Children as young as three will have lessons on wildfires and flooding under 10-point emergency response plan
Spanish children will be taught how to respond to floods, wildfires, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in a drive to help prepare them for the growing impact of the climate emergency.
The plan was unveiled on Thursday after a summer of forest fires killed four people and less than a year after catastrophic floods claimed more than 220 lives in eastern parts of the country.
Global media urge US not to restrict journalists' visas
The Trump administration wants to drastically cut how long foreign journalists are allowed to live and work in the US. Media groups, including DW, say the move would erode press freedoms.
Over 100 global media organizations have called for the United States government to roll back a proposal that would severely shorten how long foreign journalists are permitted to live and work in the country.
Under the current regulations, journalists holding the I visa are permitted to stay in the US for periods of five years that can be renewed indefinitely.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Kristi Noem, a conservative ally of US President Donald Trump, wants to shorten that period to just 240 days.
‘A historic opportunity’ as PKK disarmament opens a new political state
Is Erdoğan’s reelection in the hands of the Kurds?
For President Erdoğan to seek a record, currently unlawful, fourth term in 2028, he needs parliamentary backing to rewrite the rules — and to confront the Kurdish question at home and in Syria.
by Jean Michel Morel
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan faces a tough choice: should he reach out to his political opponents or keep persecuting them? In recent months, he has favoured persecution. On 19 March Istanbul’s highly popular mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), was arrested on corruption and terrorism charges. The courts had already annulled his university degree, awarded 30 years ago. Under constitutional rules, this meant he could not run in the May 2023 presidential election. His imprisonment sparked nationwide protests, which were brutally suppressed, both in major CHP-run cities and urban centres traditionally loyal to Erdoğan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP).

The last 30 minutes inside a Gaza City tower before it is bombed by Israel
Families in Gaza City recount the panic of fleeing their homes amid daily attacks on residential buidlings as Israel escalates its assault in northern Gaza.

The apartment of the 49-year-old father of four in Gaza City’s Mushtaha Tower had become a shelter for Abu Salah’s family members, including his elderly parents, his brother’s family, and his own wife and children – 17 people in total.
