The data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service reaffirms that global temperatures are on course to exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial levels -- the threshold considered safer in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Temperatures rose by 1.48C on average between January and November, or "currently tied with 2023 to be the second-warmest year on record", according to the service's monthly update. "The three-year average for 2023–2025 is on track to exceed 1.5C for the first time," Samantha Burgess, strategic lead for climate at Copernicus... Читать дальше...

After a campaign dominated by fears over crime and immigration, Jose Antonio Kast, a veteran politician and father of nine, is on course to become Chile's first hard-right leader since the end of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship in 1990. His opponent, Jeannette Jara, a communist who leads the center-left coalition, won the first round of voting in November. But she looks set to be punished for the incumbent government's perceived failure to tackle rising crime and a stalled economy. Before the... Читать дальше...

Israel accounted for almost half of the world’s journalist deaths this year, Reporters Without Borders warned Tuesday, with 29 Palestinian reporters killed in Gaza as the global toll increased to 67. Nearly 220 journalists have died since the beginning of the war in Gaza in October 2023, making Israel the world’s deadliest country for the third consecutive year, according to RSF.

New Zealand welcome France on July 4 in the 12-team Nations Championship at the state-of-the-art 30,000-seat Te Kaha Stadium, also known as the One New Zealand Stadium. A magnitude 6.2 earthquake in February 2011 killed 185 people, toppled buildings and paralysed New Zealand's second largest city with the main rugby stadium damaged beyond repair. Super Rugby's Canterbury Crusaders moved to a temporary home at a small rugby league stadium, but its size meant the All Blacks have played only five times in the city since the earthquake...

The Thai military fired shells into the border province of Banteay Meanchey after midnight, killing two people travelling on National Road 56, the Cambodian defence ministry said in a Facebook post. Ministry spokeswoman Maly Socheata later told reporters that seven civilians had been killed and 20 wounded in Thai attacks as of Tuesday morning. The ministry said in a separate statement that the Thai army had resumed attacks around 5:00 am Tuesday in border regions, including in the area of centuries-old temples... Читать дальше...

Cambodia’s former leader Hun Sen said on Tuesday that the country had begun striking back against Thailand after two days of denying any retaliation, as deadly border clashes between the neighbours flared again. His comments came after a week of renewed fighting that has killed seven people and reignited tensions despite an earlier ceasefire.

Coupang is South Korea's most popular online shopping platform, serving millions of customers with lightning-fast deliveries of products from groceries to gadgets. But the company suffered a massive data leak this year and was forced to alert customers that their names, email addresses, phone numbers, shipping addresses and some order histories had been exposed. Payment details and login credentials were not affected, it said. Coupang had told authorities the personal information of 33.7 million... Читать дальше...

Kenya dispatched a new contingent of police officers to Haiti on Monday, moving to reinforce an overstretched multinational mission that has struggled to contain the country’s powerful armed gangs. The deployment comes as Haiti remains mired in a profound political and security crisis, with large swathes of the capital under gang control.

With traders fully confident of a reduction Wednesday, observers said they would be keeping a close eye on the central bank's so-called "dot plot" of projections for monetary policy. They will also be poring over its post-meeting statement and boss Jerome Powell's news conference, looking for clues about the debate taking place among decision-makers. Bets on a third successive cut -- and more in 2026 -- have surged on the back of data pointing to a weakening jobs market, which has offset concerns about stubbornly high inflation. Читать дальше...

Criminal gangs have long ravaged Haiti, causing strife and instability that has only worsened since early 2024 when they forced then-prime minister Ariel Henry to resign. The United Nations estimates the armed groups now control 90 percent of the capital Port-au-Prince, where murders, rapes, looting and kidnappings are rampant amid chronic political instability. To aid overwhelmed Haitian police, the UN Security Council in 2023 approved sending a multinational security mission to the country led by Kenya. Читать дальше...

Mahad Maxamud returned to a hero's welcome in Somalia last month, not least because he is a hugely popular social media star whose online rants have earned him more than 450,000 TikTok followers. US authorities linked him to the long-running insurgent group Al-Shabaab, which has ties to Al-Qaeda. But some in Somalia suspect he was the victim of online rivals, thanks to the often aggressive and ethnically tinged roasting contests that occur between Somali TikTokers. AFP spent weeks investigating... Читать дальше...

In Gir National Park, Asiatic lions reign over a 1,900-square-kilometre (735-square-mile) expanse of savannah and acacia and teak forests, their last refuge. For a few minutes, cameras clicked wildly from safari jeeps, but as night falls and visitors leave, the mighty cat has still not moved a paw. Gir's success stems from more than three decades of rigorous conservation to expand the lions' range, which now raises questions about the future of coexistence with humans. Park chief Ramratan Nala celebrates the "huge success"... Читать дальше...

Coach Andrew McDonald told reporters that Hazlewood, who missed the first two Tests, had suffered problems in recovering from hamstring and Achilles injuries and would sit out the remaining three matches. "Really flat for him. A couple of setbacks that we didn't see coming," McDonald said. "We thought he'd play a huge part in the series. But really feel for him that he won't get that opportunity." Hazlewood will now aim to be fully fit for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, which begins in February. Читать дальше...

A 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck off northern Japan late Monday, injuring at least 23 people and triggering small tsunami waves along the Pacific coast. Authorities warned of aftershocks and a heightened risk of a major quake as damage assessments continued into Tuesday.

"Prices are terrible. It makes it difficult to shop for a lot of your friends and family," said James Doffermyre, a high school teacher. The 37-year-old was among visitors at the market in Gaithersburg -- a Maryland suburb of Washington -- browsing stalls selling everything from greeting cards to decorations. "We always have a big Christmas, and we get one or two gifts for everybody," he told AFP. But this year, he added, "we said all the adults were okay, (let's) just buy things for the kids."...

The Japan Meteorological Agency said the magnitude 7.5 quake at 11:15 pm on Monday (1415 GMT) -- downgraded from its first reading of 7.6 -- raised the chances of similar or larger tremors in the coming days. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said 30 people were injured in the quake off the coast of the northern Aomori region, which triggered tsunami waves up to 70 centimetres (28 inches). Daiki Shimohata, 33, a civil servant in Hashikami on Honshu island, told AFP that he and his family rushed outside their home. Читать дальше...

US President Donald Trump said Monday that he reached an agreement with Chinese President Xi Jinping to let Nvidia export its H200 artificial intelligence chips to approved customers in China. This signals a major reversal of the restrictions put in place during former US President Joe Biden's time that had tightly limited such sales.

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Theo Padnos, a journalist who was captured and held for nearly two years in a series of prisons run by Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda, says that the current Syrian leadership is like 'a fox in the henhouse' and that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa fostered a 'genocidal culture' against minorities, pursuing indiscriminate killings during his years leading jihadist groups.

In tonight's edition, life begins to return to normal in Benin, 24 hours after an attempt to overthrow President Patrice Talon was foiled by the authorities and neighbouring Nigeria. Also, 100 Nigerian schoolchildren who were abducted last month have been released in Nigeria. And just days after signing a peace deal with Rwanda, Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi accuses Kigali of violating the US-brokered agreement.

In what can only be described as an online posting frenzy, Elon Musk made a series of attacks against the European Union, calling for it to be abolished. This comes after the bloc slapped X (formerly Twitter) with a €120m fine for breaching European transparency regulations, including its "deceptive" blue check marks. It's also triggered accusations of 'censorship' from several officials in Donald Trump's administration. Vedika Bahl explains in Truth or Fake.
