An extreme drought in Panama is forcing authorities to substantially scale back shipping through the Panama Canal, one of the world’s key shipping channels. This comes at a time when traffic through the Suez Canal has been significantly disrupted. Ilya Espino de Marotta, the Panama Canal Authority’s deputy administrator, joins Stephanie Sy to discuss.

‘Degrading to Africans’: why I think we should boycott this Christmas song

The Guardian check_circle

2K views 1 day ago

,In 1984, charity supergroup called Band Aid made Do They Know It's Christmas? to raise money for people in Ethiopia during a national crisis. Two more versions were released – including one in 2014 aiming to help victims of the Ebola outbreak. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn Afrobeats artist Fuse ODG was invited to take part in that edition, but refused, saying the single did ‘more harm than good’. He added that the organisers did not agree with his request to change some of the lyrics and imagery used in the campaign that are ‘degrading’ to Africans. Now, with a new 40-year anniversary recording to be released in a few days, the MOBO award-winning artist is continuing to call out the issue – and has had other artists back him. “I understand that there might be good intentions … but there’s a way to do that without also kicking them while they’re down,” says the British-Ghanaian artist. Fuse ODG, who has recently launched an app about African history and languages, says the important thing is to lift up voices and tell stories that are often overlooked on the global stage – such as the fact that a cure for Ebola was discovered by a doctor from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dr Jean-Jacques Muyembe. In response to the growing backlash, Bob Geldof, one of the founders of Band Aid, told the Conversation: “This little pop song has kept hundreds of thousands if not millions of people alive. In fact, just today [it] has given hundreds of thousands of pounds to help those running from the mass slaughter in Sudan, and enough cash to feed a further 8,000 children in the same affected areas of Ethiopia as 1984.” Watch this video to learn more about why Fuse ODG thinks this – and other similar campaigns – is so damaging to Africa in the long term, and what he believes can help tackle negative stereotypes.

,At the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) held in Baku, Azerbaijan, a package of results was reached on topics such as the new collective quantification targets for climate financing (NCQG) and the global carbon market mechanism under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The head of the Chinese delegation stated in his speech that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Over the past 30 years, the governance process of the Convention has faced various challenges; although it has not been smooth sailing, it has consistently moved forward. Humanity is a community with a shared future, and in the face of the climate crisis, we can only unite and cooperate to respond together. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.

Robot Conducts Orchestra & Europe’s Largest Marine Protected Area | WEF | Top Stories of the Week

World Economic Forum check_circle

794 views 3 days ago

,This week's top stories of the week include: 0:14 Wind turbine repurposed into home – It’s built from the control box of a Vattenfall turbine which stood in an Austrian wind farm for 20 years. Most wind farm nacelles today are much larger. But a team from architecture collective Superuse Studios, working with Blade-Made, chose one of the smallest to prove that the concept of a tiny turbine home could work. 1:57 Robot makes its conducting debut – The 3-armed robot performed in a concert in Germany, leading the specially written Semiconductor’s Masterpiece. The piece features 3 wildly diverging time signatures. The orchestra’s artistic director says the robot is not intended to replace humans but to perform complex music too difficult for a person to conduct. 3:41 Europe’s largest Marine Protected Area – It covers almost 300,000 km2 of the ocean floor and encompasses several vulnerable marine ecosystems. Half the new MPA is fully protected, meaning no fishing or extractive activities are allowed. While the other half is highly protected which restricts activities like fishing. 6:41 4 ways to maximize cybersecurity – Cyber insecurity is one of the biggest risks facing the world. As technology evolves and spreads, cyber resilience becomes more important than ever. Cyber resilience is an organization’s ability to minimize the impact of significant cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

