This might be the last Caveman on earth: Travel vlogger's viral video shows a man in Yemen living away from modernity
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel On a rocky shore in Yemen , one man lives a life far from the internet, screens. He lives a raw life. A travel vlogger named Colin recently posted a video of him meeting Aliah, a 62-year-old man living on the rocky shores of Socotra, a remote island in new viral video introduces the man who lives electricity, phones, or modern comforts. He fishes by hand, sleeps in a cave, and lives by the rhythm of the and the internet called him 'The Last Caveman on Earth.' In the caption, the vlogger writes, "Meet Aliah, the 62-year-old caveman of Yemen. He lives on the rocky shores of Socotra, surviving off the sea with nothing but what nature gives him. He speaks broken English, taught by years of curious visitors because really, who wouldn't want to meet a caveman in 2025? He sleeps in a cave, fishes by hand, and walks barefoot over jagged rock like it's sand. His days are measured by the tides and not time. No phone. No electricity. Just the rhythm of wind and water. And still, he smiles like he knows something the rest of us forgot."Aliah only wears a loincloth and handpicked seashell for accessories. He speaks openly about his life in the video. The man claims to have 15 children, nine of whom are dead. He also shows the vlogger his way of life, walking around the landscape with him and even sharing moments of laughter and many people were fascinated by Aliah's lifestyle, others pointed out something important: Aliah is not a 'caveman'. He is likely an from an indigenous tribe trying to live traditionally. Some social media users say calling him a caveman can be misleading or even disrespectful. Another user pointed out how "there are literally millions of people who live in caves. In China, Mexico, Jordan, Tunisia, Turkiye etc."Whether he's called a caveman or not, Aliah's way of living surely made many people pause and think.

Trump expands ban on transgender rights: VA denies fertility treatment for veterans under new rules
Transgender veterans barred from fertility treatment Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel When US President Donald Trump returned to the White House, one of his first acts was to sign an executive order to ban transgenders from participating in the military. Now months later, the Department of Veterans Affairs followed suit with a ban on medical insurance coverage for gender-affirming care, reports NewsWeek.A leaked email from a person at the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) revealed that transgender veterans eligible for health benefits will no longer receive financial coverage for egg- and sperm-freezing fertility treatments. The email shows the department will no longer cover the costs for those transgender veterans preparing for gender dysphoria treatment and seeking cryopreservation. Dsyphoria treatment is a process in which eggs or sperm (gametes) are frozen and stored to be thawed for later since Donald Trump has returned to office, he has taken a slew of actions regarding transgender people, including signing an executive order stating that there are only two unchangeable sexes and another attempting to ban transgender women from competing in women's sports. He also signed an order aimed at restricting access to puberty blockers and other gender care for people under age 19 with some of his actions sparking legal challenges in the March, it was announced in the VA specifically that the department began phasing out treatment for gender dysphoria following Trump's executive order recognizing only two sexes. However, the VA stated that transgender veterans would still have access to VA health care the email now indicates a shift from the previous policy. "On yesterday's (6/16/2025) National Fertility Interdisciplinary Teams Office Hours call, it was announced that VA will no longer pay for cryopreservation of gametes for a medical indication if it involves transgender veterans seeking cryopreservation in preparation for treatment of Gender Dysphoria or Gender Identity Disorder. This will reportedly affect new authorizations and will not disrupt cryopreservation that has already been initiated," the email viewed by NewsWeek added that according to another senior official in the Veterans Health Administration "the change is reportedly already in effect and an official announcement will be forthcoming" and advised the department to "hold on authorizing any new cryopreservation for medical indications related to gender dysphoria/gender identity disorder" while waiting for further guidance."We want to avoid a situation where veterans could be told they are approved for cryo, only to find out after the fact that VA cannot pay for care they received," the email Keith, the founder and executive director of the Michigan-based transgender charity Stand With Trans, said the policy was "discrimination.""Clearly, the rights of the trans community are the target of attack," she told Newsweek. "It doesn't matter whether someone is an adult, a minor, a veteran, a professional, or other, if one is trans identified, they are seeing rights being taken away one by one. It is deplorable. If one class of people can receive treatment paid for with their benefits, then other classes of people should receive the same. This is why we have the equal protection clause in our Constitution."No one should be excluded from a particular treatment because they are transgender. This is the very definition of discrimination."This comes days after the Trump administration denied reporting by The Guardian that said new VA hospitals could refuse care to veterans based on factors like marital status and political affiliation due to an executive order by President Guardian earlier Monday published a report saying VA hospitals are implementing new rules in response to Trump's executive order in January, which would permit workers to deny care to veterans based on characteristics not protected by federal House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly adamantly denied The Guardian's reporting. Writing on social platform X, Kelly addressed the article's writer, Aaron Glantz, saying, 'Aaron, this is a totally FALSE story that The Guardian should retract immediately. Fearmongering with our Veterans to try to score clicks for your failing 'news outlet' is pathetic and shameful.'
