An influencer has been arrested at an airport after shooting a firework through a child's bedroom window on New Year's Eve. Atallah Younes, 23, was detained at Berlin airport on Saturday as he tried to flee the city following the shocking act. The arrest comes after the video blew up in Germany - with Younes then claiming he was the victim of racist attacks.

The world map most of us grew up with has been distorting our perception of the planet for centuries. 🌍

The Mercator projection, developed in the 1500s, dramatically enlarges land masses as they get closer to the poles. That’s why places like Greenland and Russia can look enormous compared with Africa, even though Africa is far larger than the map makes it seem.

The Equal Earth projection was designed to preserve the relative area of countries and continents while still presenting the world as a familiar flat map. The result is a much different picture of how large places actually are.

To put Africa’s scale into perspective: it covers roughly 30 million km², enough area to fit the United States, China, India and several other countries inside it.
