The latest victims of overtourism? Huskies The nights are drawing in and temperatures are dropping in the Northern Hemisphere. And in Finnish Lapland, that means one thing: tourists are on the way, and they want husky rides. That's becoming a problem. In 2016, the top tourist activity in Finnish Lapland was snowmobiling. Three years on, it's husky sledding. Around 4,000 huskies work in the tourism industry -- compared with just 660 reindeer. But the sudden rise in husky rides is leading experts to warn that there are hidden costs to the popular travel activity, from animals flown in temporarily from Southern Europe, to poor รูปแบบการแทงยอดนิยม animal welfare standards and dogs being put down when they reach retirement age. What's more, the short season means that dogs are essentially out of work for eight months of the year. And with demand exploding, farms cannot afford to breed more dogs, leading to "pop-up" groups flying in from other countries, w...

Baghdadi is gone, but ISIS isn't dead yet and could be poised for a resurgence The head of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is dead. The man who led the state that called itself Islamic -- first capturing Raqqa in Syria and then leading a blitzkrieg through Iraq, rampaging through Mosul, Tikrit, to the gates of Baghdad -- is no more. ISIS established a horrifying standard of brutality, re-establishing slavery, practicing what amounted to genocide against the แทงบอลออนไลน์789 Yazidis, carrying out mass executions and beheadings -- all caught on camera -- and demolishing religious sites and antiquities. The United States, with the help of its coalition allies, Iraq and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), destroyed the Islamic State and killed Baghdadi. ISIS, however, is far from finished. It operates in West Africa, Libya, Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Afghanistan and the Philippines, and has followers in Europe and elsewhere. That, in addition to as many as 18,000 fighter...

Lebanon is at a crossroads between a new start or a return to unrest Beirut, Lebanon Daylight filters through a large gap at the back of an abandoned cinema in central Beirut. The silhouetted figures of protesters gather on the steps to listen to a political talk by Charbel Nahas. For days, the two-time former minister and progressive party leader has attracted large crowds, as he shares his ideas for a political transition to a non-sectarian government. Today, he เกมส์ยิงปลา pantip takes center stage in the crumbling amphitheater. "The regime has already fallen!" says Nahas in a rousing 20-minute speech. "I want you all to look around you and see that the state hasn't always been this bad, and it will change." The protesters cheer.

Hong Kong China and India desperately want to improve their trade relationship. But it seems whenever the countries' leaders meet, the Himalayas get in the way. When Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2018, it came after a tense, months-long military standoff over Doklam, a disputed region in the "trijunction" between India, China and Bhutan, high in the Himalayas. That standoff at times appeared poised to spill over to outright conflict, a repeat of the brief border war the two countries fought in 1962. As Xi lands in the coastal city of Chennai Friday for a two-day visit to India, it's the Kashmir Valley at the northwestern tip of the mountain range that's poised to spoil efforts to improve Sino-Indian ties. At least this time, Beijing isn't directly involved in เว็บพนันบอล ต่างประเทศ the conflict. While it claims parts of eastern Kashmir as its territory, tensions were recently...

West is paying the price for supporting Hong Kong riots, Chinese state media says Hong Kong The Chinese government and state-run media have accused Western countries of hypocrisy in their attitude to violent FUN88 protests in Spain, Chile and Hong Kong over the past week. Some articles even allege that demonstrations in Europe and South America are the direct result of Western tolerance of Hong Kong unrest, now in its 20th week. Speaking to reporters on Monday night, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman UFA88 Hua Chunying said that the response by Western countries to the protests showed "democracy and human rights are only a pretentious cover for Western interference in Hong Kong affairs." "More and more people have come to realize that 'human rights', 'democracy' and 'beautiful sights' preached by some Western politicians are just illusory as a mirage in the desert," she said. In a commentary published in the state-run Beijing News...
