“There are no repercussions. They [Israeli soldiers] get encouraged and supported by the highest ministers of the government,” [a former Israeli soldier, Ori Givati] said.

And he says this plays into a mindset that the military already subscribes to.

“The culture in the military, when it comes to Palestinians, is that they are only targets. They are not human beings. This is how the military teaches you to behave.”

En toute innocence.

British troops could be deployed on the ground in Gaza to help deliver aid via a new sea route, the BBC has learned.

The US has said no American forces would go ashore and an unnamed “third party” would drive trucks along a floating causeway onto the beach.

The UK is understood to be considering tasking British troops with this when the aid corridor opens next month.

Whitehall sources said no decision had been made and the issue had not yet crossed the prime minister’s desk.

A deadly heatwave in West Africa and the Sahel was “impossible” without human-induced climate change, scientists say.

Temperatures soared above 48C in Mali last month with one hospital linking hundreds of deaths to the extreme heat.

Researchers say human activities like burning fossil fuels made temperatures up to 1.4C hotter than normal.

A separate study on drought in Southern Africa said El Niño was to blame, rather than climate change.

Uber agrees $178m payout to Australia taxi drivers
▻https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68594134

18.3.2024 by Peter Hoskins - Uber has agreed to pay A$271.8m ($178.3m; £140m) to settle a lawsuit in Australia, according to a law firm for taxi operators and drivers.

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers filed the class action on behalf of over 8,000 taxi and hire car owners and drivers.

The case alleged they lost income when the ride-hailing giant “aggressively” moved into the country.

“Uber fought tooth and nail at every point along the way,” the law firm said.

“Since 2018, Uber has made significant contributions into various state-level taxi compensation schemes, and with today’s proposed settlement, we put these legacy issues firmly in our past,” Uber said in a statement.

The company did not disclose the size of the proposed settlement.

“It would be inappropriate to comment on specifics until the agreement is finalised and the settlement is disclosed to the court,” it said.

The class action was filed against Uber in 2019 in the Supreme Court of Australia’s Victoria state.

“This case succeeded where so many others have failed. In Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia, cases were brought against governments and all of them failed,” Maurice Blackburn principal lawyer Michael Donelly said.

“What our group members asked for was not another set of excuses - but an outcome - and today we have delivered it for them,” he added.

Before any pay out can be made the court still needs to approve the proposed settlement as being in the best interests of group members.

San Francisco-based Uber, which was founded in 2009, operates in around 70 countries and more than 10,000 cities globally.

Over the years, it has faced protests by taxi drivers in cities around the world.

In December 2023, the company won a lawsuit brought against it by 2,500 taxi drivers in France.

A Paris commercial court ruled that Uber had not committed acts of unfair competition.

The taxi drivers had been seeking €455m ($495.4m; £389m).

Gaza medics tell BBC that Israeli troops beat and humiliated them after hospital raid

Ahmed Abu Sabha, a doctor at Nasser hospital, described being held for a week in detention, where, he said, muzzled dogs were set upon him and his hand was broken by an Israeli soldier.

His account closely matches those of two other medics who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.

They told the BBC they were humiliated, beaten, doused with cold water, and forced to kneel in uncomfortable positions for hours. They said they were detained for days before being released.

The BBC supplied details of their allegations to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). They did not respond directly to questions about these accounts, or deny specific claims of mistreatment. But they denied that medical staff were harmed during their operation.

They said that “any abuse of detainees is contrary to IDF orders and is therefore strictly prohibited”.

Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman of the Jamaat-e-Islami party had been named the victor of the provincial assembly seat PS-129 in the city of Karachi.
But this week he claimed the candidate backed by Imran Khan’s PTI party had secured far more votes and that their tally had been reduced.
As such he would relinquish the seat.

“If anyone wants to make us win in an illegitimate manner, we will not be accepting that,” Mr Rehman said at a press conference held by his party on Monday.

He added: “Public opinion should be respected, let the winner win, let the loser lose, no one should get anything extra.”

He said that while he had received more than 26,000 votes, the independent candidate Saif Bari, backed by the PTI, had received 31,000 votes - but these were presented as 11,000 votes.
Pakistani electoral authorities have denied the allegations. It is unclear who will take up the PS-129 seat now.

