#KeepEyesOnSudan When comparing Khartoum’s average temperatures between 2003 and 2006 with the average between 2023 and 2026, we find the temperature has risen by roughly 0.9 to 1.3 degrees Celsius. That is a striking increase against the levels of global warming, which has averaged about 0.2 degrees Celsius per...

Josep Borrell accuses Israel of the largest ethnic cleansing operation since WWII for it's actions against the Palestinians "We all know what happens there and we all hear statements from Netanyahu's ministers that are clear statements of genocidal intent" "Rarely have I heard a responsible state official express so openly a plan that meets the legal definition of genocide" "You can die by being shot in the back of the head, you can die in a gas chamber, you can also die of starvation" "And in any case, it is about the will to exterminate a people" "We are facing the biggest operation of ethnic cleansing since the end of the Second World War" "To create a splendid holiday resort once the million tons of rubble have been removed from Gaza and the Palestinians have left or have died" "One horror does not justify another horror" "I have said it many times. The horror of ever does not justify the horror of Israel's response" "Europe has the capacity and the means to not only protest, but to influence behaviour, and it does not do so" "We supply half of the bombs that fall on Gaza" "And if we really believe that there are too many dead, the natural response would be to supply fewer weapons and to use the Lever of the Association Agreement to demand that international humanitarian law be respected and not just lament that it is not being done" "We all condemned this terrorist attack by Hamas and proclaimed Israel's right to defend itself" "But the right to defence, like all rights, has its limits" "It has the limits of international law and international humanitarian law" "And in its response, Israel has violated all these rules, systematically using the starvation of the civilian population as a weapon of war and by bombing more than 50,000 dead among the population of Gaza, among them mostly women and children" "An explosive power equivalent to three times the Hiroshima bomb has been dropped on Gaza" "And for months nothing has been entering Gaza" "Nothing" "No water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, no medical services" - "And the shocks we suffer have two names" "Their names are Putin and Trump" "Two characters who, each in their own way, represent the old imperialism of the 19th century, which we know well because we have been its protagonists" "As I said before, one is much more intelligent, cunning and crafty than the other, although the other does not know it" "And that has consequences for everyone" - "What is peace?" "First and foremost, it is the peaceful coexistence between different people the coexistence between humans who for a moment think that it is better to cooperate than to fight" "And that, for example, today in the Middle East, means the ability of Palestinians and Israelis to live each in dignity and freedom, each with their own state" "Peace is the ability to face together global challenges" - "Today, on the contrary, war has returned to our borders and Trump is back in the White House" "Our time is no longer defined by peace, democracy, open trade and liberalism but by conflict, populism, protectionism and war" - "And today, for Europeans, the big issue is no longer the war between us" "And we do not sufficiently appreciate this extraordinary result" "Against our background, to have achieved 70 or 80 years of peace was an historic result which alone would justify the European Union" "The European Union has been a peace project and must remain so" "And even if we now talk a lot about rearmament, must remain a peace project conceived not for the relationship between us, but for the relationship with the rest of the world" - "Europe is the place in the world where humanity has built the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion" "And today more than ever we can say that Europe is the land of the free" "When in the US people start to be afraid to speak out, Europe is more than ever the land of the free" - "It is the land of relative economic prosperity, but greater than elsewhere, which is accompanied by an effort of social cohesion so that no one is left to their own devices, so that the health of your neighbour is also a problem for you" "But not a theoretical problem, but a problem that is solved with fiscal transfers that make things that are not provided by the market, but that are human rights" "But rights are not free" "Rights are paid for, and they are paid for with taxes, paid for with collective effort" "This is what characterises Europe" "We pay more taxes than in other parts of the world" "This is the price of cohesion" "Cohesion is the price of security, and security is the way to guarantee freedom"

Zakhiku - the ancient city in Iraq revealed by severe drought : In 2022, as the climate crisis causes water levels to plummet, riverbeds to dry and glaciers to melt, artefacts like old warships, an ancient city and human remains have emerged. This story is part of “Climate artefacts”, a miniseries telling the stories behind the people, places and objects that have been discovered due to drought and warming temperatures. Around 3800 years ago, traders in the ancient city of Zakhiku would wait for wooden beams, cut down from the forests in the mountains in north and east of Mesopotamia – spanning what is today Iraq, Kuwait and parts of Turkey, Iran and Syria to float down the Tigris River. Once the logs reached Zakhiku, they were collected and taken to storehouses. From same mountainous regions in what is present-day Türkiye and Iran, merchants transporting metals and minerals such as gold, silver, tin and copper would travel by donkey or camel to Zakhiku. To protect against bandits, they would make the difficult journey as caravans of travellers. After selling their wares in Zakhiku, merchants would cross the Tigris before continuing on to the borderlands. Zakhiku was founded around 1,800 BC by the Old Babylonian Empire that ruled Mesopotamia between the 19th and 15th centuries BC. With only water and soil in the area, Zakhiku was established to take advantage of the traffic of caravans and a flourishing trade route in the Near East, which includes the present-day Middle East, Turkey and Egypt. The trading post grew into an important commercial city in the region for about 600 years before it was hit by an earthquake and later abandoned. Zakhiku disappeared altogether in the 1980s, when – as part of the Mosul Dam project, built under the late Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein – it was flooded and submerged. Previously known as Saddam Dam, it is Iraq’s largest and most important water reservoir used for downstream irrigation. Iraq is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, and its southern governorates, where temperatures surpass 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) in the summer, have faced severe drought since 2019, forcing farmers to abandon their dying crops. Last December, water was released from the dam to irrigate farmland. As the water levels fell, Zakhiku emerged earlier this year in the Kurdish region of Iraq. A team of local and German archaeologists sprang into action to excavate the site, uncovering new details about the city following a brief initial excavation in 2018 that revealed a palace. "With the recent excavation the local people have become aware of Zakhiku; they visit the site … it was broadcasted on the local television … and people start knowing their history [more deeply] and they’re proud of it," says Peter Pfälzner of the University of Tübingen, Germany, an archaeologist working at the site, known as Kemune. © Al Jazeera #archaeohistories

