Why S. Korean mothers are opting for C-sections at record rates
기사 요약: 진통에 대한 두려움 등의 이유로 제왕절개 분만을 선호하는 산모들이 많아지고 있다.
[1] When 33-year-old Lee, who is due to give birth in four weeks, made her birth plan, she had no medical complications, no known risks and no family history of difficult pregnancies. But she had already decided: her first child would be delivered by cesarean section.
* due: ~하기로 되어 있는; 예정된
* complication: 합병증
* family history: 가족력
* cesarean section: 제왕절개
[2] Behind this rapid shift lies a combination of social, medical and legal forces — from mothers' desire to avoid labor pain to fears among doctors of legal liability.
* rapid: 빠른
* shift: (위치·입장·방향의) 변화
* avoid: 피하다
* liability: 법적 책임
[3] In online communities, especially those known as mom cafes, stories of childbirth are frequently shared. These posts often emphasize the trauma of labor pains and the relative comfort of planned C-sections, helping to shape public perception of cesarean delivery as a more controllable and less stressful choice.
* frequently: 자주
* emphasize: 강조하다
* planned: 계획된
* shape: (중요한 영향을 미쳐서) 형성하다
[4] "Definitely, C-section," a comment read a post asking what to choose between C-section and natural birth in an online forum for mothers. "There are higher chances to 'fail' with natural birth. Rather than suffering all that pain and then going for a C-section, it's better to go for the 'safe choice.'"
* natural birth: 자연분만
* suffer: 고통받다
* pain: 아픔, 통증, 고통
* go for: ~를 고르다, 선택하다, 시도하다

Tens of thousands take to streets for annual July 12 Orange Order parades

The festivities will be spread across 19 main locations to mark the 334th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne where the Protestant King William of Orange triumphed over the Catholic King James II. It comes after the burning of bonfires at an estimated 300 locations in loyalist neighbourhoods across the region on Thursday and Friday nights. On Sunday morning, an Orange Order parade has been permitted to pass Ardoyne shops in north Belfast restricted to one band and 50 members of the order. It is a return parade at a former flashpoint which traditionally took place on the evening of July 12 often resulting in violent scenes. Meanwhile, the traditional July 13 events organised by the Royal Black Preceptory in the village of Scarva, Co Armagh will take place on Monday. The event includes a parade as well as a sham fight between actors playing rival monarchs William and James. While most of the bonfires passed off peacefully, there was condemnation after effigies of migrants in a boat were burned on a bonfire in Moygashel, Co Tyrone. Pictures of the Irish rap band Kneecap and Irish flags were also burned on other pyres. But the most contentious bonfire was located on a site containing asbestos and close to an electricity sub station off the Donegall Road in south Belfast. Of all the loyal order parades to take place on Saturday, around 30 have been officially categorised as sensitive by the Parades Commission. Locations of sensitive parades this year include Belfast, Coleraine, Keady, Dunloy, Rasharkin, Strabane, Newtownabbey, Maghera, Newtownbutler, Portadown, Glengormley and Bellaghy. More than 4,000 police officers and police staff will be working on July 12. On the 11th night, around 1,200 officers were deployed to monitor public safety at bonfires. The cost of policing parades and bonfires in Northern Ireland through spring and summer was £6.1 million last year, a figure that was up £1.5 million on the previous year. The bill, which covers the period April 1 to August 31, also includes the cost of policing republican commemorations around Easter and events to mark the mid-August anniversary of the introduction of internment without trial during the Troubles. The PSNI expects the costs in 2025 to be higher still. This is due to falling police numbers and the resultant increased reliance on paying overtime to ensure enough officers are on duty for the events. Chief Constable Jon Boutcher has urged mutual respect in the marking of events. 'These celebrations and others that occur throughout the year are a valued part of Northern Ireland's local history and culture,' he said. 'They can and should be occasions where communities come together in a spirit of inclusiveness and pride, through local traditions. 'Mutual respect is the foundation of strong, safe communities. 'There is no place for hate or intimidation—only space for celebration that welcomes and celebrates not divides. 'Our officers will be on the ground throughout the weekend, working in partnership with community leaders, event organisers, and local representatives to support lawful, peaceful, and family-friendly events. However where necessary, we will take firm and proportionate action to keep people safe. 'Our priority remains the safety and wellbeing of everyone. 'Let's ensure that this weekend reflects the very best of our communities: proud, respectful, and united.'

