Rice crops are being threatened by El Nino after grain supplies were disrupted by the war in Ukraine

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:31 GMT

NEW DELHI (AP) — Warmer, drier weather because of an earlier than usual El Nino is expected to hamper rice production across Asia, hitting global food security in a world still reeling from the impacts of the war in Ukraine.An El Nino is a natural, temporary and occasional warming of part of the Pacific that shifts global weather patterns, and climate change is making them stronger. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced this one in June, a month or two earlier than it usually does. This gives it time to grow. Scientists say there’s a one in four chance it will expand to supersized levels.That’s bad news for rice farmers, particularly in Asia where 90% of the world’s rice is grown and eaten, since a strong El Nino typically means less rainfall for the thirsty crop.Past El Ninos have resulted in extreme weather, ranging from drought to floods.There are already “alarm bells,” said Abdullah Mamun, a research analyst at the International Food Policy Re...

The jury began deliberating Thursday afternoon and will resume Friday morning.Caleb Rogers, 35, could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of brandishing a department-issued weapon in one of the robberies.

To prepare, he said, he drove to the Red Rock Casino off the Las Vegas Strip to find the best esca...

Biden administration suspends satellite monitoring of Colombian coca crops as cocaine surges

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:31 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — The Biden administration has quietly ditched a key gauge used for decades to measure success in the war on drugs, suspending satellite monitoring of coca crops in Colombia as cocaine production surges in South America. A State Department spokesperson said the move was “temporary” but gave no timeframe for data collection to resume or explain why it was suspended in the first place. It was also unclear whether satellite surveys would continue in Peru and Bolivia, which together account for about half of coca production in the Andean region.The move, first reported by Colombia’s El Tiempo newspaper, has drawn outrage from Republicans in Congress from Florida, who have been calling for the president to decertify Colombia’s government for failing to cooperate in U.S. anti-narcotics efforts. But it tracks with leftist Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s efforts to refocus law enforcement efforts away from the rural backwaters where coca is grown to instead chase ...

Almost a year later, Austin Animal Center still not doing non-emergency intake

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:32:31 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Right now, you can't drop off a stray animal at Austin's taxpayer funded animal center unless it's severely injured or dangerous to the public. That's largely been the case since September of 2022. Intake has "ebbed and flowed" since September of last year, Director Don Bland wrote. That was when the shelter had more than 60 dogs stuck in crates, conditions that went viral. "As space opens up, we’ve eased the restrictions but unfortunately we fill up again very quickly. Throughout all of this time, we have still taken in emergency situations, amounting to an average of 30 cats and dogs impounded every day," Bland said. For the better part of a year, animal advocates have been vocal about their displeasure and have questioned the city's operation. So much so, a new petition is asking the city to review shelter leadership and policy. "We were recently made aware of the petition and have no comment at this time," Bland responded.On Thursday, Bland discussed some of the ...
