A measure to recognize the importance of the role of people of African descent in the protection of nature was also adopted Friday. Negotiators struggled to find common ground on some key issues in the final week, but were able to come to a consensus after negotiating late into Friday. Global Indigenous delegations erupted into cheers and tears over the historic decision.

Donald Trump is set to visit Dearborn, Michigan the nation’s largest Arab-majority city  on Friday, according to a local business owner who first insisted the former president call for peace in Lebanon before hosting him. Metro Detroit is home to nation’s largest concentration of Arab Americans, with a large chunk of them living in Dearborn. The city which President Joe Biden won by a 3-to-1 margin has been roiled by political turmoil, with many upset with the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war. While Vice President Kamala Harris has been working through surrogates to ease community tensions, Trump’s visit will…

A spacecraft blasted off Monday to investigate the scene of a cosmic crash. The European Space Agency’s Hera spacecraft rocketed away on a two-year journey to the small, harmless asteroid rammed by NASA two years ago in a dress rehearsal for the day a killer space rock threatens Earth. It’s the second part of a planetary defense test that could one day help save the planet. SpaceX’s Falcon rocket quickly disappeared with Hera into the late morning clouds. An hour later, applause erupted in the control center in Germany as the spacecraft separated from the rocket’s upper stage and then called home.…

White House press officials altered the official transcript of a call in which President Joe Biden appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, according to two U.S. government officials and an internal email obtained Thursday by AP. Biden created an uproar earlier this week with his remarks to Latino activists responding to racist comments at a Trump rally made by the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who referred to the U.S. island territory of Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.” Biden, according to a transcript prepared by the official White House…

Country music has become a dominant force, bleeding into pop music’s mainstream. And artists who might not have been previously associated with the genre  like Beyoncé and Post Malone  have recently released country albums. They’ve been popular, but their prospects at the Grammys remain uncertain. Beyoncé’s landmark “Cowboy Carter” recentered Black performers in this music’s history and made her the first Black woman to hit No. 1 on Billboard country albums chart. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is the biggest song of the year, having spent more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other it combines his twang…

You gotta hand it to Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yankees certainly did. When New York let LA back into World Series Game 5, the star-studded Dodgers did what they’ve done all year — kept on going and finished. After taking advantage of three miscues to erase a five-run, fifth-inning deficit during one of the most memorable midgame meltdowns in baseball history, the Dodgers rallied on sacrifice flies from Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts in the eighth to beat New York 7-6 on Wednesday night. “We’re obviously resilient, but there’s so much love…

Cuba is teetering on the brink of economic collapse as it grapples with severe electricity grid failures and a deepening financial crisis, leaving citizens without consistent power and essential resources. The crisis, exacerbated by decades of sanctions, mismanagement, and the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, has left the country’s economy at a standstill and its population in despair. Power outages have become a daily occurrence across the island, with many Cubans enduring hours-long blackouts that have disrupted businesses, hospitals, and homes. The country’s aging electricity grid, powered largely by outdated fuel oil plants, has struggled to meet demand,…

“I’ve never fallen in love at a concert before, but stranger things have happened,” the pop star told the audience. Each night on her Short n’ Sweet Tour, Sabrina Carpenter arrests an audience member for being too hot. Last night in Atlanta that audience member was none other than Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown. During the show, as usual, Carpenter announced that she saw “this gorgeous girl” in the crowd. “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up,” the singer said. “This girl is so hot.” She then pretended not to know who Brown was, forcing the actress to scream “Millie!” at the stage.…