Saturday briefing: Crystal Palace consider appeal over UEFA ruling

Nottingham Forest are considering legal action against Tottenham following an alleged illegal approach by the London club for Morgan Gibbs-White. World champions Spain marched into the Women's European Championship quarter-finals after beating Group B rivals Italy 3-1 in Bern. Crystal Palace have confirmed they are considering an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after being demoted to the Conference League for breaching UEFA's rules on multi-club ownership. Palace qualified for the Europa League thanks to their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City in May, but missed a March 1 deadline to demonstrate that American co-owner John Textor, also a part-owner at Lyon, had no control or influence over more than one club in the same competition. UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) determined that Textor's interest in both Palace and Lyon meant only one of the clubs could enter the Europa League, with Lyon's higher league position edging out Palace. A Palace statement read: 'Crystal Palace FC are extremely dismayed by UEFA's decision to exclude the club from the Europa League. 'It's clear for everyone to see that we are not part of a multi-club operation and never have been. Further with the completion of the sale of Eagle football's shareholding to Woody Johnson there will be zero possibility of a conflict of interest once the competition begins. 'We will continue to press our case and work with UEFA to achieve the fair and just outcome so that we may take our rightful place in the Europa League, as well as taking legal advice to consider our options, including an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).' Nottingham Forest are considering legal action against Tottenham over an alleged illegal approach for Morgan Gibbs-White. The England international was set for a medical in north London on Friday after Spurs were understood to have triggered Gibbs-White's £60million release clause. However, Forest have accused the Europa League winners of contacting Gibbs-White directly rather than making an official approach. The PA news agency understands Forest are furious and, in response, are drawing up legal papers with a view to reporting Spurs to the Premier League. As result, the deal appears to be on hold, although Forest are powerless to stop it happening if Spurs go through the proper channels. Lauren Hemp feels England gained the respect they deserved after turning around their Women's European Championship defence with a resounding 4-0 group-stage victory over the Netherlands. The Lionesses will reach the quarter-finals with victory over Wales on Sunday night in St Gallen and the mood in camp is decidedly more jovial than it was following their opening loss to France, which had left them in a perilous position. Forward Hemp said: 'It was important that we turned it around and we proved to the fans, we proved to everyone, that we're here to compete and we're here to win. 'Obviously we never want to lose, but it was important that we made sure that we got ourselves right back in it, and I think we gained the respect that we deserved as a group.' Spain made it three straight wins at Euro 2025 after hitting back to beat Italy 3-1 in Bern and finish top of Group B. Italy took an early lead through Elisabetta Oliviero, but Spain responded through Athenea del Castillo and Patricia Guijarro before half-time and Esther Gonzalez's stoppage-time effort sealed victory. The world champions had already qualified for the quarter-finals after thrashing Portugal 5-0 and Belgium 6-2 in their previous two group games and will now face hosts Switzerland. Italy also qualified for the last eight after finishing second in the group having taken four points from their first two matches. Germany and Sweden will battle it out against each other in Zurich to see who will finish top of Group C at the Women's European Championships. Both teams have already qualified for the quarter-finals, while Poland face Denmark in Lucerne, where both teams will bid for their first tournament win in their final group match.

Box Office Queen Becomes the Highest-Grossing Lead Actor of All Time

Box Office Queen Becomes the Highest-Grossing Lead Actor of All Time originally appeared on Parade. Scarlett Johansson just made box office history. The Oscar-nominated actress, 40, has officially become the highest-grossing lead actor of all time, surpassing her fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe alums Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., according to verified data from The Numbers. The milestone comes on the heels of a massive opening weekend for Jurassic World Rebirth, which debuted July 3 and earned $147.3 million domestically and $318.3 million globally through Sunday. That colossal opening pushed Johansson's total global box office haul for leading and ensemble-lead roles to an astonishing $14.61 billion — edging Jackson's $14.60 billion and Downey Jr.'s $14.3 billion. What's more: Johansson got there with just 36 films playing lead roles, compared to Jackson's 71 and Downey's 45. Her average worldwide gross stands at $405.9 million per film, significantly outpacing both actors. Many of Johansson's biggest hits have come from her decade-long portrayal of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in the MCU, including Avengers: Endgame ($2.7B), Infinity War ($2B), The Avengers ($1.5B), and Age of Ultron ($1.4B). Outside of Marvel, Johansson headlined major earners like The Jungle Book ($951M), Sing ($631M), and Lucy ($457M). Her latest win comes from a new franchise. In Jurassic World Rebirth, Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a hardened mercenary brought into the action by a pharmaceutical executive (Rupert Friend) to team up with a paleontologist (Jonathan Bailey) on a high-stakes mission involving dinosaur DNA. Clearly, Johansson is no longer just Marvel's most elite assassin. She's Hollywood's most bankable star. Period. Jurassic World Rebirth is now playing in theaters nationwide. Box Office Queen Becomes the Highest-Grossing Lead Actor of All Time first appeared on Parade on Jul 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
