Pluxee tops Q1 revenue expectations on client retention, new contracts
(Reuters) -French voucher and benefits company Pluxee posted 12.1% organic growth in its first-quarter operating revenue on Wednesday, beating market expectations, aided by sound customer retention and new client acquisitions in its main business. Its operating revenue was 249 million euros ($257.8 million) in the three months through Nov. 30, above analysts' average forecast of 244 million euros in a company-provided consensus. The double-digit organic growth was driven by a strong performance in Employee Benefits, Pluxee's biggest unit that saw 10.4% growth in the period, CEO Aurélien Sonet said in a press release.

South Korean court clears government, adoption agency of liability in adoptee's deportation from US
A South Korean court on Wednesday cleared the government and an adoption agency of all liability in a lawsuit filed by a 49-year-old Korean man whose traumatic adoption journey led to an abusive childhood in the United States and ultimately his deportation to South Korea in 2016 after legal troubles. In exonerating the South Korean government over the case of Adam Crapser, whose U.S. adoptive parents never secured his citizenship, the Seoul High Court overturned a 2023 lower court ruling that ordered his adoption agency, Holt Children’s Services, to pay him 100 million won ($68,600) in damages.

Wildfires rage in Los Angeles, forcing tens of thousands to flee
A rapidly growing wildfire raged across an upscale section of Los Angeles on Tuesday, destroying numerous buildings and creating traffic jams as more than 30,000 people evacuated, while a second blaze doubled in size some 30 miles inland. At least 2,921 acres (1,182 hectares) of the Pacific Palisades area between the coastal towns of Santa Monica and Malibu had burned by the Palisades Fire, officials said, after they had already warned of extreme fire danger from powerful winds that arrived following extended dry weather. The second blaze dubbed the Eaton Fire broke out some 30 miles (50 km) inland near Pasadena and doubled in size to 400 acres (162 hectares) in a few hours, according to Cal Fire.

Narayanan as the new head of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the government said on Tuesday, a key role as India works to become a space superpower. Narayanan takes over from S. Somanath, who became chairman in 2022 and has been credited with making the 54-year-old space agency more approachable and opening it up to engage with the next generation. Former colleagues describe Narayanan, who joined ISRO in 1984, as a mild mannered but "strict" scientist with a track record of getting things done.
