A New Zealand charity issued an apology on Wednesday after distributing pineapple-flavoured candies laced with methamphetamine. Auckland City Mission, which provides essentials to those in need, was alerted to the issue after complaints about the candies' taste.

Street artist Banksy unveiled what may be his final mural in a series spread across London. The artwork, featuring a gorilla freeing a sea lion at the capital's zoo, follows other animal-themed pieces.

China is investigating widespread corruption in its funeral services industry, involving illegal fees and cemetery-related offences. Recent scandals highlight the severity of graft within the sector.

McDonald's France humorously suggested they might remove curry sauce from their menu until the next Olympics. The joke refers to U.S. basketball player Stephen Curry, who led his team to victory over France, denying them a gold medal at the Paris Games.
