Biden arrived in Germany's picturesque Bavarian alps early Sunday morning for the annual meeting of the leading democratic economies, where the reverberations from the brutal war in Ukraine will be front and center in the discussion. He and the allies aim to present a united front in support of Ukraine as the conflict enters its fourth month.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 BERLIN (AP) — Germany is hosting this year’s meeting of leaders from the Group of Seven leading economies in the Bavarian resort of Elmau. Before the invasion of Ukraine by Russia triggered a cascade of crises over food, energy and international security, the main focus of the meeting was meant to be on climate change. The German government under Chancellor Olaf Scholz still plans to get the G-7 to commit to collective progress on curbing global warming, and one of the ideas being discussed is the creation of a ‘climate club' for countries that want to speed ahead when it comes to tackling the issue. WHAT IS A CLIMATE CLUB? The idea was first floated by Yale economist and Nobel Prize winner William Nordhaus, who said the voluntary nature of existing climate agreements hasn't resulted in sufficient progress. He proposed that countries which were serious about … [Read more...] about EXPLAINER: Why Germany is pushing for a ‘climate club’

As the host of the summit taking place from Tuesday to Thursday, Spain wants to emphasize its proximity to Africa as it lobbies for a greater focus on Europe’s southern flank in a new document outlining NATO's vision of its security challenges and tasks. The Strategic Concept is NATO’s most important working document after the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949, which contained the key provision holding that an attack on one member is viewed as an attack upon all. The security assessment is updated roughly every decade to reset the West's security … [Read more...] about As summit host, Spain urges NATO to watch its southern flank

A peace agreement signed last year between some armed groups and the community in the Bankass area had largely held, even if the gunmen would sometimes enter the town to preach Shariah to the villagers. But on this Sunday in June, everything changed — the jihadis began killing people. “They started with an old man about 100 years old ... then the sounds of the weapons began to intensify around me and then at one moment I heard a bullet whistling behind my ear. I felt the earth spinning, I lost consciousness and fell to the ground,” Tolofidie, a 28-year-old farmer told The Associated Press by phone Friday in Mopti town, where he was receiving medical care. “When I woke up it was dark, around midnight. There were bodies of other people on … [Read more...] about Survivors recount Mali’s deadliest attack since coup

Researchers at the French research institute OCAPI suggest that farmers use recycled human urine to combat the global chemical fertilizer shortage. The research from OCAPI found that recycled human urine, “peecycling,” could be a “liquid gold” replacement for widely-used chemical fertilizer, reported Business Insider. The OCAPI research and action program, launched in France in 2014, studies the management of human nutrient excretion in Paris, France, according to the group’s website. The group proposes collecting human urine as fertilizer for farmland desperate for nutrients during the global chemical fertilizer shortage.
