Is Jessica Radcliffe Orca attack video real? Here's the reality behind viral TikTok video
Jessica Radcliffe, a marine trainer, was attacked and killed by an orca, according to a viral video circulating online. The video cited in a report by the Hindustan Times, which gained widespread attention on TikTok, claimed that the '23-year-old' was attacked during a performance. It also stated that Radcliffe died ten minutes after staff rescued her. Most of these videos, shared mainly on Facebook and TikTok, do not specify what actually happened. Although many videos circulate, there are no media reports of Jessica Radcliffe being attacked by an orca. Vocal Media also noted that there is no credible evidence, such as obituaries or marine park statements. Kenya's The Star reported that the voices in the video seem AI-generated. Additionally, the HT report stated that a marine trainer named Jessica Radcliffe was not found online; hence, it seems to be a fabricated person. Although this orca attack report is false, there have been previous cases where trainers were killed by orcas, most famously the Dawn Brancheau incident. In 2010, Tilikum, the orca, killed the senior trainer during a SeaWorld show in Orlando. Dawn's death was featured in the 2013 documentary Blackfish, which showed the ethics of confining large mammals, the HT report noted. A year prior to his accident, Alexis Martinez, a Spanish trainer, was killed after an orca named Keto bumped into him during a rehearsal. Meanwhile, in 1991, a Canadian trainer was also killed when three orcas dragged him underwater. Although the viral videos use real-world incidents to make the 'Jessica Radcliffe' death appear genuine, there is no evidence that such an attack occurred or that Jessica Radcliffe, a marine trainer, actually exists. Orcas, commonly called killer whales, are known to be highly intelligent and social predators that inhabit oceans around the world. They are reportedly not considered dangerous to humans on a large scale; however, most fatalities have been caused by captive orcas.

Video Further, could not find any marine trainer by the name of Jessica Radcliffe either. She seems to be a fabricated person. Past cases of orca attacks While this orca attack report is fake, there have been past instances where trainers have been killed by orcas – most notably the Dawn Brancheau case. In 2010, the senior trainer was killed by Tilikum, the orca, when performing a SeaWorld show in Orlando. Dawn's death became the subject of the 2013 documentary Blackfish, which looked at the ethics of keeping larger mammals in captivity. A year before his accident, Alexis Martinez, a Spanish trainer, was killed when orca Keto rammed into him during a rehearsal. Back in 1991, a Canadian trainer was also killed after being dragged underwater by three orcas. Thus, while the viral clips rely on real world incidents to pass off the 'Jessica Radcliffe' death as true, there is no proof such an attack took place or that Jessica Radcliffe – marine trainer – exists! Orcas, known as killer whales, are highly intelligent, social predators found all over the world.

Egypt Ranks Second Globally in Exports of Temporarily Preserved Vegetables
Taarek Refaat Egypt has solidified its position as a global agricultural powerhouse, securing the second place worldwide in the export of temporarily preserved vegetables (HS Code 071190) for the year 2024, according to a new report from the Food Export Council. The country exported 54,000 metric tons of vegetables preserved temporarily, a category that includes products prepared for further processing, generating $66 million in export revenue. This accounted for a 15.4% share of global exports in the category, a significant milestone that reflects Egypt's fast-growing competitiveness in processed agricultural goods. Egypt's performance in this sector has been consistently improving, with the report noting an annual value growth rate of 15% and a volume growth rate of 12% between 2020 and 2024. On a year-over-year basis, exports increased 10% in value between 2023 and 2024, despite global trade fluctuations, a sign of resilient supply chains, stable production infrastructure, and growing global confidence in Egyptian agricultural products. Top Export Destinations in 2024 The report identified five key markets that accounted for 83% of Egypt's exports in this category: Italy – $33 million (51%) United States – $8 million (12%) Germany – $7 million (10%) Spain – $4 million (5%) Russia – $3 million (5%) These figures underscore Egypt's growing reputation as a reliable supplier of safe, high-quality, and standard-compliant agricultural products, particularly to advanced economies with stringent food safety regulations. Positioning Egypt for Future Expansion The Food Export Council emphasized that the sector's momentum is opening new opportunities for global market expansion, especially in response to rising international demand for sustainable and traceable food sources. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

Egypt's Core Inflation Rises Slightly to 11.6%, Says Central Bank
Taarek Refaat Egypt's annual core inflation rate edged up to 11.6% in July 2025, up from 11.4% in June, according to a statement released Sunday by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). The data, which underscores ongoing inflationary pressures in the economy despite recent cooling trends, arrives amid cautious optimism about the broader economic outlook. The monthly core inflation, which strips out volatile items such as food and energy, recorded a deflation of -0.3% in July. This contrasts with a sharper monthly deflation of -0.5% in July 2024, and -0.2% in June 2025, showing a potential stabilization in consumer prices. In parallel, Egypt's official statistics agency, the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), reported that the monthly headline inflation rate for urban consumers stood at -0.5% in July 2025, slightly improving from 0.4% in July 2024, and down from -0.1% in June 2025. On a year-on-year basis, urban headline inflation slowed to 13.9% in July, compared to 14.9% in June. While still high, this decline offers a modest sign that the government's monetary tightening and subsidy adjustments may be gradually taking effect. The figures reflect a complex balancing act for the Central Bank, which has been grappling with the aftermath of global supply chain shocks, local currency depreciation, and structural fiscal reforms. The narrowing gap between core and headline inflation suggests that while food prices may be stabilizing, underlying price pressures in other sectors remain persistent. Analysts expect the bank's Monetary Policy Committee to weigh these numbers carefully in its next interest rate decision, especially as Egypt continues to navigate a post-IMF reform program and seeks to maintain investor confidence. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video
Rana Atef On Saturday, social media has been flooded with claims that an orca killed whale trainer Jessica Radcliffe during a live show. People also claimed that the accident was caught on camera. But there's no truth to it. Fact-checks reveal Radcliffe is a completely fictional character. No police reports, marine park statements, or credible footage exist to back the claim. The viral posts follow a familiar hoax formula: clickbait headlines, old unrelated videos, and AI-generated images repackaged as breaking news. Part of why the story fooled many is its similarity to real tragedies, such as the deaths of Dawn Brancheau (2010) and Alexis Martínez (2009). These genuine cases give the hoax a false air of credibility, making it sound plausible to anyone aware of the risks of working with orcas. Experts warn that while this may seem like a harmless viral tale, it distorts public understanding of genuine marine safety issues and animal welfare debates. It also undermines trust in reliable news sources and exploits the memory of real victims, adding to the pain of their families. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
