Italian rice crops suffer in drought, worst European heatwave ever

Summer came too early to Europe’s most important rice-growing region, and weeds are taking over Sharon Angoli’s parched paddies in Italy’s Pavia province. “That one is done for, no matter what happens,” the 22-year-old said as she surveyed one desolate field that has been baked by what is among the most severe heatwaves to hit the continent in June.

Early in the morning on June 18, a message from an unknown account slipped into the TikTok inbox of a flight attendant in Bangkok with a series of questions: “Are you flying to Australia?

Is it wiser for middle powers ‘not to take sides’ in face of US-China rivalry?

Middle powers would be better off hedging their bets rather than picking sides between countries such as the United States or China, a forum in Beijing heard on Friday.

Speakers at Tsinghua University’s World Peace Forum agreed that these nations should band together to seek more diversified partnerships. “So.

What's actually going on with banks?

I inherited a good amount last year, most of which was in deka funds and certificates. After having to understand what I have and what it does, I decided that it didn't work for me and I would like to simplify it. So the plan was to throw the majority of it into a FTSE World via Scalable and forget about the next 10-15 years. So I slowly started to rearrange everything.
