Enter the phenomenon of akiya, or ghost houses.A 2014 government report sounded the alarm, saying that, should things continue at the present rate, about 900 villages and towns throughout Japan will be “extinct.
The abandoned house crisis is so great that some areas are even giving homes away for free.But even free houses aren’t necessarily the cure for Japan’s akiya situation. While other countries with aging populations, like Italy, have given away or sold very cheap houses to foreigners, they often come with a visa or residency permit attached. Japan’s houses, though, do not.As a result, it can be hard to find people willing to live in the homes and fix them up, especially if they don’t speak Japanese or have access to a car.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday said the pain was “palpable” when he met with grieving families in Uvalde, Texas, this weekend following a mass shooting at an elementary school that claimed the lives of 19 children and two teachers.

“The Russian brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe. And the innocent civilians have been killed in the streets and millions of refugees are internally displaced, as well as exiled.

The fate of the vast quantities of oil and gas lodged under the shale, mud and sandstone of American drilling fields will in large part determine whether the world retains a liveable climate. And the US, the world’s largest extractor of oil, is poised to unleash these fossil fuels in spectacular volumes.
“We have an oil-based system, so to change that we need to reduce the demand for oil. Europe is moving forward with targets on clean energy, and hopefully this crisis will give a big push to that in the US too.”

It is also close to certain – 93% – that by 2026 one year will be the hottest ever recorded, beating 2016, when a natural El Niño climate event supercharged temperatures. It is also near certain that the average temperature of the next five years will be higher than the past five years, as the climate crisis intensifies.
“The probability of one of the next five years surpassing the limit is now 50%/…/ As recently as 2015, there was zero chance of this happening in the following five years. But this surged to 20% in 2020 and 40% in 2021.”https://t.co/wnqGIyNK0W

MINAMATA WAS a sleepy little town on Japan’s western island of Kyushu. But in the early 1950s eerie things began happening there. Birds flew in circles and plopped into the sea.

“I think we want to be very reluctant to delete things and just be very cautious with permanent bans,” Musk said earlier this month at a TED conference. He added that “timeouts” are better than full-blown bans. In taking the company private, Musk will face little resistance to lowering content moderation guardrails that his predecessors put up. Those who’ve previously run afoul of Twitter’s policies could be reinstated. Content that might have once triggered a warning about, say, Covid vaccine misinformation, may once again be fair game.

It is too soon to know if a winner will emerge from the fighting. But, on the other side of the planet, the world’s emerging superpower is weighing its options. Some argue that China will build on a pre-war friendship with Russia that knows “no limits”, to create an axis of autocracy. Others counter that America can shame China into breaking with Russia, isolating Vladimir Putin, its president. Our reporting suggests that neither scenario is likely.

In an episode of her chat show, Red Table Talk, she recalled the “terrifying” moment she first noticed she was losing “handfuls of hair” in the shower. “It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking with fear,” she said. “That’s why I cut my hair and continued to cut it.”

Бывший американский лидер Дональд Трамп считает, что Соединенные Штаты Америки больше не уважают в мире. Также он выразил мнение, что сейчас в стране руководят некомпетентные люди.
Vladimir Poutine a affirmé, ce dimanche, à Emmanuel Macron qu’il « atteindrait ses objectifs » en Ukraine « soit par la négociation, soit par la guerre », mais nié s’en prendre aux civils et assuré qu’il n’attaquerait pas les centrales nucléaires, a indiqué la présidence française.
Бывший президент США Дональд Трамп выступил с шуточным предложением о том, чтобы закрепить на американских истребителях F-22 китайские флаги и отправить их бомбить Россию от лица Пекина. Таким образом Штаты смогут обвинить Пекин в нападении на Москву и понаблюдать за их конфликтом, отметил он. Об этом сообщает Washington Post.