When Team Trump needs to hammer a point home to the American public, they put Stephen Miller front & center - and damn he does a great job 🔥 Listen to him explain how massive this Grand Conspiracy is and how he has full faith in the DOJ to bring accountability to the criminals who perpetrated it. “It was a coup to overthrow a democratically elected government. A coup carried out by the intelligence apparatus of this country, by the deep state, by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat party. The new information that has been revealed by the DNI and by the FBI eliminates any scintilla of doubt about the intention, the premeditation, the planning and the orchestration of this conspiracy. It meets all of the criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against the United States. It meets the criminal elements of an insurrection. It meets the criminal elements of a conspiracy against the government and the criminal elements of the conspiracy to deprive citizens of their civil rights under color of law… Because it is a conspiracy, every single individual actor is now part of that conspiracy. So that includes Brennan and Clapper and Comey and Hillary and Schiff and everybody else who knowingly and willfully perpetrated this plot, this coup, this conspiracy, this scheme against President Trump & the government of the U.S., and now is the time and the hour and the moment for accountability so that we can reclaim this democracy.” Good Sunday Morning! 🙂

Many scientists and members of the public believe “we are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster” and that “much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled.” The UN Secretary General says climate change is a “time bomb” ticking toward detonation. Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, warns that six of nine “planetary boundaries” have been transgressed and that humanity is approaching “irreversible tipping points.” The World Economic Forum reports that climate change may cause an additional 14.5 million deaths by 2050, citing research suggesting one billion deaths are possible by 2100 if warming exceeds two degrees Celsius. The public has received the message. A study of 10,000 people in 10 nations found that 56 percent said “humanity is doomed” and nearly half said climate change had negatively impacted their daily life.” And yet the apocalypse described in these warnings bears little resemblance to the one revealed by the data. In 2024, approximately 16,753 people died from natural disasters globally, well below the twenty-year average of 65,566, continuing a long-term decline of roughly 90 percent over the past century. U.S. crop yields set records in 2024. Rockström’s planetary boundaries lack any objective biophysical threshold and instead reflect subjective political judgments about how much of nature humans should use. A NASA-funded study found that between 25 and 50 percent of the world’s vegetated area has grown greener over the past four decades, with CO2 fertilization accounting for approximately 70 percent of the greening. Global warming projections have fallen from 3 to 3.5 degrees Celsius in 2015 to 2.6 degrees....

Cities in China without traffic lights The only city in China without traffic lights never experiences traffic jams, not because there are fewer vehicles in the city, but because the city has designed its road network based on the Eight Trigrams in the Chinese Book of Changes. Tekesi County is a unique place located in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. What sets this county apart from others in the region is its distinctive bagua-shaped layout, which is a representation of the ancient Chinese philosophical concept of Bagua, or Eight Trigrams. The bagua-shaped city design is a reflection of the harmony between human beings and nature, as well as the balance between yin and yang. The layout of the city is a physical manifestation of these principles, with the eight trigrams represented by eight main roads leading to the center of the city, forming an octagonal shape. This layout is believed to bring harmony, balance, and prosperity to the city and its inhabitants. One of the most striking features of Tekesi County is the city center, which is home to a beautiful park called Bagua Park that is designed in the shape of the Bagua symbol. The park is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, offering a serene and peaceful environment for relaxation and contemplation. The city's architecture also reflects the Bagua concept, with many buildings and structures designed according to the principles of Feng Shui, a traditional Chinese practice that aims to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. This gives Tekesi County a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from other cities in the region. In addition to its unique layout and architectural features, Tekesi County is also known for its rich cultural heritage. The region is home to a diverse ethnic population, including Uygur, Kazakh, and Han Chinese, each contributing to the vibrant cultural tapestry of the area. Visitors to Tekesi County can experience traditional music, dance, and cuisine, as well as explore historical and archaeological sites that offer insight into the region's past.
