More than 6,000 villagers have been forced to leave rural communities within a six-kilometre (3.7-mile) radius of the Mayon volcano’s crater in northeastern Albay province in the Philippines. Officials on Saturday said thousands more need to be moved to safety from the permanent danger zone amid another threat: monsoon rains that could be unleashed by an approaching typhoon. Authorities warned that Typhoon Guchol, which is approaching the Philippines from the Pacific but is projected to skirt the archipelago, may still dump heavy rains – unwelcome news for those living near Mayon’s slopes. “There’s a typhoon and floodwaters may rush down Mayon and swamp this village. That’s one of our fears,” […]
Treaties are hard fought and often take years to negotiate. They are designed to keep peace, preventing rival countries from going to war. One agreement, signed in 1990 towards the end of the Cold War, is the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. The United States, other NATO members, the former Soviet Union and its central and eastern European allies agreed to prevent military build-up at their borders. But in recent years, NATO’s expansion towards east and Russia’s security interests have left that accord all but meaningless.

United States government lawyers argued that the company’s owners, the Sacklers, knew how their medication was being abused widely, but doubled down on production – and profits. Recently a lawsuit was settled for $6bn. Barry Meier, the author of Pain Killer (soon to be a Netflix series), started writing about the opioid epidemic 20 years ago when it was killing about 20,000 people yearly.
