  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n**1.5 million:** The _number_ of Armenians killed by Ottoman Turkss during World War I, per one estimate, in what historians consider to be a genocide. Why mention this now? US Vice President **JD Vance** visited a memorial to the mass killing in Yerevan on Tuesday. His office then _posted_ about it on social media, before deleting it. The reversal may have something to do with the US’s security partnership with Turkey – Ankara opposes describing the killings as a “genocide.”\n\n****\n\n* * *\n\n**9:** The number of people killed during a _mass shooting_ – part of which took place at a school – in the remote Canadian town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on Tuesday, in what was the deadliest school-related shooting in the country _in decades_. The only suspect, who was a woman, was found dead at the school from “self-inflicted wounds.”\n\n**5:** The number of _consecutive months_ in which Argentina’s month-on-month inflation rate has risen, following the release of statistics yesterday. Prices rose 2.9% last month compared with December. President **Javier Milei** ’s record in cutting Argentina’s notoriously high inflation had been one of his _strengths_, but the recent uptick could undermine this.\n\n**10 million:** The proposed _population cap_ that Swiss voters will vote on in June, the government announced on Wednesday, after the right-wing People’s Party put forward the policy idea. The proposal would cap immigration once the country surpasses that number – the current population is 9.1 million. A December poll found that 48% of voters support the measure.",
