What obstacles hinder effective reform, and what long-term consequences might persist if these issues remain unresolved?

What are the long-term implications of the new government's energy policy for Germany's climate goals and energy independence?

The conflict between energy security and climate goals is highlighted by Reiche's plan to build gas power plants and weaken the Building Energy Act. This could hinder Germany's progress towards its climate targets and potentially lead to increased reliance on fossil fuels, undermining efforts to secure energy independence. The 100 billion euro investment in climate protection, however, might mitigate some of this negative impact.

ISIS's condemnation underscores the complex political landscape in Syria, where factions like HTS, once linked to ISIS, now oppose it. Sherea's meeting with Trump, and subsequent pressure to remove foreign fighters from Syria, adds another layer of complexity. The differing views on these fighters—from crucial assets to potential threats—illustrate the deep divisions within the country.

What is the specific impact of tropical cyclone exposure on infant mortality in the studied low- and middle-income countries, and what are the key contributing factors?

Exposure to tropical cyclones during pregnancy or infancy is linked to a 4.4 per 1,000 live births increase in infant mortality across seven low- and middle-income countries. This association was most pronounced in Bangladesh, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti, but not in India, possibly due to India's superior storm response systems. The impact extended from tropical storms to Category 1 and 2 storms.
