He’s the second judge to allow the Justice... Читать дальше...

About 40 minutes by boat from the Brazilian city of Belem where this year's U.N. climate talks are being held is a community of about 500 residents who are descendants of former slaves. Many such communities, which are called quilombos, are pushing the Brazilian government to give them titles to lands that they say they have been on for generations. Indigenous peoples in the Amazon make similar demands. They and residents of quilombos argue they often have a role in protecting forests. That's one... Читать дальше...

Warner Bros. Discovery’s friendly agreement to sell itself to Netflix just got upended by a hostile actor. Paramount made Warner shareholders a higher offer on Monday and touched off what is likely to be a lengthy fight in the latest episode of media industry consolidation. Paramount says its all-cash offer is worth about $77.9 billion, while Netflix agreed to buy Warner for $72 billion in cash and stock. Both offers will face regulatory scrutiny, and President Donald Trump has promised to weigh in. Читать дальше...

The holiday season comes with a lot of pollution from materials, manufacturing, processing, packaging, shipping and wrapping. Millions of pounds of wrapping paper go into landfills annually. Plus, after all that, roughly 1 in 5 purchases during the holiday season are returned, which means lots of those expended resources go to waste. Experts suggest giving homemade gifts, buying secondhand or giving someone an experience such as a meal. Reusable cloths or gift bags can replace wrapping paper.

Archaeologists have uncovered the longest remains of an ancient wall that once encircled Jerusalem during the time of Hanukkah. The excavation was completed last week. It reveals a section of the Hasmonean wall foundation built a few decades after the Hanukkah story. This wall is almost 50 meters long and 5 meters wide and once held taller structures than the current Old City walls. Experts believe the wall was purposefully dismantled, possibly due to a ceasefire agreement in 132 or 133 BC between... Читать дальше...

It's time for the Geminid meteor shower, one of the strongest of the year. The Geminids peak this weekend and are visible through mid-December. The fireballs tend to be yellow in color and can be seen across the globe, but the best viewing happens in the Northern Hemisphere. Meteor showers appear when fast-moving space rocks enter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up, leaving behind fiery tails. To enjoy the show, venture away from city lights and avoid looking at your phone. The meteors will appear as tiny glows streaking across the sky.

As the holiday season approaches, it's time to decorate with fresh greenery. Keeping evergreen branches fresh can be a challenge, but treating them like produce helps. Moisture is key. If you're cutting stems from your garden, do it in the morning when they're most hydrated. Cut at a 45-degree angle for better water absorption. If buying from a store, trim the ends similarly. Soak branches in water for at least two hours before use. For outdoor arrangements, mist lightly and place in shady spots. Читать дальше...

An infant botulism outbreak has sickened at least 39 babies across the U.S. and underscored the crucial role of a medication that treats the rare disease. BabyBIG, an IV drug, is made from blood plasma donated by a small group of scientists and other volunteers. It was the brainchild of the late Dr. Stephen Arnon. He was a California scientist who first identified the form of botulism that affects babies under age 1 and then spent his 45-year career figuring out how to treat it. It took 15 years...

Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman is running for governor of New York. Blakeman announced his candidacy on Tuesday. His entrance into the race kicks off what is expected to be a heated Republican primary contest against Rep. Elise Stefanik.

A Hamas leader has threatened to not move forward with the Gaza ceasefire's next phase unless Israel is pressured to open a key border crossing, cease deadly strikes and allow more aid. Tuesday's comment came as Israel’s government says it is ready to move into the next and more complicated phase of the ceasefire deal. It also calls on the militant group to return the remains of the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza. Hamas has little leverage in ceasefire negotiations and could come under heavy pressure...

Omar Touray, president of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission, said Tuesday that there has been a “growing erosion of electoral inclusivity across multiple states.” He told the bloc’s mediation and security council in Abuja that despite efforts to strengthen constitutional principles, member states are witnessing actions that undermine them.

The runoff follows Trump’s impact on Miami’s political landscape. Читать дальше...
