Gaza's water crisis is 'a ticking time bomb'

In the Middle East's Gaza Strip, a narrow piece of contested land where three out of four people are refugees, unsafe drinking water has led to a worsening health crisis. Gazan children suffer from diarrhea, kidney disease, stunted growth and impaired IQ.

Twenty years ago, 85 percent of Gaza’s drinking wells were too contaminated for human consumption. Today, that figure is 97 percent.

Moonves wants arbitration; Salesforce, Gap, Workday in solar deal

inserted paragraph from NYT article out of place

She picked some knits

Germany’s biggest rail company, under fire for its unpunctual service, is trying to mollify one disgruntled Munich commuter by buying her “delay scarf,” with the money being donated to charity. Deutsche Bahn, which on Thursday announced plans to hire 22,000 more workers, bought the handmade scarf in an online auction for $8,600. Claudia Weber had knitted the gray, pink and red scarf last year, with each color reflecting the amount of time her journey had been delayed.

The yellow vests are at the vanguard of a politically incorrect uprising

For many in France the media and political class are indistinguishable

It should be remembered, of course, that Macron still has his hardcore supporters, despite the impression in recent weeks that the whole country is against him. On the contrary, one young engineer from Toulouse has organized a march in Paris on January 27 to ‘support the Republic’, and it’s predicated it will draw a significant number to the capital.

Calling themselves the ‘foulards rouges’ (red scarves), one poster shows a man’s flexed bicep, around which is wrapped a red scarf next to the words ‘Je Ne Suis Pas Gilet Jaune’.
