In details published by state-run broadcaster CCTV, China spelled out specific provisions...

When the American writer Mark Twain visited the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the 19th century, he found a largely barren and uninhabited land. At that time, the area was under the control of the Ottoman Empire. To revitalize the wasteland between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, the Ottomans settled Muslim migrants from Albania, Bosnia, and the Caucasus in the region.

Uruguay’s senate passed a law decriminalizing euthanasia, putting the South American nation among a handful of other countries where seriously ill patients can legally obtain help to end their lives. During the debate, senators from the ruling Broad Front coalition delivered impassioned defenses of the right to die, comparing the euthanasia movement to the legalization of divorce and same-sex marriage.

The impact of major forest fires on the work in Bolivia. The children have been back at boarding school with us since February, and they can now hear God’s good news every day of the week through devotionals and children’s services.

What’s more, there were significant requirements to fulfill for the...

Shapiro said during...

Renewable energy overtook coal as the world’s leading source of electricity in the first half of this year—a historic first, according to new data from the global energy think tank Ember. In the US, electricity demand grew faster than clean energy output, increasing reliance on fossil fuels, while in the EU, months of weak wind and hydropower performance led to a rise in coal and gas generation. In a separate report the IEA has halved its forecast for the growth of renewable energy in the US...

Demonization of Israel, Jews, and core Jewish values—including Zionism—continues to spread across nations, international justice venues, university campuses, airports and ports, cultural institutions, and sports arenas. Every insult, every call for a boycott, and every violent act against Jews at prayer is legitimized and amplified across social media. How bad could it get? Just days before the murderous Yom Kippur attack on a Manchester synagogue, CRIF—the official body of French...
