- Israel-Gaza war ‘devastating’ Palestine economy, UN warns
- Date posted
- 31 minutes ago
- Description
- The United Nations Development Programme has looked at how deeply Israel's six-month war on Gaza has set back hopes for growth.
It said if the war continues, economic output could shrink by a third in 2024, compared to what was projected before the war.
Poverty across the occupied Palestinian territories could surge to over 60 percent if the war extends to 9 months and the crisis is expected to increase the number of people living in poverty by an additional 1.86 million.
But in Gaza, all analyses from the UN agency indicate a setback of so-called 'human development' by more than 20 years.
Raja Khalidi is from the Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute.
He says a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation are crucial to the recovery process in Gaza.

- Student demonstrations against Israel's war on Gaza on US campuses are escalating.
Protesters want their universities to cut ties with companies linked to Israel.

Are the student protests taking a political turn?

Protesters’ demands vary in scope from school to school. But there is one common message - disclose and divest.
Students want their universities to be more transparent about where their schools’ money is going.
They demand these institutions abandon a range of investments in companies that they say are complicit in genocide.
So, does divestment work?
Also, Washington wants Russia to pay for rebuilding Ukraine. Moscow threatens to retaliate.

- The US President Joe Biden has been under pressure, not just by his rival in the upcoming presidential election, former President Donald Trump, but also from the American public, who have been wondering why he’s been absent as these nationwide protests grow on college campuses.
There have been comments from the National Security Council spokesperson, the deputy press secretary, the press secretary, all saying pretty much what the president said: that these protests are not within the law, that the White House supports free speech, the right to protest and freedom of assembly, but that it doesn’t support protests that are unlawful.
One of the questions asked to President Biden was whether the demonstrations would make him change any of his policies on Gaza. The answer was no, without hesitation or qualification. And that’s what could have quelled this disruption. The fact that he was not willing to budge on that is going to be a problem for Biden, because...

- In New York, several rallies continued into the night, including a march that went off campus.
Police cleared out demonstrators at Columbia and at the City University of New York.
About 300 people were arrested.
Students across NYC, like at Fordham University, continue sit-ins despite arrests, motivated by a quest for justice and an end to the Gaza war.
The pro-Palestinian rallies have sparked intense campus debate over where school officials should draw the line between freedom of expression and hate speech. Students protesting Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, including some Jewish peace activists, have said they are being censured as anti-semitic merely for criticizing the Israeli government or for expressing support for Palestinian rights.

- Local elections in England and Wales on Thursday could indicate how a general election - likely to be held by the end of this year - might play out.

- Beyond the Oil Age: The real cost of cobalt mining in DRC | Dying Earth E4 | Featured Documentary
- Date posted
- 1 day ago
- Description
- The dark side of 'green energy': The real cost of cobalt mining in the DRC and how it impacts the nation’s environment.
From smartphones to aircraft engines to the batteries of electric cars, cobalt is a critical component of modern life since the metal protects batteries from overheating and catching fire, extending their lifespans. As demand for cobalt has skyrocketed over the last few decades, it is the Democratic Republic of the Congo, home to most of Earth’s cobalt reserves, which has borne the brunt.

Mines – both legal and illegal – have been appearing all over the nation, and threatening the pristine tropical rainforest.
The film Beyond the Oil Age delves into a modern world trying to move to greener cleaner energy at the expense of countrie...
