Date palms Matilde Gattoni The world’s oases are at the forefront of an existential battle against climate change: limited rainfall and rising heat have dramatically affected these unique ecosystems and the culture they sustain. Morocco has lost two-thirds of its oases – lush, fertile areas in the desert – in just a single century. Local people plead with the desert for water Matilde Gattoni Take the town of M’Hamid El Ghizlane, the last stop before the vast, dry expanse of the Sahara. Here, local people plead with the desert for water (pictured above). Dressed in white robes, they regularly meet at the edge of the desert to recite ancestral chants asking for an end to the drought and for life to be brought back to the land. While droughts have always been part of life here, they used to be intermittent, allowing people to stock food and water to make it through dry times. But the oasis that sustains the community has shrunk over the past few decades, leading to scorched palm trees and threatening centuries of culture and tradition.

Vice President-elect JD Vance flew to Washington Wednesday to block President Joe Biden’s nominee for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). By a one-vote margin, senators sank Lauren McFerren’s nomination to continue serving on the NLRB Wednesday afternoon, giving President-elect Donald Trump the opportunity to nominate her replacement. The 50 to 49 vote ensures Democrats will not maintain a majority on the NLRB into the Trump administration. The term would have lasted additional five years. Vance put his transition duties on hold in order to block the nominee, flying to Washington for the sole purpose of voting against McFerren. Breitbart News reported that Vance, who will maintain his Senate seat until resigning before his January 20 swearing-in, is performing numerous duties but concentrating on staffing the administration. However, Vance said he would “move heaven and earth” if his vote in Washington could block a Biden nominee. Breitbart reported statements from Vance and a transition team spokesman in November: “As a co-chairman of the transition it’s vital that I’m focused on making sure President Trump’s government is fully staffed with people who support his America First agenda and will be ready to hit the ground running on January 20th,” Vance said in a statement. “However, it’s also important to me to do everything in my power to block more radical judges from getting confirmed. So while it may be outside of the norm for an incoming VP to take Senate votes in the lame duck period, if my colleagues here in the Senate tell me that we have a real chance of beating one of these nominees, I’ll move heaven and earth to be there for the vote.” A spokesman for the Trump-Vance transition echoed Vance. “We cannot allow Chuck Schumer to play games with the transition’s ability to staff the incoming administration,” Brian Hughes, a transition spokesman, said in a statement. “Under no circumstances should we allow radical left judges to be jammed through the Senate at the 11th hour, but the Vice President-elect is needed for the transition to continue working ahead of schedule.” Vance’s vote Wednesday kept the promise he made in November. His focus on staffing the administration, which necessarily has kept him out of Washington, is consistent with historical norms, but Vance has bucked those norms to block Biden nominees. In November, Vance became the first senator in a century to vote on a judicial nomination after being elected to either the presidency or vice presidency.

India's lower house of parliament suspended proceedings for a second day yesterday after disruptions by lawmakers demanding a discussion of the US indictment of billionaire Gautam Adani, while stocks of his group's companies clawed back some losses. Last week US authorities accused Adani, his nephew and executive director Sagar Adani and managing director of Adani Green, Vneet S Jaain, of being part of a scheme to pay bribes of $265 million to secure Indian power supply contracts and misleading US investors. The ports-to-power conglomerate denied the charges as "baseless" and vowed to seek "all possible legal recourse". India's opposition, especially the Congress party, accuse Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of shielding Adani. Parliament proceedings were disrupted for the second day since the winter session began this week, with MPs shouting slogans and demanding discussion of the Adani allegations.Aaron Rodgers suggests a ‘curse’ might be the reason for the Jets’ losing ways

