Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ running mate has a decades-long connection with China. But in the eyes of Beijing, that may not necessarily be good news. Tim Walz moved to China fresh out of college in 1989 to teach high school for a year, and then frequently returned to the country during a decade of taking American students on summer cultural ...
Parts of Port-au-Prince are showing signs of life again: On the once-desolate Boulevard Toussaint Louverture, a young couple could be seen hugging one recent afternoon. Down the street, a group of men danced as Bob Marley’s “One Love” came on the radio. A few months ago, walking down this main artery in Haiti’s capital was inconceivable; a loose alliance of ...

Scientists think they can warm up Mars by blasting glitter into its atmosphere. Warming up the red planet to around 28C could make it more hospitable for humans by melting ice and allowing microbial life to flourish. One-third of Mars’ surface is water, and streams may have flowed around the planet as recently as 600,000 years ago, but at present ...
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has intervened in British politics once again by posting images an offensive deleted tweet from a Labour MP. Musk has been sparring with Sir Keir Starmer since last week after the prime minister blamed social media companies for allowing the spread of false claims the Southport stabbings suspect was an asylum seeker – which prompted riots ...
Elon Musk has branded Sir Keir Starmer a “hypocrite” over his approach to policing – while also goading the prime minister over a Labour MP’s historical tweets.

Dempsey wore a bullet-proof tactical vest, a black helmet, a gaiter to obscure most of his face, and he brought a spare gaiter and shirt that he changed into during the riot. Before climbing up ...
