“Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we will do [something] similar exactly to them,” Erdoğan said, referring to Turkey’s past military interventions. His saber-rattling sparked a furious response from Israel and contributed to fears of a wider regional conflict. Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders, whose party is the largest in the Netherlands, called Erdoğan an “Islamofascist” and “totally nuts” in a social media post on Sunday, adding that Turkey “should be kicked out of NATO.” Wilders has long proposed expelling Turkey from the alliance. The Netherlands, unlike Israel, is also a NATO member. Turkey joined NATO…

In one particularly appalling attack, a hospital was struck last Friday alongside residential areas and a livestock market in North Darfur state that killed or injured at least 97 civilians. Attacks against medical facilities, personnel and supplies, which violate international human law and have left healthcare system in Sudan “hanging by a thread”, the UN agency warned. “Hospitals, health facilities, ambulances and other health assets are a lifeline to Sudan’s people, who endure relentless fighting and frequent displacement due to the ongoing war,” it said in a statement. “Yet their tenacity and dedication are rewarded with bombardment, harassment, intimidation, injury…

The new romantic comedy Fly me to the Moon tells the story of how, in the run up to the Apollo 11 mission, Nasa hired a high-flying marketing specialist to bolster public support. The history books tell us this isn’t quite what happened, but I believe modern science communicators could still learn from this irreverent revision of Nasa’s history. In the opening scenes of Fly Me To The Moon, Kelly Jones (Scarlett Johansson), is recruited by shady government officials to sell one of the biggest thing one can sell: the Moon. The premise may seem far-fetched. After all, who doesn’t…

To emphasize the importance of an election, presidential candidates often predict that the next president will have an opportunity to fill one or two vacancies on the U.S. Supreme Court. But in the case of a hypothetical President Kamala Harris, this may not be true. Even if Harris were to win in November 2024, and then win reelection in 2028, she may not have a chance to reshape the court by filling the seat of a departing justice, especially a conservative one. Jimmy Carter was the only one-term president who didn’t fill a Supreme Court vacancy. No president who won…

Our insatiable demand for digital content and services has been driving a rise in energy-hungry data centres. The International Energy Agency reports global data centre electricity consumption could double in a few short years, reaching 1,000 terawatt hours (TWh) by 2026. That’s roughly the same as generated by the whole of Japan per year. Some predictions estimate 8–10% of the planet’s electricity production will be needed to sustain the relentless growth in data centres. These figures are not uniformly distributed across the globe. In Ireland, where the sector is incentivised, data centres are predicted to exceed 30% of the country’s…
