This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Across Turkey, thousands of high school students are protesting the government's expulsion of their teachers.These schools are not typical institutions; students must pass a national exam and rank in the top 1-3% of candidates.The expulsion is a common governing practice in Ottoman-Turkish history.

Rising global temperatures can influence the timing of events, such as when crops are ready to plant and harvest and when flowers and trees bloom. One example is the timing of the peak cherry tree blossom in Kyoto, Japan, where records stretch back to the ninth century — that’s over 1200 years.
