You can look forward to good news from around the world: A new non-opioid painkiller has been approved in the US for the first time in more than 20 years. Interpol investigators uncovered a wildlife smuggling operation and rescued 20,000 animals. And: In Australia, Singapore and Canada, empty offices are being converted into indoor farms growing fruit, vegetables and herbs.
