Sri Lanka said every Wednesday will now be a national holiday, telling people not to work.
South Korea is urging people to start riding their bikes more.

curfew going into place for restaurants and stores.
Your question, what's causing this flurry of new guidelines?
The answer?
It's the energy crisis caused by the war in Iran.
With oil and gas exports from the region largely cut off, countries across the globe are trying to figure out how to cut back.

This past weekend, Saturday Night Live jumped the pond with a new British version of the sketch show.
The cast is British, the writers are British, and unsurprisingly, they're trying a lot of British impressions.
That was Agatha Christie, played by Tina Fey, who was hosting the premiere.
Your question, can you ID this impression from the show's cold open?
That's supposed to be a very awkward Prime Minister Keir Starmer, nervously dialing up President Trump.

They've only greenlit eight episodes to start.
But the Starmer sketch did make an impression back in the U.S., where Trump himself shared it on social media.
And last question.