But the incident is just the latest highlighting the crisis around Pakistan’s elections held last Thursday, which have been marred by allegations of widespread vote fraud and interference, which were said to have damaged candidates affiliated with Khan.

Amazon drought: ’We’ve never seen anything like this’

https://pixelfed.zoo-logique.org/storage/m/_v2/578583396227231930/bc40e5d2a-3c51e6/Xhv7Obg8AKL3/7OGOUATMOotmsLtioQzGxKU1QJsGLB01uevPtXVp.png

The Amazon rainforest experienced its worst drought on record in 2023. Many villages became unreachable by river, wildfires raged and wildlife died. Some scientists worry events like these are a sign that the world’s biggest forest is fast approaching a point of no return.

As the cracked and baking river bank towers up on either side of us, Oliveira Tikuna is starting to have doubts about this journey. He’s trying to get to his village, in a metal canoe built to navigate the smallest creeks of the Amazon.

Bom Jesus de Igapo Grande is a community of 40 families in the middle of the forest and has been badly affected by the worst drought recorded in the region.

There was no water to shower. Bananas, cassava, chestnuts and acai crops spoiled because they can’t get to the city fast enough.

And the head of the village, Oliveira’s father, warned anyone elderly or unwell to move closer to town, because they are dangerously far from a hospital.

Oliveira wanted to show us what was happening. He warned it would be a long trip.

But as we turn from the broad Solimões river into the creek that winds towards his village, even he is taken aback. In parts it’s reduced to a trickle no more than 1m (3.3ft) wide. Before long, the boat is lodged in the river bed. It’s time to get out and pull.

“I’m 49 years old, we’ve never seen anything like this before,” Oliveira says. “I’ve never even heard of a drought as bad as this.”

After three hours of trudging up the drying stream, we give up and turn back.

“If it dries out any more than that, my family will be isolated there,” Oliveira says.

To get in or out they’ll have to walk across a lakebed on the other side of the village. But that’s dangerous - there are snakes and alligators there.

The rainy season in the Amazon should have started in October but it was still dry and hot until late November. This is an effect of the cyclical El Niño weather pattern, amplified by climate change.

El Niño causes water to warm in the Pacific Ocean, which pushes heated air over the Americas. This year the water in the North Atlantic has also been abnormally warm, and hot, dry air has enveloped the Amazon.

“When it was my first drought I thought, ’Wow, this is awful. How can this happen to the rainforest?’” says Flávia Costa, a plant ecologist at the National Institute for Amazonian Research, who has been living and working in the rainforest for 26 years.

“And then, year after year, it was record-breaking. Each drought was stronger than before.”

She says it’s too soon to assess how much damage this year’s drought has done, but her team has found many plants “showing signs of being dead”.

Past dry seasons give an indication of the harm that could be done. By some estimates the 2015 “Godzilla drought” killed 2.5bn trees and plants in just one small part of the forest - and it was less severe than this latest drought.

“On average, the Amazon stopped functioning as a carbon sink,” Dr Costa says. “And we mostly expect the same now, which is sad.”

As well as being home to a stunning array of biodiversity, the Amazon is estimated to store around 150bn tonnes of carbon.

Many scientists fear the forest is racing towards a theoretical tipping point - a point where it dries, breaks apart and becomes a savannah.

As it stands, the Amazon creates a weather system of its own. In the vast rainforest, water evaporates from the trees to form rain clouds which travel over the tree canopy, recycling this moisture five or six times. This keeps the forest cool and hydrated, feeding it the water it needs to sustain life.

But if swathes of the forest die, that mechanism could be broken. And once this happens there may be no going back.

Brazilian climatologist Carlos Nobre first put forward this theory in 2018. The paper he co-authored says that if the Amazon is deforested by 25% and the global temperature hits between 2C and 2.5C above pre-industrial levels, the tipping point will be hit.

“I’m even more worried now than I was in 2018,” he says. “I just came back from COP28 and I’m not optimistic that greenhouse gases will be reduced by the agreement targets. If we exceed 2.5C, the risks to the Amazon are horrendous.”

