Israel has allowed some additional aid into the territory, including by airdrops, but the United Nations says it’s still just a “drop in the ocean” of what is needed.

Is the Donald Trump-Elon Musk bromance finally over? President Trump is threatening to cut off billions of dollars in federal contracts with Musk after the two billionaires engaged in a dramatic online feud just days after Musk called Trump’s budget bill a “disgusting abomination.” Musk appeared to back the impeachment of Trump and claimed the president is named in the Jeffrey Epstein files. “They are people who always have their eye on the bottom line, but they also are, obviously, titanically sized egos,” says author Quinn Slobodian, professor of ... continua

A small city located in the heart of the Amazon, Humaitá has one inhabitant per square kilometer. However, it has six bus companies. The most famous, the company “Siquiera”, is run by Luis and his son Leandro. They are the only ones who dare to venture onto Nacional 319, the most dangerous road in Brazil. If the other companies threw in the towel, both persist. After considerable effort, they decided to rehabilitate an abandoned road that runs deep into the Amazon rainforest.

“Even after having released almost 2,000 people last week, the Israeli military is still holding about 9,000 Palestinians and what it calls security prisoners or detainees,” says Sari Bashi, an Israeli American human rights lawyer and former program director at Human Rights Watch. “Only about a thousand of them have actually been convicted of any crime.
