Canada’s Chrystia Freeland shares her biggest fear for Ukraine

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:04:24 GMT

Chrystia Freeland is not worried about Ukrainian resolve. She’s worried about the rest of the West.Freeland, Canada’s deputy prime minister and at times a key global player in the multilateral sanctions campaign against Russia, was asked at the Aspen Security Forum on Friday what concerns her most about the war on Ukraine.“My biggest fear for Ukraine, actually, is us,” she said during an armchair conversation with POLITICO editor-in-chief Matthew Kaminski. “I worry about … our collective ability to stay the course.”Freeland said her anxiety has consistently been tempered by public support in Canada and like-minded nations for Ukraine’s war effort.“Political leaders have been surprised on the upside by the commitment of their own citizens to support Ukraine,” she said. “People don’t have to come to the Aspen Security Forum to understand there are basic principles at stake. This is democracy versus dictatorship. This is the right of people to defend the sovereignty of their own border...

Sick of hearing about record heat? Scientists say those numbers paint the story of a warming world

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:04:24 GMT

The summer of 2023 is behaving like a broken record about broken records.Nearly every major climate-tracking organization proclaimed June the hottest June ever. Then July 4 became the globe’s hottest day, albeit unofficially, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer. It was quickly overtaken by July 5 and July 6. Next came the hottest week, a tad more official, stamped into the books by the World Meteorological Organization and the Japanese Meteorological Agency.With a summer of extreme weather records dominating the news, meteorologists and scientists say records like these give a glimpse of the big picture: a warming planet caused by climate change. It’s a picture that comes in the vibrant reds and purples representing heat on daily weather maps online, in newspapers and on television.Beyond the maps and the numbers are real harms that kill. More than 100 people have died in heat waves in the United States and India so far this summer. Records are cruc...

Rights activists fear Tunisia deal will be model for bartering EU money for migrants’ lives

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:04:24 GMT

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Migrants in Tunisia’s port city of Sfax who are aiming to make Europe their new home are now sharing the burden and the blame for escalating tensions deeply tinged with racism, amid the fears of European leaders who are trying to stanch the numbers of people arriving at their shores.The antagonism that exploded this month in Sfax between Tunisians and mainly Black sub-Saharan migrants are widely seen as a turning point in how this North African nation deals with the issue of migration — and an opportunity to be seized by Europe. Hundreds of migrants have drowned at sea trying to reach Italy in fragile boats, but now migrants awaiting their chance to cross the Mediterranean cower in fear, some beaten or bused by authorities to new destinations, others dumped in the desert.A meeting this week in Tunis of human rights activists from North Africa, West Africa and Europe denounced a summit on migration this Sunday in Rome, saying its goal is to pursue an anti-migran...
