UN to resume Haiti aid flights after planes hit by gunfireThe United Nations Humanitarian Air Service will restart flights within Haiti on Wednesday after around a week’s hiatus and resolving regulatory issues, according to a statement from the U.N. World Food Programme, which manages the service. The U.N. paused flights to Haiti’s capital last Tuesday, a day after gangs struck three commercial planes with gunfire, prompting the U.S. aviation regulator to ban U.S. airlines from flying to the conflict-ravaged Caribbean nation for 30 days. “UNHAS provides passenger and light cargo transport in Haiti for the entire humanitarian community, including local and international NGOs,” WFP said in a statement, adding that the suspension had not affected food supplies. Even as the flights restarted, armed violence continued in parts of the capital Port-au-Prince such as Lower Delmas. “The isolation of Port-au-Prince is amplifying an already dire humanitarian situation,” the IOM Haiti chief Gregoire Goodstein said in a statement, adding that only 20% of the capital was accessible to humanitarian workers.

Shuntaro Tanikawa, who pioneered modern Japanese poetry, poignant but conversational in its divergence from haiku and other traditions, has died. Tanikawa, who translated the Peanuts comic strip and penned the lyrics for the theme song of the animation series Astro Boy, died Nov 13, his son Kensaku Tanikawa said on Tuesday. "For me, the Japanese language is the ground. In every work Tanikawa tackled, including the script for Kon Ichikawa’s Tokyo Olympiad, a documentary film of the 1964 Tokyo Games, the respectful love for the beauty of the Japanese language resonates. Some of his works were made into picture books for children, and they are often featured in Japanese school textbooks.

Perhaps you are overstimulated while battling a panicky FOMO despite the fact you are literally in the park as you feel it. And that's when my coworker Katy, my knight in shining jersey cotton and a baseball cap, grabbed me by the arm and told everyone she was taking me to the "free Coke place."

Putin issues warning to US with new nuclear doctrineRussian President Vladimir Putin issued a warning to the United States on Tuesday, lowering the threshold for a nuclear strike just days after the administration of Joe Biden reportedly allowed Ukraine to fire American missiles deep into Russia.

Putin is Russia’s primary decision-maker on the use of Russia’s nuclear arsenal. WARWeeks before the November U.S. presidential elections, Putin ordered changes to the nuclear doctrine.

The ever-awkward Reginald Barclay isn’t the only one whose hero worship freaks out Cochrane. The more that La Forge et al. Yet the actual Cochrane plot in First Contact shows that, in fact, he didn’t do it alone. Even if they don’t get lines, background characters in the Earth scenes show a crowd of people at work, actually enacting Cochrane’s designs.

Refugees and advocates from conflict-ridden and fragile states have raised concern over the glaring disparity in climate financing, lamenting that refugees, one of the most vulnerable populations, are less prioritised.
