GENEVA: Countries trying to negotiate a global agreement on handling future pandemics began an extra week of talks Monday (Dec 2), with the WHO chief insisting the end was in sight. The talks at the World Health Organization’s headquarters in Geneva opened three years on from the decision to draft a new accord on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, taken in the heat of the COVID-19 crisis. “You should be proud of what you have achieved in the past three years and you should also be confident that the end is in sight. It’s closer than you think,” WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told negotiators for the UN health agency’s 194 member states. “I believe that you can finalise the pending issues before the end of…
United States President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter for tax and firearm-related convictions has sparked criticism from lawmakers and officials, including some within his own Democratic Party. The Biden administration on Monday defended the announcement, which the president made despite his previous pledge not to pardon his son, on the grounds that Hunter’s persecution was political in nature. “They [Republicans] would continue to go after his son,” White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on a flight to Angola on Air Force One, adding that other presidents have also pardoned family members.

Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library/Alamy There is something strange about Earth. A few billion years ago, a process started here that we have never seen anywhere else. It completely reshaped the planet’s surface and its carbon cycle, sculpted new landscapes and has kept our home temperate and habitable for billions of years. That process is plate tectonics, in which Earth continuously subsumes and reforms the slabs of its rocky outer shell. It is thought to be inextricably linked to habitability and perhaps an essential prerequisite for life itself. Without it, our lakes and rivers might have frozen or evaporated, the oceans…
In the messy patchwork of conflicts raging across the Middle East, one country has been absent from the spotlight: Syria.A civil war that dominated international headlines for more than a decade has now been reignited after a coalition of Syrian rebels launched a lightning offensive last week, seizing Aleppo, the country’s second-largest city, from President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.The rebels took only hours to recapture territory that Assad’s forces had spent years reclaiming.

The adults couldn’t corral anyone for pizza and cake. And then there was the show: The animatronic rat Charles “Entertainment” Cheese and the Pizza Time Players entertained—or terrified—attendees with their songs and corny banter. That may have been the last time I entered a Chuck E. Cheese…
I have warned that there will be an exodus of migrants fleeing the United States for Canada in the wake of Trump’s presidency. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada said that the sheer volume of asylum seekers has spiked to the highest on record, with the number of cases rising from 60,000 annually to 200,000. New figures state that Canadian taxpayers are now on the hook for $16 BILLION per year to fund Trudeau’s open borders. The average processing time per asylum seeker was once 14 months, but due to the uptick in cases, it now takes about 44…
