Their father Gubad Ibadoghlu is one of hundreds of Azerbaijani political ... continua

As we broadcast from the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, calls are growing for stronger protections for refugees and migrants forcibly displaced by climate disasters. The United Nations estimates about 250 million people have been forced from their homes in the last decade due to deadly drought, storms, floods and extreme heat — mainly in the Global South, where many populations have also faced repeated displacement due to war and extreme poverty. Meanwhile, wealthier Global North nations disproportionately responsible for greenhouse emissions that fuel ... continua

This is a major development on the international stage, says HuffPost correspondent Akbar Shahid Ahmed, particularly in its implications for U.S. culpability in Israeli war crimes. The Biden administration, as Netanyahu’s ... continua

The group stormed security, kicking down a door before the United Nations police contained the protest. “We decided we needed to stop this COP,” says Alessandra Korap Munduruku, a leader of the protest, who joined us for an extended interview. ... continua
