'There will be other places': The catastrophe stalking Swiss Alps towns The Swiss Alps are a natural wonder and a key part of the national identity, but life in the mountains is under threat from climate change.

Homes that weren’t lost under the deluge from above were swallowed by rising waters, as the Lonza River, blocked by the landslide, broke its banks. #ClimateChange

In an instant, the mountain had wiped a village in the Swiss Alps off the map. #ResistanceEarth

Joint Statement by the Leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom on indiscriminate Iranian attacks on countries in the region.
The Leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom are appalled by the indiscriminate and disproportionate missile attacks launched by Iran against countries in the region, including those who were not involved in initial US and Israeli military operations. Iran's reckless attacks have targeted our close allies and are threatening our service personnel and our civilians across the region. We call on Iran to stop these reckless attacks immediately.
We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran's capability to fire missiles and drones at their source. We have agreed to work together with the US and allies in the region on this matter.
