King was escorted to a South Korean airport yesterday for a flight back to America to face disciplinary action – but after parting ways with his escort at Customs, King left the airport and somehow joined a tour group at the North Korean border, then crossed into the country once he got there, per US officials.

🇮🇷 Iran’s morality police resumed patrols following a 10-month hiatus. Iranian authorities on Sunday announced a new campaign to force all domestic women to cover their hair with a hijab, prompting Iran’s morality police – which are tasked with enforcing such laws – to return to the streets. The morality police had pulled back from operating last September, following mass anti-government protests that began after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in their custody. The demonstrations largely stopped earlier this year following a police crackdown in which 500+ protesters were killed and nearly 20,000 were arrested – though many Iranian women have continued to flout the official dress code, especially in major cities.