In this terrifying segment of THE RAW FEED, Gary Franchi exposes how we're literally minutes away from nuclear apocalypse. Vladimir Putin just drastically lowered Russia's nuclear strike threshold in direct response to Biden's reckless escalation - and what happens next will change everything. Just days after Ukraine used U.S.-supplied missiles to strike deep inside Russian territory, Putin activated a nightmare scenario that military experts have feared for decades. Russia's "Dead Hand" system - a fully automated nuclear response program - is now primed to launch 4,000 nuclear missiles at America and NATO allies even if Moscow's entire leadership is wiped out. Exclusive footage from Moscow shows Russian citizens reacting to Putin's updated nuclear doctrine, while military analysts warn that Biden's desperate moves in his final weeks could trigger World War III. What the mainstream media won't tell you: This isn't just another Putin bluff - it's a direct response to Biden's attempts to start a global conflict before Trump takes office. While Kamala Harris vacations in Hawaii, Ukrainian forces have crossed a deadly red line using American ATACMS missiles. Putin's response wasn't just predictable - it was inevitable. The Kremlin's new doctrine authorizes nuclear strikes against any non-nuclear state supported by nuclear powers, effectively targeting every NATO ally supporting Ukraine. Patriots, in these potentially final moments of peace, your support is more crucial than ever. Through your generous support at https://www.givesendgo.com/Keep-Next-News-Alive or via PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=BAC78BHT6NPU6, we can continue alerting Americans to the terrifying reality unfolding before us. Sweden's former Prime Minister calls Putin's moves a bluff, but this isn't some poker game - we're talking about Russia's automated doomsday system. If Moscow detects a nuclear strike, Dead Hand autonomously launches thousands of warheads, ensuring mutual destruction even if Russian leadership is eliminated. Germany's preparing for World War III with a shocking 1,000-page document called "Operation Deutschland." While Nordic citizens receive survival guides, 800,000 NATO troops and 200,000 vehicles mobilize for what could be humanity's final conflict. Two undersea cables have been mysteriously cut in the Baltic Sea, raising fears of Russian sabotage. President Trump's warning couldn't be clearer: "We have never been closer to World War III than we are today under Joe Biden." While the mainstream media dismisses Putin's nuclear doctrine update as mere saber-rattling, Russian citizens on Moscow streets tell a different story: "We need to scare someone" and "They are not mad people - they're very clever." Ukrainian President Zelensky admits his country will lose without continued U.S. support, yet Biden recklessly authorizes strikes into Russian territory. ABC News confirms Ukraine's first ATACMS strike hit the Bryansk region, with Russia claiming it shot down incoming missiles - a direct escalation that triggered Putin's nuclear response. As Trump calls for immediate peace talks with both Putin and Zelensky, Biden's administration pushes us closer to the nuclear abyss. The timing isn't coincidental - just weeks after losing the election, Biden's actions seem designed to create a crisis that could prevent Trump from taking office. Watch as these final pieces fall into place: Putin's nuclear doctrine update, Ukraine's deep strikes into Russia, and Biden's seemingly deliberate provocations. The countdown to catastrophe has begun, but the mainstream media still calls it all a bluff.

If too much water gushed into their giant pit, they could destabilize their neighbor, the great structure just a few hundred feet away, causing it to shift or even fall over. So they acted quickly to pump water back in to stabilize it. When their instruments showed the ground pressure holding firm, they plugged up the leak and focused on modifying the museum’s design to mitigate this new risk. To maximize its exhibit space, while limiting its above ground footprint, the museum’s first four levels are underground. To keep them dry, visitors safe, and the 91,000-ton monument next door standing tall, they encased the subterranean levels in two walls, with eight feet of porous stone fill in between, to catch and hold any water that might penetrate the foundation. It was an ingenious solution, but for builders in the federal District of Columbia, dealing with a shallow water table is nothing new. When President George Washington chose this idyllic spot to be the national capital, it was a land of farms and woods, rich with surface water. Small brooks trickled into streams, like Rock Creek. Marshes and tidal flats swelled and receded as the 14,700 square-mile Potomac basin drained through the District and mixed with the tidal flow of the Chesapeake Bay–the largest estuary in the United States. But as the city's boulevards and grand buildings were constructed over the past two-and-a-half centuries, 70% of these natural streams have disappeared: diverted into sewers, culverts, or filled in and paved over. Tiber Creek flowed through what has become the National Mall. First, it was converted into a canal, and then piped into sewers buried beneath Federal Triangle. Today, this group of large neoclassical buildings - between Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues - is home to numerous large government agencies. It’s also the lowest point in downtown. In 2006 it rained heavily for an entire week, leaving the Triangle submerged, causing tens of millions of dollars in damage and disrupting government operations. It wasn’t the first time this has happened here. Experts fear the most extreme storm would put the American History Museum under 16 feet of water. Engineers have taken steps to protect the buildings, like installing temporary barriers, retractable gates, and raising core utilities out of their basements. There’s even now a temporary levee that’s trucked over and dropped in along the Mall for added protection ahead of big storms. But throughout the rest of DC, an estimated 16,000 homes and businesses have had little protection from flooding when it rains. Some residents have water gush in from the street, others confront it bubbling up from their toilets when old sewers overflow and long-buried “zombie” streams gurgle back to life. On the southernmost edge of the district, along the Potomac, another major flooding threat looms. Over the past century, the waterline has effectively risen four feet, a combination of sea level rise and the land sinking under the weight of development. I’ve definitely noticed the water getting a little higher every year. The area where the water is is actually a portion of the seawall that has settled over the years. During high tide, when the ocean pushes the Chesapeake Bay further up the Potomac, 250 million gallons of river water enter the Tidal Basin. But it was constructed in 1897, it can no longer contain the river at high tide, causing the walking paths around the monuments and iconic cherry trees to flood twice a day like clockwork.