Currently 17% of the Amazon has been deforested and the global temperature is 1.1C to 1.2C above pre-industrial levels.

But Dr Nobre finds some hope in the fact that deforestation fell in all countries of the Amazon this year and that all are committed to getting it to zero by 2030. He believes Brazil can get there even sooner.

Not all scientists agree the forest will be transformed completely if Dr Nobre’s tipping-point conditions occur. Dr Flávia Costa’s research indicates that parts of the forest will survive - particularly those with easy access to groundwater, such as valleys.

But there are worrying signs of degradation everywhere. In Coari, a city in the heart of the Amazon, the air was thick with smoke as we headed off for Oliveira’s village.

When the forest is dry, small fires set to clear land for planting crops burn out of control. Usually they burn in already degraded or deforested parts of the Amazon but this year has seen more fires in untouched or primary forest.

And there are other signs that the ecosystem is struggling. In two lakes in the region hundreds of dolphins have been found dead.

“It was just devastating,” says Dr Miriam Marmontel, from the Mamirauá Institute for Sustainable Development. “We were dealing with live animals, beautiful specimens and then five days later, we had 70 carcasses.”

In a matter of weeks they found 276 dead dolphins. Dr Marmontel believes it’s the temperature of the water that is killing them. It reached 40.9C in places, nearly 4C higher than dolphin - and human - body temperature.

“You can imagine, the animal that has its whole body immersed in that water for so many hours,” Dr Marmontel says. “What do you do? That’s where you live, then all of a sudden, you’re in the middle of this soup and you can’t get away.”

In her 30 years living in the Amazon, Dr Marmontel never imagined she would see it so dry. She is shocked by how quickly the climate is changing.

“It was like a slap in the face. Because it’s the first time that I see and I feel what’s happening to the Amazon,” she says.

“We always say these animals are sentinels because they feel first what’s going to come to us. It’s happening to them, it’s going to happen to us.”

For Oliveira, too, this year has been a wake up call.

“We know that we are very much to blame for this, we haven’t been paying attention, we haven’t been defending our mother Earth. She is screaming for help,” he says.

“It’s time to defend her.”

’The devil’s rope’: How barbed wire changed America
▻https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40448594

7.8.2017 by Tim Harford - Late in 1876, so the story goes, a young man named John Warne Gates built a wire-fence pen in the middle of San Antonio, Texas.

He rounded up some of the toughest and wildest longhorns in all of Texas. That’s how he described them.

Others say the cattle were a docile bunch. And there are those who wonder whether this particular story is true at all. But never mind.

John Warne Gates - who would become known as “Bet A Million Gates” - took bets from onlookers as to whether the powerful beasts could break through the fragile-seeming wire. They couldn’t.

Image caption : John Warne Gates was quick to see the potential of barbed wire in redefining the US landscape

Even when Gates’s sidekick, a Mexican cowboy, charged at the cattle howling Spanish curses and waving a burning brand in each hand, the wire held.

Bet-A-Million Gates was selling a new kind of fence, and the orders soon came rolling in.

Transformative

The advertisements of the time touted it as “The Greatest Discovery Of The Age”, patented by Joseph Glidden, of De Kalb Illinois. Gates described it more poetically: “lighter than air, stronger than whiskey, cheaper than dust”.

We simply call it barbed wire.

Calling it the greatest discovery of the age might seem hyperbolic, even allowing for the fact that the advertisers didn’t know Alexander Graham Bell was about to be awarded a patent for the telephone.

But while we accept the telephone as transformative, barbed wire wrought huge changes on the American West, and much more quickly.

Joseph Glidden’s design for barbed wire wasn’t the first, but it was the best.

Image caption ;Joseph Glidden’s barbed wire would make his fortune

Glidden’s design is recognisably modern.

The wicked barb is twisted around a strand of smooth wire, then a second strand of smooth wire is twisted together with the first to stop the barbs from sliding around. American farmers snapped it up.

There was a reason they were so hungry for it.

A few years earlier, President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Homestead Act of 1862.

Uncharted territory

The act specified that any honest citizen - including women, and freed slaves - could lay claim to up to 160 acres (0.6 sq km) of land in America’s western territories. All they had to do was build a home there and work the land for five years.

