Our Disgraceful Exit From the Paris Accord


THE NEW YORK TIMES: Only future generations will be able to calculate the full consequences of President Trump’s incredibly shortsighted approach to climate change, since it is they who will suffer the rising seas and crippling droughts that scientists say are inevitable unless the world brings fossil fuel emissions to heel.

But this much is clear now: Mr. Trump’s policies — the latest of which was his decision to withdraw from the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change — have dismayed America’s allies, defied the wishes of much of the American business community, threatened America’s competitiveness as well as job growth in crucial industries and squandered what was left of America’s claim to leadership on an issue of global importance. » | The Editorial Board | Thursday, June 1, 2017

Smoking Has Become the Root of ALL Evil! What's Being Done to Repair the Damage Done by Smoking? – Inside Story


According to the World Health Organization, seven million people - almost the entire population of Hong Kong - die every year because of smoking and other ailments related to cigarette use.

The WHO's annual report says the industry is costly to health, the economy and the environment. The report called Big Tobacco says discarded cigarette ends and waste contain more than seven thousand toxic chemicals that poison the environment.

Cigarette butts account for up to 40 percent of all litter collected in coastal and urban clean-ups. The report also said that between 10 to 14 percent of children in tobacco-growing families miss class because they're working in tobacco fields.

Tobacco also contributes to one in six deaths from non-communicable diseases. So what's needed to control the industry?

Masculinity in the Middle East: New Report Reveals Surprising Results


The New Germans - Featured Documentary


Nearly one million ethnic Arabs fleeing war and violence back home have come to Germany since 2015.

This film follows one of them, newspaper editor and Syrian asylum seeker Ramy Alasheq, as he looks into historical patterns of Arab immigration and how the latest arrivals are being received in their new country.

For Ramy and many others, life has not been the same since young men said to be Arab were accused of robbing and attacking German women on New Year's Eve 2015 in his new hometown, Cologne. It is a city that Ramy has come to love. But while he and fellow immigrants initially received a warm reception, there are now widespread calls to halt the entry of Arab refugees into Germany.

For hundreds of years, Germany has been a magnet for migrants and refugees from all over the world. But its specific focus on encouraging migration from countries in the Middle East like Egypt, Syria, Iraq and to a lesser extent Jordan, Palestine and North Africa, is not often discussed.

Through the human stories of second and third-generation migrants, as well as incoming new refugees, this film paints a picture of how the experience of Arab immigrants in Germany has changed over the decades.

We ask what it means to be a foreigner in Germany, and at the same time come to understand Germany itself and the reasoning behind its immigration policies. We also hear from German analysts and decision-makers about Germany's dependency on migrant communities to re-populate its dwindling towns and keep its economy strong.
