    [ad_1]

    Protesters carry a banner as they attend a mass ‘independence party’ in a demonstration against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his nationalist coalition government’s judicial overhaul.

    Under a frail ceasefire, evacuations have been taking place from Sudan for diplomatic staff and citizens from around the world due to the escalating violence.

  • Life in Ny-Ålesund, the world’s northern-most research station – in pictures

    [ad_1]

    Ny-Ålesund in Svalbard, Norway, sits deep within the Arctic Circle, about 700 miles from the north pole. It has about 35 year-round residents, but in summer the population swells to more than 100 as scientists fly in from around the world. Life in the town centres around saunas, sled dogs, and a weekly evening gathering called Strikk og Drikk, or Knit and Sip

    [ad_1]
