What industry will be the first to fall victim to climate change? Some say it happened over 600 years ago.When the Norman Conquest of 1066 established French feudal aristocracy in the British Isles, the invaders brought with them their love of winemaking. The technique flourished in the climatic conditions of the Medieval Warm Period, a period of unusually warm temperatures between 950 and 1250 that allowed vineyards to spread across the well-drained chalky soils of southern England.

Former President Donald Trump has attempted to downplay the turnout at his presidential opponent's rallies, falsely claiming that “no one was there” at a rally in Detroit hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Gov. Tim Walz. Trump, who is obsessed with the size of his rallies and often exaggerates attendance figures, was “unhappy” with the numbers attending Harris and Waltz's campaign events, as Rolling Stone reported last week. “Did anyone notice that Kamala cheated at the airport?” Trump ranted on Truth Social on Sunday. “There was no one on the plane and she edited it with an…

The breaking community is hoping that now that the Paris Olympics are over, the world will give breaking girl Raegan a break. The sport made its Olympic debut in Paris but will probably never return to the Olympics. One memorable moment was when Australian breakdancer Rae Gunn performed the “kangaroo dance” and received a zero. On Sunday, the competition's head judge expressed support for Rachel Gunn, a 36-year-old university professor, saying she was just trying to be creative. The breaking federation also said it was offering mental health support in the wake of the online criticism. “Breaking is all about…
St. Maarten (Photo: Unsplash)NEW DELHI: Sheikh Hasina's son Sajid Wazeb on Sunday denied reports that the former Bangladeshi prime minister had, in an unpublished speech, accused the US of plotting against her.”My mother's statement of resignation published in the newspapers is completely false and fabricated.
