Russia unleashes massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine as diplomatic talks continue

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia unleashed a major missile and drone barrage on Ukraine overnight into Saturday, after U.S. and Ukrainian officials said they’ll meet on Saturday for a third day of talks aimed at ending the nearly 4-year-old war,
Following talks that made progress on a security framework for postwar Ukraine, the two sides also offered the sober ****** sment that any “real progress toward any agreement” ultimately will depend “on Russia’s readiness to show serious commitment to long-term pea

Carnival has bounced back from COVID-era challenges.
Shares are more expensive than they look on the surface.
10 stocks we like better than Carnival Corp. ›
Long-term investing is the key to sustainable returns in the stock market, but sometimes it can backfire spectacularly. For example, if you purchased $1,000 of Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) (NYSE: CUK) stock 10 years ago, you would have just over $500 today -- a loss of around 50%. That means more than a decade of growth and billions in stock buybacks essentially evaporated during the coronavirus pandemic.
The good news is that Carnival's

Farmers sound the alarm as staple crops become nearly impossible to grow: 'Enough to ... lose the entire harvest'

Farmers across Eastern Europe are facing mounting challenges as ongoing droughts threaten agricultural systems and water supplies.
Per Rubryka, rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns have created conditions that could lead to widespread land degradation in regions once considered safe from such threats.
Ukraine's Kharkiv region has experienced three consecutive years of declining crop yields, despite farmers maintaining or increasing their investments in the l

Even as Russia once again made clear this week that it had no intention of pursuing genuine peace negotiations on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin landed in New Delhi to a red carpet treatment. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the Russian leader on Thursday with a handshake and hug on the tarmac, breaking diplomatic protocol. The sight was a reminder that Russia is far from a geopolitical pariah in important parts of the world, and

The origins of complex, nucleated cellular life – everything from amoebas to humans – may date back a lot further in Earth's history than we thought.
A new study tracing the earliest steps toward complex life suggests that this transformation from simpler ancestors began almost 3 billion years ago – long before our planet had the oxygen levels needed to support a thriving eukaryotic biosphere.
That's almost a billion years earlier than some estimates place the rise of complex cells, pointing to a surprisingly long, drawn-out evolutionary buildup rather than a rapid leap in complexity.

Pandas and ping-pong: Macron ending China visit on lighter note

An ancient dam, pandas and ping-pong: French leader Emmanuel Macron concluded his fourth state visit to China on Friday, striking a more relaxed note in the city of Chengdu after tough discussions on Ukraine and trade with his counterpart Xi Jinping a day earlier.
Far from the imposing Great Hall of the People in Beijing where the two leaders held talks, Xi and First Lady Peng Liyuan showed Macron and his wife Brigitte around the centuries-old Dujiangyan Dam, a World Heritage Site set against the mountainous landscape of Sichu

The UK is deporting 60 delivery riders found to be working illegally after an immigration crackdown.
Targeted action against workers in the so-called gig economy led to 171 arrests nationwide last month, the Home Office said.
Those arrested included Chinese nationals working in a restaurant in Solihull, Bangladeshi and Indian riders in east London, and Indian delivery riders in Norwich.
The drive comes as ministers try to crack down on illegal working in the UK, as part of efforts to deter those coming to the country illegally.
Home Office figures show there were 8,232 arrests of illegal w

Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa

By Humeyra Pamuk
WASHINGTON, Dec 3 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Wednesday announced increased vetting of applicants for H-1B visas for highly skilled workers, with an internal State Department memo saying that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech be considered for rejection.
H-1B visas, which allow U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty fields, are crucial for U.S. tech ‌companies which recruit heavily from countries including India and China. Many of those companies' leaders threw t

Exclusive drone footage shows devastated Ukrainian town almost encircled by Russian forces

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Exclusive drone footage obtained by The **** ociated Press on Wednesday shows a devastated Ukrainian town nearly encircled by Russian forces near the city that Moscow this week claimed to now control.
Barely a street appears to be untouched in Myrnohrad in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, 12 kilometers (7 miles) from the key logistics hub of Pokrovsk. Some destruction is so fresh that smoke was still rising in the footage shot in the past few days.