Image caption : The 1862 Homestead Act set out the rules on who could own land in the western territories

But the prairie was a vast and uncharted expanse of tall, tough grasses, a land suitable for nomads, not settlers. It had long been the territory of the Native Americans.

After Europeans arrived and pushed west, the cowboys roamed free, herding cattle over the boundless plains.

But settlers needed fences, not least to keep those free-roaming cattle from trampling their crops. And there wasn’t a lot of wood - certainly none to spare for fencing in mile after mile of what was often called “The American Desert”.

Farmers tried growing thorn-bush hedges, but they were slow-growing and inflexible. Smooth wire fences didn’t work either - the cattle simply pushed through them.

Barbed wire changed what the Homestead Act could not.

Image caption : By the end of the Civil War, in 1865, 15,000 homestead claims had been established

Until it was developed, the prairie was an unbounded space, more like an ocean than a stretch of arable land.

Private ownership of land wasn’t common because it wasn’t feasible.

’The devil’s rope’

Barbed wire also sparked ferocious disagreements.

The homesteading farmers were trying to stake out their property - property that had once been the territory of various Native American tribes. No wonder those tribes called barbed wire “the devil’s rope”.

The old-time cowboys also lived on the principle that cattle could graze freely across the plains - this was the law of the open range. The cowboys hated the wire: cattle would get nasty wounds and infections.

When the blizzards came, the cattle would try to head south. Sometimes they got stuck against the wire and died in their thousands.

Other cowmen adopted barbed wire, using it to fence off private ranches. And while barbed wire could enforce legal boundaries, many fences were illegal - attempts to commandeer common land for private purposes.

As the wire’s dominion spread, fights started to break out.

In the “fence-cutting wars”, masked gangs such as the Blue Devils and the Javelinas cut the wires and left dire threats warning fence-owners not to rebuild. There were shootouts and some deaths.

Eventually, the authorities clamped down. The fence-cutting wars ended, The barbed wire remained.

“It makes me sick,” said one trail driver in 1883, “when I think of onions and Irish potatoes growing where mustang ponies should be exercising and where four-year-old steers should be getting ripe for market.”

And if the cowboys were outraged, the Native Americans suffered much more.

These ferocious arguments on the frontier were reflected in a philosophical debate.

The English 17th Century philosopher John Locke - a great influence on the founding fathers of the United States - puzzled over the problem of how anybody might legally come to own land. Once upon a time, nobody owned anything.

Locke argued that we all own our own labour. And if you mix your labour with the land that nature provides - for example, by ploughing the soil - then you’ve blended something you definitely own with something that nobody owns. By working the land, you’ve come to own it.

Nonsense, said Jean-Jacques Rousseau, an 18th Century philosopher from Geneva who protested against the evils of enclosure.

In his Discourse on Inequality, he lamented “the first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying, ’This is mine,’ and found people simple enough to believe him.” This man, said Rousseau, “was the real founder of civil society”.

The importance of ownership

He did not intend that as a compliment.

But it’s certainly true that modern economies are built on the legal fact that most things - including land and property - have an owner, usually a person or a corporation.

The ability to own private property also gives people an incentive to invest in and improve what they own - whether that’s a patch of land in the American Midwest, or an apartment in the Indian city of Kolkata (Calcutta), or even a piece of intellectual property such as the rights to Mickey Mouse.

It’s a powerful argument - and it was ruthlessly and cynically deployed by those who wanted to argue that Native Americans didn’t really have a right to their own territory, because they weren’t actively developing it in the style that Europeans saw fit.

So the story of how barbed wire changed the West is also the story of how property rights changed the world.

And it’s also the story of how, even in a sophisticated economy, what the law says sometimes matters less than matters of simple practicality.

The 1862 Homestead Act laid out the rules on who owned what in the western territories. But those rules didn’t mean much before they were reinforced by barbed wire.

Meanwhile, the barbed wire barons Gates and Glidden became rich - as did many others.

The year that Glidden secured his barbed wire patent, 32 miles (51km) of wire were produced.

Six years later, in 1880, the factory in De Kalb turned out 263,000 miles (423,000km) of wire, enough to circle the world 10 times over.
