IPD: Man with multiple warrants found hiding on roof of two-story home
IDER, Ala. (WHNT) — The Ider Police Department said it arrested a man who had multiple arrest warrants after he was found hiding on the roof of a home Friday. The Ider Police Department said officers were conducting an ongoing investigation related to the theft of stolen property. During the course of the investigation, officers approached the residence of Freddie Bradford in an attempt to speak with him and take him into custody on six outstanding felony and misdemeanor warrants from three separate agencies. As officers approached the residence, IPD said Bradford fled the scene on foot. Later that evening, officers received information that Bradford had returned to the home. Additionally, Ider officers responded and surrounded the residence. During a search of the property, officers watched as Bradford hid on the roof of the two-story home. He attempted to flee by jumping from the roof but was quickly apprehended and taken into custody without further incident. During the arrest, officers seized a variety of illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia from the residence. 'It's probably not the best idea to mix drugs, eluding the police, and jumping off buildings into your weekend routine. If you're going to act dumb, you better be tough,' Ider Chief Malone said.

Scientists floored after tracking eagle's flight throughout vast journey: 'Flying by instinct'
Researchers discovered that the Pallas's fish eagle returns to the same spot in an Indian national park for its annual breeding season. According to the Hindu, the eagle has been flying to Assam's Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve to breed for five years in a row. It's one of the largest fishing eagles and is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The tracked individual, a bird called Ider, exhibits reverse migration habits. Kaziranga acts as its home base for breeding, but it flies back to Mongolia after each breeding season. Two months after hatching, the baby birds are strong enough to fly to Mongolia as well. Dr. Sachin Ranade, one of the scientists tracking the flight patterns from the Bombay Natural History Society, said, "They don't need parental guidance, flying by instinct to navigate the [Central Asian Flyway]." Ranade explained, "We observed two chicks in the tagged bird's nest. Although we cannot say how many chicks it has sired, we can conclude it bred every year in Kaziranga for five successive years." According to the Hindu, it's estimated that only 2,500 mature Pallas's eagles exist in the wild. Seeing it return to Kaziranga each year is a positive sign for the species. Kaziranga's field director, Sonali Ghosh, noted, "Kaziranga is one of the best locations on Earth to observe this bird." It's also one of the safest places. Kaziranga is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a protected area, home to some of India's rarest creatures. One-horned rhinos, elephants, wild water buffalo, tigers, and swamp deer all reside here. Seeing the Pallas's eagle breed here means the young birds will have a safe place to grow before flying to Mongolia. Places like Kaziranga are essential for protecting biodiversity. The more species within an ecosystem, the more resilient it is. All creatures, including humans, rely on biodiversity for food and water security, disease control, and climate stability. Protecting birds like this eagle and preserving areas like Kaziranga help foster a cooler, healthier planet. According to the New Indian Express, Ghosh said in a statement that this development "highlights the importance of Kaziranga as a critical habitat for migratory birds [and] the need for continued conservation efforts to protect such endangered species." Hopefully, the Pallas's eagles will safely return to Kaziranga for many more breeding seasons.

Ider: Late to the World review – the glorious sound of letting go
Let the sky darken with champagne corks – there's a new Ider album. Megan Markwick and Lily Somerville have made sharply intelligent synth-pop plucked from the pages of their diaries for more than a decade, and this is a welcome third instalment. The English duo have always been particularly good at pellucid harmonising and piquant lyrics – both in abundance here. Smart singles Unlearn and Girl are well chosen, seeding the album's themes of letting the past go to embrace the future and the importance of celebrating femininity in all its forms. They're also solid steel bangers. Perhaps there's a touch too much therapy speak, but as the pair have pointed out, that's how so many of us navigate the world now. And they're generally very good at covering tricky topics in their songs, gilded with generous charm. Disordered eating, abortion rights and a wide range of shady male behaviours are eyeballed. 'I wanna throw your shit in the middle of the street… Delete the files of your solo EP,' they threaten on the darkly hilarious You Don't Know How to Drive. As always with Ider, you believe every word.
