As of June 2024, global searches for the keyword "generative AI" had experienced an increase in the previous year. The search terms for generative artificial intelligence surged in popularity from mid-February to early March 2024, hitting a score of 100 index points in the week ending March 3.

Not only were the French legislative elections of 2024 one of the most unexpected elections of the year, but they also returned one of the most unexpected results. The elections were called when President Macron dissolved the French parliament following the surge in support for the far-right party, the National Rally, in the European Parliamentary elections in early June. The first round of voting took place on June 30, with the National Rally coming out ahead with the largest vote share, at 29 percent, while Macron's party (around twenty percent) was the third most popular party behind a new left-wing alliance called the New Popular Front (28 percent).
Due to the French electoral system, this meant that many more races than usual went to a second round of voting on July 7. The results of this, however, saw the New Popular Front emerge as the most popular coalition, with 182 seats. The Ensemble Alliance also moved into second place, while the National Rally was in third. However, as no coalition has won the 289 seats required to establish a ruling majority, the assembly is in a deadlock, and it remains to be seen whether these parties will merge to form a government, and who the new French Prime Minister may be.
What is the most subscribed YouTube channel?
MrBeast made the first place in the ranking of the most-subscribed YouTube channels in June 2024. With 296 million subscribers, the U.S. based videographer and internet personality managed to surpass Indian music network T-Series, which held the number one place for several years, and sat at 268 million subscriber as of the examined period.
YouTube was launched in 2005 as a platform for sharing user-generated videos such as vlogs, tutorials, or original series. The site grew rapidly and reportedly had 100 million video views per day and more than 65 thousand daily uploads only a year later. As of February 2020, more than 500 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute, up from a mere 24 hours of content uploads per minute in 2010.
In the third quarter of 2022, YouTube’s ad revenue amounted to over seven billion U.S. dollars. Through its Partner Program, YouTube also rewards uploaders of popular videos with a share of the advertising revenues the content generates. This, paired with the fact that many users of the video sharing platform tend to have favorite channels that they revisit regularly, has given rise to another phenomenon: YouTube celebrities. Although some of these well-known figures were discovered on the website but then carved a successful career outside of YouTube, for many others the site is their primary platform for delivering content and staying in contact with fans, all while signing lucrative deals or promotional partnerships.
In November 2022, MrBeast surpassed long-standing most subscribed YouTuber PewDiePie, having reached approximately 112 million subscribers. Due to the high number of subscribers and even higher number of views, these out-of-the-box stars not only have millions of fans, but also considerable earnings from their YouTube activities. In 2021, MrBeast was estimated to have earned around 54 million U.S. dollars, topping the ranking of the highest-earning YouTube creators. The ranking also included social media personality Jake Paul and Mark Fischbach, as well as Ryan Kaji from Ryan's World (formerly known as ToysReview), who started his YouTube career reviewing toys at three years old.

In 2020, India's FMCG market size was about 110 billion U.S. dollars, a significant increase from the previous year. The online FMCG market was estimated to reach over 615 billion dollars in 2027.
FMCG Industry in India
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) - alternatively known as consumer packaged goods (CPG) are products that are sold quickly and generally consumed at a regular basis, as opposed to durable goods such as kitchen appliances that are replaced over a longer period of time. The FMCG industry primarily engages in production, distribution, and marketing of consumer packaged goods. This category is comprised of food and dairy products, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, household products, packaged food products, and many others.
Trends in FMCG Industry
The fast-moving consumer goods sector is an important contributor to India's GDP. India's FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy, creating employment for more than three million people. Its principal constituents are household care, personal care, and food and beverages. The market is expected to maintain a high growth rate as the population (particularly the middle class and rural segments) converts to branded products. In 2023, retail e-commerce sales in India generated 51 billion U.S. dollars. That figure is expected to increase to over 100 billion U.S. dollars by 2029.

A global tourism powerhouse
By developing airport infrastructure and calibrating new direct flights, Mexico has set international tourism high on its priorities list. At the forefront of Mexico's spike in international tourism is the FONATUR, or Mexico's National Fund for Tourism Development. The tourism body worked in the expansion of Cancun's airport and other four key tourist airports in the country. Plus, Mexico City's airport added new international direct flights in the 2010s, resulting in being rated as the best internationally connected airport in Latin America in 2019. With this and other developments in this sector, the North American country managed to rank among the top 20 destinations in the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Ranking that year.
South America's tourism leader
Through its geographically diverse landscape and globally recognized wine industry, Argentina has grown its international tourism sector. The influx of foreign visitors to Argentina can in some way be attributed to the country's air-travel infrastructure. The national air carrier, Aerolineas Argentinas, was one of the top airline operating in Latin America in 2019. That same year, passenger traffic to Argentinian airports grew by four percent. Though in April 2020, in the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the arrival of international air travel tourists to Argentina came to a complete halt, ensuing a similar fate of the global tourism industry.
