The Andaman coast was one of very few places in the world with a viable population but then dead dugongs began washing up. Now half have goneA solitary figure stands on the shore of Thailand’s Tang Khen Bay. The tide is slowly rising over the expanse of sandy beach, but the man does not seem to notice. His eyes are not fixed on the sea, but on the small screen clutched between his hands.About 600 metres offshore, past the shadowy fringe of coral reef, his drone hovers over the murky sea, focused on a whirling grey shape: Miracle, the local dugong, is back.

Full VAT on meat products could cost EU households as little as €26 a year but cut impact by 3-6%, says paperThe environmental impacts of meat consumption could be rapidly and cheaply reduced if governments applied full VAT on products such as beef, pork, lamb and chicken, a study has shown.Depending on how the additional tax revenues were redistributed, such a change could cost households as little as €26 (£23) a year, while cutting ecological destruction by between 3% and 6%, the paper found.

Les pneus Pirelli Cinturato EVO TLR se positionnent comme une évolution de la gamme endurance de la marque italienne, destinés aux cyclistes pratiquant la route au long cours, le commuting ou des sorties allroad intégrant des portions de chemins légers et du gravier non technique. Un pneu proposé au prix public de 79.90 € mais que l'on trouve à un peu moins de 55 € et que j'ai pu tester depuis plusieurs mois, sur plus de 2000 km, aussi bien sous la pluie que par des températures allant jusqu'à -5°C. Un tarif élevé, mais justifié par son endurance et sa solidité qui en font un pneu vraiment passe-partout. Bien sûr, ses performances en matière de résistance au roulement ne sont pas son point fort, mais pour qui veut un pneu sans pépins et qui vous emmène partout, même sur des chemins, le Cinturato EVO TLR sera un bon choix.

The idea that the liberal rules-based order can survive his presidency now seems complacent. This is a historic moment – and a time to actA European-wide chorus of resistance, led this morning by Keir Starmer, has greeted Donald Trump’s plan to take over Greenland, by force if necessary, and to start a tariff war if any country stands in his way. Have no doubt, this is a moment: if pursued as a non-negotiable demand, Trump’s plan ends any lingering hope that the liberal rules-based order can stumble on through his remaining time in office. The real question now is whether the 2020s will be defined by the complete collapse of the order’s already crumbling pillars and the atrocities accompanying it, or whether an international coalition of the willing can come together to build a new global framework in its place.For, in quick succession, the US has abandoned its longstanding championing of the rule of law, human rights, democracy and the territorial integrity of nation states. Gone is its erstwhile support for humanitarian aid and environmental stewardship. Gone, too, is the founding principle of the postwar settlement: that countries choose diplomacy and multilateral cooperation over aggression and unilateral action. We cannot doubt any longer that the president meant it when he said he doesn’t “need international law”, and that the only constraint on his exercise of power would be “my own morality, my own mind”.Gordon Brown is the UN’s special envoy for global education and was UK prime minister from 2007 to 2010 Continue reading...
