By the end, Sunak had probably “won” the encounter, though a snap poll afterwards suggested viewers felt it was 50-50. Either way, the debate isn’t likely to change much when voters go to the polls. The truth is that this election is over, and the Conservatives have lost. There’s a wider point, though. It may have been strategically canny, but Starmer’s ploy to make himself as small a target as possible for hostile newspapers to attack made for thin gruel for those watching. And while failing to beat Sunak in a TV debate doesn’t matter, failing to win over the…

Despite an ongoing outbreak of bird flu in dairy cows, the popularity of raw milk has only risen. Advocates claim raw milk has superior health benefits over pasteurized milk. There is little evidence to support these claims, however, and the risk of serious illness is much greater. Mississippi State University food scientists Juan Silva and Joel Komakech and nutritionist Mandy Conrad explain the difference between pasteurized and raw milk, addressing common misconceptions about the health risks and purported benefits of consuming unpasteurized milk. These questions are more important than ever, since cattle can shed viral material into their milk. Not…

Mexico City – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is calling for the expansion of regular labour migration routes in the Americas to enhance development and reduce risks for migrants. This call to action came at the close of a high-level hemispheric meeting hosted by the Government of Mexico, where IOM Director General Amy Pope addressed over 175 delegates from 30 countries. “Migrants contribute significantly to the economic and social development of both their host and home countries, fostering more diverse and inclusive communities,” Pope emphasized. “By making regular pathways accessible and inclusive, we can harness this potential while saving…
The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah recently released videos showing footage from one of its drones flying over the Israeli city of Haifa and the surrounding area. Hezbollah released the videos shortly after American special envoy Amos Hochstein went to Beirut in a bid to get Lebanese political leaders to pressure Hezbollah to withdraw from the border with Israel. Following Hochstein’s visit, Hezbollah released images captured by one of its drones called the Hudhud (Hoopoe), highlighting strategic military and civilian infrastructure inside Israel. The following day, the group’s secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, gave a speech where he reiterated that Hezbollah has the…

In Jordan’s cities, green tanker trucks supplying water are a common sight. The average Jordanian only receives one and a half days of access to piped water per week. When taps run dry, citizens and business owners pick up the phone to order a water delivery to fill their rooftop or basement storage tanks. These trucks are usually not sent by the local water utility, however. Rather, they are operated by individual vendors who source their water from private wells with a license to sell drinking water or, increasingly, without one. This is the story of the rise of illegal…

“To argue otherwise was simply an ideological madness that we will work to correct,” Meloni said. Reducing pollution should not be done “at the expense of economic and social sustainability, [but] defending and promoting European production and safeguarding tens of thousands of jobs.” She promised to “review the most ideological rules within the Green Deal and ensure technological neutrality.” “No one has ever denied that electric [vehicles] can be part of the solution to decarbonize transport,” but “we want to protect nature with people in it,” she added, noting that “in recent years the opposite has happened and human activities…
