For months at a time, the detention of migrant children seems to fall off the national radar, somehow fading to the background, behind the daily dramas of scandals big and small. And then suddenly, news will erupt: The children don’t have soap. They are freezing. The food is rotten. Where this information comes from is not primarily from journalists but monitors—lawyers and advocates who regularly visit the nation’s detention facilities and border-patrol facilities to document the conditions. They do so not because these sites request the monitoring, but because that monitoring is allowed by what’s known as the Flores settlement, a 22-year-old consent decree that governs the care of migrant children in custody. But with new rules that the Trump administration is expected to publish this week, even that single, infrequent geyser of information could go away. As part of a sweeping proposal to scrap the Flores regulations—including a change that would enable the Trump administration … [Read more...] about If a Child Is Jailed and No One Is There to Hear Him Cry

Almost half of European Union land is currently under a drought warning or more severe "alert" level, hampering agriculture, energy production and water supply, the European Commission has confirmed. From France in the east and Romania in the west, to western Germany and southern Greece, a "wide and persistent" lack of rain, combined with heatwaves, makes for an alarmingly long list of countries where drought is getting worse. New data from the European Drought Observatory (EDO) shows some 45% of the bloc's territory under "warning" conditions, the second of three drought categories, during the ten days leading to 20 July. Meanwhile, 15% of land has moved into the most severe "alert" state, meaning not only is land drying out after low rain, but plants and crops are impaired too. The figures show little improvement from the previous ten-day period, which saw 46% of land at "warning" level with dried out soil, and 13% in "alert" territory.

Published 4 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing A 12-year-old girl has made hundreds of survival blankets for homeless people out of crisp packets. Alyssa, from Prestatyn, Denbighshire, flattens them out, cleans them and uses an iron to fuse them together into a single sheet. During the past year, she has made more than 200 blankets using almost 10,000 waste crisp packets. The blankets have been given to organisations which support homeless people in Llandudno, Wrexham and Rhyl. Each one takes an hour to make, but Alyssa said the effort was worth it because it helps homeless people and stops the crisp packets from being thrown in the bin.
