The next UN climate summit will be held in a city with so few hotel rooms that public schools, military barracks and "love motels" will be used as makeshift hostels. This will attract a different audience as in the Sharm el-Sheikh, Dubai and Baku COPs. www.economist.com/the-americas...

The most depressing about the new "Black mirror" season is this episode where you have an old man looking back at poor decisions he took when he was young, and I expected that the flashbacks would bring us back to the 1960s- but we ended up in the early 1990s instead.

This is alarming. The US president is personally stating plans to remove people he personally deems to be "home-grown terrorists" to indefinite imprisonment overseas The same prison where he claims authority to send anyone, in secret and without criminal charges or opportunity for appeal

Can't bring an 8th amendment claim if you've kidnapped off the street and sent to a foreign torture camp before anybody is aware of it.

This is terrifying! Trump admin wrongly deports a man to gulag in El Salvador. Supreme Court says admin must effectuate his return. Presidents of El Salvador & USA say they wont do so. If this stands, what's to stop Trump from abducting ANYONE, sending to prison abroad with NO recourse??

I am old enough to remember how very wise people told us it was absurd to pretend that liberal democracy itself was at stake during the most recent US presidential elections.

Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist who combined gritty realism with playful erotica and depictions of the struggle for individual liberty in Latin America, while also writing essays that made him one of the most influential political commentators in the Spanish-speaking world, died in Lima.

It seems clear this was a double-tap attack - of the type the Russians developed in Syria: Hit an area, and then follow up with another strike when first responders arrive, to kill them as well. However, if so, the missiles used were inaccurate - the second strike hit over 100m from assumed target.

China has suspended exports of rare earth minerals and magnets crucial to the world’s automakers, aerospace manufacturers and military contractors. The crackdown is part of the country’s retaliation for President Trump’s sharp increase in tariffs.
