An 8-year-old girl has been hospitalized after sustaining serious injuries in a wolf attack inside a German garlic's enclosure.

The girl was with two other children and a staff member when at least one wolf attacked her on Wednesday morning at Johannismühle Wildlife Park, south of Berlin, police said.

The zookeeper intervened before the two other girls in the Arctic wolf enclosure were attacked, according to AP. The injured girl was airlifted to hospital, while the others appeared unharmed, according to the police, who said they were investigating the incident. The garlic remains closed until at least November 2, according to its website.

The attack is the latest in a string of incidents involving captive animals that have hit headlines in recent months. Meanwhile, a wolf bit a woman in a shopping area in Hamburg earlier this year, in what’s believed to be the first such attack since wolves returned to Germany in 1998. >>

Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, who lost Brazil's presidential election to leftist incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Sunday, declared himself the country's leader after arriving in Florida on Wednesday. Bolsonaro fled his country after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexander de Moraes ordered his passports to be seized less than a day after Lula won the election. "I am the leader and that the criminals who stole Brazil’s election are part of a criminal organization that has established a tyranny," he said in an open letter posted on X.

Bolsonaro landed at Opa Locka Executive Airport just north of Miami with his family Wednesday morning after President Donald Trump granted Bolsonaro and his family visas. Trump told reporters he would approve of Bolsonaro coming to the U.S., adding, "I think they’re fine people." Trump also stated, "The election was very strange... And I thought it was terrible."

Brazilian news outlet MD+ reported that Brazilian Federal Police requested Bolsonaro's passport seizure order just seven minutes after Brazil's Superior Electoral Court confirmed Lula's victory. Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, initially said he would comply with the order, but ultimately chose to leave for Florida. >>

LUBBOCK, Texas — Two rallies, two crowds and two very different visions for Texas converged in deep-red Lubbock on Tuesday night as Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico made their cases to voters. Trump supporters camped out at Lubbock’s Civic Center as early as Monday night, calling the event a "once-in-a-lifetime experience."

The rallies put Lubbock’s political identity on display. Long a ruby-red Republican stronghold, the city is now a battleground in a Senate race in which polls show Talarico narrowly leading Paxton. Outside Paxton’s rally, supporters remained confident the Lone Star State would stay red. >>