Danylo Sikan and Oleksandr Zubkov had the Ukraine club 2-0 up at halftime but after Pedro Henrique was sent off with 21 minutes remaining, PSV were able to fashion a remarkable recovery that stretched their two-year unbeaten home record to 47 games. Tillman squeezed home a free kick in the 87th minute and then on 90 minutes thumped home a shot from outside the box to level the scores. American international Pepi then got the winner as PSV went one better than the heroics of their Dutch counterparts Feyenoord, who came back from 3-0 down to draw at Manchester City on Tuesday. The victory pushed PSV up to 18th in the standings after five matches and left their opponents bewildered after Shakhtar had helped to ensure an exciting spectacle at the Philips Stadion. The Ukraine champions proved lightning quick on counter-attacks and caught PSV with an early sucker punch in the eighth minute after quick combination play down the right saw Yukhym Konoplia set up Sikan whose sliding effort squeezed just beyond goalkeeper Walter Benitez. Zubkov then struck a superb curling effort beyond Benitez’s outstretched arm for the second goal in the 37th minute, again set up by Konoplia who had robbed PSV left back Matteo Dams of the ball near the halfway line. Despite PSV having numerous efforts on goal, Shakhtar looked comfortably on course for an upset away win until Pedro Henrique was sent off for a dangerous challenge on the ankle of Johan Bakayoko in the 69th minute. That allowed PSV to pile on the pressure and the Ukrainian defence eventually crumbled after Tillman’s free kick squeezed in at the near post as Dmytro Riznyk failed to hold on to the ball. Goalkeeper Riznyk had been one of the side's heroes up to then, dealing with everything the Dutch threw his way, but he had no chance when Tillman cued up a long-range effort on the stroke of fulltime. The panic-stricken visitors then allowed PSV to slide in the winner as Pepi finished off a series of passes across the face of goal, with an effort that went in off the post, to the delirious delight of the home support. The Dutch club’s next Champions League assignment is against Brest in France on Dec. 10 Shakhtar host Bayern Munich the same day, forced by the Ukraine crisis to play their home games at Schalke 04’s stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Class 3A Stewartville 43, Dassel-Cokato 22 Parker Wangen scored two rushing touchdowns on Saturday and added a receiving score as Stewartville successfully completed the defense of its state title in its typically dominant fashion. The Tigers have won 28 straight games, none by fewer than 13 points. Wangen also had an interception, made a field goal and completed a pass on a do-it-all day. Dylan Scanlan ran for 140 yards and two scores for Stewartville on a day where the Tigers tallied 243 total yards rushing. The Tigers (14-0) led 43-7 early in the final frame. Kobee Thielen ran for 107 yards and a score for the Chargers (11-2), while Caleb Smock added 92 yards and a touchdown rushing. But the Chargers committed two turnovers in the game, and both resulted in Stewartville touchdowns going the other way. Isaac Spencer led the Tigers with 11 total tackles and a recovered fumble. Stewartville is 46-2 over its last four seasons. 9 Player Fertile-Beltrami 20, Hills-Beaver Creek 8 Fertile-Beltrami star Isaiah Wright ran for 185 yards and also had an interception to guide the Falcons to their first state title in program history after near misses in previous seasons. Wright finished the year with 2,613 yards and 40 scores on the ground. His production Saturday provided more than enough offense for the Falcons’ defense, which held Hills-Beaver Creek to just 206 yards of total offense while recording three interceptions. Wright had one of those, while the other two were hauled in by Bryer Strem. Jonah Harstad also ran in two scores for the Falcons, including a one-yard, punch-in insurance score early in the final frame.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation chairman Kim Williams gave a frank and critical opinion of Joe Rogan on Tuesday, suggesting the podcast host was taking advantage of the American public. When asked to offer his thoughts on Rogan during his address to the Australian National Press Club, Williams admitted that he was not a consumer of "The Joe Rogan Experience" — a comment that drew laughter from the audience. "I think people like Mr. Rogan prey on people's vulnerabilities," he said. "They prey on fear. They prey on anxiety. They prey on all the elements that contribute to uncertainty in society." He also suggested that Rogan pushes the idea that entrepreneurial and conspiratorial "fantasy" outcomes are a normal part of the "social narrative." CARVILLE SAYS YOUNG 'SNOT-NOSED' PROGRESSIVE STAFFERS HURT HARRIS WITH 'HISSY FIT' OVER ROGAN Australian Broadcasting Corporation chairman Kim Williams is the latest member of the media to criticize Joe Rogan following President-elect Trump's victory. (Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images/X/Screenshot) "I personally find it deeply repulsive and to think that someone has such remarkable power in the United States is something that I look at in disbelief," he said. Williams said he was shocked that Rogan could be considered a source of entertainment when he and other similar figures are "treating the public as plunder for purposes that are really quite malevolent." The Williams video quickly drew the attention of Rogan, who posted, "LOL WUT," on X. Fox News Digital reached out to Rogan's publicist for further comment. After President-elect Donald Trump won the election, many Democrats realized the power independent podcasters like Rogan have with modern voters.

KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN AIDES SUGGEST TRUMP'S SIT-DOWN WITH JOE ROGAN TO BLAME FOR HER NOT JOINING PODCAST Podcaster Joe Rogan has spoken repeatedly about how the modern American left has driven away people with identity politics and impractical policies. ((Photo by Michael Schwartz/WireImage)) Rogan has espoused liberal views at times and expressed support for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2020 when he sought the Democratic nomination. However, in 2024, Rogan endorsed Trump shortly before the election. Several media personalities have suggested Rogan and other podcasters handed Trump the election by spreading "misinformation" and urged Democrats to cultivate their own podcast that rivals "The Joe Rogan Experience." Rogan referenced complains on the left that they need their "own Joe Rogan" on Tuesday. "I think these ‘Call Her Daddy’ shows and all these different shows that [Harris] went on - I mean I'm sure they had an impact, but I think that in the future... I'm sure they're scrambling to try to create their own version of this show," Rogan said. "This is one thing that keeps coming up like, ‘We need our own Joe Rogan,’ right?
