Carles Puigdemont, the exiled former leader of Catalonia, has set stringent conditions for his party Junts per Catalunya to support Socialist acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in Spain's parliament. These conditions include an amnesty for separatists, which the Socialists find unacceptable. Puigdemont, who resides in Belgium after the failed 2017 Catalan independence bid, emphasized the need for Spain to recognize the legitimacy of the independence movement and to cease judicial actions against it. The conservative People's Party, led by Alberto Nunez Feijoo, is expected to attempt forming a government but is unlikely to succeed without making concessions to separatists, which they oppose. The possibility of an agreement between the Socialists and Puigdemont's party appears unlikely.

All 2.3 million residents of Gaza are facing food insecurity and malnutrition due to Israel's siege, which began after a Hamas raid killed 1,400 people on October 7. Humanitarian aid is insufficient, with the World Food Programme's Kyung-nan Park stating that $112 million is needed to reach 1.1 million people over the next 90 days. The WFP requires 100 trucks a day for meaningful food assistance but is currently only able to enter 40 to 50 trucks. Only one of the over 23 bakeries in Gaza is operational, leading to severe shortages.

In Oostduinkerke, Belgium, the last remaining horseback shrimp fishers are witnessing climate change firsthand, with a decrease in shrimp catch and an increase in species like weevers and squid due to warming waters. The North Sea's surface temperatures have risen by about 0.3 degrees Celsius per decade since 1991, disrupting traditional fishing seasons and making it challenging to set sustainable fishing quotas. Scientists and fishermen express concern over the unpredictable changes in fish stocks and the overall impact of climate change on marine ecosystems.

In Oostduinkerke, Belgium, the last remaining horseback shrimp fishers are witnessing climate change effects firsthand, with a decrease in shrimp catch and an increase in species like weevers and squid due to rising North Sea temperatures. The UNESCO-recognized tradition has been disrupted by the absence of snow and shifting fish populations. Marine ecology researchers and fisheries institutes are concerned about the unpredictable changes in fish stocks and the difficulty in setting sustainable fishing quotas.

In Oostduinkerke, Belgium, the last remaining horseback shrimp fishers are witnessing the impacts of climate change on the North Sea ecosystem. Gunther Vanbleu and Eddy D’Hulster have observed a decrease in shrimp catches and an increase in species like weevers and squid, which are moving north due to warming waters. Marine ecology researcher Ilias Semmouri from Ghent University and Hans Polet of ILVO confirm these shifts, noting higher abundances of certain species and the decline of North Sea cod due to temperature rises and overfishing. The changes are disrupting traditional fishing seasons and making it difficult to set sustainable quotas.

In Oostduinkerke, Belgium, the last practitioners of UNESCO-recognized horseback shrimp fishing are witnessing climate change effects firsthand, with a decrease in shrimp catch and an increase in species like weevers and squid due to rising North Sea temperatures. NASA states that oceans have absorbed 90% of the warming caused by humans, with the North Sea warming by 0.3°C per decade since 1991. This has disrupted fishing seasons and fish populations, complicating sustainable fishing quota management. Scientists and fishermen express concern over the unpredictable changes and the future of marine ecosystems.

Sara Daebritz, a midfielder with a history of winning titles, believes that the increasing depth and quality of women's soccer make it more challenging to win major tournaments. Despite Germany's strong start at the Women's World Cup with a 6-0 win over Morocco, Daebritz notes that other strong teams have faced difficulties, highlighting the progress of smaller nations. She remains confident in Germany's squad and their chances of securing a third world title. Germany is set to face Colombia next, a team that showed promise in their opening match against South Korea.