A new study is flipping the script on how we think about renewable energy, and it is revealing a surprising flaw in the way a major industry is funded.
UK researchers Colm O'Shea, Piers Horne, and Mark Maslin found that wind power has delivered more than $132.4 billion in total savings for consumers since 2010. Besides the work wind power has done to clean up the UK's electricity grid, this is also a major win for families and the economy.
Plus, it is a reminder that clean energy is more than just an environmental upgrade.
From 2010 to 2023, wind generation cut costs by $195.2 billion, incl

The New York Mets have agreed to a three-year contract with former Yankees closer and two-time All-Star reliever Devin Williams, Yahoo Sports' Russell Dorsey confirms.
The Athletic and ESPN first reported the news. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, the contract is worth more than $50 million in guaranteed money.
Williams, 30, was one of baseball's best relievers during a six-year stint with the Milwaukee Brewers. He made two All-Star teams in Milwaukee while posting a 1.83 ERA with 375 strikeouts and 11

Some like it hot. Really hot. But the prize goes to a tiny squirmy creature known as the fire amoeba of the Cascades, or Incendiamoeba casadensis. It is the most heat-loving eukaryotic organism on Earth.
Scientists recently discovered the hot-headed, single-celled organism in hot springs in Lassen Volcanic National Park and noted that it grows and divides at temperatures of up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, this microscopic heat seeker doesn’t even start growing until ambient temperatures reach beyond 107 degrees.
Scientists recently described the creature in a new preprint, and their f

Ukraine’s evolving plastics rules amid the ongoing war

Even as the Russia-Ukraine war continues to place extraordinary pressure on the country’s economy and infrastructure, Ukraine has pressed ahead with modernising its plastics and packaging laws.
The government’s commitment to aligning with European Union standards has not slowed; if anything, it has accelerated as Ukraine positions itself for closer EU integration and looks to rebuild its industries on more sustainable foundations.
For packaging producers, retailers and importers, this means navigating a regulatory landscape shaped not

A single-celled organism squirming about in the searing waters of California's Lassen Volcanic National Park has just set a record for heat tolerance.
The newly named Incendiamoeba cascadensis – meaning "fire amoeba from the Cascades", as described in a preprint on bioRxiv – grows and divides at temperatures up to 63 degrees Celsius (145 Fahrenheit), the highest known temperature for a eukaryotic organism.
Moreover, it doesn't start growing until temperatures reach at least 42 degrees Celsius. This makes it an obligate thermophile – a creature that requires conditions far hotter than most eu

Two of Donald Trump’s allies met Sunday with top Ukrainian officials in Florida as the Trump administration seeks to convince Ukraine’s government to accept a peace plan many saw as clearly tilted towards Russia’s war demands.
A delegation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s advisers and top officials met with lead U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Miami on Sunday ahead of a trip to meet with Russian leaders, including Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday.
On the agenda is the 28-point peace plan proposed by the U.S. this month, which has draw

Shadow chancellor Mel Stride has called for the UK's financial regulator to investigate "possible market abuse" by people working in the Treasury and Downing Street in the run-up the Budget.
The move comes as Chancellor Rachel Reeves denied she misled the public over the state of the country's finances, after it emerged she and officials had been told they were in better shape than widely thought - but she still gave briefings that the Tories described as overly pessimistic.
The Conservatives have called on her to resign and Stride sent a letter to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) reque

Ukraine's deep-strike drone campaign targeting Russia's oil and gas production facilities has already cost its enemy 10 percent of its refining capacity, according to industry experts -- and Kyiv is committed to stepping things up.
"Ten percent, it's not an astonishing number," says Tatiana Mitrova of Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy. "But it is still something that starts to be felt with the Russian domestic fuel crisis, with reduced oil refined products exports, and general tension inside the Russian oil sector."

A new scientific study found that boulders in mountain ecosystems are changing how snow melts.
As glaciers rapidly melt and expose what lies beneath, those rocks actively alter snow behavior.
Led by a McGill University team, researchers studied the Yukon's Shár Shaw Tagà Valley and took detailed measurements of snow melt around boulders. They used 3D laser scanning, infrared cameras, and drone photogrammetry and published their findings in the journal Cold Regions Science and Technology.
The scientists discovered that snow melts faster near boulders because the rocks radiate heat and due to

The human brain is not a hard-wired machine but a malleable organ that is regularly re-shaping itself.
Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK and the University of Pittsburgh in the US have now identified four major turning points in brain wiring between birth and death.
Like chapters of our lives, each of these neurological 'epochs' marks a new era of development or decline.
"Looking back, many of us feel our lives have been characterized by different phases," says senior author and neuroinformaticist Duncan Astle from Cambridge.
